My Gene System

Chapter 90 - The Unexpected

Riku and Emma managed to survive the monsters' aggression inside the Assima forest. Furthermore, Emma received a severe wound on her stomach which made them stopover.

But the thing here was, even Emma was unconscious, still, she wrapped her arm over Riku's neck, after that, gave him a direct kiss on his wet lips.

Of course, he was shocked by this circumstance. At the same time, he couldn't push her back because of her injury.

His eyes were widened, feeling their lips were stuck together. At this juncture, he didn't know what he have to do.

Eh?

Eh?

His hands touched to the ground as he lost his balance. "This is not right! Yui would surely be miserable once she know that I already kissed someone." He said to his mind, then placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed it slowly.

Emma was leaning on the tall tree, but you could see her reddish lips because of their kiss. 

Riku...

Riku...

Riku...

For some reason, she was spitting Riku's name out of her mouth which made Riku turn into confusion. Not totally confused as he was aware that this woman had a bit of feeling for him, but he wasn't paying too much. Or to be exact, he doesn't care about Emma or Arisu since the only woman he wanted was Yui.

He uncontrollably wiped his lips, thinking that this scene never happened between them. "No! No! No! I must stop thinking about it!" He said along with an obnoxious expression.

He was thinking right now it just happened because Emma was unconscious, so her body was involuntarily moving.

Phew!

First, he took a deep breath, trying to forget all things. "That's just simply an accident, I should not pay too much to that." He muttered, then gently rubbed his chest while letting out the air softly.

He can't take to leave Emma here without his watch, knowing there was a high possibility another monster could find her and easily kill her. In order to stop the bleeding, Riku tore some clothes and rolled them over on her stomach.

Infections. This was thinking right now as he had no idea if the monster's blade had the bacteria enough to slowly kill her. "I hope that's not happening."

As soon he finished giving medical attention to her, he moved to another tree so that he could regain the strength he lost after that skirmished.

Ten minutes had easily passed. He noticed Emma's breathing was back to its original state, aside from that, she had a fast recovery which means she will awake in no time.

By looking around, the place was stable and the wind was slowly gently blowing, letting them feel more comfortable. To be more simple, he couldn't see that there was another monster that would approach them.

"The only thing I have to do right is to wait for Emma to regain her consciousness. Once that happens, I would find her someplace where she can properly rest, and for me, I would try to find the last elements I needed to create the landmines."

He talked to himself as it was the best way to calm him and forgot the embarrassing scene that occurred in his life.

First Riku arrived in this unknown world after he tried his awakening for the second time. Next, brought to the green vast forest where were the strong monsters inhabited, on top of that, he got work to his body for one month to become a good vessel for his [Dark crow's gene]. He thought, by enhancing his body would be enough, but all the things changed as he discovered a place that they called Arzotoc village.

Of course, staying a month inside the perilous forest. He never expected that there was a place like this that existed in this world, aside from that, he was eager to see people here and asked them how he could possibly back to the Earth. As soon as he arrived at the village, he was glad after seeing the guards walking closer to him, but those smiles easily faded away as the guards caught him and put him in the cell. 

They interrogated him, yet those guards didn't get information because of the language barrier. Saying different language made the guards think that this man was the spy of the other Kingdom. Also, it was enough reason for them to brutally torture him just to make sure Riku would say the truth. Moreover, it ended up that he almost dies, luckily, a beautiful woman saved him from those guards. Yes! It was Arisu Hanz and King Luke's daughter.

To fix the language barrier between Riku and the other villagers. She asked for Elder Caron's help, and guessed what? They succeeded to do that because of the magic. It was the first time he could see someone was using magical power, at the same time, he never expected that magic could teach him to use the language. Although it was not quite fluent, still, it was enough to have a proper conversation between them.

Living in this village was still hard for him. Since the villagers didn't him to become part of them, he was receiving harsh words from them, wrong treatment, etc, as they thought this man was the spy. Their basis was his physical appearance cause he was half Japanese and half Latin so his face new for them.

Arisu did all work for him, protecting him until introduced Riku to his father. Because of his advanced knowledge, King Luke asked to him create a thing that would have a big benefit to their village. Yes! It was the pipeline and followed up with the quest given by the system. When he was saving Solomon, he fought different monsters that must not exist in that kind of place, also, it was the time when Emma came to his life.

A lot of things happened to his life in this world, happiness, sadness, enjoyment, fear, and other feelings the person could feel. Luckily, he was still alive and continued fighting to find his back to the Earth.

Riku...

Riku...

Riku...

A familiar soft voice touched his ears, feeling that someone was narrowly tapping his shoulders. He slowly opened up his eyes, seeing the blurry image of the woman along with the followed up question.

"Are you crying, Riku? Why?" Emma asked him politely, at the same time, her aggressive attitude back into a calm one.

And all of a sudden, he slightly touched his eyes cause even he felt the tears dripping in the corner of his eyes.

"A dream?" He said in a weak tone, remembering the scene that transpired inside his head earlier. At this point, he realized that he fall asleep so he immediately looked around to see if there was a monster around them.

He sighed with relief, knowing that the monsters weren't able to find their location. After that, he gradually took a glance at Emma's face, unexpectedly recalling that this woman kissed him earlier.

"N-No, I'm not crying, Emma. My eyes just got wet sometimes." He stammered, at the same time, remembered this woman's injury. "How about you, Emma? Do you still hurt? Let me see your wound." He draws his attention to the other thing, so he could avoid thinking about that scene.

She just smiled at him, then showed that she could jump and didn't hurt anymore. "I'm good, Riku. Also, I wanted to thank you for coming back." She paused for a second as she saw Riku something that she never anticipated.

He bowed his head, didn't care even it was touching the surface. "I wanted to apologize for all the words I have said to you. I didn't really mean it, I just said it for you to leave, cause I know you will never leave me." He said politely, hoping this woman could easily forgive him.

Pat... Pat... Pat...

And all of a sudden, Emma was gently patting her head along with a broad smile on her face. "Raise your head, Riku. Also, I don't think you could say that, sorry if I just got realized it when you come back and looked worried after you saw me bleeding." She replied, then gave her hand at him to help him to stand up. "Come on, Riku, we have to leave before the monster could find us here. Remember, the number one you taught me that the monsters can use our blood to detect our location."

He slowly raised his head, then gave her a few nods. "You're right, Emma. But thanks for me even the good time or hard time, I appreciate that."

The two continued their expedition inside the Assima forest, finding the last materials they needed which was the potassium nitrate. On the other hand, Riku had a strong feeling that could find that material sooner or later.

Thirty minutes had passed, Riku and Emma were standing again in front of the cave. Yet, it wasn't the cave they went to before. "Emma, I'll ask you one more time. Do you want to come with me inside this cave?"

"Of course, I'm happy to do that!"
