"I apologize in advance if I made you have to wait a long time, this is the first time for me to be able to walk with a friend. Next time I will be faster, I'm sorry." Astela answered modestly, lowering her head slightly.
"No, no, you don't need to apologize like that. We're not angry, don't worry." Lucia felt guilty, this was the first time they could talk intimately in person.
The reason is, the beginning of the development of their friendship started from an accidental meeting during the boss raid last night in a mid-level dungeon (level 900 boss), but it was very unfortunate.
When they fought the boss together, neither of them got any loot items. The reason is easy, many of them (other people) are already at the peak level with strength far above them.
The final level of the highest level is not 9999, but an infinite, infinite stage that cannot be calculated only by nominal numbers (∞).
Then they got to know each other, then switched to chatting on their respective gadgets and became distant friends.
Even where they live is not near Astela's modern house. Far away, in another layer of the world.
Lucia and Liza are in the same world as Astela, but on different layers. This is the world of Messorovia, a world that accommodates all humans from various races in it with unlimited layers.
Even the Timelines in each layer of the world, have infinite Timelines within them, it all includes all living creatures living in the worlds of the infinite layers.
Messorovia is not a dungeon or anything like that, but rather a world that houses the strongest beings (Gods, human kings, heroes, demons, demi-humans, elves, and so on) inside a crystal bubble or the most noble and ultimate, final level—Genezis XEnigma.
Messorovia is not included in Ascendant Creator's 10 bubble worlds, but is separate.
It's just that some of the settings are the same and some are different, each timeline that is created is very different and unlimited in itself, the modern world layer contains (ordinary humans, gods, demigods, heroes and kings) divided into 30%, the world layer is half human-animals are divided into 30%, and the elven or demon world layer is divided into 40%.
"He's right, Astela-san doesn't need to worry about that."
"Is that so ... I was a little worried about that."
"Yes, but if you don't want to make me angry ...." Liza added, urging Astela with unclear words at the end of the sentence which made Astela confused.
"Uh? What is that?"
Why does his speaking style seem deliberately like that?
Added Astela's suspicious thoughts.
"Give me the cat."
"Hey, Liza." Lucia glanced at him with a straight face.
"What? Do you want one too?" Liza replied with a flat gaze like a refrigerator that couldn't be burned by the hot fire of annoyance.
Sigh. ".... No. How long are you going to force him like that? I'm sure he won't give it to you." Lucia replied warning her, Lucia felt a little disturbed by Liza's attitude like that even though she had to accept it.
Lucia is annoyed with Liza because she insists on meeting the cat so she can play with it.
Really killed him? Hmmmmm ....
Astela who heard it could only laugh worriedly.
".... Ehhehehe ... About that ...." Turning her eyes away.
"You can't give it to me, can you?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that."
"Keep going?"
Astela tried to offer something, maybe it was time for them to develop a closer friendship. "If you want, just play at my house. You two are in the fourth world layer, right? I would be very happy if you want to play at my house."
"Yeah, you're right. But, are you sure?" Lucia tried to reassure him.
This is their first time, right? Even in the dungeon, they were just casual acquaintances, like people who asked for a number and then just walked away.
Liza added. "Is that true? It seems like it would be more fun."
No, no, that's impossible ... There's no way Liza wants to kill Charly, right? Ahahaha ... Impossible ....
Astela thought, thinking bad things about herself.
"Of course! Don't worry, I don't mind. I just want to make you my best friends." Astela replied with a smile, thinking about things that hadn't happened yet wouldn't make her feel certain that they were the ones who behaved badly.
Lucia and Liza felt happy, excited when Astela said it without force which would make their friendship stronger.
"I see. OK then, next time the two of us will play at your house. I'll definitely tell you later."
"You are very kind Astela-san ... I hope the cat doesn't run away."
"Thank you, I'm glad you want. I hope you can be friends who come to my house for the first time."
"Of course!"
"Correct."
Even though her smile is able to cover her worried face, Astela still doesn't believe or understand Liza, who continues to insist on wanting Charly.
Oh my ... I don't understand why Liza really wants Charly. What's actually going on with their relationship? Is there something the two of them are hiding from me?
Astela looked at Charly for a moment, not knowing what to say. Charly could only return his gaze in silence and suddenly asked him a question.
"Astela-sama." Charly exclaimed.
"Uh? What's wrong Charly?"
"Do you really want to bring them here later?"
"Yeah, so what? Will that make you feel burdened, Charly? Don't worry, I'm sure he won't do that to you." Astela answered while stroking Charly's head gently.
"No, there's no problem at all. I just wanted to ask, nothing more than that."
"Hmmmmm okay, you don't need to worry like that, okay? Everything will be fine, really—"
Suddenly, with a high tone, Liza interrupted the conversation between the two of them.
"Why? Are you afraid to meet me, house cat?!" Liza exclaimed, making Charly immediately look at her.
Charly spoke to herself, annoyed with Liza.
Tchh, you Heavenly Ice Dragon Queen ….!
"What were you talking about just now?" Liza asked, feeling suspicious.
Oh, I see. It turns out this kid can hear it even though it's still faintly visible ... Interesting, kid! There's no mistaking it, he is ....
"Yeah, I can hear it although it's not clear enough for me to read it well."
Liza's conversation made Lucia and Astela confused and felt strange, even though Charly didn't speak at all.
"Eh, Eh? What are you two talking about?" Astela replied, turning to Charly and Liza confused.
"Wait ... You can talk to him?" Lucia asked.
"Right, so what?"
"How could that be?"
"You can do it!"
Astela, who was very curious, immediately asked Charly.
"Hey, Charly. What are you talking to him about?"
Charly was silent, Liza and Charly's gazes met each other, in fact both of them remained silent and did not utter the curse words that could come out of their mouths at any time.
However, suddenly Charly raised his voice and spoke.
"We were both just thinking about what would be the best food to eat when we meet later. We didn't talk about anything else, right Liza Frostvin ...?"
Astela and Lucia looked at the two of them, waiting for what Liza would say, Liza was still silent and looking at him.
Then Liza slightly raised her mouth to speak.
"That's right, he's not wrong."
Instantly, Astela and Lucia could only take a deep breath, because seeing Liza's behavior made them feel tired because it seemed as if they were going through an endless ordeal.
".... I guess what."
Astela and Lucia patted his head gently.
"That's all ... Enough Liza!" Lucia shouted at her a little, as a result Liza stopped a little and moved away from the monitor screen.
Haahhhh ... Whether this is true or not, it seems like a fight took place that I can't tell from this conversation. I don't really understand what it means ....
Astela held her head, Astela's mind answered confused because she couldn't hold back the thoughts that made her not understand this.
Astela added, breaking the silence with a sweet smile on her cheerful lips.
"I didn't expect to find friends like you two who went to the same school as me. I'm happy!"
"Yeah, yeah, I didn't even know that you also went to school there, even when I first saw you when fighting that boss. I felt like you had something in common with us, always fighting alone without a party." Lucia said, feeling happy even though Astela felt the same way because she always tried herself.
This happened so quickly, this meeting made them feel confident that this was the fate that deserved to be given to the three of them to become friends.
"Then let's go immediately." Liza said reminding him.
"Oh yeah. Come on, Astela-san."
"Okay! Then, see you there, okay?" Astela nodded.
"Okay." Lucia and Liza nodded.
Lucia added. "Be careful, ok."
"Yes!"
Video call disconnected ....
Astela immediately said goodbye to Charly. "Yosh! Thank you for today, Charly. I'm leaving first ... I hope you're not sad at home alone. Bye, bye ...." Astela waved her hand while smiling at Charly.
Charly responded with a wave of her hand.
Instantly the blue light took Astela away quickly, Astela immediately teleported to the train stop where Liza and Lucia were waiting for her there.
Maybe most people want to walk because it's close even though they have to go through a dimensional portal first, but Astela, who feels too late, immediately uses her ability to teleport easily and arrive safely.
Because everyone in the Messorovia world has abilities like this without exception (depending on their individual wishes).
Charly felt relieved, even though it looked unpleasant.
"It's really troublesome ... I don't know what else to do. But ...." Charly went back to the window and looked up at the sky.
I hope everything will be fine even though I feel like something very bad will happen soon ... I don't know what it is ... Maybe, I should observe him first before I tell and convince him ....
This is too difficult to understand for me despite having knowledge of this world ... An unreasonable power ... Great, far, beyond power itself that cannot be defined.
