Plundering in the Apocalypse

Shin looked a little sad. It was true. He has been thinking about this since the time the world flipped. Talking with Alice was just a way to let out some of his thoughts. But it also helped him express his true self.

'She must be feeling disappointed at me.'

'Ahh, Why did I say all that? I am embarrassed now. I just blabbered everything to her. She is just a little girl.' Shin was thinking he shouldn't have told her such things when they were having such a nice talk and now it's awkward.

But soon he heard Alice's words and widened his eyes as he looked at her. While killing the last monster.

"Don't feel guilty Shin. Your parents love you and I know that for sure. They never thought of you that way. I am sure they just wanted the best for you." Alice said with full seriousness. There was not a hint of her childish self, present.

It was Alice speaking, who worked from an early age and matured faster than anyone else. The one who struggled lived in harsh conditions, and supported her mother.

She thought of her time and continued.

"You can still do so much for them. But I can't." Alice said solemnly.

Shin felt his heartache hearing this. She was right. His parents as still there. He could do whatever he can for them. At that moment he felt how Alice must have been feeling. How lonely would she be? He was crying in his heart.

"You know Shin. I thought of ending my life when I lost them. But with just a small hope I lived and didn't give up. Maybe there's a reason I'm still here. Maybe someone still needs me."

She paused for a second before looking at Shin with an alluring gaze.

"And I am sure I'll soon know that reason too."

Alice said with a charming smile.

Shin focused his eyes on her and smiled.

'Maybe I was wrong about her. She is not a little girl nor should I treat her like that. She is much more important than that. She is already mature. Much more level-headed than I am.'

'But what is this feeling? I can't express what it is. Do I like her? That's still too early to conclude. But if I really do then I need to take her seriously.'

'We still have time and I am sure I'll come to an answer soon.'

Shin thought with a smile.

'Now that I look at her closely. She is actually my type. Yeah well, she is still small in some parts but that's understandable. She will grow soon.'

He shook his head.

'Let's think about this after things settle down a little bit.'

Shin had a curious smile on his face as he looked at Alice.

"Alice, why didn't you transform now? Isn't your transformation usually used for battle?"

Alice looked a little surprised then conflicted. How could she tell him that she transforms when she gets angry or bloodlust?

"I-I didn't think it was necessary." Alice shuttered.

"Really? But that form of yours is also very cute." Shin said nonchalantly.

Alice was embarrassed. How could he say something like that with a straight face? Also, don't people call her crazy and demon in that form? Why does he consider her cute?

Maybe, that's what true love is. You even like the faults of the person you love.

She looked at Shin while shedding tears of joy.

Ohh how nice of him. He loves her so much.

At that moment Alice's obsession with Shin increased a little.

Soon Shin's eyes turned red as his skill predator eyes got activated automatically.

He had a bad feeling. Alice also seems to notice the change in Shin's expression.

The monsters or rather the big bosses were now making a move. Tarantula and Vultican were leaving their area.

It was time for the main dish to be served.

"Alice..." Shin looked at her promptly.

"Yeah, let's go. We need to hurry." Alice said to him understanding the situation.

Shin nodded in agreement.

They were about to rush in another direction but soon Shin noticed something and stopped Alice.

"Wait, Alice. We don't need to go anywhere now."

"What why?" Alice was confused.

But Shin replied to her helping her curiosity.

"Cause they are coming towards us."

Alice's eyes widened.

"Both of them?" Alice questioned.

"Yes, both of them," Shin replied with a grave expression.

"Maybe because we hunted so many monsters that they see us as threats."

"If that's the case we need to eliminate them too," Alice replied without much a change in her expression.

Shin nodded. It was true. They just have to deal with them. They will have to think properly. If they fight together they can deal with the Vultican first and then go after Tarantula together. Which is more of an unknown variable.

"I'll fight with that Vultican." Before Shin could suggest anything. Alice's voice sounded.

But before he could say anything Alice continued.

"I have a personal problem with it. So that Vultican is my prey." She looked rather angry.

Shin got curious about what did a Vultican do to Alice. So she hates it that much.

'She also transformed which means she is going to take this seriously. That means I shouldn't butt in for now. I'll help her if she is in problem.'

"Okay, Alice. It's all yours. I'll keep that Tarantula away."

*Bang*

*Thump*

So two large monsters landed near them. One on either side. From a glance, it was obvious that those monsters won't interfere with each other.

Alice looked at Vultican with a hateful gaze. Shin looked at her expression and decided to not bother her. She must have her reason.

While eying the Vultican Alice thought.

'Last time one of these bastards interrupted me and Shin.'

Thought Alice inwardly as she remembered her time when a Vultican interrupted her and Shin. When they were hugging and flirting with each other. (That's how Alice remembered.)

'I take my grudge very seriously. Too bad that one is already dead. But now that I have a chance I can kill one of their kind.'

'Hehehe~'

Alice had a smirk on her face as she emitted killing intent.
