The Rise of the Sword Expert
The Walking Siren

"Mr Akion, are you okay?"

Levian asked me which side I was on the spot. This is a hard thing I accept.

"I feel disappointed in myself."

My heart hurts, it hurts because of a tremendous disappointment. Why didn't I think about it from the beginning? Tanka the fairy of the land, she was able to make a flower garden in the front yard of her house.

Tanka why didn't she ever say it?

Levian approached me and knelt on one leg.

"Please don't say such a thing, Mr. Akion."

"I should have realized it early on and been able to make progress faster."

I glanced at Levian, "You stand up."

It's not his fault. I'm lacking the ability.

"Mr Akion, you're so great, you're introducing new technology and it's working. That's a great advance."

A week ago the prototype got home, and it worked really well, even the reports I received they had harvested some farm produce. Something very good for them.

"Mr Akion, I know you will become even greater than now, you must realize what our purpose here is for. Isn't this for Sanktessy too?"

The deg!

Thas right. I do it for my territory, if I lose my spirit and get too fixated on this problem, then the other problems will not be solved and will even increase.

I patted my forehead once, waking myself up to focus.

"You're right, Levian. Forgive my labile attitude."

I walked back, entering this warm house. On the inside, the house is a little dusty because Tanka has left it for a month, then the furniture here is very simple. There were no chairs, only tables, cabinets and laboratory equipment.

We put all the necessities carefully so that this house is not left in a mess. One day, the person who owns this house may come back.

"Do I need to clean this house?"

"Do it if you need to."

I sat on the floor, and quietly observed Levian who was excited about cleaning Tanka's house and arranging her furniture. It could be in Levian's heart that he wants to be a good housefather, who is always willing to help his wife later. Just look at how clever and efficient all of his actions are.

Levian could probably be one of the top men as the Imperial man he wanted to marry if the noble women found out that Levian was very lukewarm, papaable, and knightable. His face is pretty handsome too.

"Please drink the lion master."

Levian put a dark drink in front of me. He was now acting like a burly servant, even the apron he was wearing made this knight's body look cute.

"Is this poison? What kind?"

"That's the problem, Mr. Akion. I don't know what kind of poison this is?" Levian smiled cheerfully with a shriveled forehead.

I chuckled with my mouth open and drank a drink prepared by Levian, this ordinary coffee with a unique glass.

"How does it feel, Mr Akion?"

I nodded to think about it, something quite unique but very interesting and delicious.

"What kind of coffee is this, Levian?"

"It looks like coffee beans from a plant grown by Tanka, Mr. Akion. I don't know for sure" He hesitated and walked to find where he kept the coffee beans.

"Bring that too. I'll ask him as tribute."

"alright. Do I have to bring the others?"

"What-like?"

"Tanka has a good basil paste." Levian showed his passion, it seemed like he was interested in the world of cooking, and suggested the truth was in his mind.

"Take it. You're gonna want to try cooking it, aren't you?"

His mouth opened in shock at my exact guess. He smiled stiffly.

"Later I'll ask Tanka."

"I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Akion." Genuine smile.

"Don't forget to present it to me. Serve with favor, otherwise, maybe I'll scold."

He scratched his cheek finely, hesitating.

"That's fine, Mr. Akion"

However, he did not need to doubt himself. He put in the rest of the items that will be brought. As expected, we will be two days on Mount Berk. It's completely dark, during the day only the density of the trees here covers most of the entrance of the sun. It was only four in the afternoon, but the sun had disappeared completely leaving a dense darkness.

I told Levian to sleep inside Tanka's house, tomorrow morning we'll go back to Siren's. If we go out now, it will definitely be troublesome. At night the monsters will move more freely. I don't want to rush things, everything's even on schedule. So I need to relax a little and rest.

**

It would be nice if he didn't try to run when he saw me.

I had to jump up and catch him, his small arm wrapped all over with my palm. He looked at me in shock, his expression terrified. The green eyeball looked at me trembling, she looked like she wanted to cry.

"I'm sorry." I weakened that grip. I don't want to let go. His scales glistened as the sun hit him.

He did not speak, his face pale with his mouth tightly closed.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." I smiled sincerely.

"Le-let me go!" He screamed in fear.

"I'm sorry, I can't."

I'm really uncomfortable in this situation. Saw him struggling and begging.

"Include me is Akion Naal Sanktessy."

That simple introduction changed his expression quickly. His body trembled, his eyes widened, but he did not thrash. It looked like such a deep sadness.

"Sanktessy...." His voice was barely heard.

"Yes, that's my family name." I smiled in response.

He looked down, several times I saw him bite his lips with a sad expression.

"Are you crying?" I asked softly who I did not realize had let go of my hand grip. He's moving, I think I'm late in stopping him from escaping. But compared to running away, he was now looking at me straight, a look that confused me.

"What do you need?"

Her voice was very smooth balanced with her beautiful form. The sound was intoxicating, and interesting

I was silent for quite a while. Until Levian showed up and called me. I realized he was still looking straight at me.

"I need your scales." I said that request with doubt. Is that something that will hurt him? The scales are also part of his body.

"That's all?" He looked at me expectantly. But I just nodded, that's all I needed.

"How much?"

"If it can fill this bag." I lifted the small pouch I had taken from the pouch of my robe.

"All right, that's easy." He was silent for a moment, "Then grant me one wish."

Now he offers an exchange of transactions. He knows how business works.

"Say."

He looked at me, his breath heavy. "Can you move me from here?"

"Then what about your family?"

He shook his head, he looked at the river where he was.

"I don't have a family. I'm alone here." She's staring. Maybe he's the only one left.

"Tanka said that this is Siren's place. How can you just stay alone?"

"Tanka?!" His face turned sour.

Something's going on between him and Tanka.

"So, have you met Tanka?" Wry tone.

"yeah."

"And he asked for my side. He's always full of deceit." Face bent.

"Siren comes from the ocean, I'm just one Siren brought by caesar here"

He made a bitter expression.

"Why did my ancestors bring you here? Wouldn't it be better for you to live together in the ocean. So you want me to take you out to sea to meet your family?"

"No! That's a ridiculous request."

He looked sad when he indifferently talked about it as if it was no problem.

"I want you to take me to the Sanktessy residence. You know how bored I am here alone."

He sighed. Without saying anything, he looked at me begging with his eyes.

What's problem?

Lately too great creatures are present in the sanktessy residence.

"I could have done it. But are you sure you left this place? And it's gonna be hard to take you." Half of it is my little lie.

"There's a reason why Tanka asked me for siren scales, which are her sworn enemies." He laughed softly, maybe he needs a friend to fight again. "It's only fitting that I haven't seen the trunk of his nose in weeks, it turns out that he's been following a handsome man."

"All right, I'll take you. Before fulfilling my request."

He smiled cheerfully, then went into the water. I waited for a while for him to come back with a bag of his scales.

"Does it hurt?"

He nodded with a happy smile.

"Can you stay out of the water for some time? We'll be far away from the water, and Levian'll be holding you." I pointed at Levian who was sitting under a tree while holding his sword enthusiastically.

"no need. I can walk on my own."

The wind blew strong. Her beautiful tail had turned into both slender legs with a fluttering green dress, and her eyes met mine. Marvellously. I smiled brightly like a girl who found something sparkling.

"Can we walk now?"

Levian had finished scanning it with amazed eyes. "Yes." Yeah."

"You're being disrespectful to this young lady, Mr Akion?"

I looked at him suspiciously. Why am I being disrespectful to him? I smiled softly so that she would not be afraid of me.

"Who's the name of miss siren?"

"Eliana, you can call me Eli."

He started walking, for someone who spent most of his time in the water, he was great at moving both his legs lightly and agilely. Occasionally even he caught the fallen leaves as if he had waited a long time for it.

I have taken the things I left behind in Berk Mountain. It ate four large sacks. I need a lot of things from here.

So all the things we brought were seven sacks, and a siren that could walk on land.

He watched us timidly. When I caught him looking at us, he would throw his face away and act like he never saw.

"It's all done. It's time to go home." I am relieved by the completion of this.

"Eli, let's go home." He was busy looking around him, saying his gratitude and farewell to the place he had been with him.

He approached us, Levian's hands full of stuff, then I tore the magic scroll down.

The move always happens quickly, like just opening your eyes with a slightly annoying effect.

This is a technology that has not been invented on earth. Compared to the two of us, wasn't Eli's attitude annoying. He landed elegantly while using teleportation with magic scrolls.

Like the magic effect I often see on television, she landed very slowly as if time were slow on her, even her long hair moved smoothly up and down gently.

It was a very pretty sight to watch. Make Eli's figure like a painting.

I showed up in my study, yes I arranged it. So that when the portal opened in my room, the strong wind made my room a mess and a commotion. Bastian first came to us.

His face was shocked, but he was even more shocked by Eli's whereabouts.

He looked at me with annoying eyes, mocked me and teased me simultaneously. This can make misunderstandings.

No, it's not like people go home alone. I didn't think of that.

"Where are we?"

"My work space."

"Bastian until when do you want to look at me like that?!"

She set her expression, then with her little smile she said.

"Is this your candidate, Mr Akion?"

"Don't fantasize much, Bastian."

"So you don't have a relationship yet?"

Oh my God, this misunderstanding drives me crazy. I was very young and had not thought about it. Relationships are often a barrier.

"It's not so, Bastian. She's guest. A siren."

Eli smiled at Bastian whose face was shocked in disbelief. Yeah that's how you should be.

"Sure she's so pretty."

"Why do you have this leg?" Bastian slightly closed his mouth in admiration.

Eli was not offended by it, he answered Bastian sincerely, "I bewitched him. It's nice to walk."

"Bastian, out. If I need you, I'll call you."

"Oh, alright, Mr. Akion. I'll go first."

"Miss...?"

"Eli" he answered briefly.

"Well, Miss Eli, if you need anything, you can call me." Bastian blinked his eyes.

"Bastain" I said heavily.

Bastian hurriedly came out with a grim face. Outside I heard his words wishing I had my own spring. It's old people

it had too much worry even on trivial matters.
