Runemaster in the Last Days

Amelia froze.

She looked at Arnold with her eyes widened in surprise as she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Arnold smiled faintly in return, showing a gentle look on his face.

This might seem a bit hasty, but Arnold knew very well that it wouldn't do him any good to let her stay worried but couldn't get close. At the very least, if they have a relationship, Amelia had the right to supervise him openly and strictly.

"What do you think?" Arnold asked in a low voice, his tone sounded gentle yet there was firmness within it.

Amelia's face turned beet red almost immediately.

"I… Yes, I mean, please take care of me too!" Amelia was a bit too excited to speak coherently.

Her eyes were filled with Arnold's face and at this moment, Amelia felt that her lifelong dream has come true.

One part of her wanted to jump around in joy while the other party was trying hard to restrain her inner desire.

"Good." Arnold smiled soothingly and gently rubbed Amelia's head. He slowly pulled the girl's head closer…

"Amelia! Have your injuries treated…. Uh…" Sean froze on the opened door.

He saw his sister sitting beside the bed with Arnold in front of her. Arnold was lying on the bed but the back was raised, so he was in sitting position. One of his hand was on the back of his sister's head.

As a man who has a girlfriend himself, how could he not know what was going on?

He swiftly turned around while saying, "I'm sorry for disturbing! You can continue!"

Slam!

The door was slammed shut but the two people inside was no longer in the mood to continue.

Amelia's face changed from shy, embarrassed, to frustration and anger.

In the end, it all came to…

"SEAN! COME OVER HERE, YOU BRAT!"

"Ahhh, sister! I didn't mean it! Helppp!"

"DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO KNOCK THE DOOR?!"

"Ahh! Sorry! Sister! Sister!"

Arnold looked at the two people who were chasing after each other on the hospital's corridor and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

While it was annoying to be interrupted, but it was good to see the lively Amelia.

At times like this, one would feel that Amelia is little kid.

'Well, I have to explain things to Samuel when he comes…'

Thinking about Samuel, Arnold rubbed his forehead. Since the two of them were friends, Arnold was naturally honest with the other party about his concern and some other things when they gathered for drinking in the past.

Samuel himself wouldn't stop him as long as he was sure and wouldn't hurt his sister.

Of course, if he dared to hurt her… Samuel would definitely roast him alive. Th means of torturing people had increased sharply since Samuel is a magic warrior.

Just thinking about it made Arnold really helpless.

But no matter what, he didn't regret it.

Seeing Amelia coming back after beating up Sean, Arnold chuckled and pointed at the food. "It should be ready now."

"Ah, right! Let's eat again~."

"Alright, alright."

…

Outside the door, Sean was half dead while lying on a chair. His face was bruised after being beaten up by his sister.

It was not like he couldn't avoid it, but he knew that if he did that, his sister will not hesitate to punch him harder. Their battle might never end until they demolished something.

'Amelia has become more violent lately…'

Thinking about the fact that Amelia has gotten used to beating up people, Sean felt that his face hurt so much.

Why did she have to get such a habit after having so much strength?

Sean couldn't understand.

When Ruben came to the hospital, the first scene he saw was the pig head Sean.

Ruben was silent.

"What did you do to provoke Amelia?"

"I… I interrupted her relationship?" Sean replied, his tone sounded unsure.

Ruben looked at Sean and then at the closed hospital door in front of him. He had the feeling that if the two people inside were doing something that shouldn't be seen by others… he would be in worse state than Sean.

After all, Sean is Amelia's brother and she will have reservation when dealing with him.

But he's Samuel's assistant.

There was no such immunity for him.

"Anyway, they can stay in the hospital for a while longer if they want to," Ruben said without hesitation and added, "You can manage the hospitalization procedure yourself and I'm going back."

"Wait! Don't you need to tell them?" Sean wanted to stop Ruben, but the latter was unexpected fast this time.

Seeing Ruben disappearing from the corridor, Sean's lips twitched.

He silently took out his phone.

If he couldn't enter, couldn't he just send text message?

Anyway, the most important thing is to let these two people knew about this!

After Sean sent the message, he ran to the front desk. He decided that once he finished with the procedure, he had to go back to their temporary residence and stayed far away from these two people.

Ahhh, he missed his own girlfriend now.

…

Inside the Crack

In contrast to the pink atmosphere between Amelia and Arnold, Riya and Samuel were busy inside the crack to kill many magic beasts.

Even after encountering that rank 7 Ghost Transformed Beast, the two of them didn't have any intention to back down. They continued their journey and explored various places within the crack.

And it was through this exploration that they found something interesting.

"It's a dead end again," Riya said as she patted the wall in front of her. Through infusing her mana, she could sense how deep it is and even after more than a kilometer, there was nothing but rocks in front of her.

"This is the 5th one in the past few months," Samuel commented.

The two of them have been staying within the crack for more than half a year.

By this point, more than a year had passed ever since the first earthquake happened and the two of them didn't come out much.
