Chapter 143: The path to walk…
"So, that's what you remember?"
Elio, Alex, Az, Sera, and Miu were in the dungeon right now while Miss Rin and Misha were in the town.
"They are something else… I don't really understand if I'm doing the right thing by following them anymore."
The Librarian was visiting after sorting out the mess that was created after the death of the mage tower master.
"Your concerns are valid."
There was a lot of commotion after the tower people found out about the death of their tower master.
First the Main Magic organization's investigation team visited, the tower was in chaos, all mages were panicking if there was another Dark mage, and the rumores soon spread to the entire Moongold and there was a chaotic environment for a long time.
There were people from the magic association checking up on everything in the town, and then they followed the traces of the Mage tower master, and somehow found out that he was after a certain group of individuals who had recently left the town.
"Though, I would advise you to hold onto them."
By the time the Librarian got back from that certain place after meeting that certain person, it was already too late.
The mage tower master was dead, there was commotion in the Moongold, there was commotion in the village that they had stopped in, and since the Mages were involved, there was a general fear among the masses.
The Librarian had to overwork himself, convince the mage association investigators and send them back, and then calm the chaos that they left for him to deal with.
"That girl… I know her personally."
He was supposed to prevent anything like this from happening but the death of the mage tower master as well as the storm of aftermath that was created was a little too exhausting.
"I know that much by now… she seems to know a little too much, she even calls you so casually, and your attitude towards her… it all has been quite peculiar to me since the start."
If he had not been greedy and left the town, the mage wouldn't have moved and this kind of mess wouldn't have been created at all.
But, things happened, and he was already done dealing with them so to vent his frustration, to apologize to Alex, and to check up on the rest of them, he was finally visiting them.
"Haha, of course it might seem peculiar. But, if I say so myself, I'm the fortunate one to have any kind of connection with that person."
When he got here, he found out Alex and Elio had already left for the dungeon and wouldn't be back for a few days.
He had predicted this might be the case, so he had brought some stuff to pass his time in this boring place.
Misha was here, though she was asleep now that it was late night, so since he was here for a few days anyway, it was better to take this time and teach her a few new things– useful things as well.
"She's someone that has connections with not just individuals of high rank throughout this world, she has connections with forces that we do not even know the existence of.
I'm not supposed to say this, but she… that person has had a supper with the gods, has committed arson with the demons, beheaded Giants, and protected this world more than once in the short time she had been here.
She's like those Legends and Heroes that we hear the stories of. But, unlike them… even after being a [Pioneer], she's dumb enough to give up on all of that just so she could be with Him."
From his perspective, she was simply a dumb person.
There was nothing in this world that she could not have, and yet, leaving all of that behind, she walked on a path that has a certain chance of [Demolition].
She was not chasing perfection from the start, she was not someone that walked on a certain path either, she was one of the most aloof people that he had ever met in his hundred years of life.
She knew more than the Progenitors, she used to be stronger than some of the Divinities, and she was one of the few in this world that possessed something unique of her own in her prime.
She could have ruled this world if she wanted to… there were many more like her Among the Foreigners, but she was quite special even among them.
Unlike the TWO of them, she was a simple individual despite her uniqueness.
"She has had many unique connections in her life." The Librarian caressed the head of sleeping Misha as gently as caressing a newborn spirit.
"And she has looked after each one of them even while risking her life. Many times."
There was a unique softness in his eyes that Miss Rin had never seen before as he talked about her. And there was also a bitterness in those festastical eyes of his that only someone who had genuinely loved something, or someone, could understand.
"Her character is bad, she is extremely annoying, she has a side to her that most people, most common people in this world would not like, but…" He sighed, with a strangely bitter smile.
"I've met only a few individuals as reliable as her in my lifetime."
Then he returned back to his stoic look as he looked back at Miss Rin.
"If it's about following them, I'd say there are some divinities who also wanted to do it but were never given that opportunity by her."
She was not following her.
Alex was allowing her to follow them. That was the only reason she was still alive right now, and that would be the only reason she reached a stage very few had reached while walking on a certain path.
"She saw a lot of unnecessary things, I can tell that much." placing his hand above the head of Misha, the Librarian channeled some of his unique energy.
"But you don't have to worry about her and overthink your decision on following them."
-Oooooooooong.
A soft light materialized on his hand, and fell on Misha in the form of tiny twinkling stars.
"She's tougher than you know."
The whole experience with the mage tower master's attack was the most traumatic for Misha.
She was still recovering from it, he could tell that, and yet, she was smiling even in her sleep.
"She can take care of herself."
She did not need her mom to look after her all the time anymore…
