NOVPUBThe former slave girl held Kuufa’s arm. Kuufa felt that she should be able to decide now.
Until now, Kuufa had not been able to give the girl a name. She had been hesitant to give her a name, thinking that she was not good enough to make such an important decision.
But now she knew that it was not the right way to think about it, she needed to have more self confidence. If she remained humble forever, she would be disgracing everyone’s appreciation of her.
Kuufa gently placed her hands on both shoulders of the former slave girl.
“How about I call you… Mirai?”
“Mirai?”
“I was hoping that you could leave your slave past behind… and walk with us…”
“I understand, Master. I will now call myself Mirai.”
Mirai, the former slave girl, smiled. Natasha thought that her naming sense was a little naive, but of course, she didn’t mention it.
She was more concerned about Mirai’s magic power, which even Sage was unaware of. Even for her, it was hard not to wonder if she should just leave things as they were.
However, Mirai’s attachment to Kuufa made her decide that it would be foolish to think anything bad about it.
“And don’t call me master…”
“Okay, Master.”
“Why…”
Kuufa slumped down. She wanted to make it clear that she didn’t like being called Master, but it didn’t work out.
In the end, Kuufa felt that it was the result of Mirai being a slave before and it would still take her some time to dispel these notions.
“X-Piece and the future, huh? Oh, for God’s sake, just go as far as you can go!”
“Yes, Natasha-san, I’ll travel to the end of the world.”
“The end of the world, huh?”
Natasha’s expression turned cloudy for just a moment, but she immediately smiled. Litty, sensing something, was about to ask a question, but retracted it.
“You know what? When you guys get to take the Semi 2nd Rank Promotion Exam, come to me. I’ll give you all the information I know.”
“Thank you. But we want the experience to be personal.”
“It’s too late for that if you die or lose someone.”
Litty was silenced by Natasha’s persistence. The shadowy look on her face told the whole story of Natasha’s experience. It was the very reason she had almost failed the exam for the 1st Rank Promotion.
“…Information is a great weapon. But first, for your 2nd Rank Promotion Exam. Who is the examiner and where?”
“A guy named Power Robin, in Taharajal.”
“That perverted pants…he’s the most unreadable one. I remember there was a semi-unexplored underground ruin there.”
“Semi-unexplored area?”
“There are huge underground ruins in that place. I’ve never been there, and I’m not sure if I have the strength to go there. I’m not sure if I can help you with that…”
“Then maybe I can help you with that.”
Before they knew it, Ilysis was standing at the entrance to the medical room. She appeared as if it were natural and mingled with Litty and the others.
None of them were able to react while she was just going at it at her own pace.
“Wha, how did you…?” (Roma)
“It’s an easy thing for me to do, Roma.” (Ilysis)
“Yes, that’s right, Ilysis-san is spectacular.” (Litty)
“Litty, you have to ask yourself a few questions. Isn’t this person a stalker?” (Roma)
“Well, I just wanted to celebrate X-Piece’s creation as a party.” (Ilysis)
Roma was shocked to learn that Ilysis had been listening to them for a while now without them knowing and couldn’t even ask her about the bathtub incident with Litty.
Stroking Myan’s head, Ilysis took the liberty of pulling a chair up and sitting down.
“Your destination is Taharajal, right?”
“Yes. It’s going to be a long journey.”
“Then you’ll be crossing the sea. Okay, I’ll give you a present.”
Ilysis stood up and caught everyone’s attention. Her presence, coupled with her height and style, was something that even Roma had to acknowledge.
Although she was now trained as a dancer, she realized that she was no match for Ilysis in terms of attractiveness.
“The ocean is a scary place. So just in case…” n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
The corners of Ilysis’s mouth lifted in a grin, and then she pulled her sword from its scabbard.
