The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 106 [A little More... ]
POV Ruby
I've done some experiments to know this skill better. There were some amazing things I found in that experiment.
First, this skill is really similar to the concept of playing games. The difference is that the Avatar game is directly connected to me. When my Clone leveled, I as its main body also leveled up. When my Clone dies, there'll be an 8-hour cooldown until my Clone comes back to life.
This is truly an amazing and very useful skill. But the most amazing thing for me right now is that whatever Clone I eat, some of it will be energy for my main body. In other words, I will not starve as long as my Clone eats and I can remain leveling despite being confined here.
Thanks to this. I can level insanely until my maturity day.
I don't know why Aqua accepted the engagement request back then. Ruby.I who have no memory of his previous life is too innocent. He just couldn't use what he could use. I can't blame him either.
I am Ruby, also Tiara. Don't you think I'd be so naive before!
I need to get stronger quickly to find big brother! Also to survive!
Engaged to Aqua, be it luck or bad luck.
If I can now arguably take over the role of heroine, that means I should also take the difficulty of the Aqua route as well.
The Aqua route was very dangerous, I also did not know what was different from the game and reality now.
Let's keep quiet and behave as usual while continuing to level. With this identity, I won't be able to fight that jala*g.
I will have to be patient in a moment.The only one who can release me from this contract is the Imperial Family as well. In this case... Aqua is the most likely.
I feel bad about having to use it.
Especially that kid... Aqua is Ruby's first love, the old me.
No. Even now his love is still felt. My heart flutters when I think about it, I feel like I miss him a lot, not as a 2D character. But as a man.
It's getting confusing... Ruby loves Aqua and I love you.
Ha~ahh... why is my love story this complicated?!!
In order to get my feelings right, I first need to find brother first!
It's possible that big brother also has a memory of his previous life like me, then that will make it easier for me to find big brother!
Brother... Please wait for me!
Once we meet again, I will make sure to hit you at least once for not keeping your promise!

The Dwarf Village, Rocco
"Hatchiiiiii.." sneezing someone.
"Did you get the flu?" ask Pietro worried.
The teenager in front of Pietro rubbed his nose a little rough.
"No, maybe someone's talking about me."
"?"
Aqua walked with Pietro back to the boy's house. Along the way, the dwarves greeted Aqua kindly. It was quite rare for dwarves to be friendly, but thanks to Aqua and Mika helping them a lot, they started to open their hearts.
"Anu... are you sure you can convince dad?" anxious Pietro.
Aqua smiled faintly.
"Stop formal speaking. I told you to call me Aqua. All my friends call me that."
Pietro's eyes began to sparkle.
"Friends? Do I, too, include your friends?"
"Hahahaha, why are you asking that? Ever since I decided to take you, you've been my friend. So speak as usual" Aqua replied.
"Ah... well, uh no. yes," pleased Pietro.
"good. Hmm... Did you ask me if I was sure I could convince your father? I'm honestly not sure. Dwarves are stubborn, it must be hard to convince your father, but at least I'll try."
"Thank you very much, Aqua!!" irascible.
Aqua simply replied with a smile.
"It's like having a little brother."
YOKE
Someone patted Aqua's shoulder from behind. The boy looked behind him. He saw a girl (?) Kynlaus is in a mess. Her hair was not tidy, her clothes were tangled, her eyes looked tired and there were panda eyes there.
"What are you doing here?" aqua asked a bit coldly.
"It's done..."
"?"
"IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!!!!" eli's screams blaring.
It felt Aqua's ears ringing to hear the cry of the bell. He covered Eli with his hands rather roughly.
"Be quiet, explain slowly!"
"Fufufu... Finally!! Barrett M82A1 and SIG Sauer P226 My order is done!!!!" girang girl (?) that's pretty loud.
Eli staggered around like a drunk. Aqua knew her friend was crazy, but she didn't think that crazy. How not? Perhaps so happy (stress) her, Eli went around the village while cheering gleefully and greeting the dwarves he met.
Aqua shook her head tiredly. Mika came out of one of the houses not far from there. He also heard Eli's scream earlier, so he went out to see things.
"W-is she okay?" anxious Pietro.
"Leave it. His head was a little troubled. I don't know how long he hasn't slept. Later he will improve on his own," tired Aqua.
Mika walked over to Aqua and Pietro.
"Eli's weapon is done? It's not even 1 month, you know."
"Yes. As expected of Recho Chalcedony. The old man is indeed amazing," praised Aqua.
Pietro was stunned to hear Aqua's praise. He lowered his head, the child's feelings were a little complicated now.
"It's nice. We can leave the village after letting the two of them get enough rest" Aqua said.
"All right."
Mika only realized Pietro's existence completely after their conversation was over.
"Are you Pietro Chalcedony?" ask Mika kindly.
Pietro was a bit frightened, he was hiding behind Aqua.
"Why do you know my name?"
"I heard it from the female dwarves that Recho Chalcedony had a very cute son named Pietro Chalcedony. Nice to meet you," Mika's smile was gentle.
"Well, let alone Aqua has also said what Pietro Chalcedony looks like before."
"That's it... Nice to meet you too." nervous Pietro.
Aqua turned aside for Pietro to stop hiding. Stretching her hands towards Mika, the boy introduced her.
"Pietro, maybe you already know because you've been watching us for a long time. This girl is my fiancee, Mika. And the one that was slightly tilted was my friend and colleague, Neelima."
"If we go together later, they will also become your friends and associates. So stop talking formally to them either."
"Say-I understand.please ask for his help as well.." said Pietro still a little nervous.
Mika laughed a little at the boy. Together with Aqua, Mika also accompanied Pietro to ask his father's permission to leave the village with Aqua's group.
Both Mika and Aqua had prepared thousands of plans in their heads. So they can definitely convince Recho Chalcedony at any cost.
But...

"Huh!!? You want to take this boy with you!? Okay, just take it if he's useful to you!" replied the old Recho leisurely while wiping the sniper rifle of his creation.
"!?"
Recho Chalcedony's response once he heard Aqua and Mika's proposal was different from what they thought.
