"Hey Nil. Why are you looking outside? Are you spacing out again?" Aiden asked Nil.
"Yeah, about that guy, I think I just saw him dragging her into his car and drove away." Nil replied.
"Wait, you mean Kathy? Then what the heck are you doing here? We have to follow him." She panic and rush toward her car.
"What are you two doing? Get on. We have to chase them." She called Aiden and Nil.
All three of them get on the car and drive toward where that guy drove away after Nil told them the direction he drove away.
"Ah crap, we know the direction he drove away but we don't know where he want. I don't want to lose another of my friend because of him." Stacy said while tearing up.
"Do you have any idea where he might went Nil?" Aiden asked.
" Crap, just drive toward the highway leading to the forest." Nil replied.
"Are you sure? How do you know about that?" Two of them asked.
"Just go. I can't explain to you right now." Nil said.
After reaching near the path in the forest. Nil told them to stop the car and follow him.
"Hey, Nil. I hate to ask this but, how do you know the specific place? You are not one of his men right?" Stacy asked Nil.
"Sigh, you guys ask too many questions. I guess now I know why she got annoyed and send me away."
"She hate you?" Aiden said.
"Nothing. Also I tole you guys beat that guy's ass to save Kathy before. No way I would work for that lunatic." Nil replied.
"Look! It's her. She's running toward us. Kathy, over here." Stacy shouted.
Katherine ran toward them but she ran passed them while crying.
"Kathy where are you going." She said.
A group of men appeared from the direction where Katherine ran from.
"You useless shits. You can't even catch a single girl." A mysterious man said to the guy beside him.
"Boss, there are others over there. I think we are busted." One of his underling said.
"You piece of shit. You said no one know this place and no one saw you coming here."
"I swear I don't know how they know this place and I swear there is no one following me when I got here." Mayor's son said to mysterious man.
"Whatever, it's just more products for us anyway. But you won't get any extra for that." He said.
"You two go and chase Kathy. I will hold them off." Nil said to the two.
"But, you alone..." Stacy said.
"She is more important for you two. Also you tow won't be able to do anything is you are here anyway. Just drove to the police station after you get her. GO!" Nil said to Aiden and Stacy.
The two of them ran toward Kathy after Nil said that.
"Still trying to be a hero huh. You were just lucky to beat me once but now you are screwed. Try and dodge these bullets..."
"One second." Before he finished talking, Nil threw an explosive at him and he was blown into pieces. The explosion also know away other men with him.
"You asshole, So you got a grenade. Shoot..." The leader tried to shoot at Nil but he was also blown away by another explosive.
"Just how many..." The following bandits were also blown away one by one.
"Okay, I cleared the area. Maybe there are some victims still in that house. May be I should go... Crap, the cliff."
He remembered about the cliff and rushed toward it using the camera.
When he reached there. Katherine was falling into the cliff but he reached there just in time with the help of the camera and caught her hand.
"Guys help me pull her up. I can't hold that long."
Three of them pull Katherine up.
"Just go back to the bakery. I will catch you up later. Also don't call the police."
Stacy tried to asked him but before she could ask, Nil ran back toward the house. He searched around but luckily, there were no more victims but only drugs and cash. There are no more bandits either. So, he just decided head back.
"You are back. What's happened there? Also, about the explosions." Stacy asked Nil.
"Just say, I handle them. I don't want to talk about it right now. Also want's with her."
"She won't talk to any of us. She just sat there and crying."
"Where is Aiden?"
"She told him to ho home so he just went back looking down."
"Ah crap. Anyway, see you tomorrow for now. Could you help staying with her tonight?" Nil asked.
"Sure, I was also about to do the same. But could you go back to my house and feed my cat? Here's my key."
"Fine but you really should stop trusting a stranger like me too much. But also, thanks for trusting me."
"What are you talking about? We are friends."
"Right..."
Next day, Kathy does come to the bakery but she just sat in the corner. So, just three of them manage the bakery for the day.
At noon,
*Beep Beep* The card is making alarm sound.
"The heck."
"Come back before 10 in that place." The goddess said.
"Wait but why? Also I didn't know you can do that. Why do I need to come back?"
"Well, in a nutshell, you will damage that world. If you stay any longer than 100 hours. So come back as quickly as possible." She hang up afterward.
"I just starts to like this world... Well, everything must come to an end anyway. Both good and bad. What can I even do.... Why am I saying those weird things again."
Closing time,
"Hey Aiden, why don't you bring Kathy to look around the town. I think it would cheer her up. Also you said you would do anything for her since she help her right" Nil said.
"Oh ok. Wait how do you..."
"I'll help closing with Stacy."
Aiden bring Katherine for a walk. She hesitates at first but agreed to go with him.
After a while, they both also left the bakery. after leaving, Nil saw a young girl looking at the poster in front of the bakery.
"Hey kid what cha doing here." Nil asked the girl.
"I was wondering if they are still hiring."
"Sure we do, come here at 8 next morning. Also tell them Nil left. You can start working next day."
"Oh, thank you. See you tomorrow." The girl smiled happily and left.
"I don't think I could say farewell in their face." Nil mumbles and walk around the town for the last time.
After reaching the park, he found some familiar faces.
He saw Aiden and Katherine. Before he could say anything, Katherine kissed Aiden. At that moment a small shining crystal appeared before them. But they don't seems to notice it.
"It's shining." Nil said. And then the crystal move toward him and he catch it.
"What are you?"
"I know right they are shining." Stacy appeared behind him and said it.
He quickly hide the crysyal.
"I meant that... never mind"
"You really did a great job making them walk together. Although even I didn't know how they ended up like this. So, now what do we do." Stacy said.
"Oh how about my cat? Did it scratch you? I forgot to tell you that he hate strangers. He didn't ran away right?"
"No, it didn't. It seems pretty chill with me. It even let me pet and purr around me."
"That's weird but I guess he like you."
"So, do you want to see him again?.."
"Here's your key."
"Oh, you can keep it. It's just a spare one anyway."
"Also I have to go now bye."
"Wait..." Stacy tried to hold Nil but he just ran away quickly.
After reaching quite far and where no one can see, he opened the door.
"I guess I can't say a proper goodbye after all." He said. And then he entered the door and go back to his world.
