Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

"I thought you two would take an hour or so but nope. A minute before the agreed time. As punctual as usual, hun."

"Time is a precious illusion, Carla. We should cherish it as much as we can."

"Niiiiiiiiihihihihhih!"

"See. Beth agrees as well. You should be punctual. Anyway, where's Alf?"

"Isabella asked him out for something so he's still back home. I think she figured out Uto is a draconian."

"Took her long enough."

She was a half-elf and strangely, she had a unique attraction towards the dragon kind. 

'She was attracted to Uto since the moment she saw him with her. Even today, when everyone was playing with Uto when she was in her iguana form, she was especially attracted to her. And after she got her familiar, Maximus the Dragonfly, she must have guessed the strange attraction she must have felt all this time, was from Uto, who was a draconian in disguise.'

Well, she had mistaken her attraction to Uto as attraction toward Alf, but now that she had actually figured it out, they would actually get closer through their similar kind of familiars, and us, of course.

"Oh, by the way, are those two really studying that seriously right after a tiring day?"

"Yup. They have been like that since a while back. Quin was here first and then I came with Zoe and Chry and they had been like this since. Med came after that but she got an urgent call so she's out talking."

"We met her. She sure feels completely different when she is doing her work, doesn't she?"

Med was an independent business owner and just considering her shops on this island, there were three of them, which was in no way a small number.

She was one of the richest entrepreneurs of the current time and the indisputable successor of her family business. She's cool, and as they said, she really is a completely different person when she is working. 

'An authoritative owner with an aura that is more prominent than her father and grandfather's. I'm really looking forward to the day I meet her for some official work as Eon. It will be fun.'

We were in a cafe near the Heliox residence right now and, this place belonged to us so this was reserved for us for tonight.

There weren't workers here tonight and Grandpa Zhen was here for us. It was nice seeing him as well.

Quin and Chry were discussing something about their politics since class homework and, well, they were actually studying. Our pure dense future couple.

Carla was here with Beth resting on one side, Zoe was playing with Rayray, and the two of us had just arrived here right before the agreed time… thankfully we finished early, or else we would have been late. She really didn't want to finish things but I convinced her that, well, we would continue after we come back.

'Haaa… it will be fun.'

-Taring~!

"Sorry, everyone. It was important. Apparently, I will be opening another store in the western streets here."

"Woooooh! Congrats Med~!"

"Nice nice~. How would you like to open the store in collaboration? We could become good business partners."

"Hmmm? Ohhh! Nice idea~! Let's start a combined business!!"

"Hmmm? Well… that was out of the blue. But, knowing you two, the idea itself doesn't sound bad. Hmmm… alright. How about we discuss this matter tomorrow?"

"Okey~!"

"I look forward to it as well Med~!"

This was a good opportunity, not for Med and Axion but for the three of us to create something unique and new of our own on this unique sky island. It will be a fun thing.

-Taring~!

"Sorry. I had this small work… hmm/ Is something happening?"

"Med's opening a new shop and we are thinking of becoming business partners~!"

"W-woah. That's big."

He came in and quickly took his seat beside Carla and without even him saying anything, Grandpa Zhen put his special coffee before him.

"Thanks, grandpa."

"You should call home. Lady Hazel would love to hear about the cool things you experienced today."

"Ah, yes! I had almost forgotten everything going on. I will do so as soon as I can."

Grandpa simply nodded and went back, and served Chry and Quin their usual snacks and teas. I know the two of them don't even know it's Grandpa Zhen… not that Quin knows him closely but she has seen him a few times so recognizes him at least.

Anyway, they were doing their work. And they looked cute.

"Alright, everyone. So, why are we here again?" Rein asked, I don't know why she asked that, but it was a question for all of us present here, which meant the two cute ones would have to end their study session now.

"To hear what Rayray stopped back then."

"Right~. Quin. Chry. Come now. Join us now~."

"Oh, yes! Coming!"

The two of them stored their books and materials and joined us with their unfinished snacks and drinks.

"Alright, Zoe? Rayray? Shall we?"

"Yes~! Let's start Rayray~!"

[[ Right. We were going to start with… can we really trust this place and the people here? This information is not something I would like just anyone to know. ]]

"Don't worry. This place and people are perfectly fine. It would be better if Moon was here as well but she will be late. Do you wanna wait or should we just start with things?"

Miss Moon was running an important errand for me and was out on the outskirts for a quick run. She will be back in a few minutes or so, but we don't have to wait for her. Grandpa Zhen will fill her in on the remaining details.

[[ What is this moon you talk about? Another one of your friends? ]]

[[ "Ah, no. Monies is his subordinate. She used to be a criminal mastermind behind a dumb bunch until a while ago but he caught her and then he found out she was some prominent person's daughter and helped her meet her father with that unique magic instead of punishing her for foolishly trying to do some demon summoning or something.

Anyway, she met her father, some things happened, and she accepted him as his master. She even took an origin oath so it's alright, right?" ]]

We made sure only he heard those things since for the two of them, Miss Moon was nothing more than a servent that I recruited who was training under Grandpa Zhen to serve me personally later.

They didn't know about her secret past the crimes that she had committed and the things related to the Reformation instigators or the summoning ritual.

They were in the dark about these things but, they knew there was something special about Miss Moon since I recruited her personally, they never questioned her origin or identity.

However, even though Rein knew a lot about her, she still didn't know the most importuned thing that made Miss Moon one of the most special beings I have met until now.

[[ "She's also a pureblood. You perhaps know her mother, Agatha, as well, right? She's a special one I found by chance, but she's a good one. It's fine to start without her-" ]]

[[ No wait wait wait… did you just say Agatha? Do you mean the <Witch of southern glacier winds>? She had a child? When?! And a pureblood?! Who's this damn wizard that damn witch fell in love with?! ]]

[[ "Her late father, of course, dummy. He was a good person." ]]

[[ What the hell… she lived for nearly three thousand years killing countless people to protect her land and then she fell for someone and gave birth to a healthy pureblood in her last days as well? She used to be one hell of a scary woman back in the day but, she was some of the most powerful and respected ones as well. To think she left a child behind, wow… but the fact that you have her as your subordinate fascinates me even more, you know? ]]

[[ "Well, you have a lot more surprises left to see if you are shocked by just this much little friend." ]]

[[ "Miss Moon is a good person~! She helps me a lot, you know Rayray~?" ]]

She was a special person that had yet to learn a lot about herself and the powers she possessed but, we will do that slowly. There was no need to be impatient in this delicate matter.

[[ Hmmmm. She sounds like an interesting person, but it's alright if we just start without her. So, for starters, let's talk about Celestine. ]]

Right. The topics we needed to discuss tonight included things regarding Celes, this new friend Rayray, and some of the things he had to tell Zoe and me, perhaps simple things about my master, and also other things after that which included Quin and the Oceanoid, and other academic things if we have time.

The first topic of discussion at hand, instead of talking about me and what I was, he decided it was better to talk about my familiar.

Which was good as well. We were free tonight anyway.

[[ So, how much do all of you know about us Crystal butterflies? Or in fact, all of the origin beasts and other kinds of energy bests? ]]

He was asking us what we knew about the creatures… hmmmm… well, we all knew quite a lot about them-

[[ And I'm not talking about the kinds and types, the species and skills and ability or habitat or behavior patterns or anything like that.

Do you people know where we come from and what happens to us when we die? Or, to put it in simpler words, do you know where we 'origin' from? ]]

"Hmmm? What? There's a place you come from? Like an actual world?! For real?!"

[[ Yes… and if even you have that reaction, looks like none of you have no practically no idea about the 'Everlight' plains. Haaa… I will have to start from the start, it seems. ]]

Wait, no, did he just say everlight 'plain'? As in a plain of existence?! 

'There's an entire realm for the energy beasts?!'

Now this… this is what I can certainly call a new kind of knowledge!
