I Became A System

Chapter 144 - Ellena's Perspective [3]

"I've already asked my parents. I know that they'll help us." Verxal said.

"Oh right. I haven't still met with your parents. Where were they?" I asked.

It took my interest actually. I've been here three times already, but I still haven't seen them. The first time I visited was understandable since I declined Verxal's offer.

It's nothing to cry over. Verxal can answer it.

"Both of them are in the capital. Noble matters."

I see... So it was understandable that I hadn't seen them yesterday.

I settled the talk for about after an hour of talking. Verxal offered up a meal but I refused. And I refused in the most respectable way. I don't want to make him feel that I am purposely declining his offers.

It's just I am still uncomfortable. Maybe in the future, if we have a chance, I will eat with him.

Comfortable you say? I don't want to practice having dinners with other people especially when they are nobles or a family. Well, there's no particular reason, but I just don't want to. It's reasonable, right?

I thought that there were things that you like for no reason and things you also don't like.

We are now on our way to the inn, and we ran into Aaron. Why was he here? Oh right! It's already late.

Before he could even speak, I already apologized to him that made the three girls surprised.

"Sorry that I made you worry. You even came to find me."

"Dumbass. You don't need to apologize. Have you eaten yet?" he asked.

I shook my head. "We just came from the Murphey Family. Unfortunately, someone came again to kill me. And much worse, they already knew my real identity."

"That person? Not the mysterious organization?"

I nodded.

"I see... So they are also speeding up their intel. Don't worry. I have a plan to lessen our enemies."

"And how will we do that?" I asked.

Aaron just made a mysterious grin. To be exact, it was filled with uncertainty to me. He was as if a mastermind of a scheme.

Well, he is literally.

"Big Sister, let's go inside first. I feel like there's someone tailing us." Thalia suddenly said.

So it seems that it wasn't only me? I thought that I had become crazy since I can feel gazes everywhere I go. But it turned out that I am still sane.

I nodded, and all of us entered the inn. We head straight to our room and in the meantime, Selena and Rosellete were with us.

"I made a gun design. And I think of making it an amplifier for your lightning ability," he suddenly said as soon as we got in.

Wait. Something is confusing me. How could he finish making a design in one day?

Oh... yeah, right. It's Aaron I was mentioning. Why did I even bother thinking of it?

"What is he talking about, Master?"

Rosellete already caught up with me talking to Aaron. So I just explained things to them, especially with guns. I made sure to give them the image so that they can catch up with the topic.

All of them nodded in unison. I guess that they understood what I said. So I just let Aaron continue his explanation.

At first, he thought of looking for a bestowal production rune owner. However, it could take much time, so he thought of making the bullets by my own ability. To be honest, I don't have an idea of what he is talking about, so I just nod and nod in his talks.

"It is hard to find a good bestowal production rune owner, so I thought that we could find one in HQ. But I just remembered that you were still not an executive so maybe that idea would be useless. So... the gun was the only thing we can create."

I already knew that he thought of gifting the technique to the maker but the way to give it is by the facade. I will act as if I had the means to give him the thing I want to make. And then make a contract with the maker so that he won't spread the information for his own benefit.

Of course, Aaron was confident that it won't be used for the maker's benefit since it's just parts but just to be sure, he thought that I should make a contract with the maker.

And when it comes to the bullets, it will be my ability. But how? Well, he describes that he'll make an insulator and a converter. Actually, I can't understand what he said, but it's not a problem for me. And apparently, he also made the technique for that.

Talking about speed, he is fast as light. How could he do things fast?

When I asked about the materials, he just remained silent. Because in reality, he still doesn't know where to get things. So another alternative emerged in his genius brain.

The gun's material should be the most durable materials. And the converter would be in my own skills.

He said that I should practice shaping into my will the lightning I'll produce. Even I can do such a feat since I tried it in the past, I don't think I can make balls of lightning.

How can I become the converter? And the technique he was talking about, was a Magic Technique.

Does he even know how to make magic techniques? I thought that he didn't know the basics of magic?

And just I was about to ask it, he shoved the idea. He already studied it early in the morning because he visited a store for magic books.

I can think that he doesn't need a specific element to study since he is a genius. And it makes things unreasonable.

"So what Aaron is saying was, he'll also make a gun for us?" Selena asked.

Apparently, yes. Aaron said that others would be needed to have guns, but it will take much time since the creation of bullets is essential. We still need to find some bestowal production rune owner.

"I am excited." I heard Thalia mumbled with a smile.

Look at this kid. She even overshadowed my excitement.

"Master, this will surely raise our power drastically. If this gun truly is powerful!" Rosellete said.

I could just smile awkwardly while looking at Aaron.

"Don't worry, it will work as I planned," he said.
