“What do you mean by that we can’t have a ship? We’re on our way to becoming wealthy!”

Kisara argued with the receptionist.

“I’m deeply sorry miss… There is nothing we can do about it. The Springline resort is also closed because of the battles happening there.”

“What do you mean by battle?” I asked.

“This past two weeks, exterminators, bandits, demons, and more. All make their way to Lake Valor searching for the mythical divine gem. The surrounding area of Valor Lake was transformed into a battlefield. This is why it is dangerous for visitors. No visitors going to the resort also means no ship.”

“What should we do now? There is a long vast sea in the middle between us and our destination. We can’t have Charlotte use her ability to give us a lift. She’ll run out of energy and we’ll die in the middle of the sea.”

Kisara said.

We’re stuck in the port. Arguing further won’t do anything. It’s just a waste of energy.

We went outside and sat down on a

    “Why the heck, I’m here peeling potatoes with these peasants?” “You should know the answer to that… hey white-hair… How long are you going to stay silent?” I replied and turned my head to the guy who beat me up last night. He ignored my question and continued peeling potatoes. After peeling one perfectly, he tossed it into the basket and got another one. “He's a jerk...” The blonde prince said. “I feel the same way for you. Calling us peasants is uncalled for.” “I’m simply telling the truth.” I wanted to punch his face. Meanwhile, I was impressed by the maturity of the white hair. After hearing the insults of the prince, he still steadily doing his job without saying anything. I’m not really good at cold situations like this. I tried to make a conversation with him, but he simply ignored me. After I stood up against him last night, our battle continued but didn’t last long. He is simply stronger than me in many ways. His strength is so strong we destroyed the concrete in the r

    “I can see it with my eyes, but I will still ask you why… Why does Choco seem angry?” “Nothing important…” She averted her face for a second and went back to me. “Even in the spirit world, I do feel upset sometimes… Let’s not talk about my feelings. I congratulate you on doing a great job retrieving a divine gem.” “Could you tell me more about the divine gems? There are lots of things I want to know. Like why the dark goddess is being clingy to me. Did you know her?” “That’s a lot of questions at once… We did have a time limit. I think you're reasonable. A long time ago there were six goddesses: fire, wind, water, earth, light, and dark. Everyone didn’t know there was a seventh goddess of Null. She is one of a kind because she is the only goddess who has full control of all the elemental energy in the whole universe… She was kind and helpful to other people when, suddenly out of nowhere, she became reckless and planned to destroy everything. She goes to steal each gem from the oth

    “This place looks deserted I wonder where is everyone,” Charlotte said. “This is perfect looks like no one has noticed our presence. Let’s hurry up and finish this job quickly.” Princess said and take the lead. She gave her head turned left and right. Searching for the rat demon kind infesting the city. We departed from Artemis city to Eterna city early in the morning, the sun is nowhere to be found yet and the surrounding filled with chilly morning fog. The whole sky was still covered with complete darkness. Dark clouds covered the stars above. The place looks like a residential place, but there is no one here. It feels abandoned. “What’s wrong with princess today? She looks very tense. Normally, she would sit down looking pretty and let us take all the work.” Kisara muttered. “Don’t talk to me like that. I’m not lazying around on our mission. You’re both powerful. Mission ended without any casualties. As a support healer. There is nothing for me to do.” “Yeah, but when it is

    I was seating on the bench chair looking up above the stars. I was still in disbelief that Kisara was sickly in love with that man. She will choose him despite knowing that he is a demon kind. I continue to process and think of some kind of way to solve our problem, but o answer is coming to my head. There is no way I could locate Kisara’s location. “Red, catch!” Prince called and threw a can of soda. I catch the can and turned my head into him looking worried. He sat down beside me and said: “That was unfortunate… I thought we already make a great job. I thought his already defeated.” “I’m thinking the same… That demon already has its energy used. Seems like he gave everything his all when he open up the huge portal. Worst he takes someone important to me…” “I see, I hate it when the girl I like is in love with a jerk.” “That’s not what I mean.” “But you continue in thinking about her safety… You look so frustrated. You’re definitely jealous. Is that girl your girlfriend?” “W

    A long time ago, I run away from the palace and start my own life independently. I run away not because I hate my family. Truth, I love them so much. I love them so much that I don’t want to put dirt on their name. I bring down a marriage proposal that supposes to connect our clan to the biggest Empire. Because of my selfishness, I refused the offer. I insulted the man I’m supposed to marry and bring embarrassment into the family. People said that my action isn’t princess-like at all. My attitude is not elegant or firm. I’m just a spoiled brat. The clan's reputation goes downhill because of me. Feeling guilty, I decided to say goodbye and live on my own. I forbid myself from using my clan name and continue living as a mercenary. Gains lots of experience on the battlefield. Eventually gaining the title of the flaming princess.

    “Could you give me the exact location of Kisara?” Asked Charlotte. “That would be impossible from my perspective. I think tracing the thread manually is the only way.” I replied. “That won’t do… If I give you a bird's eye view. Would you be able to tell us the exact location of Kisara?” I was silent for a second. After I comprehended what Charlotte was talking about, she took my silence as a yes. Using her telekinetic ability, she lifts my body high with her. High enough I could see myself near the clouds. “Could you see her now?” “Yeah, she is exactly at the cave in the southeast mountainside.” I pointed out. After Charlotte picked us up, Charlotte lifted Gideon and Noah together with us. “Brace yourselves! We’re going to have our grand entrance!” At super high speed, the whole party dives down from the sky like a rocket directly to the cave in question. We all landed at the main entrance of the cave where Kisara resides. “Very convenient ability you have their little blonde.

    I got him with my blade. After destroying his heart, his body turned into black smoke. I didn’t think that the battle would be this easy using Charlotte’s plan. The only thing left to do was to free Kisara from this cocoon. Charlotte wiped out the sweat on her forehead. “His stupidity, he underestimated us… That’s the reason why he was defeated.” Charlotte said. “I never underestimated you.” “What the?!” Appearing from thin air right behind Charlotte was Shido. That can’t be. I have already destroyed his heart. How is he still alive? Shido slashed his sword, cutting through the space. Charlotte disappeared from her presence. “The overpowered brat is out… It is the two of us now. Blessed child.” “You’re using your bizarre ability again.” “My ability wasn’t bizarre… My artifact was able to manipulate space. But there is a problem now. I can’t use it freely like before, ever since you cut it down with your sword. Channeling my energy to my artifact becomes harder.” “How’d you

    This surge of power is similar to the time I was battling Chiwa. But this time the surge of strength going through my veins is more powerful than before. The most obvious difference was my dagger continuously igniting flames. “Flame ability? Is that your artifact ability?” Asked Gideon. “No, this is not the possibility of my artifact.” Nothing rings a bell in my mind. But if this power would help me save Kisara, then it's all okay for me. I put my dagger in front of me as I set my battle stance. I fixed my gaze on our opponent, who was seemingly looking at me in disbelief. “Red, I think you should go and save your lover. Let me take care of this rotten man.” “Another annoying man has arrived… I thought you had already died.” “I made a promise with my brother that I would take revenge on the people who took their lives... The Kingdom of the black sun will pay dearly.” “You know about us?” “Group of evil people who serve the demon kind. I’m always wondering why people like yo

    Chapter 340: True happiness (END)

    I have a dream… A very very long dream. A dream about me in the past. For a weird girl like me, childhood is rough. My family wasn’t as caring, but still, I’m grateful for the life they gave me.Without them, I would be unable to experience everything I’ve been through.Life comes in many flavors. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's bitter. Sour days always come and there is a stale, tasteless day of boredom.Back in Japan I only care about myself. I never thought that I would need someone at my side. I always think that I can do everything on my own.I keep proving that everyone else around me was wrong. I accumulate money and live alone. It was fun being able to do anything without someone yelling at you. This freedom and loop of happiness. Being a slave to pleasure is for sure. If not made moderate, it will surely destroy someone’s life.Where am I again? I see, I’m back in my house again.Waking up early in the morning, there as I wake up Marie and Shuri playing with Shirone and
