47 Chapter 47: Hoko (1/2)
Within the Lobby of the Hotel, Lambert was quietly sitting in one of the chairs while reading a book.
Aura was to is right sitting quietly and patiently like a proper lady we all know she isn't. Tosca was swinging her legs from her own chair while humming a tune, her eyes were vibrant and she had a smile plastered on her face, much different from the girl she was before.
”Light Scriptures”, was the name of the book Lambert was reading, he had read the book dozens of times but never grew tired of it, it after the book that contained the experience of all the Saints to ever live, they would write down there own understanding of the light sharing it with all the members of the order
Lambert himself had contributed to the book and wrote his experience and understanding the light within. After every new saint writing within it would be compounded and published by the order as the next volume of the book, only difference in the book is that the entry of the new saint.
Saint was a title given to the most powerful grand paladin of each grand Order. The Light grand order's saint was called The Holy Saint, the Fire grand Order's saint was called the Infernal Saint and so forth.
Reading the book was a form of relaxation to Lambert, he would also scribble down some comment on the pages or conjectures to some of the previous saints understanding. He would even sometime directly scrub away a certain sentence as to him what that saint wrote there was bullshit.
Lambert has reached the pinnacle of understanding of the light to the point of being one with it, his light was even stronger than Aura's alight elemental, which should be impossible but the proof was there. Lambert himself had no idea why this was so but he didn't really care anyway his affinity with the light had saved him many times so rather than be skeptical he was grateful for the gift even if he had to sacrifice some...things...to obtain it.
While reading Lambert would also glance every now and then at the Yokai girl standing at the counter in the hotel waiting for customers. He had felt her gaze more than a few doesn't of times and not just that also her attempting Youjutsu to probe them. Going over Lambert nothing happened but when the Jutsu touched Aura it quivered and immediately retreated unfortunately Aura already set her gaze on the poor Youkai girl.
The youkai girl was currently sweating bullets under Aura's gaze v, she just casually probed the group since they seemed a bit strange, the little kid was somewhat special having a smidgen of manna in her, the old man was ordinary but when she probed the white-haired woman she was so terrified she almost fainted, the woman had an astronomical amount of manna in her body and the strange thing was there was no life force just the manna that shined in splendor.
She immediately knew that she screwed up so she canceled her jujutsu but it was too late, she had garnered the attention of the woman and could only curse her bad luck, only a being of the ultimate class would have that kind of power and she just went and garnered such a beings ire.
Aura was about to stand up but Lambert raised his hand stopping her. He then slowly rose from his seat and walked towards the Youkai girl. She was of course very relieved when she saw it was normal if the not buff old man and not the Ultimate class white-haired woman.
She was a bit curious why the ultimate class woman would listen to a normal old man but didn't think any further than that as Lambert has already appeared in front of her on the other side of the counter.
”Can I help you, sir”
The youkai girl asked, her smile somewhat weird.
