Chapter 36.1: The Enchanting Encounter

After the thick dust disappeared, my eyes widened when the tip of my bokken pointed on Zenrie-chan's neck as I held her by her waist a bit closer. Meanwhile, Zoiren held her left hand behind and pointed the edge of the bokken on her nape.

Yet, I didn't notice that her bokken also pointing on my neck.

"Well...it's a draw then," Zenrie-chan declared and sighed in relief. "Both of you did well."

"Pero sobrang ilap mong babae ka," hingal na saad ni Zoiren. "Pati sa mga atake mo parang gusto mo talaga akong tumilapon."

This is the first time that I also beat her in the training. The determination and fierce in her eyes in her warrior mode is incredibly insane, even her stats. She has indeed the right to be the group's captain if that may happen.

"Masanay na kayo," maikling saad niya sabang buntong-hininga. She began to exert her immense force on her arms and pushed us away. Gaya ng sinabi ni Zoiren, tumilapon na naman kami sa magkabilang puno. It was like a huge force of the wind that knocked us out.

She's really fond when it comes to sneaky attacks. Well, she's the assassin in the group.

"Mukhang ganoon na nga," iling ni Zoiren at dahan-dahang tumayo.

"About that," Zenrie started to clear her throat first and looked at us in her serious demeanor. "I know you have a lot of questions when it comes to that Blue-eyed Maiden lately. Nakikita ko sa mga mata niyo kung gaano kayo kainteresadong makilala siya. Uunahan ko na kayo. She's not the usual person who talks a lot."

"You mean, an introverted one and edgy?"

"Cold, stoic, and intimidating? Scary?"

Zenrie-chan let out a sigh, darting her serious gaze towards us. "Some of it. Let's just say I don't want to spoil you as long as you read the book."

After that, she opened her student's window and did what she promised. She sends us the pictures of the said parts of the book on how to summon the Blue-eyed Maiden. I couldn't wait to encounter the mysterious warrior who helped us before.

And the one who puts us into sleep.

"I hope this may help you," Zenrie-chan said as she picked her bokken from the ground.

===========

Kababalik ko lang sa cottage namin matapos sumapit ang 08:30 ng gabi dahil sa mga pinahanap sa akin ni Zenrie-chan. She has told us the instruction on how to summon Blue-eyed Maiden after we spar. Her knowledge from the book is wide since she knew it when she was a kid. Until now, she still knows the things needed.

After she sent us the pictures, she has left us some words to remember.

"Maghanap kayo ng dalawang bulaklak: isang blue rose at isang moonflower na mas makikita niyo rito sa Avillerius. Kapag nahanap niyo na, pumunta kayo sa lugar na kung tawagin ay Bluis Astrae na kung saan nakatira ang sinasabi niyong Blue-eyed Maiden. You have to close your eyes and held the flowers to your chests, saying her name and these words, 'I summon thee'. Remember that your heart's intensions are pure. Kapag nakita niyong nawala ang lahat ng talulot sa bawat bulaklak na tinangay ng hangin, senyales iyon na sinagot niya ang pagtawag niyo."

I didn't expect that words from her as she instructed us on what to do. Other than that, it seems this Blue-eyed Maiden wasn't used to interact with other people. Pero panatag at totoo siya sa kanyang misyon bilang mandirigma, mailap lang sa ibang tao.

"Mukhang mahihirapan yata ako sa pagtawag sa kanya," pabulong kong sambit habang nakatingin sa aking student's window.

Zoiren suddenly appeared behind me and sighed heavily. Crossing his arms, he looked at me straight to the eye.
