Chapter 149: Casting Fireball!
[Ding!]
[Congratulations Master for completing the first objective of the 'Fate Unravel II: Unmask the Soul' quest!! (≧◡≦)]
Orion paused in his steps, looking at the system prompt, his face brightened up with a smile. 'Looks like I'm closer to completing the quest now.'
[You did great, Master! That was very kind of you, and I think Seraph will finally start trusting you more and more now! (⁀‿⁀)]
Orion chuckled softly, shaking his head gently. 'Trust is built over time, Lumi. She's had a rough past. But at least I've shown her my intentions clearly. I'm glad I could remove that seal.'
[You could have done that from the start no?
'You do not understand the importance of timing, Lil Lumi.' He laughed to himself, 'It would have seemed weirdly suspicious that I bought a slave and freed her the next day. But now, I have shown her enough goodwill and my personality over time that she won't treat it as badly.'
[(☉｡☉)! Definitely, Master! And congrats again on finishing the quest objective! One step closer to unraveling her secret! (≧▽≦)]
'Heh, honestly, I forgot it was a quest until you reminded me.' Orion laughed inwardly. 'Gaining her trust, huh? It felt more like something I had to do morally rather than just completing a quest objective.'
[That's why Master is so special! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ You genuinely care for people, not just for system rewards.]
Orion shook his head, 'I'm not so great, after all, I saved her for the quest. How I treat her after is a different thing.'
Saying that, he glanced thoughtfully towards the dining hall ahead. 'Anyway, enough about that for now. Time to tell Grandma and Grandpa about my progress. I'm sure Grandma especially would love to know about the Fireball spell.'
