Chapter 64: It’s Love
Olivia's soft eyes widened to the limit, then, "Hahaha!" through tears still flowing out, she laughed, she laughed harder than she ever had, curling up while holding her stomach.
Johan froze, 'Did the mental damage already take its toll...' his eyes tensed with worry.
Olivia wasn't the type to laugh. After her family's death, she never laughed. The only thing that made sense was... Olivia had gone mad.
"Th-That's so like you, I can read some of your thoughts you know!" Olivia dropped all formalities, her tone changing completely, as if she were talking to her child.
Johan's eyes narrowed, his face growing serious. 'Did she learn about... my secret?' He avoided thinking of it — that he was from another world, who parasitized the body of Johan — but she wouldn't laugh at that, would she?
"Tell me clearly," Johan said in a stiff voice, this time his tone a bit colder than before.
"Your first thought was that I was dying, your child was dying, which I appreciate... but after just a single thought, your mind directly went back to how you will exploit me, like you always have. How will my new body — that is equal to Miss Kirin's — help you win the coming fights more easily? How, due to my strong regeneration, I could be good bait to the monsters..." Olivia took a deep breath, then continued even more loudly.
"You even imagined how I could first be eaten by monsters, mushed to a paste, then regenerate inside their organs and kill the beast from within..." Olivia had stopped laughing, her eyes were red, tears still drying, but new ones threatening to gush out.
Johan's face went pale, his breathing heavy, as if his chest weighed 100 pounds. "I-I... fucked up, again." He felt like he had lost the ability to utter words.
