Chapter 486 Aren’t They A Bit Too Strong?
—–
Rose and Josuke quickly began explaining to Reagan, Hellberos, and Albert what they saw from Elayne and her two friends, Rita, and Mark. They explained them from the Magic Weapons and Armor, to their incredible abilities with Magic, their Familiars, Spirits, and that one Divine Power Elayne possessed. Of course, they also spoke about what they heard from them and the monsters they fought.
“Okay, okay! This is WAY too much information to take! Once I make this all into a document the HQ is going to go insane.” Sighed Reagan. “And… Honestly, even I am going insane right now! Aren’t they too strong?! And they just awakened? And all the powers they have… And their connection with the monster named Phantasmos… Also you said that the big bone comes from a guy named “Demon King of Death Thanatos”?! This isn’t some Dragon Quest game! What the hell is going on in here?!”
“We were honestly just as shocked as you. We barely managed to escape the Demon King’s claws before he were to catch us. He seemed, however, strangely fixated with Elayne. He really wanted to kill her in specific.” Rose was worried. “I think Elayne is… hiding many secrets from us, but no matter how much I remember her gaze, her words, and her emotions, I can never detect a hint of malice. If she’s ever hiding things from us, its because she’s afraid and may not trust us yet.”
“Or maybe… She’s worried, Mark was also that kind of man. And Rita too, despite how crazy she acted. They were all honest and humble people, too good to be honest.” Josuke said. “I believe Awakeners may have something to do with the monsters and this other world named “Arcadia”… If possible, we need to earn their trust and become their allies, even if they don’t want to join anything.”
“I agree. I sadly didn’t see any of it myself but I trust these two.” Said Albert. “And if she really helped me in putting this idiot on his place, then all for the better… Also I think these chains she put on him… They are more than that, I can feel them revitalizing my body and… giving me some new power I never thought I would have before.” Albert could feel some sort of holy spiritual power flowing through his veins, which didn’t disrupted his demonic energy either, it merged and melded with it harmoniously. “She’s probably an incredible person, someone that could… maybe save all of humanity with her powers.”
“I can’t believe someone like that came from Canada from all places! Oh man, I am so proud of my humble country! Americans are still trying to find their superman, hahaha! But we got ourselves a literal goddess!” Reagan celebrated.
However, all three of his subordinates glared at him while raising an eyebrow.
“A-Ahem! I was just joking…” Reagan sighed. “Anyways, with the current trend of creating things named Hero Guilds with Awakened people that our country has begun working on, making Elayne and her friends into our very first Hunters would be greatly beneficial…”
“I guess that can be a thing.” Rose said. “I only spent a few hours with her but… I am quite good at reading people’s emotions and thoughts through their eyes and words. I can confidently say Elayne will not be interested at all at first. She seems… very grounded. She wants a stable life and is only fighting and growing stronger to protect such a stable life. She’s a mother of a child, and wants to stay at her daughter’s side. She works somewhere, right? And she just wants to stay there. If we force her out of her comfort zone, I think she may not like it.”
“The best approach then would be a slow introduction to these things?” Reagan said. “Hah… I guess I have to calm down.”
“Yeah, you forced yourself on the when they just came out of a dungeon. They got our numbers now so there’s a possibility. Over time, the entire world will probably transform. Monsters will become common place, and hunters, normal awakened people will often fight them to protect humanity. Once we reach that moment, Elayne won’t be able to stay still. It would be better to slowly introduce her to these things and explain to her we need her help.” Rose explained.
“I understand.” Reagan nodded. “The abilities she has and the monsters coming here from the world named Arcadia, amongst many other things… We’ll need to study them separately. Let us not involve her yet. Honestly, I am afraid to make her mad. Ladies that are always nice and calm are terrifying when they get mad…”
“When are Hunters being publicly recognized though?” Wondered Josuke.
“Not any time soon, maybe in a few months from now.” Reagan sighed. “We need to gather more of them first. Making Elayne and her friends our first Hunters would surely make our country stand out quite well. Well! I’m leaving the recruiting task to you three, kids! I am already getting tons of messages from HQ and they want to check the monsters we’ve killed and all these new materials, so I’ll be out for now.”
“Alright, and our pay?” Rose asked.
“A-Ah, right, I’ll be sending it through the week!” Reagan laughed nervously.
“You didn’t forgot about it again, did you not?!” Josuke asked furiously. .𝙘𝙤𝙢
“I-I didn’t! I swear I didn’t! Anyways, bye for now!” Reagan quickly escaped from the hotel room.
BAAM!
As the door closed, the trio sighed.
“I guess it could be said our new mission is to somehow recruit her and her friends, it’s not going to be easy.” Said Albert.
“Well, we don’t exactly need to recruit them, as long as they understand that we want to be their allies it should be enough.” Rose said. “I won’t let you two force them into anything! No extortion either! I am okay with blackmailing bastards, but honest and humble people don’t deserve that!”
“Ugh, okay!” Sighed Albert, crossing his arms. “I heard you the first time, no blackmailing…”
“I bet he was thinking on doing something nasty.” Sighed Josuke.
“He’s really the vessel of a demon.” Rose said.
