Chapter 169: A human expert (1/2)
In the right hand of Ella, a device materialized. She was even standing in a dignified posture, imitating her empress aunt whenever she declared something interesting to her people.
Everyone in the room was awe-inspired at her majestic aura. She looks like a queen, standing in an aloft demeanor.
However, when they noticed the thing she was holding, everyone's eyes turned into dots. With their mouths hung open.
Even the girl beside her had a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. A big bead of
sweat appeared at the back of her head.
”Puwa…!” Laughter escaped from the mouth. It was from Thomas.
Then,
”...puwahahahahaha!”
HAHAHAHAHA
Following his lead, everyone in their group was batshit laughing.
In Rea's hand, Yman and the others saw an MTMD.
But for some reason, Rea was maintaining her aloft demeanor even though the people in front of her were laughing crazily.
”Hahaha, what that thing can do, Miss Ella?” One of Thomas's men said.
”Haha, Miss Ella, do you plan on calling the emergency hotline?” Asked Thomas.
In truth, after the development of this device, not only humans could call the emergency team, even the Demihumans also had an emergency team that would rescue those who wanted their service.
However, putting into account the distance. The emergency team would be late. Although the people from the emergency team at most a False Path Expert, their number wasn't so big. On the other hand, no one knew where their station was located as they were always came late when one needed their help. Until only a few would bother to contact them.
A second later, she tapped her device. Then they heard a ringing tone. A moment after the clicking tone was heard, a voice from the other side came in.
”Hello, Merea? What's up?”
Said the person she was calling.
Upon hearing her voice, Yman felt a chill running down his spine. Then he felt a bad premonition.
Sistela screamed.
Never would he imagine that Rea would be calling her aunt. The headmaster of the adventurers guild.
'In any case, why did she call her?' He asked inwardly.
”Aunt! This person is not protecting me!!!” Rea did not bother greeting the person on the other line and directly said her complaint.
Yman and Sistela froze on the spot. It was unexpected even for him. Not good if their boss fired them!
When Thomas and the others heard her calling the person on the other line as 'Aunt', they burst into laughter once again. And even taunting her that she was like a kid asking for help from her aunt.
Beside her, Aspe was gawking. She wondered why Miss Ella called her aunt in this situation. And what she meant by 'this person not protecting her?' She doubted.
They all thought Miss Ella would pull out an amazing Artefact from her spatial ring.
However, she pulled something they least expected. How come a person with great magic and who was studying in a leading magic academy of the empire relied on her tool instead. It's not even a tool for magic combat.
Even Yman could not help but wanted to chuckle at her. But he held his chuckle as he was the target of that call!
Rea disregarded their bewilderment and raised a brow at them. Then she shot a glare at the person who was standing quietly like an audience at the back.
A bead of sweat appeared at the back of his head when he noticed her gaze towards him. Yman laughed inwardly in a descending tone while scratching his face.
”Ufufu, tell him I will cut his salary if he let my Merea hurt…”
The headmaster's reply reverberated in his head. Yman's mouth was left open with his eyes turned white.
After her aunt's words, she smugged at him with a ”Hmph!”
She looks like a spoiled girl.
”.....”
He was looking forward to her amazing magic spell but for some reason, she pulled something very scary. At least it was for him.
Sistela said with a scare which further dropped his shoulder.
Hah! He sighed. And winked at Rea with a smile.
Rea was caught off guard and was taken aback. She could not believe this guy had the time to tease her in such a situation they were in. Though her heart skips a beat.
But she could not let herself be swallowed into this person's actions. Rea decided to put a facade of an uninterested face. If someone knew exactly what she felt that moment, they would think, 'As expected of a princess, she was good at imposing an act!'
She briefly stuck out her tongue in his direction.
Before Yman could think to himself that he failed to tease her, a report from his ever-trusting partner came-in.
Said Sistela in surprise.
He too was surprised at this notification from his Deity but soon a grin happened on his face.
He finally got a hang of this Attribute.
No one noticed the little teasing exchanged between them.
'This girl loves being teased apparently,' he thought so.
While Aspe was still marveling at what to do in this situation, Thomas and his men waa still laughing crazily.
(Until…)
”Stop making fun of my girl…” they heard someone saying it. His voice was so calm and the tone was serious. He said it with a straight face like it was a natural thing to say.
All the people inside the cramped shop of flowers and herbs turned silent. They all glanced at the cause of the voice. They saw the young man who they thought already went away.
Aspe was puzzled by his words.
But then, ”Wha--! M-M-My.....” Rea stammered her words while having a shocked face. Then fumes that seemed like volcanic fumes appeared on top of her head and her face slowly turned red, but she used her hands to cover her face after a semi-eruption.
In her mind, it wasn't because she likes him, it was just too embarrassing to hear.
Sistela was once again reported.
