WHAT?
2065 Words
“Miss Ferni, guys…the reason I asked of you to come here is to listen to Reme. This deals with the sake of the world.”
“Then Rylai”, Ferni slightly raised her voice. “What if they’ll betray us in the end?”
“They won’t. I’m pretty sure of it. Licht is the proof of it. Licht, if it’s okay…could you…?”
“Ah, yes. I guess I need you guys to see this.”
She revealed her chest by unbuttoning her clothes and displayed a crystal clear blue crystal.
Yeah, yeah…she got big melons. I don’t care. We’re talking about the crystal embedded in her chest, not that. And it’s not like she’s literally displaying it! It’s just her chest! Not the breasts! Don’t be horny, you lot! What’s been exposed is just near her collarbones.
I looked at the men’s reaction to it.
Out of all of them, two are watching like it’s some kind of a show. Dang, Reme. I’ll tell our parents later.
Perhaps detecting my death glare, he flinched at quickly turns his gaze to my direction and see my eyes squinting. He shook his head while putting his hands like some criminal getting called and was asked to put his hands on the air.
Well, the other one is…
“Oh, wow! This one is a HUGE scoop!”
I know you’re free-spirited as always, Sen.
Nexus immediately knew what’s happening and covered Licht’s exposed chest (I REPEAT, CHEST. SHE DIDN’T EXPOSE HER BREASTS). Wait why am I explaining things?
I noticed it earlier when I spotted her in the darkness. As soon as we took our lift-off, I looked down below and saw her chest faintly glowing.
It’s glowing faintly, yes. I could see that.
However, it’s not red.
It’s blue.
I initially wondered why so my curiosity got ahead of me and I used [Soul Read] on the crystal. It’s my utmost happiness to see it in that state.
My efforts weren’t in vain.
“As what you guys saw earlier, her crystal became like that.”
“Huh? What happened for her crystal to change color?” asked Sven whose curiosity level is just the same as mine when I first saw it.
“Don’t tell me”, Miss Ferni slightly tilted her head and wondered. “The Fallen crystals could be converted into those?”
“I think we could. But it’s not that simple”, Nexus said after he cleared his throat. “You need to be at the same tier as that lovely lady over there and defeat the Guardian of the Fallen Blood Curse.”
“Huh? Isn’t that the same name as that Glitch that devoured the Cerberus, right?” Ferni asked.
“Yes. In reality, it’s the monster dwelling inside Licht. However, for some reason, it managed to escape the crystal and wreaked havoc in the city.”
The room became silent but was overlapped by a cheery tone coming from Sen.
“I’m not used to complicated stuff, but Rylai, how did you manage to enter the queen’s red crystal?”
“That part is what I’m confused about as well. I fought against another Fallen who made the other major city of this country a den for his evil schemes. I managed to fend him off but Licht was heavily infected by his [Corruption]. Then, the next thing I knew, I enchanted something, and there, I entered the crystal.”
“That’s…”
“So that means we’re still stuck as to how to enter the crystal and change it to blue from red.”
“But, then…”
They started making a meeting here. Licht couldn’t help but laugh.
“So, Ferni, is it? Is it safe to assume that you are the leader of this group?”
“Yes. My name is Ferni Valkyrie, Your Majesty.”
“Then I’ll be the representative of the Fallen in here. Say, Ferni…would you allow us to have Rylai’s help in fixing ourselves before facing the Lost Order?”
“What do you mean by that? Rylai isn’t a tool—”
“That much I know. Of course, I’ll be giving her the proper accommodations here in the castle.”
Oh, that’s one astonishing offer. However, that is not the reason why I befriended Licht. It’s her kindness, that despite the odds and the Fallen Blood Crystal’s effect, she’s still kind to her people.
“Miss Ferni, I’ll accept her offer.”
“Huh? Are you serious?”
“Yes. The reason why is that crystal of hers. Here take a look.”
Now, my [Soul Read] got itself a new function, and it’s nice to show them what changes have been brought by the existence of the blue crystal.
I snapped my fingers and a screen-like illusion has been cast, letting them know, especially Licht, of her stats.

“This is…!”
“Oh my…”
The people present in the room reacted like that. But others seem to be exaggerating.
“Now, that’s my little sister! You broke the curse! I’m so proud of you!” Reme said as he pats my head.
Hmm? What’s with that gaze, Sven?
And there’s one that appreciated my efforts.
“I am certain that a thousand gifts are not enough to show my utmost gratitude”, Licht said with tears falling from her eyes.
Well, at least I survived.
“Ah, yes Rylai…”
"Yes?"
"Could you show us yours?"
"May I know the reason why Miss Ferni?"
"I just want to see your progress."
I don't mind having my stats be shown at them. I showed them my stats and they were shocked.
Yeah, I know that direction.
Even I hated the absence of the leveling concept. I missed those days.
