Chapter 697: White Bear Plush

Your professor also mentioned that the Centipede Guild is onto you? Those thugs are known to use absolutely any dirty tricks to get what they want. Do be careful.

Greya suggested as she handed Toby a bag of Mana Flowers. If their leaders are so shameless as to come personally, use the full power of your Griffin Form and take Angor away.

Toby put the bag into his storage with a serious look.

Lady Greya, arent you going to let Toby stay with you? asked Angor.

Toby quickly started giving Angor pleading looks. No, please, dont!

Greya saw it and giggled. Of course I want Toby by my side

Toby trembled.

But on second thought, he grows stronger quicker if he goes with you. Its only several years, but he got the sequence of gravity and his Griffin Form, you know? Just take him. I dont want to burden Tobys future just because of my blind love.

Angor agreed. Even if not considering Tobys strength, he didnt wish to get separated from him.

Greya was talking to Toby when she suddenly saw Angor showing a weird look.

Whats the matter?

A friend, just arrived at the island. I need to see him.

When in charge of Phantom Island, Angor was allowed to see every detail that was happening around the island, such as a figure pacing back and forth at the edge of the island right now.

Go ahead then. Greya nodded.

As the manager of the island, Angor quickly traveled through the forest and reached the outer beach while everything moved out of his way.

He saw his target and moved ahead with a smile. Fate has guided me here, Hobson.

Hobson saw Angor coming and showed his signature coy smile. Fate has

He then realized that Angor already stole his line, so he scratched his bear ears in embarra.s.sment.

However, instead of his original white bear costume, he was wearing a panda suit today.

What happened to your clothes? Angor chuckled. Thank goodness Toby is not here, or hell kick you again.

White Bear Hobson put a hand on his panda hood and said, Its the same one, but I dyed the eyes and limbs black. And it looks good!

Angor decided not to talk about Hobsons new look. He went straight to the point. So, what are you doing here? Did your fate tell you to look for me again?

Hobson looked down. Trust me, its true. Perhaps fate meant to let me come to you, my friend.

He put his short cane on the ground. When he released it, the item tilted toward Angor but without falling flat.

Angor didnt comment on this one. He was suspecting if White Bear was using this fate stuff as an excuse just to befriend him. Okay, I see. Did fate tell you why?

This time, its Dodoro who told me to come.

Angor was a bit surprised at the answer. Didnt he go to Starliege Temple with Miss Maya? And if he told you something, why did you mention fate and all that?

Its both fate and Dodoro. White Bear sighed. I must say that Dodoros potential is exceptional even though he came to Maya ten years later than I did. I know fate always asks me to speak to you, and this is the proof, he said as he pointed to his short cane, which was still pointing at Angor.

As for Dodoro he predicted something, which is related to both you and me.

Usually, Angor wouldnt care about White Bears cryptic nonsense. However, he decided to pay attention since Dodoro was involved in this, and he knew Dodoros predictions were rather accurate.

Dodoro doesnt really do prophecy, and even if he did, he wont reveal it except that when the prophecy concerns you. He told me to come here at this moment, which means he saw something about you. Also, I felt it too, that fate wants me to come.

Angor felt a giant headache already. Just tell me what Dodoro told you to do.

He asked me to give my most precious treasure to you.

Huh?

White Bear looked at the sky and began unb.u.t.toning his suit. I didnt know what that meant exactly, but I still came. Now I think about it, apart from my memories, my precious treasure should be my virginity.

Angor quickly took several steps back and prepared to activate the islands barrier to knock this freak away the moment he saw it necessary.

However, my virginity was already gone ten years ago, when my aunt took it from me. Then her daughter came and did it again

Angor felt his head dizzy with the overwhelming fact he just heard. What the heck is going on with your family?

So what is my most precious thing? White Bear was almost singing now. I know it now. Its my bone card! It holds all of my savings! But Dodoro couldnt have told me to give you my savings since you probably arent short of money. Which means Im supposed to give you this.

White Bear removed his costume and looked at Angors position with a bright smile, only to find that Angor was no longer in his view.

There was only the forest, which served as the islands first protection, sand, and cold wind.

Leave it there if you want to give me something. I need to deal with another matter. Will pick it up later, Angors voice reached his ears.

But

I spent so much time practicing my final confession! Why do my attempts always end up like this? Am I being too aggressive?

He sighed again and looked at the inner lining of his suit, where a small charm was affixed. It was a miniature toy white bear, which grew a bit yellow due to the pa.s.sage of time.

White Bear looked at a square pendant that was hanging on the toys neck and showed a sad smile.

He made sure Angor wasnt coming back before placing the toy bear on the sand along with a piece of note. Once he was done, he walked away.

Angor showed up from among the trees once he saw that White Bear was gone.

He never left the areahe simply hid in the forest, fearing that White Bear would show him something unsightly. But it seemed that he was worrying too much.

He went onto the beach and picked up White Bears gift.

The palm-sized toy looked poorly madeeven its two eyes were made of differently colored and wrong-sized b.u.t.tons. Yet somehow, Angor could feel that whoever made this toy put a lot of effort into it.

It was like a parting gift given to a traveling child by his mother.

There was a rectangular pendant weaved onto the toys bow-tie. Angor flipped it open and saw a stamp-sized portrait inside. The portrait showed a smiling boy who was holding a white bear toy while a tall woman was holding his shoulders. She was also looking at the camera as well, but the womans face was all blurry.

The boy should be Hobson. But whos that behind her?

Confused, Angor picked up White Bears note.

[This is my answermy precious treasure. I think. Ive been carrying the toy since childhood, and I never let go of it. I dont remember who gave it to me, but I like it.

[Its probably the lady in the picture who gifted it to me. But I dont know who she is. My family, maybe? But everyone in my family died 13 years ago.

[Im not sure why Dodoro wanted you to have it, but there must be a reason. Like I said, fate also convinced me to do so. Otherwise, I really do not wish to part with it.

[Please take good care of it.

[Hobson Seeley]

Angor could tell that the bear toy meant a lot to Hobson, which was also proved when Hobson kept glancing back when he was walking away from the beach. That white bear costume might have something to do with it too.

He carefully put away the toy in his bracelet since it was Dodoros intention.

Also, he was thinking about someone else after looking at Hobsons pendant. He was thinking of Flowey, the lonesome soul of a little girl who lived under a dried-up well outside Dark Castle.

Angor discovered a pendant inside Floweys coffin, which came with a piece of silk that had the image of Flowey and her brother.

Later, Flowey took the picture back and asked him to keep the pendant.

He checked and noticed that although these two items used different materials and had different designs, the chains on them looked exactly the same.

Dont tell me Flowey and Hobson are related in some way?
