Here.
Ellaine handed to sothing that appeared to look like an egg. This beige, spotted egg felt warm to the touch, but its shell was rough like sandpaper. Rubbing on it with my shoulder irritated my human skin, and knocking on it caused a deep rocky sound. I did not expect this.
This is your aberration?
An [Aberration of Indulgence], also known as a demonic soul core, was in my hands right now. To be precise, it was the forr aberration of the Demonkin Prince of Envy, which I had usurped during our stay in Estralia. aning, the Prince of Envy had lost one of his insurances were he to die.
KleaHatma had suggested to Ellaine to use it to ensure her life, since she was the only one from Aurora able to use it, even if only when she was in her [Assimilation] form. It was like that vampiric necklace we found in that dungeonit acted as another life for Ellaine were she to receive fatal damage Although, hopefully she wouldnt go out of her way to get beheaded again.
Ellaine nodded, caressing the egg with a small smile. Well, pretty much. Klea told the aberration usually forms around the owners deepest wishes with a touch of the sin type. Since mine is lust, I presud it would be sothing Klea-like.
An egg, huh? I guess it has sothing to do with birth or sothing? I scratched my head at the weird explanation. I honestly thought it would be like its forr forman eyeball monster. And youre saying the demon hadnt spoken to you after you decided to tether your mana to this thing?
The smile Ellaine had instantly vanished as I ntioned that, causing her to sigh as she took back the egg. While caressing it, her eyes looked down on the ground, genuinely saddened at what I said.
Klea did ntion she could store her mana in the aberration to grow back into her real form, but the Goddess would just smite her if she were to do so. However, when I finally decided to use the aberration as a weapon for myself, Klea just she went silent. Its been weeks. Ellaine looked at her mana rings, where KleaHatmas mana should have been stored. I thought she would return, so Ive been going on with my life. I couldnt exactly abandon Master as his apprentice when he needed help, and worrying about Klea wouldnt make sense since she is stuck with .
Her arm then darkened in color, forming her right hand into a massive claw. But, as you can see, I can still use my demonic powers. We made the H.E.S I apologize, the suit armor to accommodate and hide my demonic powers. With all the misunderstandings surrounding Master, I can now be a real threat whenever I want. Although, Im still only level 80 Well, Ill worry about leveling more once I cannot improve myself even further with my current training regint.
The students, Ellaine, and Grimnir all managed to level up a bit while they were here, but they were still nowhere close to those who participated in the war effort. And with Saori training with Belzac and off hunting that grimgarian army, the Grimnir group were practically the only ones who are still needed to power level. Tasianna wasnt level 100, either, but she only needed five more levels to break into the rank A tier.
I know what you are thinking, Hestia. Ellaine caught my attention. I still keep your words close to my heart. Stats arent everything. I know that after traveling for this long, so dont worry. For the upcoming operation, I will be reliable.
I smiled wryly as I heard those confident words from her, before shaking my head. Youve been reliable ever since Griffonpeak, Ellaine. Dont dean what you did back then and during your fight against that Warbringer in Estralia. You are a mber of Aurora, and that ans I can trust my back to you whenever!
Ellaine widened her eyes, taken aback by my words. Sothing happened after visiting Yeos, right? You seem more radiant. More regal, to the point I believe you share almost the sa aura as His Majesty.
Well, that was my cue for a story ti. However, first, my people needed to take a break and we had other people to et, so I opened my subspace. Everybody except Grimnir headed inside for a break..
Once there, we checked up on Haruka, Misaki, and Tamae. The three girls were taken care of by Svena and the other mbers of the staff inside my subspacebringing them food and clotheswhile Daichi and Nishio were both sent to the infirmary, still sleeping off their injuries. Seeing everybody okay, Kazumi, Kohaku, and Ellaine were fully relieved and this allowed us to just take a mont to speak about what happened in the hot springs.
Woooooo! Hot springs! I cheered as I took a dip into the warm waters after a nice scrub, relishing how rejuvenating it felt to let the water perate around my skin and scales after my shedding session. I touched my chest, feeling the empty space where my core usually sat, noticing how it was slowly regrowing.
Sadly, this was a natural occurrence, like growing your hair and nails out, so there werent any practical ways to speed up the growth. Even Neill still needed ti to regrow her broken kirin horn. It would take awhile for to return to my top form.
Yeaaaaaaah! Feels good to be back here with everybody. Only missing Asaka-san and Sensei. Kohaku stretched as she entered the baths, before subrging everything but her head. Her black-red tinted hair waved around with the water.
Kazumi nodded to her best friends opinion, shaking both her katzune ears and tail as she poured a bucket full of water on her head. She then stood up and walked over to the baths edge, clapping happily. Yeah, yeah, a private one feels the best. The ones the dwarves manage arent bad per se, but I really didnt like how they were so, whatchacallit, looky. They really dont know proper hot springs etiquette.
We could start by being a bit more quiet, Kazumi-chan, Misaki chid in, prompting Kazumi to apologize for raising her voice. Dont forget, Chihiro didnt introduce hot springs to the dwarves. They found them themselves, so their etiquette would of course be different from us Japanese. But ooooh, two weeks of being stuck in that stupid cell.
The stoic brunette stroked her slightly feeble-looking left arm, massaging it. She then took in a deep breath, moaning before resting her head on the baths edge. Those Luedbrumdar will pay. It took so long to build up the proper muscles for archery, and they just had to ruin it by giving us nothing but scraps to eat and no way to stretch our muscles. Tsk!
Seeing Misaki so aggravated was such a rare sight, in fact, I was pretty sure this was the first ti when she really let out any of her frustration in front of . Then again, it was understandable since archery was very important to her, and not just cause she needed it to defend herself. A professional athlete who lived and breathed her sport; I guess you call my obsession with being an idol similar to hers. I would definitely be mad if sobody damaged my vocal chords or hearing.
Sorry about that. I should have noticed sothing was up sooner, I told her, even though I technically couldnt have done anything since I was unconscious for nearly two weeks.
Dont be, Hesti-chan.
I turned my head around to the voice, noticing Tamae and Haruka covering their drenched bodies with towels, before they subrged themselves into the hot spring. Just like Misaki, both moaned pretty timidly, letting the stress of their imprisonnt out.
This was our task and we wanted to help Grimnir out, so if we got ourselves in trouble, it should have been ours to solve. Tamae showed a thumbs up and wide smile to encourage , before putting her purple hair into a bun to not let it land in the water. Still, thank you very much for saving us Oooh,still, I do wish we could have done sothing.
Haruka nodded sheepishly, her eyes downcasted. Being weak really sucks. Here I thought I wouldnt have to fight and could just manage being a supportive mber. Unless I want to NEET it out inside the subspace, I really have to beco stronger, sohow.
Haruka
Haruka had a pretty strong fear of blood, which made it impossible for her to fight properly. Which was a sha since her petite fra and quick-thinking would have made her into a good scout. She had perford those roles before she joined Aurora, but it seed she was reconsidering things right now.
I can feel you, Haruka-chan. I want to shoot an arrow through those prison guards eyes right about now.
I snapped my head over to Misaki as she said that, wondering if her inner beast was unleashed after two weeks inside that prison cell. Then again, Haruka did tell how the Edgesworns practically tortured them to spill information on Earths tech. The boysDaichi and Nishioespecially were beaten up, while the girls couldnt do anything but watch. If that were to happen to , I would be pretty furious.
Please, nothing as violent. His Majesty still has to attend the summit
The final two were finally done with their showers. First to enter the baths was Ellaine, who did it properly, while a humanized Beth followed up by nearly diving into the baths, forcing to catch her before she sent everything flying like a fountain. Once we erged from the waters, I coughed up so water from my lungs and literally threw the wyverns out of the place.
Beth! Just because you look like that doesn't an you can just jump in! Control yourselves! I lectured Beth, causing the wyvern woman to smile wryly while in her [Humanize (Moderate)] form. I knew it; she really was acting far more unleashed after she leveled [Humanize] up to level 10.
[Bethlieranha, do not inconvenience our Young Mistress!] From the other side of the hot springs, we could all hear Shay scolded his younger twin, causing the latter to freeze up.
Maybe I should add a soundproof wall. The boys probably heard everything. I shook my head to get the image of Tatsuya and Kyouya just sitting in the water, all naked, while listening to everything we girls were doing and saying. I felt relieved that they hadnt said anything yet.
Once we settled down, Beth and I entered the baths again. We girls then enjoyed a mont of reprieve, before we all started to feel restless at what Ellaine had said before Beth nearly dive bombed us. His Majesty still has to attend the summit, she said, implying King Drangleic and the impending alliance between Artorias and the dwarves.
I stared up as I realized what I had done today. Sure, I knew this was part of the consequences of my actions to free my friends, but goodness, what would be my excuse? I felt so confident I could deal with everything, but just imagining the dwarven high king glaring at made feel so small. Then again, I didnt even know what he looked like, so maybe he wouldnt be so scary.
To clear up my mind, I asked the girls if they wanted a recap of what happened in Yeos, to which they agreed. The boys already knew about it, and we could always explain things to Daichi and Nishio afterwards.
After a pretty long winded retelling of everythingsince I spoke too much about my sister, apparentlyeverybody, outside of Ellaine, felt like things were a bit too crazy. They ntioned how we had just t the Warbringer girl, VifiYok, in Estralia, but she just reappeared again in Yeos. Sure, it sounded weird, but it would have been weirder if she wasnt there, considering the demonkin wanted to destroy the Champion of Yeostar.
Speaking about her, Ellaine and the students did question why I decided to let her live, considering she could beco a future enemy again. As I told everybody else, it was just a spur of the mont decision. Watching her care so much about her subordinate, how she loved my donuts, and how she wanted to repay Alia for the free donuts by saving her, it all accumulated to thinking What if we didnt et like this. It also didnt help Mothers mories and hatred for war had influenced a bit.
VifiYok just reminded of any other girl, albeit one with a more military background. As Neill said, it was my decision to save hershe had already accepted her death. I had to stand up and accept the consequences of my actions when they eventually ca back to bite . Crying about it was as productive as my other half wanting to make forget about my past.
She probably heard that Oops.
So that is why you wanted to speak with Klea, Ellaine figured it out after my story. [Original Sin: Demiurge] and [Original Sin: Satanael] Klea did ntion the original sin abilities to . She told that, if I wanted to unlock mine, I had to reach [OklLuthiers Power Lv. 9]. It would be good if we could learn more about these abilities, but
But Klea isnt awake, right now, she probably wanted to say. It was really inconvenient that I couldnt discuss things with her, considering she was our safest source of demonkin intel. If Ellaine had no idea about the demon, then Aurena probably would If only she or any god would just speak with . Or could. They have been silent since the Elyonda siege.
In any case, nothing could be done about that, so we decided to turn the subject to my unique Job. Since they knew I would get mine after finishing the divine Quest in Elyonda, they had a lot of questions. However, they were even more fascinated about Tatsuyas and Kyouyas recent improvents.
It took quite so ti for to explain the whole unique Job system to them, to the point we had to get out of the hot spring before everybody overheated. Once we cleaned up and put our clothes back on, everybody, including the boys, went into the living room. There we finished our talks.
Yeah, pretty much dont trust vampires. Most of them act so holier-than-thou, I thought I was attending one of those parties the school usually hosts for our parents. Tatsuya complained about his stay in Purchigchia.
Then again, our training with Asaka and Sensei probably wasnt better. I an, didnt Sensei see everything about our past? Even that embarrassing part? Kyouyas face turned slightly red, reminding us how Belzac placed the boys into a mory sphere or sothing. Saoris group had to apparently face their past.
Yeah Tatsuya suddenly turned towards . Say, Hestia-san you ntioned how you t your past self in that demon thing, right? Well, I dont want to bring back any bad mories but your black hair? Is your current face similar to your past lifes?
Tatsuya was trying to be considerate, seeing as I committed suicide back on Earth. It was nice of him, sure, since it was a pretty sore topic. I hadnt actually talked about it with Tasianna or Sis, yet, since I wasn't really okay speaking about it back then. It made sense with the students since we shared being from Earth. It felt easier to talk to them about it although Ellaine, Shay, Beth, Svena, and Josine knew about it now, too.
Suicideit was not a good topic to talk about. The students were being helpful, and it helped deal with it better. Still, they didnt know how to encroach the topic the correct way, and nor did Ellaine. It was awkward, after all, and not a truth that was easy to swallow. Still, as I ntioned before, crying over my past actions wasnt productive.
Yup. I confird Tatsuyas question. I saw hermyface. Outside of our hair colors differing, we look exactly alike. So, yes, if I was still my Earth self, I would look exactly like this. Im cute, right?
Y-yea s-sure. Mhmm. Tatsuya nodded all flustered, prompting to feel a bit speechless. I didnt think he would be that shy. Ahem, t-thats the not the question. Ahem! I an, since you got so of your mories back, can you tell, uhm, have we t before?
Now I had to scratch my head. What was he saying?
The first ti we t, you told you didnt know , and now youre asking if weve t before? Tatsuya, the last ti I checked, I was the amnesiac.
Tatsuya didnt seem too convinced by my answer, but he had to agree it sounded pretty weird. Kyouya even chid in that they should leave it, since bringing up past mories probably wouldnt be too good. I did want to know more about myself, so unless Tatsuya could give a concrete answer, I couldnt help him. At least, I couldnt rember sobody like Tatsuya being my friend in the past.
Regardless, once we were done with this discussion, we returned to the main subjectwhat happened to have caused all this drama with the dwarves. As Haruka had explained, all of this started after the Luedbrumdar clans leader had played around with the wording of his deal with Grimnir.
The blacksmithing competition was won using Ellaines new armor, aning Grimnir should have gained access to his cousins old workshop. However, since the deal had technically only included access to the workshop, and not the tools, the clan leader had the workshop emptied beforehand. Technically, it was all by the letter of the original deal, but it was clear this competition was done in bad faith. Regardless of the wording of the deal, this was such a legalist way to conclude things.
Master told us we couldnt do anything. While dishonorable, you couldnt punish sobody for that since it followed the rules, Ellaine explained, but I had to bring up how dwarves valued honor and such. They do, yes, thats where all this zuekluk cos from. But, at the end of the day, honor cannot be enforced, only the law. Being honorable amongst dwarves is all a social construct, like being a knight is. People expect you to be honorable, but you need to decide if you care about it.
While Ellaine had a pretty tight moral compass, to the point she would disagree with a plan if I were to break a law, she could still view it from a more objective viewpoint. What she said made sense, after all. The law technically wasnt broken, and Grimnir had obtained his part of the bargaining.
As such, Grimnir decided to compete once more, this ti making sure the Nishio, Kazumi, and Haruka took a proper look over it. They might not be lawyers, but they had learned how to keep an eye out from their parents.
Which, begged the question why Maagneil, the clan leader, even accepted it this ti? Well, since he hated Grimnir, it was easy for him to be taunted into accepting it. It all looked well, up until Daichi burned the clan leaders second sons beard off due to a fight. The son, Grimnirs second cousin and Broggis brother, ridiculed Grimnir, which tipped the hot-blooded Daichi over the fence.
Daichi was beaten up afterwards, but Mister Jadhund managed to stop it before it escalated, Haruka continued the story after she gave the summary. However, he was also a witness to everything Daichi accepted the punishnt but we didnt want to. Grimnir stubbornly tried to stop everything.
I guess you could say this was what Jadhund ant with two sides of the story. Kohaku shrugged. Still, we might have protested, but that didnt an they could just treat us like that! We wanted to speak with the hold king, solve this in a better manner, but, oh no, the clans supporters in the city guard just ambushed us! They tried to silence us!
Tamae gave a less emotional recounting of it, since most of the girls were beyond livid at what happened. She explained that after they made their initial disagreent to the verdictten years of prison for burning down a stupid beardGrimnir insulted the clan leader in front of everybody, calling him a coward and stickler to the past. In addition, Grimnir even spat out his usual Bleidla rant, which infuriated even more people.
This probably got leaked, and when they heard the students would petition the hold king to resolve it, those loyal and appreciative to the clan attacked them. Both mbers of the guard and the Edgesworns took things in their own hand and captured the students, with only Kohaku and Kazumi escaping with Jadhunds help. Once the news got to Ellaine and Grimnir, who wanted to bide their ti and win the second competition first, they confronted the clan leader.
However, it was, naturally, too late as the ssengers were sent by Maagneil. Threatened and surrounded, those two couldnt do anything but give up and return to the forge, where they were imprisoned until the competition began. It was essential black mail, at this point, and Maagneil was taking advantage of this situation to permanently end Grimnirs honor and standing in dwarven society.
Give up the hamr and the fla, hand them in and swear to the gods to never work in the forge ever again, otherwise be permanently branded as an oathbreaker Not like it would change anything since Master is already exiled! Ellaine was twisting her blue hair out of stress, looking pissed as she recalled what was demanded. If we gave up on the competition and admitted we had cheated with this armor, that we had colluded with demonkins to make it, they would release everybody. As if we could agree to that!
Neither could we, Misaki interjected. Kohaku and Kazumi, thankfully, managed to tell them to not accept any threats. That was what we had planned when we helped them escape. We could wait, since we knew we had backup waiting to beat up those punks. Two weeks? Better than to give in to a bunch of bastards!
Goodness gracious, Misaki! When did your mouth get fouler than mine?! I couldnt be the only one who thinks this, right?
I darted my eyes around the living room, noticing nobody was really reacting. Maybe Ellaine was, but she was frowning the mont I finished my story and we talked about the original sin abilities.
Yeah, only , huh? Kinda forgot Ive only known them for a few months now. Even took a while for Saori and Tasianna to tell more about their past, after all.
What about the torture part? I bought up, wanting to get to understand that part, too.
Tamae sighed before she answered, It was mostly just beating up the boys. They excused it as them wanting to be gentlen even in such a situation, which while admirable, didnt an much since Daichi-kun and Nishio-kun always returned bloodied. From what I could guess, they knew what they did was wrong and now that it got to this point, they had to commit to everything.
Supposedly, Haruka snarled a bit, before noting her aggression and looking away in embarrassnt. I-Im sorry, its just that It feels so fake. They wanted to force us to speak about Earth technology since everybody knew we were otherworlders. It was just greed and they tried to gaslight us to speak. There is nothing gentleman-like about what they did!
I concur. Ellaine nodded. Her face had not softened up once since the start of this talk. They call Master a zuekluk because he broke so taboo God Bleidla had set up, but from what I heard, only his clan punished him for it. The hold king didnt do it, nor did God Bleidla, outside of stripping him from his [Blacksmiths Eyes]. Treating guests like this, even insulting them in their faces; it's unforgivable, and if they were in Artorias, they would be the ones to be punished by the law!
Shes right, but speaking about the law, where was the hold king in this whole discussion? From the side, Tatsuya interjected, causing so of us to realize we hadnt spoken about him yet. You girls were trapped in a prison for two weeks. Didnt you guys inform the hold king that you were in his city?
All of them nodded, explaining that was the first thing Grimnir did since exiles werent exactly allowed back to the cities they were banned from. Although zuekluk, exiled dwarves, would be frowned upon wherever they went, Grimnir was only legally banned from coming back to his ho without a solid reason.
Since he had established a competition with the Luedbrumdar clan while he was still in the dwarven capital, Inkoran-Tazul, his reason was solid. As such, the hold king knew about Ellaine and everybody else, and it was made clear by their nas that they were otherworlders. They were even questioned about it during their first day.
As such, it was strange the hold king did nothing when they disappeared for two weeks. Sure, he could argue he thought they just left without saying anything, which was a normal thing for adventurers to do. However, what about the guards? What about the criminals who helped? Even if we couldnt bla the hold king for everything without more information, I could at least bring this to his attention.
Not to ntion, I have to bust out Rosserto for helping us. Hopefully he didnt get beaten up too badly for protesting.
I believed I had heard enough, so I stood up and returned to the Broggis cavern where I saw Grimnir sitting on the ground. He was waiting for , finished with what he wanted to do.
Can you make the portal entrance and workshop larger, lass? Grimnir asked and I nodded, before looking at the pieces of the forge and the artificer workstation. The forge with its huge, table-size coal-powered hearth was literally dug out of the wall.
I can understand the table, but how did you break down the smithy?
Easy. The individual stuff like the bellows and anvil are easy to deconstruct and I can rebuild everything later. The hearth took so hamring. Every dwarven blacksmith was once a miner, didnt I tell you? I think I talked about that when we first ventured into the Cedaraille dungeon.
It was true. That was how we first t, after all. Our party needed weapons and I wanted a dwarf to make them for , so we had gotten the drunk and sad Grimnir off his butt and had him help us mine so minerals in the depth of the dungeon. It was a fond mory, if you ignore the fact a giant fire spider nearly burned down the city and us having to deal with so crazy Shiterno cultists.
Hey, wait, well help! Kyouya called out as he, Tatsuya, Kohaku, Kazumi, and Ellaine ca out. There was nothing to disagree with.
And so, we brought literally everything usable into Grimnirs workshop, upgrading it from his small smithy into a dium-sized one where two people could forge at once. Ellaine too got an upgrade, since her workbench was larger, but without the Broggis tools there was still a lot left to be desired.
Grimnir recalled how he had so many additional tools to make things go easier, ntioning how he had different hamrs for different tasks, or how he was picky about his choice of coal, since every type burned differently. He couldnt be as picky in our situation, but he had thought of it as a challenge to better himself. He worked with the best tools as a clan mber, but had to find new ways and try out new techniques to create the things we needed as best as he could.
So, what is the plan? I asked after we were finally done with the renovation.
Grimnir looked at for a mont before looking at his new forge, scavenged from the one his cousin had in his cave. You know , Im not a scher and I dont want to go and break things in my ho. Besides, I am a blacksmith, and I dont run away from challenges. But, we need to get things settled first, so we dont destroy your reputation, lass. First things first, we need to speak with the hold king, and if he wont listen, then the High King.
Woah, bringing in the big guy? I was shocked to hear him suggest sothing like that.
Hold kings are all retainers to the Ankoran King. If one of them acts dishonorable and brings down the combined prestige of the Ankor-Nazta, the Ankoran King has to take care of it. Depending on the cri, things could happen. Grimnir then turned back to , looking at with a determined face. As I said, my honor and competition matters little if you get hard by it, lass. You are an entertainer, and what would you do if the dwarves hated you? Can you perform in this place then?
Hmph, every public figure will have haters. Whether they have a proper reason or not, it doesnt matter. There will always be sobody that hates you for whatever reason, even if you are the most generous person in the world. I closed my eyes, reminding myself of the celebrities on Earth and, of course, Eshe.
Fair then let sleep it over and well get to it. Here. He stretched his hand out. Its been a while, but I hope you didnt go and bust up the glaive I made for you.
Pff! I couldnt stop myself from giggling as I rembered this was his role in Aurora. Grimnir was our blacksmith, and he had to make sure our equipnt was alright before the ensuing event.
I handed him my glaive. It took on so dwarven weapons without even a chip.
Ha! I expected that from weapons made from your materials, lass.
Everybody needed to rest. We had done enough today, so it was decided that we slept through the nights and handled the rest tomorrow. I had to think of a way to persuade the hold king, after all and hopefully it wouldnt end in a fight. Although, letting that clan leader have a whole day to speak and act might actually be detrintal
Lady Hestia!
After dinner was served, Tasianna finally made it back. She looked sweaty and out of breath, as if she had run a marathon, but she had this wide smile on her face. She suddenly grabbed my arm and told to co with her for a mont, telling to teleport myself through the Griffonpeak runes. I did as she told .
Once we passed through the portal, we landed inside the Helvass mansion in Artoriass capital. I thought Tasianna would finally explain to why we were here, only to drag along and create an ice chair for us, before flying us up with it like an [Unheilige Angel] knock-off using her [Cyrokinesis]. We flew higher and higher, until my eyes widened as I saw a large group of torches in the rchant districts plaza, forming letters.
Hes tia? I read, tilting my head at what the hell was happening.
Champion Hestia! Sobody shouted from the group. We dont believe a word!
What?
Not a single word! Nothing the Empire says is true! Lies!
You and Saintess Eshe saved us! Like so many others! As if you would lead an army to attack another kingdom!
What were they all saying?!
Shouts, shouts, and even more shouting; there were so many people shouting that their words began to mix together to the point I couldnt pinpoint who said what. I could have if I was focused, but right now, I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I turned to Tasianna, asking her what was happening.
She smiled. I apologize for taking so long, but dealing with everybodys gratitude to you was a bit too much. These, my lady, are the fans you made in Griffonpeak.
I stared back at the crowd, taking aback at how I could read my na from the torches they were holding up. Did sobody plan this?
Everybody was onboard when I suggested it, mostly to get them away from since they were being too forceful. It took a while to prepare, but I think I managed to gather around 300 people in the square? There should be more, but people need to work and sleep, sadly, hehe, Tasianna continued. Lady Hestia, whether its in Elyonda or Griffonpeak, people will appreciate it when you help others. As an idol, that is the best reward, no?
I stared at Tasianna, only blinking my eyes before returning my attention to the crowd.
Lady Hestia! Lady Hestia! Lady Hestia!
I kept hearing that chant over and over again, causing sothing to form in my chest.
Helping? Right, helping. I did help them.
It felt good to see all these people cheering for , filling my ears with their Woooo! and Yeeeaah! while the chants kept coming and coming. Was this my reward for all that I have done? The people of Elyonda did the sa thing for there Just realizing that I made the decisions I had done up until now an so much more.
The wild dragon girl back in the Belzac forest had not only evolved physically, but also as a person and idol. I guess fearing I would scare everybody back then was just a weird worry. Right, people rembered you for your actions.
So, what would an idol do in the current situation?
THANK YOU EVERYBODY! IT ANS A LOT TO ! Almost out of instinct, I shouted it all out, almost overwheld by tears. THIS IS A BIT LATE, BUT LET SING FOR YOU! WILL ALL OF YOU LISTEN TO MY VOICE?
PLEASE!
Right, that was what an idol had to do to show her gratitude. Keep singing, keep dancing, keep performing. Not every battle had to end in a fight, sotis things could be handled with a small song.
