The Last Day (Part 2)

In the front yard of the temple, those who remained from the teams were preparing for a serious discussion.

Although it was not very visible, some of them were very agitated due to the fact that they had not found anything about the soul ropes.

Cual - Is it getting close to departure time and nothing has been found about those ropes?

He seemed a bit agitated but he was relatively calm unlike others.

Tapos - I don't know what to think ... maybe we are worrying for nothing.

Issa - That teacher confirmed their existence and also told us what he would do to us, but he didn't specify anything concrete... Maybe as long as we leave the temple we will be fine?

Matei - I think so too. Relaxing. 

Paraiso - It's easy for you to say, you didn't have anyone with a rope! Plus, your group is almost complete!

Madeva - Stop it. This is not the time to argue. 

Issa- Where is Anka? She can see the ropes and so can the souls! Maybe she can do something!

Matella - Calm down. Your attitude is too volatile. Do not be influenced by the temple.

Cual - But where exactly did that girl Anka disappear to? I haven't seen her since noon.

Tapos - Do you think the system can do something about the ropes?

Issa - You want to trust those superior aliens? Don't you want your life anymore?!

Which - What is wrong with the system? He seems to be on our side!

Paraiso - Don't be fooled! I have read quite a bit of history from the library and the system is responsible for the mass extermination of many species...

Issa - That's why he has more enemies than allies ... and I read a bit of his history and I couldn't believe it. It is simply too cruel!

Matella- Enough! The topic is closed.

Juliana - What happened Matella?

Matella - Everything related to the system must be limited in speech. Don't forget that we have systems within ourselves. 

Madeva - You don't trust them either?

Matella - It's not that. I think it depends on the situation and on ourselves. The system can be a good tool if you can win its loyalty, but it can also be the biggest weapon against you so be careful.

The little girl next to Matella looks at the group and puffs her cheeks playfully.

- I think the system is good! It is very fun to play with it!

Then the group laughed a little, and the atmosphere was lightened by the child's words.

Then light footsteps were heard from the temple. When they looked up to see who it was, the girl Anka was walking casually towards them.

She even had a slight smile on her face, and the shabby state of her clothes didn't seem to bother her...

No one spoke until the girl sat down on the grass near them.

Alesio and Matella seemed to frown at the sight of the girl. The reason is not clear, but the rest just felt like needles. 

Tapos - Anka did you find something useful?

The girl ignores him.

She pulled a book out of the system, the one he was supposed to learn magic from, and started reading.

Tapos was so angry that his face became red and swollen. This can be a characteristic of cloud people, their skin is easily prone to changing colors with feelings.

Our girl was in a good mood.

And still how good ...

She managed to collect over 10,000 souls and her ability 'I will judge anyone I see' (C-???) was evolved.

Can now narrow the ability's area of ​​effect at will. A very desirable thing because it meant that she was no longer forced to hear and see what she did not want all the time.

Her body actually stabilized because she no longer had so much pressure on it.

Right now, when she entered the garden, she used her eyes to see the state of the souls of those around her, and this string was no longer visible.

As she believed, as long as she closes the gate to the afterlife, the mark placed on the souls will automatically disappear.

It's like the signal on the phone, without an antenna it doesn't get anywhere.

After leaving the planet, these people will have nothing to do.

Now she was relaxed. She didn't really have to do anything. 

So she decided to watch their last drama before the breakup.

' Who knows if I'll ever see them alive again...'

But following this thought came over her a terrible feeling of grief and despair. Suddenly she seemed surrounded by ice.

It only lasted a moment but it was so intense that her mind was shaken.

Only one scene remained in her mind, and the feeling it brought was not beautiful.

Anka was glad that her face was hidden by the book in her hand. She quickly took control of her emotions again, and the memory that briefly came out, was forgotten again. 

The girl's mood was ruined again ...

Anka felt annoyed, that she could not stay relaxed for more than 10 minutes.

She put the book down and looked at the people around her.

Somehow it seemed that there was something that separated her from them. Like a curtain or a chasm.

She looked at Nao and Eve who were not far away hugging each other.

Apparently that Nao man didn't come out of the scene of his precious wife Eve's injury.

Even if the rest complained, they were not affected at all. They lived in their own world and Anka felt very jealous about this.

Of the many memories he could decipher, there was one thing that never changed - loneliness.

Apparently she had no one close to her...

Madeva - Anka, did you find something useful?

The woman on Aojo came close to her at one point.

Anka lost her train of thought and stared blankly at the woman for a moment.

Then she smiled and looked at Matella.

- I kept my part of the agreement.

The one-meter-tall woman on Ferru was surprised for a moment and then seemed relieved. She lowered her head towards Nula and smiled a little, then looked at Anka and said:

- Thank you.

- You don't have to, it was an agreement after all.

Those around seemed to guess a little from the conversation.

Tapos quickly ran to Anka with an unknown intention, but was stopped by Madeva who stood in front of the girl.

Madeva - What do you want to do Tapos?

Tapos - To ask for an autograph ... obviously I want to ask her to help me! Get out of the way Madeva! I don't want to fight but this is about my soul!

Even Issa and Paraiso seemed to have the same thought.

Issa - Did you find a way? Can you help us too?

Paraiso - Do you want something in return? Whatever you want, we'll do anything!

They really looked desperate.

Even Cual clung to Madeva discreetly, but his fists were clenched.

Madeva - I'm sorry, but what can we do to have your help?

Madeva tried to be very polite, obviously she was worried too but she was trying to be calm.

Anka looked for a moment at the scene made by and got bored. Her condition was already ruined and she couldn't even enjoy something that was so fun now...

' Huah ... life is hard ...'

- You can give a weapon, or artifact, material or gem. Something of some value...

Then the girl put her head down and intended to continue reading. She didn't want to be deep in thought anymore.

Then after a while, Madeva came with what looked like a bag made of fine white material. This was filled with some precious stones.

Anka accepted them with satisfaction and waved her hand.

- Cual will be fine even when he leaves the planet.

Madeva - Thank you ...

Next to come was Paraiso. She brought a weapon, a kind of magic bow. It was quite nice, but the details about it will have to wait until the system returns.

Issa taught material woven specially by his tribe.

It was made of a kind of plant that regenerated immediately, so clothes made of this material repaired themselves as long as there was a piece of material intact.

It was something useful and she accepted it with thanks.

Anka is glad that the system left the backpack and inventory available on this planet, otherwise he probably would have suffered a lot of losses.

The last to come was Tapos.

He brought a bell. He claimed he could help the fight by attacking with vibrations, but the girl wasn't too impressed.

Anyway , she accepted him and reassured them that everything will be fine. Then for the rest of the time no one bothered. She was able to read quietly until the familiar teleportation light came through again.
