BXBX NOVEL Chapter 375 Family
Chapter 375 Family
"Now, I wonder how Fire Phoenix managed to ignore all those epidemics in the past." said Jayna.
"Well, at least you are now far away from the frontline and war. Who knows what crazy thing you would do if you got influenced by it." said Angus while patting Jayna\'s head.
"Yeah, you are right. I will probably lose my mind and start burning everyone." replied Jayna while enjoying Angus\'s pat.
Angus knows that since they come to this town, Jayna is always on edge. He feels she is currently like a volcano that could erupt anytime. It is already great that she could hold herself not to burn anything whenever a minor conflict happened.
Although Angus always teaches and instructs her to always control her emotion, he knows the Fire Phoenix merging process has greatly influenced her.
Among the other elements, a Fire elemental is one of the most volatile elements. The degree of controlling fire elemental is almost the same as trying to control lightning elemental.
If the lightning elemental is hard to control because of its monstrous speed nature, the fire elemental is hard to contain since it could always burn and erupt at any time.
Angus even finds some references that it is impossible to absolutely control the fire elemental while it is still possible to control the lightning elemental absolutely. However, up to this day, no one has absolute control over any kind of element.
Based on this premise, Angus knows that a fire-born beast like Fire Phoenix also will have this kind of volatile characteristic.
The previous Fire Phoenix may say the merger will not change Jayna\'s personality. But, it still didn\'t mean it would never influence her to become more irritated towards the surrounding negative emotion.
Angus also knows that in the first place, Jayna is also not a calm-minded person. Instead, he always knows that his beloved blonde girlfriend is quite a fiery-tempered one.
If Angus didn\'t teach her self-control all the years back, she might try to pick a fight here and there every once in a while.
After calming Jayna, Angus reluctantly separates from her and begins to work. He takes a few scribing tools and a high-grade mana core. Then, he started to scribe a rune on the ground. In the meantime, Anna is looking at the corpse at the crater\'s edge while humming an unknown song.
Contrary to Jayna, who is over the edge, Anna finds herself comfortable since coming to this place. Of course, Angus and Jayna already realize this, but they didn\'t think much of it. Monster people may be rare, but the royal library still has some archives and records about them.
After returning from the Endless Battlefield dimension, Angus also researched monster people and their characteristics. As its name suggests, the monster people are a people that sought destruction like the monsters.
Among the data and records, Angus finds that most monster people always create mass killings. All their acts always involve a massive amount of killing, which Angus finds weird.
According to the rumor and legend, monster people should hate mana civilization like other mindless monsters. However, he finds in the record that almost all of the monster people are very smart and good planners.
If their real purpose is to destroy civilization, they don\'t need to create massive killings to destroy it. Yet all their acts and plans always end up towards massive killing, which sometimes is useless and only attracts the attention of the other high-grade combatant.
Because of this, Angus concludes that they made the massive killing not because they planned it but because they needed to do the massive killing act. All the monster people may be smart, but they are also completely different from others.
However, after observing Anna\'s behavior since coming to this quarantine zone, he notices she never creates trouble and enjoys their walk like sightseeing. For all sane people, this kind of behavior is nothing but insane or psychotic.
There is no way any normal person could enjoy looking at the dreadful scene of the half-death patient. If it is Angus, who is from his past, he will immediately label the person insane and doesn\'t want anything to do with them.
However, Anna is not the only weird one in his circle. There is also his beloved girlfriend, that is quite different from the ordinary people after merging with Fire Phoenix. The thing that influenced Jayna is not her personality but her worldview.
Subconsciously, Jayna always looked down on everyone as she prided herself as Fire Phoenix. Angus thought Anna\'s case was similar to that or worse.
He knows that Anna never takes serious matters about others\' lives since she always labels the others as bubbles and only gives others another strange nickname to the one she couldn\'t beat. The only people that she could call by name are only Angus and Jayna.
Although this is a simple matter, it also shows that Anna never thought about the others. Angus knew it didn\'t mean that she didn\'t realize the importance of life but because she understood the profoundness of life deeply.
As someone who also took countless lives in the past and experienced a lot of hardship, Angus knows a bit of the mysterious meaning of life. There is no way a smart girl like Anna, who already experienced the cruelest way of life, didn\'t understand the importance of life.
Therefore, in the end, Angus and Jayna could only accept this as her attic. They may not show it and express it verbally, but Angus and Jayna genuinely love the little troublemaker, especially after they start bonding with each other.
After the day Angus and Jayna have their first time, they are not the only ones that change. Anna has also changed, it may be subtle, but they can still see her becoming more docile and likes to stay with them a lot.
Still, Angus, who always used [Analyze] passively, could see this fact. He decided to let it be since he also couldn\'t find any falseness and malicious intent from her. On the contrary, Angus finds Anna does it because she is starting to love them more.
After scribing the few runes on the ground, Angus found the Royal Guard still not done retrieving all the corpses he marked and approached Anna.
"Anna, you seem happy." said Angus.
"Yeah.. I like this place. It is very refreshing and comfortable. Moreover, Angus and Big sis Jayna are accompanying me." replied Anna happily.
"Hee.. Did you want to stay in this place?" asked Angus.
"Hmm.. Is Angus and Big sis going to stay in this place?" asked Anna while tilting her head.
"Nope, of course not." replied Angus.
"Then I don\'t want to stay in this place. I want always to be Angus and big sis Jayna." said Anna.
"I see… Why do you always want to stay with us? Anna, you are a smart girl and already know many things, unlike when I first found you. If you want, you could go away from us and maybe create a more comfortable place than this one." said Angus seriously.
Hearing this, Anna looks at Angus silently before looking down.
"Does Angus want to abandon me?" asked Anna in a low voice.
Angus is surprised at Anna\'s sudden question and immediately pats her head.
"Silly girl, even if you somehow made a bigger place than this one, I will never abandon you, but I probably will still kill you. Still, I will never abandon you, as I already vow to care for you." said Angus.
Hearing this, Anna begins to tear up and hug Angus, which he accepts. Jayna, who hears their conversation, also joins their hug while trying to calm the crying Anna. At this moment, Angus and Jayna know why Anna wants to keep staying with them.
They may not know about Anna\'s past. But, they know Anna is longing for a family. With Angus and Jayna being together, she feels that her family is whole. For her, Angus is the important person that saves her life, while Jayna is the first woman who shows her motherly love.
Both of them are very important people to Anna. This is also the reason why Anna only hears and accepts their words. To her, they are her father and mother figure despite their young age.
"Haa.. I never thought at this age I already have a big child." sighed Angus.
"Well, isn\'t it good? I hear taking care of children at an early age is very troublesome." said Jayna.
"Yeah, just thinking there will be a lot of children like Anna is already making my head hurt." said Angus.
"Hmph.. Rude Angus. There is only one Anna." said Anna while pouting under their hug.
"Hahaha.. Yeah.. Yeah… If there is more of Anna, this world is truly doomed." said Angus.
"Of course. Anna is one and only in the world." replied Anna proudly.
Hearing Anna\'s reply, the young couple could only chuckle while smiling.
"Anna." called Jayna
"Hmm?" replied Anna while looking at Jayna.
"When you get older, what do you want to do?" asked Jayna.
"Emm… Can I not just be with Angus and Big sis?" asked Anna back.
"Puft.. Hahaha… Of course, you could. You could always stay with us as long as you want." said Angus.
