The Second Incarnation of the God of Creation

A fated confrontation?

The scene shifted back to the kingdom of Albanian.

Two days had already passed since we had our first guild quest. I can still remember the fuss that had ensued when the receptionist heard the details regarding the mysterious unknown cave where the goblins lurk.

The look on the receptionist face when she heard we had defeated the hobgoblin was quite amusing to witness.

Furthermore, there was to be a thorough investigation regarding the incident.

In addition, considering the increased difficulty of the quest we had received a bonus for completing the quest.

Now inside the inn we were lounging in, I along with Nikita were now relaxing while having tea.

"This black tea is really delicious."

I said as I took a sip of the tea brewed by Nikita. Honestly, I'm surprised how skilled she is at making tea, or should I say as expected of the "Ice princess." I thought so while smiling to myself.

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it."

Nikita responded as her cheeks were dyed with a faint blush. Her two fluffy fox ears stood up, while her nine fluffy silver fox tails swayed gently behind her back.

How cute... I couldn't help but think that to myself. With all the craziness happening lately I'm glad I can enjoy moments like these. Though I sighed as I thought perhaps it might get a little noisy in the distant future.

It was said that moment of peace is only preparation for disturbance. I only wish that "Disturbance" Won't be coming anytime soon.

With that being said I shifted my gazed towards the terrace, sitting on the rail with her slender legs hanging in the air was a young girl with long waist length silky green hair.

The woman whose beauty could easily take one's breath away with a single glance, the spirit of wind, Alya was sitting there.

I furrowed my brow into a frown as I saw her expression, her beautiful face currently had a frown as she stared into the distant with a serious face.

Through our connection I could also feel her apprehensions, as though the worst was yet to come. This feeling only made me feel a bit perplexed. However...

Despite our connection I couldn't quite tell what she was thinking as she narrowed her emerald, green eyes.

Just as I was about to say something, someone else beat me to the punch.

"Hey, Alya is something wrong?"

Nikita inquired, curiously. It seems she could also sense something was wrong as she looked at Alya's anxious face.

"Hm?"

Upon hearing Nikita calling out to her Alya snapped out of her dazed state and jump down from the rail with a cute hop.

A sweet fragrance filled my nose as she walked closer to us and spoke.

"... Wrong? Something is definitely wrong. However, it is none of our concerns... not yet at least."

Alya replied, shrugging her shoulders. My face twitch from her casual response. Not yet, doesn't that mean it will be our concern eventually? I sighed internally as I asked.

"Can you tell me what exactly is wrong?"

Alya became silent for a few seconds before she opened her mouth.

"... There seem to be a war going on a few kilometres from here, I can sense the mana is really restless in the atmosphere."

"..." The room became silent after hearing Alya's words. War, my face tensed when I heard that. Why was there a war going on? I remember hearing back in Watanabe that the surrounding kingdoms were at peace so why now?
