Death Guns In Another World

"I like them all." (I like them very much) Although the answer was very simple, the Holy Maiden's heart was as sweet as honey. As long as Alex chose it, it would be affirmed without exception.

Alex looked at Kuina's grinning expression. All of a sudden, he felt a connection. She liked not only these gifts, but also this kind of life and this kind of feeling.

He liked it too.

Love couldn't be stormy seas and life-and-death excitement all the time, but it consisted of more ordinary and mutual warmth.

Alex had gone through life-and-death situations several times, and he came to value his life, and his happiness more. While it's true that he desired to sit at the top was not for any great ambition, but just to protect his cherished people and happiness. He had finally understood this simple truth after many trials. Everyone whether it's unconsciously or not they are searching for something to protect themselves, some can finally find it while some never would because they did not know what they truly wanted, their eyes aren't opened yet. Alex previously wanted to stand at the summit for personal reasons, it was what he believed but now he just wanted to do that to be able to protect what he had, his happiness, their happiness.

To this reach this goal he had set, he would look directly at the unknown dangers ahead and continue to move forward.

"Boss."

Kuina's eyes lit up and picked up an item.

"I want this."

"Wrap it together." Alex spoke up.

The Holy Maiden shook her head, "I'll pay for this one. I bought it for Gracier."

Upon hearing this, Alex looked at the delicate little toy. His heart was warm when he thought of the cute little sister. He should spend time with her and buy her a lot of toys, the last time he bought one was when he bought that bear to act as a substitute when she was sleeping beside him. Alex secretly vowed to buy a lot of toys for Gracier later on but currently, he was happy with Kuina's gesture. He couldn't help holding Kuina's hand tightly.

"Thinking of Gracier?" Her tacit understanding of Alex was getting deeper and deeper, and so is her love, simple interest and rivalry had turned into this. Even Kuina herself wouldn't have believed it if she was told that she fall this hard for a man like the saying goes 'When a woman was curious about a man, it was only a matter of time before she fell in love with that man.'

'I guess it's true.' She thought before shaking her head and asking.

"And Maria and the others?"

Alex nodded, and Kuina leaned lightly on his shoulder, "Bring Maria and the others out next time."

He nodded, it would be good to bring everyone out on a date once in a while, he thought.

Meanwhile, the vendor said.

''Guests, these are the items you picked." The owner of the boutique was a smiling old man, looking at the couple with a smile.

"Sir, yours is 4 silver coins and 15 copper coins. The little toy that Madam bought is 3 silver coins and 7 copper coins. I'll give you a discount so let's say everything will be 7 silver coins and twenty copper coins.''

Alex paid the money, and the boss kindly added, "You two should be from out of town. It's getting dark now, so hurry up and find a hotel to check-in. Don't go out at night. I'll also close the shop soon."

Alex acted as if he was taken aback and asked, "Is there a curfew at night? Even if it is a curfew, it's still early."

"It's not a curfew… There's a bit of a situation during this time, even the guards don't dare to come out easily at night."

Kuina carefully discovered the abnormality of the street outside. It was quite lively when entering Sun City before. After visiting a few stores, the pedestrians had become very few. Most of them seemed to be in a hurry as if they wanted to hurry back. Two out of three of the shops were also closed.

Alex asked curiously, "What's going on here?"

"Since you've come to Sun City, you haven't even heard of this? This is a famous ghost town!" The boss looked around as if afraid of something and said carefully after noticing that everything was alright.

"Every night, the area around Sun City is shrouded in a mysterious power that is terrifying and can absorb the soul as well as the vitality of human beings. Even if you walk outside, your power will be devoured. It is said that some kind of terrifying spirit is at work. People who go out will be sucked out of their flesh and soul. There are also legends that it is a curse. The darkness behind the light of the curse… This situation has existed for many years now, but I don't know exactly what happened recently but things had worsened. There have been many daring adventurers who deliberately went out at night to check it out even after the recent change. They had turned into a pool of dead bones when they were discovered the next day. After such incidents happened in a row, no one dared to try again. Even the knights advised everyone not to go out at night. The Knights of Light have come to investigate several times, but they found nothing. You're here at the wrong time. Every year, this week is the time when the strange curse is the strongest. You should find a hotel to stay in or it will be dangerous if you are late. Previously, we thought it was maybe a dungeon's doing but unfortunately, nothing had been confirmed, what had been used for attraction had changed into something extremely dangerous nobody can predict.'

"A curse that has plagued the city for many years?" After leaving the store.

The Holy Maiden's eyes flickered a bit. Alex could see that the boss' kind reminder not only did not make her vigilant but sparked her interest. Well, it must be expected as they chose this kingdom, this city for a reason. Thank to his mother-in-law and his intelligence network, this city was one among many Leonardo and his party's members might be in.

''Let's go. I want to see how powerful they have become since I've heard they became all demigods.'' Alex said with a dangerous smile on his face, it would be fun if those three had switched sides, he would kill them without remorse and he still have the perfect justification afterward for what he did.
