After coming in the room.
Usman ' Luminous. Will it be tonight? Because these consecutive cancelled dinners are annoying me!'
Luminous ' Well, yesterday's was cancelled due to aftermath of the attack and execution of Rafile. Still, it could happens tonight.'
Usman ' I know but it's still a pain!'
It wasn't like, I had any plans. But I didn't want to waste my rest of visa like that. That's why I decided to start my preparation for the journey. Then, I sat down and like yesterday move my mp through my body. I was trying to find a way to improve my evasive maneuvers like Rin used her mp to gain strength. It wasn't easy in the beginning but with time, I got what I wanted.
Man~ I really wanted a sensory technique/power now. Sighs~ In the evening, when I went down. I was glad that there was no one to announce another dinner cancellation. I moved out and walked towards the Ubik House. When I reached there, guard opened the door after seeing me. I passed by him, walked through the garden.
House's door opened as I came close. A maid in European style stood there.
Maid " My lady is in the dining room. Please follow me."
I followed her and moved through the hall, I bursted into last time. It wasn't that lavish or maybe I wasn't sure to tell. We stopped at a door where she inquired admittance first.
Then, we entered. It was a big room with windows on the right, some paintings and a dinning table. Old lady was already sitting on her chair. Maid was issued out with a gesture by the old lady.
Illma" Please, have a seat."
Usman ' Luminous?'
Luminous ' Just go like I said. Mercenary don't care about etiquette until they want to make contact. Which is not required for you. Consider it a normal dinner.'
Usman ' Okay.'
I sat down like I did in the tavern with my weapons.
Illma ' He's cautious. Good. But he didn't show any etiquette. Does he not want to make any contact in the north?'
Soon, our dinner arrived which was like a normal shop food on Earth.
Well, this was a mediaeval world too. During our dinner, she was watching me time to time.
Illma ' Hmmmm, he knows some etiquettes but he is not bragging about his accomplishments like other mercenaries. Well, not anybody could be choosed by a God.'
After our dinner, we washed our hands with water bowels brought by the maids.
When they moved out.
Illma " I know it's our second meeting but I like us to be formally introduce myself. I am Illma Ubik, the sole heir of Ubik House in the north. "
As she stopped her introduction.
Luminous ' it's your turn.'
Usman "I am Usman, a mercenary."
Illma ' He knows about introducing manner.'
Illma " Then, Usman. I thank you for your bravery and saving mine and my people's lives."
Usman" It was all due to circumstances."
Illma ' Not taking credit, I wonder why he became a mercenary.'
Illma " Tell me, Usman. Is it your first time in the north?"
Usman" Yes."
Illma" Considering your age, since when you are being a mercenary."
Luminous ' Talk after me..'
Usman" Well, it was my first mission as a mercenary. Before I was just an apprentice."
Illma" Really! Who's your mentor if I may ask?"
Usman" I can't tell, I gave him my word and he isn't in this world."
Illma" OH! My condolences."
Illma' His master died probably after he was a Cr 1. But who was it? Did he knew about boy's future?! No doubt he knew that's why he trained him to this level!'
Illma " Usman, I have a mission that I would like you to succeed."
Usman" What sort of mission?"
Illma" North is currently in danger of being rule by a vicious necromancer."
She said sitting upright.
Usman ' A legendary evil class.'
Illma ' He's calm!'
Illma " She's currently the Viscountess of the north."
I raised my brow.
Illma" She is the young daughter of previous viscount. She killed her family for both shunning her and taking the title from her elder brother."
Usman ' Why did shunned her? Were they idiots?'
Luminous ' They were probably afraid of her powers.'
Usman ' Well, that's obvious.'
Illma clapped her hands and a maid with woman before entered.
Illma " She's the one, you saved also."
???" Thank you!"
Illma" She is Firuza Fironova, the widow of deceased viscount."
Usman" Why she didn't kill her?"
Firuza" Because she didn't think I was worth killing."
