Chapter 75 - What's The Matter Arisu?

Arisu explained how the land mines could really help their village. In their minds, by doing this plan, they could easily lessen the huge number of their opponents.

Meanwhile, the meeting of the commanders, vice-commanders, Arisu, and Riku swiftly ended along with smiles on their faces. It appeared the concrete plan they made in this meeting gave them hope to win against the invasion.

PLEASE HELP THIS VILLAGE!

They said at once. Although all of them were aware that this man was willing to help their village, still, they wanted to hear him say it out of his mouth.

He stepped forward, knowing by doing this he could increase their relationship with these people. Or much better, they can help him to find a summoning spell that would send him back to the Earth.

"I'm going to help this village with everything that I could. I promise that I'll act with a basis so that we can guarantee none of the Arzotoc Villages' citizens would die." He responded nonchalantly.

"We're looking for this success, sir Riku!"

"We are giving all of our support and trust to you, sir Riku!"

There were the words given by the people who surrounded them. Of course, he was glad about all the good things happening to him. Why? Who's a person gonna think that the outsider before and nearly killed by the guards would earn huge respect from these people. 

Riku and Arisu were looking at each other, grateful that they managed to perfectly build this plan even there were some problems. "You did a great job, Riku."

"You too, lady Arisu." He replied to her before adding these words as he was bothered about something. "You can lift your heads, commanders, vice commanders. We are just the same person here with the same motives. Also, I'm just an inventor, all of you guys are superior to me. I'm trying to say here this formality doesn't be needed, simple greetings towards each other would be fine."

Everyone was gradually nodding their heads as they immediately understood what he was trying to say. Moreover, they were impressed with how this man reacted even though they were lowering themselves.

"Commanders and Vice-Commanders!" And all of a sudden, Arisu called them out. Then, they responded by standing straight, positioning their hands on their chests, didn't bothering even there was a man was lying on the surface. "I think this is the end of our meeting, you can back to your respective sections and continue our preparation. But before that, I would like to thank everyone who shares their useful ideas to protect our village. I really appreciate all of your efforts, and I hope this plan would have a great result. Good luck!"

After she spits these words, she started to leave as she had some business to do in the mansion. "Riku, I have to head home first, there's something I need to check. Are you coming with me or do you want to stay in this place for a little bit?" She asked him as she noticed the commanders were looked eager to know more about him.

Yet, he slowly shook his head as he remembered that he was going to eat with Emma. Inside his mind, that was the promise he made when they were still in the Assima forest. For him, it was so embarrassing if he could fulfill a simple task like this.

"No, lady Arisu, I think I would like to come with you." He moved towards her and murmured these words. "I want to get back in my place since I don't have a proper rest after the expedition."

She was kneading her chin as she totally forgot Riku needed to regain his strength after that expedition. "Sorry about that, you can come with me." She paused for a second, then faces the commanders. "I think I can't leave Riku in this place for some reason. He just came back from the expedition, also, he would be busy for tomorrow since he's going to create the land mines. You can talk to him maybe next time, but in the meantime, let's give him proper rest."

She spun around, heading out of the exit. On the other hand, Riku was waving his hand to them along with an uncomfortable expression after seeing their disappointment. "Sorry about that, but promise next time I'll entertain each one of you and answer some of your questions."

At this point, they couldn't do anything about it, respecting this man must get some rest in order to have enough strength to protect their village against the Rattin Kingdom.

Click!

The door clicked, also it was the signal Riku and Arisu were gone in this meeting place. And all of the sudden, the entire place was enveloped by their chattering and amazement about Riku's ability.

"If you look at him, you can easily tell his power was weaker than the ordinary guards that we have. But when he showed us his fighting style and great ability, your perception of him would surely change." Luxus said in astonishment, at the same time, wanting to learn how to make those precise kicks.

The old man coughed several times. "You're right, Luxus. First, I thought Riku was a messenger since he doesn't possess a huge amount of magical power. With his thinking, fighting style, and aura, we can say that man is on a different level."

"The image of that firing claws would never be erased inside my mind. I would like to see that transformation once again." A sweet voice of an unknown woman was perceived by their ears. As they totally forgot aside from Elder Muckus, Kaz, and Luxus, there was another commander assigned to protect the western section.

Her name was Sliana Vienna, a certain woman that had a sexy body, bust chest, thick thighs, ash black hair, and moderately tan skin tone. Furthermore, because of her low presence sometimes no one could notice that she was there. Also, because of this, she can make a sneak attack without being noticed by the opponents. Or to be more simple, this woman was specialized to become an assassin and killed the priority target in just a blink of an eye.

"Hey, Sliana, when do you get in this meeting?" Luxus said in confusion, wondering how he can't notice the woman sitting in front of him.

"Huh? I come here earlier than you." She responded with a red face, didn't forget the image of those firing claws and the fighting style he used to defeat Giza.

Luxus shook his head, knowing that wasn't the main problem. "You're also commander Sliana, so why didn't share ideas about the invasion. I know it can be useful somehow..." He was well-savvied that because of her nonchalant expression and thinking she can create a plan that would have a big impact on this invasion.

"After hearing your suggestion, I know I didn't need to add more things. Aside from that, adding more ideas it's would add some trouble." She replied as she seemed to want to leave in this place and follow Riku in his way.

Well, she was quite right. She couldn't see any holes in their current plans, so if she suggested something it can change the course of their plans. Moreover, she wasn't expecting that someone could think of an idea of how to lessen the number of their opponent without using her assassination ability.

"That's enough, all the commanders must get back to their respective section to gather the right amount of food and evacuated them in the Eastern Section." Elder Muckus said in a deep tone.

Their eyes went back into serious ones, knowing they had a limited time to execute their plans.

They nodded their heads at once, while Crosolo came back to the meeting hall as he called some guards to pick up Giza and brought him to the place where he could rest.

YES, ELDER MUCKUS!

...

On the other side. A couple of minutes had passed, then Roberto pulled the ropes as he was ordering the bulk horse since they reached their first destination.

"Lady Arisu, we are in the mansion." Roberto politely said in the spot where Arisu could hear his voice.

Riku opened the door of the carriage, then Arisu hurriedly moved along with a bothered expression on her face. "Sorry to leave first, I just need to do something."

He slowly shook his head as he didn't see any problem with this. Also, in his world, a certain man always drops the woman to assure that they are safe. "No worries, lady Arisu." He didn't try to ask for more as he noticed Arisu was trying to hide what she was going to do.

Arisu started to run and effortlessly made a couple of meters away from him. But for some reason, she whirled around and waved her hand. "Riku, I'm going to wait for you here. If you won't come tonight that means you refuse my favor, but don't worry I'll not get mad at you. See you!"

She didn't give him a chance to reply as she swiftly dashed inside the mansion.. This circumstance added to his thinking. "Why she's doing this? What's she's trying to do?"
