22 Rosaleen

The atmosphere around the function hall abruptly became heavy.

Rosie glanced at the surrounding crowd. Upon realizing that she was releasing her domineering aura, that was enough to frighten the fresh recruit. Rosie swiftly adjusted her composure.

'Odd, why do I feel that there is someone gazing at me intensely; however, it should be difficult for the appraisal user to peer at me.'

Rosie proclaimed to herself. While she stared at the huge function hall.

Upon noticing that there are no more abnormalities in the surrounding, Rosie subsequently loosened her guard down.

Kiro, who is sweating profusely; could not help to let out a long sigh.

"—Haa, didn't you say that I would not get in trouble if I used the new appraisal to her?" Kiro grumbled at Fixie. He couldn't confront Rosie's piercing glare; he was so nervous that if he were to behave oddly. The suspicion of Rosie might be directed at him.

"I—I don't know Master! Possibly because Rosie is much stronger than Fixie thought she would be." Fixie exclaimed her innocence; nevertheless, she too was so appalled observing Rosie's reaction. "Though it is a good thing the undetected appraisal feature worked, right? Master!"

Upon hearing Fixie's explanation, Kiro thought her words made some sense; if not for the new feature of the appraisal skill. He might get caught by Rosie if he did not listen to Fixie's advice back then.

"Mm—I don't blame you, Fixie; don't have to worry about it," Kiro assured; still, he was thankful to her. If not for Fixie, he might be in a difficult situation on the first day he saw Rosie.

"Thank you; Fixie, if it wasn't for you—I might end up being miserable on various occasions upon arriving in this world." Kiro proclaimed his sincere appreciation to Fixie.

"Heehee—Fixie is a good lady that will always help Master! So better praise Fixie more; every now and then." She said with a tone that did not hide her happiness.

Hearing Fixie's whimsical voice; Kiro could not help but to feel warm inside.

Subsequently waiting for Rosie to leave the place, Kiro glanced at the transparent screen in front of him.

"Wa—what? My appraisal skill wasn't enough to peer at Rosie?" Kiro exclaimed his bewilderment. He could not believe after upgrading his appraisal to the second stage. He still cannot inspect her.

"Like Fixie's thought, Rosie wasn't your average woman, Master!" Fixie uttered her astonishment upon seeing her status.

"Well, I can see that—I mean look at her title; it says, Guild Master!" Kiro pointed out Rosie's disturbing title.

While Kiro was still shaken after seeing Rosie's status bar. Fixie released another bombshell. "That's not all Master! Look at her name, she is a nobility."

"Ye—yeah, so how am I supposed to approach her now?" Once Kiro mentioned those words, he understood that it would be hard for him to take advance to a person like Rosie.

"Mm—It will be harder than the original plan; however, don't lose hope, Master! As long as you listen to the Great Fixie! Master won't need to worry about Rosie," Fixie asserted her grand plan to pursue beauty.

"Hm, I don't know, I'm starting to doubt the Great Fixie, after this event; the credibility of Fixie's words dimmed slightly." Kiro teased her back for getting ahead of herself.

"What does Master know! Solidify in front of the beauty? Hee—good luck with that." Fixie rebuked Kiro mercilessly.

At the moment Kiro heard Fixie's remark, he could not help to feel ashamed of himself. Kiro knew what Fixie said was right. He could not even talk straight when facing Rosie, so instead of annoying the little Fixie, Kiro admitted his mistake.

"Alright, Fixie's correct, I can't do this without you." Kiro expressed his obedience, while it is the truth that he can't do anything without Fixie.

"Hehehe, don't worry Master! Fixie won't fail you!"

The moment everything concluded, Kiro went back to the beginner's training lounge.

Upon arriving at the familiar cottage, Kiro saw two figures, but to his surprise, it wasn't Alyva's group.

"Hello there," One of the two people outside of the cottage said.

"Hello, I'm Kiro, do you guys know where Aldin and the rest are?" Kiro said. He first thought that he went in the wrong direction, but given with his enhanced brain, the probability of him getting lost was slim.

"Aldin? Are you referring to that guy with a clumsy appearance, who uses a sword?"

Upon hearing Aldin's description, Kiro could not help to chuckle.

"That's right it was him, do you know where I can find that clumsy swordsman?" Kiro threw a joke, but after stating those words; he heard a familiar voice.

"Who do you call a clumsy swordsman!"

Glancing behind his back, Kiro saw Aldin and his group.

"Welcome back, Alyva, Alina." One of the two-person said.

"We're back Mirabell, Missa," Alyva replied softly, then glancing at Kiro who finally went back to their camp. "Welcome back Kiro." She said while observing Kiro from top to bottom. Alyva could not believe the drastic change of Kiro's bearing. His posture right now is filled with reliance, while his eyes were sharp as a blade, that she could not almost recognize Kiro upon their arrival.

But after seeing his familiar black hair and pitch-black eyes. Alyva is now sure that the person who was talking to the siblings was Kiro. Behind her is Alina, who was looking curiously at Kiro; since, the event at that time, she did not have many chances to have a proper conversation with him.

"I'm back, Alyva, Aldin, Alina," Kiro called out their names, while his gaze stopped at the familiar figure of Alina.

"We-welcome back, Kiro," Alina shyly replied, she was still embarrassed to discuss with Kiro; she could not help to vividly recollect Kiro's figure that day, when every time she glanced at him.

She was only a youthful maiden, her only interaction with the opposite gender when she was working at the wooden hatch pub; however, every time someone took advantage of her, Alina wouldn't watch there and sit idle. For that reason, she always got into trouble.

"Yes, I'm back," Kiro said while smiling at her. He wouldn't let this opportunity go. Kiro wanted to mend their misunderstanding before it's too late.

But Aldin can't read the mood between the two. Glancing at Kiro, Aldin called him out.

"Hey Kiro, it's been a while, how did your training go?" Aldin said. He's been wondering since then what kind of training Kiro was receiving from the infamous Invincible A-ranker.

"It's been a while Aldin. My training went smoothly, the old man finally let me go after I defeated the white wolf." Kiro replied back, but deep inside he could not help to curse Aldin for not reading the mood.

Glancing at the siblings behind his back, Kiro asked. "Who are they?"

"Oh, they are Mirabell and Missa, after you left, the two of them joined the training course and Instructor Ralph decided to let them stay at our cottage."

After Aldin introduced them. The siblings went forward and greeted Kiro once more.

"Nice to meet you! Kiro, I'm Missa," She said while smiling gently to Kiro.

Hitting the shoulder of her sister, Missa indicated her sister to introduce herself. "Just like Aldin said, my name is Mirabell."

If the first sister Missa has a kind and cheerful aura around her, the second sister Mirabell has a cold and quiet disposition.

Giving a nod at the two, Kiro introduced his name once more. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kiro, I hope we all get along well in the future," Kiro said as he gave them a polite bow.

The moment he finished his self-introduction, Alyva called out. "Now everyone knows each other, Missa, Mirabell, can you help me to prepare the food in the kitchen? I wanted to make a feast to celebrate Kiro's return."

"Okay, Alyva," Missa replied at her while her sister gave Alyva a slight nod for approval.

"Aldin, can you fetch more firewood at the warehouse?"

"But didn't I just refill the wood early in the morning?" Aldin looked at her with confusion. This time Alyva wrinkled her eyebrows. "Just go to the warehouse and get more wood!"

Upon hearing her strong and commanding voice, Aldin could only helpless sight, as he headed to the warehouse.

"Okay let's go, you guys," After the two siblings went inside, Alyva secretly winked at Kiro then went inside.

Seeing her playful expression, Kiro wasn't stupid not to realize that Alyva created an opportunity for him to talk with Alina. He could only give his thanks to her if the opportunity arrived.

Glancing at Alina, who's looking at Alyva's group with bewilderment, Kiro slowly approached her.
