Chapter 87: Encounter with the Tribal Barbarians

[Azure Kingdom, White Castle, Asagi's work room]

A few hours back Asagi was comfortably sitting on her chair as she scuffles over the pile of documents in the table , while occasionally munching down a mint that she had previously bought in one of the stores in her capital. During this time, it had been approximately about 3 days since the initial talk regarding the pharmaceutical building.

At this point in time, the building itself was already finished in construction both externally and internally. Also the pharmaceutical building itself consist of three floors. The first floor serves as a store for medicine and prescription, while the second floor serves for medical works including surgery, lastly the third floor serves as a procurement location for the medicine from its raw materials.

Even thought it is still lacking arrangements and equipment's in the inside to fully operate, just finishing a huge building by itself in three days can already be taxing both physically and mentally. Due to exhaustion, Asagi herself was resting in her office as she waited for her mana pool to replenish.

Even the viscount together with his family were shocked by the speed of construction, nevertheless since the establishment was finished, all he needed now was to transfer the equipment from his domain towards this kingdom's capital. Naturally such procedure requires a lot of paper to be signed. Since a signature was needed for the ruler of the two kingdoms to be signed, Viscount Bruce has no choice but to firstly approach Queen Celestia for her approval.

During this timeframe, his daughter Katarina was busy on doing what she wills all around the castle. To be exact she was practically stalking Michael wherever he went for the past 3 days. Even Asagi herself caught her in the act when she found her hiding at the corner of the corridor while she was talking to Michael in the hallway. Naturally Michael himself also noticed her action, nevertheless since he doesn't understand human's tendency to stalk, he had no choice but to regard it as normal as he let her be.

When Asagi learned that Michael was letting Katarina stalk him willingly, she couldn't help but pray for his peaceful future as she imagined Katarina obsessively stalk him to the point of being sadistic about it. Michael has no idea just how dangerous it is to have a stalker, much more a sadistic woman at that.

At one point Katarina even boldly entered Asagi's office during her rest as she begun investigating Michael's information. Such question is like his place of birth, his parents, his hobby, his birthday, his likes and dislikes, his preferred genre, and even women aside from Asagi that he occasionally interacted with. Due to that she had no choice but to come up with a false background for one of her system characters. In fact she expected it that there will be a time wherein she needed to come up with a false background, but she never expected it to be this way.

Due to coming up with practically false background for Michael, Katarina seemed satisfied with the info while keeping an eye to the girls that were surrounding Michael. She's even being wary of Anna, a child who wasn't a teenager, a only girl among the twin, but her main focus of being wary is both Sandalphon and Ariel who were closer in rank to Michael. Nevertheless she still kept tabs to other maids in the castle.

If Asagi could label her, then she have no doubt that she will label her as "Crazy".

In that moment Gabriel then came in into Asagi's office as he raised up an issue regarding the remnants of the demonic beast lurking along the mountain ranges.

"Your majesty!!!"

"!!!"

"My men found some traces of remnants of the demonic beast roaming on the steep surface of the mountain range, what shall we do about them?"

"Remnants? You mean there are still living demonic beast?"

"... Yes!"

"They don't pose much threat do they?"

"For us no, but for the ecosystem of the northern continent, yes"

"I see, so you mean just by their presence alone, the ecosystem of the northern continent may be in jeopardy"

"Yes your majesty!"

"In that case, deal with them as you see fit"

With that order alone, Gabriel bowed down in polite as he quickly marched out of the kingdom in order to get rid of the remaining demonic beast on the surface. Through that, the current situation then ensue.

[Azure Kingdom/ Snow peak Mountain]

Back to the present moment, Gabriel himself unexpectedly found some inhabitants far bigger then himself living in the mountain ranges. After dealing easily with the dead demonic beast under his foot, he moved his gaze towards the two humans in front of him who is somewhat also alarmed by his presence.

One was wearing a plain long ragged dress, while the other was wearing such a barbarous outfit, nevertheless they were still human based on the found traits on their body. At that moment when he was about to ask them some questions, the barbaric looking guy about 6'4 begun asking first while holding up its weapon.

"Who are you? where did you come from? what tribe are you? what's your purpose on coming to our territory?{"

Hearing such ungrateful tone as if he was wronged, Gabriel suddenly took a step back in shock as he held his ground and begun replying back.

"What do you mean tribe? I am Gabriel! one of the Archangels of the heavenly kingdom, here with a mission to hunt down this demonic beast... I don't know who you are, but i advise you to watch your tone" said by Gabriel as he kept back his weapon and confidently stood high despite being towered over by the Alaric

"Heavenly Kingdom? I have no knowledge of such tribe, plus hunting prey in our territory is forbidden by the pact of the southern tribes... did you know that your action could lead to war?" roared back by Alaric

"What the hell? I just saved you dumbass! If it weren't for me, both of you would have died... Plus a kingdom is not a tribe!!!" retorted by Gabriel

"Yes! i do thank you for saving us, but saving us and stepping into our territory are different matters all together" countered by Alaric

"What kind of backwater thinking is this!!!" exasperated by Gabriel

In that moment while both Alaric and Gabriel were talking to each other, Leila then sneakily intervened as she calmly thank Gabriel's help from earlier.

"Umm... Excuse me! thank you for saving us earlier, I'm really grateful that you arrived on time"

Upon seeing such heartfelt gratitude, Gabriel then pointed out.

"Finally! a sensible person is around!"

At Gabriel's exclamation, Alaric then blocked his view on Leila as he bravely confronted the archangel himself. At that display, Gabriel doesn't know whether such an action was a show of bravery or foolishness, but he do know that for some reason his presence alone seemed foreign for such natives of the land.

At one point he even wondered if this feeling was what Michael felt when he confronted the natives back at the port town.

The contrast of hospitality from the natives of the middle continent and northern continent is just that different. If the natives from the middle continent exudes the aura f welcoming atmosphere, the northern continent however exude the aura of isolation. It is as if their presence itself was alien to them despite both species looking like humans (Putting aside the wings).

Sensing that the hostility and irritation on both sides is starting to grow, Leila then nudged away Alaric with her pitiful strength as she stood in front of Gabriel.

"I'm sorry about their manners, its juts that your presence alone seemed like a threat for them.... after all they as a tribal people seemed posed great importance on territorial rights, and you suddenly entering their lands might seem like a declaration of war"

"No need to explain yourself, i fully understand your point... its just that the border of your territory from one another seemed unnoticeable, so i have no knowledge whether i intrude one's territory or not" replied by Gabriel

"I see... well i think if you explain your circumstances, they might understand"

"... By the way, aren't you somehow weirded out by me?"

"... What do you mean?" asks by Leila

"I have wings..."

"Huh? Oh! Oh my!!!"

Hearing her tone of voice, It seemed like Leila hadn't noticed the wings protruding out of Michael's back. However once he pointed it out, the person herself seemed shocked by such trait as she couldn't help but be amazed by its structure.

At first she was curious as she couldn't comprehend how such a thing was possible, she even questioned it how Gabriel could balance such huge wings with only its back supporting it. Nevertheless just by its appearance alone, Leila couldn't help but be immersed in her own thoughts.

Just as Leila was about to lose in her own curiosity, Alaric quickly snapped her back to reality as he talked to her in a low grumbling tone. In response to that Leila begun nodding her head in understanding as she too explained Gabriel's circumstances in a low voice. Even thought both of them seemed to be in disagreement for some time in their earlier conversation, they soon came into conclusion to heed for the tribe chief's guidance.

After all Gabriel himself accidentally intrude in their tribes territory with no knowledge of tribal borders, thus his action can be permitted to be ignored in the first warning. however the same couldn't be said for the second time. To further tackle the current situation, they had no choice but to return back to their tribe while reporting such incident.

Thankfully Leila herself had finished collecting the needed herbs for her companions, thus she had no qualms on going back. With no further ado, they then diced to climb back up in the mountains with Gabriel in toe.

"You! You had intruded our tribes territory with no knowledge about the border at all, i cant judge you for that, i have no choice but to consult our tribes chief... I want you to come with us in order to discuss your verdict"

Hearing such proclamation, Gabriel couldn't help but be flabbergasted as he unknowingly showed a wary state. However before he could start showing off his hostility to such barbarous people, Leila quickly intervened and further explained such situation.

"Hey! Hey! we are not trying to capture you! we just couldn't decide what to do to you no, so we have no choice but to consult the tribes chief and your presence will be needed to decide the verdict... But don't worry! I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get apprehended or be treated badly, after all you had no knowledge about their borders right?"

"... Yes..."

"Then you don't have to worry about anything at all, after all  since your intrusion is an accident... then I'm pretty sure that you would be left off easily"

Upon hearing Leila's words, Gabriel relaxed his body as he released all the tenseness of his being to his surroundings. After calming down Gabriel simply nodded, causing Alaric to snort in indifferent as he led the way back to the camp. Seeing Alaric leave, Leila then followed behind him, which was then soon followed by Gabriel.

While climbing up the mountain, Gabriel used his rune law of space to establish a telepathic connection towards Asagi as he plans to report what just happened in the surface.

[Azure Kingdom, Office Room]

At the same time back on Asagi's office room where she had just finished all the documents needed to sign for the day, Asagi herself was currently indulging on the snacks and coffee that she had received from Anna who was just recently returned back from the academy. With this stress free time of environment, Asagi doesn't want such time to even pass for a moment.

After all it was already quite rare for her to relax due to her tight schedule for this past near months of non-stop work.

I that moment as if rejecting her will of stress free environment, she suddenly sensed Gabriel's attempt for telepathic connection to her as she grumblingly allowed the connection to establish. With that both of them started to converse telepathically

[Asagi: "Yes?"]

[Gabriel: "Your majesty!"]

[Asagi: "Hmm?"]

[Gabriel: "I've got news to report"]

[Asagi: "Okay"]

[Gabriel: "I've been captured"]

[Asagi: "Oh! i see"]

[Gabriel: "....."]

[Asagi: "....."]

[Gabriel: "....."]

[Asagi: "....."]

[Gabriel: "....."]

[Asagi: "!!!!!"]

[Gabriel: "....."]

[Asagi: "!?!?!?!?!"]

[Gabriel: "....."]

[Asagi: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"]

[Gabriel: "....."]

[Asagi: "Explain yourself!!!"]

[Gabriel: "Understood"]

With that Gabriel explained everything that happened from the very beginning when he met strange looking natives down on the surface.
