Chapter 301 - Moving On! (1/2)

-----

Nesephise looked into the lake while everyone ate and enjoyed a rest. She was singing once more, her song suddenly began to grow stronger, but she still wasn't catching the complete ability.

However, as she continued to sing and her voice became more and more intense, her sound waved became strong, even showing up as waves of bright yellow-gold magic and not as invisible as sound waves would usually be.

”Wow… this is… Ah!” she thought, as she realized that many little critters were slowly swimming towards her. Salamander, large tadpoles, and even frogs and other amphibians, they were all coming to her side!

”A-Am I finally managing?!” she thought, however, her voice suddenly broke out of balance and the song was ruined.

The amphibians were scared, and quickly swam away from her side…

”Agh…” she sighed, feeling disappointed with herself.

Nesephise looked into the water reflecting her appearance, as she felt like she couldn't act this pathetic after all the things she had gone through.

”I almost grasped it… I just have to get over it and do it… But where is the big frog anyways? Is it really in the big city? What would be the chances for it to be there…?” she wondered.

”We'll find that info soon, don't worry.” Said Abyss, appearing behind Nesephise.

”Ah, Abyss…” said Nesephise.

”You did it! I saw it, you attracted the creatures… Now you just have to use it with the big frog and communicate to it to exchange Chaos for her egg, right? The tale of the Elder said that the frog was able to retrieve people it selected if a Priest that could sing and talk to her would appear.” Said Abyss.

”You're right… I think I can do it… I have to believe a bit more on myself, I guess.” Sighed Nesephise.

”That's the spirit! Now let's go to the city, we'll find someone, and extract their info forcefully!” said Abyss.

”Haha, you guys methods are sometimes pretty rough… But I guess they're effective.” Said Nesephise.

With that said, Nesephise quickly walked at the side of Abyss as the two girls reunited with the rest of the group, everyone had their fill by now, the giant catfish they caught and grilled was now completely gone, not even bones were left behind.

”Ready to go? But what about Ifrit? And Lilith?” wondered Natalia.

”Ifrit is still recovering, the time inside my divine realm is faster than in the outside, so an hour here might be several there, I believe he'll be able to join us in a few hours.” Said Abyss.

”What with Lilith though? All out of the sudden she grew super attached to Ifrit… This is suspicious.” Said Yuki.

”Yeah, I think she got the hots for him.” said Boxxy.

”You girls! Stop talking about things such as these so casually!!!” sighed Belphegor.

”I don't really like to get involved in someone's else personal life like that… so I wouldn't be able to tell.” Said Abyss.

”Well, we can always ask them!” said Yuki.

”Yeah, we want to know.” said Boxxy.

”You two are oddly fixated with knowing this stuff… I believe we should let them be.” Said Belphegor.

”I-I think this is not the time to talk about such personal things, don't be like that… Aren't you supposed to be adults?” asked Edward.

”Well, they're only around a year old.” Said Natalia.

”Ah…” said Edward, his expression seemed surprised, but he also realized he already knew.
