Chapter 45 Plenty Of Room

I hopped up to the edge, and everyone was looking at me with stunned and shocked looks, except for Lady Katarina. She was looking at the big hole in the ground where most of the Manors back yard once was.

"Well, that was not what I had expected, but I guess we will have to commission a large pool rather than trying to fill it all back in," Lady Katarina sighed, but I shook my head.

"I will fix some of it tomorrow, but it will take a couple days to grow it back to be the same if that is okay?" I asked, and Lady Katarina blinked at me.

"Can you fix this all? Never mind, don't answer that. Of course, you can; silly of me to question after I just watched my life flash before my eyes! I think I will end the night here, but you are more than welcome to keep drinking. I have just had more than enough excitement for one day," Lady Katarina said with a weak smile, still visibly shaken.

,m "I will help you back to your room," Senna said with Trina at her side.

I hadn't seen her arrive, but it must have been when I was in the crater. She stared at me until Lady Katarina reached her, then she turned to help her with Trina.

I sighed and looked at everyone else, but they all looked rough. I had to admit I was worried when the Holy Beholder hit, but I had to do some pretty crazy things that had just come naturally to me.

"I hope everyone is okay, but stop staring at me and sit down. I need a drink," I said and returned to the couch.

I wanted to fix some of the ground, but I had to burn almost all my mana while using Pure Magic to slam barrier after barrier. I would be putting that one on a very short leash from now on, but I was done thinking about that creature.

"So Tallia knows you already, you have the power to stop a Goddess, and you can prevent a disaster that should have wiped out most of the city in a matter of seconds. Galio, do you really have no memories?" Eliza asked me as she came to sit beside me, taking one of my hands.

"That woman was the closest thing I have to memory, but it isn't even that. It was just a feeling of deep connection, but I couldn't tell you what that meant. When I asked her about it, Tallia told me that if I took her hand, everything here would end for me. I don't know what that means exactly, but there are women worldwide that need my help, whether they know it or not. When I am done in this world, however long it takes, then I will seek her out myself," I explained, and Eliza nodded with a smile.

"I will probably be dead by then, so that sounds good to me," Eliza giggled, and I tickled her, making her laugh out loud.

That seemed to release some of the tension in the air, and everyone sat down finally.

"I never expected her to do something so brash like that. I can agree that you are important, but Tallia was right. You saved everyone, and she doesn't deserve the position. The position is elected, but there is no way to demote someone after ascending. There has been talking among many of the Seraph, Valkyrie, and Archangels about how erratic she has been acting lately," Breya explained, and I nodded.

"Well, I will be watching over her starting tomorrow. Not really thrilled about that, but it is what it is. Let's have a drink," I said, grabbing my cup.

Everyone else grabbed drinks and toasted, thanking me for saving them. I nodded in appreciation, but this was partially my fault; but I could have never seen this coming.

"Does this mean she will be staying with us?" Eliza asked.

"You know, I haven't even asked you yet if that was okay. Nor about these other two misfits. I suppose I could just get a couple rooms somewhere, but I would ask that you let these two stay for the night, at least," I said, pointing over at Asha and Seraphina, but Eliza put up her hands.

"No, No, No! We have plenty of room here. I would much prefer if you stayed with me in the manor," Eliza said quickly, and I nodded.

"Good, I would prefer that as well, but I didn't want to start inviting people to stay here with us without asking you," I said, and Eliza nodded.

"That is kind of you, but my house is your house while we stay here. Plus, the girls are mostly harmless, except for the Holy Beholder. She will still be an Angel," Eliza said, but I shook my head as I took another drink.

"Nope. I will seal her off when she gets here, just like Asha and Seraphina. Then I will be having a private talk with her," I said, but there would be more than talking.

I was pretty upset about the actions of this… woman, and I would be disciplining her for what she had done. Still, I kept calling her a creature, but that was me being childish since she was clearly a person.

"Well, that is good then. How about we drop this for now? Why don't you go see how the Vampire girls are doing? They both look worried, but you should understand why. It might be best for you to comfort them a bit. I know they made you mad, but maybe a bit of sugar rather than all salt might be good for them, right?" Eliza asked, and I gave her a kiss.

"You are far wiser than you give yourself credit for. I hope that you can put that same effort in tomorrow with your studies," I said with a grin, and Eliza rolled her eyes, pushing me playfully, so I kissed her again.
