Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 146 - 139: Leenaʼs visit (Morning)

The morning sun had kissed her awake. Slivers of light peeped through the drawn blinds, casting thin golden stripes across her angelic face. She opened her eyes and slowly, drowsily, and lopped sidedly she smiled before glancing in her brotherʼs direction hoping to see the latter already awake.

However, her smile died and got replaced by a sigh when Gracier saw her brother still sleeping, there was nothing that indicates he would be waking soon.

After standing and going to the bathroom, Gracier comes back after some time with a washbowl and towel.

Suddenly, Silveria appeared and helped Gracier to remove Alexʼs clothes, she then holds him as Gracier cleaned his body. After finishing, the two helped Alex to get dressed again before laying him back in the bed.

ʼʼHow long did you think he will stay in the coma for?” Gracier asked worry written all over her face.

Silveria took a sit on the other side of the bed and pondered for a moment before answering.

ʼʼMaybe for another two or even a week. His body suffered a lot and was currently undergoing evolution, therefore it would take some time for it to be done. Letʼs wait, no need to worry heʼs fine, he will eventually wake up I can assure you that.ʼʼ

Hearing Silveriaʼs words, Gracier felt a little bit reassured. She decided to sit and watch her brother for a while before deciding on what to do in the meantime.

Suddenly, Silveria who was observing Gracier suggested.

ʼʼIn the meantime why not use this chance to train, to level up. You know the gap between you is wide even before he killed that ogre. So, imagine what he levels gonna be once he wakes up?”

Gracierʼs body trembled when imagining it, somehow she felt frustrated, she doesnʼt want the gap between them to further increase until it would become impossible to catch up.

Being always protected left a bad aftertaste in Gracierʼs mouth, somehow it gave the impression of she was one-sidedly taking advantage of Alex like she was using him. The more correct would be, she was a burden slowing him down as he kept continually saving her.

The frustration she was feeling when thinking that could not be described with words. Not liking feeling this way, she declared eyes filled with blazing determination.

ʼʼI donʼt like this feeling. I need to change.ʼʼ

Suddenly, a powerful pressure was released from Gracierʼs body when she declared that, her right eye was shining, even her dragon eye was emitting golden light, if not for the special eye patch blocking it, the room would be filled with golden brilliance. Everything returned to normal after a second, however, Gracierʼs determination didnʼt lessen in the slightest.

Silveria who was watching everything from the start nodded her head with a pleasing smile. However, her smile vanished in the next second when she heard Ignia annoying voice.

[Thatʼs the spirit, my child. As expected of someone chosen by me. Show them whose child you are. I know my words will-]

ʼShameless. You did nothing and now that I suggested something and she decided to follow it. You want to take the credit. How thick is your skin? Ah! I forgot that you are a dragon, hence your skin is naturally thicker, no wonder you are that shameless.ʼ Silveria cut Ignia off and said in a mocking tone.

In her flame dimension, Ignia was pissed.

[How dare you, you flat-]

ʼI dare you to finish what you are planning to say. Hehehe! Go and say it. I need something to release the accumulated stress lately and I think youʼll do fine. So, finish your words.ʼ

Silveriaʼs words send a chill down Igniaʼs spine, she didnʼt dare to continue knowing well the fate awaiting her if she were to finish that sentence.

Seeing Ignia cower, Silveria inwardly smiled before turning in Gracierʼs direction. The latter hadnʼt heard the exchange between the two except for Igniaʼs first sentence that brought a smile upon her face even though she didnʼt hear the whole thing as Ignia stopped midway before finishing. ʼI wonder why?ʼ Gracier thought before shaking her head.

ʼʼGood, what is your current level?” Silveria asked even when she could have checked using her appraisal skill, however, she didnʼt as she sensed Gracier being wary of her, not wanting to give her any more reason to be warier than she is, Silveria decided to directly ask.

ʼʼLevel 33.ʼʼ Gracier immediately answered.

ʼʼI see. Letʼs aim to get to Level 50 within a month. If you donʼt succeed at least you should be Level 45.ʼʼ Silveria declared.

Gracier pondered for a moment, ʼlevel 33 to 50 or at least 45 within a month is doable.ʼ she thought, lifting her head she nodded her head to indicate that she accepted.

ʼʼGreat, immediately get to work.ʼʼ

ʼʼI know. Iʼll be going, please take care of brother why Iʼm not here.ʼʼ Gracier said and went to prepare.

ʼʼDonʼt worry I will,ʼʼ Silveria said.

After a moment Gracier was dressed in her adventurer gear (the one Leena gifted to her), just when she was about to open the door and leave she coincidentally encounters Leena who was about to knock. Startled the two looked at each other for a second before Leena smiled.

ʼʼMorning little Cier. How are you doing?”

ʼʼFine Leena. Thanks for the help. Come in and sorry I wonʼt be able to stay because I have something to do. Silveria is in. See you.ʼʼ Gracier invited Leena in before leaving.

Leena watched the retreating Gracierʼs back with a smile. ʼShe seems more determined than ever. I wonder what happens? Maybe itʼs the doing of that silver-haired girl?ʼ

Leena wondered as she entered the room and closed the door behind her. Immediately she locks eyes with Silveria, both women smiled.

ʼʼMorning Silveria. How is the boy?ʼʼ Leena asked while sitting on a chair offered by Silveria.

Crossing her legs, Silveria responded.

ʼʼUnconscious as you can see.ʼʼ

To Silveriaʼs words, Leena observed Alex and did not found any problems, at least not on the outside, she did not dare to do an in-depth examination as Silveriaʼs silver eyes were locked on her.

ʼʼWhy is he still unconscious?” She asked.

ʼʼThe damage he took is heavy. He is slowly healing. It will take some time. He will surely wake up after that.ʼʼ Silveria explained.

ʼʼI see. Letʼs wait and hope he will wake up before the start of the new year at the Imperial Magic Academy.ʼʼ Leena said with a sigh.

ʼʼDonʼt worry he will. Thereʼs still one month and few days.ʼʼ

ʼʼIndeed. Silveria, there is something I was meaning to ask but?”

ʼʼAsk.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhere is that monsterʼs corpse? I was too focused back then to ask.ʼʼ

Silveria had an ʼI expect this question.ʼ kind of face when she heard Leenaʼs words.

Smiling Silveria cooked a lie that even a five-year-old would not believe.

ʼʼAh? That monster is sure intelligent. The moment he felt my arrival he fled at an unthinkable speed. I was left speechless and by the time I recover he was already far away. Furious I released a little bit of my power, however, I stopped from giving a chase when I saw my masterʼs state.

His wellbeing is important than anything, therefore I decided to treat him first before later go punish the monster along with the perpetrators.ʼʼ

Rolling her eyes at Silveria who was spouting bullshit with an angelic smile, Leena thought ʼCan you be more persuasive?ʼ, shaking her head she said with a deadpan face.

ʼʼItʼs that so?”

Leena couldnʼt help but smile bitterly as she knew Silveria was lying, as for why that, only she can know. Even though she was disappointed not to be able to buy such a special monsterʼs corpse, there is nothing she could do as the otherʼs party did not seem to want to sell it.

Seeing Leenaʼs expression, Silveria could only sigh. Thereʼs no way she would say the monsterʼs body disappeared and was transformed into- Well, no need to think about it.

ʼʼExcuse me for a minute. Iʼll be right back.ʼʼ

Silveria said before disappearing leaving only Leena inside the room to look after Alex.

Approaching Alex, Leena caressed his head for a moment.

ʼʼBoy, stay strong. I know that you will come back stronger and make them pay. Donʼt worry, Iʼll help you. They must have a death wish, daring to touch someone under my protection. They never learn, donʼt they? I thought that the last one was wiser, however, it seems that Iʼm wrong or something must have happened.

Iʼve something more important why I never paid too much attention. I guess now it will change. Iʼm becoming rusty as time goes on.ʼʼ

She stopped talking for a moment before mumbling, ʼʼZero, I have a mission for you.ʼʼ

Just after Leena finished talking, a shadow materialized near her, this shadow was shrouded in darkness thus making it impossible to see its features.

Zero asked with a genderless voice.

ʼʼInformations gathering, isnʼt it?”

ʼʼIndeed. Iʼm not up to date concerning them. Go, you know what to do. Before leaving bring this to that girl. Didnʼt she think Iʼll let her go score free? I didnʼt want to do anything at the start just simply watch from the sideline however now things are different.ʼʼ

After done speaking, Leena threw a letter in Zeroʼs direction, the latter caught it before vanishing not saying anything else.

Looking at the spot where Zero vanished from, Leena could not help but chuckle while muttering.

ʼʼWhat unsociable fella. Well, only when in work mode. How interesting. Sigh! That aside, I must prepare to go back, things will become hectic once Iʼm back. Just thinking about seeing that annoying man leave me in a bad mood.

Ah! It canʼt be helped. ʼMy taking it slow lifeʼ come to an end.ʼʼ

Leena feels depressed just by thinking about a certain annoying manʼs face, he will be the first to visit him once she went back. How annoying.

While heaving another sigh Leena closed her eyes and decided to wait for Silveria to come back.
