Chapter 33: Another Awakening
Why the hell am I running?
I think while heading towards the hideout. Is it because of anxiety? Or do I just want to delay her reply?
Why do I always have to be such a nervous wreck? Why can't I be more confident?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?...Why?
At that moment I felt a certain switch in my mind flip because of my unstable emotions.
[Synchronization= 50%]
And I reach the hideout of the poachers.
They detect me as soon as I land because I am not using Presence Concealment. Honestly if I needed that skill for such trash, I might as well stop climbing the Tower.
Time to let off some steam.
"Lo-Lord Ra-ranker why are you h-here?" One of them says mistaking me for a Ranker. Well power wise they aren't wrong so I don't correct them.
"Dead people don't need to know." I say while starting the slaughter in the hideout while taking my time doing it.
Ah that hits the spot. Slaughtering people never felt better.
Shishou arrived just when I was about to finish it all. I just told her where the remaining ones were with a smile on my face. I am no longer worried about her reply.
She soundlessly goes there and finishes them off.
Why am I no longer worried? Well if she replies in a positive manner then all is good. But in case she rejects me, I just need to make her have feelings for me later.
I can't believe I missed such an obvious thing, silly me. I am obviously not going to let her get away.
"Are you feeling okay Amar?" Shishou says after coming back from finishing the stragglers. But that sentence itself spoke much more and I know the reply to my confession now.
"Yes I am feeling fine, never felt better." I reply with a smile on my face. She seems a bit put off by it. Oops I suppose.
"Are you really fine?" She asks again. This time I just nod. "So about the thing we were talking about before you ran away."
I grimace a bit at that remark, honestly that wasn't a good move at all.
"What about it?" I ask with a calm expression on my face like I have reached some sort of enlightenment, which in truth I have. I have actually started comprehending a law, only 2% at the moment. But I actually didn't think I would comprehend this law at all before I did.
"What kind of feelings were you talking about?" She asks me leaving me stunned. Is she really being serious? Is she really dense? Or does she want to confirm my feelings and is testing me? It's most likely the latter.
"The kind of feelings that a man has when he loves a woman." Finally! I am living upto my reputation as a gigachad fanfic protagonist. Those laws really come with a confidence boost in these matters.

Shishou seems a bit surprised by my calm response. Heh, the previous me might have acted a bit flustered while saying this. But I have comprehended the truth and me acting flustered wouldn't get me the response I want.
"I can't say that I love you or anything like that since I haven't loved anyone, so I don't know the feeling." I can't say I didn't expect that to certain extent but let's play along to get the answer that I want.
"You don't?" I ask with a fake surprise expression. Now if we were in Nasuverse she would have been able to tell that I am faking it but here not so much, especially when some laws are helping me.
"Yes I don't. But I do feel this desire to keep you all to myself ever since we first sparred. Hence I offered to become your teacher. My real desire was for us to be comrades and rivals that are always together rather than student and teacher. I don't know if these feelings are originating from something like love or something else but we can try that kind of relationship if you are okay with it." She replies.
This was too easy. Where's the punchline?
Even if those feelings originated from something else, they will originate from love in the future. I will make sure of it.
"Okay." I just answer with a simple okay. "Let's go back."
She nods at this and we start heading towards the place they provide lodging for Regulars on the 11th Floor in the Inner Tower. Honestly I can't wait for 20th Floor to enter the Middle Area of the Tower, my climb will be much more easy then, probably.
We reach the lodging and then enter it, and act like we always do like nothing has changed. And start living "normally" as we do since you can't force something like love. At least that is what my law comprehension says about it, even if it is not the Law of Love.
"Amar let's go take a bath, to wash off the blood." She tells me.
"Sure Scathach." I just agree to her even if we don't need to do that to wash off blood. Who am I to refuse such an appealing invitation? Only an idiot would refuse something like this. Like those japanese protagonists. Though I am sure Rimuru probably wouldn't, that bastard! I guess that's part of the reason we are friends.
We enter the bath and help each other during washing a bit more intimately. The details of the action have been omitted. All I can say is that there were no moans involved, at least of "that" kind if you know what I mean.
And after a long comfortable bath in each other's arms, because that's "normal" here apparently. We sleep on the same bed naked, but I wear my pants in the end so that I don't unintentionally do something without consent.
Honestly I don't know what I was worrying about when I ran away when this is "normal" here.

Idk what I was smoking when I wrote this chapter, but it sure was good stuff.
Can you guess which law he comprehended after his mental breakdown? I feel that the breakdown was a bit forced but it can happen especially when his Synchronization with Wrath is so high.
Next chapter will have some real plot progression, so look forward to it.
Honestly sometimes I feel that the fanfic would have been better if I didn't add romance in it, since I struggle a lot when writing it.
