“Are you calling me a slut? Get the hell out of my face…”
“You know I did not say that and you don’t mean it”
“Yes, I do”
“Jill, calm down, I know you feel hurt and ashamed for being rejected,” I tried to console Jill as she began to lash out at being rejected by me. Why? Because without her I would have to find a new way to monetize the new version of Vein Detection array/card recipe once I have modified the current version of the vein detection array/card recipe.
“But?” Jill looked at me hoping that there was more to my words, something that would help her coup with the pain from the rejection.
“There is no but, if I knew how to magically make the pain of rejection or break up go away, I would be insanely rich even if I sold it to everyone who needed it for a cent,” saying that I looked in to Jill’s wet eyes and said, “All I am trying to say is that this does not have to be the end of the friendship between us.”
“Better yet I could hold a grudge and try to ruin your life, this would make a perfect origin story for the enmity between us,” Jill said with an indifferent face, making it impossible for me to tell whether she was kidding or for real.
“Please tell me you are kidding,” I begged Jill.
“When the time comes you will know,” Jill answered mysteriously and then headed into the woods, leaving me worrying for the reminder of my time in this dungeon.
I hurriedly followed behind Jill and asked, “Jill, how long do you plan to continue stealing the soul energy from the dungeon relocation experiment of Luna for the phantom wood plantation.”
I asked this because this had to stop at some point for Luna to complete the dungeon relocation of the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon. This way the southern watch stationed at the sky blossom city can finally relocate the dungeon to the secure region and I can leave for the southern royal palace to complete Luna’s order.
“If you want to leave, then leave, I will arrange a golem to take you out of the dungeon,” Jill answered impatiently.
“I thought all the golems were busy,” I reminded Jill of what she told me earlier.
Jill stopped on her tracks, turned to glare at me and grudgingly said, “Well, guess what one just got free.”
I did not take Jill’s attitude seriously because as the person who rejected her I had to take it without complaining if I still wanted to continue being her friend with her. As part of my new initiative of growing less dependent on Anna and the southern royal family I had decided to branch out by being more open minded and tolerating. My friendship with Agatha was the best example of this.
“For your information, I wasn’t asking because I want to leave, instead I want to know how long before Luna grew suspicious that something is amiss with her dungeon relocation experiment,” I said, trying to clear the misunderstanding Jill had.
“Oh, but what do you mean by ‘For Your Information’? As if I care if you stay or leave. For your information, I don’t care,” Jill clearly was not done venting and it appeared she would not be done anytime soon.
“So how long?”
“How long, what?”
“When will you end your side business,” I said pointing at the phantom sword wood surrounding us.
“When I feel like it,”
“And when would that be?”
“What is it to you? Didn’t I already say you can leave whenever you wanted to,” Jill returned to her closed self that I saw during our first meeting.
“Hey, come on, Jill, you are making it harder for me to be your friend,” I know I could just leave just as Jill suggested but something in me would not let me do that, and I prayed it was my greed for money and not something else.
“Good, my father said that a boy and a girl could never be friends,” Jill’s father sounds like he has broken his share of hearts back in his youth.
Hearing Jill say that I raised one of my eyebrows and asked her, “Jill, are you saying that either I am your lover or a nobody?”
“No you idiot, don’t you get it, I am saying that I will make you mine,” Jill yelled out of nowhere.
“Okay, now you can get me that golem, I want out of this dungeon,” learning that Jill was still gunning for a relationship even after I shot her down, I knew screw money, I need to get out of here. Why do I keep crossing paths with crazy Chicks? Susan, I miss your sweet smile.
“Sorry, I can’t, all of them are busy helping with my research or the plantation,” Jill lied
“You just said you had golem free to take out of the dungeon”
“I did but when you said no, I assigned it a task,” Jill spoke as if all this was my fault.
p AndD nOve1.cO,m “Your doing this on purpose aren’t you,”
“What gave me away?”
“Well, will you atleast tell me when you will stop stealing from the dungeon relocation experiment,” I did not plan to leave without knowing the answer to this anyway.
“I have already collected the data I could get So we can stop after the new batch of phantom sword wood planted by the golems is mature enough to harvest. We can leave after all the phantom sword wood stock is turned into a card ingredient,” It seems after declaring that she would not stop pursuing her feelings for the boy to him Jill was in a better mood than before. And answered the boy without making things difficult for him.
“Great,” I exclaimed knowing that Luna could finally complete the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon relocation.
