Is that a Wisp? Chapter 673: Lino’s Reaction

Krune and Lino were taken aback by that.

“You can’t remember me?”

Nina continued to look at Krune with a puzzled face. As far as they could see, it didn’t seem that Nina was pretending. Lino was even more sure since he knew that his sister would never fake such a thing. 

Lino then held Nina’s hand and asked, concerned.

“Sister, can’t you remember that Chef Krune was the reason why we could get the Memory Seal removed? He went to great lengths to help us with it.”

Nina then began to ponder, but there was nothing else other than shadows and gaps.

“I do remember a few things about that memory Seal, but… what was that about? I just remember that it was something bad. By the way, why did I say that I was happy that it worked? I can’t even remember what all of this was about.”

However, before Lino could explain, Nina looked at Krune and said with a smile.

“Anyway, if my brother is saying that you were the one responsible for eliminating the Memory Seal, I’m really thankful. I’ll definitely repay this favor.”

Lino couldn’t help but feel somewhat melancholic. After all, he knows very well how much his sister loves… loved Krune. However, he was surprised to see that Krune didn’t seem that affected. At most, there was a hint of sadness on his face.

Krune then showed a smile before saying.

“I see… It’s okay. In a certain way, the one who put you in this situation was me as well. Anyway, the important thing here is not your memories of me. To be honest, there isn’t much merit in knowing who I am. The most important thing is your memories from your brother, and secondly, your Spiritual Chef skills. Those are the ones you need to have and are really significant. After all, I won’t stay here forever.”

Krune wasn’t lying. He never thought of himself as someone important anyway. He knew that many things depended on him in the past and even now. Still, he came from a three years life as one of the weakest life forms in the Luvile Universe. He knew the struggle of the weak races and how bad stronger ones treated them. He would never use his superior talent and power that he acquired with so much effort in something like that.

However, for some reason, Lino felt extremely angry when he heard those words from Krune. He then stepped forward and grabbed Krune’s shirt.

“Fuck those cooking memories! How can you say that those were the most important ones? Sure, it is great that she remembers me. However, was the time you spent with my sister really that useless?!”

Nina was shocked by her brother’s reaction and immediately tried to stop him. She still had her cultivation. However, she couldn’t see Krune’s one at all. It was proof that he was several times stronger than them. She couldn’t remember Krune, so she didn’t know what kind of temperament he had either.

“Lino, stop! You can’t be disrespectful to him! He helped us, so let him go!”

Krune, of course, was as puzzled as ever. 

“Well… it does make me sad that she forgot who I am. Still, it’s like I said, I don’t think I’m someone that important to start with. There really isn’t much of a reason to feel this mad, right? Don’t worry. If you are afraid that I will abandon you two now, that won’t happen. Even if I need to teach your sister about being a Spiritual Chef again, I will take care of it. As for memories about me, well, there will be new ones in the future anyway.”

Lino got even angrier. Even though he knew that Krune only had eyes for that supposed wife of his, Lino still felt that it was not right for everything to be over like this.

“That’s not it! That’s not it at all!”

Too bad, though. Krune didn’t have any idea what Lino was angry about at all. In fact, even Lino couldn’t tell why he was angry. First, Krune’s EQ wasn’t developed enough to read the underlines. Everyone knew that. Also, since his sister never had a chance, wouldn’t it be better now that she forgot him?

‘Still…’

Finally, Lino calmed down since he knew that he was being unreasonable with Krune. Especially after everything he did for them.

Nina quickly tried to apologize to Krune. However, Krune simply patted both siblings’ heads and laughed.

“It’s okay. I’m not angry to start with. If anything, I’m happy that you two didn’t forget each other. What about your skills as a Spiritual Chef? Do you remember them?”

Nina couldn’t help but feel that touch familiar somehow. It made her feel secure even though she couldn’t remember anything about Krune. Still, she quickly put those thoughts behind and pondered about what Krune asked. In the end, Nina shook her head at him.

“Sorry, Chef Krune. I do remember that I always wanted to be a Spiritual Chef. Still, I can’t remember ever trying working as one.”

It couldn’t be helped. Nina’s cooking memories were deeply related to Krune himself. Since she forgot Krune, the cooking teachings that she received from him were gone too. In fact, she couldn’t even remember the other members of the restaurant either.

Krune sighed after hearing that. He seemed a lot sadder about her lost cooking memories than his own. Well, that’s Krune for you. Cooking memories were more important than ones about himself.

“Well, even though you can’t remember, I know what you are capable of. This time, it will be several times faster to teach you again. Not to mention that your cultivation is much higher than when you started in the past. Just leave it with me. Hahaha!”

Suddenly, Lino felt like he was seeing a Deja Vu. His sister’s eyes began to shine the same way they did when Krune first took her as an apprentice.

‘Well… so be it…’

Krune then told the two to stay there and rest for the rest of the day. Lino nodded without minding it much, but Nina still felt somewhat restless about the situation. Only after her brother told her that it was normal between them that Nina agreed with it.
