The next morning, Allen, Tang Yu, and Raya finished having breakfast inside Ye Yuesheng’s former house.

Today is their departure.

For some reason, Raya was saying that she wanted to go with them even though Allen never asked her. She said that there’s no point in staying if Allen wasn’t there in the city since she wasn’t a human race but a monster race in the first place.

She knows that she had only managed to live a good life inside a human settlement because of Allen’s identity and status, protecting her. If not, she would surely be feared and despised by humans so she wants to go with Allen and Tang Yu.

To her decision, neither Allen nor Tang Yu objected, more like they never cared.

Raya is really pitiful… I want to cry T-T

Allen carried the guitar case and strapped it on his shoulders and together with Tang Yu and Raya, they left the house.

While walking towards the gate, some people they passed by said, "Come back again~" as a carefree farewell. They seem to have known that Allen and the others would be leaving.

At the gate, Allen met with the Sun siblings. Surely they are not waiting here for them, right?

“Beast King, I hope you a safe journey.” Sun Yueli did a knight like kneel in front of Allen.

“Although I don’t like it I guess I can wish you a happy trip.” Sun Yingyun smiled at Allen, although awkwardly.

Allen nodded at Sun Yueli as well as Sun Yingyun.

“Yueli, take care. A monster king war and a human-demon war will come; no one would be able to stop them. If you can’t hold on much longer, you better immediately retreat; we need someone like you for the war. You can’t just die here in this part of an unknown city.”

“I have accepted the order, Beast King.” Sun Yueli answered with a knight salute. “... Whenever you needed me, this old man will cross a sea of fire and climb blades of mountain to aid you!”

Allen nodded gratefully.

“Yingyun, you’re strong and you will still become even stronger. Train well, you will one day become a Hero and when that time comes, come and bite me. A real Hero and a Villain, I’ll be waiting for you.”

“I will surely do. When that time comes, you will kneel in front of me and beg me not to leave you.” Sun Yingyun smiled confidently as if that day will surely come.

Allen didn’t say anything and only smiled as they passed through the gate.

“Young master, are we going to walk all the way?” Tang Yu asked curiously.

Allen shook his head. He raised his hand and called out his Grimoire: “Summon Tiaowen and Mei nu!”

Two lights came out from the summoning grimoire. This lights then became two monsters, one is a beautiful green color wolf with white stripes. It possesses a pair of beautiful oceanic eyes.

The other one was breathtaking, extremely beautiful Unicorn with pure white colored fur and silver crest and tail. It has a majestic horn with a spiral design on its forehead.

Looking at the two monsters, Tang Yu and Raya, even the Sun siblings; Sun Yueli and Sun Yingyun was shocked. After all, aside from the wind wolf, a [ Unicorn ]?

Damn it!! That’s the top1 of ‘Mythical beings I wanted to ride even once in my lifetime’ list of a girl’s dream. A [ Unicorn ] was even posted as a very rare mythical being that any princess wanted to have.

Many girls and women have gone crazy wanted to own a [ Unicorn ] but not one had ever managed to acquire it. [ Unicorn ] are as slippery as pixies and fairies. They could be sighted from time to time but no one had ever managed to catch them.

Now that [ Unicorn ] was in front of them!

Who would not feel amazed?

“Tang Yu,” Allen called out at Tang Yu who was in a daze. “Sit in the Unicorn.”

Hearing this, Tang Yu was startled but then became very happy. Raya and Sun Yingyun could only watch her walking towards it happily with envy.

Such a good horse, who wouldn’t feel jealous?

Allen had decided this since [ Unicorn ] tend to choose a woman rather than a man especially those who are still a virgin, the [ Unicorn ] shouldn’t have any problem with it.

But he had forgotten one thing.

Before Tang Yu could approach it, the [ Unicorn ] suddenly turned around and began walking towards Allen. It then nudged its head against Allen’s back affectionately. The look on its eyes as if it wanted to cry from injustice.

This sudden development shock Tang Yu and the others.

What happened? Don’t tell me it didn’t like Tang Yu?

Thinking about this, Tang Yu felt downcast as if the world’s going to an end.

Allen, on the other hand, has been preparing to ride Tiaowen when he felt somewhat nudging his back. Turning around, he saw the [ Unicorn ] on the verge of crying.

“What are you doing? Tang Yu will just ride on you… what? You don’t want to? Tang Yu is still a Maiden you know, in addition, she’s beautiful what are you still lookin – huh? You don’t like her? Why? What? You like me more? Hey, don’t tell me you’re a mare?”

The [ Unicorn ] nodded its head and then stared at Allen, it’s as if begging.

Allen didn't know more like didn't bother checking if the [ Unicorn ] was a male or a female... why would he? It's not like it's important~

“Mei nu, you see…” Allen couldn’t finish speaking because of the [ Unicorn ] pleading with her gaze while affectionately rubbing its head on his chest.

What’s with the adorable doe eyes?!

Giving up, Allen shrugged his shoulders and looked at Tang Yu; “Xiao Yu, I’m sorry but ride in Tiaowen, instead.”

“… Yes, young master.” Tang Yu pouted as she began walking towards Tiaowen. Fortunately, the wind wolf wasn’t as cruel and stingy as the [ Unicorn ] and she managed to ride it.

But her heart was already scarred as he kept on cursing; Cheap horse, smelly horse!

With everything done, Allen, Tang Yu, and Raya started their departure.

--- ---

While riding Tiaowen and Mei nu, Allen, Tang Yu and Raya who was following behind them were traveling through an animal trail.

They will stop from time to time to take a rest, although they aren’t exhausted from walking, Allen cared about the two beasts. Besides, Raya was also walking unlike them who were riding.

As they were eating some fruits,

“…Hm?”

Allen, lifted his head to look up.

“—? Is something wrong young master?”

And as Tang Yu asked in surprise, Allen frowned as he stroked his chin, then his line of sight went towards Raya who was also looking upward with a surprised expression.

“Raya, what was that?”

But Raya didn’t answer and instead continued looking up in a daze, no she seemed to be listening unto something.

Looking at them, Tang Yu frowned and asked, “Young master, what’s happening?”

“I just heard a ‘strange’ sound…”

“A strange sound… is it?”

“Yeah, it’s an ‘abnormally high pitched sound’…” Allen nodded his head. “If I’m not mistaken, that sound should be some sort of message using a short-wave transmission.”

“Short wave transmission?” Tang Yu repeated that word. She seemed to have some recollection of hearing about the name but she didn’t know what it was.

“Anyway, when I try tracing it earlier through my sonar using the resonating vibrations to found out the sender because I thought that the message might be for me but it was too far. When I trace for whom the message instead, it’s for Raya, not mine. So in other words, this must be their tribe’s way of calling each other.”

“That’s right,” At this moment, Raya was already out of the daze. “My mother was looking for me and called me to return…”

She said. It should be good news for her but for some reason, she felt a bit lost and sad.

“Okay,” Allen smiled faintly. “Go on, you don’t need to be that sad. I’m going to visit you in your home in the future and when that time comes, you better welcome us.”

“Really?!” Raya was immediately overjoyed.

Obviously, this wasn’t just for her. Allen wanted to do this for a selfish reason. To bring the [ Sound of Pain ] to his side, he must see her personally and gained her favor. Of course, through Raya.

This is the reason why he helped and gained Raya’s friendship. Although it sounds cruel, he must do this…

Allen nodded his head and smiled warmly.

At this moment,

“May I join in?” A somewhat familiar voice echoed behind the veil of trees.

Hearing this, Tang Yu and Raya immediately turned vigilant, standing up while taking out their weapons.

Allen, on the other hand, was composed, still eating the apple like fruit. “You really do have a strange hobby, Qilin.”

“Hehe, I know you will notice me.” out of the bushes a beautiful and magnificent looking Qilin walked out. It held no hostility; instead, a gentle and solemn aura covered its entire being.

Seeing that it was the familiar Qilin, Tang Yu and Raya lowered their guard but their faces still express their doubts. After all, the Qilin was Allen’s enemy just a few days ago.

“So, did you think about my proposal?” Allen asked. His face shows a bewitching boyish grin.

“I did,” The Qilin answered directly as it started walking towards Allen. It then laid down its stomach on the ground sprawled its forelegs in front. “I agree, serving under your kingship seems to be somewhat interesting.”

“Are you sure? You said that I’m crazy and I will surely die if I face those monsters, why did you change your mind and want to jump this pit with me?”

“Yeah, you are crazy, no, being crazy is just an understatement but that it is also interesting. I want to see with my own eyes if you really had the ability to change this world~”

“So, you mean that you will come aboard this sinking ship?” Allen found it funny. This Qilin is one heck of a Qilin. It’s not the usual Qilin you find anywhere but one of a kind. It’s violent and battle maniac and its thoughts greatly inclined to those of humans.

Because it’s interesting…?

One should know that there is still another faction in the world. And these factions are way stronger than the current Allen as they are the monsters ruling the summit. It’s not even exaggerated that Allen is still like a child compared to them.

But the Qilin want to ally with him because it’s interesting…?

Either he was a fool or just someone who looks for death would choose him for that reason.

Of course, Allen wasn’t an idiot to let go of this opportunity.

“Then you will follow me…?”

“I will follow you,”

“… even in hell?” Allen grinned.

“… ...” the Qilin stared at Allen quietly. After a moment, “As I thought, I’m going with you in this nonsensical escapade. It could be interesting after all, don’t you think?”

Allen felt as if the Lightning Qilin smiled, though because of its beast-like face, just looking at it wouldn’t make it noticeable, Allen could feel it just like that time when they are fighting. The Qilin is enjoying…

Allen raised his hand called out his Grimoire, after which he looked at the Qilin. “Qilin, whether it be heaven or hell, I will certainly show you a much more magnificent sight. The road is long, the future is bleak but even so, I will show you that I can stand on the summit. When that day comes, you will certainly not regret this decision that you have made.”

“I hope so,” After saying, the Qilin’s entire body lit up and was then sucked inside the Summoning Grimoire.

[ Lightning Qilin Lv- Rook rank. Mid-Lv.

Duration: ---

The Lightning Qilin was also known as Kirin is a mythical hooved chimerical creature known in Chinese and other East Asian cultures. It is a good omen thought to occasion prosperity or serenity. It has the ability to control and call out lightning.

In appearance, it looks somewhat like a cross between a deer and a tiger. It has long pointy horns on its head and its entire body is covered in bluish scales. ]

Ding! Allen heard a familiar chime and inside his mind, a prompt that said taming the Lightning Qilin was a success giving Allen a huge numerical amount of experience. The Lightning Qilin was a Rook ranked monster and a mid-Lv at that so the experience Allen acquired was much different compared to the normal ones. Even the white dragons snake couldn’t be compared.

Right now, Allen was already half way to Lv6 mainly due to the experiences he had managed to acquire from taming monsters. Most importantly, most of his monsters are not normal monsters and their levels are comparable or even above Allen’s so the experience increased like a rocket.

Feeling extremely satisfied, Allen took a bite of the apple-like fruit.

Once again, with the Qilin’s existence, Allen became even stronger. Right now, he could be called as a master tamer and his power as a monster tamer alone was already above any monster tamers in this world.

He was once again standing at the summit of human monster tamers.

Allen and Tang Yu continued their journey but this time Raya was already not with them. She had already separated her way, although reluctantly. Of course, not after Allen gave her a Vit Medal and a Vit Communicator. The spider’s piece, the eight seat of Vivite Liberi.

Before Mia left, she left a couple of extra Vit Medal and Vit Com. Inside the guitar case. It’s mainly for Allen’s use.

Although her power is certainly not up to par, Raya was a very important piece of Allen’s relationship with Lumeria. He can’t be parsimonious about it.

They met several monsters along the way, some never dared to attack but most dared to. Monsters like slimes, goblins, poison rodents and others - these monsters have low intelligence so they would never understand the power difference between them and Allen’s group.

Contrary to Allen’s indifferent expression, Tang Yu was the most ecstatic. She was now alone with Allen and this made her excited. She really looked like a small servant, taking care of Allen most of the time.

Naturally, Allen didn’t remain passive or oblivious. 

He enjoyed Tang Yu’s care and even allowed her to sleep together with him much to the girl’s surprise and excitement. In any case, it’s sleeping together and nothing more- though the main reason is, the night outside is certainly cold and a warm pillow is needed!

Hugging Tang Yu while sleeping is the best!

Tang Yu didn’t refuse and instead, happily let Allen hugged her with her back facing him. Although she really wanted to face him. However, she was extremely embarrassed. 

The travel for the two was a nice and enjoyable trip especially for Tang Yu who felt that her distance to her beloved young master had somewhat gotten close.
