Bab 39: Arc 2: 2.15
(A/N: You know what, it is nearly the examination date for the author again. And my hobby is to update at least a chapter before every exam week coming. I haven't update for too long, and I know. I'm so sorry for taking this long to update. I have failed another subject again. Sigh! No, probably two subjects and the retake cost over one thousand. I feel like dying. I feel bad but it's just too stressful for me. Sometimes, I regret taking this major. But, this major and this school reputation can at least help me get a proper job and earn a sufficient salary. That's why no matter what I need to graduate and get this damn certificate of BA. Now I vented my frustration. HAHA!
Anyway, enjoy the chapter!)
RECAP
So, the fire had already ignited, it would take a few hours to extinguish it. In the end, Nineteen fainted right after the fourth round. He was half awake when he heard a low voice told him to sleep and something at the end of that sentence that he couldn't hear as he immediately fell asleep without caring about what the man said.
But one thing he could clearly remember was, he finally knew his man's name after all this time since they were married.
'One'
Nineteen silently repeated this name in his heart while he fell asleep.
-------------------
The Day After Valentine's Day
Today was very lively and bustling as yesterday. They all got excited and the gift that they received from the Empress and Nether God was beyond Hell. Thus, they were still in a festival vibe this time around.
Nineteen wake up at his usual time, put on his duty suit, and started his daily routine as the Nether Empress. It took him around two or three hours for a round trip of inspection every department available in the Netherworld.
When he went back to Nether Palace, it was nearly lunchtime but as he was a dead spirit, he did not need to eat. So, Nineteen returned to the Nether Emperor's study and workplace to enjoy his afternoon, appreciating a good-looking man while he was working.
Nineteen got nothing to do but leisured around on the sofa as he was thinking about what to do next. They had celebrated Valentine's day, so another two months would be Labor day.
He suddenly thought of the happiness and the overwhelming feeling when he received a million gratitude from those dead spirits. He felt extremely responsible and the way they looked up to him was so satisfying.
He couldn't help but think of the smiling of the children which filled with positive energy and warmth. He wanted to do for them as their sin could be whitewashed through the suffering in this enough was enough to erase it.
So, when they were born again, they would have a new life with a new beginning and a long way to go. It pleased him both emotionally and mentally. He thought of the event during his last year of junior high school, or in another word in grade 9.
He once helped a woman, or he could possibly say a young woman. He assumed that woman was not that old, to begin with as she looked like around 18 or something.
At that time, he was riding a bicycle from school to home around 10 am. Usually, he wouldn't have ridden on the street which was the shortcut path and deserted area of the whole village, and the resident in that particular area wasn't as popular as the time before his sudden death.
There were only a few houses located on the site and one of the corners was his uncle's house from his mother's side. Thus, the situation was like this.
He was riding a bicycle on that particular street; he also saw that woman sitting on the ground while holding her knee. She wore decent clothes and her hair was not particularly mess up or something.
Then she suddenly called out to him who was riding to her let him borrow his phone to call someone she knew. She stated that someone just left her there and she was panic and didn't know what to do.
At first, he was a little suspicious, but eventually, he pulled out my outdated phone. Then he remembered that my phone had no balance.
After a while, he recalled that his sister's house was nearby, which was where she was dumped here without any reason as I didn't ask her much.
I had her waited for me as he went to tell his sister, who was his cousin, and her house was the uncle's house from his mother's side.
Afterward, he didn't participate in the event anymore as his uncle and his sister urged him to go home, they would take it from here.
He was no longer needed, so he just went home and told his family about his. And what he got.
He got SCOLDED!
They said he was careless about strangers. What if she got a malicious intention toward him? How could he give his phone to a stranger? and etc. Another thing that he overheard was they said he was soft-hearted. Then his thought at that time was 'really?'.
However, at the end of the day, he also played the part in the rescue and helped her out. So, he felt quite novel of this particular feeling of helping another person as he was only 15 years old in grade 9.
And now this similar feeling again came from the dead spirits. It felt quite good for Nineteen, so he wouldn't bother about this anymore.
At this time, the busy Nether Emperor silently closed the task book, lifted his head, and happened to see his Empress who was staring in a daze toward the window. He amusedly chuckled at the sight of his Empress's silly expression.
The Nether Emperor got up from his chair, walked toward Nineteen. He slowly reached out from behind Nineteen's back. He circled his arm around Nineteen's exposed neck and planted a gentle kiss on his's ear.
Nineteen jolted awake from his daydream, he turned his head as he wanted to take a look at the handsome face. Instantly, he was welcomed by a deep French kiss.
The Nether Emperor explored every nook and crook of Nineteen's sweet little mouth, which led Nineteen's breath to shorten. The kiss lasted quite a while before the Nether Emperor let go because he saw his Empress was panting hard from a kiss.
"How come you're still not using to it?" A low masculine voice spoke softly to his ear with a helpless and amused tone.
"It can't be helped!", Nineteen murmured from his panting breath.
The Nether Emperor let go of his hold and changed his position. He walked to the front and sat down on the same. He picked up Nineteen and let him sat on his lap with Nineteen facing him.
"You didn't happen to forgot that in 2 weeks, we have to go to the tournament meeting, right?", He was smiling as he saw the confused expression on his Empress.
"Ah!", was all Nineteen could answer.
He did actually forget about that meeting completely because he was busy enjoying the feeling of the festival and its vibe.
"Can you tell me about other Nether Emperor?"
"Well…"
The Nether Emperor's expression turned grim immediately after Nineteen asked him.
'Eh!'
What happened? Did something or someone bothered him or he had a conflict with one of those Nether Emperors from another realm? Why the Nether Emperor stayed silent?
