Chapter 129 – The Waterfall

Yua was in an all-four position, still wearing her bikini. So much sweat dripped down her body, and she had shortness of breath. “I’ve fought demons before…. I’ve also fought great fighters…. But, why is this more tiring than all that.”

Fortunately, Anja came at the right time. Elise managed to catch the bee and put it in a cage sold by that woman. The shape is similar to a bird cage but smaller, and the bars are tighter.

“Looks like she has calmed down,” Anja commented on the bees that had landed at the bottom of the birdcage. “Like the leash around Mona’s neck, this cage will calm her down.”

“I see.” Elise held the cage, observing the bug.

I checked my game UI. Just like Mona, the bee has also been registered as my servant. This means I can keep an eye on her from the pond.

“Elise, can you control her?” I asked the female warrior. Please visit 𝗳𝒓e𝚎𝙬𝒆𝙗𝚗o𝙫e𝗹. 𝐜𝐨𝙢

The woman tilted her head, still looking at the insect. “It may take some time, sir. She is very different from Mona.”

“Later, she can do reconnaissance, enter places that have limited access…”

“What!?” Yua was almost hysterical. “You will use her in missions too, sir?”.

“Come on, Yua.” Anja snorted. “What if you meet a bee demon? I’m sure you can overcome your fear, just like Elise. She can already be near the fire, even though she used to be hysterical seeing that thing.”

“I haven’t been able to completely shake off my fear.” Elise chimed in.

Yua changed her position to kneel, then looked at Anja. “What did you say, Anja? What demons?”

“Bee demon.” Anja shrugged.

The kunoichi squeezed her head. “Shit!”

“Ordinary demons are rare, let alone specific ones.” I sighed. If I want to use the bee for a mission, I have to make the kunoichi not afraid of the bug. “Ah, so we can’t take the bee on the mission yet, Elise?”

The female warrior nodded. “You’re right, sir. I really need some time to train her.”

Yua hastily stood up. “Then, let’s go on a mission now! I don’t want to be in the same place as that bug.”

Gotcha.

“Fine, if that’s what you want.” I slapped my forehead, putting on a disappointed look as convincing as possible. “However, you must deal with your fear of bees when you return, Yua.”

The kunoichi’s eyes widened. “But…”

“You are not alone. Elise and I will help you.” I flashed a smile and patted the kunoichi’s shoulder. “And I’m not asking you to hurry. You can take your time. However, I still hope you can get past your fear. I want you to be able to do your best on missions, even if there are bees beside you. This is to answer the prayers of those people.”

I walked to my magic pond before the kunoichi retorted.

The first mission was too silly. What the hell is ‘nose poop shooter?’ I’m also not happy with the second quest. The red district has connotations of adult entertainment. I don’t want my servants to be close to something like that.

It was this third option that caught my attention.

“Anja, do you know of an Island covered in the thick mist?” I asked Anja that because there’s an interesting thing mentioned in the mission description.

The gods don’t know what happened? Really?

Anja seemed to think for a moment. “Hmmm…. I’ve only heard a little, sir. The gods don’t know much about it, what’s in it, or why the land is completely covered in the mist…”

I smell bullshit. There was no way the gods didn’t know at all. Maybe they are hiding something. “Then what else, Anja?”

“It is said that the land was once inhabited by elves…. Then…. Oh! Every human who comes to that land can’t return!”

My heart rate started to crawl up. Not much information was given by Anja, but it made me very curious. Elves? No human ever came back from there? It’s all a formula that makes me really want to find out what’s going on in that place.

***

Raymund decided to send his servants on mission number three. After he thought for a while, he came to a conclusion. It is better to train the servants to go on demanding tasks so that their abilities will be trained to the maximum. They wouldn’t be well trained if they were just doing easy missions. If they are forced to face a difficult mission that cannot be avoided, they will be in trouble.

So, there they are now. Landed on the rocks near the waterfall.

Yua took a deep breath, clearly relieved that she didn’t have to be with the bee anymore. “It’s just me, or Sir Raymund is really hitting our ass harder every time he sent us on a mission?”

“That’s what you think?” Raymund chuckled.

Elise stared at the giant waterfall, which emitted a loud rumble that was strangely melodious to her ears.

“Waterfall, huh?” Yua looked around at the big trees in the area of ??the waterfall. “Too bad we didn’t bring our swimsuits.”

“Ah, I can send it to you right now.” Raymund hastily answered. He has just activated the skill to send items to his servants. “I will….”

“I’m kidding, sir.” Yua interrupted her master’s words, then jumped onto a large rock. She could feel light splashes of water hitting her face. “I think I’ve done enough refreshment. Now it’s time to focus on the mission.”

“I am really….”

“Who are you?” Raymund’s words were cut short by a slightly hoarse voice of a woman. Elise and Yua turned to the source of the voice, which was a petite figure in a deep purple robe. Raymund’s servants couldn’t see Her face because it was covered by a large hood.

“I’ve been watching you two for a while, but I can’t guess who you really are.” The figure continued her flat tone. “As far as I know, you girls came from some kind of low-flying cloud or something.”
