Pick Me Up!

Chapter 92: Niflheimr (4) (2)

Chapter 92: Niflheimr (4) (2)

Nislade, bring tea and snacks.

Yes.

The girl approached expressionlessly.

Pleased to meet you.

She bowed to me and left the garden with an empty teapot. In less than 10 seconds, she returned with a tray containing snacks and the teapot.

After Nislade went back to the entrance, I said, Dont you guys disdain me?

What do you mean?

I didnt think it would be unreasonable to get stabbed as soon as I arrived.

I didnt raise heroes and operate the waiting room out of affection. I thoroughly examined efficiency and value, and if they fell short, I dropped them, and if they excelled, I promoted them. All the welfare facilities here were for combat efficiency and stress management, not built with heroes benefits in mind.

Yurnet, who had been listening, smiled faintly. Youve used us as chess pieces in the long run.

Yeah.

Where is the resentment or not? Master never discriminated against us, always gave us opportunities, and led us to victory with sound judgment.

Yurnet gently touched the flower bud on the table.

If it werent for Master, our Niflheimr would have rotted away long ago. Me, and everyone else.

, I remained silent.

That alone qualifies you.

If she thinks so.

I might find it hard to understand, but theres no need to argue if she believes it.

Anyway, its an honor to meet you like this, Master Loki. Ive been looking forward to this day. Youre as dignified and magnificent as I imagined.

Yurnet stood up from her chair and offered her greetings once again.

I took a sip of tea. It felt quite unfamiliar.

Its late tonight. Ive prepared a mansion for you on the 13th floor, so please stay there, and come back tomorrow morning. Ill call Ridgion as well.

A mansion? So you even thought of that?

Ive prepared a place only for Master. Its right in the center of the 13th floor.

I looked up at the sky. It was a grayish black with some streaks of gray.

Observationally, the evening had passed. Jenna and Aaron would probably be preparing to spend the night in the dormitory of the training camp.

Im fine with the dormitory at the training camp.

Yurnet tilted her head.

I have no intention of sleeping in the mansion.

The meaning is.

I was once a master, but not anymore. There is no need to treat me so kindly.

I drank all the tea.

So youre going back to the second floor?

Yes.

I prepared everything diligently even a welcome party

A welcome party?

Observing all the victories Master has achieved

Its an embassy.

Too bad.

Yurnet said.

Anyway, I understood Masters intention well. Since you are nominally a trainee in Townia, you want to be active on the second floor, right? It seems well have to go down to the second floor

Dont bother to come.

Then how will I be of help to Master? I have a lot to say and tell

After training schedules. When its free time. We can meet then.

Free time is given in the evening.

It wont take a while to meet Yurnet then.

Hmm

Yurnet, who had been contemplating, brightened her eyes.

Master, how about this? After sending all the recruits back

Rejected.

Well replace all the instructors. Those with bad habits

Rejected.

The dormitory at the training camp is small and plain. Can we renovate it?

Dont do that either.

The facilities at the training camp are quite excellent, at least compared to Townias current ones.

It doesnt suit the Masters dignity, Yurnet expressed her dissatisfaction with a frowning face.

I was taken aback and said, Where do you see dignity in me?

I can see it. An aura of an emperor surrounding the Master

Can you see it?

I asked Nislade, who was standing a distance away.

Im not sure.

That settles it.

When Yurnet chuckled forcefully, Nislade took a step back.

Dont get carried away.

And dont reveal my identity to the others either. I dont want to be tied down. Just let them know Im alive.

As you command.

Yurnet bowed her head.

Lets discuss this further tomorrow evening.

Understood.

I got up from my chair.

Ill open a door discreetly.

At Yurnets gesture, a dimensional portal veiled in mist appeared in one corner of the garden.

Inside the portal, I could see a corridor. It was the corridor of a training camp annex that accommodated recruits. Before I stepped through, I said, Yurnet.

Yes.

Youve done well without me.

Niflheimr is still intact.

I couldnt see every place, but I could tell that much.

The sub-master is Seris. But Yurnet is in charge of overall operations. She must have had busy days handling tasks I couldnt do.

Its an honor.

Yurnet greeted me, holding the ends of her skirt.

I have one last question.

Yes.

Is the current me still Master to you?

Of course.

Yurnet smiled lightly.

Thud!

At that moment, the garden shook violently.

Leaves and petals scattered in all directions.

Where is the Master! Yurnet!

A mans voice could be heard from afar.

Yurnet smiled.

Ridgion seems to have noticed.

I swear didnt say a word!

Thunk!

A second vibration.

The space that surrounded the garden began to distort.

Theyre breaking the barrier.

Did Ridgion have such a temperament?

I thought of him as someone who never blinked, even if all his comrades fell.

Among us, hes the one who searched for the Master the longest.

Is that so.

Do you plan to meet him?

I shook my head.

Rank 3. Theres a lot to discuss with Lydel.

But it wont be settled overnight.

I planned to create a place after I had a clear understanding of the situation.

We dont have time.

Nislade said.

Ridgion is usually calm, but once he gets excited, its hard to stop him.

Understood.

I stepped into the dimensional portal.

Mist enveloped my body, obscuring my vision.

Murmurs.

Voices of people chattering echoed.

I surveyed my surroundings. In a wide circular space, tables and sofas were spread out. Recruits dressed in various outfits were engaged in conversations.

It was the reception room of the annex.

Next to it, there were rooms for recruits to stay in.

Theyve placed me here.

Even though I appeared right next to them, no one seemed to find me strange.

It seemed like a blend of illusion magic.

The third floor of the training camp annex.

Jenna and Aaron should be here somewhere.

If youre looking for your companions, its this way, Nislade pointed to the stairs.

Why did you follow me?

For the safety of you master.

Dont worry. If anyone lays a hand on you, Ill break their necks.

Thats exactly what Im worried about.
