I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 205 - Decision (3)



In the end, Kate was too scared to be rejected as a woman, so she didn't do anything and just helped Billy with his research earnestly. The only problem was that the information regarding states very far away from them was rather old. Billy felt like a fool waiting for more than that.

Before long, Billy noticed that it was the middle of the afternoon, and they had skipped their lunch. Aura probably assumed that they weren't hungry and didn't send anyone to bother them.

"I suppose any information is better than nothing… even if it is old," Billy said. "Let's finish things here, Kate… Kate?"

Billy felt a gentle touch on his left shoulder, and then he realized that Kate had fallen asleep right here. It was a bit too soon for Kate to feel sleepy, so Billy imagined that she was trying to appeal to him, but then she began to snore.

"How can you snore while sleeping like this?" Billy asked and then laughed.

Billy was no fool. He knew that his friends worked to give them some time alone. Still, that twenty-one years old woman didn't know what to do with it.

"Good grief… why are you wasting your youth waiting for someone like me?" Billy asked while watching Kate sleeping.

Billy knew that love wasn't exactly necessary for a relationship to work in a world like that. Only commitment and some tolerance would be fine, then Edward would have an easy time finding her a partner. Still, if Edward has been looking for one, then Kate refused them all. Thinking about that, Billy felt a sweet fragrance entering his nostril. It seemed that Kate also enjoyed a good bath yesterday. While looking at her, Billy wondered why he never felt anything for her aside from the usual bond of friends that they had. In terms of looks alone, she was almost unmatched, she smelled good, she was hardworking, and she had been waiting for him for three years and probably had the resilience to endure his bullshit for the other three. They had a certain difference in mental age, but what about it? Billy was pretty much a child for trying to ignore such a beauty on his side for so long.

In the end, Billy carried Kate in his arms to her room. It would be fun to see her embarrassed if she were to wake up now, but she never did it. After putting her on the bed, Billy held her right hand while he was reading a book. Her arm, frail and delicate hands… Still, Billy didn't feel much of anything aside from the usual.

After a while, Kate turned to the side and grabbed his hand with both of hers. She smiled and blushed as if she was satisfied with something. It wouldn't be awesome if Billy could see that every morning. While thinking about that, Billy's heart began to race.

"She indeed has some devilish charms as well…" Billy thought.

After a while, Kate woke up and then realized what she was doing, but since Billy didn't notice her opening her eyes. She decided to pretend that she still was sleeping and then slowly move away from him, but the moment that she put her plan in action.

"There is no need to pretend that you are sleeping," Billy said and then closed the book. "You aren't snoring anymore, so it is clear that you are wide awake."

"Sorry… I did something shameful while I was sleeping and fell asleep when we were supposed to be working," Kate said with her head down.

"We didn't make any progress anyway, and it was me who held your hand while you were sleeping," Billy said.

"... What for?" Kate asked.

"I was using you as a guinea pig for my devilish experiments," Billy replied and then approached his face to Kate, who became red like a tomato. "I guess it is working… this is my weakness. Now, let's make you forget that you heard this."

Billy kissed Kate on the cheek, and then she passed out. A woman passing out for something as simple as that… she had a long way to go, but at least Billy confirmed something. That those girls could also snatch his heart… Regardless, after a while, Kate woke up, but she didn't know if she had dreamt or not.

"Did you just…" Kate said.

"No, it wasn't a dream," Billy replied. "I would feel guilty letting someone like you wait for me any longer."

"So… you aren't going to treat me like a kid anymore?" Kate asked.

"That will depend on you and what you want," Billy replied.

"... What if I say that I want to marry you?" Kate asked.

"Then let's get married once things calm down between the states a bit," Billy said.

"Did you eat something bad?" Kate asked.

"What a way to screw up at the goal like, Kate," Billy said. "I just have been putting a lot of thought on this because of those two stupid love birds, and like I said, making you wait any longer would make me feel like I am no man. I could prove to you about how serious I am, but you pass out with a single cheek kiss, imagine if I do something beyond that."

"Wh-wh-what would be something beyond that?" Kate asked while looking like she was about to pass out again.

"If I didn't know any better, I would say that you are pretty interested in that," Billy said. "Let's make things right while you control your thirstiness."

"I don't want water, so what are you talking about?" Kate asked.

"You really don't want to hear me explaining that right now…" Billy said.

Kate was innocent beyond her age, but that was because she spent a good part of her life sheltered.. Still, that wasn't a bad thing per se… it was quite charming to have a girl who passed out at the small signs of affection.
