"I appreciate the information about the Freya forest but as I said I should get on with the story as there is still more that needs to be said that I think you should know." Shaman was a little nervous about telling Hiko about the cult that seed to have put a target on both hers and Elysia's head but first she was going to talk about her relationship with Elysia.
Hiko crossed her legs and begun to listen to Shaman who begun to explain the situation with Elysia without revealing that is was the cult and calling them slave traders for the anti.
"WAIT YOU ONLY KNEW EACH OTHER FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND YOU STARTED DATING!!!" Hiko stood up and slamd her hands on the table making it slightly crack where her hands were. Shaman and Elysia both grabbed a hold of each other as Hiko spooked them with the sudden outburst.
"This can't be happening." Hiko grabbed hold of her face and sloped back down to her chair and began to sulk.
"Why can my friend's daughter get a girlfriend in 2 days and I can't even get a man to go on a date with ." Hiko seemingly began to have a mid-life crisis in front of Shaman and Elysia, but after the spook they were now trying their hardest not to laugh at her.
"Life does not work like that, you can't just wake up and love soone you need to actually spend ti together, tell , HOW DID YOU DO IT!" Hiko looked intently at the 2 girls as clearly there was a secret to it and she needed to find out.
Shaman took a deep breath to get rid of the laugh she was holding and now just began to hold Elysia's hand.
"Well I have this habit of getting really attached to soone easily and to see Elysia try so hard for my thoughts instantly went to love and i could not help reciprocate Elysia's feelings that she clearly expressed." Shaman's face went a little red and Elysia was very happy to hear what Shaman had to say as it seed like she had completely swept Shaman off her feet.
Hiko then looked at Elysia for answers as she did not get a good enough response from Shaman and was hoping that Elysia was the answer to all this.
"Well uhhh, when Shaman broke into the underground base and I saw her break out I had this feeling of deep gratitude towards Shaman and after she was willing to take in all I could think about was her and so I jumped the gun and it sohow worked out despite my rushed approach." Elysia scratched the back of her head as this was the first ti outloud saying how she fell in love.
Hiko could visibly be seen dying on the inside as this was the most ridiculous and boring love story she has ever heard.
"I think we may have killed Hiko." Shaman felt a little uneasy but could not help find Hiko's reaction amusing.
"I don't know what she expected." Elysia thought Hiko was expecting so sort of tragic story that would take a while to explain but instead she got sothing that was way below her expectations.
After a few minutes Hiko finally ca back and shook her head.
"You know, that's not how it's supposed to go yet here you are." Hiko leant back in her chair and looked down on herself. She let out a sigh as there was nothing she could do or complain about.
"Well I am glad things are working out for you and I hope that nothing separates the two of you." Shaman was a little shocked at the sudden change in attitude in Hiko but nonetheless appreciated the words.
'Well if Elysia does betray I believe she loses all her power as the grant system will strip all the acquired power through the system.' Shaman thought back to the grant system description which reminded her that only people that pledge loyalty are able to be given one.
"Thank you." Elysia spoke up as she could see Shaman deep in thought and did not want to leave Hiko hanging.
Shaman broke out of her thoughts as there was still more to be said.
"Ahem, anyway, our relationship was quick but honestly it was going to happen anyway plus there is one more thing which I saved for last as it is the most important." Shaman wanted to move on for Hiko's sake and she also needed to hear the situation.
Hiko raised an eyebrow and was a little worried that the next thing could be much worse than her friend's daughter getting a girlfriend quicker than she could get a suitable date.
Shaman saw that Hiko was ready to listen and started to explain how the past 2 cities seemingly have an underground cult and they are trying to summon sothing.
"The story I said before about the slave traders, well actually they were the cult and were going to use Elysia's blood as the final sacrifice to active whatever they have under the city."
"After that we moved straight away to Cholden but they were also there and targeted us to use our blood but we manage to kill the person behind it and escape but it also seems like now we are being hunted in general as we are a valuable resource to this cult and this whole thing seems a lot bigger than just a small group." Shaman hoped that Hiko may have information about this group since she is one of the superpowers of the human territory.
"Did any of them touch you?" Hiko spoke in a stern tone as it seed like a fuse had gone off.
"I did get captured but was able to break free since the city lord was dumb and thought I was weak." Shaman did not want to lie to Hiko but that may have been the right choice.
"I'll be right back." Hiko got up and began to use her fire to teleport.
"Wait, I already killed the city lord, there is no reason to go over there and do anything!" Shaman quickly spoke as she felt like the maps may have had to be redrawn if she did not stop Hiko.
The flas slowed down and Hiko stopped her teleport and took in a deep breath.
"At least you dealt with it." Hiko had seemingly calm down as she planned to go to Cholden and murder the city lord that captured Shaman but it seed like she was beaten to it.
"The reason why we tell you this, is because we were wondering if you know who is behind this organization." Shaman judged from that reaction that Hiko was not a part of it and that this is sothing she is unaware of.
Hiko was in deep thought for a mont as this whole situation could be a lot more serious than just a small group.
"It has to be the damn church." Hiko ca up with a response and with what she has been told so far about the church it is no surprise that they would also be evil.
'Typical, they usually always have sothing to hide and just like other novels it seems like it is the sa case here.' Shaman half expected this to be the case but did not want to assu things as using her knowledge from fantasy novels have not always been right.
"They are against this whole beastman alliance and want to beco the higher power of the entire continent but due to Elfhiem and the Fox realm being much stronger they have not been able to do anything. But if what you say is true then they could be planning sothing that could put everyone in danger." Hiko had grabbed her chin as this was very crucial for her since she is the only one who had not aligned with the church.
"So do you think that is why they are trying to get rid of you since you can easily interfere with their plan." Shaman guessed that the church was now the puppetmaster and it was unable to get its strings around Hiko and now they are just trying to straight up get rid of her.
"Well I an Hiko is one of the strongest people so they can't just exile her so they must be trying to not get rid of her by killing her but just keeping her in the dark while keeping up appearances." Elysia had chid in.
"You may be right but this is too big for you right now, you have to get stronger before taking on the church as they may have all the royal families backing them and fighting against a tier 10 is not so simple." Hiko began to tap her foot on the floor as she was deep in thought.
"Fair enough, we really should not be sticking our noses in it and focus on our own goals." Shaman realized that they should not be getting involved as they are too weak to do anything.
"Alright it is decided I am going to teach as much as I can in the next month and then I am going to have to investigate this for myself." Hiko made a declaration and was determined in making Shaman and Elysia powerful warriors.
Shaman and Elysia knew how serious this could be and were ready for this month of tortures training.
"Girls I hope you are ready as this is going to be one of the hardest months of your lives." Hiko looked at the girls for their response.
Shaman and Elysia nodded which put a smile on Hiko's face.
'Cecilia I hope I can make you proud.' Hiko was all the more determined and began to think of how to train these girls for the next month.
