Chapter 83: A Small Break
After almost what felt like an entire day, it seemed Able and I was able to piece together the puzzle and also figure out which blocks should be moved next. We even made a list of which blocks to move so we did not accidentally move the wrong ones. I knew one thing was for sure, this time around that I was going to need to use area of effect attacks even if I did not want to. I could only pray that I did not harm the others. I estimated that the number of enemies we would end up fighting would be enough to fill this room ten times over. Unless there was a cap on the number of enemies that could spawn. I could only hope it was the latter.
After finalizing our plan we decided to catch some sleep. The only good thing about this room was that it was safe from monsters meaning we could all get some decent sleep for once

"Should we wake her?" Marsil asked.
"No let her sleep, she has really worked hard today." Able replied. As he looked down at the girl who had decided to use his body as a bed. Rei had gone from leaning against his shoulder to crawling on top of his body and curling up into his embrace. Normally he would have woken her up so she did not get the wrong ideas but seeing her sleeping so soundly, he just could not bring himself to do it.
"Her trust in you is amazing. I hope you never break that trust she has for you." Marsil said as she leaned back against the wall.
"There is no way I would ever break her trust. In a short time, Rei has become my world. Whatever she wants to accomplish in this life I will help her as long as she wants my help." Able answered as he gently tucked a few strands of Rei's hair behind her ear.
"What if she says she has fallen in love with another man?" Marsil asked her eyebrow raised as she wondered how Able would answer.
"Although I would be hurt, if that is Rei's happiness then I would stand aside and protect her from afar. It would be hard to watch such a thing but if it is for her then it is fine." Able said as a bitter smile formed on his face. This was one future outcome he really hoped never happened.
"You really do love her huh?" Marsil said with a smile. She had to give it to Able. He may be young but he was true to the one he loved.
Able's cheeks showed a slight blush as he gently smiled as he looked at the girl in his embrace and nodded his head. "I guess you could say that."

I woke up feeling slightly groggy when a familiar scent filled my nose. I looked up to see an all too familiar face in front of me sound asleep. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on when I realized I was actually laying on top of Able! My entire face instantly flushed as I slowly got up, doing my best to not wake Able up. I could only hope that he was asleep when I shifted my body. I knew Able was not the one who put me in such a position because I did have a habit of moving a lot in my sleep. But nonetheless, this was still a very embarrassing situation! As I slowly stood up I was startled when I heard a sound from behind me.
"It's no use trying to be sneaky, you had long been laying like that before Able went to bed." A teasing voice spoke from behind me.
I turned to see Marsil giggling away causing my brain to basically explode! How was I supposed to face Able when he woke!? Marsil walked over to me and patted the top of my head as she whispered into my ear: "Able is a good man. You should hold on to him no matter what."
I turned my head and looked at Marsil before nodding my head. I knew how good Able was. I have known from the beginning before even meeting him in this life. Able was someone who was devoted to the one he loved. There would be no way for me to be swayed by others. I couldn't think of being with anyone else.
I had already decided that if I were to die before I got to save again I would play things out the same exact way. Even if it meant exposing my body to Able again. I would do it in order to be with him. I wonder if this makes me one of those slutty girls that I have always hated? I wondered if this made me a scheming bitch.
The first time was truly an accident but if I let the same actions play out knowing he would walk in on me while I was getting changed, would I not be what I hated most? I shook those thoughts right out of my head. I could see nothing wrong with allowing events that had already happened happen yet again. It was a destined event that brought Able and I together. For the person I like, the one who was allowing me to slowly understand what love truly was, I did not mind reliving it all again.
"As long as he allows it I will stay by his side." There really was no need to think about it. Able is who I wished to be with. All those other useless thoughts I just had were not needed. Just following my heart was enough.
