Chapter 149: CHAPTER 149 – Home-Sweet-Home.
That day, for the first time, Noctura also saw Alex\'s ability to take out items.
Then she saw Alex taking a black and red colored book in front of her.
"Place your paw over it, close your eyes, and think that you want to read it," Alex spoke as he saw Noctura looking at him with a confused gaze.
Noctura did just that and the next second, she could feel a new skill in her mind.
She could tell what that skill could be used for and how to use that skill.
"Thank you, Master."
She thanked Alex, but Alex looked at her with a frown.
"You don\'t need to thank me for these things, these are my responsibilities," Alex spoke before he pushed his hand in the system storage and bought out two other items.
Noctura just looked at Alex, as she smiled inwardly.
Alice and Ann also smiled as they heard Alex\'s words as they heard the same line before.
"Take this, it is a \'Teleporter\', it will teleport you to somewhere random in a 1000-meter radius, which will give you enough time to run away if you were to face an enemy that is stronger than you."
Alex spoke as he showed a marble made of blue and grey color mixed.
Noctura nodded her head as she looked at the last item that Alex had taken out from the storage.
"This here is a healing potion, and it can even make your limbs regrow," Alex pointed at a tube with translucent green liquid inside of it.
But Alice and Ann were shocked when they heard the description of the healing portion.
There was a catch that the healing potion can\'t heal an attack from someone at EX-rank or higher, but it worked fine if it was someone below EX-rank.
Alex who saw Alice and Ann staring at the tube of healing potion with shock, voiced out.
"We will never need it as I will be there with you guys every time, but if in case we need it, I have them stored in my storage, don\'t worry."
Alex could tell what they were thinking, after all, regrowing a limb was something that even S-rank raiders couldn\'t do without putting in considerable effort.
Alice and Ann nodded as they heard Alex\'s words, as they smiled at him.
"Now, where do you want to go?" Alex then turned toward Noctura.
She said that she wanted to go out, but she didn\'t tell them where.
"I want to go to a place where I can hunt as well, so I would like to go to a forest."
Noctura replied without any hesitation.
Alex thought for a while before he nodded his head.
"I know the perfect place," Ann suddenly spoke up as she saw Alex nodding his head.
.......................
Listening to Ann\'s advice, they decided to leave Noctura in the \'Emerald Peak National Park\', and Alex used his 99 % of mana to make a place for Noctura to stay.
"Even if the strongest beast in this place attacks it, it won\'t break, so you can live here without worry," Alex spoke as he patted the igloo-like structure he created from rocks.
They talked with Noctura for a while before they waved bye and moved away.
//// Author Note: For the people thinking how Notura can store those things that were given to her, she has a storage ring as well, it\'s just that her storage ring is not actually a ring, instead, it is a bracelet, and it was created by Alex himself. ////
.....................…
For the first day, Noctura was fine as she could control herself and live without Alex, but the next day she started missing Alex a bit too much.
She even ran back to their villa only to find Alex, Alice, and Ann had left to clear the gates.
She came back to the forest and started killing beasts here and there, just so she could calm down, but none of that helped.
Noctura cried a lot, and when it\'s said lot, it means a lot.
She cried for a whole day continuously, before she remembered Alex\'s words in the Gray Goblin gate.
\'No!!\'
She shouted inwardly as she ran at the fastest speed she could and crashed into the structure built by Alex.
Her head started bleeding, but it was what she wanted.
\'I don\'t want to be pathetic.\'
\'I was the one who wanted this.\'
\'I was the one who asked for this.\'
\'Why am I crying now?\'
\'Master would be disappointed….\'
\'I don\'t want to disappoint Master.\'
With all that going on in her head, Noctura started controlling her emotions slowly and steadily.
It took her two days to be able to use the skill perfectly, and by now she had started missing Ann and Alice as well, but she held strong.
She was finally able to eliminate her intense emotions on the sixth day and just as she did that, she broke through the SS-rank.
It felt like all those extra emotions were stopping her progress.
.....................…...
"You\'ve grown stronger," Alex spoke as he looked at Noctura who was lying with her head on Alice\'s lap.
He then looked at his palm that was holding the blue and grey marble or the Teleporter.
\'She didn\'t need it in the end,\' He muttered inwardly.
Noctura gave it back to him when they returned to their place a while ago, and although Alex wanted her to keep it, he accepted it when he saw her puppy-eyed look.
"Un," Noctura nodded with a hum.
She was wagging her tail in happiness as she was being patted by Alice.
They were sitting on the sofa in the hall of their villa, and this is where they had been sitting for a while.
Noctura was very happy after finally meeting her family as she missed all of them for the whole week.
"Ah… It feels so good to be back finally…." Ann came out of the kitchen with a water bottle as she spoke with a sigh.
She had just come out of a quick shower and now she was just thinking of having a good sleep on her bed.
"Home Sweet Home," Alex spoke with a smile and Alice chucked as well.
(I know this chapter might feel a bit rushed, but if I elaborated everything, then it would\'ve taken two chapters if not more, and it would\'ve been only Noctura in those chapters.
So, please bear with me as the interesting part is about to start.)
