Scarblade Goddess

CHAPTER 69

[Blight midnight]

Afterwards, Otorine and the young Nassus came back to Ru's place safe and sound. As she glanced around the place, her eyes noticed that Miro was nowhere to be seen,

"I wonder where Miro had gone?".

Even little Nassus looked dumbstruck as well. The dazzling Ru popped out from the kitchen alongside the magical moving plush doll. In which it was carrying a hot steamy chicken pie on a steel tray. Ru made a blooming smile,

"Sorry to keep you waiting Mir—.".

Ru was dumbfounded as well. Since, Miro wasn't at his table anymore,

"Huh? Where's Miro?".

Ru shifted to look at Otorine,

"Ori, have you seen Miro? He was just sitting there a few minutes ago...".

Otorine replied unsurely,

"That I wanna know too...".

The young Nassus was feeling more and more worried for Miro's whereabouts as well. Ru crossed her arms and made a stressful look,

"Sigh, and I just told him not to go out, as there are rumors spreading...".

Otorine asked,

"What rumors?".

Ru made a few uncertain gestures,

"Something about Omega or calling was it? Although I don't know what the hell is that as well. Yet, I feel something strange is going on outside...".

Otorine agreed and crossed her arms,

"Yeah, I've noticed it as well. The hallways looked deserted and the air was different.".

Ru was convinced,

"Thought so, by the way...".

She pointed to the west,

"Go through our recently installed teleport circle and it'll transfer you two to Mai's place safely. I'm sure both of you need a shut-eye...".

As Otorine and the youthful Nassus looked westward, they saw that there was a blue magical pentagram that was rotating and glowing endlessly. Otorine bowed and thanked Ru for the convenience and hospitality,

"Thanks as always Ru...".

Both of them stepped on the magical pentagram. Sooner or later, bright starry lights were swirling and coursing around them. The next moment, they were instantly gone, as they were transferred to Mai's inn in the speed of light. As usual, Mai's inn was cozy and humble in appearance in a fantasy setting. Strange thing is, the one at the counter was Mai. Though, Otorine and little Nassus saw that Mai was in her full battle armor. Her armor was similar to the likes of the sexy and valiant armor of the said valkyries. Although, she also had bunny ears headband attached on top of her head. Otorine and the young Nassus approached Mai. Mai greeted them complacently but, her tone was fierce as ever, while her hands were holding her hips,

"Welcome Ori, I'm sure Ru already told you...".

Otorine responded,

"Yeah, by the way Mai...why are you in that get up?".

Mai looked frustrated suddenly,

"I HAVE MY REASONS OKAY! Also, Yumi's at the middle room. And we've already prepared the bedding for you four...".

Otorine was flabbergasted by Mai's weird reaction. Though, Otorine had stopped being bothered that much. Instead, she just replied normally,

"Okay...and four?".
