Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 264: CHAPTER 264 - Preparing for departure 2.

//// Guys, I’m really sorry!!

The Chapter sequence was a bit messed up, this is 264th chapter, I forgot to upload it.

I’m really sorry for that!

I’ll ask my CE to get the sequence right, but for now, please bear with me.....

Again, I’m really sorry! ////

"So, how is it going to happen?"

Max, standing beside Grace, questioned while trying to maintain a straight face.

Alex turned toward Max and smiled.

"You know, Max.

You were the only friend I had in this world, and I feel happy that you were my friend."

Alex’s sincere words fell into Max’s ear and the straight face he’s been trying to maintain broke.

His lips trembled, and his eyes reddened.

"W- What the hell are you saying?

And what do you mean ’were’? We still are friends, and always will be."

Max gritted his teeth as he looked into Alex’s eyes.

Alex just kept smiling at him.

But that smile just made Max’s eyes water up.

That smile looked like the last goodbye.

"Hey, why-"

Max wanted to ask something, but before he could ask it or before he got too emotional, Alice, who had been standing beside Alex, hit him on the arm.

"Stop it.

You’re making him cry."

She reprimanded Alex with a frown.

Max stared at Alice and Alex in confusion.

"What’re you talking-"

Max was feeling that something was off, but before he could question what was happening, his eyes widened…..

*Chuckle*

He saw Alex, who was looking at him with a sad and sincere expression, now chuckling at him.

"I just wanted to see if he would really cry, and look at that, he’s crying."

Alex pointed at Max’s eyes as he chuckled again.

Max froze.

’Wha….’

Then it slowly clicked.

His eyes went wide as his face started heating up in anger.

"You bastard!!"

He rushed at Ales with his fist clenched, but Alex just sidestepped.

"YYAAAAAA!"

Max twisted his body and punched again.

But as before, Alex effortlessly dodged the attack.

"HAAAAAAA!"

Again.

*Woosh*

And again.

*Boom*

And again.

Max kept throwing punches, knowing full well that they were not going to connect.

The difference between Alex’s and his power was not small.

The girls, on the other hand, stepped aside.

They knew that it was the usual fun Alex and Max used to have.

It was something serious, something deep.

So, they knew better than to get in between them right now.

"Is everything a joke to you?!"

Max’s red eyes glared at Alex.

But Alex just dodged again, much to Max’s frustration.

"Stop dodging, you bastard!"

Max bellowed as he punched again.

*Swoosh*

His punch tore through the air, going right at Alex’s face, but this time, Alex didn’t dodge.

*Grip*

His palm held Max’s fist right before it could touch his face.

"No, this is not a joke to me."

Alex stopped dodging just as Max asked him to do, then smiled, replying to Max’s previous question.

*Snap*

"Then why are you smiling, right now?!"

Max, however, just frowned and pulled his fist back with a snap.

"Because I want this goodbye to be fun, something that would bring a smile to your face when you remember it.

Not something that would remain as a sad memory."

Alex’s answer froze Max.

Not only Max, but everyone else was in the same state.

’Happy memories…’

Then they recalled the memories they had together.

"I don’t want the last thing I remember about you to be a melancholic expression…."

Alex added with a smile.

But his words melted away Max’s anger, leaving only guilt.

The girls exchanged a look before they walked closer to Grace.

Grace and Alice had become good friends just like Alex and Max.

Ann would consider Grace a friend as well, so they decided to say their final goodbyes as well.

Max, ridden with guilt, looked at his feet.

"I-I am s-"

He wanted to apologize.

He wanted to say that he was sorry for misunderstanding Alex’s intentions, and he wanted to say sorry for attacking Alex out of nowhere, but before he could do any of that….

"Shut up, man."

Alex was already hugging Max.

’Ah….’

Max, who was hugged by Alex realized something.

’What did I even expect….’

How could he forget the kind of friend Alex truly was?

’That bastard probably didn’t even take any of that to his heart.’

Max smiled inwardly.

Alex was annoying, sure.

Alex likes to keep things mysterious, which makes him more annoying.

But Alex was and always will be a good friend of his, Max knew that for sure.

The girls, who were listening to Alex and Max’s conversation smiled as they saw this scene.

Grace just giggled as she saw her husband frozen like a statue, thinking of something.

But just then, Max pushed Alex away and jumped 2 meters away.

"What the fuck, man? Keep your distance!

I’m straight!"

The girls were shocked at first, their eyes were wide open, but the moment they heard his next words.

"Hahahahaha.."

Alice laughed out loud.

The way Alex was frozen at his spot, with his head tilted, just made it look funnier.

*Giggle* X2

Grace and Ann just giggled while Luna just shook her head with a smile.

Yes, Luna was here too, and she was joining Alex and the others.

Why?

Remember the time Alex gave Luna a wish?

"I don’t want to be thrown away. I want to stay with you guys, no matter where you guys go."

Well, this was what Luna wished for, and Alex, who was not going to go back to his world didn’t mind bringing her along.

Even more so because now she was an important part of his life.

And although they were not in a relationship yet, everyone in the group knew that they were going to be together, sooner or later.

So, her going together with them was not a problem.

By now, Alex had realized what just happened, but he just shook his head with a smile.

"All right…"

He raised his hand, surrendering the fight of words.

Everyone here knew that Alex was just letting Max have the last laugh or there was no way that Alex would’ve conceded without a fight.

Even Max knew that Alex was doing this for his mood to brighten up, and to change the topic.

But he was still happy that he was able to win a word fight with Alex, although it was scripted.

All of them laughed for a while, enjoying the merry atmosphere.

They knew that no matter how much they tried, they were going to miss the fun they had all those times.

They were going to long for those moments of bickering, the moment they pulled each other’s legs.

Yearn for the time they had those little competitions of theirs.

So, at least for now, they laughed.

As Alex had said - They didn’t want to recall the sad faces of each other whenever they thought about each other.

They cracked some more jokes, and Alex let Max win some more fights.

And Max who was winning the verbal battles was standing with his nose pointed up in the sky.

But as if remembering something, his expression turned serious…..

"Alex…."
