Chapter 172 – Volume 5.1 Last Preparations

'There was something even back on Earth that was the same in this world of Illahayah. Mistakes, everyone continued to make mistakes. While some didn't know how to fix it, there were some who were trying their best to move past it and looked for any way to fix those mistakes no matter what.

But whether one knew or not, that their mistake was fixed. I don't really know how one would be to know that.'

"Malaya, this was the map drawn by Luiz." Malaya glanced at Iris who was coming on her way without any energy. "Arghh, my head still hurts," Iris said as she clutched her head." That wine was on fire! I Couldn't even see everything clearly, there was still blurred vision"Iris closes and opens her eyes.

"You should try drinking moderately," Malaya said as she received the map Iris had given to her. " You must rest more and thanks for this" 

" Yeah! I think I really need some rest and no problem besides I just do it when there is a celebration so I take advantage of it. Come on, it was so fun being young, why are you so serious though?" Iris said as she leaned on the table. "And last night was such a feast. How can I not enjoy that, when these past six months, there was nothing but work to look at. I deserve this and I call it self love" Iris chuckled and blink her right eyes.

"Yeah, then I'm glad to hear you have some good time," Malaya said as she spread the map. " I'm not serious, I'm just thinking about the long term and I will not fall into a short term pleasure."

" Yeah whatever and I don't need your compliments," Iris said. "So when are we going to leave this place?"

"Tomorrow." Malaya simply replied.

"Are you sure about that?" Iris raised a brow.

"Yes, Rein and Rhyme had already prepared every necessity we will be needing. And besides for all four years, I have been preparing for this trip." Malaya said with a smile. She glanced at the map where there were the red broken lines, surrounding the whole continent of Heliyas. She traced her fingers on it. "So many things have already happened that hinder me from reaching this goal. I really don't have the time to waste anymore. And I think I'm now ready, ready to thrive and prove that I can make the impossible possible. "

"Well  I love the courage of yours," Iris said. "But you said you have talked to someone calling them the champion of gods? Do you perhaps ask them if they have been outside the Red Current?"

"I don't really have the time to ask him that," Malaya said. 

"Then what about the mysterious entity backing you?" Iris asked.

Malaya glanced at the silver bracelet on her left wrist. "Until now I still haven't made contact with them. They are just appearing out of nowhere and that is out of my control." 

"Hah," Iris let out a sigh. "So if that is the case I think that only the old man's information is what we can hold on to."

"Well, if we succeed, we will create history in this world." Malaya chuckled as she closed her map. "And you must probably know all the history of voyage even on Earth ended up with a lot of tragedy because of their lack of knowledge of the unknown. But that's what makes their voyage inspiring and sets incredible milestones in the world."

Iris made a horrible expression as she looked at Malaya. "Then does it mean we can end up in tragedy as well?"

"Hahaha, well there is nothing to worry about that because I have my preparations. But that depends on our luck as well." Malaya said as she walked out of her cottage. "I'm gonna help with the last preparations."

Iris just shook her head, as she looked at Malaya's retreating back. "Hah, don't worry? Luck?"

"That is really a very irresponsible thinking captain!" Iris yelled out as she followed Malaya. 

And Malaya simply laughed it off.

The rest of the day, Rein together with Rhyme made a final check on the ship's conditions. The girls were checking the supplies. After checking that everything was already alright, Malaya, Iris, and the rest of the group discussed the measures they were all going to make in the entire trip.

The time quickly passed by and the next day had finally come.

From the port, Malaya and the rest of the group were giving their farewells to the old man, Luiz, Lorn, and Lila who was in tears and didn't want to let go of Malaya and Hyun Jae.

"Will you come back here?" Lila said while moving some tears in her eyes using both hands.

"Yes, we are," Malaya simply responded.

"Promise?"

"Promise"

"My my, that is quite troublesome." Iris patted Malaya's back. "I'll head now inside the Bituins." She said as she climbed the ramp.

Malaya leaned down to match Lila's height. She patted her head.

"Do you really have to go, big sis Malaya, big sis Hyun Jae?" She said in tears as she looked at the two.

"Lila…" Malaya stopped her words when Hyun Jae spoke first to her.

"That's the thing we needed to do, Lila." Hyun Jae said as she matched the little girl's height as well."

"But… I don't want to you leave," 

Both Malaya and Hyun Jae looked at each other then smiled at each other with helplessness.

"Lila, I have a secret to tell you. Can you keep it to yourself?" Hyun Jae whispered.

" Yes, what is it?" Lila said but before Hyun Jae responded they made pinky promise first.

  "The truth is I actually don't belong to this world. Please promise me to not tell that to everyone."

Lila's eyes widened and at the same time confused. Hyun Jae reached for her right hand then placed a green bracelet. "I will come back to check if you kept that promise. We made a pinky promise, remember?"

Lila nodded her head. "I will. So if you don't come back, I will tell that to everyone." She said as she wiped her tears. Though she didn't quite understand what Hyun Jae's secrets were all about. Then she turned to Malaya. "You too big sis, Malaya. If you don't come back, I will tell big sis Hyun Jae's secret to everyone."

'What an adorable threat. Though everyone knows that Hyun Jae was summoned in the world.' Malaya glanced back at Hyun Jae and gave her a knowing smile. 

"If that is so, I don't have any choice but I better have to come back," Malaya said with a smile as she patted the head of Lila.

The little girl turned towards the other Lila who was standing a meter away from them.

"Big sis Lila!" The adult Lila was surprised to be called by the little girl. The little girl ran towards her. "Please have this!"

"This," the adult Lila looked at the purple stone that the little girl placed in her hands. 

"It's my lucky stone. Since we have the first name, it is more special to me. This will make us connected to each other wherever we are. I'm really glad to meet you, big sis Lila!" The little girl gestured to her to lower her head and the adult Lila was surprised that the little girl kissed her cheeks. "I hope to see you too, big sis Lila."

"Aw, you are so sweet! Yes! I will treasure this beautiful stone and we promise that we will come back." Big Lila smiled.

Malaya and Hyun Jae and the rest of the people around enjoy the scene. With that, everyone was finally settled and the Bituins started departing from the port.

Malaya and the others watched as Lila waved to them with enthusiasm as the Bituins started to set sail. When they longer couldn't see them, Malaya looked at the vast sea ahead of them. "I'm finally heading there."

"The Red Current."
