76 Devil (1/2)
Blake looked down at the small hand that was still holding firmly on to his causing the corners of his lips to turn upwards. He did not try to pull away, instead, he said: ”Master Berlin was right to tell you to never use such magic in front of others.”
”Yeah, I know. This kind of magic is not something that should be spread around.” Alicia knew that this magic was translocation. As long as she had been somewhere all she had to do was visualize the location she wanted to exit from and there would be no problem. If enemy countries got ahold of such magic they would only need to send one person out undercover, find the nearest biggest place and then return to their capital. From there they could open a rift at any time and send thousands of soldiers through to invade.
Alicia let out a sigh of relief now that they were out of the woods and without even thinking still holding on to Blake's hand pulled him along towards the village where Starla and Rose were waiting.
Starla saw Alicia coming towards the village so she started to run towards them to meet up halfway. But she stopped short when she saw Alicia holding Blake's hand causing a teasing smile to form on her face. ”Oh ho? Since when did you two become all lovey dovey?”
It was only when Starla said something that Alicia realized she was still holding Blake's hand. She blushed all the way to her ears and quickly released Blake's hand before she ran forward towards Starla. 'So embarrassing!'
Seeing that teasing look on Starla's face Alicia knew if she tried to defend herself and say that it was just her being absent minded, Starla would not believe her. So instead of defending herself, she ran right past Starla towards Rose. ”Rose we need to go speak with the village chief.”
”Hey! Alicia!” Starla yelled out after being completely ignored. She stomped her feet before running after Alicia. Blake who was watching the antics of the girls couldn't help but form a slight smile on his face as he clenched the fist that Alicia had been holding.
'Don't get ideas… Remember who she really is… I need to gain more merits by the time of her coming of age ceremony. Only then will I be able to become her personal knight...' Blake told himself before joining up with the rest.
”What do we need to speak to the village chief about?” Rosed asked.
”Relocation. The entire village needs to be relocated and this whole area needs to become a military site.” Blake explained.
”Military site?” Starla was surprised. She never thought an F rank mission to kill a few earth wolves would turn into such a big event!
