To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 216: Can Relax - Light & Dream (Diana)

Seven Colour Mountain / 

Crescent Moon City / 

Crescent Moon City built in the middle of the ruins of Blackish Mountain.

For some reason, right after Greedy Young Master defeated the Demon King Commander, the structure of the ruins of Blackish Mountain was in the shape of a Crescent.

Greedy Young Master took advantage of that and ordered White Wood to build a city based on the unique structure of the ruins of Blackish Mountain.

Now Crescent Moon City became the main base of Seven Colour Mountain territory. 

Because Blackish Mountain was adjacent to Greenish Mountain, people often hiked and camped in locations directed to Crescent Moon City.

Crescent Moon City became a famous tourist attraction during Abyssal Terra's 10th year.

But that didn't last long because soon an East Luminous City would appear, which was also built by the Greedy Young Master.

"CALL ME DRAGON KING!"

Liam surprised when somebody suddenly shouted that really loud. 

The voice came from the same direction as his destination, that is the south suburban of Crescent Moon City. 

Maybe it was someone who was dealing with trouble.

He hopes that he doesn't get dragged into that problem because he doesn't want to spoil his happy moment.

He was wearing the best clothes he had. A brown leather shirt and jean pants. Not to forget to wear flying glasses that are worn over his head.

The flying goggles were only accessories because he was not a pilot or a flying tamed beast rider.

His appearance like a WW1 airplane pilot has become his identity since the Black Hunter attack on Blackish Mountain.

The appearance he copied from his idols, a Legend Hunter as well as a Gryphon Rider.

After quite a while, finally his idol gave a word for him, told him that she wanted to meet him.

Now he is on his way to meet his idol.

Along the way he thought, will his idol recognize him? Because now he has become an independent man not like the coward kid in the past.

He also remembered a blonde girl who was with his idol. If he was not mistaken, her name is Elisa. 

Will his idol bring the Elisa girl along with her? If yes, maybe Liam would think to confess his feeling to the girl. Because the girl is so cute.

"Now, where are they?"

He had arrived at the destination. 

His idol told him to meet them at noon. 

Them? 

Yes. In the letter, his idol told him that she is not alone. That was why he thought his idol would bring Elisa along with her. 

He looked at his watch. The time still 11:AM. He's an hour ahead of the promised time.

Most likely his idol arrived on time. So he had to wait an hour at the place.

He looked for a seat and waited while smiling.

Since he will not meet with just one person, then he had to think of many topics to use.

The city had changed a lot after the Black Hunter group raid incident. The White Wood of the Greedy Dragon Family developed many things related to city buildings.

Within a year, they completed Crescent Moon City. It was not as big as Mutiara City, but Crescent Moon City was a city of pride for miners like him.

He also took part of the city construction. 

"That's it. That's the best topic."

He will use the construction topics related and his own experiences working on city development. 

Crescent Moon City is a beautiful city. Even though all the idea and the construction fund came from the Greedy Young Master, at least everyone who lived in the city could boast about it as their city.

"Do you know that the steep walls of Blackish Crescent Mountain was being hold with the Dragon King's swords?"

"There was indeed an assessment like that coming from White Wood's side. However, the Greedy Young Master did not confirm the information himself. So everyone considered Blackish Crescent Mountain's steep walls to be natural doings."

"I see."

The steep walls surrounding Crescent Moon City were extremely tall walls. 

If that wall collapsed or fell, surely Crescent Moon City would sink into the ground.

"But we don't need to worry, because this city already protected by the Guild barrier. And if this city is completely submerged in the ground, there is an underground passage that connects to the other Mountains."

"Ooh, I just heard about it."

"Isn't that cool?"

"Yeah, that's cool."

The idea came from the miner's association.

At first, the Greedy Young Master said they no need to worry because the Blackish Crescent steep wall was strong enough and won't be easily destroyed. 

But still, the miner did the underground passage themselves. Not to repeat the same mistake as the Black Hunter raid incident a year ago.

"Hm?"

Now that Liam realizes, since earlier, he had not spoken to himself.

Of course he is not talking with himself, because there was a person who responded to his words. 

He turned his head to the right and found a man dressed all in black sitting next to him.

Black t-shirt and black jean pants. Dark black hair with a whitish yellow skin color.

The man was around his 20s. Sit quietly by folding his arms and raising his right leg to his left.

One thing that Liam realized after looking at the man, sharp and cool.

The man's simple but cool appearance made Liam's eccentric appearance look amusing.

Previously, he was very confident about his appearance, but now he feels insecure and thinks: 'Maybe I had time to go home, change clothes, then come back here.'

But when he look at his watch: 'Dang, it's already 11:43!'

It took him half an hour to get from his home to the east suburban. Even if he ran, it would still take him 40-50 minutes to leave, change clothes, and come back.

When he was frustrated, the man next door said something.

"She is here."

Those words had one meaning for both of them. That is, the person they were waiting for had arrived.

But how can they wait for the same person?

"Ars!"

Someone called out towards them, not Liam's name, but the name of the man next door.

The man's name Ars stand up to meet the person. 

A unique grown woman. Has white caramel coloured hair. Plump body with black, brown skin color.

One thing that is synonymous with that woman is, a WW1 pilot outfit that matches her beautiful face.

"What took you so long?" asked Ars.

"Well, I'm sorry. Griphy can't take us four together. So we went up the ground route."

"So you said that you are heavy?"

"W-what?! No!"

The two of them were very close.

Unconsciously, Liam lowered his head. He could not stand to see his idol making out with other men in front of him.

His heart was broken. He thought the reunion with his idol would be an unforgettable memory. But that turned out to be his heartbreak day. 

"Hey, You've been here since earlier, right? Have you seen Liam? I promised him to meet here. But I can't find him. Is he late?"

His idol was asking about him while looking at other direction. 

Feeling heartbreak, he can't just stand and respond to his idol calling. 

Plus, how could the man with her know the name Liam?

"This guy is him."

Unexpectedly, the man who was with Diana knew his name, and the man immediately told Diana that Liam was sitting down in front of them.

"Liam?"

At first, Diana hesitated because she could not see his face. That made Liam feeling guilty. 

His idol has taken the time to meet him. If he pretends to be someone else to avoid prestige, then he is an ungrateful one.

"G-good day, Miss Diana."

So he ventured to stand up and face his idol.

His idol Diana smiled brightly after recognizing him. 

"Ooh! It's really you! I didn't notice you because you've changed a lot!"

"Y-yeah. I've been completely independent during this year. Maybe that's what makes me look mature enough."

His idol grabbing his shoulder while looking at his appearance. 

That should be a happy moment for him. But, because there is his idol lover around, Liam really cannot enjoy the moment. 

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

His idol recognized his discomfort. 

Liam can't just answer that. But somehow he glanced over to the man name Ars.

Diana recognized Liam's glance and got angry at Ars. 

"Ars... did you do something to Liam?"

"What? No. He must be feeling insecure while being around with cool, and handsome dude like me."

"You really are a smug one, aren't you?"

Ars directly breaks Liam's confidence, and the man did not hesitate on doing it. 

Liam is losing his confidence even more. He wanted to go home, and all the way home, he will cry heartbroken.

"Wait, Ars?"

Now he realized who the man was with them. But he doesn't really remember who Ars is and what memories Liam has with him?

"Don't tell that you forgot Ars, Liam?"

On his idol question, Liam feeling guilty. 

"I-I am sorry. I feel like I know him. But I can't recall it."

Liam did not avoid his mistake. 

But he really believed that the man named Ars was a very important person. To the extent that his idol could be very close to him.

"Well, that can't be helped. This man is not actually must be known by people because he is - stop that!"

Diana was annoyed at Ars. But Ars respond to that, annoyed by touching Diana's butt. 

Now that Liam accepted that his idol and the man have a special relationship. However, Liam really couldn't remember the Ars guy.

"Well, if you actually that forgot. This man is actually the owner of this city."

"The owner of Crescent Moon city?"

There is only one man who owned the Crescent Moon City. 

"Greedy Young Master?"

"No, it's Dragon King!"

Liam sure his answer was correct, but got uncorrected.

Diana breath a sigh of annoyed. "He is the guy who stopped the Black Hunter raid a year ago. Didn't he ever hire you as a guide during his visit to Blackish Mountain? We even went to your house to meet your father at that time."

Now that finally Liam remembers. Yes, he is Ars. There is no man who calls himself Ars and holds the title of Greedy Young Master other than the man in front of him.

"M-mi-mister Ars?!"

"Sup, kid?"

Ars finally showed a friendly attitude to him. 

The reason why Liam can't remember Ars was because Ars has been acting like a stranger to him since earlier.

"I am sorry that I didn't recognize you!"

How can Liam forget the man who saved his idol and beat the Black Hunter group a year ago? He really is stupid. 

"Don't worry about it. Besides, I'm just here to pick up this plump girl."

"I'm not a girl anymore. And didn't you promise me to let to play with Liam this day?"

"Did I say I'm going to pick you up now?"

No, Ars did not. 

But Liam still disappointed. Even though his idol was already taken by a proper person, he still disappointed. 

"Hey, why you guys just standing there? Didn't you guys want to meet your little brother?"

Unexpectedly, Diana did not come alone.

Three people, two young men and one young woman, approached from their direction.

The three of them were older than Liam.

Liam thought the three of them wanted to meet Ars. But they approached him instead with an awkward face.

Confused Liam trying to seek help to Diana. But Diana and Ars take a few steps back away from them. 

"They finally reunited."

Diana was truly grateful for the sight she saw.

"Why reunited them now? Because you want to go to 3rd floor?"

"That is also one of the reasons. It took a long time because they still felt guilty for their crimes. And they thought, they no longer deserve to be Liam's brothers."

In front of them, Liam begin to shed tears after the three people around him together took out a piece of photograph. 

The four of them did not exchange words. But they understand each other's feelings. Then the four of them hugged each other and together crying in gratefulness. 

"They still don't think of forgiving themselves. But they knew they couldn't leave their younger sibling alone for long. That's why, I want them to take their light and dream, and start a better life together as a family once more."

The family who had not seen each other for a long time finally got together again.

One of them even thought the three were died long ago. But a miracle reunited them once more.

"Isn't this beautiful?"

"Yeah. It makes me want to make a baby."

"What!?"

"This night, on Raiden Hotel. We will spend the night there and -."

"NO!"

Diana did not understand what Ars was thinking. So, he immediately rejected the idea without compromise.

"Why?"

But that made anger grown on Ars' face.

She did not know why, that face was actually scary. 

That look is like a husband asking his wife why his wife doesn't want to bear children from their marriage?

Ars actually asked about that. But they are not an official husband and wife. But still, Diana did not expect that their relationship will going that far. 

With her face flushed red, Diana answered Ars' question.

"Well, you see, I'm just a grown up woman. I don't mind with our current relationship, but..."

"But?"

"But, I'm a grown up woman, you know."

"And that's what's make you perfect."

Diana cannot take that. 

Ars slowly coming to her while open his arm. 

After being attacked like that, Diana could no longer say no.

She accepted Ars' hug by burying her face in Ars' shoulder.

She didn't want people to see her face burning with love.

"Are you wet?"

"NO!"

Even though he had just melted Diana, but immediately irritated her a few seconds later.

"Ahem!"

Then suddenly, the four brothers and sister who had finished their reunited came to them.

Diana immediately release her hug on Ars and came to them. 

"All right, since you guys have met again, then let's go for a walk! Liam, lead us!"

Diana did not know what was she talking about. She just wanted to stay away from Ars for the day to stay focus. Ars is really dangerous for her. 

That day, they had a peaceful day and a wonderful reunion.
