Chapter 403 ( Whereabouts Unknown )

Lindow was waiting for his teammates, or so he wanted to say, but he was more focused on Sofia than on all the problems he was having.

"Relax, I'll be fine" - Sofia replied with a smile as she caressed his cheek - "Now you need to worry a little more about yourself."

"I can't worry about myself when I have all those lives in my hands" - Lindow replied as Sofia sighed in despair. She was actually starting to get annoyed with her boyfriend, after all, he was too heroic, and that wasn't good for a relationship, least of all when they both had such a dangerous trade.

"I just hope you know what you're doing, Lindow" - Sofia muttered as she shook her head.

"I know what I'm doing, I promise" - Lindow replied as he took his girlfriend by the hand with a smile on his face. He knew his girlfriend wished he cared more about her and himself, but there were times to do that, and this wasn't one of them.

Minutes passed, and the other three members of the group appeared. They were two men and a woman, and from the attitude they were displaying, it was obvious they knew each other very well.

"I guess it's another day where we will possibly die" - said one of the men. He had a muscular body and was wearing tight clothing that showed much of his body.

"Every day that goes by, we are likely to die, remember that's why we earn so much" - replied the woman as she folded her arms. She had lightly tanned skin along with not very prominent crows, but far from making her look unfeminine, it only further accentuated her physique trained for the job of being a [God Eater].

"You can stop arguing, and kiss once and for all" - said the second man. He was in his early twenties along with a slightly slender body.

"Shut up!" - exclaimed the two [God Eater] as they looked at their partner.

"OK, enough of the games, we have a dangerous job to do" - said Lindow as he looked at his fellow missionaries.

"Hai!" - [God Eater] all three exclaimed as they nodded firmly. They knew that playtime was over and it was time to enter the battlefield, again.

"Let's go" - Lindow said earnestly as the group followed him out of the facility with the conviction that this might be the last time they would see their friends and acquaintances.

"Hai!" - exclaimed the soldiers again as they followed their leader with serious expressions on their faces.

"Good luck, guys" - muttered Soma as he watched the group leave with a serious expression on his face, although he wasn't the only one because Tsubaki, Sakuya, Tatenashi and Houki, were watching their friends and teammates leave.

"Ugh" - Cloud slowly opened his eyes as he felt like his body was on the verge of breaking from all the pressure he had put her through.

"Cloud!" - Alisa exclaimed as she ran to the blond as she heard him groan in pain.

"Alisa," Cloud muttered as he gave the girl a look.

Alisa could feel her heart pounding after feeling the mystical strength in the blond's eyes. She could unconsciously feel her body start to increase in temperature.

Cloud gave her a look as she began to breathe in agitation.

With his body weak and his mind tired, he could hardly contain his instincts, and Alisa was making it difficult when she didn't want to control herself either, though to her luck, they weren't alone.

"Uh, are they going to start mating, anyway?" - Shio asked as she looked curiously at Cloud and Alisa - "Can I see?"

"Huh?" - Alisa started to blush uncontrollably when she heard the little white-haired girl, only to shake her head and take a few steps back. She knew her emotions weren't in control, so it was best that she stay as far away from the blonde as possible until she calmed down.

Cloud gave the little girl a look before shaking his head weakly - "Thanks, I guess."

"I don't understand" - Shio muttered as she frowned - "The two of you were releasing pheromones, that means you both were about to mate, but now you're just like always"

"How do you want us to have sex when you destroyed the environment we had created!" - Alisa exclaimed in thought, only to open her eyes in surprise when she realized what she had been thinking - "Why am I acting this way!"

"Is something wrong, Alisa?" - Shio asked as she tugged on the human girl's skirt.

"No, it's nothing" - Alisa answered with her face as red as an apple.

"If you say so" - replied Shio as she shrugged her shoulders, only to notice how [Sapphire] was walking to their leader and was handing her some [Aragami] cores that she had hunted.

[Eating this will help you recover faster, my lord] - [Sapphire] said with a smile.

Cloud gave her a glance, only to notice how his subordinate was now much smaller than before, he could even sense that she was expressing more emotions - "You evolved while I was sleeping?"

[Sapphire] nodded weakly while looking worriedly at her master - [Sapphire has learned a few things from Onee-sama].

"I see" - muttered Cloud as he tried to get up, only to feel how his body seemed to be about to break - "Ugh"

[Master!] - exclaimed [Sapphire] in terror as she tried to use some of her icy energy to try to make the pain go away.

"Relax, I'm fine" - replied Cloud with a smile as he tried to calm [Sapphire] down, after all, she was just learning about emotions, causing her to have the mentality of a child as young as 5 years old, unlike Shio who despite her age, she possessed a much older mental age.

[ . . . ] - [Sapphire] watched her teacher for a few seconds before nodding weakly. She could sense that he wasn't lying, so she decided to relax a bit, though she was still worried about the blond.

"I think I'm going to have a little more work to do" - Shio muttered as she saw how her younger sister was much more immature than she had thought, though thinking back, Shio had many more years of experience than she appeared.

"What do you plan on doing now that you've woken up, Cloud?" - Alisa asked as she looked at the blond with a calm expression.

"If I'm honest, I have no idea" - Cloud replied as he looked at the girl for a few seconds before closing his eyes so he could check the state of his body, only to frown as he noticed that the damage was much greater than he had thought, and what made it worse, was that he couldn't use the [XL (Infinity) Potion] to be able to heal his condition - "My body is so damaged that I don't think I can fly until tomorrow at noon."

"I see, I guess that means we'll be on our own until tomorrow, or at least that they manage to save us, which I see unlikely with the situation they're currently in at [Fenrir: Far East]" - Alisa replied unconsciously, only to open her eyes in surprise - "Right, I still haven't told you what happened while you were unconscious!"

". . ." - Cloud was silent as he listened to everything that had happened, only to frown because it was obvious that there was something weird in the middle of everything that had happened, that is, everything was being too coordinated - "It's obvious that the general on the part of the [Aragami], is someone smart, and I wouldn't be surprised if his danger level is A or higher."

"We thought the same thing, that's why leader Lindow decided to go after the leader to kill him" - Alisa replied with concern.

Cloud frowned when he heard this because it was too hasty and he was sure Lindow knew it - "Is the situation that bad that you have to risk it this way?"

Alisa shook her head because she honestly didn't know how to answer this question.

"Neither," Lindow muttered as he frowned.

It had been almost two hours since they had left the current central base and begun their search, but to no avail.

"Are you sure it's at this location, Leader Lindow?" - Maria, the woman who had joined their group along with Jeff and Mirio, asked.

"I'm sure" - replied Lindow as he looked around with a serious expression on his face, after all, his instincts were telling him that his target was close, but for some strange reason, they couldn't find it - "Maybe it's underground?"

The [God Eater] looked at each other not knowing what to say.

Sophia was confused, but at the same time she was relieved that they hadn't found [Aragami] in the area. It might sound like something selfish, but she really didn't want anything to happen to Lindow.

"Maybe it's a better idea to go back to the base" - Mirio said while the others looked at him with a frown, although they had to admit that it was a good idea, mostly because this way they would be safe until the attack continued.
