Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 252 - 240: Discussion with Elseria

The next morning, after freshening up, Alex left the Blue Haven Villa, his destination was the Guild headquarter.

A few minutes later he was already inside the Guild, as usual, it was bursting with activity.

After a quick chat with Ella, the Elf receptionist that resembles Elseria. Alex was sent to the seven-floor, Elseria personal space.

Just as the teleportation light faded, Alex was greeted by the same beautiful scenery that is the seven-floor. He couldnʼt help but marvel at how well done the whole floor was.

And as usual, Elseria was sitting in the pavilion sipping tea. She was alone. Today she was dressed in a casual summer robe, even so, she was still breathtaking. Every action of her spoke elegance as if it was innate.

Alex couldnʼt help but wonder if she was still hiding another identity. Shaking his head to discard this thought as now wasnʼt the time to dwell on such a subject, he approached her and greeted her.

ʼʼThat was a beautiful match. I have never doubted you, I knew you would win. Strong as she may be, she was still lacking, still incomplete to truly overwhelm you.ʼʼ Elseria said after greeting him back.

Alexʼs eyes narrowed as from Elseriaʼs words he was able to understand something, she was incomplete and how so, this will need a bit of thinking.

Suddenly, it dawned upon him that Silveria had said something about Artemiaʼs Gift being in an incomplete state. He couldnʼt help but wonder what her complete Gift look like, how strong she would be armed with a complete Gift?

Alexʼs blood boiled in anticipation, he quickly calmed down as another realization hit him. Maybe the goal of this expedition had something to do with Artemiaʼs Gift because the dungeon they are about to raid was said to be special.

ʼʼWhy did you say such a thing?ʼʼ Alex probed. He had more or less guessed why she said that, though.

Chuckling Elseria took a sip of her tea and said, ʼʼBoy, do not ask a question to which you already have the answer.ʼʼ

Alexʼs expression turned dark and Elseria couldnʼt help but giggle.

ʼʼWhat? Dissatisfied with my words?” She asked.

ʼʼYeah, I do not like being called Boy,ʼʼ Alex told her.

Elseria was surprised at first before smiling.

ʼʼI see, Noted, I will stop calling like that. Well, from now on I will call you Kael as I prefer this one to Alexander or Alex.ʼʼ

Even though he found it weird to be called Kael as it was only his grandfather who called him such, Alex couldnʼt only accept as Kael is one of his names, itʼs better than being called Boy. It was like she was putting a distance, a gigantic wall between them and he had the feeling that if he did not do anything about it right now, it may never change.

Unaware or she chooses not to talk about it, Elseria continued.

ʼʼSmart, as you are you, have understood what I meant when I said Artemia was incomplete, not her, her Gift, though. Your dungeonʼs raid will be related to finding out how to complete her Gift. They exist an inheritance altar in the depth of the dungeon. Whether or not it contains something that can help her complete her Gift is yet to be known. Be aware that it wouldnʼt be easy.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. Thanks for the information. I heard about disappearances inside the dungeons. Should you not postpone the dungeonʼs raid until the culprit is found?” Alex asked.

Elseria heaved a sigh while leaning deeper into her chair she answered.

ʼʼWell, normally yes. However, we will lose a lot if I were to order to seal off the dungeons as dungeons are essential for the economy. We canʼt bring ourselves to do such a thing. Adventurerʼs life is full of danger, you may die today in search of wealth and fame, so disappearances or not adventurer life continues.

I know you are concerned about your sister, donʼt worry nothing bad will happen to her.ʼʼ

She knew why he asked that question, it was because he feared the possibility of his sister getting targeted as they wonʼt be in the same group, the same dungeon.

Alex couldnʼt help but smile as his intention was seen through, and before he could place one, Elseria teased him.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, nothing will happen to your women as well. Not after you just get engaged, congratulations by the way. I never knew you were the fast type.ʼʼ

Unsure if she knew what her last words meant or not, Alex was hurt, therefore he decided to tease her in turn.

ʼʼShall we test out? You will see whether Iʼm fast or not.ʼʼ

Not immediately understanding what Alex meant, Elseria wanted to raise a question when abruptly she finally understood it. The dignified Guild master, the one feared across the world blushed. If this news were to be known, it would flip the world upside down.

Seeing such an unexpected reaction, Alex was surprised beyond words, at the same time he was momentarily smitten and he couldnʼt help but said as he touched her cheek.

ʼʼCute.ʼʼ

A powerful pressure bore down on him almost making him coughed up the tea he just drunk.

ʼʼNow, now, little Else. No need to act so unreasonably just to hide how embarrassed you are. Donʼt you think?ʼʼ

Silveria who had not spoken a word since Alex left the villa came out and shielded Alex from Elseriaʼs power.

Elseria quickly gets control of her emotions. She couldnʼt help but sigh as finally learned that she still has a long way to go before totally having control over her emotions. Just a casual touch and she almost becomes crazy. Well, the truth was that Alexʼs finger, his touch sends an electric jolt down her whole body, an unknown emotion coursed through her body. Something she had never experienced.

Afraid of this unknown emotion she released a bit of her power, if not she had the feeling that she would sink without the power to fight against this emotion, this truly scared her.

Looking at Alexʼs fingers Elseria couldnʼt help but find them dangerous. Well, if Luna was here she would have nodded at how dangerous Alexʼs fingers are.

ʼʼMy bad Alex, I wasnʼt myself,ʼʼ Elseria said looking apologetic.

While scratching his head Alex waved his hands,

ʼʼNo, no, it was me who should have not done what I did. I didnʼt know what got into me for me to act like that. Truly sorry.ʼʼ

Seeing Alex like this, Elseria couldnʼt help but chuckle a little finding the current him cute. Well, there is no she was going to tell him that.

Looking at them being in their world and act as if she didnʼt exist pissed her.

ʼʼI say you two. Go find a room will you.ʼʼ

Both Alex and Elseria rolled their eyes at Silveria.

ʼʼElseria I want to know where Sera is at the moment?ʼʼ

Finally remembering his last goal, Alex asked.

ʼʼAh! It seems that she went out to buy some material for her father. Maybe she is already back I donʼt know. Why do you ask? Finally missing her?”

To Elseriaʼs question, Alex nodded, not hiding the fact that he indeed missed her.

ʼʼThe truth is that he canʼt wait to start his second conquest,ʼʼ Silveria said while eating the ice cream one of the maids brought.

Alex wondered why someone would eat so much Ice cream. As for what Silveria said, he chose to royally ignore it.

Looking at Elseria he thought about his plan.

Having noticed his stare Elseria knew he had something to say, curious about what it was she probed.

ʼʼDo you have something to say?”

Alex nodded before asking her to lend her his ears, though confused she still did it.

Leaning forward, Alex whispered something into Elseriaʼs ears. The latter eyes couldnʼt help but widen until she started laughing.

She found Alexʼs plan, calling it a deal will be more accurate, she found it interesting.

ʼʼInteresting proposition. While Iʼm inclined to accept it, I will fully acknowledge it only when the other party accepts. Do you understand my point?” Elseria asked with a smile, she was curious about how Alex came to such a conclusion, and more importantly how he plan to make it works.

ʼʼOf course, I do.ʼʼ Alexʼs answer brought Elseria back to reality.

ʼʼGood, we have a deal then.ʼʼ She said.

Too busy to care about what those who were saying, Silveria was eating her fourth serving.

After spending another hour talking with Elseria, Alex decided to head back.

Looking at the leaving Alexʼs back Elseria couldnʼt help but chuckle wondering if that little girl knew what this man planned. Her expression would be priceless, too bad she would be busy here, if not she would have secretly tailed him to see how he plan to do it.

ʼʼTime to get to work,ʼʼ Elseria mumbled and the scenery around her shifted.

•••••

On his way back, Silveria couldnʼt help but ask him,

〖Master how do you plan on checking-〗

Cutting her off before she could finish Alex said.

ʼʼYou will soon find out.ʼʼ
