My Magical System-Chapter 45
White Petal Moonflower
In the end, Yeman decided to accept their offer to avoid causing more doubt from these two people.
He couldn’t be reckless again. It wasn’t good if they figured out too that his another persona and not the real Eman.
After distributing the gold coins, he strolled outside to find a place out of people. But before he could walk away, he heard hurried footsteps from behind, he craned his neck to look behind just to find that girl again.
“Hey, wait!” Mina called out.
“Why?” He asked her with a poker face.
“.....”
She was silent.
She found herself lost for words. Her eyes darted to left and right trying to find the words within her throat.
.....
She opened her mouth, but no words coming out. Yeman just looking at her, waiting what this girl going to say. Wondering if she going to punch him out of a sudden. But he thought that it might not be the case.
Though he already waited for 10 seconds, she still couldn’t find the words she about to say.
The next second, she opened her mouth again and looked straight at him in his eyes. In her eyes, he couldn’t find the usual hate towards him. He thought that maybe this girl just wanted to say her sorry, but having a hard time to do so.
Yeman’s poker face leaked an unnoticeable smile. Then he opened his mouth.
“Hey, the truth is—- I wanted to ask something,” he said.
“Ha—?” She was slightly startled hearing him.
“I said—” he wasn’t able to finish his words because she followed up fast.
“What is it? What you wanted to ask?”
She rapidly fired questions.
“As you already know, I lost my memo—”
“A-Ah, about that—!” She interrupted him again with uncertain words.
Yeman scratches his face. Wondering if this still the same cold girl that he already knows. Maybe this one was an illusion. Nonetheless, She already interrupted his words twice, but she couldn’t even manage to find her own words. She couldn’t even managed to finish what she wanted to say.
“I think...you need to calm yourself first,” he said.
“Eh?”
She awkwardly stared blankly at him.
Yeman thought that this conversation would be going nowhere.
Hah~ he departed a sigh from his mouth.
“I was planning to take a stroll...you are welcome to join if you want, if not, then I have to go,” He said flatly. Really, this conversation, he finds it a waste of time. There were things that he needed to do first than casually talking with this girl who couldn’t even manage to talk properly.
He started to walk trying to find the thing which was uncertain for him. He also noticed her presence following him.
Mina was quietly following behind him. For some reason, her mouth couldn’t produce the words she wanted to say. Maybe her pride as the noble’s daughter won’t allow herself to say sorry to someone of lower stature than her family.
She knows this was a mistake. She needed to say it. She even wrongly accused him. In the end, he saves her cousin, but her mouth just couldn’t allow her to do it. She bit her lip.
After minutes of walking, she noticed him stop his steps. She looked at him from the back and slowly wandered her eyes around her. She found herself surrounded by trees. Since it was already deep in the night, the surroundings were so dark.
She saw him picked something on the ground, then he looks behind him and stares at her. When she noticed what he was holding, she felt the heat on her face.
She was thinking about what would be her reaction if he handed that thing to her. Would she accept or reject him?
But a second later the flower disappeared from his hand. Then she noticed him tapping into the air. Yeman was checking the details of the flower after storing it in his storage.
“Looks like it’s not either,” he mumbled but Mina heard it.
Mina stared agape at him. She was thinking if where that flower has gone to? Just a second ago that he was holding it, then the next second it was gone from his hand.
‘Is this an illusion?’ She thought.
“H-Hey,” she called out.
“Mhm?”
“W-What are you doing?” She asked him.
“Hmm...looks like you finally able to speak,” he said.
“Eh?” She stared at him awkwardly.
“The truth is, I’m looking for a flower named White Petal Moonflower,” He said.
‘So that’s the reason he picked that flower?!’ She exclaimed in thought.
“U-Uhm, I know where you can find it...but its a little far from here,” she said.
“Oh, really?” ƒ𝚛e𝘦𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃𝘦𝑙. 𝒄o𝓂
“M-Mhm!”
“I don’t mind how far it is, can you tell me about the location?” Yeman said.
Mina nodded and told him.
After a few seconds,
“Usually guarded by a stronger monster? And might be stronger than the Rat Lord?” He asked.
“Mhm!” She nodded.
“So there are also other monsters in this world except for those rats?” He asked curiously.
“Of course, it just happened that those rats appeared out of nowhere that they were able to invade that town. But, the truth was, they are not the main reason why the town got destroyed. They were not even the real threat of the empire. There were more powerful monsters around that are waiting to invade our land,” She said.
Yeman was quite stunned after hearing her. He remembered the large hole on the wall. That sturdy-looking wall was impossible to break even with Rat Lord’s power. So how come it breached?
Looks like the real reason for that hole was...as what this girl Mina had said. It was not done by rats, it was done by other monsters that were much stronger than the Rat Lord.
Yeman brows were slightly wrinkled. Now he needed to find that flower as soon as possible. Who knows what would happen if he encountered that kind of monster.
He needed to unlock the second tier of his skill Qi. He also remembered his sub-class. But he had no idea how to unlocked the second tier of it. It’s not a good idea to just asked this girl.
He doesn’t even know how their magic works. But he had guessed that maybe by training that they able obtained their magic skills or technique.
Since he was using a system, which differs from others. He couldn’t just ask them out of sudden.
Right now, all of them were waiting for the carriages from the empire. They needed to wait for 1 week in this camp. And another 1 week for traveling, to sum it all, it was half a month before they could go home.
He still has more time to get that flower that this girl called Mina told him.
