Chapter 27: life without Master shiori
Back the ethereal city..
Everyone was doing well. The official palace for the ethereal city was almost finished, as for the members of the white lotus, each one was lost in their own mission ordered by their master.
Ryuchi's pov
I stood on top of a tree branch, watching over the Goblins I've been training as guards for the new palace as well as some new recruits that were slaves from the closest crimson cross outposts.
"Everything is going smoothly. our numbers are growing, soon everyone will know our name and fear our master" I grinned at the thought as I ate a pressimon.
So far I'm more skilled in combat and translating memory information. I'm working on that for now. I just hope the others are doing well....
I leapt down with my sword in hand
Haru's pov
I sat in the garden, clearly up and transplanting the flowers and herbs in planting pots to replant in the soon to be finished palace garden.
Thanks to Using magic and some help from some of the servants, things went on smoothly.
I had read some of shiori-sama's memories on gardening and studied agriculture to aid the crop ordeals in the ethereal city embassy.
Most of these flowers (roses, dandelions, sunflowers, lotuses) are major ingredients in the creams and ointments shiori-sama used in her previous world. I believe she called them skincare products.
I just invested and researched on the process to crate them, working together with kyokota as well as a member in the research department. we tried a few samples on some volunteers but they ended up having serious side effects such as rashes and inflammation.
"This is terrible~!" I whined as I buried my face on the table.
Not even ice-cream could help my sadness.
"We managed to heal them though so they'll be fine" kyokota one of the members of the research department said in an aloof tone.
"I know, but... I really want to make it work, shiori-sama is counting on me..." I muttered
He took our experiment notes and read through them.
"Maybe, what if we use alveoli to get a much more soothing effect and a small amount of mana for healing the dry/ damaged skin" he suggested
"That could work!" I beamed
"Then let's get to work..." He yawned walking to the research lab as I skipped behind him with my ice-cream
Kuro pov
I sat in my room with my pen and papers, writing down all my currents thoughts.
I've always adored literature even since I read her memories. I had managed to beg her to give me a bunch of novels from her previous world through her phone or so she called her device...
I read them and instantly got addicted, each genre sparked my interest, plus! The amount of stories I can create through inspiration for these ones would be an absolute hit!
I stared at the lastest one I was writing, inspired by shiori-sama herself.
Queen of supremacy
It's all about her journey into greatness, while accompanied by her devilish handsome lover, me!... Kuroha...
Just watch my queen, soon your name would be an urban legend!
Kyokota pov
I sat in the music room lost in my own thoughts. I had thought making cream and skin care products would be the perfect hobby to aid shiori-sama, but it wasn't...me...
I tapped on a white and black keys, a beautiful melody echoed through the room. Such a beautiful sound, just like the one I had heard when I had reawakened before her.
She was so gently, so Kind, yet her determination frightens me more than hell itself...
How can someone be so angelic yet scary at the same time?
I remember that beautiful song she had played just a while ago before our departure to buarheld.
Flashback....
Sitting by the river as I listened to the sounds of running Water, wandering what had happened to my before this...
Why am I so draw to her? Is it because she saved me? Is it because I'm her follower?....
Just then I heard a faint yet pleasant sound, venturing deeper into the forest I saw her standing in a field in all glory as she held and was playing a violin....
(Play song now. Counting stars, the violin version)
My eyes widened in shock and awe, she was beautiful....
Like an fairy- no....
An angel sent from the heavens themselves
I was speechless....
Her performance immediately took my breath away...
Even though she had her eyes closed, I could sense it....
The spark, the happiness, the satisfaction of her actions....
Thats it's! I don't need a reason to serve her, because it's clearly obvious....
I'm loyal to her... because she is.....
💮 {shiori-sama}💮
Flashback ends...😉
I played the songs I had learnt on the piano and smiled as a tear slid down my cheek.
"I hope you are safe, wherever you are.... "
Master...
Shiori's pov
I sneezed, it was as if someone was thinking about me.
The doctor said I'd caught a nasty bug bit fine after that. Now I'm suck in bed all day with nothing to do other than read novels.
"This sucks..." I sniffle.
"Feelings better?" Oliver asked enteringy room.
"If by that you mean feeling like my insides are rotting then yes, prefecto...." I sneezed sarcastically
"Don't look so glum, I got you something to past the time" he said handing me a new romance series.
"Forbidden hearts huh...." I stared at the title curiously
