...Elena Re-emerged!...
...(.(.After 10+ BAB has no airtime)...
Naruto, Eriza, May, August, and Shin were having a conversation about some things after the atmosphere became more conducive. They did not go too far and were still in the diner as a place for conversation. But unfortunately, August asks some things that make Naruto's situation difficult, he himself is also confused to answer how.
"So, Naruto, get used to telling me where your village is?" ask Shin.
"Well, so you're here, yeah, Naruto. I didn't expect you to be friends with a Prince, a Hero, and a Princess. Absolutely an amazing choice, yes."
Naruto and Eriza looked at the origin of the sound behind Naruto. There, Elena was standing with her hands crossed and smiling face happy to see the three of them. I don't know what the motive was behind the smile, but Naruto felt calmer and happier that Elena could take over the subject.
'Hee-san! It's good you're here, I find it hard to lie to them both about where we came from.'
'It's okay, Naruto. I already know what you're thinking. After all, being bad at lying is not a bad thing. It tells me you're not someone who likes to lie. Well, but you still wouldn't be able to lie to this Nee-san of yours even if you were an expert at lying.' Elena nodded as she understood the intent of Naruto's eye contact and read his thoughts.
*Brk!*
The ground began to rise in a small area, and eventually formed a tube-shaped chair without any decoration. This was the magic that Elena did that was unwilling to constantly stand up despite being able to do it all day.
Elena sat down on the stone chair and asked, "So, can you repeat what you said? I also want to know what topics you're discussing."
Elena's sight wanders from Shin, then continues on August, and ends on May. After that, he turned his eyes back to Shin and waited for what he would say.
'This prince is very weak, he is not a threat. The princess has no fighting skills. And lastly for the Hero, he's good enough to be a fighting opponent, but still not strong enough to hurt me. I don't need to read their minds, I can judge all of this from the physical appearance of the three of them.'
'Is your assessment accurate? You judge the three of them by the cover alone, you know, said Kurama.
'Just calm down, Kyuu-chan. I'm sure my judgment is 86% accurate if it's just from physical appearance like this. But it is true, after all, the experience that one has done will be painted on their body sometimes. Well, if you're not sure, it's better to stay alert.'
"I just saw that Naruto had a unique magic that caught my attention. But unfortunately, he said that it was a unique magic from his village and he could not just tell it to strangers. So, I wonder, can I go to the village referred to by Naruto?" Shin made a summary story of what happened earlier.
"Fumu, fumu, so it's like that, yeah. All right, I get it. In essence, you want to know the location of the village that Naruto said, right?" Elena nodded her head at Shin's explanation.
"Yes!" Shin nodded.
"Alright, if that's what you want," Elena agreed.
*Zrrtt!*
*ss!*
Elena continued by putting her hand into the shadow, then came back out while carrying a rolled up parchment.
The parchment looked like a map. His appearance was shabby and old-fashioned, as if he had a magical and special power that enveloped him. All of them including Naruto were astonished at what Elena would do next.
"It! It was a map to go to the village we meant." Elena gave the parchment to Shin.
"Hmm?" Shin opened the parchment scroll and was astonished when he saw the contents. The parchment is empty and there are no maps there. This made him ask inwardly, was Elena wrong in giving the scroll.
August looked up at the parchment Shin was holding before he asked, "Have you made a mistake? There's nothing on this map, just an empty parchment."
"No, no, no, that's right, really." Elena shook her head before showing her smile to all of them. "Only, inside the parchment is an ancient and mysterious magic."
"An ancient and mysterious magic?" They all repeat these words.
"Really! The map will only show the contents in it to the chosen people, the map will not show itself to anyone. And since it was an ancient and mysterious magic, ordinary magicians would not be able to find the hidden mechanisms within that map. I'm sure you can't find anything, can you, Shin?" Elena pointed her face which had a smile on Shin.
Shin narrowed his eyes and proved the truth about Elena's words. However after she was unable to find any magic there, she decided to stop and acknowledge the prowess of the parchment Elena had given her.
He was a great magician in spells, swords, and enchantment magic. With his current ability, he could observe whether an object was a magical object or not with little effort.
"Oh, right. I can't find any enchantment magic in this parchment. Maybe this is really something very foreign." Shin held onto his chin, thinking about the map.
'Really? Are you sure that's not the usual parchment you get from Noctis?' ask Kurama.
'No, really, Kyu-chan. I'm pretty sure I didn't take the paper wrong. From the beginning, I did just give Shin ordinary parchment.'
'Wow, really a woman who is very good at lying. I didn't think you could make an ordinary parchment seem like it was such an incredible thing, khukhukhu." Kurama chuckled at the way Elena said that.
Just by using Elena's speech ability, she managed to fool all of them by turning their gaze on an ordinary sheet into a very sacred object. This must be something that is quite great for Elena because rarely does she not use her powers of light in solving problems like this.
Naruto had realized some of his true strangeness, but he decided to keep his mouth shut and follow his older sister's plan. After all, she knew if Elena was doing this for her own good that just a moment ago it was hard to find an excuse.
"Bye the way, I still haven't properly introduced myself before. So if you guys allow me to, I'm Elena Uzumaki, just call Elena. I already know the three of you for being famous, but I'd prefer it if you'd tell me your nicknames." Elena showed a friendly smile to the three of them.
