Harem Overlord Chapter 320 – What Happened With Gaia (Missed )

I didn’t realize this earlier but I apparently missed the scene where Kai meets Gaia and asks for her answer. 

If I didn’t back-read now, that scene would have probably been buried under many things and would have never come.

So without further ado, here it is.

***

“So have you thought about it?” Kai asked as Gaia gulped.

After leaving Fanglin back at Kosma’s place, Kai was on the land of earth in the elven realm to hear Gaia’s reply.

She on the other hand was trying not to make eye contact with Kai but it wasn’t working well.

So she instead took a deep breath and stared at his hair.

“I am ready to help the spirits but I have no idea whether I will follow you after that or not.” She replied while nervously moving her hands as Kai smiled.

“It’s your decision Gaia, not mine. If you want, you can stay here and I will go back. But if you really want to save those spirits, then I will take you with me.”

Kai then extended his hand in front of her as Gaia stared at it.

For the past few days, she had been thinking about it deeply and had even told her parents about it.

They had been heartbroken about her decision but since they cared about her, they decided to let her make her own decisions.

Now she was wondering whether she should just stay back or try to do something else.

“You have two options, Gaia. You can either hold my hand and we can go or you can say no and I will go alone.” Kai reminded her as Gaia pouted.

“This is not fair you know. If I say no, I would feel guilty about leaving all of my spirits trapped there alongside the spirits in the other special realms.”

“Who said that life was ever fair?” Kai asked while raising his eyebrows as Gaia sighed.

“Fine, I am coming with you.” She said and grabbed his hand.

She could feel a strange warmth spreading through her body as she looked at his face.

‘He feels different now.’ She suddenly thought as Kai teleported them.

Gaia couldn’t exactly tell what was different but what she knew was that Kai was somehow different.

Maybe it was his personality or it was something else. But she was sure that something in him was different.

“Hey Kai, what will you do if you are not able to unlock the other realms?” Gaia asked as they appeared above the spirit realm.

Kai remained silent for the time being as he let Gaia look at the new spirit realm.

Her eyes slowly widened as she realized what Kai had been actually meaning to tell her.

The new spirit realm was completely different from the one she remembered.

No wonder Kai had been asking her about this.

“I have already found a way to unlock all of the realms. After you go to the realms, only Kazemi’s realm would be left but you don’t need to worry about that.” He suddenly replied as she slowly nodded.

“Then shall we go?” She asked in a nervous tone as Kai nodded.

“You are acting different Gaia. I wonder what happened to the Gaia who used to argue with me like a child.” Kai suddenly added as Gaia’s face twitched.

“Who are you calling a child?” She asked as Kai raised his eyebrows.

“I am obviously calling you a child. No one else is here.” He replied with a grin as Gaia suddenly realized what he did.

“You remembered that?” She asked as her expression softened.

“How can I forget the moment where you guys kidnapped me and staged it as me kidnapping you.” Kai added as Gaia chuckled.

“We did live a good life afterward though. But we eventually had to return.” She sighed and stared at the solid spirit realm.

“Take me to the place from where I can enter my special realm.” She then said in a resolute tone as Kai nodded.

He teleported the both of them to the spot where the entrance to her realm lied.

“Guess this is goodbye for now.” Gaia said as they stood on top of the water.

It was quite ironic that the entrance to the spirit of earth’s realm was in a water location.

“If all goes well, we will meet again and will also have all the other eight elemental rulers as well,” Kai added as Gaia suddenly froze.

“All of them will be there?” She suddenly asked as Kai nodded.

“Then I am going inside and sealing the entrance again.” Gaia muttered as Kai looked surprised.

“Why?”

“Because I am not ready to meet all of them at once you know…” She muttered as Kai suddenly patted her head.

“You won’t be alone though. All of them, except Mariel and Aizza, will be feeling awkward.” He said as Gaia took a deep breath.

She then bit the index finger of her right hand and dropped a drop of her blood in the water

The entrance of her realm slowly started appearing as she turned to look at Kai. 

“I hope you are right about that.” She muttered and stepped forward.

She gave a light peck on his right cheek before moving towards the entrance of her realm.

She waved her hand once and then vanished.

After she was gone, Kai suddenly realized one thing.

“I added Sierra too…” He muttered as stared at the sky.

Perhaps it was just from habit that he included Sierra in the total number of elemental rulers even though she was dead.

He wondered how Gaia would react when she would learn that. But for now, Kai decided to not tell her about it.

‘Guess I should head back.’ He then thought and teleported back to Kosma’s place since his work was done.

But he wasn’t aware that his statements had just tingled the sense’s of End as she started producing a new death book.
