BXBX NOVEL Chapter 28 28 – A Crystal
“I want to confirm something first, sir.” Elise wiped her tears.
“What’s that?” The god asked.
Elise looked into Renee’s eyes intently. “So, how about it, Renee? Are you going to join Lauren’s party?”
Renee was silent for a moment, then looked at Lauren and Alain with eyes that also started to water.
“It’s not that we pity you,” Alain explained. “As I said earlier, we fully acknowledge your abilities. If you join us, our adventures will be interesting. There are many new strategies to explore.”
Renee’s smile widened. “But, maybe I won’t be as effective as when I fight against Charles. After all, I’m not talented in magic.”
Lauren patted Renee’s shoulder. “Maybe you actually have a talent for magic, Renee.”
“Eh?” Renee frowned. “What do you mean?”.
“You used Mana Pills before fighting Charles, right?” Lauren asked.
“That’s very dangerous. One pill is already risky, let alone many at once.” Alain added. “Yes, your mana capacity does get bigger, but it could kill you. It’s a miracle you were only hospitalized. If it weren’t for those pills, you would probably be fine with the help of a healer and wouldn’t need treatment.”
Lauren pressed her palm to Renee’s chest. “Yes, your mana capacity is low, but it’s not due to genetics. There are nerves in you that need to be properly adjusted for that capacity to function normally. I can tell with my magical abilities.”
Alain drew closer to Renee. “I know a healer who can do just that. This method wasn’t invented long ago, but its effectiveness has been proven.”
“As long as you can endure the two-week trip, we will go there once you are fully recovered.” Lauren’s eyes also started to get wet.
Renee’s tears finally started to flow. “W-why? Why do you want to help me like that? Two weeks is a very long time. You can use it to carry out some profitable missions.”
“I’ll never get tired of saying this.” Alain gave an affirmation. “We believe in your talent and ability. We really want you in our party.”
Renee’s tears were getting heavier. She then covered her face with both hands.
“Welcome to our party.” Lauren rubbed the corners of her eyes, then smiled at Alain.
Raymund’s sigh was heard from the dildo-shaped object. “Sorry, but Elise really has to come back now. There are still other requests she has to answer.”
“Just a moment, sir.” Renee grabbed her magic bag, and took out her usual light blue bra.
“You’re going to give that to Elise?” Lauren chuckled. “Even if it’s your trademark?”
“Ugh, please don’t remind me of that.” Renee snorted, then removed the green crystal attached to the bra and handed it to Elise. “This stone doesn’t have any abilities, and I put it up just for decoration. Now it’s yours.”
“Thank you, I’ll take good care of it.” Elise gripped the crystal tightly. Her tears were still flowing.
“That’s in return for giving this communication tool.” Renee glanced at the dildo-shaped object lying on the bed. Her left eye is wincing.
Renee and Elise hugged each other. When Elise finally let go of her friend, she looked at Lauren and Alain.
“Thanks, everyone.” Elise smiled faintly. “Until we meet again.”
Then, her body floated upwards, entering the fog, causing the others to gape in disbelief.
***
I didn’t choose a skill that could open the censorship of private parts in this game. Instead, the skill I picked up was the ability to give a particular item to one Levidna resident once every three missions. That special item I gave Renee wasn’t just a communication tool. It was also a tracking device. So, I can still watch Renee even though this mission is over. I’ll keep an eye on her.
She must be mine, and I will wait for the right moment.
“Why?” Anja, sitting next to me, was sobbing with her snot coming out. “Even though it was so emotional, why did the scene have to be ruined with that ugly dick-shaped object?”
“So, are you crying because you are touched or because of that masterpiece?” I chuckled. Among the forms of artifacts provided, the shape of the penis and vagina is the most unique. I have to admit, whoever took care of the artifacts’ shape must have had a great sense of humor.
Therefore, I wonder why nipples and genitals are censored in the game. There is a choice of object shapes like that.
“I cried because I was moved!” Anja screamed in annoyance, continuing to sob.
Elise then came out of one part of the fog. Anja immediately got up, ran fast, and hugged that woman’s body.
Elise couldn’t help but freeze in confusion, maybe because she had never met Anja before.
“She is one of the servants of the god of merchants. She accompanies me while watching over you.” I walked up to Elise, giving her a warm smile. “Congratulations, Elise. Once again, you did a great job.”
“Ah, you’re welcome, sir.” Elise looked the other way. Remnants of tears still lingered at the corners of her eyes. She can’t hide her sadness.
Anja let go of her hug, then grabbed Elise’s shoulders. “Believe me, you’ll get to see Renee again. By the way, I’m Anja. Nice to meet you.”
“Errr…. Nice to meet you too.”
“May I see the green crystal Renee gave you?” I asked my servant.
Despite looking so doubtful, Elise still opened her right hand, revealing the shiny crystal.
“How about the crystals fitted into your new armor?” I made an offer to cheer her up a little bit. I don’t want her sadness to get in the way of her abilities. “You know, like in Renee’s outfit.”
Anja sucked the snot in her nose. “That can be arranged! Your new outfit isn’t finished yet, Elise. So, I can request the god of armor to install the crystal! Even if he refuses, I’ll do everything in my power to get him to agree.”
“Errrr… Thanks?” Elise gave her signature grimace. She didn’t seem too sure or understand what she had just heard.
