“Slowly, dummy.”

“I know.”

The two of them carefully landed on the ground and, Elio didn’t need her help like he did when they took off for the first time earlier.

“It was fun.”

“Right?”

Now that they have had their first awakening and were above (Level-100) they could use some items that they previously could not.

Additionally, with Sir Victor’s magic, they didn’t even need items to fly.

They had the help of high level magic, so they did not even need Sera’s ability sharing skill. They had simply use magic to fly around the place just now.

“Should we eat something? A late night snack?”

“Sure if that’s what you want. But, you know, I was thinking we would go back… the bed was nice, you know what I mean?”

Yeah she knew what he meant.

“We are going back.”

And she wasn’t going to decline an offer coming from him. Especially when they haven’t had much time to spend Together since he came back from that forest.

-Step. Step. Step.

They had landed just around the corner of their inn, so they didn’t have too much trouble walking back to their place.

It was also fun to see the nightlife of the capital, but they had already been floating above the capital for a few hours now.

They had seen quite a lot in these hours… walking and seeing the same things wasn’t going to be as much fun anymore.

“Hey…”

There were concerns but, now that they have had the fresh night breeze, they were going to work things out somehow.

They were together again, and this time, they were even stronger than before, so they were going to see everything in their path through.

“There’s something I have to tell, Alex.”

They were staying in an expensive inn and yet they had rented two separate rooms for them and for the mother-daughter duo. But they were in their own room right now, which was empty.

“Actually, there’s someone I want you to meet.”

Elio had been away from her for a while now. The time that they had spent apart inside the game was great, and even though they were together in their own world, the fact that they were apart for a long time here wasn’t going to change.

He was away, into a place that was simply too far away and in a dangerous place where monsters that they have already had bad experiences with lived.

These monsters were nothing like the evil beings that he had fought off with the help of the blessing, but they were ferocious in their own manner.

Even the smallest of them could unearth a tree with their bare fangs. They were simply dangerous, and yet, the only reason he had been able to survive in that dangerous place, most certainly, was thanks to a certain being that had been protecting the creatures of that forest.

The being that had followed him out of that forest, and the being that had been following him since a while ago…

“So you were conscious of someone. I knew it.”

This creature, the divine being that had protected him and all the creatures of that forest for the entire time he was there, had stayed with the other creatures in the forest that they ended up in after passing through Sera’s gate.

It wanted to find the creatures of the forest in a suitable place in that new forest, give them time to adapt and help them with anything that they needed.

It was a new environment so they would need a lot of things to get used to that place, so it wanted to stay there and look after those creatures, but for some reason, it appeared here a while ago.

And, Elio’s eyes were the only ones that could sense its presence.

It was hiding, but he knew it was following him, watching him, and keeping an eye on whatever they were doing.

It was a fun being, but Elio owned it his life. And, if it was going to follow him around, Elio at least wanted to thank it for coming with them, and introduce Alex and it.

“You can come out. This place is fine.”

It had followed them inside his room as well, so Elio found this behavior quite funny.

It was a divine creature with a great knowledge, it was quite wise as well so it should have known about privacy that the humans cherish so much.

“Don’t be like that. You know I can see you, right?”

He wanted to laugh when the creature didn’t come out even after a while. But, he did not do that.

He simply waited, and simply kept looking at it. It was moving around the big room that they had, seeing things perhaps, but, after all that, it was also slowly closing in on them.

-Oooooooooooong.

Alex was patient with it since she could see the special expression that Elio had right now.

She knew this was special for him. He had told her all about this being, so she also knew how it had helped him as well as Sera.

It was unique and mysterious as well…

{ “I’m not going to stay here, I’m just passing by.” }

So she had wanted to meet this being for a while now.

Find your next adventure on empire

“Hmm?”

“What…?”

Elio had never properly told her how this creature looked as a surprise for later so she has always had her own fantasies on how it might look as well.

{ “Hmmm?” }

But, its actual, fluffy, cloudy, mysterious, mystical, ethereal form caught her off guard.

{ “Miss? Hey, is she alright?” }

She was stunned by the silver fog-like outer body of the creature, and the deep purple eyes that it had… they were one of the prettiest eyes that she had seen in all her time in this world.

Her eyes were pretty as well, but they were nothing compared to those purple ones. Especially with the silver that was covering them.

This creature, this divine being…

“Cute!!!”

It was adorable.

“Cute cute cute~~~! This is the cutest being I’ve seen after the Phoenix babies!”

She wanted to hug the creature, but before she could grab the being, the being moved away from her.

“Hmm?”

And, it happened so quickly that Alex couldn’t believe it even though she had just seen it happening with her own eyes.

“Hey! Why did you run away!”

{ “What the hell is wrong with that girl!” }

The creature did not understand why Alex had suddenly jumped on it, but it did not want to get played by some crazy psycho.

It was good saying hi and hello from distance, getting too close was not what it wanted.

“Hey now. Don’t be like that.”

But it couldn’t stop Alex.

-Swish!

She used her {Blink} to close the distance between them, however, the creature was still faster.

“Hey! At least give me a hug!”

The creature started running away from the crazy girl, complaining how she was actually someone crazy, out of her mind as well.

It was saying no, it was screaming that it did not want to get touched by her, and yet here she was, screaming and chasing after it.

{ “Stop her, you idiot! Stop her or I’m going back!” }

Well, Alex liked it. It was fluffy, it looked adorable, and she wasn’t going to let it get away without getting a hug from it.

-Oooooooong.

“Victor, block that one with whatever method you want.”

“Yes, master.”

She was adamant, so much so that she even called out Sir Victor.

{ “…?!” }

And an archdemon was not something even this divine creature was expecting.

-Oooooooooooong!

“Gotcha~.”

With the help of Sir Victor’s chaos magic that even the divine creature could not predict the strength of, she was able to corner the cute creature, and since she had cornered it already, she hugged it without wasting even a millisecond.

{ “Hey! Get away from me!” }

But the creature still did not like it so after only a few seconds, it managed to get away from them, and then… it ran away and hid behind Elio.

{ “That woman is crazy! Crazy!” }

She somewhat traumatized the little one. But the whole interaction between them was something Elio was already looking forward to.

He knew these two were going to get along well, and he was actually looking forward to seeing them fight together.

“You traumatized the little one, Alex.”

“Hehehe~! But it’s soooooo adorable~. I couldn’t help myself~!”

She loved this being.

It was cute, and at the same time, from their little interaction, she had also judged just how strong this being was.

“And no, she’s not crazy, you silly.”

The creature was hiding behind Elio, so Elio just turned around and shook his head.

He knew the nature of this good bunny. He knew how strong it was and at the same time, how caring it was.

With the divinity that it possessed, the strength that it had was unmatched to anything that he had seen until now, but its main strength was speed.

And, Alex who had once mastered something as difficult as {Blink} knew a good lot about speed.

“Didn’t you say you had heard about the Aber empress of garden of life, Protector of Crimson seas, and White Night’s Red Moon? That’s her.”

Though the ones that he might have heard about and the weak human that he was seeing right now might seem different, they were the same people.

{ “Hmmm?” }

Alex was a famous individual, a master that knew more about divinity than this divine creature itself.

He knew she could help this one get better in some way, any way if possible. And, as he was expecting, if they were going to fight together in the future, he wanted them to be prepared.

Getting used to each other was the first thing that they needed to do.

And for that, they would have to start from here.

{ “That’s her…?” }

Elio knew it would be difficult, but when it comes to Alex, pretty much nothing is easy.

He was prepared for whatever was going to happen with this divine one here.

{ “Are you sure about that, human?” }

He was looking forward to how their relationship develops actually…
