Chapter 327: rmaid’s Blessing
Since the day Yale and Kaigur left the Storage Space, rcer and rumi had been together exploring the ship.
Even when it was ti to eat, rcer just sat on the ground with rumi on his lap; he refused to let her on the ground and rumi didn’t try to free herself either.
In fact, they even sleep like that, despite rumi feeling a bit of sha, because she liked how rcer was treating her.
The others on the ship didn’t bother with them as they were busy with their own duties.
“rcer, why there is a farm inside the ship?”
Continuing with the exploitation of the ship, they found a farm that was placed inside the ship. The farm had artificial light and weather powered by formations, so it didn’t feel different from the outside.
“I don’t know. No one ntioned anything about this farm before. We need to report it to master later.”
rumi also nodded to rcer’s words. Of course, Yale knew about the farm since the first day because it was there to provide a supply of vegetables even in the midst of the ocean. Yale’s group had a lot of food on their storage artifacts, so they didn’t need the farm, but they still harvested it when it was ti because they didn’t want to waste food.
Fortunately, the formations were in charge of everything else, so they didn’t need to work as farrs, they just needed to pick up the vegetables.
However, although Yale told about that farm to the others and Julie knew about it from the start, no one told about it to rcer because they didn’t want him to worry about the farm nor they wanted to make him waste his free ti helping there.
“This place is quite beautiful; can we rest here?”
Hearing that rumi was asking to rest, rcer sat down.
“There aren’t beautiful places where you live?”
rcer was quite interested in the ocean and thought that it should be far more beautiful than the farm.
“There are, but… I lived always confined without chances to explore on my own. The only ti I escaped to help my brother I almost died, but I also saw a lot of beautiful places.”
She didn’t have ti to check those places since she was in a hurry to help her brothers.
“I am sorry… In fact, I am similar to you. I never left my clan before eting master, and if I hadn’t t him, I would have died long ago.”
That lack of freedom was the main reason for both of them liked so much exploring. Although they were still confined inside the ship, at least they could move freely inside the ship which was far better than their previous situations.
The scene with both of them together under the artificial sunlight of the farm was quite beautiful, but there wasn’t anyone to appreciate it.
“rcer, do you like ?”
rumi’s sudden question shocked rcer, but he managed to recover calm and answer.
“Yes, I like you.”
rumi smiled after hearing that.
“I am a rmaid. I don’t have legs, nor I can walk… Can you still love despite this?”
rumi really fell in love with rcer after being treated like a princess since almost the mont they t; she was still a little girl, and she never t anyone else of her age before, which made it easy for rcer to find a place in her heart.
However, she didn’t know if rcer just liked her as a friend, as an interesting rmaid, or he truly loved her. In fact, she didn’t even know if rcer understood about love.
“I don’t mind about you being a rmaid! I really love you!”
rcer and rumi were just kids, so they were quite impulsive about matters of love based on things they had read on books.
After hearing rcer’s reply, rumi’s face blushed and softly landed her head on rcer’s body.
“Then…”
rumi was about to ask rcer if she could consider him as a boyfriend when she scread in pain while a light started to surround her body.
“rumi!”
rcer was worried to death when he heard rumi scream.
“This should be sothing the matriarch did to my body…”
rumi was young but not a fool, the only reason she could have that sudden pain was that the matriarch did sothing to her body.
“rcer, I don’t know what is happening to , but you should let go and flee. I don’t want you to be hard.”
rumi didn’t know what was happening to her, but she feared that she would explode or sothing like that and rcer would also die.
“But…”
Before rcer could say anything else, rumi kissed him stopping his words.
“I am really happy about having t you before dying. Please live a happy life.”
rumi said that after ending the kiss and she used all the strength remaining on her body, which was weakening every second, to use her arms for sending her body to the air, hoping that rcer would be able to avoid being hard.
“This will end like this? My first love will end in tragedy? It was interesting in books, but I don’t want to experience a tragedy myself. However, I am too weak, and I can’t do anything.”
rcer thought those words while he was unable to move from the shock of the situation; he didn’t understand what was happening, nor had any idea of how solving it.
“rcer, until we return, you must take care of her.”
At that mont he rembered his master’s words before departing.
“That is true, Master entrusted her to , how can I let sothing happen to her without doing anything? Moreover…”
After thinking that, rcer finally moved and jumped until catching rumi who was still in the air.
“There is no way I can have a happy life if I let you die in front of my eyes!”
rcer shouted while catching rumi’s body before the light on rumi’s body expanded engulfing the two of them and making them disappear from the Storage Space.
Before his body disappeared, rcer managed to hear a thank you from rumi’s weak voice.
At the next instant, rcer didn’t feel any explosion nor mysterious power; he just felt like if soone had put him inside a pool without notice and his body was sinking.
“I am under the water. I can’t breathe.”
rcer was too weak to endure correctly being under the water for a long ti since he was still at the Mortal Rank, but suddenly he noticed that he could breathe despite being under the water
“What is this? Right, where is rumi.”
rcer didn’t have ti to wonder why he suddenly was able to breathe under the water; he looked around until finding rumi floating ahead of him with a light surrounding her body. That light was one of the two only points of light on the room.
rcer swam until rumi’s body and noticed that although she was unconscious, and her face was pale, she was still alive.
From where rumi’s body was, rcer could see a pearl shining with a reddish color that rembered him the color of blood. rcer felt that the pearl was the main reason for rumi being in that state.
rcer tried to move rumi’s body, but despite her body’s being floating, rcer was unable to move it.
“I need to do sothing about that pearl first. Maybe that is the World Sea Pearl that master was trying to recover.”
At that mont rcer rembered another part of the words told by his master.
“After your playti ends, you will need to work hard.”
rcer finally understood that his master predicted that situation and entrusted it entirely to him. Thus, rcer also guessed that no one would appear to help him and rumi, most likely because that wasn’t possible.
“I need to do it myself.”
Although rcer didn’t understand why his master chose him and not soone stronger to do that job, he didn’t mind because he wanted to be the one saving the girl he loved. Especially, since he saw that rumi was ready to die as long as she didn’t harm rcer in the process, he felt that only he could do that job.
rcer swam towards the World Sea Pearl, and so of the reddish light entered into his body provoking a lot of pain; if it weren’t because all the stats of his body were perfect for his rank, he would have exploded.
Despite the pain and knowing that if he continued, he would explode, rcer continued ahead while stopping the suppression of his breakthrough.
Due to that, he imdiately stepped on the Novice Rank while absorbing the reddish energy as a substitute of the formations that usually were used in that situation.
The reddish energy was extrely violent, but sohow rcer managed to turn it on his own energy without too many difficulties. In fact, that was the reason why only rcer could save rumi.
The rmaids with a pink tail had a special capability called rmaid’s Blessing that could be used only once in their lives on soone of the opposite gender that was from a different species.
That blessing gave the target so abilities like breathing under the water or being able to absorb the rmaid’s life force that the World Sea Pearl was emanating after absorbing the blood of the sacrifices made for the matriarch.
However, using the rmaid’s Blessing was a serious matter because it could beco lethal for the rmaid. If the target who received the rmaid’s Blessing stopped loving the rmaid or died, the rmaid would also die.
rcer unknowing that he had obtained such a precious blessing, but he didn’t stop until he grabbed the World Sea Pearl with his hands despite the terrible pain that he was suffering.
A lot of wounds appeared on rcer’s body, but he managed to endure the energy without exploding while he returned to rumi’s side after grabbing the World Sea Pearl with his hands.
The reddish light of the pearl disappeared once rcer neared rumi and then it changed to a pink light that entered on rumi’s body. However, rcer saw that the pink light didn’t seem to harm rumi as it made her face recover its usual color and her expression relaxed.
Besides that, the originally black hair of rumi changed into pink hair like her tail, but rcer didn’t mind about that as long as she was safe.
The World Sea Pearl remained floating near to rumi’s body like if it had found a suitable owner.
Even after rcer hugged rumi with his left arm, and advanced towards the huge door that was in front of him, the pearl, which continued emanating that pink light, followed at his side.
“I need to break this door to exit.”
rcer wasn’t too sure of how his strength was at that mont since he had leveled up far too quickly until the Apprentice Rank due to the energy of the World Sea Pearl.
A Frost Claw appeared on rcer’s right hand for the first ti, and he started to attack the door, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on the door.
“I am finally able to create a Frost Claw, but I am not used enough to use sothing like this.”
After thinking that, the Frost Claw turned into a long Ice Sword. rcer’s control over the water improved a lot since he received the rmaid’s Blessing making that he could change water into ice easily.
“Break!”
rcer used his whole strength in that attack which even created Sword Qi and made him advance to the master stage in swordsmanship in one go.
The door wasn’t too sturdy from inside since that chamber wasn’t really a place to imprison others, so it broke after receiving that attack.
