章節 18: Talk
Cali shook her head and walked towards Alvar and hugged him.
"...You finally came..." She said softly.
"Sorry for taking so long..." Alvar said with a sad smile on his face and hugged her back.
"Certain problems kept me busy... but that doesn't matter anymore. Let's sit over there by that tree and catch up with each other." Alvar said.
Cali nodded, followed him towards a tree, and sat next to him. The feeling of guilt was still lingering inside of her mind... she couldn't remember how he got that scar nor why she felt so guilty, but she knows for certain that she had something to do with it.
'Did I cause it?' The question popped up in her mind briefly.
"You don't have to worry about the scar... it happened a long time ago so you shouldn't stress yourself over it. The past is the past after all," Alvar chuckled, he noticed her guilty expression and felt her stare at his scar. So he tried to calm her down.
'I guess she doesn't have all of her memories back yet...' Alvar sighed...
'I think it's better for her mental health if she doesn't remember everything..., especially that bastard,'
"What can you remember?" He asked to make sure.
"I remember some of my childhood, Some small parts where I was inside a... castle... or a temple? Something like that... and after that, I only remember you and your friends." Cali said with a smile on her face.
"How are they doing? Has Xylia gotten better?" Cali asked a bit worried.
"Xylia is doing a lot better than the last time you saw her... as for the rest... they passed away I'm afraid..." Alvar sighed
"...Is that so? Sorry for asking..." Cali said in an apologetic tone.
"You don't have to worry about it. They had a happy life before they passed away, leaving behind children and grandkids." Alvar chuckled remembering his old friends.
Cali smiled seeing Alvar's nostalgic expression.
"Glad to hear that," She said and leaned on his shoulder.
"How was your life in this new world so far? Hope it wasn't too hard on you," Alvar asked, and pulled her in closer.
"It wasn't too bad in all honesty. Although the starting was a bit rough." Cali chuckled while thinking of how she met the Loki Familia.
This caused Alvar to raise an eyebrow.
"I woke up in a forest near Orario while only remembering the promise you made and my name. I was very confused and started testing out my magic... which caused a 'small' ruckus..." Cali lowered her voice while saying the last part.
"You burned down the forest... didn't you?" Alvar deadpanned when he noticed she was looking away from his gaze.
"Knowing you, I shouldn't be surprised..." He chuckled seeing her angry expression.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Cali yelled and punched Alvar in the stomach.
"Ow!" Cali yelled feeling her hand starting to pain, making Alvar laugh.
"I forgot about your so-called 'armour'," Cali said in a low tone.
"So what happened after you burned down-" Alvar was interrupted by a fake cough.
"I didn't burn down the ENTIRE forest, but that's not important... The Loki Familia noticed the smoke and rushed outside to see what happened. That's where I met the Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein. She usually rushes in head first so the other members were still on their way." Cali started telling her story ignoring Alvar's grin.
"I was still very confused at the time so I... might have thought she wanted to attack me... So I, of course, ignored anything Ais said and attacked her." She said with a wry smile.
"After about five or so minutes the other members also showed up and joined in. They were pretty shocked seeing me using my brimstone flames so casually. I think Riveria, also known as 'mom', thought I was cursed because of the blood red flames at the time." Cali was about to continue when Alvar asked with interest.
"What do you mean by 'mom'?"
"...Well she is usually very strict but she also cares for everyone so she gained the nickname 'Mom' in our Familia." She chuckled.
"Anyway, after an hour or so of fighting I passed out because of exhaustion. The flames dispersed when I passed out. When I finally woke up I was in their Manor and met my perverted goddess, Loki."
"Perverted goddess? and why does Loki sound like a male name?" Alvar asked which made Cali laugh.
"I asked Loki as well which earned me a smack on the head. As for the perverted part... don't worry about it." She chuckled.
"I'm glad you didn't change much Alvar... although you don't really act like a king."
Alvar stayed quiet for a second before saying.
"I wasn't made to be a king... but I had to be one otherwise our world wouldn't have changed at all... you can kill the evil, but having no leader only leads more people to go down the wrong path..."
"I'm not sure If I changed or not in these past few years, but glad you think I'm the same." Alvar smiled.
"So how is it with the Loki Familia so far?" Alvar changed the subject.
'...What happened after I was gone...? or is it something I can't remember?' Cali thought but shook her head.
"They are quite the kind bunch when you get to know them... and they have been treating me well ever since they allowed me to join their familia..."She said warmly, ignoring her previous thoughts.
"Glad you were safe," Alvar said
"Of course, So how was your 'stay' here so far?" Cali asked wondering what he has been up to.
"Well... I didn't do much while I waited for you to come back from your dungeon expedition. I am currently staying at the Hostess of Fertility and bought a workshop..." Alvar started explaining the few things he's been up to.

The 'Room of prayers'... This is an open room under the guild. Inside this room is a giant throne where the first god that descended stays.
This is the god that started the guild and also the same god that has been keeping the monsters inside the dungeon at bay.
His name is Ouranos, he has the appearance of an old man with white hair and blue eyes, he usually wears a white robe with a black hooded cloak.
"Did you find anything about what happened in the dungeon, Fels?" He asked calmly inside the open room.
Suddenly a figure covered in a black robe appeared inside the room.
