The sky turned dark, the night had come. After having a private conversation with Misa, Rigel decides to return with Ozaru to where Tortoise is after Ozaru finishes his meal.
Arriving there, Rigel can see a rescue team and several adventurers who are assigned to clean up the corpse of the Monster. Apparently, they were a group sent from Ruberios, Britannia, and the Eastern Empire. From behind the iron wall created by Rigel, there are twelve small tents that have been prepared and one large circular tent. Rigel did not care about the twelve small tents, he was only interested in the large tent that was in the middle of it. It looked like a special place to think about strategy.
Rigel was a little curious as to why they were building tents here and his gaze was immediately shifted to Tortoise. Surprisingly, Tortoise no longer moved.
"Has the creature been defeated?" Mumbles Rigel.
"Hmm? I think he's just asleep. Look, a lot of World Energy goes into that big guy's body." Ozaru as he pointed at Tortoise.
"Well, I did feel the natural energy gathering around him... We better ask these heroes. Come on." Rigel said, jumping down from the iron wall.
Rigel walked towards the big tent in the middle of the campground. Many people were staring at Rigel with surprise on his face, as Rigel turned towards him they quickly saluted Rigel. Everyone has been very knowledgeable about the hallmarks of the Creator hero. In addition to her white hair, she has a very unique left hand and makes it easy to distinguish.
When Rigel entered the tent, he got a bad reception. There were five heroes, three of them staring at Rigel with envy.
There are only Marcel, Argo, Hazama, Takumi and Takatsumi. Rigel was curious where the other four people were.
"Rigel! How's Yuri doing?!" Takumi asked as he ran towards Rigel
"He's fine. Where are the other heroes?" Ask Rigel.
"Ahh, thank goodness. For Aland, he was helping Adventurers clean up Monsters. Then the other heroes, they experienced the same thing as Yuri." Reply Takumi.
"Once, Ozaru go and save them." Rigel.
Despite not receiving Rigel's orders, Ozaru obeyed him and exited the tent. He asked where the other hero was placed to one of the female nurses who happened to pass by.
"Why did you come back here again, coward?" Marcel said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Ask Rigel coldly.
"Didn't you run away for fear of being killed with Tortoise on the grounds that Lucifer was in your country?" Argo said mockingly.
"Well, we can take it. Without those nuclear weapons, he's just the weakest hero among us." Takatsumi.
He became increasingly bold and openly showed an aura of hostility to Rigel. On the other hand, it made Rigel ticklish to him. Deciding to ignore their words for now, Rigel took a breath to temper his anger.
"It's up to you to believe it or not, but I'm not lying about it. Well, let's forget it. I have good information about car—"
*Toward........
"Stop bragging and act like you're the leader here!" Marcel said, cutting Rigel's words and hitting the table.
Rigel started shaking. Not because of fear, but because of anger. He wants to beat him up, no. He has to beat him! If it wasn't like this, Rigel would've put Marcel's head on the soles of his feet.
"That's not a lie, Argo." Hazama.
"Why? are you defending him? Hazama, tell me whose side are you on, huh?! Even though it was the truth, yet still he had escaped from the battle!" Jerky Argo.
"I'm not on her side, even I'm not on your side. I'm just taking sides with myself and following what's right for me." Reply Hazama coldly.
The relationship between heroes is not as good as expected. Rigel is confused as to why Marcel, Argo and Takatsumi seem to have embraced the hand in the shadows.
"Oii, you're overreacting! This is not Rigel's fault! we're all heroes and we're responsible for this, stop scapegoating Rigel!" Takumi tried to defend.
Rigel exhaled and said "Even without my presence, you should be able to handle it to some extent I didn't expect you to be this weak..." Rigel said condescendingly.
Marcel, Argo, and Takatsumi got up from the chair simultaneously. They looked at Rigel in annoyance and looked like a fight would break out at any moment.
"Fuck, you underestimated us?!" Marcel.
"It seems like he should indeed get a lesson." Takatsumi.
"Yes." Yeah." Argo agrees.
"Recurely, huh? three on one... It's no big deal..." Said Rigel while smiling mockingly.
Hearing Rigel's provocation, the three men jumped crashing towards Rigel angrily. Rigel had a wide smile on his lips and extended his left hand however...
"Shield Skill: Angel Shield..." Hazama said, using a skill.
The shield to emasan restricts Rigel and the three heroes. While Takumi held Rigel's hand with his spear handle.
"Stop this stupid fight! our opponents are Tortoise and not fighting each other!" Jerky Takumi.
The three people clicked their tongues and listened to Takumi's words. He was right, their opponent for now was Tortoise. Rigel took another breath and walked out of the tent while saying "Alright, it seems that you guys don't want to cooperate with me... If so, even though you begged while crying to me, I would never come to help." then leave the tent.
"Yeah, Rigel! wait!" Takumi said, but Rigel continued to walk regardless.
Rigel intends to return to Ruberios to pick up Asoka and Merial and return to the Region. While searching for Ozaru, Rigel is stopped by a blinking green light from within the forest. For some reason, Rigel chose to approach the green light. After walking quite a distance, Rigel found the beam of light and was about to grab it however...
*... ....
The green light was getting brighter so Rigel had to close his eyes. It took a minute for Rigel to adjust his vision to the surroundings. The moment Rigel opened his eyes, in front of him stood a very beautiful girl with butterfly wings.
"You... Who?" Ask Rigel while adjusting his eyes.
"Ruler of the Spirit Forest, Queen of the fairies, my name is Sylph..." He said with a smile on his lips.
