Chapter 162 – Volume 4.36 Sun Island And Moon City 3
Malaya's stay in the Moon city passed in the blink of an eye and her Trinity was now completely repaired.
They were currently in the living room of Lila. Malaya excitedly checked out her new fix Trinity. She pressed the first button and it became elongated like a baton. Then she pressed the second button and finally, the grappling rope seemed to work fine again. And the third button where two blades came out at the two sides.
"It's perfectly repaired now," Malaya said as she played her Trinity more in her hands. " I noticed it's been a long time since we're together and face so many challenges, pain, and hardship but until now I'm not giving you any specific name." Malaya paused a bit to think what is the best name for her Trinity than all of a sudden she remembered something about the Gods of Norse Mythology. "Oh, God! For now, I will call you Tyr. Tyr is a God of war, law, and honor, that name fits so well to my Trinity!" Malaya said while looking at her Trinity in front of her.
"What a beautiful name, Tyr," Malaya suddenly stopped when she heard Lila, "Now that your weapons are repaired, will you leave the Moon city now?" Lila asked.
"Yes," Malaya simply said. "I think there is nothing for me left to do here. More like, it's also time for me to leave the Sun Island now."
"Leave the Sun Island?" Lila said a bit surprised. "There is no one who has ever left this place no matter what they do?"
"There is someone," Malaya said with a smile. "And I have already talked to him."
Both of them turned when they saw the door opening revealing Kayden.
"Is that Mr. Kayden?" Lila asked, her face held confusion. Kayden simply looked on their way then proceeded on the stairs to the second floor of the house.
Malaya just shrugged her shoulders then faced Lila again. "Nope not him, but to the head priest."
Lila's face lit up as if she had realized something. "Oh right," She hit her left palm with her right hand. "I almost forgot that the high priest came from outside Sun Island."
"Yes," Malaya picked up the cup of coffee that Lila prepared for her and took a sip of it. "It is as you said, I ask him if there is a way to get out of this island. And he told me that there is one. Another thing is he told me that he will send some man to fetch for us and show us personally how we will be able to get out of this island."
"Are you sure that he really said that?" Lila said in disbelief. "His excellency is truly benevolent."
"Yes, he did." Malaya took another sip of the coffee. "He is truly benevolent."
'That is very quite suspicious. But as long as he doesn't do anything strange, then there is nothing to worry about. I hope it will stay the same and turn into our favor.'
In just a minute the sounds of bells rang all of the sudden. The sounds of the doorbell of Lila's mansion began to echo throughout the whole place.
Lila suddenly stood up. "Oh, are the men of his excellency already here to fetch us?"
"Hmm…" Malaya looked also in the direction of the main door of the house. "No, that can't be, the head priest said that he will send us some letter of notice that he had already first before he sent his man. Perhaps it's some unexpected visitor you have, Lila?"
"Then if that's the case, I'll go check to see who it is," Lila said as she started heading out.
'Weird since I don't have anyone to get visit me' Lila thought
"Alright, go on," Malaya said as she nonchalantly drank more of the coffee.
—⚓⚓⚓—
Moments later, the door to the living room opened once again.
"Malaya, the people…" Lila wasn't able to finish her sentence when Malaya saw the familiar orange hair of a person behind her.
"Wait, Oliver?" Malaya was startled as she suddenly stood up from her seat. They look at each other directly in the eyes.
"So you're really here, Malaya," Oliver said with his usual sly grin. But he was not alone, behind him was another man that was familiar to Malaya.
"Sir Kayden!" Maru excitedly called out and all of them turned towards Kayden who was descending down the stairs while waving both hands for him to notice.
"So it only means that you guys really know each other! I think I have another important unexpected visitor for this day." Lila said excitedly. "Hmm then please take a seat and I will prepare something for all of you. Please, feel comfortable at my home and just tell me what you want to drink first coffee or tea? It seems you have lots to talk about."
"I will prefer tea, please," Oliver said.
"Maru also prefers that."
"Oh! Then two teas. Alright!" Lila immediately disappeared to the kitchen to prepare some food. And Oliver already casually took a seat on one of the chairs. Maru also took a seat while Kayden just disappeared with his magic. It seemed he was not that much interested in the two people who arrived.
Malaya just remained in her seat opposite the side of Oliver. Now, they were face to face with each other.
"So, let's start, tell me what you may bring here and tell me first how did you find this place?" Malaya asked without beating around the bush. "Ah, wait if it's you, you should find a way one way or another."
"How cold of you, Malaya," Oliver said. "Is that how you treat your friend, who even fixed all the mess you left in the village? Or maybe that's how you naturally say thank you to your friend?"
"Well, first and foremost. Who said we are friends? I don't remember anything that we made that decision. Secondly, whatever happened to the village is not really my fault but their own fault. If they do not try to play dirty-handed tricks on me, I'll just go on peacefully following the errand you ask me to do." Malaya nonchalantly said.
"Alright." Oliver simply chuckled. "It's not like when it comes to an argument I am never going to win against you. But you don't need to worry since I cleaned and fixed your name on that island. By the way, this is the person who leads me here," Oliver gestured to Maru.
'I'm not worried, I'm irritated about everything.' Malaya thought and decided not to say it out loud.
"Yes, yes, yes," Maru nodded his head while putting a large smile on his face." Maru leads Master Oliver to this place." He said with enthusiasm.
"And aside from that finding you was not really that hard" Oliver paused a bit and stared at Malaya, "since you have this unique appearance. There is no way the city guard does not notice you."
"Is that a compliment? Well, thanks." Malaya said with a bit of a sarcastic voice." The city was quite enchanting, right?" Malaya tried to shift the conversation.
"And speaking of it, to see such a city in this place that has this plenty of skyscraper, is surely unique, It reminded me of the dream I saw about you, Malaya."
Malaya maintained her calm smile. 'The dream that Oliver was talking about was definitely the past life he witnessed during the time he was in space with the Great Dragon Spirit of Fire. What is he trying to say by mentioning this to me? As expected, just his mere presence is always screaming trouble for me.'
"Malaya, I won't beat what I want any further. I know some way you already found a way to leave this island in this city. I know you very well now, Malaya. If you don't find a way, it is pretty sure you create a way for you to leave this city. Your brain will always provide you with the right source. Let me come with you and the dream will just stay a dream." Oliver said, looking directly at Malaya's eyes. He looks more serious now than before and the energy between them became intense.
'This sly bastard. Did I have any choice? If I don't let him come with me then he will expose my secrets. Hah, seriously.' Malaya clasped both her hands and she smiled as well. 'How troublesome. But I still have the upper hand right now.'
"I see, Very well, Oliver. It seems that in just a very short time you can easily read my behavior, huh. I will let you come with me. But in one condition." Malaya paused as he looked at Oliver's unchanging expression. "There's something that comes out in my head, let's make a contract under the goddess Lumiera's name."
This time Malaya grinned when she saw that Oliver's smile faltered but was able to fix it fast.
"You of all people must understand, how to not trust mere words, right?" Malaya added with a sly grin on her face. 'It's time to bury the worry of my secret being exposed by him through this chance.. What a perfect opportunity this is.'
