Chereads / Successor of The Sacred Magic / Chapter 10 - Mission

Chapter 10 - Mission

"Hm? You want to go to a mission?" Zeolite ask Celine who approaches him, "Yes, if you mind can you accompany me?" Celine ask a little nervous to get rejected by him. "Of course, I don't want to deal with these morons now. Have you picked one?" Zeolite ask closing his book, "Mhm! How's this?" Celine said giving him the mission she picks, "Cherry town? That's pretty far…defeating a beast in the mountain…" Zeolite mumble, he put down the mission paper, "Is it okay? If not, let me get another one." Celine said just about to turn around, "sure, two days without seeing them is enough for my brain to relax." Zeolite nod, standing up.

"Let's go." Zeolite said walking out the guild, Celine followed shortly. Zeolite then tells her to follow him, he goes to a nearby blacksmith. "What are we doing here?" Celine ask looking around at the various weapons. "You said you can use dagger well. I'm buying you a prize that's all." Zeolite said keeping his gaze straight, "But you don't have too!" Celine said don't want to give him trouble. Then a buff middle-aged man comes out from his workplace.

"Zeolite! What do you need?" The buff man greeted cheerfully, "Dagger. Think of something comfortable for her." Zeolite said referring to Celine, "Hohoho! Who is this young girl? It's rare for you to bring someone!" He said looking at Celine, "H-Hello." Celine smile, "She's a new guild member. Can you make it quick, Mr. Ken?" Zeolite ask tapping his foot. "Alright, alright! Let me got to work now!" Mr. Ken laugh before going back to his work place.

"Have you eat breakfast?" Zeolite ask, "I have, Theresa cooking is very delicious." Celine smile remembering the taste of Theresa cooking. "Don't ever let Ashley cook." Zeolite warns, "Why?" Celine ask tilting her head, "she can burn the whole kitchen." Zeolite said remembering the time Ashley cook, and then the kitchen burns.

"Well, she's still laying on beds." Celine giggles, "That lazy bum." Zeolite sigh, "But. She's a very positive girl." He smiles a little. "Well, she can't cook, but I can see that she have a big heart. And you seem to admire her much." Celine smile. "Right. You sees through my eyes, huh?" Zeolite said crossing his arms, "Eh? What was that supposed to mean?" Celine ask clueless, "nope, nevermind. Forget what I say." Zeolite said shaking his head.

The two had more talk with each other, until Mr. Ken is done.

"I'm done! What to check it out?" Mr. Ken said holding a dagger in his hands, "Try." Zeolite said to Celine, "ah, right." Celine said. The dagger blade is slightly curved, the handle has a comfortable material, the sheath have very beautiful design in it. A very difficult one.

Celine stares at it in awe, and swings it to test it. "This is…wonderful!" she said happily. "I'm glad you like it!" Mr. Ken said relief, "good. What's the price?" Zeolite ask, "it's on the house." Mr. Ken said, "why?" Zeolite ask, "You said she's a new member? Exclusive for new members!" Mr. Ken laughs, "Hmph, sure." Zeolite said nodding his head. "Is it really okay sir?" Celine ask, since she can't just have that beautifully designed dagger. "Yes!" Mr. Ken nod.

"Then we'll be going." Zeolite said waving his arms a little, "Alright! Be safe!" Mr. Ken said waving back, "Thank you for the service sir!" Celine said bowing.

"He's so kind." Celine said when they got to the train station. "Yes, he is." Zeolite said, he then speak with the lady in the ticket counter, "Two tickets please." Celine can hear Zeolite speak with the lady. "Let's go. The train already here." Zeolite said waving the tickets, "oh, right." Celine nod.

"Where is Zeolite and Celine?" Theresa ask noticing them missing. "Oh they went outside." Makseun said who handed drinks to the other guild member, "Where are they going?" Ashley ask curious, "Dunno." Makseun shrugs, "Welp, just wait until they're back." Hector said poking Arkus back, "What?" Arkus ask irritated, since he's being disturb when eating. "Nothing." Hector reply.

"I heard Zero returned." Theresa said, playing with her hair, "Is he?" Hector ask a little bit surprised, "but I don't see him anywhere." He said looking around, "well, he left once again." Master Fang interrupts, walking towards them. "Man, when does he really returned." Hector groan putting his head on the counter. "That man is mysterious." Ashley scoffs.

"Master, we're going on a mission." Akane said approaching Master Fang, "yes, be safe." Master Fang smile, "Got it." Akane said giving him a thumbs-up, she and her team then go outside, we can hear the bickering Senov and Senjou do "What are you doing? Get away!" Senov said irritated, "I just want to see what's your doing." Senjou pout looking at his notebook, "you'll be bored looking at all of these calculating!" Senov said shoving his notebook into his pockets, "alright." Senjou said, since she can't handle the things Senov mentioned.

Zeolite Pov

"Zeolite? Can I ask something?" Celine ask, "what?" I ask looking up from my book, "what is your magic?" She ask, "I rarely use my magic. I always use my sword or custom spells." I said, since I don't really like using my magic. "I see. Sorry if I ask a sensitive topic." Celine said apologizing, "it's okay." I said closing my eyes.

I hear a grumble, "you hungry?" I ask opening one of my eyes, "Y-Yes…" She said embarrassed, "Sure, what do you want?" I ask, "Anything is fine with me." She said, "Then, pancakes?" I ask looking at the menu, "sure." She nod. "drinks?" I ask, "water is fine." She replies.

"Sir!" I called the butler, "yes?" he ask approaching us, "give us two pancakes, water, and a coffee. Thank you." I said, the butler nod, "I'll be right back with your orders." He said before walking away. "Thank you for being so kind!" Celine smile, it struck me when I see her smile, it's similar to my sister…sadly. I've never seen her ever again after we were forced to separate.

"Ah, right. No problem." I said snapping back into reality. "Are you okay?" she ask concerned, "I am." I said before staring outside.
