37 A Little Time Skip

~3 October 2006~

It has been a few days since the last fight we had with Marius and his force of Dragonoid creatures. It has also been a few days since the news of all the Satan came to my city to have a vacation. Lastly, it has been a few days since I signed a trade agreement with the Devil races.

Initially, Serafall offered us alliances between the Vongola family and the Devil races. However, I decided to politely reject the offer and say that my reason to deny that offer is that the Devil races still have a massive conflict with Heaven / Church force and Fallen Angel force. Not only that, but I also said that we are still fighting against the Tepes faction.

By the end of the day, we decided to sign the trade agreement between Vongola and Devil Races. The first thing I do after signing the deal is to order a bunch of rare plants that only grow in the underworld. On the other hand, Serafall decides to buy many potions from us. I know that Serafall wants to test if they can recreate the potion, so I hesitate to give them our potion. However, after Medea says that the potion's main part of creating the potion is Dying Will Flame, that makes the potion stable. Not only that, but the main ingredient we use to create those potions is also an original plant Amelia produced in the castle garden.

So I agreed to let Serafall buy our potions.

Not only I sign the Trade Agreement, but I also signed a non-aggression pact with them.

However, by signing this Non-Aggression pact with the Devil, many young devils decide to try their luck in recruiting the people of Faysummit. At first, I signed in relief when many reports said that the people of Faysummit denied their invitation to join a devil peerage. However, when they begin to harassing people to join their peerage, I decide to have enough of this bullsh*t.

After saying this problem to the devil delegation in Faysummit and getting rejected harshly by the people in charge, I then decided to inform this situation to Serafall. Still, she said that she couldn't do anything about this situation.

Seeing that the Devil will not do anything about this situation, I decide to do something. So I order Carol and the Varia group to eliminate them without the Devil knowing.

When the Devil sees that many of their young masters that harass the people of Faysummit disappear without any clue, they begin to warn their younger generation not to harass the people of Faysummit. However, even after warning them, many people decide to use force to 'recruit' the flame user. Let say that people using that tactic will feel that death is a paradise for them.

After many of them using violence to 'recruit' the flame user, I want to cancel the pact and the trade agreement. However, after hearing my guardian listing the pros and cons, I decided to wait for another week to do it.

While waiting for another week to pass on, I decided to buy many kinds of the plant from the Devil, be it a potion ingredient or a fruit and vegetable. This is one of the reasons why we decided to wait for another week. We want another sample of plants from the underworld. Amelia successfully modified the seed of the Dragon apple we got from them so it can grow in the castle garden. While it takes many tries, she can produce it on earth once again.

Not only that but Amelia also successfully modified it so it will reproduce more fruit than the one growing in the underworld. Let say after growing the Dragon Apple tree in Faysummit, many drake and wyvern decide to call this place home.

Ophis also became a semi-permanent citizen of Faysummit and when we have a banana farm in this city, well let say that she will not leave anytime soon. I even read a report of Ophis eating a banana from its tree without asking for the owner's permission. The last thing I hear is that Ophis' punishment for eating all the bananas is helping the farmer to harvest the banana from the tree. Let's say that Ophis cannot hold her urge to eat, and her punishment becomes longer.

As for Kuroka, She comes to this city from time to time, but after I sign the Trade and Non-aggression agreement, she comes to Faysummit less and less. She says that she and Vali have been training and hunting a monster that is roaming around the world, but I know that she is a little bit nervous when there are many devils in Faysummit.

"Master"

I snap from my thoughts when Medea walks inside my office, bringing some tea and a sweet with her.

"Master, You look tired. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"At this moment? No. I just read a report from Charlotte in Constanta that there is an increase of Fallen Angel visitors coming to Constanta."

"Yeah, I heard something about it from Carol. She said that the Fallen Angel that came to Constanta is worse than the Devil. Is that true, Master?"

"Yes and No. Yes, they begin to harass many people in Constanta when the woman reject their order to pleasure them. No, because they didn't try abducting any citizen of Constanta to join their side… Yet."

"I see. What should we do, My Lord?"

"Medea, I want you to create another bounded field around Constanta. I was hoping you could create a bounded field as strong as the one we have here. Take every resource you need to create this bounded field."

"Of course, Master. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, Nothing at the moment."

"Very well. I will go to Constanta to immediately create a barrier around it."

Seeing Medea leave, I slump back in my chair and sigh a little. I need to take a break from all the paperwork I got. However, I don't know where to go. I want to spend my time with all my guardians, but I don't want to distract them from their duty. Carol is currently patrolling outside my land with her minion. Mordred is now patrolling around Faysummit in case something happens. Medea just went away to do her job, creating a barrier around Constanta. The only one who didn't seem busy was Amelia.

"Well, I guess I will check on Amelia."

Using the function of the Bounded Field around the castle, I know that Amelia is in her room experimenting with something.

I then walk toward her room, and when I arrive in front of her room, I knock on the door. A second later, Amelia opens up the door and says.

"Lexian! What can I do for you?"

"Amelia, Do you want to go walk with me around Faysummit?"

"J-just the two of us?"

"Of course."

"L-Like a date?"

"If you want."

"Y-Yes!"

"Then I will wait for you at the castle gate."

"I will be there!"

I smile at her flustered face. I decided to walk toward the gate and wait for Amelia to finish whatever she was doing in her room.

Fifteen minutes. That is how long Amelia finished whatever she was doing in her room.

"Sorry for the wait."

"It's okay. Now, shall we?"

"We shall"

I then take her hand and begin to walk toward our destination. Nekomata Onsen Resort. At first, I wanted to take her around the market but seeing it was already 3 PM. I decided to take her to the resort and have a relaxing evening with her.

As we arrive at the resort, we are greeted by one of the Nekomata.

"Nya~?!? Lord Lexian! Welcome to Hot Spring resort 'Paw Spring' Nya~ What can we do for you?"

"We are sorry for coming without any reservation but do you guys still have any room for the two of us?"

"Of course, Nya! We always have a room ready for you and your guest! Come this way, Nya~."

We then follow the Nekomata, who leads us to one of the rooms.

"This will be your room, Nya~ There will be a massage in fifteen minutes. The food can be served inside your room, or you can come to the dining room downstairs. Which one do you prefer?"

I look at Amelia for a second before saying.

"We will have a private dinner."

"We also can do a private message for you if you want?"

"Please"

"Okay~ After the message, you will get a key to our VIP hot spring we have. While you two soak your body and relax, we will begin our preparation for your dinner."

"That is good. Thank you."

"You are welcome, Nya~."

As the waitress walked away from our room, I walked toward the veranda and sat down on the sofa. A second later, Amelia follows me and sits down beside me and watches the sky with me.

"Hey, Amelia"

"Hm?"

"Do you want to go back to your world?"

"Eh?"

"I'm saying that if you want to go back to your world."

"No, I'm not, why do you ask?"

"I just… I summoned you without your permission. I don't ask you if you want to leave your family behind or I didn't ask you if you want to leave your friend behind. I never ask you if you want to come to this world or not."

*PAK*

I rub my head as Amelia whacks my head with her hand.

"You are an idiot."

"What?"

"You summon because you know about my ability, right? And if you know about my ability, you know about my life, right?"

"Not really…"

"At least you know that I don't have a bright family, am I right?"

"Yes."

"Good because what you are thinking is too good to be true compared to what my life on Earth Bet is. Staying in a family that was never loved and mastered by the sister that only wanted me to heal everyone, she beat up to avoid jail time. Earth Bet is the place of depression. Hero plays a thief and cops with the villain even when they kill so many people each day. They let them the villain group run the city and only move their force when the situation is already out of hand. Empire 88, ABB, and the Merchant. Empire 88, who keeps killing anyone who didn't have pure blood or anyone that has skin color other than white. ABB the one responsible to forcefully recruit anyone with Asian ancestry to join their rank and the one that kidnaps many women, especially the one that has races other than Asians and becomes a sex slave by forcefully taken to their slave farm. Lastly, the so-called small fish, the Merchant. They are the ones that responsible for kidnapping many people young or old and forcing them to taste their drug, so they have an addiction to their wire."

Amelia takes another deep breath before continuing to speak.

"And there is me. A well-known healer. A miracle cape. The number one healer. At first, I enjoy healing the other with my power, but day by day, people begin to see that it was my duty to heal them and begin to force me to heal them and even curse me if I can't heal them. Day by day, I feel their thanks are not coming from their heart but rather a duty for them after I heal them. However, what makes me snap is that one day I fix a drug addict from becoming addicted to the Merchant drugs but did you know what that woman said?"

"No"

"Give me back my addiction, you c*nt. That is what she said and what makes me more horrified is that the so-called heroes ask me to let the drug addict have their addiction back. From that day, I keep the monotone routine. Heal people, go back home, sleep, and repeat. That is all I do for the rest of my life. However, when Leviathan attacked Brockton Bay and appeared in front of me, I began to think that it was finally my chance to free myself from this monotone life, and I was right. I appear here summoned by you. At first, I was suspicious of you and the other day, but day by day, my suspicions are gone and replaced by a warm feeling that I don't get from my family in the Earth Bet. Do I regret getting summoned by you to this world? No, Never. That's why you don't need to worry about me. I also know that others feel the same way as I do."

"Thank you."

"No, Thank you, Lexian."

I smile at her and slowly get close to her before kissing her.
