BXBX NOVEL Chapter 513 The Voice Of The World
The Great Spirit is capable of analyzing the skies because they\'re clear much better than the ground below us because it is tightly coated with Mana and Divine Energy, so while she could give us a more detailed explanation about the alien above our heads, she can\'t really say for sure if the voice was the world itself, or something more.
But if that\'s true, the entirety of Planet Earth is a living being? It hasn\'t been really confirmed, but if its true then… That\'s crazy. Maybe Mother Earth is actually our goddess, while the being we have unwillingly created only embodies our religious beliefs.
I wonder if these two entities, if they truly exists, have some sort of relationship… Or maybe none at all and they have never interacted with each other.
I suppose it doesn\'t really matter now, but maybe in the future, I could one day have the opportunity to talk with them or something… I mean, so many crazy things have happened in my life that this doesn\'t seem so crazy of a possibility anymore.
Anyways, Mark and Rita became Tier 2 Rank 5 after the strengthening, while Lily reached Tier 2 Rank 1 after absorbing her share. There was a slightly big gap between me and Rita and Mark of 4 Ranks, most likely because I absorbed the magic crystal of Gustaf, that one Death General which was of very high quality and had tons of mana.
Lily offered us some tea to relax after all the exercise, and we spent the next hour drinking herbal tea, eating snacks, and talking about everything we\'ve gone through. Naturally, the conversation about the guys from SWORD surged.
"So they gave you their number?" Wondered Rita. "Have they sent any messages so far?"
"Nope, none." I said. "I assume they\'re really busy, after all they\'re agents. I don\'t want to bother them, honestly…"
"That girl named Rose was really nice though." I added. "I think I made of her a new friend."
"Josuke was also a cool guy." Mark said. "I wish I could learn more about him, maybe he could teach me how to properly fight with my fire magic."
"And who was the other guy? The one with the demon?" Asked Rita.
"Oh, Albert, I think." I said. "We didn\'t had time to interact with him, but he seemed like a decent person? I think… Though Rose and Josuke did say he is the most ruthless of the three."
"Hah~ Those two were kinda hot, weren\'t they? Handsome young men, packed with muscles, strong, with an air of mystery~" Rita said while daydreaming. "What I would give to be in my younger years and flirt with them…"
"I-I don\'t know if that\'s something a married woman should be saying…" Said Lily while sipping tea.
"I agree." I facepalmed.
"H-Hey! What\'s wrong with daydreaming sometimes? It\'s not like I am being unfaithful, just having a little imagination here and there…!" Rita said.
"A-Anyways…" Mark said. "I was thinking if it could be possible to meet them again, but I am afraid they might immediately assume we want to be agents or something. I think that if we could deepen our relationships with them, we could learn much more about this hidden magic world, or whatever it is called, and we could also learn from them in the ways they fight and deal with monsters."
"I agree to that as well." I nodded. "Well, I will try! I\'ll contact Rose right now and send her a message…"
Mark got me excited; his idea was actually good. If we could learn from them, it would be nice. I don\'t really need to go to some other weird place if I just ask Rose politely to teach me her Self-Defense Techniques to better take advantage of my Physique and the Physique Techniques.
So I sent her an elaborated message…
<Friend: Rose (SWORD Agent, colleagues only)>
[Elayne]: [Hello Rose, how are you doing? We\'ve been thinking with our friends if it could be possible to meet again? Of course, if you\'re busy then don\'t bother. We were thinking in learning more about you guys and SWORD, and perhaps about your self-defense battle techniques… I want to learn how to fight better after all. Of course, this won\'t be without compensation. I think you\'re a pretty nice person, so I would like to see you again! Ah, no compromise though, so think about it!]
It was one hell of a text wall, but it was all I wanted to say concentrated into a single message. Let\'s see if she ever reads it or something- Ah, she read it.
That was fast!
Ding!
Ah?! She answered already?!
<Friend: Rose (SWORD Agent, colleagues only)>
[Rose]: [Hello Elayne, been a few days since then.]
[Rose]: [I was actually thinking the same thing as you, but the boss is annoying, so I don\'t want him to just try to recruit you or something…]
[Rose]: [How about we meet privately? Just you and your friends somewhere in the city?]
[Rose]: [I was thinking on a café or something]
[Rose]: [And yeah I am free for the rest of the month, we actually don\'t work every day like workaholics, hahah]
She sent a lot of messages! I guess she really wants to meet with us.
"She said that she wants to meet us, it\'ll be just her though, but that\'s already better than I imagined." I said with a smile. "She wants to meet with us in a café or something… How about it?"
"Sure!" Rita nodded.
"I\'m in." Mark nodded.
"O-Oh, can I go as well?" Lily asked.
"For sure! We\'ll introduce you to her." I said with a smile.
<Friend: Rose (SWORD Agent, colleagues only)>
[Elayne]: [Sure! Let\'s meet tomorrow in the evening in the Café Le Piece, you know that one?]
[Rose]: [I do, I go there every day to satiate my coffee and sweets addiction, lol]
[Elayne]: [Then it\'s decided! I\'ve got a new friend to show you too.]
[Rose]: [Oh nice, looking forward to it, Elayne!]
