41: Feelings of Yuki

"Okay, there's still time for them to finish cultivating... I'll go outside and try to get used to my human form," Theo thought, a little excited.

He then left the [Dimensional Room] and headed toward the center of the village to train.

Getting there, Theo was already wearing a pair of sports shorts and a tank top, showing his well-developed muscles.

"Well, I'll first test without using my Mana." Theo thought.

Theo hit the ground firmly with his left foot, making a small swirl of wind from beneath him. Then he flexed his right arm back in attack position. "Haa!!" Using half his strength, Theo punched forward.

"Whoosh!"

A strong wind was caused by his punch, destroying everything in front of it. Many Goblins huts that once stood in the village, and trees that were in the way, were destroyed.

"Wow! It was stronger than I thought," Theo said, preparing to continue training to get used to his current powers and strength.

In the beginning, he practiced some punches and kicks and controlled his tails to form some normal attack combos, trying not to exert as much force because he could end up destroying the whole village if he continued using so much force. He left the practice with more force to when he outside the village, his current goal is to learn how to control his power.

At first, he lacked much control of his own strength and continued to destroy the terrain around him a little, but he gradually became used to his own body. He was even more surprised when he trained using his tails, for they followed any commands perfectly; it wasn't very different from controlling his own hands and feet.

"Well, I haven't used my tails a lot before to fight, but if I come across a large group surrounding me... they will be very helpful," thought Theo.

Theo murmured, "I'm going to talk to Yuki and Shina first before I make a decision, I also want to visit Jka in Ang Village." Thinking about back then, Theo returned to training to get used to its human form.

Theo continued to train, punching and kicking empty air cause strong winds, but this time, they weren't as strong as before. Gradually he managed to control his strength.

"Alright, I've got some control over my body and strength now, but I still have a lot to do! I also want to try buying some techniques that are best to use in my human form." Theo thought, "But I've been training for some time... I'm going to make lunch and then see if Yuki and Shina have finished cultivating."

Theo then used the ability <Clean> on his body to wipe the sweat off after training all this time. Then, he walked toward the great hall to prepare their lunch.

"Shina, Yuki!" Theo said after they had lunch.

"Yes?" Yuki and Shina both looked at Theo.

"Well, I'm thinking of visiting Jka and then going to the city where Shina lived." Theo asked, "What do you girls think?"

"That's okay with me," Yuki replied, because for her as long as she's with Theo, she doesn't care where they go to.

"Um... I would also like to visit your friend!" Shina said and asked, "Theo, is it okay if we pass by the orphanage where I grew up?"

Theo saw no problem in doing so. In fact, he already intended to go there anyway. "Yes, I don't see any problems!"

"Hey! Theo, you are the best!" Shina said hugging him, but then she was embarrassed by her actions and her face was completely red, as she felt a nice, masculine scent coming from Theo.

Soon Shina came out of her embarrassed and shy embrace. She lowered her head with her face and ears red, and said quietly, "I'm sorry to hug you out of nowhere, I was very happy..."

"I don't see problems!" Theo asked with a confused expression, "Haven't you hugged me many times before anyway?"

"Now it's different! Idiot!" Shina said while pouting and blushing even more than before.

"Did you say anything?" But she ended up saying so quietly, that Theo wasn't able to hear her.

"I didn't say anything!" Shina turned her still flushed face still and started to leave.

Yuki, who was closest to Shina, ended up hearing what she said. She just sighed at that and started to leave too, leaving Theo standing there in confusion.

"Ahhhh, why did I do that to Theo? Ahhh, I'm so embarrassed." Shina told Yuki after they left.

Although Yuki doesn't understand much about relationships, she could still understand a little of what Shina was feeling, because of one thing she was sure of... was that she knew that she loves Theo! Despite not understanding love very well, she also knew that one thing she wanted most in her life was to live forever with Theo, it was something she wanted with all her might.

And seeing Shina acting like this... she started to wonder if it was the same as her, maybe Shina started to like Theo too? Although Shina looked young, Yuki talked to her for a long time and knew that she was already 14 years old and would soon turn 15.

From the many times they talked, Yuki got curious about the city where Shina lived, so sometimes she asked Shina to talk a little about her and in one of the conversations, Shina talked about how some of the older children of the orphanage ended up falling for someone when they were between their 13 to 16 years of age and ended up marrying the other.

Listening to Shina talk about it, it only piqued Yuki's curiosity and she asked Shina a lot about the relationship between the men and a woman since Shina lived in the city and knew of some things that she talked to some boys who lived in the orphanage with her.

Hearing Shina's talk about these love stories, Yuki thought she had such feelings for Theo. In fact, Yuki has already tagged Theo as her mate, but this was instinctive and she knew he just wanted to be with him, but for her, the word 'Love' was unknown.

When Yuki heard Shina talk about love for the first time... it was as if something new invaded her heart and it beat faster when she thought of how much she loved Theo. For Yuki, it was a whole new feeling! A mixture of feelings of happiness, joy, affection, affection, love and the will to live forever by his side.

And the moment she remembered that not too long ago, when she still couldn't speak, Jka from the Ang Village asked Theo, "Hm, this is your mate?"

"Yes, she is!" Theo replied.

{Note: This happened in chapter 14}

As she recalled that moment... Yuki felt even happier than before on that day because of those words... despite being a few words, it left her full of happiness. For Yuki, that is a moment she intends to remember all her life!

And for her friend Shina to act like this... Yuki started to think that maybe Shina also started to love Theo.

Yuki looked earnestly at Shina and said slowly and softly, "Shina... could it be... that you fell in love with Theo?"
