BXBX NOVEL Chapter 175 - Journey To The West
And just like that, Ellena made plenty of connections.
Big people in the city started to approach her. They even started to make a personal request after hearing from the Wester Family that \'The Dark Lightning Princess" accepts dangerous requests.
Hmm.... it was amazing. Though not as dangerous and difficult as the Wester Family\'s request. But still, it helped Ellena\'s reputation spread through big individuals.
And also, it didn\'t stop there. When the gun was finally done, another breakthrough was made for Ellena.
Nearby cities requested her assistance in dungeon diving. She became one of the most famous White-Gold rankers in the Lumbert County territory, as well as the other nearby territories of Phlabian City.
The gun was amazing in reality! After receiving it, I couldn\'t hide my joy. And also, when Ellena started using it, A-rank monsters became a piece of cake. They only take one shot to die!
Amazing, right? It\'s beyond that word.
Ellena\'s reputation didn\'t stop there. After the girls visited their families and returned to the organization, they started spreading like fire in the city.
People started to hire them for requests and mercenary jobs. Also, the organization became a prominent organization in the city just after it was founded.
Well, it\'s because of Ellena\'s fame that helped the organization stand. But, the catch here is that all of them are just girls. And their talents aren\'t to be underestimated.
Every one of them had the talent of a Gold ranker. Welp, it\'s because of my help. They don\'t know about my existence, so Ellena just pretends that she knows about the Gifting Technique. My system, Technique Bringer, is such a helpful system.
Cules also became stronger. After training for a month, we almost swept off the monsters in other mountains. It wasn\'t bad though. It became safer, but I still became careful to not literally sweep off the monsters. They become part of the ecosystem, so killing all of them will disrupt the balance.
Nevertheless, we still continue hunting monsters, but in different mountains.
The crime rate also dropped because bandit groups near the city were being hunted by our organization. In reality, it was their training. After giving them technique, they must know how to properly control it in team fights.
But if solo, there\'s no need to worry. They just need to practice with it.
"The Black Summons."
I\'m not sure what\'s up with black, but it\'s become very noticeable to us. The outfits of the girls were black, but not entirely. They had personal and specialized weapons that had different colors. Also, there are some of them that have accessories with effects.
Hm... I should say that it wasn\'t really that bad. As if it would be, but still, black has become more common.
The girls also wear masks, just in case, since we want to infiltrate the underworld slowly.
It\'s a goal, and one day we will reach that part of society, but of course, it won\'t be the main goal. It\'s just under.
"We need to make a proper headquarters," I said.
Ellena became silent after hearing my sentiments. When she was finally done with her job of maintaining her sword, she looked at me with a curious-looking face.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, isn\'t it better to raise the organization? After a month, we are already beside Murphey\'s family. And I don\'t think it\'s a good idea to overshadow them, so let\'s make a headquarters away from this city. And do you know what\'s after the headquarters? "
"You want to open a branch?"
I nodded. "Yup! You are good!"
"But we are still starting. There are still things to organize. Even the hierarchy in the organization and respective positions weren\'t still final."
"Ha... I don\'t mean that we will do it immediately. Of course, we still have things to prepare, but you know me right, I make plans for the next months and even years." I uttered with confidence.
"Such a poser. Anyway, are you ready for the journey to the west?"
West... it\'s because we\'re at the east end of the continent\'s map. The dukedom where this place lies was in the most easterly part of the country.
And our purpose for going to the west was to see the Morning Flower that Ellena wanted to pick for the Wester Family.
"Why are you asking me that? Isn\'t it that obvious that I don\'t prepare? " I ridiculously said.
"Prepare mentally. Why are you sounding like a sarcastic person?"
"Ah! Sorry. I\'ll take a rest!" I abruptly cut her off and went to my personal-sized bed.
She just shook her head and also went to her bed to sleep.
***
"You are going now?"
It\'s been a total of 1 month and a half since Ellena became famous here in Phlabian. And because of it, we need to spread more diligent, but it doesn\'t mean that she\'ll leave the girls behind.
"I will just go for a mission. You know that it\'s a bit far away. And all of you can\'t follow me. It\'s an order. I want you to focus on training."
The girls were just silent, becoming dispirited because of Ellena\'s words. And as Ellena noticed it, she just snickered at them.
"Are you still kids? There are even people here who are older than me. You, Rosellete, why are you frowning?" Ellena pointed out Rosellete.
"Eh... because you didn\'t want me to go with you..."
"Are you a kid? Assist them, that\'s my request."
"Master... I\'m going to miss you!!!"
Unlike other requests that Ellena has accommodated in the past few days, this request from the Wester Family will take a month or at least more.
It\'s obviously depressing for them, and I can understand it. They become dependent on Ellena, and maybe this time it will be better to let them practice becoming independent.
Well, there are girls here that just a month ago didn\'t hold a sword. But now they have become fighters for Ellena.
"I have a request for all of you. After I come back here, I want you all to be strong enough to follow me. We will have a big event in the near future."
After saying it, their eyes started flickering, shining in excitement.
"Did you mean it, Master?"
"Of course!"
And what Ellena meant was the mission they would take to trample down Hubert\'s hands.
