To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 48: Autumn

There have been a lot of things that have happened during Elisa's last four months at Giant Leaf Woods.

Initially arriving at West Station, it took two weeks for a party to recruit her. The early days were really difficult. Everyone seemed to ignore her existence, just because she was a young Hunter.

Her adventure began when she was recruited by Randi and continued with them until she became close to Ars.

Speaking of Ars, she hadn't seen that cold man in quite a long time. Maybe he was still trying to master the Abyssal Art.

Even for the genius Elisa, it took her a year to take the safe path of learning the Abyssal Art until she fully mastered it.

Summer turns into autumn. The West Station got covered by fallen Giant Woods leaves.

Elisa has just finished completing her part in Community Service. Together with a team that given a section behind the main road block.

The last task of the team is to burn the collected leaves. How to burn it is by relying on the power of a Caster which will instantly burn all the leaves to ashes.

The Caster pointed her wand at the cluster of leaves, then chanted, "Begone, fuckboy!"

In an instant, flames shot out from the magic wand, then burned all the leaves in no time.

"Why fuckboy?" Elisa asked in wonder.

Caster and Priest are mostly women. The two classes are filled with beautiful women who are strong and can heal. Because of their small number, they are very much needed, and a party wouldn't easily let them go.

But Elisa didn't think there were male Hunters who would betray them.

Suddenly, a door behind the inn opened. A man walked out the door. Before the man left, a woman intercepted him.

The woman was in the shadows, so Elisa couldn't see her face. But passionately, the woman brought her face closer to the man, then said:

"Will you come again tonight?"

"Yeah, I think."

"Okay, I'll wait. One last thing."

The woman pulled the man into the shadows. Then they did what seemed like a kiss.

"Have a nice day."

The woman entered the inn. The man walked out without saying goodbye.

"Ars?" called Elisa to the man.

Ars turned to Elisa. "Oh, it's you."

The cold man greeted back as if he was innocent.

"Who was the woman just now?"

"Nobody."

Cheating. There are no other words that can describe the incident just now other than cheating.

Even though that cold man already has Elisa. Even though they both had slept in one bed. Even though Elisa was waiting for the cold man to return.

"You fuckboy!"

Elisa shouted that one word, then ran somewhere.

The incident caught everyone's attention. Especially for men. They cursed Ars for not being content to have only one woman, when they didn't have one at all.

Elisa didn't know why she was running. Even though they did not make a formal agreement to become a couple. Although from the start they also didn't agree on anything about having affection for each other.

Was that special feeling is just Elisa alone? She could not confirm that, unless Ars spoke about it with her. Unfortunately - "Why don't you come after me?!"

At night, Elisa peeked at the inn's eatery where Ars was staying.

Elisa could see Ars was at one of the tables. He sat alone close to Randi's group table.

If she doesn't see it wrong, Elisa saw the woman who was with Ars this morning wearing maid clothes. She immediately detected the presence of all the servants who were all women. There were three of them, no wonder, all three of them had beautiful faces, and all three of them were mature women. Unlike Elisa, who is still a schoolgirl.

Still focused, suddenly someone called her.

"Can I help you?"

"!?"

Elisa got caught by one maid, then got brought into the eatery.

Elisa's arrival gave a surprise to Randi's group.

"Hey, Elisa!"

"Hey-hey, come here!"

"Come eat with us!"

Bella brings a little Priest to Ars's table. She quite surprised. It turned out that Ars kept a beautiful girl in his group. The Priest girl also showed a pissed expression at Ars.

'Well, he's a great guy after all.' Bella fair-minded, then left them and went to the back.

Elisa sat at the same table as Ars. Sitting on the chair opposite the cold man.

Elisa tried to calm down. Maybe there is a logical explanation that Ars can give about the incident that morning.

"I asked once again, Ars, who and what is your relationship with that woman this morning?"

Elisa tried to speak as quietly as possible, not wanting to attract attention. But Ars's answer surprised her.

"I said it's nothing. Besides, why are you bothered by such a small thing? You're not my mother."

Elisa's chest felt as if she had just been stabbed by a knife. Those words were harsh and Elisa couldn't hold back the pain.

Elisa got up from the chair, making Randi's group's attention focused on her.

"What's the matter, Elisa?" asked Dwi.

Not answering, Elisa ran out of the shop. Raise concern.

"Hey, where are you going?!"

"Waz wrong with her?"

Dwi and Nanda chase after Elisa. The rest looked to Ars, who caused Elisa's departure.

"The fuk did you do to her?!"

"Elisa, wait!"

Outside, Elisa ran into the girls-only dormitory building next to the inn.

The next day.

"Where is she?"

Elisa wasn't there when their party was about to go hunting.

"She definitely doesn't want to come out of the inn!"

"It's because of you, Dragon!"

"Yes, because of you!"

Randi also asked him. "What were you talking about last night, Ars?"

Ars didn't answer the question, then went to the dormitory building where Elisa lived.

The dormitory building was not much different from other lodging buildings. Only its use was different, and that hostel managed by the [Sylvia Shield Family].

Ars knocked on the skull of the monster at the front door. The skull serves to send a loud sound into the building.

The door opened, a nanny appeared.

Ars was wearing [King Bear Cloak] and all black clothes. As well as the two Bear Beast Blade on his right waist. His appearance was like a Gold Hunter, even though he was still Silver.

"Can I help you, Mr. Gold Hunter?" asked the Nanny.

"Tell Elisa, Randi called her."

"Oh my, understood."

The nanny went back inside. A few moments later, the door opened again and brought Elisa to Ars.

Elisa quickly closed the door again, but Ars immediately held the door with his hand.

"What do you want?!" asked Elisa angrily.

"Wasn't Randi has said we're going to go -"

"Don't Wanna!"

Ars doesn't understand. Why is Elisa mad at him? Even though he has done nothing yet.

"Is it because of yesterday morning?" asked Ars guessing.

Elisa's push from the door gets weaker. That means Ars guessed right.

Ars sighed. That's why he doesn't like dealing with girls who are younger than him. Their unstable attitude can sometimes irritate him.

"She is a Priest who specializes in massage. I'm just asking her services to massage my body. "

"Really?"

Elisa was hooked. Although Ars lied about two things.

"Then why did she kiss you?"

Bella did that when they separated yesterday morning. "She just whispered about a certain medicinal cream. She said it was expensive and rare, so she gave me a choice if I should buy it. "

Elisa stopped blocking the door. She opened the door so that the two of them could meet face to face.

The girl's face was quite messy, it was very obvious that she had just gotten out of bed.

"Then, have you given the answer?" Elisa asked wistfully.

"You want to come or not. Otherwise I'll find another Priest - "

"Wait! Yes, I want!"

Elisa went back inside to get ready.

Elisa returned after preparing herself. On the way, a cart containing her party members was waiting.

"Hey, Elisa!"

"Hey-hey!"

"Let's go!"

That cheerful invitation made Elisa feel away.

The girl immediately ran behind the cart. In the back, she met the cold man who was chatting with the party leader.

Shockingly, the cold man reached out for Elisa.

Elisa accepted the helping hand, showing an expression that still pissed. Ars replied to this by pulling Elisa flying inside.

"Waaaa!"
