The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 108 [Leaving Rocco Village]

"Nothing left?" ask old Recho.

Pietro shook his head while crying rather profusely. Her eyes were red and a little swollen now. In front of them, the Rocco villagers were driving them away.

"This is sad.The dwarves are saddened by the departure of Mika and Aqua who helped them so much this month. But they don't care if Pietro leaves, either" Eli said.

"In any case he is also the son of this village."

Aqua realized Eli's annoyance. She and Mika feel the same way. Among the dwarves, only the old Recho was truly worried and concerned about Pietro's departure.

"Thank you for everything this month. We will not forget the kindness of the villagers" Aqua said kindly.

"Ahahahaha, don't be so stiff. You and your girlfriend have helped us a lot!!" praise old Ghor who drove the Aqua party first.

"No, compared to the help of the villagers and Mr. Recho, we're not very helpful."

Mika denies it now. But that does not mean that the girl is really humble. He only felt, gaining the hearts of the dwarves would be beneficial.

In fact, the assistance Aqua and Mika provided for the village was indeed quite large. Aqua helped the dwarves obtain materials and materials from outside the village and helped them complete the heavy work as well. While Mika gives the things that any women want that they cannot get in the village (beauty). Due to their persistence, Aqua and Mika are well-liked by the Rocco villagers.

Even in return, the dwarves made equipment and items for them. One of them is a new thin armor and looks like a regular robe with a cool design. For the record, from the first out dungeon until now, Mika still wears her mask, only certain moments such as eating and only she takes it off, even then covered up. It was all because the Arc-Angel beauty was too dangerous.

The female dwarves swarmed Mika, asking the girl to stay longer.

"I'm sorry, but we still have things we need to work out soon. We'll stop by again sometime" Mika declined.

"That's a pity..what can I do then, at least accept this!"

One of the female dwarves handed a pouch to Mika.

"?"

"Thank you..."

Mika accepted it without opening. Because when Mika was about to open it, her hand was blocked by another female dwarf's hand.

In Aqua's view, there was already nothing more that he and his friend needed to talk about anymore. The sun had also started to rise, there was no reason for them to stay there any longer.

"It's time. We go first!"

All the dwarves in front of them waved their hands, ushering in their departure in a friendly manner.

"Be careful on the way!!!"

"Thank you everyone!!!!!!" scream them together.

After Aqua and the others were no longer seen in Rocco village, the old Recho shed tears. However Pietro was, he was his only son, there was no way he would not be saddened when his son left him. He's just being tough.

Understanding the old Recho's feeling, the old Ghor patted his back.

"That boy will come back later. And once he returns, his name will definitely be big!" entertain him with a big smile.

"Whisper, old Ghor! I don't care about him!" rebut old Recho brushed off the old Ghor's hand and turned back to his house.

The old Ghor looked at the old Recho's manner with annoyed eyes.

"Based on this old fucker.." laughs the dwarf.

...***...

Several days passed since they left Rocco Village. On the way, Aqua teaches Pietro to use magic. Because the use of magic is taboo for dwarves, Pietro initially refused. But Aqua managed to convince herself.

"I'm not going to force you. Vote for! Keep forging your body until it's strong enough to lift the hammer somehow it takes, maybe when it happens your age is too old. Or practice magic with me and use the rest of the time to develop your forging skills. The choice is in your own hands."

That was what Aqua said when she convinced Pietro.

Petro decided to challenge himself out of the safe zone of the dwarves. After all, from the beginning he was different, what's the harm in being more different?

The elemental magic Aqua taught was only a land element, because the elemental blessing that Pietro had was only land. But that was more than enough for Pietro to use. Aqua also taught Pietro to use reinforcement magic. Thanks to that, Pietro became strong enough to lift the 1-ton hammer that his father and grandfather used.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Pietro was much more talented than his father and grandfather. He could directly use high-level techniques that other dwarves would find difficult to perform just from seeing his father forge everyday.

The only reason why Pietro was said to be untalented and unable to forge was simply because he was not strong enough to lift the hammer. The matter was solved just like that just because Pietro learned magic.

The dwarves would definitely faint hearing that.

Well, even from the beginning Aqua did know about it. So did Mika and Eli who had a premonition about it. The three of them acted as if they knew nothing and were surprised by Pietro's talent, they also praised him and called the child a genius.

For Aqua to give him freedom and opportunity, as well as for Mika and Eli to support him wholeheartedly, Pietro promises his loyalty as a companion, friend, family and subordinate all at once. He promised the heavens that he would never betray his three saviors.

Thus, Aqua obtained another trustworthy companion.

(Not Far from Aranyu City)

"Hey... When do the other members arrive? It's been 6 days since we've lived near Aranyu City, you know." Eli lamented as he slept on the couch.

As Eli had said, Aqua and the others had already lived near Aranyu City for 6 days. If plus travel time, it has been 8 days they went from Rocco Village.

"Do you hate a peaceful day like this?" mika asked while eating snacks and drinking tea.

"Not hate it anyway. but I'm tired of~"

"Ha~ahh. Aren't you mentally the most mature here?" syndicate Aqua.

"Motionally, huh. I'm 14 years old! And because I am immortal.. I will never age~" elak Eli.

"Not aging does not mean immature. This one creature..."

"Sad..."

During these 4 days, there were not many things they did. Aqua taught Pietro from morning until evening, Mika and Eli also sometimes helped. If they are not teaching, they will go out and play in the city. But since this place was a trading city, the entertainment provided was mostly only related to trading or auctions.

So inevitably, they could only relax inside the hut. But yeah, actually Eli wasn't that bored. There are comics from Japan, Korea and China that Mika reprints from Aqua's memories. He just hates waiting.

Mika put down her tea cup slowly.

"But Eli is right.. Aren't your friends a little late? It's already the 3rd. Time of the promise, it's the 2nd!"

"Isn't that too cruel? Traveling between continents takes a long time, right? I know because you've been away" said Pietro, who plays chess with Aqua.

Aqua moved her chess piece to another column.

"No. What we're talking about is them. A week is enough."

"?"

Mika nodded, she walked towards Aqua and Pietro gracefully. The girl sat in front of the chessboard so she could see it clearly.

"If that's not the case, their eligibility at Raven needs to be questioned."

"Oi, oi, oi! We have never met before. But you have hurt my heart with your cruel words. Very similar to that demon boy, huh..."

"!"

A voice that Aqua had not heard for a long time now echoed in her ears. The increasingly masculine wet hoarse voice drew closer to them.

"Please forgive us, there's been a little accident on the way..."

"Right right! Who would have thought we would meet a pirate who was quite troublesome..."

This time the typical elder sister's voice sounded in turns. The first seemed soft and mature, the second impressed jail and seductive.

Eli quickly got up from the bed and tidied himself up. Pietro also sat up straight from nervousness. In contrast to Aqua and Mika who only smiled while still looking at the chessboard.

"For a long time no see" Aqua said briefly but sounded warm.

A 16-year-old boy and a pair of twin wolf-eared women appeared from behind the door. They looked a little different from what Aqua knew. But whatever it is, they're still them, no matter how much they change.

"Right, long time no see." their smiles were sincere.
