Novel Full Chapter 132 Insufficient
“He seemed like a responsible guy… Who is he?” Vale asked curiously as the Elder left in the direction they came from.
“He’s Elder Richey. One of the Elders in the Ceremony Hall… He’s ]a good friend of our family. I call him uncle when we’re alone. But… Vale, are you going to keep holding my sister’s hand? Although she’s not telling you off, it doesn’t mean you should keep doing that…”
Philip asked while looking at Vale and Priscilla’s hands. They were tightly holding each other’s hand and he can’t help but feel uncomfortable about it.
Vale’s eyes widened as he realized what he was doing and quickly removed his hands from her and apologized…
“I’m sorry about that. It probably felt more comfortable than the cold bodies I’m used to—No, I mean… Ugh, Nothing… I’m not going to explain anymore.” Vale sighed at himself as he realized that talking more would just make the matter worse.
In the meantime, Priscilla couldn’t help but chuckle at Vale’s panic reaction.
“So Headmaster Jean was right…” Philip muttered while gently nodding his head.
Once more, Vale decided not to ask what he heard from the Headmaster. He had enough of this so he just shifted the topic.
“Ahem… Let’s return to our dormitory… I think that the Elder can handle this matter. It’s no longer related to us.”.
Philip didn’t mind this suggestion as he looked in the direction of the garden once more before agreeing to Vale…
“Right… Our last subject will end at one o’clock tomorrow. How about you?”
“It’s the same…” Vale answered as they started walking back.
“Good… We’ll clean the Archive Room at around 1:30 so you have to finish your lunch quickly.”
Vale nodded since ‘cleaning’ the Archive Room also means ‘watching’ the recordings so they have to be there at the same time.
They soon separated in the Seven Pillars Garden as Priscilla and Philip returned to the third and fourth rooms respectively.
After Vale entered his room, he realized that Harith and Zeno were out yet so he decided to just hide his pocketwatch in the middle of his stacked clothes.
He doesn’t really have other place he could hide this thing.
He then took a quick shower before taking a nap.
He felt more refreshed this way.
After waking up, Vale recalled the corpse that he kept inside his shadow…
He stood up to check that his door was locked and his curtain was covering the window. He didn’t want any more rumors attached to him so he has to ensure that no one watches him.
“Dark Spirit… Take the corpse out…” Vale instructed.
Since he can’t really access the “storage space” he has to communicate with the Dark Spirit first. 𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝓂
“Right, do you mind if I give you a name? Calling you a Dark Spirit seems inappropriate… Furthermore, can I see your face again? Ahem… It’s not like I want to see it and appreciate your beauty once more. I just need to be sure I didn’t make a mistake… Ah, that’s right… You have some semblance to someone I know so I just want to check… No, I’m not making up reasons.” Vale explained himself even after the Dark Spirit expressed her doubt over his reason.
Whom~
The Dark Spirit suddenly came out of his shadow bringing the cold corpse with her.
Thud…
The cold corpse rested on the floor but Vale wasn’t focused on it.
He was looking at the dark spirit that was still shrouded with dark mist so he can’t see her face.
“Dark Spirit… It’s just the two of us. Can you not hide yourself when you’re with me?” Vale asked.
The Dark Spirit didn’t immediately reply as if it was hesitating whether to show itself or not.
After some hesitation, the Spirit agreed and Vale saw the dark mist slowly dissipating.
Gulp…
Vale couldn’t help but feel excited as he gradually saw the heavenly appearance of the spirit… Her whole body was translucent but Vale can still see her face very clearly. Her long dark hair and her deep black eyes were so captivating as she was solemnly looking at him.
Vale can’t believe that such a beautiful being has infamy because of their aggressive behavior and instincts to harm mankind. He can’t believe it at all.
“Why would they call you a Dark Spirit? Aren’t you supposed to be a Celestial Spirit or something similar?” Vale asked as he waited for the unique response of the Spirit.
However, contrary to his expectation, the Dark Spirit didn’t simply reply by making him feel her intention or emotion but she suddenly started speaking!
“Dark Spirit is my race, I’m not a Celestial Spirit… I don’t have a name so you can just call me whatever you want.”
The voice from the Celestial—No, from the Dark Spirit sounded so ethereal and Vale was unable to immediately react.
He wasn’t even sure at first whether the voice came from the Spirit or not in those few seconds!
After a few moments of realization, Vale took a deep breath to collect his thoughts.
“Then, let me give you a name…” Vale can think of many female names if he wanted to but there are only a few names that he was greatly accustomed to. One of them is Alexa…
However, calling her Alexa might feel a bit weird.
Vale hesitated for a moment as he observes the spirit floating in front of him…
This spirit is indeed kind of translucent all over her body but around her feet, it had almost turned transparent… She was also completely naked and what was helping Vale from having some reaction was her really long hair that is covering some parts of her body.
“Lotus… Black Lotus–No, just Lotus… I will call you Lotus from now on, is that alright?” Vale asked after thinking for a moment.
“Lotus? It’s fine… Is it the name of your past lover?” Lotus, the Dark Spirit, asked without any hesitation.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Vale didn’t expect such a question coming from her. He didn’t think that this Dark Spirit had such a communication skill!
It appears that his knowledge of the Spirit World is greatly insufficient!𝘪𝑟.𝘤𝑜𝘮
