My Magical System

Chapter 262: Azure and Amber

After they finished their porridge, Eman received an indirect praise from his sister, who was wondering at the delicious taste of it. She didn’t expect her brother could cook such a delicious porridge.

Eman just smiled. After putting away the dishes, he told Eina that he would go out for a bit. He said he was just visiting a friend. Although skeptical, Eina nodded at her brother. Eina was left with Sky.

Knowing Sky, she must have invited Eina to watch anime by this time, Eman thought as he walked outside.

He had to visit Elder Dark Priest first to find out about what he was doing. He could not take Eina with him there because she might just get scared if she saw Elder Dark Priest’s frightening works.

While walking under the woods, a nice breeze caressed his skin. He also heard the sounds of birds around. The faint rustle of his people who were busy with what they were doing around this time also reached his ears. He also heard the cries of the animals that his people were slaughtering at this time.

His hearing had improved again.

Nonetheless, it seemed like the village chief seemed to have been preparing a big feast for tonight, Eman whispered in his mind.

.....

Ahead, the smoke could be seen rising toward the sky.

Eman’s house was located 2 kilometers away from the houses of his people. It was in the western part of a large clearing inside the forest.

Due to the continuous cutting of trees around, it now looks like a loose prairie. However, some remains of the cut tree could still be seen around. The rest of their cut parts were still protruding on the ground.

With time, he believed nature would gradually rot them up until they disappear completely and the entire area around his house would become a complete meadow.

While looking around he suddenly thought of a good plan, to build his dream villa. But, that plan was only necessary if there were results for the people he secretly sent to study in different parts of the empire.

Judging from their learning speed, Eman could be sure that it wouldn’t take long for them to get results. For now, he has to wait.

While walking, he noticed that the sun was approaching dusk. He walked towards the west, where the houses of his people were. They used to build their houses nearby, but later the chief suggested that they should build their houses slightly away from their lord’s house, to give more space to their lord.

Eman didn’t really care about such stuff. This world was so big. They could build their houses wherever they want. But looking at it now, he realized the chief did a good job. Because of that, he could build his dream house no matter how he wanted.

When he was nearing the populace, he saw Eman’s energetic people doing various tasks. Others were cleaning up the surroundings using natural means while others were busy butchering livestock. He also saw the two children that Sky often plays with.

“My Lord!”

“My Lord!”

They greeted him when they saw him, then they immediately approahed him.

“Here, My lord,” said the young girl as she handed him a piece of fruit from the basket she was carrying.

Eman did not hesitate to take it and taste it. The sweet juices immediately entered his mouth.

“This is delicious, thank you,” he smiled while stroking the girl’s head.

Wow, these kids are so cute, he thought inwardly. Eman’s attention was suddenly drawn to the stuttering boy.

“U-Uhm, m-my lord, w-we wanted to give this to the princess,” he said, showing a basket of fruits and flowers in his hands.

He also noticed the girl nodding her head, showing her adorable pleading eyes.

Eman smiled. “I see. She would be happy. She was in the house together with Sky. Go, visit them.”

“Really?” Their eyes sparkled.

“Mhm!”

Seeing his nod, the two disappeared in front of him like a wisp of smoke. They must be very excited to see Eina. They run like a ninja, following the course he used to arrive here.

Pft.

He chuckled at them.

Anyway, what’s their name again? He forgot. He remembered his people decided to change their names the way they wanted.

Nearing the populated area, Eman decided to hide his presence by avoiding other people seeing him.

He didn’t walk on the main road. Instead, he jumped on the trees to arrive at the road that leads to the northern area.

After leaping a tree, he noticed two silhouettes ahead of him.

When his feet landed, two figures also landed at the same time.

“Eh?!!” The two were startled.

“Relax, Azure, Amber,” Eman immediately said.

Hearing his voice, they quickly called out at the same time.

“My lord!”

Eman’s mouth extended to both sides, then curled upward. “You two, thanks for keeping my sister safe.”

Eman noticed their presence, that’s why he chose to come here.

He gave the two of them a secret task before. It was to secretly guard his sister.

However, they were not allowed to approach her if it was unnecessary.

“No, my lord. We’re glad to guard the princess,” said Azure.

“He’s right, my lord. Please let us guard her for the rest of our lives.”

“.....”

“I see. If that’s what you wish for...” Eman nodded at them. “Anyway, take these...” Eman gave them some items.

Eman handed Azure a rare bow and epic-tier armor; they were the items he won from playing the gacha. Then he handed Amber an armguard, armor, and a pair of daggers.

“Wow!” The two looked at the items with sparkling eyes.

“Also, these...” Eman also gave each of them a White Magic Cryst.

“Thank you, my lord,” the two bowed ninety degrees.

Yman just smiled. They quickly wore the armor.

The color of the armor also matches their names. He chose to give those weapons to the two based on his observation of their attributes. Since Azure’s dexterity was high, a long-range type of weapon suited him. Amber has high agility and strength. Any weapon would suit her, especially melee-type weapons.

After wearing the armor and testing their weapons in the air, the two bowed once again and said their thanks.

Eman just nodded.

“By the way, My lord, are you heading to the Dark Priest domain?” Azure asked.

“Yeah, you two... do you want to come?” He asked.

“Eh?” The two were taken aback. They probably did not expect that offer.

Out of the blue, Amber pulled down Azure’s head. The two bowed 90 degrees once again. “Please, my lord, let us escort you,” Amber said.

Eman smiled and nodded. “Yeah, let’s go.”
