Chapter 331: Home (1/2)
The military decided to drop them off at the school since they didn't know whether they could disturb their family or not. It also came from the consensus of the entire group.
When they came out, Ellen quickly waved her hand and walked away. ”Alright. Goodbye, everyone. I need to go home as soon as possible. Also, Theo, thank you for everything. See you later!”
She disappeared in an instant with a happy face, so there shouldn't be a need to worry about her.
Since her best friend had gone, she decided to return too. ”Alright. It's time for me to go back.”
After Alea, Sihan and Laust took off without saying anything, leaving only Theo and Phyrill again.
”This is like last time, eh? There are only you and me.”
”How is your body condition?”
”It's surprisingly comfortable enough. Maybe my body has gotten accustomed to Lycanthrope Transformation? I am not sure. Though, I do still feel uncomfortable from time to time.”
”Hmm?” Theo narrowed his eyes and nodded, ”At least you are alright. You secretly snuck to the hospital a few times during the night after all…”
”Ahaha, you noticed it?” Phyrill chuckled. ”I am embarrassed.”
”It's nothing. Since you are fine, I'm going back first.” Theo shrugged.
”Yeah. Goodbye Theo. Thank you for this opportunity. I'm glad that I met you… Joker. I'm afraid Alea has suspected your identity too, considering she hasn't met the real joker, only you.”
”Who knows? And it's not like I am afraid if my identity is discovered.” Theo started walking away.
Phyrill smiled and saw him off until he couldn't see his back anymore. After Theo disappeared, he walked to the bench on the side of the road and sat on it with a tired face. Sweats covered his forehead as his face turned pale.
”Well, how long will I be hospitalized after this?”

Meanwhile, when Alea reached her home, her father and grandfather quickly leaped to her. ”Uoh! My (grand)daughter!”
However, a woman in her late thirties appeared behind them and smacked their heads, knocking them to the ground. ”Don't bother her. She is tired, so let her rest first. Also, I have prepared your favorite food, dear…”
”Mom.” Alea smiled and hugged her. ”I'm back.”
”Yes. Welcome home. Let's come in.” She patted her head while saying, ”And congratulations for the third place.”
”Ehehe, I couldn't do anything without Theo's help.”
”Mom is interested in him now. I have watched his performance too.” She chuckled. ”When will you introduce him to mom?”
”Don't tease me.” Alea pouted and looked away.
”Haha. Let's enter first.”
”Yes.”
