The next day .
"What is this..." - Greyworth muttered, looking at a tattoo of a red rose below her chest that she did not know existed - "Is this the apology that brat mentioned?"
After thinking for a moment, Greyworth carefully sent her magic power to the tattoo to try to detect it and remove it if it was harming her.
As soon as her magical power came into contact with the tattoo, many information about the tattoo was transferred to Greyworth's mind.
'Is such a thing supposed to exist?' - Greyworth couldn't believe the information she was given and stared at the tattoo in disbelief.
The tattoo had four functions: communication, identification, and borrowing power. In addition, she obtained the Immortality, which was her wish that she could not fulfill even after winning the Blade Dance.
Immortality was not just obtaining eternal life, but she had two types of immortality: the first granted her eternal life, and the other was regeneration that allowed her to heal from all fatal wounds, except for those that she could erase with a single blow.
"I wonder who that brat is who was able to achieve something that the Elemental Lords could not achieve," Greyworth murmured, and she could not deny that she was curious about Akira's identity, especially after knowing that Kamito possessed the "Sulaiman's Ring" and that he was the second coming of the demon king.
』You don't have to think about it too much since you will know my identity when the time is right since once you have this tattoo you are no longer irrelevant to me.『
"..." - Greyworth couldn't help but frown upon hearing Akira's voice as it was obvious that he could spy on her at any time and this was not something she really liked.
』Have you been spying on me since yesterday? 『
』 There is no need to worry as I cannot spy on you as I could hear you because the tattoo absorbed your magic power as by sending the magic power to the seal you can use its other three functions unlike immortality as it always works 『
"..." - Upon hearing Akira's explanation, the frown on Greyworth's face disappeared and was replaced by a sexy and beautiful smile as she remembered receiving this kind of information, but that does not mean that she believes it 100%.
』Then I will excuse myself, but I hope that you will take good care of Kamito, as he is a pathetic child, and I hope that you will help him to be freed from the shadows of Instructional School.『
After finishing talking, Akira turned off his telepathy as he had something he needed to do.
"Leave it to me," Greyworth murmured, as she was indebted to Akira a lot since he had fulfilled her long-held wish, and Greyworth was not the ungrateful type who forgets the favor of others, which is why she did not mind taking care of Kamito a little, especially since she was thinking of doing the same.
_
"I see you've woken up," Greyworth said upon entering the room where Kamito was resting since he had been unconscious since yesterday.
"Greyworth Ciel Mais..." - Kamito murmured the name of the woman in front of him quietly - "Why did you spare my life?"
Kamito was calm as it was clear that Greyworth wanted something from him since she did not kill him.
"Don't worry, it's just a whim, as I felt it was a loss to kill a male elementalist," Greyworth said sarcastically, "plus, your golden friend asked me to take care of you."
"Akira huh~" - Kamito couldn't help but sigh when remembering Akira, as his relationship with him was complicated as they were rivals, friends, and colleagues, but they didn't have much interaction except when they went together to carry out missions.
"Do you want to become stronger?" Greyworth suddenly asked, staring at Kamito with interest.
"I don't know..." - Kamito said after a good moment of silence as he would be lying if he said he didn't want to become stronger but the person who was chasing his back is gone and he doesn't even know his true strength yet since he should have superior strength. His imagination.
"I see..." - Greyworth murmured as she saw the lost and uncertain look in Kamito's eyes - "For now you will work as a maid in this palace and I will train you until you become stronger and find something you want to do."
Greyworth did not take Kamito's opinion as she was telling him her decision, as Kamito did not have the right to reject her decisions, especially after she spared his life after his attempt on her life.
Of course, Kamito already knew this, which is why he was calm since he woke up and did not try to escape, as he knew that he was not Greyworth's opponent, and if she wanted to kill him, she would not have waited for him to wake up.
"It will be your job to cook and take care of the housework," Greyworth said as she walked toward the door to exit, "plus you will accompany Claire to entertain her."
"You can rest for the rest of the day since you will start work tomorrow." - Saying this, Greyworth left the room and left Kamito alone to rest and think about his current situation.
』 It's great that you can live a normal life now away from Instructional School 『
"A normal life huh..." - Kamito murmured and he wasn't sure if this was a normal life or not since he had never experienced it before as he was just an orphan who stole for a living before he was taken by the Instructional School and trained to become an assassin.
"I don't know if this is a normal life, but I won't lose anything from trying it." - Kamito said with a small smile to his Contracted Spirit. He was ready to live this normal and unnatural life at the same time, as Kamito knew inside himself that it was impossible to have a normal life since this... His destiny as male elementalist It wasn't bad to live a normal, carefree life for a while.
