Aiden flashed a big smile. 'Too easy.'

He knew that she would be the one asking them. He had noticed how desperate she had been wanting an answer from him.

Aiden slowly turned around, hiding his smile while doing so. Evelynn, however, still had the same expression as earlier, she was extremely frustrated about everything that was currently happening.

She was even wondering why Aiden wanted to know what was happening to her, couldn't they just leave and never comeback?

They had achieved his goal which was to create that mana-restricting potion, so why was he trying to learn things about Anna, a person that was clearly having some mental problems.

"Can't we leave?" Evelynn whispered to Aiden's ear as she was still scared of the person in front of her.

It seemed that what she had endured had been quite rough on her, and Aiden couldn't even begin to understand what had happened in the hour that he had been gone.

Aiden glanced at Evelynn who was currently pulling on his clothes for him to leave this place, however, he didn't want to listen to her. He wanted to know what had just happened, who the hell was the 'he'.

Aiden didn't respond to Evelynn as he made sure that she would feel more protected by pulling her closer to him, right under his arm.

Evelynn blushed instantly, but she didn't say anything as she really liked what she was feeling right now.

"So, what was it that you wanted to tell us?" Aiden asked out loud, not noticing the redness of Evelynn's face.

He was so concentrated on the answers he wanted, that he didn't notice anything happening around him.

"Uh…" Anna said as she started looking down, playing with her fingers. 

For some reason, it seemed to be one hell of a problem that she was having as she was still hesitating. 

Aiden noticed this behavior and was starting to get annoyed. "Look, if you don't want to tell us we can just leave, we aren't the ones who need those answers."

Aiden knew that he was the one currently driving the conversation and he made sure that she knew about it by putting as much pressure as possible on her.

"No! Don't leave! I'll tell you!" Anna shouted as loudly as possible. It seemed that she was starting to get stressed as time passed.

"Look, I'll tell you, I just need some time," Anna muttered.

Aiden rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Just tell me right now or I will never tell you about what happened between us."

*Gulp*

There was a big gulp coming from Anna's mouth, that was heard by everyone in the room.

She was getting ready to answer as she tightly closed both her fists.

Aiden waited patiently this time as he made sure to give Evelynn some glances, making sure that she was alright. But, surprisingly, she seemed to be smiling at him every time that he looked down which was a weird reaction, however, Aiden didn't bother with it.

He was happy as long as she was happy, he didn't care about the reason as to why she was acting this way.

Aiden had also noticed the blush on her face, but it was so faint that he thought it was something else.

"Alright, I'm ready," Anna announced as she made sure to look into Aiden's eyes. "Uh… where can I start? Basically, that person wasn't me, it was someone else."

'Well, I already knew that,' Aiden thought, unhappy with the current response.

However, he decided to stay quiet, not saying another word.

"Actually, the thing is… I have no way who that person is or what that thing is. All I know is that once in a while I become a different person, attacking every single thing that's in front of me."

"I don't know why but it feels like I can do everything to everyone and nothing will happen to me. Usually, when I run rampant it's the director that comes to wake me up or make me go back to normal. That's why I was so interested in you since you managed to bring me back without using his spell, so tell me… how did you do it?"

Aiden listened to every single word and he couldn't help but be extremely frustrated over the matter.

"That's it? You don't know what is taking over you?" Aiden asked as he that was exactly what he wanted to know.

He was expecting something big like a Demon King or something that would sound completely impossible, however, she was just as much in the dark as Aiden.

'But why was it that she wanted to hide this information? It doesn't seem bad at all,' Aiden pondered, not understanding why she would be hiding those things.

There was literally nothing weird or extremely bad in what she had said. In fact, it was sort of what Aiden had guessed.

'Well, I guess she did tell me, so I'll tell her.'

Aiden knew that he couldn't straight up tell her that it was a skill from another world. He would just make sure to change the truth enough that she wouldn't be able to figure it out.

"Your turn," she said, gathering her emotions once again. It seemed that this revelation had taken a huge toll on her for some reason.

"Well, what I used isn't magic at all. It's just a technique from where I come from, it makes me able to remove all the emotions that someone is feeling."

Anna seemed interested as she put her hand on her chin. "Removing emotions? That's possible?"

For some reason, she didn't seem to believe him.

"Can you do it on her?" Anna said as she pointed toward Evelynn who was clearly having a lot of emotions jumbled up.

"Uh… sure I guess," Aiden said as he put his hand on top of Evelynn's head, activating [Gentle Touch] while doing that.

As soon as he did that, all redness from her face disappeared, but that wasn't the end of it as even her smile disappeared from her face.
