Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 137

"I did notice a Whirlwind standing behind my car. Was that really yours?" Esmi asked in surprise.
"Yeah," Ryder replied.
"I guess I really misunderstood you then. If you can afford that car, then you definitely wouldn't need my help," Esmi chuckled as she said to Ryder, but she was still embarrassed about the fact that she offered help to him without knowing everything.
Time kept passing slowly as they watched the scene outside. Both of them stayed in silence.
After 45 minutes, they got back to the ground as they stepped out of the cabin.
"Where do you want to go next?" Esmi asked Ryder.
"Really? It's already the time to leave," Ryder said as he looked at his watch. It was already after 2 Pm.
"Didn't you say that you would extend my time to 6 pm because I helped you?' Esmi asked as she glared at him.
"I did offer that, but you chose another option. Don't you remember?" Ryder chuckled as he held her hands and walked towards the exit.
Esmi simply pouted but didn't reply to him.
Ryder stopped near an ice-cream shop along the way.
"Let's end this date on a sweet note. Which one do you want?" Ryder asked Esmi.
"Chocolate," Esmi replied without even looking towards him.
Ryder took a chocolate Ice Cream and gave it to her.
Esmi took the ice cream, but she didn't stop glaring at him.
"Come on; There's no need to be salty. We can have another date some other time," Ryder told her with a wry smile on his face.
He turned towards the exit and started walking that way when he noticed something that made him shocked. He stopped on his tracks as he turned back.

He saw Alice in the Amusement Park with one of her female friends, coming in his direction. She still hadn't noticed him.
"I think I forgot something. You get to the car; I'll be right back," Ryder said to Esmi before he started running deeper into the Amusement Park, away from the exit.
"Why is she here? Just my luck that I had to choose this place," Ryder cursed as he continued running.
Alice looked ahead and noticed a person running. She didn't know why, but she felt as if she found that back familiar.
The thing that saved Ryder was that Alice hadn't seen what clothes he wore before leaving home. The only time she saw him at home today was when he was without any clothes. Since then, she didn't see Ryder even when he left because of her embarrassment.
She didn't think that the person was Ryder, but she did feel that the person had a Physique similar to Ryder.
"What happened?" Alice's friend asked her as she saw her standing still.
"Oh, nothing. Let's continue," Alice said, smilingly as she continued ahead.
Esmi ate her ice cream as she walked towards the exit. At one point, Esmi and Alice walked past each other without realizing who the other person was.
Ryder was back in a corner of the amusement park, waiting for Alice to leave.
As soon as he saw Alice move deeper into the park and away from him, he walked out.
He started walking towards the exit, but he had to stop once more as he heard a voice. It was Janus' Voice.
"Awesome. Now I have to stalk someone. Are you giving me training about how to be a criminal?" Ryder muttered with a wry smile on his face.

'At Least I don't have to buy credits for that Deity Phone. I wonder who I'll be able to call,' Ryder thought.
He started walking in the direction Alice went in.
Ryder brought his phone out of his pocket. He wanted to inform Esmi that he wouldn't be able to come, but before he could even unlock the phone, it started ringing. The screen was showing Esmi's name.
Ryder picked up the call.
"How long are you going to take? Come fast; I'm getting bored in the car," Esmi told him as soon as he picked up.
"I was just about to call you. I don't think that I would be able to come. I met a friend here, and things are troublesome. I don't think I can leave him," Ryder told Esmi. "How about you leave alone? It's better than waiting for who knows how long. I'll call you later."
"Alright. If you're going to be busy with your friend, I'll leave," Esmi replied before she disconnected the phone.
Ryder walked for a little more before he found Alice.
Coincidentally, he was near a mask shop as well that sold cute anime character masks.
Ryder purchased one of the masks that belonged to a bald anime character who was super powerful. He was called Single Attack Man, a favorite of kids nowadays.
He wore the mask and walked closer to Alice.
Even though he was allowed to stay 100 meters away from her, he decided to be only 40 meters away as she was drinking coffee on the same table that Ryder and Esmi sat at.
He walked towards the coffee shop and ordered a coffee, but he didn't take his eyes off of them.
He got a cup of coffee and selected a table that was around 30 meters away from Alice's table.
He watched them subtly while holding the cup of coffee in his hand.
"I'm so glad I killed that terrorist. I didn't even know that Alice was about to come here. Even if I stopped the bomb, I wouldn't feel safe about her safety if that guy was running out in the open," Ryder muttered as he watched her. "I wouldn't even be able to rewind time if something had happened to her."
After some time, Alice and her friend sat up and started walking away.
Ryder also stood up and threw the coffee in the dustbin before he started following her.
Alice went to the swing ride next with her friend.
Ryder couldn't help but smile as he saw her preference when it came to rides in the park.
As he was watching her, he saw a man walk towards her.
Although the man didn't look strange, Ryder could see that his eyes were looking towards the girls.
