Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 4 - First Mission
"I'm sorry for being late" Liu Xiu said softly as he began to sit on one of the empty benches, with the table already filled with food in front of him.
"No, Master. We will wait for the Master for whatever time. You don't have to think about us" Alpha said firmly.
As always, Alpha is a stiff person.
"You don't have to wait for me if I've been too long. Like earlier there were some unexpected events." Liu Xiu replied.
He looked at the other seven.
Alpha and Beta were conversing, while facing Liu Xiu, Dain closed his own eyes while crossing his arms, Eina, Celica, and Ghea who were talking to themselves, all of them, and Fischia who looks impatient to eat food until his saliva drips a little.
Liu Xiu smiled seeing all of that. He knows, even though he's far from family, but he has his own family here.
But Liu Xiu thought that he should train them even better. Not everything went according to his wishes, and now he looks like he's spoiling them.
But..
"All of you! Let's eat first. After that, there's something I want to talk to you guys about!" said Liu Xiu opening.
It made everyone look at him in wonder, but Liu Xiu only smiled mysteriously while starting to eat.
***
"alright. You're all done, aren't you? Now there is something I want to talk about" Liu Xiu said.
It all immediately looks serious. Dain, who was usually unconcerned with his surroundings, now opened his eyes, looking focused. Even Fischia who used to focus only on food, was now paying attention to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu took a slow breath, then began to say.
"You try to live alone" Liu Xiu said.
It was like a heavy verdict for the other Seventh, and made them stop breathing for a moment. It was like lightning striking in broad daylight. Hearing that made them a little incredulous.
("*What is this? Did we make a mistake?")
("Do we make Master angry?")
("Are we going to end up being dumped?")
("We have to part with the Master? And with all of you? That's hard*!!")
Instantly, the people there looked. As if using telepathy, their eyes communicate with each other.
"Master!! Wh why? Why did the Master say that? Is the Master going to leave us? Is this because Fischia's naughty? Fischia promised not to eat much more, so don't leave us!" fischia said pretty loud.
Her eyes began to get wet, and her tears began to flow from her beautiful black eyes.
It made others grateful, because the outspoken Fischia said the word represented them all.
Seeing everyone's sad expressions, and Fischia's words just now, Liu Xiu immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Pardon me! Misapprehension. It's my fault to explain it in half." Liu Xiu quickly confirmed the sentence. Because if she didn't, Fischia would really cry!
"I mean, you guys have to move separately for these 3 days" Liu Xiu said confirming his sentence quickly.
"So, you will move separately for these 3 days. No one should be related to each other, and if you see the others just assume they are just someone else. In essence, try disguising yourself by becoming one with this city." Liu Xiu continued.
Everyone stared at each other, trying to understand what Liu Xiu said.
Dain just remained silent while nodding, seemingly understanding. Meanwhile, Beta explained a few things to Alpha while whispering.
"Well, you know what? This is the central city where Adventurers gather. There must be a lot of information, be it unimportant, to the most important as information about the enemy. I want you to look for that information." Liu Xiu said.
"This mission is only 3 days, and after that, we will gather to make the information intact." Liu Xiu explained as he nodded.
"Meanwhile, we're starting to move on our own? For the next 3 days?" ask Beta to clarify.
Everyone looked at me, and smiled.
"In other words, Master didn't throw us away, did he?" asked Fischia with a half-crying face.
"No-no. Your words can make others misunderstand, so please stop that. This is an exercise. If you guys understand what I've learned all along, it should be easy for you guys." Liu Xiu nodded in silence.
"Hehhh? What has the Master ever taught? Uhh! I knew! Master food is delicious!!" fischia said with a big smile.
Liu Xiu only sighed, while Beta looked at him with sparkling eyes while holding a diary book in her hand, writing something down.
"Will this work, or will it turn into a disaster?" ask Liu Xiu quietly.
***
It was a beautiful night, where the moon shone brightly over the night sky. With a few stars adorning the sky like colorful knickknacks, it makes anyone fascinated to look at it.
"Even the night sky looks the same. It was still beautiful." a soft voice sounded. From her voice it was clear that she was a woman.
The man began to write slowly, in a book. He wrote in a foreign language that no one here would understand.
?!
"Who's there?" tanyanya arrived.
He sensed an existence that was behind him, walking slowly.
"Ahh, I'm still getting caught, huh? You're really great, Beta." said the figure. He then continued walking while raising his hand, then sat down next to Beta while also staring at the stars.
"You're not even trying to eliminate your existence, Dain. So there's no way I didn't know you were coming." Beta replied.
They both remained silent, staring up. Dain and Beta, they look distant, but are actually familiar with each other. No, those seven people were indeed familiar from whichever side people looked at them.
"So, you must have understood, right?" dain said he started the conversation.
I took a breath, and he smiled.
"Yes. The Master wants us all to be independent. In addition, he has also said that we will be separated into 5 countries. After all, it was Master's goal" said Beta smiling bitterly.
"Well, that's right. Master is very careful, for people as strong as him. It honestly scares me." Dain started to stand up.
"I'm afraid of what we're going to fight. If Master is still nothing compared to that, then what can we do? It doesn't feel like we can do anything." continued Dain.
"Dain.." came Beta's soft voice trying to deny it, but it was true.
Dain was a person who rarely spoke, and always had a strong intuition. For him to speak this much, there was clearly something he was worried about.
"I also feel that you and Master look alike, you know!" said Dain again.
"What do you mean?" ask Beta for wonder.
"Come away, but I felt something similar to you when I saw Master. Maybe it has to do with your strength, and it also has to do with the power of Master. I can't say that for sure, because that's just my estimate" Dain said at length.
It made Beta pause for a moment, thinking about what Dain meant.
"What does that mean?" whisik Beta.
"Ahh, looks like you've found the answer. Then I say goodbye first. I want to do a mission soon. Alpha's been out of here, right?" dain said as he waved his hand.
A second later, Dain left, and disappeared from the presence of Beta quickly and without a trace.
"Huff. Dain's. He is really smart and good, as well as mysterious. I was a little curious how he could become like that." Beta complained softly.
"But for that sentence..." Beta slightly frowned.
"Does he mean Reinkarnator?" continued slowly.
