Chapter 192: The Pure Ancient Mana and the Guardian Part 5
The other world's surroundings are much full of greenery compared to Earth's scenery where mostly, you can only see buildings and the greenery you will see is only artificially planted for the sake of decoration. Here, you can barely see any building and workers cutting trees and cultivating the land to become their place to call as their land.
There are occasionally a few animals passing by on the road, which proves that the forests are lush with life. Of course, you can't avoid to meet up hostile creatures such as wolves and goblins. Still, they are not a threat and the road is much more peaceful than usual.
As we are walking, I noticed the pixie on Kon's back is now regaining her consciousness. We are resting for now since we just managed to take down a horde of goblins earlier.
"Master, it seems the pixie is about to wake up, should I get her off from my back and hand her to you?"
"Let her stay on your back for now. I don't want to squish her accidentally."
Ishana and Yami also approached and looked at the pixie that is currently about to open her eyes.
"She is finally waking up?" Ishana asked.
"It's obvious since her eyes is about to open.
Her eyes slowly opened, revealing her clear green eyes. Her eyes wandered around her and she slowly get up from Kon's back.
"Kyaaah!"
The pixie didn't expect to touch the fur of Kon when she is about to get up, causing her to flutter her wings and hover slightly on Kon's back before she returned to the his back. Her eyes then landed on us who are staring at her.
"Humans?!"
She was surprised at first but she quickly calmed down.
"Are you the ones who helped me?"
Ishana smiled and she shook her head. The two of us here did not help but only this guy did," Ishana shook her head and pointed her finger on me.
The pixie looked nervous at first but she bow her head to me before she suddenly blurted, "Hero-sama!"
I frowned when she suddenly said "Hero-sama while looking at my face with innocent eyes. Being called a hero leaves a bad feeling to my body.
"Are you calling me hero?"
"Yes! Your aura is much more radiant th the rest and you saved me from harm! There is no way I will be mistaken by this! I am trained by my father to detect auras and pinpoint the chosen one for the chalice! That is the duty of a guardian!"
"Well, if that is your job, then you just failed miserably as I am not the one you are looking for," I said, immediately dismissing her claims.
"What the hell is wrong with you Kazuma?! You are chosen! For starters, shouldn't you be happy with being the one of the chosen ones?! If you don't want to become the chosen one, then let me be the chosen one instead! I can work much better against this bastard!" Yami said.
"Hmph, I will be glad to hand over that as I don't need it," I said to him.
"But he is not compatible! You are the one with the most compatible frequency of aura I can sense my whole life which means you are the one! Don't worry! If you use the chalice, your powers will awaken!" The pixie said convincing me.
"You mean this chalice?" I put my hand in the air and opened the little portal to take the items inside the mimic bracelet. With a slight tug, I get a hold of the Chalice of Life and pulled it out like I was using a dimensional storage.
"Dimensional Storage Magic?!" the three were surprised seeing me use one of the magic spells that were so envious of, dimensional storage spells.
They were really fooled which is beyond my expectation since I thought someone from them will notice the mimic bracelet but for some unknown reason, they don't seem to be confused but amazed instead. The only one who is confused is the Pixie.
"You already can use magic? You don't seem to have used the Chalice of Life! How come you can use magic already?" The pixie is extremely puzzled.
"Indeed I don't have since I don't have any usage of that other than to use it as fuel source instead."
Ishana is sharp enough to know what I am currently holding right now.
"Isn't that the Pure Ancient Mana? Something like that exist here too?!"
"You know that thing Ishana?" Yami asked. From the looks on his face, he has no idea what the hell is the chalice of Life is made of and usage with.
"Just like what Kazuma said, the Pure Ancient magic is used to fuel things like magic guns and automatons. I even heard that they even used it as a fuel source to make the crashed floating land in the sky to once again hover and fly into the sky."
"Looks like someone did their homework. So yeah, little pixie, this thing is not meant to be used to awaken dormant things but used to awaken things that needed them like mechas and golems. This is not used for people unless they are machines. So if you want to find the hero, find him or her yourself. Here, take this back."
I handed the Chalice of Life to the pixie. She grab the chalice and creased her eyebrows.
"I am not called "Little Pixie!" I also have a name too! My name is Aria!"
"Alright. Now go and find that chosen one. We are going to a dangerous place so if you don't want to be tangled in our affairs, then please you can leave," I said.
"Kazuma, that is harsh. You can just let her stay for a while. You are sounding harsh already," Ishana said, defending Aria.
"We are not a charity Ishana. It is also for her safety since we are going to fight some enemies. Entangling her to our business is only going to do bad for her than do something good."
Aria pouted and lay down on Kon's back. "I won't be going. If you are going somewhere, I have to follow. I firmly believe you are the one who needs to inherit the power of the Chalice of Life!"
In the end, the stubborn fairy stick with us in our task to find the missing people sucked in this world. As a guardian of the Chalice of Life, it is her task to find the chosen one. As for the chosen one, we don't know who you are but if you are someone from us, in Japan, take this fairy already and give thwart the enemies immediately...
