Chapter 81 - Artemis 2

"Oi! Hermes! Is that Artemis? No way!" Hestia said to Hermes as she pointed at Artemis.

"Maybe Artemis also got used to the life in lower world." Hermes said as he patted his hat.

Jin then looked at Hermes and asked, "When will we depart?"

"This night." Hermes looked at Jin and said.

"Hmm... Let me call my comrades first." Jin said as he pick his mask from Artemis' hands and put it back on his face.

Artemis looked at him who was wear his mask. She said, "Not only you have a pure soul, you also have a beautiful face."

'Me? Beautiful? You have to use the word handsome if you want to praise me.' Jin was taken a back at her words. Jin didn't notice it but his face was more define and mȧturė now compare to when he's still in DxD world. All the impurities in his body were expelled while cultivating, so he didn't notice that he was becoming handsome through these years.

"Thank you my dear children. Though you're not my followers, but, during this trip, we were allies." Artemis said.

She then lifted up her hand and said, "Please, give me your words."

"As you wish." Jin removed his mask and kiss the back of her palm.

...

Jin, Artemis, and Hermes was on the top of the wall of Orario.

"Wait, for my comrades they come here." Jin said to Hermes. He then looked at Artemis who was looking at the horizon.

'Is there a way to save here?' Jin thought while looking at Artemis.

After a few minutes, Mercphobia came with Jellal and Ur. Jin asked him before to call them.

"So this is your comrades?" Hermes said as he looked at the two newcomers. He was wondering why all of them was wearing a mask with the same design.

Jin looked over and said, "Yes, they are my comrades."

Ur walked forward and nudge him. She said, "I only left you for a while and you already hook up a goddess. I'm really impress at your skill for getting girls."

Mercphobia already told them what's happening on their way here, so they know something about this.

"No, It's just an accident." Jin replied to her with a force smile on his face.

"Hoo~ accident, huh?" Ur then looked at Artemis.

Pak!

Hermes clapped both of his hands getting their attention. He then said, "Okay, I've prepared a battle gear for all of you."

"No, I don't need it." Jin shook his head.

"I quite like what I wear." Ur said as she looked at her clothes.

"Don't need." Mercphobia said.

"Well, if they won't need it then I also don't need it." Jellal said.

"..." Hermes was speechless. He didn't know what to say right now.

Suddenly a three small dragon appear in the sky and the dragons slowly descend on the ground.

"These dragons are our transportation to get into that place." Hermes started to explain to them.

"Okay, let's hurry up and get on it." Jin said as he jumped on the back of one of the dragons.

"These dragons are surprisingly subservient. Maybe because of... " Ur said while patting the head of the dragon. She then looked at Mercphobia.

Hermes heard what Ur said. He turned his head to Ur and saw her looked at Mercphobia.

...

The six of them ride the dragons and immediately depart. Jin and Artemis ride the same dragon. Ur and Jellal was riding one dragon, while Hermes and Mercphobia ride the remaining dragon.

It will take them atleast ten days before they reached their destination. Jin and the rest always travel around the world so they don't have any problems in it. Though, this was the first time they were riding a dragon while travelling. They always walked around when they were travelling and they don't use any kind of transportation.

Well, Jin was surprisingly okay after he ride the dragon. He guess that the motion sickness of a dragon slayer will only effect when he was riding a vehicle.

'Well, Natsu wasn't feeling nausea when Happy pick him and when Cobra was riding Cubelius. So I guess it's fine to ride something like this.' Jin thought.

He then looked at Artemis who was in front of him. He decided to talk to her for him to not get bored. He also don't have a plan to get attached to her. He won't do that until he have a sure way to save her. If get attached to her and don't have a way to save her, then he don't know what he will do at that time.

Ur looked at Hermes and asked, "Hey, Hermes where is our destination?"

"We are going to the ends of continent, far from Orario. To the ruins of Elsos, which are in a vast and unexplored forest." Hermes said.
