Chapter 260 - 259 - I Feel Guilty.

Noah left the inn and then entered a dark alley. There, there was nothing but trash and a few crickets making noise.

'Okay, you can do that.'

[ Are you sure? When I teleport you a very blinding glow will be created, it might draw a lot of attention. ]

'It doesn't matter. Either way by the time they get here I'll be gone.'

[ All right, get ready ]

'Wait, wait.'

[ What? ]

'Before you do that, I want to know where you're going to teleport me to.'

[ I was going to put you back in the bathroom. ]

'No! Are you crazy? What if I get there and someone is using the bathroom?'

[ Don't worry, I can see if there's anyone there. At the moment there is no one in the bathroom, and the people who are in your house are all in the living room. ]

'Are you sure?'

[ Of course, I'm the goddess who runs this world, don't you think I know what's going on in your house? ]

'Well, sometimes you're so useless that...'

[ Just be quiet and go home. ]

Saying this, Noah's body began to glow in the middle of the alley, drawing the attention of some people walking down the street. But when the curious people approached the alley, they found no one.

No one had seen Noah other than Isabell who was standing on top of the building watching Noah.

'I hope to see you again soon. And thanks for helping me.' She smiled and then started jumping around the buildings again.

####

By the time Noah realized it, he was already inside the bathroom of his house.

He looked around and there was no one there, the only problem was that the door was open. Then the glow that was created when he appeared inside the bathroom was seen by everyone in the living room.

The glow was very strong, so everyone was a little scared thinking it was magic.

"Everybody stand back." Then the only person who approach was Emma.

She grabbed her sword and ran towards the bathroom.

And when she got there, she found Noah paralyzed. He was standing still as he stared at the bathroom door without knowing how to react.

'Damn...' He thought as he saw his mother staring at him while holding her sword.

Noah was wondering if he should throw himself on the floor to apologize, but before he could do that, Emma dropped her sword on the floor and tears appeared on her face.

"It's you, it's you." She said in a trembling voice as she looked at Noah.

"Yes, it's me," Noah said a little clumsily.

"It is you." His mother said again as she took a step forward.

A little worried about what his mother would do, Noah closed his eyes for a moment.

But right after doing so, he felt Emma's arms tighten around his body.

"Thanks, goddess." As she hugged Noah with all her strength, she began to cry as she celebrated. And Noah allowed himself to be hugged, it was the least he should do in this situation.

But if he continued like this for any longer, he would surely die from lack of oxygen.

"Mom, what happened?" and as Emma continued to hug Noah tightly, she answered Lisandra in a cheerful voice.

"It's Noah!"

And with her answer, everyone ran toward the bathroom.

Everyone started to look at Noah.

Noah can't help but feel embarrassed seeing all those people looking at him, and seeing that everyone was worried he can't help but feel guilty.

'Again I've got everyone worried... I really can't...' He thought as he closed his eyes and enjoyed Emma's hug.

####

As soon as Noah was released by Emma, he was pulled by her into the living room, as the hallway was too cramped with that many people standing there.

After he reached the living room, the first person to approach him was Lari.

"Where were you? Why did you disappear again?" She hugged Noah and continued to cry.

Seeing this, Ciaphia moved closer and held Lari's arm.

"Let him go." She said sounding a little annoyed. 

After Ciaphia pulled Lari for a while, she let go of Noah and everyone started laughing at that situation.

Next, Ciaphia approached Noah and bent down a little. Then she held his head and placed her lips on his, kissing him. She give him a kiss that lasted a few seconds.

Noah was surprised at first but received her kiss.

"Glad you're okay." After separating her lips from Noah's lips, Ciaphia looked into Noah's eyes saying so. Noah felt his heart speed up the moment this happened.

Not resisting, it was his turn to kiss her.

"Hm~~" Ciaphia looked surprised but also accepted his kiss.

"Hey, stop that! I want to hug my brother too." Lisandra pulled Ciaphia back separating her lips from Noah's lips, then she moved closer to Noah and hugged him.

"Why do you have to make me worry so often?"

"I'm sorry."

"That is the last time I will accept your apology. The next time you disappear I won't talk to you anymore."

"Isn't that a bit extreme?"

"Hmph." Lisandra pouted and then separated herself from Noah.

After that, Noah looked at Lari who had fainted after seeing his and Ciaphia's kiss. Noah smiled bitterly at her.

"Don't worry, I'll take her to her room." Dala approached Lari to pick her up, but Emma refused to let Dala do that.

"Don't worry, I'll do it." Emma picked Lari up in her arms and then carried her to her room.

Noah started laughing when he saw that, but with no time to breathe, he was hugged by Taciane and Eli.

They both came closer and hugged him at the same time.

While hugging him, Taciane was the only one who said something.

"The next time you disappear and make Ciaphia so worried, I will not forgive you." After saying that, she walked away.

Noah looked at Eli and she just smiled.

'She's scary.' Noah thought as he looked at Taciane who was smiling innocently.

"Don't disappear like that again, do you have any idea how my mother and I feel?" Rose moved closer to Noah and put her hand on his head.

"And I already told you not to treat me as a child." Noah held Rose's hand.

"Okay, okay. Do you want a hug?"

"Only if it's from your mother."

"What?"

"Is that it? Then it's okay." Hearing that, Sara walked over and hugged Noah. 

Rose looked at that without reaction.

"Are you trying to make my mother fall in love with you now?"

"Don't say weird things, Ciaphia is here."

"I was just kidding."

"..."

After Rose and Sara moved away, Rieli walked over and hugged Noah. After she did this, Clachel followed suit and also hugged Noah.

After that, everyone looked at Noah waiting for him to say something, including his mother who had entered the room again.

"What's wrong?" He said a little awkwardly.

"Now that we know you're okay, I want to know where you were. Why did you disappear again? You have to have a good justification, otherwise, I will have to cut your head off." Emma said sounding irritated.

"Eh? You're happy because I'm fine and now you're thinking of killing me?"

"I am your mother, I have the permission to take your life."

"Don't even say that as a joke."

"Do I look like I'm joking?" A fireball appeared in Emma's hand and she approached Noah.

Everyone looked at her and Noah looking worried. Ciaphia even thought of interfering to protect Noah, but Lisandra held her back and just shook her head both ways.

'Better not say anything. Let my mother punish him.'

'But won't she kill him?'

'Don't worry, that won't happen.' Lisandra gave Ciaphia a smile. 

Hearing that, Ciaphia calmed down a little.

"Will you start telling me what happened or will I have to burn you alive?"

"But..."

"All right. I'll go after your father to let him know you're back. When I get back, I want you to tell me everything that happened, do you understand me?"

"Yes..."

"Very well." Deactivating her magic, Emma left the house to go after Lucio.

After she left, Noah fell on his butt on the floor and took a deep breath.

"I thought she was going to burn me alive."

Everyone inside the room also took a deep breath, but after everyone started laughing at Noah.

Seeing this, he started to look around.

'It's nice to see that everyone cares about me, but I feel so guilty.' Noah lowered his head despondent.

After getting up, Noah sat down on the couch together with Lisandra and Ciaphia and then started talking to all.

But he avoided talking about the real reasons for his disappearance.

'I will talk about it only with my mother, they don't need to know.' He thought as he smiled and received the affection of all inside the room.

After waiting there for a few minutes, his mother came back along with his father.
