CHAPTER 66: THE BEING FROM THE TOP OF THE TOWER

I’d say she’s definitely beautiful just like most of the women I’ve encountered so far and she’s got C-cups at best and the curves are nice. I’m sure her ass is nice too but that’s not the point here...

Pervert. I can’t say I’m surprised at this point with you anymore.

Again... I haven’t been around women much in my life since the collapse happened okay? Can you really blame me for looking so much lately...

I feel a hand caress my face as I realize what’s going on again, it was the woman from before. "I see you get distracted in your own thoughts occasionally too, how cute." She teases.

From what I remember... Mira called her Master Akina so this really is the being from the top of the tower.

"I happen to think about a lot, yeah." I respond as the hot feeling begins to radiate in my cheeks.

It kind of feels like I might be blushing right now and I’m not sure that’s a good thing with a woman like this. She’s the complete opposite from what I expected...

"W-What is going to happen here..?" I stutter to ask at first.

She moves away slightly as her eyes continue to linger on me. "The tower will collapse and no one will be able to climb any longer. But I wouldn’t want to miss out on what you will become." Akina responds with a bit of excitement in her voice.

I don’t really know what she means by that just yet so this makes it a bit awkward for me to understand. I’ve also never had this close of an interaction with someone like her.

A true beauty of a goddess and it’s not like I’m exaggerating it since she kind of is a goddess in a sense. Akina does grant wishes to people when they reach the top which is something a goddess would do.

"Master Akina, what do you mean by that exactly?" Mira speaks up with a bit of confusion in her voice.

I watch as she averts her gaze towards Mira while still keeping the same smile. "I’m going to accompany him of course. There’s so much to see." Akina answers happily.

Here I thought she was going to be quite the scary being to talk to... But I was proven completely wrong the moment she spoke. This group is also becoming a lot bigger than expected.

I’d rather not have such a big group of people so maybe finding a place for us to all stay at after this would be wise. Some sort of base of operations since I don’t want the headache of traveling with 4-5 people or even more than that.

Rika is basically another person to except she’s constantly in my head instead of being there in person.

"We’ll need to figure out a place to get everyone situated then." I say while keeping a calm tone.

This wasn’t exactly the best spot to be in since it costs quite a bit of silvite to properly feed everyone too. Gah, this is definitely going to be a huge pain in the ass.

Akina gestures for them to get off of their knees before turning to face me again. "I’ll be willing to help with that. We just need to wrap up here and then I’ll be more than happy to talk more." Akina responds with more of a carefree tone.

It’s definitely a bit concerning with how positive she is when I thought she’d be this terrifying woman. Mira, Velia, and even Rika seemed to be on edge with her before so what am I missing here?

People can put on a good face when they want something.

So you think she’s putting on a face to get something from me? I don’t really have much to offer her so it would be pointless to be nice like this to me.

I’m not sure what she wants just yet but it definitely involves you.

Obviously, she wouldn’t be joining us if that wasn’t the case. I’ll find a way to get the answers out of her somehow.

Though I’m quite concerned on what people will think of her appearance since she definitely doesn’t look human. The spirals in her eyes alone would set anyone off.

Smart hunters will be able to sense the power radiating off of her so you’ll be fine.

At least that’s a bit of a relief so maybe it won’t be that big of a deal. Just getting everyone situated and seeing who is staying behind is the problem at hand.

I don’t want to leave Ghost and Lilly behind again since they were with me from the beginning of this journey. So they will definitely be accompanying me for the journey still.

"Rokuro are you ready to leave? I’ll happily bring us somewhere safe before we reconnect with your friends." Akina asks curiously.

"Aah. Sure." I respond hesitantly.

Everything around us disappears as the rumbling of the tower is no longer a possibility for us to hear. I take a few quick glances and realize that we are in a lobby like area.

Just like the first time we entered the tower... This was the exact same place but nothing was going on now. It was honestly quite peaceful to be in this lobby after all the chaos we dealt with.

"Mira why don’t you take Velia outside and catch up the two waiting for Rokuro." Akina instructs her while keeping the same happy and carefree tone.

A look of fear was on Mira’s face as she got these instructions though which was odd. She didn’t even say anything back and just gave a nod to Akina.

Creeeek. Shut! She took Velia out of the lobby, back outside to the others and shut the door behind them.

"Now we can talk alone, no need for anyone else to be around right now." Akina says while looking up and down at me.

She was clearly seeing what I have in more ways than one which is interesting but maybe she can see the source of power from the top to the bottom of my body.

"What is there to talk about?" I ask with a bit of curiosity.
