There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 633

Chapter 633: Side Story 1. The Twilight Zone - 15

"Brother Zein!"

"Zein!"

Two petite figures, both had tied long hairs in different colors, stopped at the lake house porch and narrowed their eyes at each other, scrutinizing. Both were asking the same question wordlessly: who are you?

"Stop being silly and come in," Zein rolled his eyes and beckoned them with his fingers.

"Brother Zein!"

"Zein!"

The same cheery greetings could be heard again, this time along with skipping footsteps as they ran toward the guide again, hugging him like kids seeing their parents after a long summer camp.

"He’s a guide magnet, isn’t he?" Mizar laughed as they stepped inside the lake house and watched his guide locked in a staring contest again with the same younger girl.

"Haa...what can you do?" Bassena shrugged and shook the older twin’s hand. "I thought you’d only be here for the wedding?"

"That’s the plan, but..." Mizar gazed at his laughing guide. "What can I do when my guide wants to see the groom separately."

The espers, both knowingly weak for their guide’s whim, shared a wry smile and shrugged.

"Hey!" Alcor jumped in between them and put his arms around their shoulder. "Little bird told me you got twin boys?"

This little bird was probably Ren, right? Bassena chuckled and nodded, prompting Alcor to punch the air in excitement. "Awesome!"

While Bassena and the twin Guildmasters talked in the mini bar, Ren and Elena were busy staring at Zein’s stomach.

"Hmm...it’s not showing very much..."

"They’re small," Zein shrugged. "Want to touch it?"

"Can we?"

Zein looked at two pairs of sparkling eyes, laughing inwardly. "Go ahead."

Elena placed her hand on top of Zein’s stomach without hesitation, prompting the priest and the templar who accompanied her to sigh and bow at Zein apologetically.

"Oh, I can feel them!" Elena giggled, and the usually timid Ren shoved her to the side slightly.

"It’s my turn," the older guide said while pursing his lips, and Zein couldn’t help but smirk. Three years ago, this boy still looked a bit timid. Now, he even attended a wedding.

Elena made a face behind the guide she didn’t even know the name of and jumped to sit beside Zein. "I worked so hard in my study so I can come here, you know," she started to whine. "Grandma said I can’t attend your wedding if I even got one question wrong. She even put in a trick question--can you believe it?!"

"But you got them right," Zein hummed. "Good job."

"Hehe..."

Although a bit late, Zein finally had a chance to go visit the Temple of Frejya to return the Saint’s staff. Thankfully, since the mark where the staff was hidden was made by the Goddess, it didn’t vanish even after Zein lost his mana.

Since he was there anyway, he told them about his pregnancy and the wedding in the summer, which made Elena throw a tantrum about attending the wedding. The next Saintess going to another federation before coming of age was unprecedented and dangerous, but knowing that the wedding would be attended by some of the strongest espers in the continent made it negotiable.

In the end, with Zein providing lodging in his own lake house and a condition of her study, Elena’s adventure in the Eastern Federation was met with approval.

"Zein..." another one nuzzled on his other side, hugging his arm while whispering. "Is it true...umm...about your imprinting?"

Zein glanced at the petite guide, who had looked far less timid in a public setting than before. The kid looked rather...jealous. A guide who couldn’t get imprinted because he had two precious espers. Hmm...

"Even if it didn’t happen..." Zein leaned back against the couch and looked at Bassena, who was in the middle of serving some drinks to Mizar and Alcor. "Even if it didn’t happen, I still believed we would be the only one for each other."

"I...I see..."
