Chapter 244: Spirit Energy

Kenji devoured its meal in a few mouthfuls and stood still in place. Its small, watchful red eyes remained focused on the door as the little dragon realized its tamer was in a trance-like state. 

Yoichi's mind's eye saw hundreds of images scroll by quickly. No matter how hard the young warrior tried to stay focused on his next task, Shioko's face kept returning to the surface, burying his other thoughts. 

Their kiss and the sweet words he'd exchanged with the archer before leaving Goldhaven had hit him deeply. Yoichi had no memories of his previous life, but deep inside, he knew he had never had such a strong bond with someone. 

He did not question his memory and had no interest in knowing if a woman had ever entered his life in that way. The sensations he felt during those endless moments spent in Shioko's company were unforgettable.
