Separated from Retto, Falfa found herself being dropped down in front of ruins. Concrete floors are already being eaten by moss. Ruin resembles a church destroyed by time. Only a few walls, pillars, and the altar with a statue of an angel praying were left. She immediately put on her high gear and prepared herself for combat. Holding her magic wand in her right hand. She observed her surroundings keenly. I could find anyone, but I could sense a presence. Falfa turned behind her at a rapid pace. A human figure is covered with pure lime-colored magic. Face and body unable to be seen. By seeing her features it was clear that the figure resembles a girl. “Fire arrow!” Falfa shot magic at her. “... No effect.” Not even a scratch from her. Falfa was sure it was a direct hit. She channeled a high amount of magic on the tip of her wand. Using her magic she creates a magic circle with the ability to amplify her magical power. It took a few seconds that her normal casting speed but would
Having nothing to do around the city. Retto decided to just go straight to the meeting and wait for everyone. “I’m sorry but Falfa was unable to attend because she felt unwell,” Retto said and closed the door of her office. Dia was busy looking as ever sitting at her desk and reading the papers in her hand. Mostly documents about projects and plans that would further result in the prosperity of Eden city. His heavy voice pulled Dia’s attention and turned her gaze on him. A long stare directly into his eyes made him feel uneasy. Dia is suspicious and it's probably a woman’s instinct. Together with the rumor of Falfa being his mistress. Ideas that could happen with her knowing must be happening. Retto for sure didn’t know anything about the rumor and who spread the rumor of him being Falfa’s lover while being a lover with Dia. So he normally closed the door to the office and took a seat on the sofa. A maid came near him and placed some snacks and tea to drink while they waited for
The time for the meeting arrived. Important people in Eden city made themselves comfortable in the office. On other seats on the sofa and chairs. Another meanwhile prepared to stand up.Dia returned and sat back at her desk.“I’m sorry that our office is not wide enough for holding meetings like this.”Having eye contact with her, she simply gave me her usual business smile. Dia maintained her cool and reserved expression. The sad expression she was wearing earlier cannot be found, no not to put it in another way. She simply covers it up.Despite her acting normally.I could feel that she wasn’t feeling exactly good.There is a stupid person that just hurt her feelings after all. My hesitation and pause led her to believe that there was something between Falfa and me.Later, I should have a private conversation with her to fix our problems.“Everyone knows what happened in our city. It's nothing to feel bad about.”Hikari said.Dia cleared her throat and started the meeting. She intro
“Yuno kingdom being interested with the dungeon. The dungeons are supposed to be secret. Somebody must leak information.”Latina said worrisome.“I think all kingdoms already knew about the dungeon. After the opening of Eden city and the attack of the extraterrestrial. Their existence spread through the kingdoms. Not to mention, the other people that came from the first dungeon with us… They probably tell stories to other people or in their hometown.”Hikari responded.“Originally… Only Mari kingdom knows the dungeons… The first priestess is the person that summoned the player into this world after all. According to the stories in the past, players are heroes that were summoned to defeat the demons. But that is not true, they are heroes, but the target of players was the witch of the beginning whose hidden above the cosmos. This witch is also the supreme god everyone in Mari kingdom worshiped.”“This is getting confusing… The players' goal is to defeat the evil god. Does that mean the
After the meeting, I decided to approach Dia to talk about our problems, but she refused and told me to give her some time and space. It hurts me to be unable to fix things immediately and decide to follow what she wants. Velrum and Glenn invited me to the laboratory to give me some brief explanations about the upgrades to my normal armor and gun. As expected for all of Velrum, the upgrades are superb. Especially the newest bullet he develops.“This is the same red gem Glenn uses.”I said as I stared at the pretty ruby stone.“That’s right, It was my idea to fuse it with a bullet. That red gem compressed thousands of magic inside of it. Triggering your gun, you can shoot thick bursts of magical power.”Glenn said.“Great… Using this feels like I’m using my own magic.”“Be careful in using those gems… Compressing magical power is hard. Because you need multiple people or one person with the huge magical power to generate one of those red gems… You are lucky that I’m here to donate some
After dinner, Falfa invited me to her room to have a private talk with me. I behave as I waited for her. I’m anxious about everything. I never thought that many things already happened without us knowing. This must be heavy for Falfa who kept this a secret his entire time. Or probably she told the previous me about this and we failed. Falfa won’t betray me, that is the way she was. Overthinking would just lead me astray. I should just talk to her to find out the answers. The door opens up gently. Falfa whose wearing her pajamas appeared with her hair a little drenched. I was stunned after seeing her. I know she become an absolute beauty when she evolved into her adult form. But I never think that she could be this gorgeous. My heart is skipping. Suddenly the atmosphere of the room got nicer just by her being there. “Lala and Nana are already asleep in their room. They seem very tired playing all day outside.” Falfa said and sat down next to me while she continue to dry her hair wi
“Dia!” Latina hurried inside Dia’s office in the middle of the night. Still in her cute cat pajamas. “What’s with that rush? Is there a pervert in dog pajamas?” “Nope, no time for joking around… Three of our sword relics were stolen.” “What?! When did this happen?” Latina slammed both hands on Dia’s desk aggressively and replied: “We’re still under investigation. Hikari is currently doing her best to find out the culprit…. Dia, those fairies come here interested in our weapons. I’m thinking that they might be the culprit… Nope, I’m certain of that. Yuno kingdom queen must be desperate to conquer the third dungeon of Zero.” “I know… Yuno kingdom was interested in clearing the third dungeon. But I’m certain that Barnes and the little fairy had already left after the meeting. Fairies and elves had different magical presence surrounding them. I kept track of them when they left.” “Then, why have the relics gone missing?” Dia pinched the bridge of her nose. Closed her eyes and took
Going to Yuno kingdom without anyone knowing is the only way. That’s what the witch of the cosmos said to me before she vanished. I hate it, but it was probably the only choice. The witch of the cosmos might be treating me as her plaything. I can’t deny that when things go sour. Her helping hands never failed me. Like what happened in the second dungeon without her help, I wouldn’t have been able to get my second chance. Her help was inconsistent and she only helped if she wanted. Because of that, I can’t completely rely on her. Still, I'm thankful to her. I had my glance fixed on the sleeping Falfa. I gently fixed her hair. Put my hand on her forehead and check her temperature. Falfa’s fever is going low. I wonder when she’ll be fine. The moment she’s ready, we’ll immediately depart for Yuno kingdom. A loud thunderous sound echoed outside. The rain got heavier too. Turning my glance outside, I could see a giant towering magical aura. The aura only appeared for a few seconds and d
