Chapter 40: M-Mother..?
Chapter 40: M-Mother..?
"Hmm...calming her down" Eli still patted Adria's head.
Zera's eyes twitched as well as Adria's.
"I think, it is enough" Adria said annoyed.
"Are you sure?" Eli still asked.
"If you don't take your hands now...." Adria said as she pointed at Lilith who had a dark mana seeping around from her body.
Eli then looked at Lilith's angry and darkened face, then asked, "Do you want it?" with a smile.
Lilith took a few seconds to process then nodded and jumped on him then Eli rubbed her head while laughing, she just acted a like cat.
"Hahaha...you act like a cat" Eli said while laughing.
Seeing this, Adria don't know what to say any more while Zera was shocked to the core; Rose thought it was just between husband and wife but when she glanced at Mia's teary eyes.
"Sigh, Shall we start, Adria?" Rose said as she pulled Mia to her side and tried to change the mood.
Adria shook off her thoughts and said, "You two are going to hunt each 10 from 1 Star Rank Monsters to 9 Star Rank Monsters before the sun sets" Mia and Zera nodded while Eli and Lilith were in their own world.
Adria shot a glance at Eli and then looked at Mia, "Mia, you only have to use Darkness elemental Magic and do not use the Fire Element no matter what" said firmly.
"Yes, Master" Mia said while bowed head.
"Hmm" Adria nodded and continued loudly,
"As for Zera, you have to fight with the weapon of yours only, do not use spells and....remove the protective around slowly"
"Yes, Mother" Zera replied respectfully.
"M-Mother" Suddenly a shocked voice came as they looked at the source, Eli who was patting Lilith's head froze and had a very shocked expression.
Looking at his shocked face, Adria had an amusing expression and asked, "Yes, Is there any problem?".
Hearing her voice Eli snapped out of his shock and said while shuttering, "Y-Ye- I mean No". Seeing this new reaction, Lilith laughed a little but she still hugged.
'There is no way...I mean I had my doubts too, they are almost identical, and that name Zera Adriana...I think she shortens her name as a disguise and that is....'pretty lame' compared to Lily' Eli thought as looked at both Zera and Adria.
Adria's lips twitched while Lilith tried to hide her laughter as Lilith thought, 'He is clearly thinking more than necessary'.
"sigh, What are you going to do?" Adria changed the topic, she doesn't like when she was being teased.
"Well...I am going to hunt 8-9 Star Rank Monster" Eli replied as he looked around his surroundings. They are standing near the entrance as the Fiend Forgotten Land is in front of them and behind them there is nothing but grasslands.
"Oh! I didn't expect that" Adria had a disbelieving look.
"I guess so, I mean I didn't expect you to be Mother, Little-Oh! sorry, Big Woman" Eli just said the truth in his heart with a little teasing.
"Pfftttt" Lilith covered her veil and separated from his embrace.
Rose was being treated as air while Zera and Mia had weird expressions.
Adria's eyes were bloodshot and her face turned red in embarrassment. She walked in front of him and said while controlling her anger, "Okay Big guy, Why don't we play a game?".
"Hmmm....Not interested" Eli thought about it and soon he lost his interest.
He then grabbed Lilith and walked towards the forest while saying his farewell,
"Thanks for the trip, Adria" as he walked into the forest but,
"You may lost in the woods and....don't think you hunt the Monsters along with her" Adria said carefreely.
Eli suddenly stopped and looked at Lilith and thought,
'You can easily find a way outside, right?' Eli that was the biggest problem.
Lilith was about reply but, "Don't think that she will help you" Adria spoke with a smug look on her face.
'You won't?' Eli still asked Lilith.
Adria's eyes twitched but she waited with annoyance because she know more than anyone about her King.
['Well, I can....but Monsters will run away as soon as they near me so....'] Lilith.
Lilith had a gloomy look but Eli kissed her forehead, soon happy look appeared and then Eli turned to look at Adria and said,
"I am in, so what's the game?"
Soon the annoyance turned into a dangerous smile and said, "Well, it is simple all you have to do is steal the kill from both of them" as she pointed to both Mia and Zera.
"It is interesting but, I want to hunt High Star Rank monsters though" Eli said while crossing his arms.
"Okay then, for every kill I will give 5 credits for 1-5 Star Rank monsters and 10 credits for 5-9 Star Rank monsters"
"Hmm, that's the deal I am looking for" Eli pleased expression.
"Heh, you think you can steal my kill" Zera said with amusement.
"Yes, defeating you guys is different from stealing the kill and there is no fighting between them and me, right?" Eli said flatly and asked a question.
"Yes, you have to only steal their kill and no fighting between you people" Adria said firmly.
"..."
"I see...then let's start" Zera then pulled Mia and then walked towards the forest.
"....So, you three will stand here? or...." After Zera and Mia left, Eli asked the other three.
"You don't need to worry about it" Adria said as bat and table appeared before her.
Eli's eyebrows were raised, 'She can summon a beast....'.
"This will help you find the way here and it has live video" Adria said with pride.
'When did the summoned beast turn to a camera?' Eli was surprised.
"Well....'~chu~'....I am leaving then" Eli said as he kissed Lilith's forehead and then turned to leave.
Lilith blushed lightly but she suddenly called him,
['Darling, Weapons?'] Lilith.
'Nah, It's fine I want to try something new' Eli.
['Darling, Don't hurt yourself?'] Lilith.
'I will be fine' Eli.
['Darling, Be careful...If you want I can give you the Money, so don't push yourself too much'] Lilith.
'I know, I just want to fight that's all' Eli.
With a smile, Eli entered the forest.
