To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 73: Let's Head to Floor 2

"Is there anything left behind?"

In front of the Girls Hunter Dormitory, Nanny helps Elisa pack her bags.

Elisa found all her items already in the bag. "It's all inside." She then looked at Nanny with a hint of sadness on her face.

"Come here."

Nanny invited Elisa into her arms. They embraced with a sense of pain that must be endured.

"Thank you for this half year."

"You're welcome."

Heavy enough to let go of someone who is comfortable by your side.

Nanny is a woman who accepts all female hunters in her attention, especially good girls like Elisa.

During the half year Elisa lived in the dormitory, they made many happy memories. Because of that, it's difficult for Nanny to hold back her tears when her daughter wanted to return to her home.

[In one hour the Gondola Lift will depart for the 2nd Floor. Hunters who have reserved seats, please get ready for departure.]

Announcements from the guild voiced throughout the Station.

Nanny took her hug from Elisa. Finding her daughter shed tears on her beautiful face.

"Aw, look at you."

Nanny took a handkerchief and wiped away Elisa's tears.

"You will meet lots of people, don't make your face messy."

It's so hard not to cry. But Nanny doesn't want to regret Elisa's decision.

"Have you got the information regarding the schedule for the party that wants to go to Shield City?"

On her way back to Shield City, Elisa must not let herself go alone. That's why at least she had to join a party that had the same goal with her.

"Not yet, but I'll be looking for them at Adam's Root Station later."

"If you say that, that means you can do it yourself."

Nanny remembered when the girl first came to the West Station. She is a girl with a high ego. It's hard for her to socialize with that attitude. She was able to get to West Station because Sylvia Shield's trusted person delivered her.

But now she has changed. The girl had a gentler expression and was able to be friendly to others. Because of that, Nanny could see the girl leaving calmly.

"Okay, I'm going!"

Elisa waved as she walked away from the dormitory. Nanny returned the wave of the hand with teary eyes.

"Looks like you've grown up during that adventure with that Young Master in this half a year."

As the mother of the Dorm, Nanny knows anything, even though her children try to hide their stories from her.

But she was not angry. As a good mother, she will only watch their progress from behind. And provide support when they need it.

_________

Elisa walked away, still holding back her tears.

Nanny is the softest mother figure she has ever known. She regretted that they only had the chance to be together for half a year.

Actually, she could stay longer on the First Floor, but her beloved one, Ars, said he wanted to descend to the Lower Floor.

"Are you ready?"

Elisa had no other choice but to follow him.

"Hmph!"

Although Elisa is still upset because Ars said that out of the blue.

It happened yesterday, the afternoon after that man recovered from feeling depressed. He said:

"I want to go downstairs."

This certainly surprised Elisa.

"Because of that, you don't have to follow me anymore."

"Ha?"

It stunned Elisa. After all that they went through, Ars said that Elisa didn't need to follow him anymore.

"I'm going to Saint Arcane Church. Therefore - "

"To Shield City!"

That is where Elisa grew up. Elisa certainly surprised once again after Ars said he wanted to go there.

"Why?" asked Ars, confused. Then he realized something. "On second thought, I want you to come along. Come with me."

Ars said that with full seriousness in his eyes.

After all things happened, Elisa didn't want to be immersed in that hypnosis of those sharp red eyes. But her heart said different.

"F - fine if you say that!"

There they were, now the two of them sat in the Station Center seats, waiting for the Gondola Lift to depart.

Silence struck between the two of them. Elisa didn't want to talk because she was still upset. Ars just didn't want to waste his energy to talk.

"Ars?"

Someone suddenly called Ars.

They are three women. Elisa knew them. They are the servants of the ordinary inn where Ars lived.

"Eh, it's him!"

"I didn't recognize him because of his appearance."

Two of Bella's friends commented on Ars's ordinary appearance.

For one reason, Ars wears ordinary clothes at that time. Even though he usually wears expensive clothes that make him look cool.

Bella came over with a question. "You and, Priest of the party. Where do you want to go?"

Ars got up, "You came at the right time," then approached Bella.

For one reason Ars started talking quietly so Elisa couldn't hear them.

"I'm going downstairs, and maybe not coming back here for a very long time."

Bella's friend 1 caught Ars's point. "Ooh, so you're aiming for the deepest places of the Abyss too."

"I thought he was that kind of Hunter too," said Friend 2.

Ars's expression told the truth.

It was shocking enough for Bella, but she didn't feel sad.

"That's alright, if that's what you want," Bella replied with a soft smile.

"Eh, you don't want to show at least a little rebellion, Bella?"

"That's right, even though you are not the only one for him, you are still an intim- very close couple."

The relationship between Ars and Bella is so close. If they didn't hide their relationship, and started living side by side, maybe people would think that they were a newly married couple.

"Well, he is a man, he decides what he wants. Moreover, since the beginning, neither of us had ever decided on a commitment. "

"I'm going to miss your massage."

Bella laughed with amusement because of Ars's funny attitude.

From behind, Elisa just watched the incident with unblinking eyes.

"Maybe I'll try to go downstairs and find you in the future, then."

"Then, look for the person who knows me as the Greedy Young Master -"

Two of Bella's friends suddenly shocked. "Did he just say Greedy Young Master?"

"Tell them that I know you. And give this message, 'How many A- did you get back in high school?'"

"How can you joke like that with a monotonous face?!"

Bella laughed again at the joke, and Ars's monotonous face brought the joke.

"But, that's what made me fall to you."

Ars did not reply to those romantic words. He still had his monotone expression, as usual.

[In ten minutes the Gondola Lift will depart for the 2nd Floor. Hunter who have reserved seats please get ready for departure.]

"It is a sign that you must go"

Bella said so, but she still wanted to keep looking at Ars, who was going away from her.

"Then I -"

Ars wants to turn around. Quickly, Bella grabs him and steals a kiss that Elisa can't see.

Elisa was even more astonished. Bella's two friends are amazed.

"Wow, is this what they called 'you have to show dominance in the area that you own'?"

Bella just kissed goodbye. But Ars didn't like that.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot that you Asian don't like these things."

Yeah, it's just not proper to kissing in public.

After showing dominance, Bella decided to go first from the place. Before leaving, she gave her greetings to Ars, and the rival Priest Girl.

"Have a great journey, you two."

Bella left with a feeling of satisfaction on her face.

"Hey, Bella, did you forget your opponent is just a little girl?"

After leaving, Ars returned to their seats and brought their two bags.

"Let's go."

Elisa was still dumbfounded, but she followed Ars from behind. Of course, with high curiosity.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?"
