"Does that an that you're planning to pursue now? I'm letting you know that I'm not that easy." Anna tried to tease him back.
"Woah. I wonder how you can be so confident? I just talked about philosophy, and sohow you linked it to how much I wanted to marry you?" Noel looked at her as if he was disgusted.
Anna flipped her body so that she could look at Noel's face from above. "Is that so? Are you sure about that?"
She knew that Noel would express it that way, so she looked like it didn't bother her a bit.
Noel couldn't help but flick her forehead.
"Ouch! What are you doing?" Anna asked while rubbing her forehead. "Did you just lose an argunt with and choose to retaliate with that flick?"
"It is not that simple. What I wish to do is sothing that cos with a huge price… I'm not going to let soone shoulder that burden for no reason." Noel shook his head. "I have my own responsibilities, you know."
Anna smiled. "As expected of Noel Ardagan, I guess?"
"Of course." Noel rose from the bed and said, "In any case, I want you to know that I recorded your promise. Once we're done with this trip, you're going to tell a lot of things."
"I am not soone who will take back my words." Anna harrumphed. "But it will take a long ti to tell you about everything."
"I have a lot of ti. Besides, I might have a question and we can even create a road map about everything that has happened so far, connecting the dots."
"Haha. Do you know it will take at least a week to do that?"
"Are you not up for it?"
"Of course, I'm ready! Besides, I'm also curious about what you can find from my information." Anna suddenly grinned, teasing Noel, "When that happens, how are you going to pay ? Don't tell you're going to pay with your body?"
"Maybe I should flick your forehead with my sword…" Noel let out a long sigh.
"Hehe." Anna made a cheeky grin as if she had just won an argunt.
"I've told you about my two spirits, right? Those two have a 100% conversation rate, aning that I have twice the limit of normal people with that 100% conversation rate. In other words, I can reach a higher stage with at least half the requirent, let alone with the fact that you only have a 95% conversion rate or other people are lower than that… Do you know what I an?"
"So, you're going to the top?" Anna asked with a serious expression.
"Yeah. Just think of it as owing you a favor for now."
"I am also a noble, you know. I'm going to make sure to charge you with a high interest."
"As long as it's reasonable, I don't really mind. Don't forget that the favor will be determined by how useful your information is. If you force to pay an exorbitant price, I won't pay."
Anna extended her hand. "Then, we have a deal?"
Noel shook her hand without hesitation. "We have a deal."
After reaching an agreent, Anna rose from the bed and looked at Noel with a relaxed expression. "You know… After talking about this with you, I feel refreshed. The weight on my shoulders seems to have disappeared."
"That's good for you." Noel sighed. "Still, since you saw yourself in that alternate world, you should have learned about runes as well, right?"
"Yeah."
"Do you know about Rune Body?"
"I know." Anna nodded with a serious expression. "It was the rune that was painted on the body, allowing you to activate the rune just by pouring your Spiritual Energy into that rune. You could say that it used your body as the base."
"Indeed."
"Are you planning to ask to paint the rune on your body?" Anna asked, understanding what he wanted.
"That's what I want, but it seems that there are things that have to be done first." Noel paused. "I also want to know about the True Spirit Body."
"True Spirit Body, huh? You shouldn't think about this for the ti being. After all, if you are trying to invoke that ability as a Spirit Master, the price will be your life force."
"Then, does that an it's alright for you to use it, but I can't?" Noel frowned.
"No. I don't an that way. But if you're still adamant about it, then my answer remains the sa. I won't teach you about the True Spirit Body." Anna was simply worried that Noel would abuse it.
But Noel added, "Even if it ans I am going to die because I lack power?"
"It's precisely because you're being targeted that I can't teach you about it. I'm sure that you're going to abuse that power! Instead of the True Spirit Body, you should learn everything from the hermit. That's why we even hold this trip."
"…" Noel sighed in disappointnt. He only wanted to get stronger.
"How about this? As soon as you reach the Spirit Grandmaster, I will imdiately teach you about the True Spirit Body."
Noel thought for a mont and nodded. "Alright. We shall do that."
"In that case, we shouldn't waste too much ti here. We should regroup with the rest, have dinner, and discuss our next move."
What they did was the sa as what she said. They had dinner together and discussed their current condition as well as their path.
The discussion didn't last for too long before the conclusion was made. In fact, they all reached the sa conclusion.
The road ahead was filled with demons. Even Nicole couldn't find a gap in their rank. Dimitri and Damian could fight, but it would be troubleso if Superior Demons joined the fight. And this ti, there were two Spirit Masters, Noel and Anna.
Hence, there was only one thing to do.
"Retreat!"
