The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 406 Basked In Moonlight

"Sir Daisuke…"

Those were the first words that came out of Lunaria's mouth after I entered her room. I remembered that I told her to drop the 'Sir' but it seems that it's back again now that she's not dealing with my Incarnation anymore.

Because of the wounds she received from the battle earlier, her right shoulder was currently bandaged. Noelle and I used our skills to heal her and even the doctors in this world used their methods to treat her. But her shoulder was too banged up when one of the Specialized Darkgens pierced through the cockpit of her Sapphire Moonflower.

Nonetheless, it was only bandaged at the moment because of the scar. Once it faded, she would take it off.

"You're still calling me like that?"

"Uhm. I can't help it. You're a Transcendent. You're even the reason why I'm still alive. If not for you…"

"Alright stop. So you think our interaction through my Incarnation doesn't count, huh?... Anyway, you know why I'm here, right? And seeing how you can't seem to calm down… I'll help you by standing here."

Instead of approaching her, I stayed where I was. We actually had a great rapport whenever my Incarnation would spend some time with her. Especially whenever I would show up on the Aegis Battalion's Training Grounds where they continued perfecting what I imparted to them.

Lunaria would often stay by my side by herself while Lexie would be busy drilling the Core Pilots and Elite Members of the Battalion. For her to act like this again… I guess it's the same as with Leianne.

"Huh? No. You're not the reason for this…" Lunaria immediately denied it.

I waved my hand and just smiled at her. "No matter. We cannot talk properly if you're like that anyway. Let's talk about other things." Although she looked like she was about to burst into tears, I did the opposite of what I said and approached her and crouched in front of her. Taking her hand on mine, I watched how her face went under different types of expressions before it settled on one. She exhaled and calmed herself down before a smile dawned on her face.

"Thank you…" She whispered calmly with the hint of sweetness.

In this way, our conversation became smooth. With my eyes firmly staring at her, Lunaria tried her best to keep her cool as we gradually went onto the main topic.

"Your mother is against this, right? It's a natural reaction from her. You're her only daughter and even though I'm strong enough, I'm already married and had a lot of women who also had the same intention of being wed with me. If you can't decide yet, it's fine. And if you want, I can talk to your mother to properly ask for your hand."

"There's no need to. I've already decided. I'll go with you and will strive to be a woman deserving of this attention from you."

"You're all deserving, you know? In fact, I'm the one thinking that I don't deserve this. You're all excellent women that no one will feel like losing out if they get close to you. However, here I am, asking all of you to become mine."

"… That's your only flaw. Otherwise, you're the perfect man that many have dreamed of. However, if they can choose to be with you despite knowing everything, why can't I?... As I said, I already decided. Please take care of me, Daisuke."

At the same time as she said that, from the glass window, the moon as if being influenced by her Ability, shined brightly as it basked Lunaria in its light. Her sapphire blue hair and purple eyes were highlighted giving her a more holistic look, coupled with her clear smile, Lunaria's breathtaking beauty was fully captured in my eyes.

Following that, the notification of her being added as my Companion rang out. On her part, she certainly received it as well, however, her eyes were focused on me, waiting for my answer.

"Definitely. Let me take care of you from now on." Lifting her hand to my lips, I smiled and planted a kiss on it as I kept my eyes on her.

Following that, I stayed a little more than ten minutes with her.

Spending that little time together, I promised her that I will still talk to her mother. There's no turning back anymore, that's why I should at least give the Matriarch proper respect for taking the hand of her precious daughter.

Upon leaving Lunaria's room, I left her Energy Stones for her to use after her Transcendence. I also gave some to Leianne and I had her call for the Door of Transcendence. This time, I also told Lunaria to do it.

With the upcoming addition of Elise and Dannae, in three days, seven Doors of Transcendence will appear in this world.

For sure, everyone in the Free City was already aware of the sudden appearance of two illusory Doors of Transcendence. Even my Companions who were probably in their Absorption Session using the stones and the Special Absorption Rooms to quicken the process were already aware that I was down here, taking in new Companions.

If the ones at the Moon were watching us, there's no way they wouldn't be aware of it.

It's already been hours since those Darkbugs retreated. If their failed leader was proven wise then he would start thinking about what went wrong with their operation. There's also the possibility that they would trounce him out completely after repeated failures. Now, these illusory Doors of Transcendence which would continuously appear in the city's night sky would add an alarm in their minds.

Before they could be completely horrified at their upcoming fates, I planned to deal with the Healing Faction first. Despite standing down, their mothership was hovering above the settlement after all.

Once Leianne got us the information and Krond finally gave in that he wouldn't be able to protect every Anzeans, especially those against this world, I will personally see to it that the Healing Faction will be no more before the dawn breaks.

Their mothership. Well... I somewhat covet it. Although there's a possibility that there's that kind of technology hidden on Earth, having it as a reference for the Space Vessels that could be used for traversing different World Zones is great. Most likely, the information gathered by the astrologers of Earth about outer space was insufficient. Not only Irja but also Alwyn confirmed the chaotic nature of Space. Sooner or later, we might also need to dive into that. It's better to be prepared for it.

"Elise, can I come in?" Knocking quietly at her door, I found out that it wasn't really closed.

Pushing it slightly, I was met welcomed by Elise's figure standing by the glass window. She's staring into the horizon, in the direction where Eldur was located.

"You don't need to ask me. You know I am waiting for you, Daisuke. Come and join me…" She slightly turned her head for our gaze to meet before beckoning me towards her.

Upon hearing that, I entered her room and gently closed it. Unlike the first two, this woman was naturally the one with the greatest apprehension about this. Nonetheless, I still stand by my decision to take her in as my Companion.
