Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 358: Awkward

"So, we're done here?" Flora asked while walking toward the inn.

"I think? We have finished our job." Sera nodded.

"Yes. I'll be visiting the dwarf after talking with my teacher." Nathan thought for a moment. "I don't think we need to do anything else. Still, we don't experience any earthquakes in our location, right?"

"Yes. I haven't heard anything about that." Flora confirmed it without hesitation. "And even if it happens, with this information, it's easier to calm down the people."

"I'll ask the Holy Kingdom about it as well. Do you mind if I share this information?"

"Sure. It's not like this is a secret." Nathan crossed his arms. "I guess it's time to go home?"

"You don't normally buy souvenirs?" Flora asked. "When going on a mission, it's good to buy some souvenirs, you know? For example, how about buying some for Selena?"

Nathan chuckled. He had become a bit too comfortable with Selena. In the past, they were poor since Nathan hadn't gotten his allowance and Selena didn't have any money from home. So, they didn't care much about buying souvenirs.

Even when they had money, they would treasure experiences and memories instead of souvenirs.

Nathan shook his head. "It's fine. Both Selena and I aren't the types who like to spend needlessly."

"Is that so?" Flora tilted her head before shrugging. "Well, that's fine. It's evening. Do you want to return tomorrow or before the night?"

"I will end up assisting with my teacher's research, so let's return tomorrow. I don't want her to pull another all-nighter."

"Sure."

Because they returned tomorrow, Flora ended up going around the town, buying some stuff.

Meanwhile, Nathan might end up questioning whether his decision to return the next day was correct or not.

After all, Sera had finally decided to make her move.

"Nathan…" Sera was sitting in front of him with a serious expression. She was wearing a nightgown even though the sun hadn't set.

"Yes?" Nathan gulped down.

"I want to ask you something."

"Sure. What is it?"

Sera squinted her eyes before sitting next to Nathan to the point where their arms were touching. "Do you hate me?"

"No. I like you. Why would I hate you?" was what Nathan said, except for the fact that he was slightly moving sideways.

Sera's eyebrows twitched. "Then why are you avoiding me? Is it because of Flora? Is it because of my affiliation with the Holy Kingdom?"

Nathan would be lying if it was not for the latter. However, he thought about dropping it, since it would be unfair to Sera. In addition, he had chosen to live without regret and used his wisdom to just deal with the problem that came his way.

Hence, Nathan shook his head. "No. That's not a problem."

"Then why?"

"Well, I have to be fair. What if my decision ends up bringing disaster to my relationship?"

"Then, what if I told you Selena had given me the permission?"

"Selena? Did she?" Nathan was taken aback. He knew Selena pretty well. She would most likely object to it.

Even though she had been changing thanks to him, he believed he needed a few more months before making it work.

Nathan didn't expect that Selena would give her the permission. At first, he thought she was lying. But Sera wouldn't lie in this situation.

"Seriously?"

Sera nodded. "To avoid you making a move on Flora, she has given me her permission. We've come to an agreement that rather than restricting you, it's better to stop you from going down the path you shouldn't."

"But looking at the situation, there's no way I'm going with Flora, right?" Nathan's eyebrows twitched. "How low is your trust in me?"

"If we're talking about women… close to none. Anything else, I will trust you with my life."

Nathan raised his finger, wanting to refute her. However, he ended up retracting his finger, realizing that might be true. "Are you serious?"

"Yes. I'm really serious. Besides, who cares if you are going to make a move on Flora or not? She has given me the permission. If I don't seize it, I feel like I will never succeed. That's why please decide. Do it now, or do you want me to seduce you?"

"Is that even an option?" Nathan scratched the back of his head.

Sera only smiled. "Well, I would only move in with you once you got a bigger room. That was the agreement."

Nathan took a deep breath. "Even if it means our relationship will be different?"

"I know that. However, I won't call it different. I will consider it unique. Besides, I never really care about my position. As a saintess, if not for summoning a fallen angel, I wouldn't even think about this kind of thing.

"However, this is something I've decided by thinking about myself," Sera confidently said.

Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Seriously? What can I do with you?"

"Hehe." Sera's smile became even bigger.

"It will be different, but I promise that…" Nathan held her hands. "I will protect you even if it means going against the god."

Sera pouted. "Say it against the world instead of the god."

"Hahaha." Nathan chuckled. "Well, it seems we need a new room."

Sera glanced to the side. Even though they were inside the room, they were still in the same suite as Flora. Even if it meant downgrading their room, they really needed a new room.

"Yes. I think we need it."

"Then grab my clothes for me. I will ask for another room." Nathan stood up and immediately exited the room.

Although their relationship was awkward because of her boldness as well as Nathan's previous prejudice, she couldn't help but smile. After all, everything could be improved with enough time.

She immediately packed up their luggage. Of course, she had to write a note for Flora so that she didn't panic.

However, it appeared her relationship would end up being filled with a lot of awkwardness.

Just right after she dropped the note and grabbed her and Nathan's bags, Flora actually came back.

"I'm back. Nathan, Sera. Are you guys still here—!" She abruptly stopped when she saw Sera right in front of her.

Both of them froze, staring at each other.

Sera's face turned red as she just lowered her head and ran past her.

"Sera?" Flora was astounded. What was actually going on? And that was when she noticed a note telling her about them moving to another room. It took her an instant to realize what was going on.

While looking back at the open door, Flora couldn't help but mutter, "Did those two…"
