Chapter 64: Hart's
Three days later.
Slowly, the city of Mediator began to rise. The chaos of the time left many wounds for the residents, all starting from the circulation of caoy. Nearly a quarter of the population turned into depress.
The expressions of the population also slowly began to accept what was happening to them, especially those who lost loved ones due to caoy. Although there are still some, at least this city does not look gloomy.
If it wasn't for that magic formula, perhaps chaos could be minimized.
"Mrs, it's time." Rista's soft voice roused me from the daydream.
"Hmmm ...." I just accept it as a form of response. Another reason is because my mood is not good today, making me lazy to waste energy.
I walked in the hallway right behind Rista. Looking at the woman's body from behind, made me feel a little sorry for her. Although healed, the wounds on his skin are still visible, especially the neck and arms.
Rista did not tell in detail, he fought the man named Red Own with Saraya. Can make Rista who has above average body resistance, the man should not be underestimated.
With that wound, he couldn't possibly ask for a raise, right? Moreover, it was his fault for using the special potion I gave to others.
Speaking of Rista, his sister Rasta still looks less excited today. I told her to rest for a moment after the incident, but she still rests to this day. I know how exhausting it is. Rista had to learn to pay attention to herself like Rasta!
"We're up."
Saraya's Room.
Saraya was already sitting on a sofa brewing tea that seemed to be served to me, as there were only two glasses on the table.
I sat facing each other. The atmosphere was a little awkward, I filled the time by sipping the tea he was steeping.
"This ...?" I responded to the taste of tea that felt so familiar to me.
"The name of this tea is Camelia, the best tea ever" Saraya said, then sipped her tea again.
"Tea Camelia."
So that's his name. Justin has served this tea to me before, and this tea is indeed the best. He was trying to send this tea to the Maphas Kingdom, since he was already dead, it seemed like it was just a discourse.
"This tea also has many benefits that are good for the body. Especially for witches and swordsmen, this tea can clear the flow of Mana."
This tea was very useful to help Erish and the others, including the maids. If Saraya objected to this tea business, I plan to do a sweep of the southern region using the Nagad Kingdom to find the place Justin was referring to. But, I don't want to master it myself, it's more fun to do business with a trusted partner.
A few minutes passed, we just drank tea without continuing the conversation. Even I finished a glass of tea, maybe Saraya was the same.
My body really feels better than before thanks to this tea.
"Miss Hart." Saraya finally opened up the real conversation.
I just saw it without responding to Saraya. I thought it would only ruin the mood if I answered him.
"I want to thank you for helping fight the criminals." Saraya slightly lowered her head.
"It's my duty to protect business partners."
"My first impression when I first saw you, I felt you were a troublesome person, a bully, as well as a cold person. It turns out I was wrong."
It was because of your subordinates who suddenly attacked! I'm just defending myself, of course that's a natural thing.
"From the beginning, you warned me, but I realized it too late and had to lose a lot of people because of my negligence" Saraya continued.
He realized his mistake. My initial intention when I wanted to see him was to make sure that the Bad Blood Saraya led did not cooperate with the Holy Church or Satanists. About Justin, I just told him because he had to know about Justin's plan. It also concerns the future of my business.
"Related in the absence of action will only make you worse. You've become the leader of the Luxtier Trade Association now, more burden you'll shoulder, and more people you'll have to protect."
"You're right. I'm really pathetic." Saraya looks moody.
For three days, Saraya was completely devastated. He lost his family and his family. The thing that caught my attention was the death of the right hand man who was also her lover, a man named Edward. The man was already lifeless right in front of the fortress, a lot of caoy powder on his body. It looks like her body is rejecting caoy, it would be great if I could research her body.
"Eheem .. So, what action are you going to take now?" my many.
Saraya's facial expression instantly changed, this time she looked annoyed. I was even surprised how this woman could change her expression so quickly.
"Do what you think is right."
This is about meeting with the Federation and my side. Saraya was really annoyed that none of the Federation's parties had helped the chaos that night. They chose to flee for no reason. Well, I had intended to influence Saraya, but it doesn't seem to be needed anymore.
"Miss Hart, I advise you not to attend the meeting later."
"Can I know why?"
"The federation will probably do everything it can to bring you down. Their golden opportunity will only appear if you are there. There'll be some tricks they'll probably do."
"Alright, I'll send my subordinates."
If you look closely, maybe this is just my feeling, it seems like I can see my reflection from within this woman. It's a pity that I didn't invite any of the sisters to see his current level.
"Moreover, this might be a long debate. I'm planning on changing a lot of the association's terms, especially the ridiculous agreement Justin made earlier."
He was very serious about changing the association thoroughly. I hope he's better than Edd.
"So, how do we mention our relationship now?" saraya asked with a slight smile. I saw his smile was sincere even though he didn't show it all.
"I-I don't understand what you mean."
What's he thinking? Why are we getting off the topic? If I were still a man, maybe I'd say "Yes, let's have a more serious relationship than this!".
"Eheem .. I mean we're friends."
"Friends?"
A word that reminds me of my previous life. Buddies. I even narrowed down my scope to shy away from someone especially a relationship like a friend.
I was a little envious of the party trying to conquer my dungeon. They work together, even willing to waste money on friends in order to upgrade items.
"Huh?" I was carried away by daydreams so that I didn't realize Saraya was right next to me and took my hand.
The woman's face looks so happy to see me. I'm a little upset, he's kind of pitying me.
I'll let it go this time.
---------------------------
I went back to the temporary room I occupied while I was still in this place.
I thought we were gonna talk about the gun business that Edd and I agreed on. I still don't mind the revenue share Edd has to offer, if Saraya doesn't mention it, then there's no problem, right?
My business depends on the meeting Saraya will hold. I hope he didn't do a blunder and he hurt me. If that happens, my hope is now just a magic wand centered in the Mystick Kingdom. Hela is still closing down her kingdom, but she still runs the business on behalf of the Mystick Kingdom and continues to send results to me.
"Mrs, may I ask you a question?"
"Ask, Rista."
"Why don't you turn on the people closest to Saraya? I think it'll probably make his trust even higher on you."
It must have been the sisters who told them that there was magic that could bring the dead to life.
"That's a good plan. But, he won't thrive if he uses it that way."
"So, you mean Saraya had to feel a sense of loss to stimulate her emotions. Among other things, you made Saraya stronger with the regret of losing, and the desire for revenge?"
"L-yes, you're very quick to understand."
Did he read my mind?! Actually, Saraya can also thrive if I bring her father and lover to life. But, maybe he will be too focused on thinking about his father and lover, so that his abilities will be dull as time goes on. That's why I chose this path for his future.
Saraya, you are the leader now, there will be many burdens to bear. Get rid of all your feelings and keep on being strong. I'll bet that if Saraya is going to be a figure worth reckoning with, maybe the Federation won't act rashly in order to bring Saraya to their side.
"Rista, we'll be back."
"Good."
