Chapter 326 When They Arrived
They arrived in the city just as it was getting dark. Just like when they departed from here.
When they stepped inside the house, the three clones stood up stiffly in unison.
Erend, Billy, and Adrien felt this situation was so awkward and strange because they had to stare at a clone that was very similar to them.
The three clones looked no different from the three of them. Once again proving how amazing the Magic of the Elves is.
Aurdis then waved her hand. A silvery glow that looked like a soft shawl radiated from her hand toward the three clones.
What happened next was, the three clones instantly shattered into fragments of silvery light. Then it disappeared into thin air.
"Their task is done," said Aurdis with a satisfied smile.
"They really made up for everything we had to do for the past few days, right?" Billy asked with a look that seemed to ask for certainty.
Aurdis answered it with a nod accompanied by a smile that remained on her face. She didn\'t even take long to answer. Indicates that she is certain.
"You don\'t need to worry about anything at all. To trick humans, the clones won\'t be found out," Saeldir replied.
They then plopped down on the couch. They stared at the ceiling of the house with empty eyes.
It\'s all over and they\'re home. Now they feel immeasurable relief.
A few minutes later, after just sitting in silence, Adrien was the first to stand up.
"I have to go to my own house now," Adrien said.
"Take care, Captain," Erend said.
Adrien nodded. Then get out of the house. After traveling on a very dangerous mission, of course, he wanted to return with his family.
A few minutes later it was Billy\'s turn to sigh and stood up.
"I\'m going home too," he said. "Good night. Thanks for your help."
After thanking Aurdis and Saeldir, Billy also left the house.
"What are you going to do now?" Erend asked the two Elves who were still sitting lazily on the couch.
"I think I\'ll take a little more rest. While checking roughly how much longer it will be until Magic\'s awakening in this world occurs," Saeldir said.
After a while, he stood up and walked toward the room he previously occupied.
Now only Aurdis and Erend were left in the living room. Aurdis\' eyes looked droopy because she also still felt tired.
"You should sleep too," Erend said while looking at Aurdis.
"In a moment," Aurdis said. "Hey, where does your family live?"
"Uhh... My family lives in a slum."
Hearing that answer, Aurdis\'s brow furrowed deeply. "Why?"
"Well, I guess I haven\'t told you how my family really is."
And so, Erend started to tell how his family was. Also, how did he finally get drafted as one of the soldiers fighting the Elf?
Aurdis\' expression fell into one of obvious shock and disappointment.
But soon that expression turned to sadness.
"I didn\'t know you had such a hard time since childhood," Aurdis said with a sad face.
But Erend only smiled. Of course, she will never feel it. She is a princess after all.
"That was before. Now, our situation is much better," said Erend. "We got this nice house. And I also have a good-paying job."
Aurdis was only able to show a smile when he saw Erend who looked better. Even if it\'s just a small smile.
"That\'s good," Aurdis said.
Actually, Aurdis still felt sad about Erend\'s fate. He had lived a very difficult life since he was young.
And even when he grows up, he must be willing to be forced to go to war and risk his life for his country.
All of that, of course, cannot be redeemed with just a house and a well-paid job.
But, Erend seems to have been able to accept all that. So, Aurdis will also accept it.
"I want to meet your family," Aurdis suddenly said. Her face showed enthusiasm.
Erend blinked a few times. "W-what? Why?"
"Well, I just wanted to say hello."
Erend didn\'t know what to do. Was allowing Aurdis to meet his family a good thing?
But, actually, there\'s nothing really bad about letting her meet them.
Maybe something that would be a pain would be explaining who Aurdis really was.
"But... Are you sure? I\'m not sure how my family would react if they saw an Elf suddenly appear in front of them," Erend said carefully so as not to offend Aurdis.
But Aurdis just smiled and took a chuckle out.
"I will use a disguise. So your family will only see me as a human woman," Aurdis said.
"Well... Then I guess it won\'t be a big deal," Erend said.
"Then it\'s decided." Aurdis stood up from the couch. "I\'m going to go rest first. Unless there\'s something you want to say."
Aurdis stared at Erend for a few moments. Her eyes looked as if she was waiting for Erend to say something. But she also not too hopeful.
"No, you can sleep now," said Erend.
Aurdis nodded and smiled. "good night."
Aurdis walked towards the room she was staying in. Leaving Eren alone.
"I guess I still have time to do the Daily Quests I missed."
Erend then contacted Tut and asked him to take him to Eternal Earth to do the Daily Quest.
[ "Are you sure you want to do your Daily Quest now?" ]
\'Yes. Why?\' Erend frowned at Tut\'s response.
[ "What a coincidence. There is a mess that occurred on one side of the coast of Eternal Earth." ]
\'A mess on the coast? What happened?\'
[ "The usual thing. The arrival of The Great Calamity made the creatures in the sea unstable.
So they started rising to the surface to wreak havoc."]
\'You mean those Sharkmans?\'
[ "Yes that one. This time there are more of them. Some sirens from the deep sea try to stop them. But they are outnumbered." ]
Erend took a deep breath. \'Alright. I will handle them.\'
Erend stood up from the couch. Soon a portal opened in front of him.
Erend took a step and entered Eternal Earth.
