Chapter 23 - Love Interest?

Usman " Okay. Let's check the map, shall we?" I said laying on the bed.

Just like Satou's, map had to do a scan. Then, it came.

Usman " Hmm, most of the villagers are neutral to me. But there are few blue dots." I said checking the map.

Usman" Hmm, the siblings are blue. Boy is inspired by me and the girl has a crush on me?" I said looking at the information.

Haaahhh!

Usman " Ufia and Firuza admired my bravery. Xiona has admiration for me and she is confused? Huh. Whatever, I am taking a rest now." I said turning the map off.

Meanwhile ~

Firuza and Ufia arrived on the battle scene. They found Xiona there, helping people.

Ufia " Xiona!" She called her.

Xiona turned to them when they arrived.

Firuza " Dear lord! It's great, you are alright. Tell me! Was it another hellhound?" She started questioning.

Xiona" Wait?! What!" She said shocked.

Firuza " Dear lord! You are saying, it was something else!" She said surprisingly.

Ufia" Let's calm down and talk somewhere private." She said looking around.

They nodded and went to house of Mahogany, which was close by. After sitting in a room.

Firuza " So, what's happened on your side?" She asked.

Xiona" Wait? Something else happened in the village?" She asked concerned.

Haaahhh!

Ufia" Let's talk about, what happened on our side before. Then, you will tell us about yours." She said and Xiona nodded.

Ufia" Then, listen. After we went to my office. A hellhound, a fiendish dog appeared in the market place and started attacking people. Because of that, we had some casualties and lost of shops. " She stopped.

Xiona was shocked.

Ufia" But before it causes more destruction, it was killed by that mysterious boy, Firuza brought in three hits." She said gesturing towards Firuza with her thumb.

Firuza " What with the gesture?!" She said pouting.

Xiona" So, he killed it too?!" She said with wide eyes.

Ufia" So, he also dealt with your problem. " She said understanding.

Xiona" Yes. Apparently, an Eldritch warrior appeared near the village square and started killing people. He was good too. He sliced usman's arrows two times." She said looking at them.

Firuza" Dear lord..." She said shocked.

Ufia " IT DID WHAT?!" She said shocked.

Xiona " IT appeared, he was a servant of evil God. He was looking for someone who interfered in his plans." She said.

Ufia" But I thought evil God can't be bring into our world, after we killed the cultists." She said thinking.

Firuza" Because they are not." She said.

Ufia " What?!" She said surprised.

Firuza " Xiona tell us more, I shall inform you two after that." She said seriously.

Xiona" Okay...Then, he tried to kill two siblings. Usman stopped him on time but....he was hurt somehow. Maybe... Then, his body flared with bluish white energy which seemed like a flame. He was like a fire of light against darkness! Then.... his swords changed with a strange but an amazing chant into... two feathers... white and black...he used them and broke Eldritch warrior swords into pieces." She said with administration.

Xiona" Then, he killed him. But before dying, he said he was sure, Usman was the person who got in the evil God's plan. After that, Usman went away. He didn't even look at me. Maybe he didn't see me in the first place....Am I not pretty?" She asked with almost teary eyes.

Firuza" ... dear... lord..." She didn't know what to say.

Ufia was looking at her with her mouth a jar.

Ufia " Haaahhh!... I never thought you would fall in love like that. But he is kinda alluring." She said looking at Firuza.

Firuza" Hmm...he is kinda handsome even with his southern look. But... do you think.. it's okay?" She asked Ufia.

Ufia" Nah! It's perfect! He could be a great future lord or our military head!" She said and Firuza nodded later.

Xiona" WAIT!... WHAT... YOU MEAN BY... LOVE! I... DON'T LOVE HIM! Do...I..?" She asked confused with blush.

Ufia" Of course! My lady! Your blush and your way of speaking about him explain everything." She said with a smirk.

Firuza" You are like a maiden in love!" She said smiling.

Xiona" R... really?" She said playing with her hairs.

Ufia" Yep! But first, I want to know about cultists, Firuza." She said looking at her.

Firuza" Of course!" She said.

Firuza then told them about Rafile working with cultists against lady Ubik and her trade for some nasty ritual and how Usman saved them. How Quinton involvement in the matter.

Xiona " So...he saved everyone..." She said smiling with a blush.

Ufia" I think, I should get used to it. So, he was working for her lady at that time." She inquired.

Firuza" Actually..."

She told them, how they met in forest during kobolds ambush. That he was on a job to retrieve a citerine. His escorting the carriage and saving the village from bandits. Illma's invitation to a dinner and him saving them being a Cr 1.

Ufia " He was a Cr 1!" She said surprisingly.

Firuza" He leveled up there and...I think that ritual was a part of evil God's plan..."

Xiona" W.. what about Viscountess and... my d..dad.." She said stuttering.

Ufia" You are right! They all linked somehow." She said putting her hand on ufia's shoulder.

Firuza " There's more..."

She told them about Illma's dream of Usman.

Xiona " Y.. you mean... He is.. chosen by... vestiges of...gods..." She asked.

Ufia" Yes! She's right." She said looking at her.

Firuza" Besides, you should be feeling proud to be in love with a person like him." She said trying to light up the mood.
