Chapter 23 - A Quick Tour for Clarity

While Clarity is checking up her two familiars for injuries, Elathan on the other hand went to a nearby tree to sit on it's roots and watched her.

Watching her taking care of this two powerful existence like they were kids, makes him want to laugh at her stupidity. She might be stronger than me but not at the mind department.

Clarity felt the look of ridicule from Elathan, but didn't bother about it, and focus on taking care of her familiars.

Inside the magic tower. Alvin and Elisabeth was busy debating about Mana and Elements. "Sir Alvin! how dare you mock us Elementalist!" Elisabeth stood up and pointed at him. Alvin was shocked at her sudden outburst but calmly answered. "i wasn't mocking at your job as an Elementalist, but i was looking down at your low level control of the Elements! look at the difference between you and Meng Bao, He is a KID with little understanding with the Elementalist Job, but he could even do things YOU couldn't! You even have a mentor"

Surprised by Alvin's words, Elisabeth immediately sit back on the chair to contemplate.

"Oh! Sir Alvin and Ms. Elisabeth, You guys are here! would you guys mind and if you give Ms. Clarity a tour around the new Settlement and introduced her to the new Settlers? The others are busy and i have to clean up this tower so there's no one to help her tour around" Meng Hua asked calmly.

Alvin and Elisabeth looked at Meng Hua, thinking how she can maintain her calm with the King's Supervisor and a Princess infront of her.

Elisabeth already noticed her when she cam to this camp before, and was surprised by her calmness. So she asked Emily about her but she was only answered by 'i don't know', Emily also said her background was lowly and there's no need to bother but Elisabeth can't help to think that there's something off with Meng Hua but she couldn't point it out.

"Yeah, sure I don't mind. But i don't know if it's okay with Ms. Elisabeth here?" Alvin said and looked at Elisabeth.

"Hm, i don't have stuffs to do anyway so im okay with it" she answered then started walking to the doors. not being able to say her gratitude, Meng Hao could only looked at her back then nodded her head at Alvin.

Soon, Alvin and Elisabeth met up with Clarity in the training field. "Nice seeing you again, Clarity!" Alvin greeted and Elisabeth nodded to greet her.

"Thanks, so are you guys the one whose going to give me a tour around the settlement?" Clarity asked while carrying kuma and poppy on their cute form. Elathan on the side was ashamed by the two's form and could only cover his eyes in shame.

"Yeah, The others are quite busy and both me and Elisabeth were the only ones free. So yeah, here we are" Alvin explained then took kuma from Clarity to lessen her burden.

...

while giving Clarity a tour around the new settlement and telling her that the layout was the same as she planned, Elisabeth suddenly asked "Why is the layout looks like a magic circle?".

Alvin and Clarity stopped on their tracks, "Well, Like i said. i am a Traveler meaning, i traveled to other worlds and had the chance to learn some of their knowledge. This is one of them and it's called a Large Scale Barrier and it's use says on its name. i did this because the Protection given by the Goddess of Hope isn't permanent, and base on the time limit given by the goddess there's only 15 day's left at most" Clarity explained and gestured Alvin to continue the tour.

hearing her explanation Elisabeth was surprised with Clarity's plans, and did not regret joining clarity's settlement then followed suit.

...

The quick tour was quite a refreshing sight for clarity, because everything looks different now compared to before. She even met the other dwarves in the Blacksmith Shop and was surprised see how the place looks, but what surprised her the most is how the way they named the center area on her layout is. They call Clarity's magic tower area as the plaza.

when the quick tour is about to end, Clarity met the Two Orcs on the way greeted them. The two was their main manpower and was the reason why they have a road now. unfortunately, Clarity didn't have the time to ask their name before they walked away. Alvin saw her look at the two and said "You'll know them some other time, besides your the one leading this settlement so you'll have the chance." he explained and immediately run away from them.

Clarity on the side was left behind was stunned by how fast Alvin leave them. "what an ungentleman! how could he just left two beautiful ladies on their own?!" Clarity grumbled and went back to the magic tower followed by Elisabeth.

...

once Clarity entered the tower, she was astonished when she saw the Settlers giving her a surprise welcome party. "you guys didn't have to do this you know, im okay with just a simple greeting like "welcome back" Thank You though i appreciate it" Clarity said.

Theo gestured her to come and said "Come here then! the food will get cold if you just stand there". Elisabeth took her hands and went to the table with foods and gestured her to try some of the cupcakes.

Emily appeared on her side then said "Ms. Elisabeth here baked these cupcakes, when you didn't notice her escape from your sight." Elisabeth blushed with embarrassment.

"Well, It's a thank you gift from me. so no need to be surprised" She said and escaped. Clarity and Emily laughed seeing her run away.

"This kind of nice, this feels so real it makes me want to stay here... " Clarity murmured then took a bite on the cupcake.

"What?!" Emily asked

"Nothing, it's nothing" Clarity replied. Emily was confused by her reply but didn't think about it, and went to her husband.
