Chapter 5 – Remember II
Elboy's team
After confronting Banthus in his cave, the trio fought against Banthus. However, he escaped and unfortunately dropped a letter directed to him from Wally, the Ruler of Velder. The trio gave this letter to Hoffman and Lenphad. The current plan of action is to sneak on Wally from behind and confront him. Now, the trio can rest for a bit before they initiate the plan at midnight. The trio was currently staying at Elder's luxurious inn.
Aisha sighed while lying on her bed. "I'm so tired… Why does Hoffman send us and not mercenaries to deal with Banthus?"
Elsword was getting used to Aisha's constant complaining, thanks to her constant complaining in the cave, recalling all the times Aisha complained about bats and caves. "Because you need the exercise."
"Oh shut it Eldork! At least I have a brain that can actually think unlike you!"
However, Elsword is still not used to Aisha's insults. "What did you call me?!"
"Dumb!"
Unfortunately, Rena wasn't present to stop the fighting, so it escalated. Speaking of Rena, she is out late night shopping with the reward money. "Hmm, I can't quite decide what to buy, so many varieties~" Rena started to hum to herself, buying everything in sight, besides meat and not paying attention to her surroundings. Because she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, eventually she accidently bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Rena apologised while bowing, hoping that she didn't disturb the person she bumped.
"… It is alright…" said a voice that sounded familiar to Rena.
"Huh?" Rena looked look to face the stranger, what she saw surprised her. A familiar face. "Dia!"
"…?" Deiti turned to face Rena.
"Dia! It's me, Ri!"
"…?" Deiti continues to remain confused. "… Do I know you…?"
"Of course you do! Dia! It's Ri!"
"… I am afraid, that I do not know you…"
Rena was saddened, "Dia… Do you not remember me?"
"…" And once again, Deiti felt pain and loss consciousness as more memories return to him. This time, it is about Rena.
Many years ago
In Rena's home village, at an archery practise field, a child Rena was practising archery for the first time and Deiti was assisting.
"… Rena, straighten your posture…"
"Got it."
"… Keep your arm steady…"
"Okay."
"… Keep your breathing steady…"
"I KNOW!"
Deiti chuckled "… Keep calm…"
"I CAN'T! YOU KEEP INTERRUPTING!"
Deiti continued to chuckle "… An archer must remain calm at all times, even if there are distractions…"
Rena felt irritated, she being an elf who are master archers, and Deiti, a human is telling her how to fire an arrow, and especially an amnesiac human.
Rena fired an arrow, however, it missed the bullseye by quite a bit.
"… Rena, keep calm…" Deiti reminded once again, intentionally bothering Rena once more.
"FINE!"
Deiti once again chuckled "… Good…"
"Keep calm…" Rena slowly whispered, she then drew her bow. "Keep calm…" Rena fired the bow and it hit the bullseye.
Deiti started clapping. "… Congratulations Rena, now for the other targets…"
"What…" Rena started sulking. "But Deiti, I don't see the point in shooting all of them."
"Dissatisfied..?" Deiti was surprised. "Rena, you need practise with your archery…"
"Still, I don't see a point."
Deiti thought for a moment, for a way to motivate her. "… Rena, if you hit all the bullseyes… what if I allowed you to do what you wish to do with me?"
The effect was instantaneous as in one minute, Rena hit the bullseye for all the practise targets.
"Ahh…"
"Deiti~, you promised~" Rena emphasised with a mischievous smile.
Deiti sighed. "… Fine… what is it that you wish?"
Rena spent a considerable amount of time in deciding what to do. She could've made Deiti do something embarrassing as revenge. However, she didn't, except… "Let's use nicknames for each other~!"
"… What…?"
"Nicknames!"
"I see… what do you wish to be called…?"
"Ri!"
Deiti pokerfaced. "Ri…? I see… then you shall call me Dia."
"Dia...?" Rena chuckled. "It's so simple!"
Deiti chuckled "You should not be the one saying that..."
Rena also chuckled. "I guess I shouldn't now let's introduce each other again. My name is Ri, it's nice to meet you Di-"
Dia! Dia! Are you hurt?" Rena tried to wake Deiti from his unconscious state.
"Re…na..." Deiti silently whispered, before awaking out of unconsciousness.
Rena helped Deiti stand up. "Dia…? Are you still hurt?" Rena asked with concern.
Deiti chuckled. "Even after all these years, the nickname promise is still valid, Ri…"
"Dia… you still remember me!" Rena was overjoyed. "You even remember the promise!"
"… I have..."
Rena then came to realise something crucial. "… Wait a moment… Dia, how are you alive? That time we met was xxx years ago."
"… Ri…" Deiti called out. "I shall explain this topic to you another time…"
"Hmp... why do you always keep everything a secret?" Rena pouted. "You even kept your sickness a secret back then as well, why didn't you tell me that you only had little time left to live…?"
"… I see you have grown talkative… Ri…"
"Of course Dia~, it has been a long time after all~."
"…" Deiti felt Déjà vu and surprised of how fast the mood changed.
"Anyways~, what brings you here?"
"… Shopping..." And how fast it took to change topics.
"Oh! Me too!"
"Hmm…" Deiti glanced at Rena's bag full of groceries. "… I shall pay for your groceries as well…"
"No, no! It's fine!"
"… I will still pay…"
"But Dia! You don't need to pay for me!"
In the end, Deiti paid for both of their groceries without making even a dent in the money Lacher has given him, despite Rena's protests. Both Deiti and Rena exited the store with their respective groceries.
"You still paid in the end…" Rena sulked.
Deiti chuckled. "Of course… it was nice seeing a friend again…"
Rena felt the same, seeing a friend who she thought has 'died'.
Deiti and Rena continued walking together, the walk was unnervingly quiet, with none speaking.
"… Ri, may I ask where we are headed…?"
"Oh! We're headed towards where I am staying while I'm in Elder."
"…"
"Dia! Why not come with me?"
"… Ri… I cannot…"
"Dia? Is there a reason you can't?"
"… Again… It is something to be explained another time…"
"Another secret?"
"…"
Deiti seemingly paid more attention to the surroundings around them, hoping to not answer. He saw a man with a round body physique talking with a male teenager in the middle of the night, whom from behind, had a fully white appearance. White hair, white clothing, and six white mechanical devices that were slightly hovering around him. Deiti paid close attention to this male, as he kept bugging the older man about 'Nasods'. Deiti continued to pay more attention to this conversation.
"Dia? Dia?" Rena repeatedly called out, which brought Deiti's attention away from the teenager.
"…?" Deiti looked down to face Rena, who was facing him.
"Dia, I should be fine with the rest of the way now," Rena said while turning to face forward.
"… Fine…" Deiti stayed in one spot while Rena continued to walk.
Rena soon stopped with a distance away from Deiti. "… Dia… promise that you will tell me why you are still alive…" Rena asks without looking back.
Deiti stood quietly for a few moments. "… I will… one day…" Deiti promised.
"What will you d-," Rena asked while turning to face Deiti, however, Deiti was gone as if he was never there. "Dia…?"
Rena was saddened, she concluded that Deiti was a hallucination. Rena walked the rest of the way back to the inn, alone.
Rena tried theorising the reasons why she saw Deiti, even if she believed that he was a hallucination. But not coming to a clear conclusion, which frustrates her more.
When she arrived at the inn, she found that it was half destroyed, by a certain Elbrat and Aisha who were still fighting, with random people trying to stop the fighting, with no success.
"WHAT DID YOU BRATS DO?!" Rena screamed, she immediately dropped her groceries and magically summoned her bow to her hands, and started rapidly firing at both brats.
Elboy and Aisha screamed simultaneously while dodging all the arrows Rena has fired.
On one of the rooftops, Deiti was observing the mayhem of Elboy and Aisha getting chased. "… Rena still has not learnt to be calm…" Deiti chuckled, he then materialised a large black bow. Deiti intentionally fired an arrow with a message near Rena.
The sudden arrow made Rena stop firing at the brats, who were taking the opportunity to run for their lives, momentarily to find the letter attached to the arrow. Opening the message, it reads:
Ri, keep calm, did I not teach you?
Rena faced to the direction where the arrow was fired with surprise, but again, Deiti wasn't there. However, Rena knew it was Deiti. Rena became hopeful, knowing that Deiti was indeed alive, and not a hallucination. Returning to reality, Rena calmed herself and she finally accurately hit the two brats, which knocked them out cold. What Rena did to them two afterwards would traumatise them for life.
The Temple, 10PM
Deiti was already back at the mountain temple, he laid below the tree to recall everything that has happened. Too many things have happened, remembering that he is a god, remembering old friends and remembering few of his old abilities all in a single day. And most importantly, learning of heaven's current state of confusion, and that he must regain his prior powers to stop it.
Deiti chuckled. "… I was right, Aizrael... a new journey, has begun…" Deiti said to no one, soon he stared at the temple, where Ara rests. "… Ara, I wonder… how much potential do you have…?" Deiti continued to stare at the stars. "… And how much longer until I return…?" Deiti decided to stop questioning, he then closed his eyes to rest.
