239 Where is she? (2)
When Grandma Derry’s words reached his ears, Orion felt the urge to ask about the duration of Fiona’s absence. However, before he could utter a word, a loud and exasperated sigh escaped from beside him. “I thought they would have found her by now,” Fiona expressed, her voice filled with disappointment. “It’s such a shame that they haven’t,” she lamented, her spirits dampened by Grandma Derry’s untimely interruption.
But, despite her sense of frustration, Fiona recognized the severity of the situation and understood the impact that the retired warrior’s disappearance could have on the village.
After hearing her words, Orion was suddenly crushed by a feeling of agitation rushing through his body. The realization that he was likely the only one oblivious to such crucial information struck him. Instantly feeling overwhelmed, he couldn’t shake the emotion that he was somehow responsible for Fiona’s disappearance.
Suddenly, in an almost primal burst, he propelled himself upward, bouncing on his feet, and swiftly darted towards the door. With a resounding “Bam!” he flung the door wide open, capturing everyone’s attention, before vanishing from the hut in a blur.
Meanwhile, Fiona watched in bewilderment, trying to make sense of what had just transpired. One moment, she was sitting face-to-face with Orion, and in the blink of an eye, he had vanished from her sight and sprinted out of the door before she could even process it.

“Ahem! It appears that it’s time for me to take my leave,” Greta announced abruptly, sensing no further need to linger. “I’ll return before midnight, once I’ve informed the Village Chief about the treatment’s progress.” She then turned her gaze to Sura and inquired, “Would you like to accompany me, dear? It’s getting late, and I can escort you back safely.”
Sura quickly shook her head in refusal, “Don’t worry, Miss Greta. I want to wait for a while until Orion comes back.” Besides, after listening to everything that the women around her had to say, Sura had a lot of questions to ask Orion and hoped that he could provide satisfactory answers.
Because, no matter how she looked at it, it still seemed ridiculous that all the women here were Orion’s partners, except for a select few. “Also, I have been working on the farm for a while, so I know my way back from here. There is no need to be worried about me, Miss Greta.”
Greta nodded understandingly, turning her attention to the group before speaking. “I’ll be back soon,” she assured them, her mind already racing with thoughts on how to persuasively explain the situation to the Chief and secure the necessary herbs to aid the women in conceiving without complications.
As she walked, Greta couldn’t help but ponder how the Village Chief perceived Orion. With his remarkable potential as a six-star warrior, surely he would be seen as someone special. This thought brought a tired sigh to Greta’s lips as she muttered softly, “I certainly hope so.”
Meanwhile, Grandma Derry was still dumbfounded, her mind swirling with anger and frustration as she bit her lips in annoyance. She couldn’t believe that all her carefully crafted plans and schemes had been foiled just because of Orion’s sudden departure.
‘You must be joking with me, right?’ Grandma Derry thought, feeling exasperated by the whole situation. Regardless of wherever Orion had fled to, she vowed to confront him the moment he returned. And when she faced him, she would employ every trick she knew to arouse him, making sure that his penis becomes erect enough for him to penetrate and impregnate her, no matter how things might turn out.
……..……..
‘This can’t be happening! This can’t be happening!!’ Orion’s thoughts raced as he blamed himself for what had occurred with Fiona, his heart pounding with guilt as he sprinted through the forest.
While he knew deep down that he had valid reasons for not being able to meet up with her, he couldn’t ignore the weight of responsibility he felt. If Fiona’s life was endangered by his actions, then his reasons would hold no value, no matter how valid they seemed.
‘Fiona… Dammit, why would she do something like this?’ Orion thought rapidly once more, realizing that it would have been better for her to chase him with a cutlass in anger rather than running off to the other side of the forest, considering suicide. He felt a heavy sense of guilt, knowing he had to find her and make things right before it was too late.
Unknowingly, during his sprint, Orion had forgotten to take a good look at his surroundings, which resulted in him colliding with something hard.
“BAM!!”
The force of the collision made him collapse on his buttocks, with painful vibrations spreading across his head and senses.
“AHHH! Didn’t you look where you were running? Are you…” A familiar voice reached Orion’s ears, causing him to snap his eyes open. He found Grim clutching his head in pain, their eyes meeting in a dazed state.
“Orion, is that you?” Grim said, with a hint of doubt in his voice. After all, they hadn’t seen Orion for the past two days, and when they questioned Warrior Jean about it since he was very angry at the fact that Orion had missed his training on the first day, he simply told them not to worry, that Orion was currently handling something important with the Village Chief, and that he would return once he was done.
“O….Orion…” Hearing someone hesitatingly call out his name, Orion looked to the side and saw Ursa staring at him with an expression of surprise and joy on her face.
