26 Follow Me Into the Hidden World You are Expecting so Much (1/2)

”Hey”

”What?”

”I haven't met a single living person since morning, is it your doing?”

”Haven't you figure that out yet? When you were at the river and getting beaten up, no help arrived even though it was such a popular route. Isn't that too obvious?”

”No, I'm just asking if I'm right.”

”Oh.”

The two were just relaxing, lying on the ground by the side of the on top of the car. Watching the stars show up just right after the sunset.

”Training is pretty boring…”

”Boring?! I ran again for another four hours and made me push this car after while in reverse, how is that boring?!”

”Yeah, that's pretty boring.”

”…”

”Maybe, it is already time.”

”Time… for what?”

”For you to enter the Hidden World.”

Rin sat up and stared at Elihim whose eyes were closed. He felt many emotions stirring well inside of him.

”Don't expect too much. It's still pretty boring but not just as much as seeing you suffer at a simple workout.”

”…”

Elihim opened his eyes and rolled it towards Rin, ”So, ready to go right now?”

Rin nodded.

”Good.”, Elihim showed an entertained smile. He stood and walked over an unfamiliar direction, ”Follow me.”

Rin gulped and followed.

Elihim lead Rin to unknown roads and confusing directions.And eventually they stopped.

”Ah.”,Elihim reacted.

”Master, why are we at our house?”, Rin looked at Elihim with dead eyes.

Elihim laughed at himself and said, ”The world is truly full of mysteries that man has no hope to unveil. Let us continue.”, he turned back and continued to walk as if nothing happened.

'Did he just threw a cool phrase to keep him from embarrassment?', Rin thought as he looked at Elihim stopped and looked left and right at the cross path, choosing indecisively, 'Yeah, that's definitely the case.'

”Master, are you perhaps weak at directions?”, Rin cautiously asked in the most polite way he could muster.

Elihim just looked at him with eyes that showed disdain, ”Rin, be quiet. We're about to skip space.”
