Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 843 - 794: Eve of the festival

The Touchʼs family temporary villa.

Gracier could be seen playing with a bird; she would feed this bird and observe her reaction as she played with its wings when the bird was busy eating.

Suddenly, as if the bird sensed someone approaching, she flapped its wings and ran away.

Gracierʼs face darkened, she was displeased that someone disturbed her fun time, but her expression turned lively when she saw who it was.

ʼʼSaeko, welcome back.ʼʼ She said and ran toward Saeko, hugging her.

ʼʼUgh!”

ʼʼDid you just grunt?” Gracier asked.

ʼʼYesʼʼ Saeko responded before trying to separate herself from Gracier, the latter reluctantly let go.

ʼʼYou are no fun,ʼʼ Gracier mumbled.

ʼNot you too.ʼ Saeko thought this was the second time she had heard that sentence.

ʼʼLetʼs fight,ʼʼ Gracier said, trying to grab Saeko, who easily dodged her.

ʼʼSee? Itʼs why I was grunting as I knew youʼd say that. Give me a break; Iʼm tired.ʼʼ

The moment Saeko saw Gracier, she knew the latter would say something like this.

ʼʼHum! Okay. Iʼll let you rest.ʼʼ Gracier said and didnʼt pursue Saeko. She was surprised by this because usually, Gracier wouldnʼt easily let her go like this; she wondered if the little princess had matured.

However, right when she took her third step, she heard Gracier mumbling something, and she froze.

ʼʼI will go see big brother and have a chat with him.ʼʼ

ʼIʼm a fool to have expected something. She is the devil. So shameless.ʼ Saeko thought; putting on a smile, she spun and said.

ʼʼThinking about it, Iʼve just leveled up, and I need to see how strong Iʼve become.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhat a good spirit. Follow me. I have what you need.ʼʼ Gracier said before heading toward the training ground located behind the garden.

Saeko felt like crying but had no tears. She could only follow Gracier even if she didnʼt want to. It was not because she already knew the result of this fight beforehand, nor was it because she threatened her with Alex but simply because, from every defeat, she would gain something.

Looking at the two departing girls from the balcony, Alex chuckled, and Maria sitting beside him, couldnʼt help but ask.

ʼʼWonʼt you stop them?”

ʼʼAnd why would I? Itʼs just friendly spar. Even though the method used for this to happen is a little questionable. Itʼs just a friendly spar, and you know better than me that Gracier is not doing this only for fun but because she genuinely wished to help Saeko improve with her second element.ʼʼ Alex pointed out the real purpose of those sparring matches.

Today would be their tenth match, and in the previous fight, Saeko had never won. It was to be expected; while Saeko was talented, in front of a monster like Gracier, she stood no chance. Without hesitation, Gracierʼs battle instinct was even more exceptional than that of Alex; when it comes to fighting, her brain worked faster than anybody.

And about what Alex had just said, Maria could only sigh. She understood what Gracier was trying to do, just that she wished she wouldnʼt overdo it. Like most of them, Saeko could use two elements: Lightning and Fire. However, she was only proficient in one of them, the lightning element.

Gracier saw that she could become exceptional with the Fire element, and since then, she had been training her using sparring as an excuse. She would first crush her when she used her lightning element before forcing her to rely on her Fire element; slowly but surely, Saeko was becoming good at handling the Fire element.

It was said that Gracierʼs goal was to make Saeko capable of combining these two elements. The result would be something interesting worth looking forward to.

ʼʼOkay, letʼs move towards the main topic,ʼʼ Maria said after shaking her head. Gracierʼs job should be left to Gracier.

ʼʼYes, how many gold coins did we have?ʼʼ Alex asked.

ʼʼCurrently around a million.ʼʼ Maria calmly responded. It was an astronomical amount of money, yet their faces remained passive.

ʼʼI see; how many new men do we have?” Alex asked another question.

ʼʼAround eighty and with this number, the number of men we have rose to hundred.ʼʼ Maria gave a detailed report about their current force.

One hundred special elites forces, it was not a lot but considering it was the quality over the quantity, Alex was happy, but he would increase the number of this special force; however, there was something that needed to be done first.

ʼʼHave you contacted Seraʼs father, Smith?”

ʼʼYes, but he was not happy about you. He said what kind of son-in-law wonʼt visit his father-in-law and will always use the excuse of being busy. He said you must come soon because it was Seraʼs motherʼs death anniversary.ʼʼ Maria answered, and as she expected, Alexʼs face became serious when he heard the last words.

ʼʼWhen is it?”

ʼʼIn five days.ʼʼ

ʼʼOkay, itʼs doable. I will go. I was afraid it would be tomorrow because if it was, I could only apologize to Saekoʼs father, who invited us to tomorrowʼs festival. This festival will last three days. Iʼll leave right after the festival end.ʼʼ Alex made a plan after hearing Seraʼs motherʼs death anniversary would be in five days. He couldnʼt miss out on this opportunity.

At the same time, he would talk to Smith about his menʼs gears and weapons. Knowing he was the best blacksmith in the capital, he would create his menʼs weapons and gears; money was not an issue.

ʼʼTake some money to go on shopping with the others. Buy everything you want.ʼʼ Alex said as he stood up.

ʼʼAnd you?” Maria asked.

ʼʼI will look after Incursio. Who knows, maybe she might wake up.ʼʼ Alex replied.

ʼʼI see. Iʼll go see the others then. Donʼt overdo it, just rest.ʼʼ

ʼʼOk, Iʼll rest after visiting her,ʼʼ Alex promised before disappearing.

ʼʼSigh! I wish the world would always be peaceful and we have no burden. How good would it have been? Better stop thinking about something unrealistic. Time for some shopping between girls.ʼʼ Maria mumbled before disappearing.
