Chapter 709 An Inconvenient Situation
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
A second ago the joyful Marlis had suddenly become incredibly angry as even the devil might have been frightened of her if he\'d been in the bar then.
Her face contorted in a furious as she said while gritting her teeth, "Osvald... Why did you come here...? I don\'t care that you\'re my friend, I won\'t let anyone ruin this moment!"
Space trembled as green spheres of fire appeared next to Marlis that grew larger and stronger by the second.
Osvald was at a loss as he didn\'t understand what he had done wrong.
"Calm down, nothing serious happened." Sven said in a calm voice with a slight smile on his face as he pulled Marlis to him in a gentle manner.
Marlis\' eyes went wide as she clenched her hands into fists, grabbing Sven by his jacket.
"I just wanted it to be special..." Marlis muttered as she tilted her head in with a guilty look.
"It\'s okay. It\'s going to be special since it has to be the two of us to make it happen. It\'s rather odd that you paid attention to Osvald, but you didn\'t care for Wain." Sven muttered as he looked at the door behind the bar.
Whoooooosh.
Sven lifted Marlis into his arms, headed for the door, and turned to Osvald before entering, "Sorry, we\'ll have to be alone for a while."
Osvald just nodded while in confusion. He had seen and heard too many strange things at the last minute.
"Well... It\'s probably best if I don\'t interfere with it..." Osvald muttered while scratching the back of his head in a confused manner.
He looked at Wain and uttered, "Agh... You\'re here after all. I wonder what\'s going to happen next? It\'s one of those rare occasions when even Sven isn\'t sure what\'s going to happen..."
...
Click.
A few hours later, Sven and Marlis came out of the room. Marlis\' face shone as brightly as the sun and there was a happy smile on her face.
Sven\'s appearance was almost no different, only on his skin, there were red marks from the ropes.
He adjusted his collar, looked at Wain, and said, "He\'s completely exhausted, even though he\'ll be alive, we need to bring him to his senses as quickly as possible, or it could cause serious consequences."
"Huh, don\'t worry, I\'ve already transferred some of my energy to him, so nothing bad should happen to him." Osvald said with a confident look while holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
Sven turned to Osvald, and for a moment, his eyes widened.
There were plenty of empty liquor bottles on the bar, all of which Osvald had drunk, and he wasn\'t going to stop there.
"Osvald... You\'ve always been completely ignorant of what manners are. Did you really have to empty half my bar?" Sven asked as he tilted his head in a confused manner.
"Hahahahahaha, sorry, I just don\'t like to wait, you know. I can\'t train here, so... the only thing left for me to do is to take advantage of the bar assortment!" Osvald laughed before tilting the bottle to his mouth as the scarlet liquid poured down.
"Okay, I can easily recover it anyway." Sven sighed as his ring shone brightly.
He turned to the bar and waved his hand. Bottles appeared on the empty spots that Osvald drank, as the used liquor disappeared from the bar.
"Should I cure Wain?" Marlis asked as she touched Sven\'s hand.
"Sure, it would be nice if you helped, but aren\'t you supposed to be tired? After all, you broke the barrier in Dragon World, only you can do that, Osvald and I could never have done it." Sven uttered while looking into Marlis\' eyes.
\'Is he worried about me...? Marlis muttered inwardly as her eyes flashed brightly.
"I haven\'t fought anyone there, well... except one Dragon, but it didn\'t take me much energy to do it, so I can easily heal Wain!" Marlis exclaimed in an excited manner as she headed toward Wain.
She waved her hand as a magical green circle appeared in front of her from which two monsters resembling carnivorous plants emerged. They bit Wain\'s hands as streams of blood poured down.
"Huh, Marlis, I never understood why your healing methods often involve pain? Does it really have to?" Osvald asked with a confused look while looking at Wain.
"It\'s just more effective, I\'m a doctor, so I know the best way, not a big deal." Marlis said quickly as she waved her hand in a careless manner.
\'What a little liar...\' Sven muttered inwardly with a slight smile on his face.
Gradually Wain\'s wounds were recovering as well as his energy reserve during the battle was completely depleted.
"All set!" Marlis exclaimed as she raised her hands, then her eyes closed and she fell to the ground.
"Agh... I asked her about it..." Sven sighed while shaking his head.
"Marlis never changes, she\'s always trying to impress you and she gives it her all." Osvald said with a slight smile on his face, "Sometimes I envy her tenacity."
Sven headed over to Marlis, picked her up in his arms, and headed for the door behind the bar.
"I agree, however, Marlis still can\'t understand one simple thing. I have long been impressed enough to consider her one of the most amazing people that I have ever met, no... not even that... To me, she is actually unique." Sven said before opening the door.
"Huh, why don\'t you reciprocate her feelings then?" Osvald grinned as a massive cigar appeared in his hand.
"Well, since I\'ve already started saying things like that, rather than mulling the conversation over in my head, I\'m ready to do it." Sven muttered as he raised his head.
"I\'ll be happy for you, tell her that when she wakes up." Osvald said, taking out his lighter and lighting his cigar.
"Sure." Sven nodded as he went inside.
Neither Osvald nor Sven noticed it, but Marlis smiled slightly as she woke up almost immediately, but didn\'t show it when she realized Sven was carrying her in his arms.
