Chapter 6: Ch 6: Blessing talk…

*** Kiara ***

After talking to Aleizar about her joining our party, Elliot left saying that he'll start working on the cure for Jhasque... It was kind of awkward for some reason between me and Aleizar so I followed him, saying that I'll help.

(Kiara)"So... What made you accept her joining us so easily?"

Elliot stared at me for a few moments before going back to whatever he is doing, a few seconds later, he spoke. (Elliot)"Well, why did you suggest that then? I mean, as far as im aware, your cautious about strangers... Even with that unique skill of yours, you would rather get to know someone first before... Well, I don't know, but that was the case with Jhasque, he was a good guy ever since we met him but you were still double thinking about him joining us despite him wanting to leave that place with us..."

(Kiara)"Alright alright stop... Geez... I get it... It just felt like I could trust her for some reason back there... Despite still being suspicious... I thought that maybe I could find out why she was being suspicious when we travel along with her... So yeah..."

Elliot stared at me again... Why tho? I used my unique skill, Aura Appraisal, It's a complicated skill, but I use it to know what the other person is feeling, Lust, Sadness, Joy, Confusion, name it, I can find out... Although there are exceptions like those who are stronger than I am... But still...

I... Can't explain what he's feeling right now... Why... Why does he--

(Kiara)"Wait-- why do you not believe me?!"

(Elliot)"Princess... Are you sure you didn't just fall in love?"

Why are you being suspicious of me~! 

(Kiara)"Ofcourse not! Also don't call me that... She might hear--"

(Elliot)"Fine... Just so you know, I don't mind being an third wheel around the two of you... Although there is Jhasque, I may not be alone about being a third wheel"

(Kiara)"Elliot!! Have you forgotten that I know what your feeling right now?!"

(Elliot)"Ho? Mind telling me then my dear Princess?"

(Kiara)"Ugh... Nevermind..."

Why is he suddenly in an teasing attitude...

(Kiara)"Anyways, why did you easily accept her joining our party?"

(Elliot)"Like I said, I don't mind being the third wheel around you two"

(Kiara)"I asked for a reason Elliot..."

(Elliot)"Is that not a reason?"

(Kiara)"...im still suspicious about her identity"

(Elliot)"Is that a yes or a no?"

(Kiara)". . ."

(Elliot)"Due to your silence, I hearby declare that it is indead a reason"

(Kiara)"Ugh shut up... It's not the only reason right?"

(Elliot)"You finally admitted it, anyways, the other reason is that I suspect that she has an lost skill... The Mana Manipulation thingy she talked about... You already know me, addicted to magic despite the fact that... Well anyways, if she has an lost skill I wouldn't mind traveling with her~"

(Kiara)"So, your elven side said you should accept her?"

(Elliot)"Yep, plus if you approve of her then she's probably a good person"

(Kiara)"Probably..."

(Elliot)"Which will soon turn into definitely... Well anyways, hurry up and help me with this already"

(Kiara)".. alright geez"

*** Aleizar ***

So... Kiara went and followed Elliot... Saying that she'll be helping her... What should I do in the meantime then? Hmm... I don't know much about this world so maybe I should ask Erebus about some stuff that I don't know... But damn... I have no clue how to do that, he normally just pops up...

I closed my eyes, since I have nothing else to do, I can't really go out and explore, I don't want my new-found companions to worry... 

Just as I was thinking about contacting Erebus, a screen appeared infront of me... Infront of me while I was closing my eyes that is.

[What do you want to ask?]

"You really do pop up without notice don't you..."I thought, I figured it would be a bad idea speaking, so I just thought about it since it seems like they can read my mind.

[Well you can summon me whenever you want, since your an special one--]

Hmm? What do you mean by that?  Special one? And also, don't you have work or stuff? You said you were an fraction of the magic system right?

[About the Special One thingy, I can't say, and about work... Well let's not talk about that...]

Are you avoiding work?

[Nope! Ashgard told me to prioritize y-- ehem... The heroes... And I can just leave my work to the spirits... It's not much anyways since..-]

Ashgard? Now that I think about it...

Hero of Darkness

There! I have something like Blessing Of Ashgard... I don't remember anything like this a few chapters ago tho... Probably changed by the Author since it felt like it's been there since the beginning.

[. . .I feel bad for the construction team]

Ha-? What do you mean? And wait a minute... I don't remember what I said a few moments ago...I suddenly forgot what I just said... Anyways, you said something like Ashgard earlier and I have this Blessing, what does it mean?

[It means that you have been blessed, idiot]

Rude, im pretty smart you know, and that's not what I meant about what I said earlier...

[Then what do you mean by it?]

Well I can understand blessing of the demon god since Im the demon hero but why do I have this Blessing Of Ashgard thingy? What does it even mean? Who or what is Ashgard anyways?

[. . .I could hear her silent cries right now... Well anyways, that Blessing is one of the rarest, you could count the number of times that appeared in this world with one hand, you included]

Ok? Why do I have it tho?

[I'm afraid I cannot tell you, since I might get scolded, your parents should tell you in the future tho]

Why the fuck did my mom got involved in this conversation?

[Parents... And I cannot tell you the reason]

Ugh... What does it do anyways?

[It gives you boosts, your skill levels increasing a bit faster than normal and your stat ranking different than the others]

What do you mean different-?

[The rank for you is just different for the others... Like maybe, it's shown in stats that your weaker than someone, yet your actually stronger than them even without skills... Another example would be, for example, you have an spell that normally needs 100 mana, but all you need is 50, something like that... Ashgard didn't create me for explaining so it's hard to explain...]

Oh I think I get it now for some reason...

[Well that's good... Ah, your companions are walking in now... And I'm being summoned by her so... Yeah, bye Aleizar]

Uhh, Bye I guess?

I couldn't hear them anymore so I opened my eyes... For some reason it felt weird doing that... But why? Eh whatever.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by Kiara's Sapphire Blue eyes staring at me, eh why is she staring?

(Kiara)"Pardon, did I wake you up?"

(Aleizar)"Uhh no? You didn't wake me up... I mean I wasn't even---" wait a minute... Im laying down... In an area im not familiar with, "Did I fall asleep?"

(Kiara)"Yep, for an hour, I think, well it's been an hour since I've seen you asleep, So more than an hour I guess?"

(Aleizar)"Oh I see..."

(Kiara)"By the way I uhh, moved you to a more comfortable area in the tent so yeah..."

(Aleizar)"Ah thank you then, but uhh... Why were you staring at me?"

(Kiara)"You kind of looked like you were having an nightmare earlier so yeah... I was debating if I should wake you up... But you calmed down a few minutes later so I was relieved... Deciding not to wake you up I was gonna check up on Elliot and Jhasque but yeah... You woke up"

(Aleizar)"Oh? A nightmare?"

Why tho? And an hour... My conversation with Erebus certainly didn't last for an hour... And when our conversation ended they said that my companion is walking in now... Whatever that meant... So I don't get it--

(Kiara)"Uhm... Are you ok?"

(Aleizar)"Yeah... And weren't you gonna check up on your friends-?"

(Kiara)"Ahh..."

(Aleizar)"I mind aswell come with you since I have nothing else to do"

(Kiara)"A-alright"

Hmm?

(Aleizar)"Are you ok Kiara?"

(Kiara)"Ah.. yeah I'm alright"

(Aleizar)"Hmm.. ok then"
