Kogetsu finds himself in darkness once more as he chuckles
'Hehe man when was the last time i was here"
"Oh right probably like a month ago"
Kogetsu groans
"Man Milins powerful and when I Think about she really reminded of Larita anyways...hold on..."
"Was she calling me darling...whatever she was probably enthralled by the feeling of battle"
Kogetsu rolls his eyes and sighs
"Yep just like Larita...hm?"
Kogetsu begins waking up as he appears in a comfy white bed when the first thing he saw was a boy with long messy brown hair
White skin,large circular glasses with white larvae or even worms around him
Kogetsu blinks a few times before saying
"Hi"
"Ahhhhhh!"
The boy yelps in terror before vanishing into the walls as they wriggled creepily
Kogetsu blinks a few times again
"Well guess that explains the wriggling walls"
Kogetsu gets up from his bed and walks out from the room before turning into another hall where it reveals a large cafeteria like place where the four originals
Tinrian and Kirasia and even Hexter as a table eating sandwiches
They were regular sandwiches with nothing special to them
Suddenly a flash of light particles appear around Kogetsu as Lintan wraps his arm around Kogetsu's neck
"Congrats Noob- i mean Kogetsu"
"You actually surprised us out there"
"Ummm thanks I guess"
Lintan smiles
"Your welcome"
Kogetsu looks around for abit before asking
"How long has it been since I was out and where's Milin?"
Arrowin zips passed before coming back as she does cart wheels in the air
"Oh it's been about 5 hours since you were out"
"Milin went out to the garden because she felt really bad"
Kogetsu blinks a few times before vanishes leaving rainbow particles
Lintan sighs
"I hope this love fiasco can finally end"
Lintan vanishes into light particles
Arrowin does the same but into the wind
Shuan just yawns before turning into a
Erora finishes her sandwich then snaps her fingers teleporting Tinrian and Kirasia to sit at the same table as her
She shows a mischievous smile before saying
"Tinrian you like Kirasia amd it's vice versa"
"I'm not Joking now sort it out"
Erora vanishes into a spatial rift leaving the two in silence
Outside where the full moon could be seen glowing blue hue
Milin sat on a bench with her usual white dress attire the illuminating glow reflected on her voluptuous figure
Kogetsu walks up to her and sits on the bench
"Hey Milin"
Milin had a downcast expression but responds
"Yeah Kogetsu"
"Thanks for the fight it really gave me in sight"
Milins expression becomes grim
"But I almost killed you"
Kogetsu chuckles lightly
"True but I've almost died countless times"
"Plus consider my loss as you getting back at me for Downgrading your rank"
Milin breaks out a small smile
"Not at all you helped me breakthrough to begin with"
Milin suddenly lays her head on his lap
"Plus I did get carried way when you helped me improve my good quality"
Kogetsu tilts his head
"Milin I've been meaning to ask you this..."
Behind one of the various pillars
The four originals poke there heads out
"His going to say it"
Arrowin whispers
Milin blinks a few times
"Sure hit me"
"How exactly does your goo Alchemy work?"
The four originals sigh but continue watching
Even Hexters eyes appear on the pillar
"Oh thats a simple question"
"Due to my unique body I can't heal but like Yeni said the first time we met I eminate a a sort of killing aura that affects most except those with special sole types"
Kogetsu blinks
"Huh...continue"
"The thing you saw when everything was turning hrey was actually the stored up killing energy that even affect the environment"
"Though only temporarily"
Milin amd Kogetsu lock eyes
"Another thing being goo Alchemy requires the user to constantly refine energy along with adding certain materials.You can form neutral goo and adding a specific type if essence allows you to make the corresponding goo"
Milin smiles with a complex expression in jer eyes
But to improve its quality you need to constantly refine it but I'm special"
"As long as im hit with an attack that corresponds with the goo and survive"
"My goo directly improves since my blood is one of the materials"
Kogetsu nods in understanding as Milin continues
"Which is why I was so excited when you used downgrade on me since I knew if I survived i could get stronger"
Milin touches Kogetsu cheeks eith jer slender happens
"It just so happened it also made me reach the peak of God-level"
"Until the same person snatched it away from me"
Kogetsu chuckles nervously
"Yeah sorry about that I had to do something to stop you"
Milin lets go of Kogetsu's face as she turns her direction to the yellow fields
"You know when I first arrived at the Alchemist Tower i unintentionally killed half of it's deciples"
Kogetsu stares at the moon
"Really what happened after that?"
Milins expression was melancholic
"Surprisingly master Tinsun wasn't mad not even Tinrian was"
"It turned out Master Tinsun knew it would happen"
"I also found out the people i killed we're actually planning a rebellion"
"Well that's stupid"
Kogetsu remarks
Milin giggles lightly
"Thats what I thought also"
"And so they introduced me to goo Alchemy and I was ecstatic"
"I had thought i found my calling which was true and so I stayed in the tower for the rest of my time"
"That's a cool story"
"Though i did want to ask if when you called me darling in the fight"
"Was it your true feelings or just the rush of battle?"
Milin stays silent amd in Kogetsu's head he was panicking
'Crap crap crap I didn't want to say that it just slipped out'
'Damn it im so screwed'
'What will she say how do I respond'
'What–'
Milin interrupted his thoughts as she says with a genuine and thoughtful voice
"They were how I felt in the moment"
"I tend to voice my true feelings when I get really excited"
Milin gets up and lovk eyes with Kogetsu
"Kogetsu...I love you"
The four originals due a fist bump silently cheering
Kogetsu stares at her for a moment
"Milin...I–"
Suddenly the whole area Shook as the building began cracking
Within the dark cavern a small piece of black red goo was gnawing the seal
Hexter smiles as everyone began running down a stair case
Milin and Kogetsu conversation abruptly end as they dash towards the inside passing the four originals
The four originals clench there fist
"Damn it so close"
They say in unison before dashing insides as well
