Chapter 178: A date
🕑 Added 2020-12-14 17:31:39 +0000 UTCGod and I chatted for a bit and came to an understanding. He will train me every day here. That’s where he would probably check my character as well. I can attend it easily with my avatar.
With that, he opened a portal and sent us back to the church.
He was a decent person, alright. Sorry for all the curses I threw at you before. The priests already recovered from our ‘little’ play and ran around the church.
In stealth, he snuck out of the church.
“Grayfia, we have time. Let’s have a date here.”
“Today’s not my rest day, My Lord,” she said. “As long as I’m in my maid dress, you mustn’t flirt with me.”
This stubborn maid. I had an idea.
‘Klyscha—’
(Catch it!)
I caught the robe and draped it over Grayfia. “You’re in your maid clothes now. Let’s have fun!”
Before she could retort, I dragged her into the crowd. She sighed and folded the robe with one hand.
“Stubborn man.”
I ignored her and marveled at the beauty of this era. The uncarved streets and the crudely made houses had their charms, just like the rest of the city. Grayfia’s gaze lingered on the shops. Her eyes brimming with nostalgia made me smile.
Holding hands, we strolled through the city. Ht
“Mother took me to the market every other day. I liked listening to their talk, seeing their devotion to the work, and their smile.” Grayfia said with a soft smile and squeezed my hand. “That’s why I was against the war without a cause. The ones to suffer the most were soldiers, the wives who lost their husbands, and everything affected the commoners’ lives.”
“True.”
She narrowed her eyes with a determined expression. “That’s… why, give me power. So I can stop these nonsensical wars in the future. In return, I pledge to devote everything to you.”
“As I said before, I’ll happily help my maid. Even if you want to overthrow the entire underworld and become the Empress of the underworld, I’ll help you.”
She stopped with a faint smirk on her lips. “I’ve got a better plan, My Lord. Become the Emperor of the Underworld, and I shall be your Empress.”
“Then someone else will say ‘Become the leader of the fallen angel faction and unite all three factions.’”
Grayfia chuckled at my answer. “An overprotective man like My Lord will be a great ruler. If it’s you, the three factions will achieve peace. It might come at the cost of some females, but My Lord will do it.”
“I’ll do it if you desire it too much.” I yanked her and wrapped my arm around her waist. “You’ve to fulfill your side of the bargain. Carry half of the responsibilities as my Empress.”
“I shall.”
“Then, we wait for the civil war. I’ll kick everyone’s ass and emerge as the new emperor.”
I had hundreds of years to prepare.
“Magnificent.”
We enjoyed another hour touring the Roman city and then returned. It was a good start for my relationship with Grayfia.
Back in Orario, I explained everything to the girls.
“A war. Asahi-kun, allow me to participate as a general.”
“Me too!”
The Busujima sisters were fired up.
“Asahi-sama, come,” Aimi called and patted her thighs. “Rest for some time.”
I could never deny an invitation like that. Her thighs helped me in recovering my mental strength. I resumed reading the Grimoire on the other side.
An hour later, something unexpected happened. I flipped the page of the Grimoire to find colorful symbols on the page. They glowed suddenly and pounced on me. I closed my eyes as numerous words flowed in my head.
[—Elemental Roulette’ ranked up to D.]
[—Water element unlocked. Magic +5]
[—You learned a new skill ‘Element Fusion’]
[—Element Fusion (Unique): The user can fuse two elements of opposing properties to create a new spell.]
This skill was worth enduring the hours of headache. I could create that ice flames xianxia protagonists bragged about. The only thing holding this skill back was my imagination.
I finally have 4 elements. The book still had two more parts to read.
A hell of a ride for sure.
