“Relics are said to be elements of a forgotten past.”

{ “From what I know though, it’s more like they are things from a time that is not remembered by anyone. Something that had happened a long, long time ago.” }

They were out of the lake after that big commotion and now they were facing one another, as well as the new person that was sitting with them.

{ “I didn’t know you would look so pretty. You’re almost as pretty as that strange woman that came here with that kind man.” }

“She was that pretty?”

Elio couldn’t believe the words of this divine creature. It was saying that the Sera right now looked as pretty as that human player who came here before them.

Now, the fact that it was comparing her to some human was understandable, but… this creature was saying there was a human player as pretty as an angel?

Now that fact made him rethink almost everything he had thought about those first ranked couple.

“Physical appearance is simply the persecution of our minds. There’s nothing unique about my appearance from where I come from… orcs would call it ugly, in fact, even Elves do not like someone with wings.”

Her voice was much prettier than Elio had expected earlier, but it was surely pretty.

And she still had the same smile that she usually had when she was a bird.

Her wings were resting on the floor which they had turned even greener with their holy power, and though she was not wearing any clothes when she turned her appearance, Elio was carrying some good clothings that were better for her than having nothing on.

There was only him and the other creatures of this forest that were somehow curious about this strange being as well, so it wasn’t necessary.

But, now that she was in a humanoid form, having at least some clothes was much better… it was distracting otherwise.

“You’re pretty, Sera. You were pretty when you were in that from and you are pretty right now as well.

Just like how the Flins were so interested in you back then in that bird form, now that you have a humanoid body, you are simply being perceived prettier in, at the very least, my mind.”

Still, she was the same Sera that he knew.

And, that fact was not going to change.

“You still look at me the way you looked at me when I looked like a bird.”

“You’re prettier now, but that doesn’t change many things, dear.”

She was still someone he needed to protect and that fact isn’t going to change.

She was stronger now, and with that Relic accepting her, she was much stronger than most (Level-100) servants.

She might be strong enough to deal with those monsters of the forest outside of this place, but that was it.

It wasn’t going to change much of anything.

“Anyway…”

Elio got up and looked at the creature that had come down there despite saying it disliked water.

“You are a tsundere.”

{ “A what?” } Continue reading at empire

“Someone who hides what they actually think and masks it with a tough act.”

{ “Hmmm?” }

“Haha, I agree. They are like that.”

It acts all high and mighty but gets softer at some simple compliments. Even though they want to establish a hierarchy between them, they talk freely about all kinds of things and tell them everything they want to know as if they like talking with them.

It was all an act when they said they didn’t like water as well. They wanted to come with them, but they didn’t and simply made excuses.

{ “Hey! I’m not a tsun whatever! And I’m not… I’m not hiding anything!” }

The pretty creature had a blush on its silver fog made body. It was so obvious.

“You’re adorable, you know?” Elio simply shook his head at the creature and stood up as he helped Sera to stand up as well.

“You’re so honest with your reactions.” She smiled at the creature and stood up with Elio’s help but, since she wasn’t used to this body yet, she was having difficulty getting adjusted to walking, even standing.

{ “You two! I’ll… I’ll kill you if you say that once again! Don’t make fun of me!” }

“Oh apologies apologies. We don’t want anything like that now do we? Let’s not jump to killing.”

Elio simply patted the creature, and helped Sera take a few more steps.

Walking on two feet was a new thing for her even though she had regained a lot of her memories now and remembered how she was from a small part of the [Heavenly realm], how she was a simple child of a simple family, and how she had lived her life.

She knew she was a worrier that had fought against the otherworldly forces, against the evil in a forgotten time, and she remembered how she had died while saving her mother from a Great Evil.

She remembered all those things and she had spent the last three hours telling them about all those things.

On top of that, she also showed them her new status window that looked pretty different from what it used to be.

And it certainly was much more interesting than her simple status window.

However, it was not as interesting as the [Key] insignia that was now present on her palm.

“Do you want to try flying?”

“Can I?”

“I’m sure you will be able to fly at least since you knew it in that bird form.”

The key mark in her hand was from the Relic that she had just obtained.

It was a very powerful item from a time that wasn’t remembered by people of this world, much less the players.

The key not only helped her level up a bunch, it also unlocked many skills and abilities that were sealed, and it also unlocked many memories of hers as well.

Thanks to that key, they also knew how to get out of this forest… this familiar place which was once part of a great battlefield.

Thanks to her new memories, they now knew a lot of things from a time that not even that divine creature knew much about.

The kind of information that they had now was beyond what they should have had, and thanks to all that information, Elio had received a personal quest as well…

It was a strange quest, but thanks to that quest, he knew that it was time to finally… after so many months, how it was finally time to get out of this place.

“Let’s try it. Flying should be instinctive so try feeling it.”

They knew the way to get out of here now, however, they were going to wait a little longer.

Sera needed a little more time to get used to her powers and new body, so he was going to Help her a little.

And while he does that… he was also going to try and see if this creature was still interested in coming with them or not.

He was going to try one last time… who knows? He might actually succeed by some stroke of luck this time.
