Chapter 179 - The Kiss
Emilia could only stare down on the monkey trying to avoid Ban's gaze. She was very nervous at this moment but the deed had already been done, there's no going back now.
Ban's heart was beating like crazy. He didn't know what kind of feeling he was experiencing right now. He could not understand it. It was foreign to someone like him.
However, he knew that it was definitely a good thing.
Meanwhile, Eva was also startled by Emilia's action. However, unlike what she did to Joana, she only stared at Emilia's face before closing her eyes again.
It's not that she already accepted her. It was mainly because she did not feel any 'slutty' vibes just like what she felt from Joana.
Eva was fine as long as she did not hinder their progress.
Eva patted Ban's head as if telling him that it's alright.
A smile suddenly blossomed on Ban's face as he said, "You're welcome!"
His heart was still beating quite fast.
At this moment, his hand suddenly grew bolder as it extended to reach Emilia's hand which was fiddling the bandages.
The moment his hand touched hers, as if they were being electrocuted, both of their hands suddenly trembled. However, none of them retracted it and their hands even clasped each other even tighter.
Emilia was also taken aback by his bold action. She looked up and noticed him still staring at her.
Her heart beats even faster after looking at his cute face. The feelings she encountered the first time she saw Ban from years ago suddenly resurfaced as a smile blossomed on her now red face.
Ban also smiled in response and jokingly said, "You might end up unwrapping the bandages…"
The two of them stared at each other for a moment before they burst out laughing.
For the entire journey home, the two of them no longer talked. However, their hands were still intertwined in each other and they just wanted to bask in this feeling until they arrived home.
In the end, they only let go of each other's hand reluctantly when they already arrived in front of the Kuys Bar.
They smiled at each other again before they disembarked the carriage with Emilia carrying the resting Server Monkey like a baby.
Ban paid the carriage driver first before he and Emilia entered the Kuys Bar.
The moment they entered, all eyes were immediately drawn to them like a magnet.
The customers noticed the blood on their body as well as the wrapped monster in Emilia's hand.
Immediately, the caring customers, or more precisely, their fans, hurriedly bombarded them with questions just like if they were okay.
The two of them only nodded their heads in response to their question as they slowly walked in front of Kuys' table.
There was a frown in Kuys face and it was apparent that he was in a bad mood.
The customers, upon seeing that, hurriedly dispersed away from Ban and Emilia. They returned to their previous spot as if nothing had happened.
However, some of them, especially the more wealthy ones as well as those who have rich connections have already ordered an investigation regarding the matter.
Only one thing was present in their mind right now, 'To seek revenge for their idol!'
"What exactly happened?" Kuys ask in an irritated tone.
Seeing that Kuys was in a bad mood, Ban hurriedly explained to him what had happened, albeit in a low voice as he was afraid that a Dark Guild member might be eavesdropping on them at the moment.
Ban recounted what has happened including the event where the two of them went on a mini date and then to the part where they were obstructed by them. And then when Emilia recognized them as Dark Guild members, the battle as well as how it ended.
Of course, Ban omitted some information that he only knew such as the existence of the System as well as the fact that he actually met Brok earlier today.
He also did not tell what happened inside the carriage. From what he knew so far, Kuys' was actually trying to 'ship' him and Emilia.
He learned that new double meaning word from one of the books he reads.
"Don't worry, grandpa Kuys, aside from her Monster summon, no one was hurt."
Hearing that, Kuys doesn't know how to feel. He just wanted them to have a good time with each other, and preferably develop some feelings while they're at it. He did not expect things to go this way.
He looked at Emilia and said apologetically in his heart, 'I'm sorry Emi, it looks like my plan actually backfired!'
Kuys waved a bottle containing a yellow liquid suddenly materialized on his hands.
"Here,smear this on the wound of your Summon. It's a potion that allows fast recovery of wounds and also some poison repelling properties."
"You two did a good job on that battle, especially you Ban. I did not expect that you're already this strong, and to think that you're only an X-Mortal at the moment. It looks like I would not need to worry about you during the Beast Tide."
Hearing that, Ban thought that it was the right opportunity for him to reveal that he was already an F-Apprentice Rank summoner.
"Actually grandpa Kuys, I'm already an F-Apprentice Rank!"
"Yeah I know. You said it earlier that your summon is already an F-Apprentice- wait what did you just say?"
"That I'm already an F-Apprentice Rank?"
Kuys was immediately taken aback by what he heard. Even Emilia was also stunned after hearing that.
It hasn't been a week since he awakened, and yet he was somehow at the F-Apprentice Already?
Kuys was not convinced yet. He took Ban's hand and closed his eyes to check his body or more precisely his rank.
And to his surprise, Ban was really at the F-Apprentice Rank already. And considering the 'energy' inside him, it also won't take long for him to reach the next rank.
'What kind of talent is this? I knew he was talented but I didn't expect it to be to this extent. Ban, what kind of place did you really come from?'
'My friend, you actually left this talented monster here? You'll definitely regret it, hahaha.'
