Chapter 157 - Restless

"Uwaa... Cruel! So cruel!" Myu cried out as she hugged me. "Why are you so heartless, to leave me alone in that place, waa..." 

I can't say anything to deny her words. I also can not be angry at this rude girl who suddenly entered my cabin. I couldn't bear to drive her away so I stroked her head. 

Of course, I apologized for abandoning her but she hadn't forgiven me. Yes, I understand, to forgiving people who abandon us is not an easy thing to do. 

"I intend to look for you after I heard that you are gone missing, Okay. It's just that, I didn't get a chance. Dishonesty invited me to talk for some time after she kidnapped me. When I regroup with everyone, we've been far away from the sky island where you are. We ask for help from the Flugels to look for you but they return without you."

The masked girl didn't say anything. she buried her face to my chest more deeply and she but me more tightly. Then I will say, some of the sharp parts of her mask pierced my chest. It doesn't give me pain but it's disturbing. 

A few minutes later, "Well ... Actually, I saw the Flugels that you said when they take this airship away. I want to do something but I'm helpless. They are Flugels, people in legend. I doubt I have the ability to fight them. And when they come to look for me, I can only hide." 

"Oh poor girl, you must be scared," I said and hugged Myu more intimate. 

"No, she is not a poor girl," Ruciel said then pull Myu away from me. she did it without hesitation. 

"What did you do?" I look at Ruciel to ask for an answer. 

"She was being deserted in the middle of nowhere not because of our mistakes. It all happened because of her selfishness who wanted to save herself. If she helps us, she will join us," Ruciel told me her mind. she then gazed at Myu and said, "Return to your room and rest." 

"No! I don't want to! I haven't gotten enough Eclaitergi!" Myu said her protest then returned to hug me. 

The action she did make Ruciel's long ears jolted for few times. her eyebrows also curved sharply. "Don't be ridiculous! How can someone be so shameless and selfish!?" 

"As for you, how can someone be so cruel to people who suffer!?" Myu glared at Ruciel. 

"I'm just saying the truth!" 

"I also say the truth!" 

They glared at each other. Their aura also changes to be more dangerous. If left alone, I feel a fight will happen. 

Yes, I don't want to see them punching each other, so ... "Alright, two of you, that is enough. Ruciel, don't be too stern and Myu, don't tease Ruciel. Now, take a rest. We want you to recover, don't leave your room until the doctor allows it, understand?" 

"But I wanted-" 

"Do you understand?" I repeated to cut her words. I did not accept the rejection or words that were not the answer to my question. 

"... Alright, I understand," the girl's answered weakly. 

In the end, Myu returned to her cabin, she left me and Ruciel alone. After the girl completely disappeared, Ruciel immediately gave me a sharp look. 

"Did you act like that to her?" Ruciel demanded. Anger painted her face. 

"Do you mean my kindness to her?" 

"Yes, I don't understand why you act like that to a very suspicious person." 

My fox ear twitched after hearing her words. "Suspicious? How?" 

"Didn't I have said, she collects your hair. A few times, she took your blood and she just did it. Don't you feel pain when a needle prick your skin?" 

...I've never been aware of that. "My Pain Resistance might be the cause of why I don't feel anything. As for my blood, maybe she is a vampire? Don't they need blood to survive?" 

"She walked under the hot sun, remember?" 

"It's only a small amount of blood, it won't be a problem." 

Ruciel sighed and massaged her forehead. "Do you forget that you are a Divine Beast? I heard, every part of their body brings a miracle and is so valuable. So you have to be more careful." 

"I am not a kind of medicinal plant or Mandragora. My body was the same as the body of Beastkin in general. My body and blood does not brings-" 

(Listen and remember this. You are a Divine Beast, you are a rare race, and in fact, your blood brings miracles. Besides all of that, you're so beautiful, have a soft body, sweet scent, warm sheath, and you're so great in bed.) 

Why suddenly, I remember the words said by the jerk! 

...and is that true? Does my blood bring a miracle? 

...the jerk is always serious and even though he messes up my life, he never lies to me. He took care of me with everything he had even though he hurt me. With that, maybe I should take note of his words more seriously? 

I don't know.

"...I will find out why she took my blood. After she is get better, I will interrogate her." 

"That is a pretty good answer." 

With a promise that has just been made, she leave me alone. I don't know what Ruciel will do, as for me, I promise to see Teria. The woman said that there was something she wanted to talk about. Because of that, I went to the control room where she was. 

"That masked girl, is her condition improved?" Teria asked for a moment she saw me. 

"Myu is fine. she follows all the doctor's advice so I believe, she will be healthy in three or four more days." 

"That is good news." Teria nodded. With a hand sign, she asks me to come closer. After she made sure that I was beside her, she pointed to an area on the map. "We are here now, we will reach Wistras Grand Forest in one day. With that, I'm curious, will we still have to greet the Shadow Elf?" 

I've got a good spear from Yuldra, I don't have to collect the raw material from them. Thus, I have no reason to meet the Shadow Elf. I do think like that but no, I still wanted to see the Shadow Elf. 

For someone who comes from another world, I don't want to miss this rare episode. If I don't do it now, I might never be able to do it. 

Set aside my desire, Dishonesty's request to destroy the soul of the Evil Gods, coincidentally related to the Shadow Elf. They know or more precisely, they guarded a place where one of four Evil God is sealed. 

"Yes, we will see them. And according to Ronove's advice, we will land on the border of their territory." 

"Are you sure they won't kill us?" 

"Of course, they won't kill us after they heard a message from Dishonesty." 

Teria opened her eyes wide and then nodded. "With the aid of a legendary figure, we don't need to be afraid." 

"Is that everything you want from me?" 

"No, there are some other things I want to talk about". 

After that, Teria asked me for information about the monsters that we might encounter, places that might hide treasures, and whether there are legendary figures that will come to us again. 

I answered all her questions with the knowledge I got from Ark Fantasy Online. I know there are differences between these worlds and the game. Because of that, I don't forget to use a word, maybe. 

I know, the knowledge I have is not absolute. 

After our chat come to an end, I went to the deck. 

I see the vast sky and felt a gust of wind when I thought about it, I had to destroy four souls of sealed Evil Gods. I know that It is not an easy task to do and I'm not sure, the kids along with the others, including me, are ready for the Quest. 

We talked about Evil Gods, an existence that I can't visualize. I don't know how strong they are, what they can do, and who they are. 

That's right, Dishonesty never told me in detail about each of the Evil Gods. She just told me their name. The lack of information about those world destroyers become one of many things that make me scared. 

And seriously, to complete this Quest, Dishonesty only gave me legendary weapons. Everything else must be done with guts.

However, on the other hand, all this is not too bad considering I don't need to deal with Evil God who is still alive. Also unlike Vier and the other, I will not deal with the troublesome Scourge. I just need to visit a place with tight security then use my Unique Skill and bam! 

One soul of Evil God was destroyed. 

But yes, I have a hunch, everything won't run smoothly. Somehow, I continued to get a feeling that the danger would come to me. 

That made me restless. 

To calm down, I keep thinking about the means to make us stronger. The idea of recruiting some strong Quest Giver also crossed my mind. 

"I hope, there is someone who tells me about things that must be done to deal and complete this Quest.. Drifting around without clear purpose makes me restless."
