After I clear the misunderstanding in jade, She's showing a face of relief. She really hates to separate from me, isn't she? The four of us then talked about my future. They asked me what I want to do after register in the guild. And ask me about my plan for the future. Jade, Rudy, and Arsya want to know are they can be of any help for me in the future. They want to inform it of the village too. The three of them are like my bodyguard, who will always report anything to their parent (village) if something happens. They are making me looks like a child, I really can't understand them…
"So in the future, you will be going to the Atlantis continent?"
Asked, rudy.
I already told him about my plan. My plan is to go to the Abyss Continent while before I go to that place, I must become an SS rank Adventure to obtain permission from the nation around the world. To become SS Rank Adventure it's not easy, I must clear about… 150 missions and I must have been vouch by at least 10 countries in the world so that I can be promoted to SS Rank. In the Atlantis Continent, I have some suspicion about their naming sense. to come to that place is my other goal while I journey to the abyss continent.
"Yes, I'm interested in their naming sense"
Answer me.
"in their naming sense?"
This time it was Arsya who asked me.
"The three of you already been told by the elder, right? About the name of 13 representatives and the continent itself?"
I asked them to confirm that the elder already told them about the circumstance about me and their naming sense.
The three of them nodding, It means the three of them are already been told by the elder. I explain the reason to them.
"For me, the name of Atlantis and the name of their 13 representatives are weird. Why? because I know about that name. That name is already been told since 5000 years ago, no, is longer than 5000 years ago. The name of Atlantis itself is taken from the lost empire that Plato stated. If the civilization is near extinct 5000 years ago, then there's no way they know about this name, unless if someone found out their historical heritage and publish it. Then for some reason, that name is back in this era. Moreover, that name is used as the continent name. they changed the name of Esther Continent into Atlantis continent. If it only the continent name that change, maybe I will assume that they found out the historical heritage of Atlantis and try to imitate it. But they don't only change their continent name, their leader or what we call representative, are change their name too. That 13 name, is the name of an old god in my time. And that name is not related to the Atlantis that I know. If that so, then, from where they have hard that name? Why they changed the name of their continent? And why is it that name?"
While I explain it, the three of them look at me with a serious glance. They're trying so hard to understand what I explain to them. They didn't know how's the world 5000 years ago, they can only imagine it, that's why they are trying so hard to understand what I said. From what I see, Rudy and Arsya somehow already get a grasp of what I want to say to them, meanwhile… Jade can't understand a thing. Even though she put a serious face, I bet in her head she can't understand what I said. If Rudy and Arsya trying so hard to understand, then if it jade… she is 'desperately want' to understand what I said…
I continued my explanation since this explanation is for Rudy and Arsya. In the first place, I don't ever expect jade to try to understand my explanation.
"There are so many questions that I want to ask them. I only can hope, when we arrive there we will meet one of them, so I can ask about all of their reason for the naming."
My explanation is finished.
If the two of them didn't understand, then it's okay. It means this conversation is just for me to put out what's on my mind, At least, I already lesser the burden on my mind by telling them about what I think. Then the unexpected thing happens...
"Len, somehow I can't comprehend thing what you want to say, but from what I understand is, do you suspicious about the 13 representatives that you mention? You assume that they are someone from 5000 years ago like you? Right?"
'Holy shit.'
surprised me.
The one who asks is… Jade. For a second, Just for a second, my face froze up from the surprise. How can I not surprised? The one who asks is jade, someone who I assume didn't understand my explanation. But she pinpointed out what I want to say to the two of them. The hell is 'I can't comprehend thing', you already understand what I want to say…
"u…umm, y-yes, you're right."
I tried to hide my surprised face. My composure just lost for a second. It will be rude to jade if she saw it. Maybe I must change my impression of her…
"hey len, is it me, or are you right now thinking something rude?"
Jade realized, that all this time when I explaining I've been underestimating her. I feel bad for her. But for now, I will lie to her, to avoid the danger.
"no, there's no way. Let's get back to the topic"
My composure is back.
'I'm sorry jade. I will re: evaluate my impression for you later. Now back to the two of them…'
When I turn my eyes to Rudy and Arsya, I see the two of them try hard to hold back their laughter. The two of them close their mouth with their hand while they turn away their face in another direction.
"pfftttt"
I can hear the two of them bite their lips to hold back their laughter.
'so the two of them realized too, huh?'
That was what I thought.
It looks like the two of them are realized that I underestimate jade before. They're laughing because he looked at my face when jade ask. And I try evade jade question so that jade will not angry or complain. Jade really looks displeased with the two of them who try to hold their laugh. Strangely she didn't look that displeased to me. I wonder if it because I'm her master so that she didn't mind it?
"ehhemmm"
I faked the cough. I tried to break this situation. More longer than this I believe jade will sulk and sent a tantrum to the two of them. Rudy and Arsya then stop their laughing and back to their composure just like that. To be honest, I too, tried to hold back my laughter but because I'm the main culprit of why this situation happens, I tried my best to hold it.
"ehemm, sorry about that. I just spill my tea a bit"
Rudy trying to find the excuse.
"oh dear, what a clumsy one you're"
Said arsya.
What with that's charade? seriously? Please stop it. It only makes jade more displeased. I didn't brave enough to look at jade's face right now. I just hope that she will forgive me for this incident.
I can only hear jade made a "humphhh" sound beside me.
"ok, enough already. back to the main topic. More or less I can understand what you want to say. My thought is the same as jade before. I assume you're implying that the 13 of the representative is someone who comes at the same time just like you right?"
Rudy finally back to his composure. He too same like jade, he understands what I want to say.
"yes, that was what I believe."
I answered it with confidence.
"I see, then maybe they have some clue about your meditation right? Or maybe they know about you? Is that what you think?"
"yes"
He really understands my reasoning to explain all of that. Rudy is just like what jade said, He is really smart.
"if that so, I must tell it to the elder. Are the elder already know about this?"
"No, I didn't tell them. At that time I just feel didn't like to open myself. But after hearing the trust that the vega villagers have in me… it makes me feel bad that I didn't open myself. Thus I decided to open myself so that there's no gap between us."
For these three months, I didn't even tell them the reason. I just tell them about the dream. Even when I told them about the dream, In my mind I still didn't fully believe in them. I just gambled it, that, maybe I can be released if I say about my dream. After I know that all the villagers had more or less same dream like me, meeting with that 'girl'. it makes me feel bad that I didn't believe in them, who believe in me. they're believing in what that 'girl' said just like that. As for me, I can't even trust them fully. And by telling them all of this then this is my first step to believe them. Just like they believe in me.
"that's good. Thank you for trying to believe in us, my lord"
Jade, Arsya, and Rudy the three of them then stand up from their chair and bowing to me. they're returning the respect that I gave to them. He cast aside the formality and call me with honor. Seeing them bowing to me.. believing in me.. and respecting me, made me want to evaluate myself. It made me realized how immature I'm. the three of them then back to their chair.
I want to stop them from bowing to me, but I hold it back. For now, I want what they believe for these 10 years is rewarded.
Before the three of them sit back on their chair, suddenly Arsya made a huge sound of surprise.
"Now I remember It, the 13 representative names!"
Jade, I, And Rudy, the three of us surprised heard Arsya made a huge sound. It looks like she remembering something.
"what's wrong my dear?"
Rudy asked Arsya.
"I remember something"
She then looked at me.
"One of the 13 representatives have once come to our village"
When I heard that one of the 13 representatives have come to our village, it make me surprised. I then ask Arsya about the detail
"they have? What they look like? And is there anything strange from them? Who is the one who comes to our village? The name?"
Finally, I have some clue about them. Maybe the village has more clue. If only I open myself when I'm in the village, but right now there's no point in regretting it.
"Her looks are normal, There��s no anything strange about her, but I'm sure her power is so big since I feel a little shiver when I tried to analyze her. And about the name… if I'm not wrong, the one who came to our village is 'Athena', she comes with her attendance."
Finally, I can found some clue about the 13 representatives.
