Omega Summoner - #1740 - 1740 Nether Visits III

“Do you want to die?” Peridot stated.

“We all know why you are avoiding Saena because she looked like a dove before. You are still afraid of the sudden poop missile that landed on your head when we were kids.” Adrian stated as he chuckled.

The three friends suddenly started to fight verbally against one another. They did not utter harsh words against each other but just revealed some embarrassing moments that they witnessed with each other. This made Frey laugh as she found the stories incredibly endearing but funny at the same time.

“You guys are really close that I almost envy you guys for it.” Frey stated.

“Sorry about that. I guessed we got too carried away that we forgot to include you in the conversation.” Peridot stated.

“No worries. It was actually very entertaining for me to hear all of your stories. I did not have much childhood friends growing up as I had to move a lot when I was younger.” Frey stated.

Even though communication was already at the point that people can talk to virtual holograms of others, physical communication is what really seals the emotions of other people. One would still need to meet with the ones they liked to converse with online in order to form real connections. If they do not do so, then it would be quite easy to ghost someone instantly.

“Do not worry because I shall be your new bestie. I always wanted a girl bestie that I can chat with. I will even visit you when I saved enough money, or you can visit me and hang out with Equinox and the others. He can like give you a house to stay at.” Peridot stated. 

“Why are you offering my place when you are the one that invited her?” Adrian stated.

“It is better this way plus I cannot really invite her in my house when I have rowdy younger siblings.” Peridot stated which made all of them laugh in unison.

All of them did not notice that they were already in front of the walls of the castle. They were having such great time conversing that they arrived at the gates with no concept of time. They only stopped talking when a guard suddenly stopped them as they would have walked straight into the gates.

“Halt! This is the residence of the Yamato family. You cannot enter here without any permission.” The guard stated.

“Sorry about that. We were having too much fun talking with each other. I am actually here on business as I have to talk to someone.” Adrian stated.

“If you wish to talk with the Mistress then I am afraid that they are busy right now. They did not notify us that there would be visitors today which is why I advise you to turn back. It is a punishable offence to use the mistress’ authority without her permission in this land.” The guard stated.

“I am not here to meet your mistress. I am here to meet Yumeko. Please tell her that Nether is here to visit.” Adrian stated with a smile.

The guards immediately had their hands on their weapons as they are very protective of the young lady of Yamato. They did not sense any hostile intent on the young boy that appeared outside the gates which is why they did not pull out their weapons. They also felt this overbearing pressure from him when they placed their hands on their weapons as if they were being warned.

“Do not worry as I can wait here until my message is relayed. Please tell Yumeko that Nether has arrived to fulfill his promise to her.” Adrian stated.

“Well, one of you should relay his message to the head of the house instead of standing there.” A rough manly voice stated which Adrian found familiar.

“Yes! Sir Kondo!” One of the guards stated as he sprinted towards the main hall to deliver the message.

“So, what brings you monsters here?” Kondo stated in a laid-back tone, but he was actually ready to draw his blade the moment Adrian and the others leaked hostile intent.

 “Calling us monsters! How rude, old man.” Peridot stated.

“All of you are not exactly human. You think that I do not know that all of you are just wearing some sort of glamour? I have fought many inhuman beings to smell one when they are pretending to be humans.” Kondo stated.

“Well, we decided to look human for the sake of the people here as we do not want to suddenly frighten them after all. Also, there are a lot of demihumans here in the eastern continent already. They are not considered monsters, or do you consider them as such?” Adrian asked.

“They are still residents, but they are not human. We have mutual respect like that, and they do not hide what they are.” Kondo replied.

“I guess but we are not supposed to be here in this continent after all. There are a lot of enemies that would like to kill us if our existence is suddenly revealed. What matters the most is that we are not doing anything to harm others here.” Levin Cloud stated.

“Not all of us have enemies in the eastern continent. Frey is probably the only one among us that can walk freely here.” Peridot stated.

“Actually, even my kind is not allowed here. The one that was from the eastern continent created such ruckus when she returned here that all the four cardinal beasts denied our kind entry.” Frey stated.

 “I guess we are all in the same boat then. Is this what it feels like to be a minority?” Adrian stated.

“There is a difference between a minority and someone that brings trouble to any place they go. We are all in the latter part which I cannot defend ourselves from.” Levin Cloud stated.

“I wanted to retort but I have to agree.” Adrian stated with a nod.

“I am a good girl, though. Teehee” Peridot stated but no one really believes her.
