Chapter 51: Future Plan
Chapter 51: Future Plan
Back at Red Tail, I told everyone about the attack that will happen in few months. I omitted the fact that I came from the future. But it seems like everyone believed me.
"Does it mean that you taught everyone to get stronger is so we will fight the stampede?"
Someone among the girls asked me. Of course they will be worried if that's the case.
"No. Since I owe this place, I thought of helping everyone here. I taught you all to get stronger so you can at least make a living by becoming a hunter. It's also about my previous journey to Cassau."
I told the girls about my partnership with Sam and how I got all the jewelries that I gave them. I didn't tell them about my Aura since it's not important for them at the moment. And they all believe me again. Looks like in their heart, they have all believed me wholeheartedly. Was it because of the debt or the cheesy lines?
I finished telling what happened and asked them what they will choose.
"So, I asked Sam to buy me a building big enough for all of us in Cassau. I don't know when it will be done but I wish she will get me one before the stampede. So, will you move there before the stampede or will you stay here, or maybe you have something else in your mind? I want you to think carefully and once the building is procured, you're all free to move there. Of course the kids, Daniel and Hannah, along with Hannah's mother, Penny, will move there. I don't want the kids to be here during the stampede."
"I can agree with that."
Said Penny.
"Yeah, me too."
"I think I will move as well, but let me think about it first."
Everyone already think about their decision to move or stay. As for Penny, of course she will agree and not let her daughter be inside the chaos that will happen. I heard that some already decided to move and some others still thinking about it.
"Well, it's not like you have to move there. If you don't want to, you can go to another city to be safe."
"What about you? You don't want to move yet?"
"I want to graduate first. And also thinking of a way to foil their plan to attack the city. I'm having difficulty of telling the authorities and to make them trust me. I know someone who can help me contact the authority, but to make that person trust me is another matter."
"You choose graduation over safety?"
"If it's me alone, I'm sure I can escape from whatever they're planning. My plan for the future is to graduate as soon as possible and move to Cassau after graduation. Then for about two years or so I will try to improve my strength and magic. I'm having difficulty in increasing my levels since both elements I have is quite rare. After that I will attend medical school to be a doctor."
"So? What will happen to us if we move there? Do we end up just like here becoming a hunter?"
"That's why I'm having this meeting with everyone today. For those who decided to come with me, I will consider building a clan after I raise my hunter rank."
The room turned noisy with my declaration. It's understandable.
Clan is just another group of hunters. The difference between normal hunter parties is that being in a clan, you can directly get request from someone. Normal hunter can only get request and reward from the guild.
They can however, get request from another party if they are having emergency. Like that loud girl's village. That girl might get a hunter to save her village, but that hunter's achievement won't be recorded in the guild. So if they are close to rank-up and just need one more mission, if they don't get request directly from the guild, their achievement won't be recorded and their rank won't raise. That's why most hunter would refuse a request like that.
But for a clan, we can get request directly from someone. Of course if the requests are like having to clean the sewer, or harvesting herbs, we can refuse them. That's why commoner would go to the guild directly. Only nobles or rich merchant would go directly to the clan for requests. That's why the reward are usually much higher than the same quests from the guild since the guild would take 30% from the reward.
Of course members of the clan are allowed to go to the guild as well to take requests. But the most difficult part of being a clan is to get others to trust our abilities. Also money is important as well, but with my cooperation with Sam, I won't have any money problem.
In Cassau, no… in this Kingdom, there are only about 10 clans. It's not like there are no other clans out there, but because they are unable to get people's trust and money problem, they got disbanded quickly.
Money is no problem for me, but for making other trust us… I'll work on that.
And now the girls are discussing about whether being in a clan would be better for them or not. Of course they know about many other clans who got disbanded in just few weeks so they are worried about it, but I assured them that with Sam's help, there won't be any problem. And I also told them that not everyone need to participate in mission. If they want to, they can stay in clan building and do the chores. I told them that I already have my new maid sent there to look for house together with Sam.
"Well, that's all I'm saying. Once the house is procured, you can move there. Of course before I graduate, I will visit from time to time since it's my house. Just think carefully. I hope you can make decisions before the monsters stampede happen."
Of course I will visit a lot! I don't want to make Daniel feel lonely without me. I feel like ever since I took Daniel in, I have been travelling more than playing with him. No wonder he always hate it if I leave for too long.
Then Angela, Kayla, and somehow Sophie as well, approach me.
"Why do you really want to graduate? Why not just go to school again?"
"Because I don't want to waste another year studying the same thing again. And also, school transfer is only added about ten years in the future. I want to be a doctor so I can heal people without it being a crime. Specialized school/college not for battle only allow people who has graduated already."
"Ten year in the future? You speak as if you know the future."
I looked at both Angela and Kayla before replying to Sophie.
"I'll talk about it later. You two bringing Sophie here means…"
"Yeah. Angela and I already agree to add her in our party."
"Cool. Then let's go to my room and I'll tell Sophie my secrets."
The four of us went to my room leaving the others discussing about their own future.
In my room, there are four of us… no. since I', telling Sophie my secrets there are five of us.
"Victoria. Come out."
The grappling hook on my arm changed shape into a beautiful lady.
"Blobby turned into a girl?!"
"Nice to finally meet you. I'm Victoria. Blobby's other personalities."
Well, that's a simple self-introduction. But she's not wrong.
Then we tell Sophie about the fact that I'm from the future and able to use Aura. Of course she's surprised to hear that I have a see-through vision, but she's a lot calmer than Angela and Kayla.
"Well, the first time we met, I slept next to you naked after all. So I won't mind."
"Anyway, now you know about it and what my enemies capable of. Are you sure you want to join this party?"
"Not just this party. I'll join you in your clan and I'll join you in your life. I thought a lot to day and think that I want to be with you. Forever. So let me be your girlfriend."
"Okay. Cool."
"Wait! Why are you fine with it? First, it was Kayla. Then Sophie as well. Both of you just casually asked to be Roy's girlfriends. Is that normal?"
It was Angela. Seems like for her, it has to be a mutual love with romantic event for two people to be lovers. She's still young after all. No. Everyone is young. I'm the only one whose mentality is much older than everyone here. But I never gave it too much thought of having them as my girlfriend. Sophie is older than the me right now, and Kayla is the same age. Even more, in this country, fifteen years old is already considered an adult. So it's fine, right?
"It's fine. I love Roy after all."
"Me, too."
"Me, three."
"As for me, right now I'm a monster but I love him as my master and partner. And as I saw him growing, I feel like I have a younger brother that I have to teach many things for."
I never thought Victoria feels that way about me. Well, she always been with me ever since I returned to this time. She's a good teacher with a lot of experience. Let's ignore the fact about her being a fujoshi. Sometime I feel like I heard her saying something about pairing me with other men. Just thinking about that making me shiver.
"What about you?"
It was Sophie who asked Angela.
"I don't know. I guess I'm still waiting for my fateful encounter. But I do have a good impression of Roy."
"Don't do that. You shouldn't have any good impression about him if you want to have someone else as your boyfriend. You will just end up comparing Roy with other men. Roy is one of a kind, you know?"
"I guess you're right. Anyway, congratulation for you two for being lover. Now Roy has two girlfriends. What do you two thinks of each other?"
"I can teach Sophie light element. And her lightning element if she improved it, she will have a powerful attack power."
"I can teach Kayla about nightly activities. I feel like having a new sister I can share everything with."
"Well, if you two happy about it, I won't say anything else."
Looks like they can get along just fine.
"Then how about we go take a quest tomorrow?"
"Okay, but tonight, I'll be borrowing your girlfriends and Victoria as well for sleepover in my apartment. Goodbye!"
With that, all of them left my room and leaving me alone here. Well, as long as they get along.
