In the middle of the night, my [Air Sense] pick up an individual in front of the door. My first thoughts are ‘enemy attack’, or perhaps the overuse common fantasy novel situation the ‘woman attack’ but let’s not jump to conclusions first, let’s identify it. By using [identify] and [Air medium], the individual behind the door is just Ragoniad. Whew. What does she need in the middle of the night just the two of us? Ohw, don’t tell me that’s..but let’s confirm it first, no need to jump conclusions again.

I walk towards the door, open it and saw my beautiful Latina, not officially though, in her night dress. She just wears a simple white gown revealing her cleavage and her body curves. ‘Sexy’. I was mesmerized for few seconds, and then I snapped back to reality, it’s not good to stair a woman, I might get a painful kick or punch. If I was a normal person, my junior will awaken or worse attack her, but thanks to my [Body Alteration], I can turn on or off my lust so we are good.

[junior = manhood]

“Good evening Joel”

“Good evening beautiful..err… I mean Ragoniad”

She blush a little making me blush also, the situation become silent and a bit of awkward. So I speak to break it.

*cough*“What do you need?”

“Sorry to disturb your sleep…, I have something to say to you…. if it’s okay?”

While shyly speaking, damn she is so cute and at the same time she’s so sexy. What should I call her sexy or cute or cutely sexy or sexy cuteness? Man, I was lost at there, let’s breathe in and breathe out. Clear my mind.

“Yeah, it’s okay, please take your time and I guess this is not a proper place to talk between us, a man and a woman”

Currently we are in my designated room so let’s get out here first to avoid some trouble in the future; I might get an annoying rumor that may affect me or worse Ragoniad. It’s not good to public eyes if a woman visits a man’s room in the middle of the night. We go towards the balcony since the other rooms inside the castle have no light or if we light it up we may cause some disturbance.

After we reach the balcony, where there are four seats and one table, the moon provides us the lighting making the scene more romantic but I think Ragoniad’s intentions is not romantic so let’s listen to her first before we celebrate this lovely scenery.

Ragoniad’s POV

_______________________________

We approach the balcony like Joel suggested. At first, I want to talk to him about some serious things in his room but it seems it was no good to do it there. He suggest to move to other location which makes my view of him as a caring man or just being a gentleman which is nice but whenever I remember what he did during Brovo’s event, the torture, I have doubts if he really was a gentleman. But it’s okay as long as he was in front of his enemies. The view and the aura outside the balcony is so romantic making me mesmerized for a moment and wish that we do this every night, what am I thinking. I am here to say some serious things or to confess some embarrassing ones. I hope he will not get angry or look down on me.

Okay here we go. I steel my heart and readied my words, encourage myself to do this, I already decided to say these things and I am ready to accept his reply or any reaction.

“JOEL!!, I am not what you think of, Truth is I act like a warrior, yes like a warrior holding a sword or a spear or a weapon, not fans or flowers and wearing armor instead of frilly dresses. I dislike girly stuffs, or to be exact I don’t want to wear girly dresses cause it hinders my movements because I am warrior you see. I only act girly in front of you like normal girls do to impress you. Since Brovo asks me to bring you, I thought that I will just normally hunt you down like I do every day, hunting. But…but after looking and searching for you, I can’t get out you of my head, during my search, I always remember your face which is annoying but after few days I realize that whenever I remember you, I feel my heart beating faster, there’s an unusual heat in my face and my heart. I cannot understand it but the feeling is pleasant and warm and and….nice. “

I pause for a moment, trying to catch my breath and speak as I am not done yet without any hesitation. I want him to hear all of me.

“My parents say that its ‘love’ but I refuse to believe it since I am a warrior and I am not good in house chores, I hate cleaning, I don’t know how to cook, I don’t know laundry, I don’t know how to dance, I have no manners like a lady that you usually know. My family warns me before that I should act like a proper lady but I refuse to listen until I met you. I am not ashamed of not acting like a proper lady, I didn’t regret of being a warrior, and to tell you, I am proud of it before I met you. They say that woman is ugly if she can’t do household chores and I don’t care about it because I am a warrior before I met you. I only know sword, martial arts, killing and yes I only know how to hurt or kill others which to others dislike it especially a woman did it. But since I met you, I have a doubt If I really regret of acting not lady like and choose the warrior path. I failed as a woman right?”

I pause again to catch my breath and I already state my embarrassing side and this next one is the heaviest of all.

“Before I will hear your reaction I can only say that I was truly in love with you, the greatest feeling that I experience in my life. I LOVE YOU but whenever I see you talking to other girls I feel irritated but I control myself because I LOVE YOU.”

End of POV

______________________________________________

What the? I cannot follow what she said or I almost forgot to understand all those confessions. I was so excited and happy in hearing those especially the last part. The embarrassing ones and the ‘love you’ part which has a nice ring to it. Wow, I may not know her but I know that she really is an honest person. She is a serious type person from what I have perceived. Man, you make me really fall in love with you.

I move forward to embrace her to make her comfortable and she was trembling from all those confessions, she’s really nervous and embarrassed. Man this situation is getting more romantic, I mean this is a romantic event. This is one of my life’s climaxes. Yehaa.

“I love you too. You are not ugly and you are not failure as a woman instead you impress me. Don’t care what is written in your history, as long as you are here with me. I don’t care who you are, where you from, what you did, as long as you love me, who you are, where you from, don’t care what you did, as long as you love me, baby”

I know, I know that my reply is from a great music of 90’s but who cares, I just being resourceful here and I admit I am nervous and I almost mind blanked from this heart throbbing situation. Anyway, after I said those words which make me nervous, she on the other hand was blushing and hugs me in return with tears in her eyes, me too I slightly have a tears in my eyes but that’s due the flow of the moment here. Man, I swear I hate drama but right now it’s the greatest drama of my life.

“Really? What’s your reason in loving me? Even you know my embarrassing sides”

That’s a valid question, now let’s be resourceful now.

“I know that it might sound more a little crazy but I believe, I knew I loved you before I met you, I think I dreamed you into Life, I knew I loved you before I met you, I have been waiting all my life”

I am really thankful of my [Earth knowledge] cause I can impress the girl that I really love and I want her to feel secure and be comfortable. I hope that she was impressed by my words.

“You make me happy, thank you for understanding me. I’m glad that I fell in love with you. But why is it that your reply has rhyming words like a song but I don’t ever hear that kind of song or a poem, maybe I was just mistaken. I am really impressed on how you able to do that, it makes me love you more!! ”

She hugs me while jumping just like a kid. Man, I see different sides of her, her bold side and kid side. I think I see her as a cute kid rather than a fearsome warrior. How should I answer her? Tell her the truth that might hurt her or not? Okay here goes nothing.

“Ragoniad, actually it’s from a song, a great music if you heard it. I am sorry if my reply is like that but my feelings are true, genuine, truer than those words, I hope you feel it and reach it in your heart. And don’t worry about other girls, you are the only one for me, god gave me you”

“It’s okay, and please don’t fluster me anymore or add those song lyrics of yours, I know that you don’t lie even I don’t use my dragon sense.”

Whew, Im glad that she’s an understandable one. We are still hugging feeling the soft of her bountiful chest and her fragrance but I notice that she hugs me badly to the point that my back or my spine will crack. But thanks to my modified body, I was able to withstand it. Let’s gently ask her to lessen a bit. I don't know why but i love fighting type girls. I am not into fragile ones I think. It seems she look down to herself. Let's make her proud of her choice.

“Don't worry about things like 'lady manners' it's just a small stuff you know and your beautiful. I think I'm in love with you not because of your lady acting but because your honest and a warrior. I like warrior type girls you know. "

"really?"

"Yeah, so what are we? Are we officially dating?”

“YEAH!!, we were getting MARRIED!!!”

At those words, I fell silent. Marriage is the end of my youthful days, No!!! more responsibilities, I’ll be facing. Okay calm down, it’s okay if I marry her but I have a mission to complete, and not even started yet. I know that we love each other so we are going to this point but let’s make things in order first so that I will not regret it later.

“Can we discuss about it?”

“About marriage?”

She excitedly says it.

“Yes, you know in our world, I mean back in my old world”

“Wait wait old world? You are not here? Truly?”

She interrupts me, but its normal since I was from other world. Let’s start to talk, it’s my turn to confess.

“Yes, sorry if I tell you just now. I am from other world. I will entertain any questions as long as possible”

She looked at me in surprise; of course, anyone will get surprise so I offered her to take a seat to start our discussion.

“Your name is not fake right?”

“Of course not, even I came from other world”

Well, she’s smart in asking the most important question of all, my name. Hahaha. I thought she will ask about my world.

“Wow…Okay about your magic that you display earlier and that ‘strange light’ months ago. Is that your world’s magic? Cause its so powerful and I almost can’t feel mana from it”

“Unfortunately, my world has no ‘magic’. We rely only to technology. You can say that my world is advanced in technology while this world has magic. My magic is not really purely magic it’s the product of science”

Her expression tells me that she can’t believe what she heard, ‘no magic’, ‘advance technology’, ‘science’. Man, I love her somewhat surprising face.

“Advance technology? How can you people live without magic? Does your life there harder since there is no magic?”

“Well, my people develop advance technology that makes our life easier and faster. We develop machines, gadgets and useful and harmful devices that we use for specific purposes. Our technology is a product of science.”

“What’s ‘sayans’?”

“It’s science, my dear. It’s the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. Since we come to this, I will tell you about my world.”

I spent almost an hour describing my world, about my life, the people’s lives. I also discuss her some history lessons, transportation, culture, countries, sun, moon, medicine, entertainment, and many more. She was so eager to listen from me even the sun is not up yet and it seems she is not sleepy because of her excitement in learning my world, in learning new knowledge. Of course, the positive side, I didn’t tell her the negative side yet.

“Amazing, to think that you have kind of world. I wish to live there if possible”

“Well, for first timers they will like it but my world is getting harder to live on you know. Once you already familiarize with the environment and know the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’ side. I think both our worlds is just the same the only difference is only magic and cultural level I think.”

“Really? So there are wars or conflicts there. What a shame I thought your world is wonderful but it turns out that it’s just the same here.”

“Not literally. You know back in my old world, we have weapons that can kill a soldier in an instant without getting closer or annihilate a group or town with a single button”

“wow, how frightening. What are those?”

With her excitement I explain to her about ‘guns’ and ‘bombs’. I didn’t literally discuss her by detail since it’s too tiresome; I just talk to her in a generalized view. Explain to her the advantage and disadvantage of it but I explain to her properly the destructive effect of modern warfare.

“So you are saying that wars there are almost like hide-and-seek or search and destroy. Unlike here we need face to face confrontation to show our courage and bravery. Are your soldiers coward?”

“Hahaha…our soldiers are brave enough..even respect to some..especially the war heroes. Its like the style of war is change. Here you fight with swords and magic face to face but in our world, you will be killed instantly if you display yourself in the open field. Our soldiers are more disciplined, brave and smart.”

“What do you mean? What style of war change?”

“Okay soldiers here are like cannon fodders or just meat shields to some higher ranks right? And eventually become deserters or bandits that raid some pitiful village right?”

“Well that only occurs to humanoids but us dragons never desert or raid a village. We have pride to protect you know.”

“Okay, I know about your dragon warriors but that’s how war in this world works right? Our soldiers are not like that they are trained properly to protect their nation not to become meat shields and to answer your question our style of war is called ‘Modern Warfare’”

“Modern warfare?”

“yeah I discuss to you before about our weapons. Our war is in modern style. Eliminate the enemy immediately, not like here that you need more time to kill an enemy. But I tell you that only the style of war changes. The war itself never changes, war never changes.”

With those words, she finally understands about modern warfare and traditional one. The only difference is the style of war not the war itself. There are no real winners in war, all are losers. She keeps me asking about my world’s warfare because she is a warrior or warrior at heart. But the more we talk the more I see that she has no lady manners but rather an innocent child that loves to fight or war. And that makes her more adorable.

“Next, your goal. Why you are here?”

“Well to make long story short, I am here to do my job or mission and that order is came from True God”

“True God?”

Man, I say about long story short earlier but it seems I need to tell her from the start to make questions lesser and make her to understand more.

“So in other words, you prioritize your mission over me?”

She say it with slight anger. I can feel it and she’s right.

“Sorry about that but please understand that I need to do this. Don’t worry about our relationship we have long life span and we are not easily be killed right?”

“Okay, I’ll wait but promise me no cheating with other girls or else you know what will happen to you”

“Okay I promise, please release your hands in my neck”*cough*

She eventually releases me from her ‘death grip’ . Sigh, women sure are scary. Is this how Thoss felt when his wife gets angry? I hope I will not like him in the future. That’s no no, I refuse that kind of future.

Luckily, Ragoniad is an understanding one she easily understand my current situation and she’s willing to wait, wow, as long as I remain faithful or else I’ll be killed, she state earlier that she only knows hurting or killing others or the warrior path. Let’s not make our future lover our future enemy. I promise myself to remain faithful. Please help me God.

We change our topic to food, culture, and entertainment related things. Like before she was amazed by wonderful devices like “pop”, “hamburger”, “TV”, “radio”, “internet” and many more. Then I show to her my very own smartphone where the games are still intact, I let her play it so she can understand it or appreciate it at least. Man, she is like a kid playing the phone. She takes pictures to me, herself and with us together. Then I introduce to her the app games like zombie tsunami, fallout shelter but she was more interested in simple but enjoying ones like minion rush, subway surfer and candy crush .

Of course all those games are offline since there is no internet here. Internet means other computers connected to each other, not the wifi signal or your monthly subscription, those are your ISP(Internet Service Provider). Please don’t confuse those two things ‘Internet’ and ISP. What the heck? Who I was talking to? Let’s move on.

How does my smartphone last until now where I almost one year here? I modify it by using my skills, I changed the battery to self-sufficient one. Self-sufficient means it keeps provide power to itself so there’s no need to charge. I use the ‘fuel cell’ concept back in my world to make my phone last for thousands of years and added the solar powered feature as a backup power. I modify the memory and cpu to make my smartphone run faster and faster and faster with no heating issues. I mean it absorbs heat to recharge the fuel cell so my phone is not just faster but its way more cooler. Hahaha If my phone was release into the market in my old world, I bet all people will buy it no matter how expensive it was.

Imagine you can play games all day long, all month long, all year long, all years long, day and night. Yep, because my phone is faster making all heavy apps running smoothly together with my unique cooling system which at the same time power system, no more f*cking lags. Hahaha. I’ll be rich if I was in my old world. But I am here; maybe I’ll make a phone company and start selling to wealthy people and nobles. Man, I imagine a king playing angry birds forgetting his ruling kingdom work. HAHAHA. Merchants will be busy texting and playing my phone forgetting the customers in front of him. Hah. Let’s forget that nonsense.

Until the sun rises, Ragoniad is still playing my phone and she is sitting in my lap. Wow, I never thought the wonders of a butt. But let’s start making plans now and today’s a fruitful day or a progressive one since we come to our agreements which are nice making our relationship more wholesome.

“War and phone huh”

As I mutter those words, I started drafting my plans while stroking my beloved’s hair who is still busy playing selfie.
