Seraphina was Lady Luciel? How much I want to think everything is just a lie, the memory of the future is very real in my hands. Despite being silent, I could still feel the power of Malice sleeping in Mystelteine.he smiled at me, like children looking at a toy.
“Bos? Oi, Chrysant, sober oi,” said Saber who patted both of my cheeks, “We again in Underworld know. If you do not focus, we may be mamamam Malice,” scolded.
Surprised myself instantly brushed off that hand, “U-um, m-sorry.”
Saber ruffled waist confused,”This you why the hell? Ever since coming out of that cave, your mind's been floating everywhere. Have you had a nightmare?” ask the man.
“... Could be,” I said hesitate.
Saber saw a sloping tree trunk. He jumped up and sat there, patting the side, as if to invite me to sit next to him.
“Then you can tell me. Gini-gini, a couple of weeks man, I'm gonna be your brother-in-law. You can share everything with me!” said Saber cheerfully.
Brother...--in-law?
Pain immediately struck my head. For a moment I could see Seraphina's warm smile, which now turned into the cold look she gave me. My stomach hurts, I want to spit out my breakfast.
What am I supposed to tell Saber? Should I tell you about what I just did? She might believe me. How could I possibly say that his fiancee. that my Brother is the White Order Leader who brings suffering to this world!
I clenched my hand trying to suppress the feeling in my dusty chest. But…
Saber stroked my head gently. I looked into her warm eyes when I saw her. His stupid face that I always wanted to take, now changed like a brother. Is this the face he showed his sister, Dagger?
“I'm sorry, but.. I can't tell you,” said I didn't reject the head rub.
Saber looked at me for a moment and nodded in understanding, "Quiet, you can slowly tell me. But for now, it's good we focus on getting out of Underworld, okay?” he said who then stretched his hand and smiled confidently, “Yoosh! Time to show my cool side to my sister-in-law! Gini-gini, I am also a veteran soldier! Leave it to me, Boss.”
… Ha? People who just yesterday knew how to turn super-radical snow into drinking water, now want to show the way for a Pathfinder? There is a limit people can sotoy know.
But seeing Saber's patience and cheerfulness, the anxiety in my chest was slowly relieved. True, I must not dwell on the darkness in my heart, for both of our lives are at stake in the Underworld. Maybe what I see in the future is just an illusion. However, only by meeting Seraphina in person can I hear a new answer.
When it happened…
I shook my head, “Heh, Diver amateurs like you want to lead a Pathfinder? Stylish,” I said that patted hard on Saber's back, “You are still a thousand years early to say so, Saber!” scold me with a wide grin.
Grimacing in pain, Saber seemed relieved to see me smile. While stroking his shoulder, he asked, “Terus, where are we going, Mrs Bos?”
I glanced at the top of the trees in the jungle. There, I saw the reflection of light from a glass. Hmm, perhaps, from a binocular or concise mirror. I smiled and pulled out my twin daggers, arranged them into a bow and pulled an arrow.
“What if we... hunt a Stalking Princess?” I said take off my magic arrow.
Quickly the arrow of light shot out and broke the branch of its destination. Along with that, there was the cry of the woman who frantically jumped to her rescue. The pale blue-haired figure landed elegantly on the ground, complete with irritated veins on his forehead as he looked at me.
“Tch, goddamn rancid bloke! If you knew I was following you, why would you shoot me? Is there a more elegant way such as leading a message through familiar? Basis, fucking actor,” Nuwa grumbled her legs pissed off.
W-Whoa, I never thought, turned out to be behind his meek style at headquarters, Nuwa. With Black Company's tight black uniform and ponytail-tied hair, I could barely tell the Princess apart from the thugs I used to meet at the market. Oh, my God, I didn't think a tomboy would be the queen of the Black Company.
“I guess that's a great welcome for a stalker like you, right? Princess Sir?” I said pack my twin daggers.
“A-Ah, yes, good Princess,” said Arthur shocked.
“What did you say?”
“READY TO DO, CROWN PRINCESS SIR!”
Nuwa sighed, “Good. Now, you, Ruin Hunter. Sori yes, I'm to the point. Leave this mission and go home. It's an order from Crown Princess.”
H-ha? Oh, my God, what the hell is he talking about? I respectfully opened the golden scroll Arthur gave me.
“With all due respect, I refuse, Princess. This Ruin Hunter came down here on a tip from the Crown Prince, a higher-ranking figure than you,” I said half-mockingly.
“Ugh, you blind bucin,” said Nuwa pinched her forehead irritated, “Gini yes, if you still insist on continuing this mission, you will die, Chrysant.”
I bend my eyebrows, wait a minute, what do you think, Nuwa knows what's going on in this zone? It's true, if I continue this mission and find Adrammalech who has turned into Malice, I will die. But, I still don't understand. Why would a Princess seem to bother going down to the Underworld just to warn me?
Is it possible that Nuwa is a good person? U-Uuuhh..it's impossible!
I scratch my head awkwardly, “Aduh, Princess. Not that I disrespect your orders, but.. I have a bad feeling in this zone,” I said who then knocked on the ground with my feet, “Can the princess feel it? Under this jungle, something was sucking the energy from the world. I'm afraid White Order has planned something dangerous here.”
Of course I can't blatantly say I came from the future. They must have labeled me a lunatic.
“Indeed... Hmm, yes, after you showed it,” said Nuwa who then opened her hand and called the water ball but the ball shimmered and shattered later, and then, “This place messes up the flow of Mana in my body. Is it possible White Order found ‘relik it’? If true.. Angkasa Fortress is in danger.”
I nodded in agreement, “Yup, yup. Therefore, it seems like this zone is very dangerous for a Crown Princess, who will lead the Black Company,” I said then turned to Saber, “How about you escort Princess Nuwa back to Alexandria, Saber?” my many.
If Khanza alone overwhelmed Adrammalech, let alone Nuwa and Saber. Not to mention if we had to deal with Asmodeus, that crazy homunculus. If I'm alone, I might be able to sneak in and maybe kill Adrammalech while he's off guard. But, if three. No, this is too risky. It is better for Nuwa and Saber to leave this zone. At least I can save them.
“What are you talking about, Ruin Hunter? If there is a danger that threatens the Black Company, of course, I cannot let it go,” said Nuwa shuffled her waist proudly, “I, Nuwala Celestie Gremory, said, The Black Company's second strongest Pathfinder will lead this mission. Relax, in my dictionary, there is no such thing as the word fail!” he continued with arrogance.
“H-Haa?! Wait a minute, Princess Nuwa. You have more important tasks —“
Without listening to me, Nuwa turned her back, “If you want me to go home, then you should also come with me. But, I know, you're planning on completing this mission alone, aren't you? Hah, typical Ruin Hunter, the lonely Pathfinder,” her taunts.
“WHAT?! W-You want to fight?” my snapping which then clenched my hand suppressed my irritation, “S-Sialan.if so, whatever. But, remember I am the leader of this mission. You have to follow my orders, okay Princess?”
Princess Nuwa raised her eyebrows in wonder, “Hoo? You, an ordinary blooded, want to rule a royal family like me? Dare to be your mistress.”
“U-uughhh, n-ngeselin. Udah ah, bodo very,” said I who stepped annoyed ahead of Nuwa, “If you both want to come, remember really. If danger will threaten the lives of both of you, immediately run”
Nuwa caught up with me and smiled, “Danger is already my middle name, rancid boy.”
Along the way, the two of us always clashed with our mouths.In the middle of the crowd, Saber just scratched her hair awkwardly.
“Anu... if I want to go home,” Saber murmured, but in the midst of the intense debate I and Nuwa, his voice sank inaudible.
