Silver called Nicholas about the job she had been given and her boss told her to do it, after all this was his grandson's future.
She followed Whitley to a nearby house that had the medicine, they needed and after picking it up, she turned to Whitley to lead the way, after all this was his idea.
Unbeknownst to her Whitley had begun to feel his mind move, he had never left Atlas as he had done so recently and now he was about to leave Mantle behind, granted it was for something he wanted, but he had never had this much freedom before.
He briefly thought about calling for one of his families vehicles or getting one of the unmanned airships, but he knew that if he did that neither the Adventurers nor Aqua and Kazuma would respect him for it
So he decided to get to the town the same way the adventurers did.
Meaning that he would have to walk.
He remembered Kazuma's lessons, always think ahead, and remember that there are other people with you.
So with the money he had in his pocket, he began to lead both Rude and Silver around Mantle buying what he hoped would help them in their journey.
it was nothing special, just a couple of backpacks and some food and a few dust crystals, that were expensive but nothing he couldn't afford.
He soon stood at the edge of Mantle and noticed that several children were playing in the snow, however, he didn't have experience huntsmen with him this time, so he was a lot more hesitant about leaving the city, but this was his journey and so he gave the first step.
He listened to the snow being crushed underneath his shoes and he began his journey to completing Silvers job.
Unbeknownst to any of them, however, Kazuma and Aqua had begun to make a name for themselves as they headed towards the nearby town, as townspeople - huntsmen and soldiers alike, watched as the pair killed one pack of Grimm after another.
Kazuma had spent nearly all of his saving on dust crystals hoping he could use their magic to keep himself and Aqua alive.
Unfortunately, he had long since used them all up as the moment that the two of them were far enough away from Mantle the Grimm began to gather.
At first, the number of Grimm was something manageable, and all qua had to do was use her purification magic to make them go away.
However, the Grimm had begun to gather in bigger and bigger numbers and soon Kazuma had to interfere.
They were no longer the pair of screw-ups from the other world now they were experienced adventurers and the creatures around them were monsters that needed to die.
To the eyewitnesses, it must have been a spectacle to be seen, as the pair held hands and began to cast one massive spell after another.
Kazuma combined blast magic with this ability to create golems and made them charge at the Grimm.
The golems killed as many of the Grimm as they could before they were overwhelmed only to explode and kill even more Grimm, by either their explosions or broken body parts that pierced the Grimms bodies.
Aqua used several magic circles and unmade the Grimm, erasing their presence from the world.
As the people watched they could see the colors of the two glow, Aqua was a bright blue, while Kazuma was a dark green.
Soon the waves of Grimm were gone and only the oldest most powerful Grimm remained.
These creatures looked at the pair and retreated as if knowing that challenging them now was certain death.
The truth of this was different, however, both Kazuma and Aqua were terrified, neither of them bothered screaming, not because they didn't want to attack more Grimm towards them, but because they didn't want to lose face in front of the people around them.
Aqua launched one attack after another hoping to purify or unmake the gathering Grimm while Kazuma tried to remember the strongest skills he had.
It was pure dumb luck that they managed to beat the Grimm and make it to town.
"Thank you," the mayor of the town said to them as he eagerly greeted Kazuma and Aqua
"Don't worry about it, but can you please don't tell anyone about what you saw," Kazuma said to the man and he looked past the man and looked at the townspeople.
'Sorry but can everyone not tell people about what you saw, we don't want t to attract unwanted attention" Kazuma said to the townspeople who immediately agreed to his request.
Unfortunately for him, both the Huntsmen and soldiers recorded what they had seen and had already sent videos of it by using their scrolls.
"Anyway, here's your delivery," Kazuma said to the man as Aqua handed him a box filled with empty jars.
'The mayor's face immediately brightened when he saw what they brought with them.
"Thank you, the town makes its money by selling maple syrup, and we were running out of jars for it," he said to the two.
"Gather around everyone, I the great Goddess Aqua have arrived and have brought to you the gift of entertainment," Aqua loudly said to the townspeople as she opened her hands wide and several birds flew out of her sleaves.
the children looked to their parents who immediately nodded and approached Aqua with their kids.
Kazuma handed the mayor one of the sheets of paper and he watched as the mayor signed it.
When the mayor handed him the sheet of paper he looked for a quiet place and sat down and watched as Aqua performed her party tricks for everyone.
She made flowers come out of the ground and grow tiny legs before walking to a nearby woman and gathering in a bunch, before losing their legs and becoming ordinary flowers again.
The woman carefully picked up the bouquet and her eyes widened as she smelled the sweet scent of spring, which was hardly ever-present in this part of the world.
He watched as Aqua used her power over water to melt the snow around her, before making an ice slide that she immediately got on before sliding on it, the children immediately followed her example.
Kazuma smiled as he watched all of this, and he closed his eyes and listened to the children's laughter.
When he opened his eyes he found a woman standing over him, in her arms she had four jars of syrup, she handed Kazuma the jars and sad they were the best ones the town made.
He was tempted to stay in the town for a little bit longer, but the longer they stayed in the town the greater the threat of the Grimm attacking became.
So they left the town behind, they would eventually return to Mantle but only after they finished their deliveries, luckily for them, the towns weren't too far away from each other.
Before they left Kazuma remembered to give the town's people one of his antennas.
The antennas weren't anything special, after all, Kazuma had made them out of some spare parts he had.
They were meant for the towns to use in case they ever needed help and Atlas was unable t send its Huntsmen foto help the town.
He had found an old telephone and found how it could send and receive signals before copying what worked and making more of it.
He never expected them to replace the scrolls, after all, the scrolls were cellphones while his antennas and telephones were outdated technology.
As they walked he placed another antenna on top of a tree in a spot where it would be hard to find he had done this before but then the Grimm began to attack so he was forced to stop.
He listened as Aqua happily hummed to herself as they walked before he jumped onto another tree and placed another antenna.
The truth was he didn't know how far the antenna's signal went he just knew it wasn't very far.
Luckily for the two of them, no Grimm had attacked them in their journey so they reached the small towns.
The locals were friendly and gave them something hot to drink after Kazuma had given them their supply of socks and mittens.
It didn't seem like much but in a place like this where a person has to keep their fingers and toes warm to keep them from sub coming to frostbite, socks and mittens were something that could mean the difference between life and death.
Again Aqua began performing for the people.
[present]
Winter watched as aqua who was now referred to as the Blue Maiden was taken to a room for her safety, she knew that what her brother had told her was true, but she had her orders.
And those orders were to bring the Blue Maiden, that was it, so keeping her partner around wasn't necessary, she hoped that her decision wouldn't come back and hurt everyone.
She briefly remembered her first encounter with the two.
It was back when Mantle was regaining its past glory, back when the devive between Mantle and Atlas had suddenly grown greater than it ever had been.
The people of Mantle had begun to start their version of part-time workers but called them Adventurers and had begun to fix the old city.
At the edges of the city, the old buildings that remained from Mantle's past had suddenly come back to life, long gone were their old decrepit states, that informed any onlooker that the buildings needed to be torn down.
While closer to the center of the city the apartment buildings towered over the old outdated building of the past, before being left behind by the more advanced buildings that were in the center of the city.
The city's technology seemed to be becoming a mixture of present-day technology and long since outdated technology.
It seemed as if almost overnight it seemed the city had suddenly gone back in time in some areas, while in others it had seemingly become somewhat cleaner, while in other areas the ones closer to Atlas, it had somehow begun to catch up to Atlases in appearance.
"How is she," General Ironwood said to her before turning to look at Aqua who was still sleeping on the bed
"I heard that she brought back several people who were dead," he said to Winter
"General half our army was gone and she brought them all back," Winter said to Ironwood
"I know you're worried that by keeping her here we're putting her in even more danger," he said to her
"No, I'm worried about what her partner will do when he finds out she been taken by us," Winter said to Ironwood
"I know, from what the reports said they never been too far from each other, meaning that for whatever reason they can't be too far away from one another," he said to her before closing his eyes.
"You did the right thing, her guardian or partner trusts your brother, so Whitley should be able to calm him down long enough for us to be able to talk to her"
ironwood said to Winter as Aqua began o open her eyes.
Aqua looked around and noticed the doctors around her she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening her mouth.
Even before she made a sound both Ironwood and Winter as well as the doctors knew what was going to happen next.
The doctors ran to try and stop Aqua but ironwood ran to open the door to Aqua's room and try to order the doctors not to touch her but it was too late.
The doctors graved Aquas hands and Aqua screamed
"Kazuma! Kazuma! Kazuma!"
"Help!"
In the Schnee mansion Kazuma opened his eyes and looked around, he saw the Turks suddenly tens up, he didn't attack them, but he looked around and he listened to Aquas vice calling for him
'Where!" he screamed
'Calm down" one of the Turks said to him but Kazuma teleported out of the door before any of the guards could stop him
He could hear the [panick in Aqua's voice as he called for him and his eyes began to glow red as he noticed all of the guards approaching him.
There was no reason for them to fight, so he used his enemy detection skill and his escape skill to pass by everyone before running out of the front door.
Silver- Reno Weiss and all of her friends watched Kazuma escape and when Weiss was bout to say something she heard her brother order the Turks to calm down.
There was no point in trying to stop Kazuma now, the man was a force of nature, when he became like this, the best they could do was follow him and the chances of that happening were slim.
Luckily they knew where he was going.
Whitley took out his scroll and called Winter
"Winter answered her scroll as Ironwood pulled the doctors away from Aqua and her eyes widened as she heard her brothers message
'He's awake and he's going to find her"
"Kazuma! Kazuma!" Aqua screamed as Ironwood tried to talk to her
'Sir he's coming! Winter said to Ironwood as the base shook and Kazuma walked into the building through a hole he made in the wall, his eyes glowing a fierce red
"Kazuma," Aqua said to her partner as Kazuma walked up to her and stood protectively between her and general Ironwood.
Winter reached for her sword but general Ironwood ordered her to stand down as he took off his guns and placed them on the ground.
"Look we didn't hurt her, we just want to talk," he said to them
"Kazuma," Aqua said to her partner and Winter watched as the man's eyes lost their red glow
"We're going home, if you still want to talk we can do it there," Kazuma said to them before Aqua hugged him and they both teleported out of the hospital
