"Oh, I forgot about time. The conversation with you makes my joy so much. I wish I can see you again next time."
"Me too. Give my regard to Mr. master, next time Number Nine will present the gift that makes him shook."
"Haha. Just this he can shake to death! Well, we'll wait for it."
Nine shook hands with the billionaire businessman. No matter the opposite, Nine wouldn't let himself lose. The cloth, hairstyle, appearance, and tone of voice. The list of good-looking guys in the party must have Nine in the top three ranks.
With the ability and the strong, he was a reliable person but it was just one face he used for the social.
The man who could do everything, with his hand he didn't need to rely on the others. Even he didn't take care of subordinates it wouldn't make the problem. No matter what comment he had, his skill was everything. The success was the true result. The gossip was just the cry of the loser.
The strong mountain never shook from one thing.
Even he was like that he was still human.
Ringgggg!!!
"Arh…"
The strong big body stopped the alarm. The new morning came, his boring day was going to start again. This body still weighted like before, Nine still laid down on the bed looking at the light on his equipment.
Last night he fell asleep so fast he forgot to close the communication that made the alarm sent to that side too. Nine made a smile, 'he' wake like him.
"Good morning, my dear High Sage."
He spoke with that equipment. With his smooth tone, the light was blinking so hard.
Nine moved out from the bed faster than before.
His schedule was the same, but he had the thing to do parallel. Nine cleaned his body while checking the situation of that side.
Prepared the food for Elliot and his party and watched him eat. The handheld equipment could do the easy service if he wanted to use the full function, he had to go to NUMBERS. That was sure.
When he arrived at his office, Elliot started to move again.
Elliot's defense was the sad thing. While he had the strongest MP, but his physical was lower than Riche. The control distance of the party was the way to control the receiving bags.
Altrez and Mazkhar were stronger than Nine's thought, they made the party could go deeper. The Grey Forest was a high-level dungeon. Even he had the guideline from NUMBERS he wouldn't care less.
"…Can I send them around evening."
Nine mumbled to document files on his desk. No matter what he sent them, they would come again every day. Nine used the time that Elliot rest to finish his files.
When Gilda joined the group, everything became easier. She was so strong. Just a member of the party but he felt he possessed her. Even incomplete but Arrondo still Arrondo. Just like this could make many people envy him.
Some 'exists' made him displeased but overall, he was satisfied with this party.
Someone told this before, to travel with Avatar was to share the experience.
The more special Avatar was the more special adventure. He would receive a special experience.
The youngest High Sage in history. The son of Hero.
The greet from the spirit wasn't the thing that Adventurer would get. NUMBERS allowed him to stay with Elliot so he would take it as he wanted. Took care of him, did everything to make Elliot stay with him for a long time.
And received his magic.
The unlimited magic box, he would cherish open it a little by little.
"Nine, it's time. Are you ready?"
Forty-one came in like usual with document files and his equipment. Elliot faced with arrows rain but Nine didn't let his second wait so long. He held the transferred sound tool before speaking to him.
"Still work. I won't go anywhere."
"You have to. It's meeting you forgot?"
"Meeting… Now?" Nine looked at the note's calendar before shaking his head. Compared with the thing he did now… His mind was set here.
"Yes. Hurry, we'll be late."
No matter how Forty-one called him, Nine didn't move at all. The excellent subordinate had to look at his screen, that situation was so touched.
"Can I bring him with me?" Nine asked the other who stood by his side.
"Do you want some scold? Pause until the meeting finish. Tell him to rest a bit."
Nine sighed, held his hand out from the tool, and told his Avatar.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have a job meeting. I can't continue to serve you."
"Hey hey. Don't tell him about that." Forty-one suddenly scolded, the destination person too.
[Then who will use magic for me?]
Forty-one felt sad for him.
"You have to take a few rests. I'll assign another to temporarily take care of you."
[Who? Forty-one?]
"I'm sorry. I have to go to."
Forty-one moved to speak too. He used to regret Elliot but now he knew at the bone. No one handled Elliot as well as Nine.
However, the temporary person wasn't the thing that Forty-one thought before. Nine sent a message via his equipment just a little time young boy came into the room. Fifty-three… the youngest his subordinate and the newcomer.
Seriously…?
Forty-one doubted about Nine's thought but Nine was so serious. He told the instruction about his equipment to Fifty-three quickly, said goodbye to Elliot, and dragged him out to the meeting room.
Forty-one became the ones who come late than him, but they arrived at the time.
At this moment, he had a lot of jobs.
they were the prize that was harvested from Elliot's research. NUMBERS was bigger too. Elliot's exist was recognized in the wide areas that made Nine's burden increase.
The meeting today was the same, he belonged to him but Nine didn't have time to spend with him. Sometimes Nine wanted to throw everything but the responsibility was hanged on his neck.
Fifty-three was a proper choice.
The newcomer would become the burden to make Elliot slow then he and his party would have to wait for him. But the story appeared to twist, this magic box could open by itself to give Fifty-three the brave at the level 'asked' his only one enjoy.
Taught some lessons was enough. The weak kid was still weak.
The interesting event occurred in a short time. Those exist made the Grey Forest destruction, but he and Elliot could avoid it.
The right of the land.
The land that belonged to the spirit, had a difficult level around God to own. Nine almost couldn't stop the smile.
He received another valuable thing. Although it couldn't compare the fight with the boss, Nine was enjoyed creating a house too. He would have ultimate power beyond the arrogant spirit when he brought Avatar to test.
Nine smiled when thought about those things.
It didn't his nature, but he read it too. The conversation between Elliot and Fifty-three made him frown but some stories made him pleased.
That was correct. He was the fastest person, the only one who could give everything to Elliot. But it wasn't enough, he had to make Elliot think only of him.
That branch, two-tone spirit and Fifty-three…
They were the stone in his way. He didn't want the word like Holy Word but every time he heard it, it made him doubt,
-"The beautiful magic, the tear doesn't suit you."
Luckily, the communication was close, Nine spoke without self realize,
"What is beautiful?"
Sure, he knew the beautiful. He knew how to make it beautiful by theories and statistics, but the feeling was fading away so long. No beautiful could be sent to his heart.
The star was just the trophy with no excitement.
Everything Elliot said it beautiful, Nine never felt like that.
His mouth moved, Nine mumbled with tiredness.
"More than this…"
"Make me tire, make me nervous, make my heartbeat strong than this. If you carve it to me, can I feel it again?"
"Can I see the thing as you see?"
That was Nine's question.
When he realized it, he laughed while shaking his head.
"I might hit him so hard…"
The hit-on method continued, it was time to make Elliot pleased about him. He turned on the communication and told,
"If you ready, let's build our house together."
