Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

Chapter 136 End And Tears [2]

Upon hearing the knock on her door and the voice of Leon, she didn't really want to go and open the door. He'd been coming over these days to give her fresh food which in reality, she didn't eat much.

But she still got up after letting Leon wait for a good 10 minutes, walking up to the door she slowly unlocked the door lock and opened the door. There Leon was standing outside.

It was night and dark outside so his figure was not clear but Anya was able to tell that he was not carrying a lunchbox with him.

However, Anya didn't ask anything about it and just stood there, in hope that he will spill it out himself. He stared at Anya for a while since he was waiting for her to ask something but when he saw no hope, he turned toward her.

"I want to talk," he said.

"Okay."

"Can I come inside?"

"…Okay."

Anya stepped to the side, making space for Leon. He got inside and then she closed the door.

Her body was weak as she wasn't eating properly hence she was having trouble standing, due to this she went and sat on the bed—Leon joined her and sat beside her.

It was not clear what was going on in the minds of these two since there was complete silence and no one was saying anything. Maybe they were waiting for the other to start while the other thought the same.

The silence continued for a while before Leon broke it, "It was not your fault," he stated, coming directly to the point.

"What wasn't?"

"You know…the thing with your brother—Zero."

"What about it?"

"It…is not your fault that he's not here anymore."

"…"

"That isn't true," Anya protested while she looked below.

"It is."

"It isn't."

"I was there…when it happened. I suspected that there was a trap since Mr. Challes was not doing anything. I knew but even then I let you go in there. If it's anyone's fault then it's mine."

"No, Leon. It was me who stepped inside. I…was the one. It is all my fault.....because of me...he…died. I still can't believe…he's dead! I won't see him again," she broke out into tears again

Seeing this Leon panicked from the inside; after all, he had come here to console Anya and give her peace of mind and provide her with support. So that she can leave her room and get a hold of herself; he was worried that she might fall into depression if nothing was done.

But here, he made her cry. Now he didn't know what to do. Anya was crying nonstop now as the memories of that day flashed in her mind. And Leon had no idea how to stop her.

He only knew one way through which a man can provide comfort to a woman when nothing else is working.

It was copulation.

As for why he thought that this stupid idea was good? Because of the plot of loli_pop's novel. The same thing had happened there, that's why here in this world—which followed the novel's plot, his line of thought was the same.

Hence, he decided to just follow his mind and do the deed.

He gulped nervously as he looked at Anya—she was still crying.

"It was not your mistake, Anya. You don't have to take on all the guilt," he said and then moved close to her.

Leaning forward he stretched his hand and held Anya from her shoulders and bought her close. And now both of them were just beside each other, Anya was leaning onto his shoulder and she might've not realized this since she was not living in the present.

Her body sure came back but her mind was still there, in that warehouse. That's why all of her actions were no better than those of a doll. She didn't realize that Leon was now staring at her while he thought, 'What next?'

He was red like a tomato—since they were not doing the main thing his horny mode was turned off, and he was unaware of what to do. However, as he was looking at Anya's face she was suddenly hit with reality.

She hurriedly looked up and her eyes met Leon's. Seeing him this close she was flustered, confused, and embarrassed at the same time. The shock was so much that her body didn't even move an inch.

Both of their gazes were locked with each other, they were staring deep into each other's eyes and were blushing badly.

Finally, Leon decided to make a move. He slowly bought his face close as he genteelly held Anya's chin with his right hand.

Their faces were so close that they could feel the other's breath. Leon moved forward even more and his lips were about to touch Anya's.

It would've been an innocent kiss, then a passionate one, then things would've started heating up, the clothes would've vanished from their bodies and they would've done the deed.

But yeah…'they would've'; but that moment never arrived. Anya inserted her hand between her and Leon's lips and stopped the kiss from happening.

Something that should've happened didn't happen. This was the very proof that this world was slowly straying away from the original plot.

Now this unsuccessful kiss was sure to create a butterfly effect and many things in the future will change. And as for whether it was a good thing or bad, no one knew.

Leon, taken back by this, suddenly backed off in embarrassment.

"S-Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. It's just...I don't feel the same way," said Anya, trying to clear any misunderstanding.

"It's okay…I'm fine."

Leon did feel a little disappointed and also ashamed of himself when he realized just what the hell he was going to do. After that, he didn't force Anya to do anything.

In the first place, the reason he was doing this was to make her happy. If she was good without it then better off not doing it.
