Bab 127: Ais: Will Riveria Hate Me?

Chapter 127 - Ais: Will Riveria Hate Me?

Thump, thump, thump—

"Come in, the door isn't locked."

As Luke was refining the extra Prana in his body, a knock came at the door.

Bang—

The moment Ais heard Luke's voice from inside the room, she violently pushed the door open.

Patter, patter, patter—

Plop—

Ais, who had run to the bed, threw herself into Luke's arms with a flying leap.

Luke, sitting on the bed, silently sighed as he looked at Ais, who said nothing in his arms.

He formed a hand sign and used the condensed threads of Prana to close the room's door.

Then, he gently patted Ais's head and softly said to her:

"You'll make Riveria worried."

"Maybe right now, she's hiding alone in her room, secretly crying because our little Ais is ignoring her."

Perhaps Luke's embrace provided Ais with some comfort, or perhaps his words had some effect.

Ais buried her head in Luke's chest, seemingly not wanting him to see her face at that moment.

Then, she began to speak with complex emotions:

"That monster... is... is..."

After pausing several times, Ais still couldn't bring herself to say the race of that monster.

"That monster, indeed, is a spirit," Luke spoke for Ais.

But Ais strongly opposed this.

"Impossible! That monster cannot be a spirit! How could that filthy monster be a spirit!"

"How could a spirit be like that..."

"My mother is not a monster, and I am not a monster either..."

Ais's voice grew softer, and Luke could already hear the faint sound of crying.

"Will I also become like that in the future?"

The appearance of the Demi Spirit had a huge impact on Ais's perception of spirits.

Spirits are said to be the race the Gods loved the most and are even called part god.

They are strong magic users and can even use magic better than most elves.

Their legends circulate among many humans and demi-humans in the mortal world.

But one thing is for sure: Spirits are the race closest to the gods.

This sacred and mysterious race seemed impossible to be associated with something like monsters.

But now, a monster in the form of a spirit appeared.

This fact fundamentally shattered Ais's worldview.

With spirit blood flowing through her veins, as a half-spirit, the moment Ais saw the Demi Spirit, a thought circled in her mind.

'The blood flowing in my body, could it be the same as that filthy being?'

Spirits, along with elves, are renowned magical races whose potential far exceeds that of others.

They can ignite catastrophic fires, summon storms, create lakes in forests, and refine gold and silver gems.

A portion of Spirits' powers bears a strong resemblance to those of the gods.

In other words, they too can cause 'miracles.'

In Ais's memory, her father, a hero, was a great figure, while her mother, a spirit, was a gentle figure.

Spirits guide heroes with their power to create miracles.

They grant humans the ability to use magic and provide heroes with strong weapons.

Before the gods descended, one could argue that the grace of Spirits functioned as a substitute for 'falna'.

But if the true appearance of Spirits was that of monsters, wouldn't that mean her own mother was also a monster?

Ais didn't even dare to think further.

She dreaded the inevitable conclusion, knowing it would plunge her further into despair.

The greatness of her father, the gentleness of her mother, her own existence, everything seemed to be drifting away from her.

Ais lifted her head and asked Luke with a trembling voice:

"After knowing that I might be a monster, will Riveria and the others in our Familia hate me?"

The thought that she might be a monster, the kind she'd always despised and the same kind that killed her father, was almost making Ais mentally collapse.

Luke gently wiped the tears from Ais's eyes and asked, with a hint of laughter in his voice,

"Then, aren't you afraid that I might hate you too?"

"Eh?!"

Luke's counter-question left Ais stunned.

She looked at Luke, thought about Riveria, and then looked at Luke again, somewhat at a loss.

"I, I don't know... I just feel that Luke won't hate me..."

After a long time, Ais finally managed to squeeze out these words.

Ais's reaction amused Luke; he held her with one hand and pinched her cute little face with the other.

"I really appreciate your trust in me, and I can assure you, whether you turn into a monster or not, I will never hate you."

"However, I also hope that you can trust Riveria and the others a bit more."

Luke's firm answer finally eased the anxiety that had been hanging in Ais's heart for days.

"Trust more?"

"Do you mean... Riveria won't hate me?"

"Of course, Riveria won't hate you."

Luke looked somewhat amused at Ais, who was tormented by her fears.

If Riveria knew that Ais hadn't been talking to them these days because she was afraid they would hate her, she would probably burst out laughing.

Then she would teach Ais what trust really meant with an angry fist.

"Moreover, you've got a premise wrong."

"You won't become a monster, so there's no need to worry about being hated."

Luke's words instantly excited Ais.

"You mean, that monster isn't actually a spirit?"

"No, that is indeed a spirit."

"Eh?! But you just said I wouldn't become a monster..."

Tap—

Luke gently knocked Ais's head.

"Don't interrupt, listen to me."

"That monster is indeed a spirit, but not a normal spirit."

"That is a Demi Spirit."

"Ais, think carefully about what that monster looked like at that time."

Ais held her head with both hands, recalling the monster she saw three days ago, following Luke's words.

"That monster... the spirit... has fallen."

"So, does it mean... fusion?"

Luke nodded, relieved to see Ais finally getting the point, as he was worried she might obsess over this matter.

The reason he hadn't told Riveria and the others was to avoid upsetting Ais's fragile heart.

"Right, it's not that the spirit turned into a monster, but that the spirit chose to merge with a monster after going crazy."

Ais tried hard to digest the information from Luke's words, and after understanding the situation, she asked him in a daze:

"So, does it mean that spirit actually went mad and crazy?"

"Correct."

"Spirits aren't actually monsters?"

"Right."

"I won't turn into a monster in the future?"

"Obviously."

"So, Riveria won't hate me?"

"Haha, of course she won't hate her precious little daughter."

"..."

After several questions, Ais was completely stunned.

Ais looked at Luke, then suddenly threw herself into his arms again.

"Whaaaaaa—!"

Afterward, a silent cry resounded through Luke's room.

Bab 128: Taught a Lesson!

Chapter 128 - Taught a Lesson!

"And this is what we encountered in the dungeon."

At this moment, Luke was in Finn's room, recounting the sequence of events during the dungeon riot to Loki and others.

"So, it really was the Evilus behind it."

Finn sat in the main seat, listening to Luke's report.

"Hmph, because of some people's decisiveness, they probably won't be able to cause trouble anymore."

Riveria stood aside, and from her words, it was not hard to hear that she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Finn's decision to abandon sending reinforcements to Luke and Ais.

But just as she said.

Finn's decision to abandon sending support to the dungeon and instead opt for a surprise attack to destroy the Evilus's base was something no one had imagined.

Therefore, the result was naturally better.

This raid almost eradicated all of Evilus's strongholds in Orario; if it weren't for some information leaks and escaped members, it could even be declared that the Evilus was completely uprooted from Orario.

Loki Familia, having made significant contributions, could be said to have gained a lot of attention, and Finn established an unparalleled reputation through this event.

But the decision not to support or maybe even abandon his Familia member did shock many people.

However, labels such as ruthless, cold-hearted, and fearless are the best for deterring outsiders.

In the eyes of ordinary residents, Finn could even sacrifice members of his Familia to ensure their safety.

From the results, even if Riveria was dissatisfied, she had to admit Finn's choice was correct.

"The focus now is on that new type of monster."

Loki leaned against Finn's desk, squinting at Ais, who was hiding behind Luke.

"Ais, are you sure that monster was truly a spirit?"

"...Yes, the moment we met, I felt a resonance in my blood."

Faced with Loki's question, Ais hesitated for a moment but then nodded.

"It's not just any ordinary spirit."

At that moment, Luke suddenly interrupted Loki: "Loki, if I remember correctly, spirits are of different types, right?"

"Indeed, you seem well-versed in this niche knowledge."

Loki was somewhat surprised by Luke's detailed understanding of spirits, but she still answered his question.

"The modern spirit race indeed consists of many types, for example, Wind spirits can summon storms, Earth spirits can refine gems, and so on."

"All kinds of spirits can do all sorts of different things."

"The spirits from those legends that can truly cause 'miracles' were all ancient great spirits, which are basically unseen nowadays."

"Why do you ask? Does this have anything to do with the Demi Spirit you encountered in the dungeon?"

After listening to Loki's explanation, Luke sighed and said:

"During our battle, that Demi Spirit used magic of four different attributes, including fire, ice, lightning, and light."

"I can't be sure that it doesn't possess other attributes that it didn't use."

"If, according to what you said, Loki, the modern spirit race is divided into various types."

"Then what Ais and I encountered might truly be a lingering spirit from ancient times."

"Ancient spirit? Really?"

Loki asked directly, surprised.

"But, if that's the case, it makes sense why it could call out Ais's mother's name, 'Aria'."

Loki bit her lip; if it really was an ancient great spirit that had survived for more than a thousand years, this would make perfect sense.

"No, I need to visit Ouranos; that old man must know something."

After saying this, Loki directly left the room and headed towards the guild headquarters.

Since the report was over, Finn didn't stop Loki from leaving.

With the departure of their goddess, the atmosphere among the people left in the meeting room eased.

"Speaking of which, you really are amazing."

"We were all at a loss regarding Ais's problem, but you resolved it as soon as you woke up."

Finn looked at Ais, who was hiding behind Luke, and said to the boy with a smile:

"Riveria has tried countless methods these past few days, none of which could bring Ais back to normal."

Hearing Finn mention this, Luke also smiled.

Then he pulled out the embarrassed Ais who was continuously hiding behind him.

Patting Ais on the head, Luke said to her:

"Alright, don't you have something to say to Riveria?"

Losing her hiding spot, Ais hesitantly walked towards Riveria.

"I'm sorry, I made everyone worry."

Hearing Ais's apology, Riveria finally completely relaxed.

She put down her magic staff and gently embraced Ais.

But before she could say anything, Ais's next words made Riveria pick up her magic staff again.

"I heard from Luke that you were hiding in your room, crying because I ignored you."

"I don't want to see Riveria cry, so I'll never ignore you again."

Pfft—!

Come on! Finn, you laughed, didn't you! You definitely laughed out loud, right!

And Gareth! Don't think I can't tell you're laughing just because you turned your back!

Luke watched with a face full of cold sweat as Riveria picked up her staff again, inwardly roaring.

"No, Riveria, listen to me, I was just joking with Ais."

"It was a metaphor! I didn't mean to say that you were hiding in your room and secretly crying, it was just a figure of speech!"

Riveria picked up her magic staff, walked up to Luke with a dark face.

"Let's see if you appreciate this 'metaphor' too!"

Whoosh—!

Boom—!

The person-high magic staff struck the ground, instantly creating a huge crater in the meeting room.

After some playful scolding, Luke and the others left the meeting room.

Luke was the last to leave, and Finn specially stopped him before he left.

"Luke, do you blame me for not sending reinforcements to the dungeon?"

In the end, Finn couldn't help but ask Luke this question.

He was not truly cold-hearted; no one could understand the feelings in Finn's heart bearing the shackles of 'responsibility' and 'mission.'

Even Riveria and Gareth, who knew him best, probably didn't know how he managed to make the decision to abandon the plan to send reinforcements.

Perhaps only Loki, as a goddess, could understand Finn's thoughts.

"You're looking for consolation, Captain?"

Luke turned and smiled at Finn.

"You and I both know what the correct decision was under those circumstances."

"You would have made the same decision, regardless of which member of Loki Familia was in the dungeon."

"Ais and I just added to the difficulty of your decision."

Leaving the room, Luke left Finn with one last sentence.

"Don't think too much, you didn't do anything wrong, and I have no intention of blaming you, remember Finn, you are the captain of Loki Familia."

Finn sat in the chair looking at the direction Luke left, suddenly smiling.

"You're right, I am the captain of Loki Familia."

"Indeed, I've truly been taught a lesson by the young."
