Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 136 - Did I Do Something Wrong?

Sister Orb was laughing even more.

[Hahahaha! Good, I shall call you perverted dogs from now on.]

Rean also didn't have a very good expression.

"Cough, cough... don't worry, we will give them back."

Malaka rolled her eyes but nodded in the end. At least, she understood that they were just worried, that's why they went this far. Neither Rean nor Roan was this type of person.

"Alright, if you really give the senior sisters' underwear back, I won't say anything. But there is one condition, you need to help me escape this formation. I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to die of boredom!"

Roan's mouth twitched as he pinched Malaka, which made her almost scream.

"Enough bullshit. Since this is a good thing for you, make sure to finish absorbing all the energy. You better not let me find out that you ran away before it was over."

Roan then turned to Rean before saying.

"Let's go, we need to get out before more of her Senior Sisters come back."

Rean nodded and patted Malaka's head.

"Don't worry, if you hold it until the end, your big brother here will give you a gift once you come out."

Malak's eyes immediately lit up; she knew that Rean always kept his promises just like Roan. The difference was that Roan's promises always had something to do with something she didn't like, like more training, more training, and even more training.

"Alright! It's a promise, you can't go back on it, or I will tell everyone the truth!"

Rean nodded then retracted his camouflage from Malaka. Roan immediately moved outside the tower after that. Rean and Roan know very well which direction the elders' rooms were located after stealing their things, so they didn't think twice before following another path.

Their way out was a lot easier than coming inside. That's because all disciples and outer elders had their Spiritual Senses active all the time! That being said, when the border of the outer elders' Spiritual Sense reached Rean's Spiritual Sense Bending skill, he had enough time to make Roan change direction or enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. One must remember that Spiritual Senses become weaker the further they go. Rean was still able to bend them for long enough to not be discovered. Elder Zuna's case back then was special because she activated her Spiritual Sense only when they got close.

None of the Female Disciples thought that Rean and Roan would be so blatant to leave right through the main gate. Because of that, only four female disciples of the Blue Orchid District/Faction were guarding it. It was more than before, but they were all in the Foundation Establishment nonetheless. It wasn't enough to pass through Rean's Light Element Camouflage and Spiritual Sense bending.

A few minutes after they left, everyone heard a Female Disciple's shout.

"Found them!"

However, she wasn't talking about the culprits, but the panties, bras, etc. Right behind the Main Gate, there were two small mountains of them. Surprisingly, the pervert who stole them had kept them separated. The right side had the clean ones, while the left had the ones that needed to be washed. Rean was trying to at least be considerate when they took them.

Right in between them, there was a letter.

Elder Zuna quickly arrived and saw the girls looking for their own panties, bras, etc. Even more shocking was that it wasn't hard for the girls to find their own. That's because Rean also made sure to bind them with each room's numbers. He didn't know all the girls' names, so he could only use that to identify them.

Yes, Rean was genuinely trying to be even more considerate.

As for the letter that was left behind, it was passed to elder Zuna to read.

'I'm deeply sorry for the confusion. This was supposed to be a prank, but it seems like I went too far. I left all your panties, bras, etc. behind and marked them accordingly to the rooms' numbers I took them from. I just hope that the Blue Orchid District/Faction learns something from this and stop acting so cold towards others. Yes, I now understand the truth. All the sisters of the Blue Orchid are, in fact, very warm-hearted and welcoming. The cold expressions you show outside is nothing but a pretense. I'll be sure to keep it in mind.'

The letter was burnt instantly after.

"Outrageous! Who do you think you are to tell us what to do? You call stealing our underwear just a prank? If I don't skin you alive, I will not be called Zuna! I swear, I will find whoever did this!"

Rean's plans seemed to have worked pretty well. He didn't use 'we' even once in that letter. Instead, he made it look like a single person's job. Zuna didn't doubt it since she doesn't believe someone weaker than her would have pulled such a trick. It didn't matter how long they looked; they simply couldn't find who did it. In her eyes, it was definitely the work of a lone pervert adept at hiding skills.

Rean and Roan didn't stay behind to see what elder Zuna would make from now on. Instead, they rushed back to the mountain. The entire operation lasted almost four hours, so they had to go back. If they are lucky, maybe no one has noticed that they disappeared yet.

Rean and Roan sneaked back through the same path they used to leave. Once they left the restricted areas, Rean got back on the ground as he deactivated his Light Element camouflage and Spiritual Bending Skill. They then rushed back to the Gathering as if nothing had happened. But just as they were about to enter the building where the fights were happening, they noticed elder Guliva leaving it.

Guliva also noticed the twins and sighed in relief.

"Where the hell have you been? I wanted to have you fighting the other factions' new kids, but you were nowhere to be found. Even Julio and Lenna had no idea where you went. I was just about to check the entrance list to see if you had really come or not."

Rean quickly explained.

"Cough, cough... We went to explore the Inner Sect, so we didn't notice the time passing. Sorry, elder Guliva."

Guliva found it somewhat fishy. Would they need four hours just to look around? Still, since they were back in time, he decided to think about it later.

"Alright, I won't talk about it now. Come inside quickly before you lose the chance to challenge the other factions' new disciples. You need to show that our Iron and Blood Faction also has its own geniuses."

Rean and Roan mentally sighed in relief before following elder Guliva. A few minutes later, several female disciples of the Blue Orchid Faction also arrived. For some reason, these disciples seemed to be even colder than usual. There was an aura of 'get close and die' around them.

Elder Zaia, the Inner Sect Elder, and the one leading the Blue Orchid Faction found it weird to see all of them here. One of the disciples quickly came close and sent a Spiritual Sense message reporting what happened. In the next second, the temperature of the air around Elder Zaia plummeted to a terrifying extent.

The other elders also noticed her change. Elder Zaia always kept that smile of hers, so it was the first time seeing another expression on her face for some of them. Hulian, who was close to her, couldn't help but ask.

"Elder Zaia, is everything alright?"

Zaia gave a death glare at him, which made beads of sweat appear on his forehead.

'Di-did I do something wrong?'
