BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147 147 – Her Willingness
“That is a very extraordinary story, sir Raymund.” Lauren’s voice came from the communication icon on my user interface. “As I’ve discussed, we’ve never heard of the elves. Whether because their history was erased, or they were forgotten by time, is still a mystery.”
I sighed. “I’ve told you at length about the elves. Now it’s time for us to talk about the scarlet wizard.”
“Well, actually…” Renee responded in a stiff tone. “I don’t know much other than what I gave you. Scarlet is a great wizard, that’s all. She trapped the monsters’ bodies with ice, dropped a giant rock from the sky, and so on…. Ah, I made it sound normal. But, believe me, sir. She was so awesome.”
“You’re just buying time by asking me to tell you about the elves first, aren’t you?” I slapped my forehead, feeling that my position as a god was ignored. “Come on. You don’t know anything anymore? What about their comrades?”
“I don’t remember at all…” Renee answered, still in a stiff tone. “I was too focused on the scarlet wizard who had helped our family. Well, that was years ago…. Sorry.”
“Then, let’s end this call.” I shook my head. “If there’s more information about her, let me know.”
“Okay…” Renee mumbled. “Why are you so attracted to the scarlet wizard, sir? Is it because of the akaimajo that the demon mentioned? I told you, I think they are a different person.”
I couldn’t possibly tell Renee the real reason. “Well, I can’t say why. At least for now.”
“I see…”
After saying goodbye to Lauren and Renee, I went to Elise’s shrine. Kimi was still lying in that room, accompanied by two of my servants. Yua was looking at the small cage on the wall containing a bee. The insect stared back at her, perched on the bottom..
“Looks like you’ve gotten more used to it, Yua.” I gave encouragement to the kunoichi, even though her face was clearly tense.
“Hardly.” She sounded reluctant. “I almost peed when Elise asked this bug to move. “I saw the face of this terrifying, disgusting, and definitely evil creature suddenly approached me.”
“You’ve got it under control, Elise?” I turned to the female warrior, who was sitting by the bed.
The woman nodded. “I do need more time, sir. However, I managed to do it.”
“Maybe you need to think of a name for her.”
My gaze turned to Kimi’s face.
After a few seconds of doing that, I feel good. Her small face and slightly plump cheeks made her so adorable. I really want to pinch her cheeks.
Sensing my two servants staring at me, I turned my head to them. “What?”
The elf slowly opened her eyes, then looked at me.
“Welcome to my place.” I gave a warm smile to the petite woman. “I am Raymund.”
Kimi’s eyes widened. She hurriedly got off the bed, making her fall, but Elise managed to catch her.
“Looks like you haven’t fully recovered yet, Kimi.” Yua helped hold the elf’s body.
Kimi then knelt in front of me. Her face barely showed any meaningful expression, but her eyes were filled with tears. “Thank you for your help, my lord…. Sorry, I’m not good at expressing my gratitude.”
“It’s okay. Thank you very much for coming here, even at great risk. Please, stand up.” I helped the petite woman to get up from the floor. “Now I ask you, what will you do after this?”
Kimi shook her head. “I don’t know….”
“Are you still obsessed with destroying humanity?”
The woman immediately shook her head without hesitation. “Thousands of years have passed, and the hatred has faded, my lord. And I think that humans who may still exist today shouldn’t have to bear the sins of their ancestors.” She then turned her head to my servants. “And there are also good humans like them.”
“I see.” I nodded. “Then, are you willing to be my servant?”
I can just immediately make her my servant. However, Kimi was different from Yua and Elise. They are dead, have nothing left, separated from loved ones, and have no more dreams. Maybe Kimi still has goals in her life, so I asked about her willingness first.
“I am very willing to be your servant, my lord.” Again, this petite woman’s tone was without any hint of hesitation. “I will follow your orders forever.”
“There is one problem.” I took a step forward to get closer to her. “Yua and Elise won’t be able to die below because they have divine auras. However, you are different from them. You can die in the mission I gave you.”
“If I die while carrying out your orders, it will be my honor.” The petite woman still showed no hesitation.
“Okay then. Wait a minute.” I opened the tab that displayed the option to make Kimi a servant and chose yes.
[Congratulations, Kimi Laitinen has become your servant. Now, you can send her to carry out missions]
“What are you doing, sir?” Despite asking such a question, Kimi’s expression didn’t change. In his eyes, I must have looked like I was moving my fingers through the air.
Yua lined up the petite woman. “That’s the way he does things.”
“True,” I answered, reading the next announcement tab.
[Would you like to change Kimi Laitinen’s equipment?]
–
[Kimi’s Lute]
Magic: A-
[A musical instrument that functions like a magic tool]
–
[Kimi’s Robe (Magically enhanced)]
Defense: B
Effect: 20% Mana increase
–
I chose no. This petite girl’s equipment was quite good, and her weapons were unique. I don’t want to change that.
[You can choose the third skill for Kimi Laitinen]
“Perhaps because you traveled to this realm, your power was greatly reduced,” I spoke while selecting the available skills. It didn’t take long for me to find the right one.
“And somehow, I’ve also forgotten a lot of magic I’ve learned.” She responded.
[Blessing Ballad – Grants a 15% buff of strength, agility, and vitality to all party members]
It’s a shame. Her previous abilities were definitely much more extraordinary. My guess is because she used up all of her magic energy, her powers were significantly reduced. Maybe it could be said that she was lucky because she was still alive.
I then gave a blue book to her. “Learn this.”
“Okay.” Because she spoke without a gesture, the petite woman looked like a statue making a sound.
