Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

210 Chapter 210- Plans for A Happy Future

Leislet reached the kitchen where she found Acht cooking breakfast. His hand moved skillfully as he cut vegetables and fruits with the knife.

His skills with the knife were simply impeccable. It was understandable considering that he had used knives and other sharp objects for the better part of his life.

Leislet stood silently watching him work without saying anything. There was some weird charm about him doing such a simple task that anyone could pull off.

He had such an air of maturity around him that could pull in anyone with just one glance.

'Sigh, how is he this naturally charming? That little bastard!' She thought to herself with a complicated gaze.

Her idea of children had changed because of the boy in front of her. She always thought that children couldn't just reach a level of maturity that rivals that of old people no matter what they experience.

There was just a barrier that couldn't be passed and that comes with age and long years.

But, Acht simply broke that rule easily. He was so impeccable in every department that she sometimes questioned if he is a human or not.

'I have had this suspicion for a while but I can't find a way to ask him. Sigh, maybe I will try asking him when I find the perfect time.' She thought.

"You really know how to cook, Acht. You will become a great husband for sure." Leislet spoke up as she sat down and rested her head on her arms as she watched him with a soft look.

'My husband that is.' She added in her head.

"I don't like the way you phrased that." He replied as he pulled two plates before putting whatever he cooked on them and then putting them on the table.

"Wow. This looks amazing." She honestly complimented him.

It was an omelet with vegetables, a fruit salad, and two cups of warm coffee.

A good breakfast for free days and since Acht had plenty of free days to come, he wanted to try new recipes as a change of rhythm.

"Bon appétit." He said as he sat down.

"Hm? What does that mean?" She asked as she tilted her head.

Acht just shook his head and ate silently.

Leislet also didn't push the matter any further and instead changed the topic.

"So, do you have any plans for your stay here? You aren't going to spend the whole time just doing nothing, are you?"

Acht nodded his head in approval.

"I do, actually. I have had this idea in my mind for a while now. I want to build a small library here and maybe do some hunting from time to time. There are plenty of animals here so it should be something fun to pass time doing." He replied.

"a library, huh? That sounds like a good idea. I will help you with it. As for hunting, do you even have an idea about the terrain around this village or even the animals that live here?"

"No, no idea. That's why I was going to take a stroll around the place. But, someone interrupted my plans…Uninvited." He said as he glared at Leislet softly.

Leislet scratched the back of her head as she laughed sheepishly.

"Ok, how about we go together? I also want to see what this region could deliver. We might even have a picnic."

"A picnic?"

"Yes, a romantic picnic. We sit under a tree and we just eat and talk, we could also enjoy the breeze of air that comes from time to time. Oh! That sounds like the best idea anyone could come up with." She said almost jumping from her chair in excitement.

"No."

"Why?!" Leislet almost spat out her food.

"I know you will pull off your usual weird tricks. Also, I am not going out of the village for a picnic, at least not this time. maybe next time we will do that."

"Horrible!! You are horrible!!" Leislet shouted in protest.

"Keep shouting and there will be no food for you."

"Ok…Sorry."

"Good girl."

The two then finished their plates and got ready to go out.

When they quit the place, Acht asked.

"Do these people even know you?"

"May of course. I had come here before and I loved the village. I didn't stay for long though so I couldn't experience everything this place could provide."

"Yaaah!!"

However, as they were talking, a loud yell made their faces tense up. Then, they located the place where this shout came from and they ran there.

When they reached the place, they found a group of village people surrounding someone.

"My son! My son is dying!!" A woman cried as she touched the face of the unconscious man laying on the ground motionless.

Acht and Leislet walked to the group and made their way past them straight to the middle.

"Mrs. Leislet. Please help my son! He is dying! He got poisoned by a monster! Please!" The woman begged the moment she saw Leislet.

The latter nodded her head and bent down to check on the man.

She checked his pulse and his breathing. Luckily, he was still alive so she immediately grabbed his arm where she saw the poison.

"The poison still didn't start spreading." Acht also bent down and took a look with his sharp eyes.

"Leislet, can you make him drink a potion, I will deal with the poison." He said with a serious look.

The two then started working, Acht put his mouth over the place of the injury but didn't start sucking like a normal person. He just used gravity to extract the poison efficiently, without leaving a single trace of it.

He made that gesture with his mouth so that people don't start having suspicions.

The process went smoothly and Acht gulped up a huge amount of poison. Then, he spat it down, showing a weird purple-colored liquid.

He wasn't going to get harmed by such a weak poison. His body could nullify it in a matter of seconds.

Meanwhile, Leislet just made the man drink a potion. He was still half-conscious so he drank it easily.

In a matter of moments, his deathly pale complexion relaxed and he fell asleep comfortably.

"Ok, he is safe now. But he needs to rest for a few days." Leislet said as she stood up.

The village people looked at the two with a surprised gaze and then started clapping.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!! I can't think of anything to repay both of you!" The woman said as she shook Leislet's hand as strong as she could. Her teary eyes didn't stop crying.

Leislet smiled warmly and replied.

"It's not that big of a deal. He did all the work." Leislet said.

"Oh yes! Thank you so much, boy. You have truly saved my son's life. How did you do that?" She asked.

Acht smiled casually and replied.

"I learned a thing or two from her."

His mysterious reply made the attention turn back to Leislet who merely smiled while giving Acht side glances from time to time. She was surprised how he was able to avert attention so easily and swiftly. It was something he didn't always have.

'You little bastard.'
