"Adel, you just need to na her na." I put my hand on top of Adel's as she excitedly looked at the blue spirit in front of her.
"Nissei." Adel reached her hand out and the blue spirit landed in the palm of her hand. It looked up at her and smiled before hugging her finger. Adel looked so happy I felt slightly jealous, but since it was her spirit, then this was normal.
"Since we are here, we should go see the spirit king." I felt it was not right to co here and take one of his kin away without at least talking to him first. I did ask S0phie if she wanted one but she only shook her head. She did find spirits interesting, but she did not seem to want one following her around.
When we reached the top of the mountain, the spirit king sat there staring at . His gaze fell on Nissei. He did not say a word. It just seed his aged gaze was very profound. It was only after almost a minute that he finally spoke. "I see a little one has ford a contract. I guess this is also destiny. Little dragon, please watch over this world. I am sure you already know that sothing sinister has already appeared. Our ti is limited."
"I know. And I will do everything I can to make sure that I destroy this threat. My life, yours, and the life of my loved ones are all at stake now. As such, I will not sit by and allow my peaceful life to be disturbed. I will be sure to grow in power. I will be sure to gain enough strength to face this threat head on." I could only hope I had the ti.
"If you are really willing, then you may be able to go to that place. Co back here in two years. At that ti, I will send you and your companions to a place. A place not even your attendant can go. I will explain more the next ti you stand before . For now…. Go…." The spirit king looked down at us, and before I realized what was going on, we were standing at the entrance to the mountain.
"Faith? What did he an to that place?"Adel asked. But I had no answer.
"I am not sure. Wherever it is, we will go together. We will grow stronger together." I smiled and rubbed her head. This seed to appease her, so I did it so more.
"It seems we will not be able to live a quiet life anymore…." Sophie sighed as she hugged my arm. "I had hoped this ti we could live peacefully…."
"As it is, besides Adel, we can not die anyways. But she will soon be on par with us once I bring her into the dungeons. We can only get ready for what is to co." This was the path I had to tread. I could not let this world get destroyed.
"I will follow you no matter where we end up. Even if we end up dying and going to hell." Sophie's eyes were firm. This was a girl who forced transported herself back in ti after all just to be with .
"to!" Adel's cute little cheeks were puffed out. I guess she felt left out.
"Yes, we will all walk through the fiery pits of hell together," I announced proudly. This brought smiles to the two girls' faces but strange looks from the knights who were guarding us.
"Please do not go to hell. It is not a nice place." Atolie suddenly said. She had a look of concern on her face.
"It is just a saying. I would not want to go to hell no matter what." While I do say this, and it is my true thoughts, the fact that I have already killed millions of people does not help my case. I am probably going to be reincarnated as so kind of bug in my next life if I truly die.
We all retired to the carriage for the night. Sophie and Adel were playing a card ga, so I went to sit with Atolie. "Atolie, what do you think our chances of winning are?"
"I can not be sure. With all the ti I have spent with you, I do know that you have overco many strong opponents. But this one is different. I have no idea where the spirit from before will be sending you, but if I am not wrong, it already understands the situation. And normally, such beings are not one to joke around. So If we are really able to gain the strength we need in ti, we might have a chance." Atolie did not seem too optimistic, but I could tell she was relying on this one chance.
"We will just have to make the best of it." This was all we could do.
"Faith! Co take a bath with us!" Adel called out to . I smiled and thought for a mont before taking Atolie's hand. "Co, you too."
Atolie blushed and stood up. She let pull her with as we entered the bedroom area. As soon as Adel saw Atolie she got very happy. "Atolie! It's about ti you joined us!"
Sophie ca over to and began helping undress as she asked: "Are you planning to woo Atolie as well?"
"I am not sure. I did have such a thought, but it would depend if she was willing. Although I do plan to bring Grace into the circle. Are you okay with that?" I asked, looking into her dark eyes.
"As long as I am with you, I do not mind what you do. My love for you will never change. You gave up so much for in our past life. And I am sure you went through a lot in the lives before that. No matter the tiline, I know you will always love those you are close to and protect them with your life. So please, do as you, please. I will always support you."
