Chapter 30 CHAPTER 30: NEITHER BIRD NOR PLANE
[Is it a bird?]
[Is it a plane?]
[No, it's Davies being thrown around in the air by a girl] Miya recited inside Davies's head, much to his annoyance.
'Shut up!' Davies shouted in his head as a blue vein showed up on his forehead, signifying his annoyance.
**a Few minutes earlier…**
"Tisha will protect and stand beside her knight in shining armor!" Tisha said with her right hand on her chest like some kind of declaration.
"Wha…?" a look of pure confusion and bewilderment was plastered on Davies's face after hearing her words.
"Ah! Forget what I just said!" Tisha quickly shouted as her face turned beet red as she realized what she just said. She turned away quickly and covered her blushing face with her hands, but her ears were still red.
[... She's completely fallen for you]
'... Nah, she's just weird, everyone in this world is weird,'
'I should have known better than to common sense in a fantasy world,' Davies facepalmed.
"So, why did you follow me?" he asked Tisha.
"... I… I…" Tisha stammered.

'Ahhhhhh… he probably thinks I'm a weird stalker…!' she raged internally while resisting the urge to pull out her hair. She was still short of words and did not know what to tell Davies when he suddenly said,
"We'll discuss that later, let's get away from here first before those monsters recover enough to chase us,"
'... and before Khal Ed and that ice spike bear come out and find us here,' he added internally.
Davies was about to turn around and start running when Tisha said,
"It should be faster to fly, right?" she asked with a slight tilt of her head.
"... Unlike you, I can't fly," Davies replied with a raised eyebrow, wondering what this girl was getting at.
"I can carry yo…" Tisha began.
"No!" Davies cut in immediately, no way in hell would he allow a woman to carry him as she flew.
"EH? But why?" Miya questioned.
"Because…" Davies wanted to retort but had no reason other than to preserve his pride, but he couldn't tell her that.
"Because I don't feel like it," he finally managed to say.
Tisha was a bit confused about Davies's refusal but after a few seconds she bumped her right fist against her left palm as if she just discovered something, "... Could it be you're scared of flying?"
"Like hell, I'd be scared of flying!"
"Did you already forget that I beat you at your own game and took you out of the skies… speaking of which you still haven't told me why you kissed me," Davies retorted.
"That… I…" Tisha began to stammer again,
'Ahhhhh… he definitely thinks I'm weird,' she cried internally.
Meanwhile inside Davies's head,
[Just let her carry you] Miya suggested.
'Like hell, I'd do that!' Davies rejected her suggestion vehemently.
[You don't have much to stand around and debate all day, and like she said it's faster]
[And she doesn't have to actually carry you, she can use her telekinesis to carry you along with her] Miya tried to make Davies see reason.
'That's even worse,' he still rejected the idea.
[How is that worse?] Miya asked.
'Doing something as stupid as leaving myself defenseless to her telekinesis is the same thing as me being at her mercy,'
'She'd be able to kill me at any time she wanted to,' Davies made his viewpoint clear regarding the issue.
[... I don't think she wants to kill you] Miya said, thinking back to Tisha's actions till now.
'Yeah right, that's what I also used to think before ending up with a knife in my back,' Davies scoffed.
[This isn't the same as that time…]
***ROOOOAAAAARRRRRR***
The roar of the ice spike bear interrupted Davies's conversation with Miya as he and Tisha looked in the direction of the ice fortress where the roar came from.
Slowly they began to hear the thumping sounds of the footsteps of the bear, it seemed to be rushing outside toward them and would be outside the fortress soon.
Tisha looked at Davies and bit her lip,
"I'm so sorry!!!" she said suddenly and wrapped her telekinesis power behind Davies and herself and quickly lifted off into the air,
"Wooooaaaahh!!!" Davies was startled at this development; he had been so focused on the imminent ice spike bear that he had forgotten to wrap himself with his mana to protect himself from external influences and was easily carted away by Tisha who began to fly at high speed in the direction of her companions.
**And that brings us back to the beginning of the chapter**
[Is it a bird?]
[Is it a plane?]
[No, it's Davies being thrown around in the air by a girl] Miya recited inside Davies's head, much to his annoyance.
'Shut up!' a blue vein showed up on his forehead, signifying his annoyance.
Davies's eyes turned to the girl that put him in this situation, but Tisha was purposely not looking in his direction and acted as if her focus was on flying.
Davies understood her reason for doing what she did, but there was no way he would be okay with being carried around like a sack of fruits without regard for his choice. People making decisions for him was one of the things that annoyed him the most as it made him feel like he was not in control, and Davies hated that feeling, especially because after that feeling usually came, the worst things that had happened to him in every single one of his lives.
"Oi…" Davies's ice-cold voice seemed to have reached another degree of cold as he called out to Tisha. His voice was so cold that Tisha didn't dare to ignore it.
"Let… me… down," Davies spelled out, his voice giving no room for refusal or excuses.
"...Ok," she answered meekly as she began to descend to the ground.
'Why is he so angry?' she wondered about his cold voice and change in demeanor, as even though his voice sounded cold before, she still felt like she was talking to a person, but now his voice betrayed no emotion and sounded like an emotionless machine that had just discovered the emotion of anger.
She landed on the ground and released her power of telekinesis from Davies, luckily it seemed like she had flown fast enough that they weren't far off from her companions, the other members of the B-Squad.
