Chapter 104 - How about you join us too?

Jin looked at Haruhime and said, "If you want me to come here then, how about join me?"

Haruhime was stunned at his words. After a few seconds she recover and lowered her head.

"...I can't." She said in a soft voice.

"Why?" Jin asked her. Although he knew why he still asked her for her to tell him personally.

"Because..." Haruhime's chin almost touched her brėȧst because of how she lowered her head. She don't want to meet his gaze as she don't know how to answer him.

"If join me, you wouldn't need to worry about anything as the Thousand Abyss will help you in your problem." Jin said to her with a serious expression.

Haruhime glance at him and she quickly averted her eyes. She actually want to join him but she hesitated when she remember Ishtar. Although she heard that he was strong from his story but their number were only small. They couldn't even compare to the number of Ishtar Familia. This was the thing that was holding her back.

Jin already told her about the Thousand Abyss group. He also told her some of their adventure. So she have an idea about Thousand Abyss group.

"Because?" Jin looked at her with a questioning gaze.

Before Haruhime could answer someone answer it for her.

"Because she couldn't leave the Ishtar Familia. Our goddess wouldn't let her leave."

Jin turned around at his back and saw no one. He then heard a voice beside his ear.

"You're coming with me, Haruhime."

He looked at Haruhime and found that she was gone. He looked up at the roof of the house and saw Haruhime was standing there with another women beside her.

Jin observe the women beside Haruhime. The women has a tan skin, purple eyes, and long black hair that covers the right side of her face. She wears clothing reminiscent of a dancer along with various gold decorations and earrings. Her clothes are revealing enough that she could be mistaken as wearing undėrwėȧr.

He know this women. This women is Aisha Belka. A member of Ishtar Familia. Also a level 3 adventurer.

He already felt her presence while they were walking. It's just that he let her took Haruhime with her or else she wouldn't be able to do it even if she rank up by one level. It's all part of his plan.

"Why wouldn't Ishtar let her go? Haruhime's a none combatant. She's just a level 1." Jin looked at Aisha in the eyes while saying.

"You don't have to know." Aisha replied to him.

"Is that so?" Jin said then he looked at Haruhime. "Listen Haruhime, you don't have to worry about anything. Just tell me what you want..."

"Do really don't get it?" Aisha said loudly.

"Yeah. I won't get it if you don't tell me anything." Jin nodded at her.

"Okay, I will tell for you then..." Aisha said to him as she closed her eyes. "You wouldn't be able to do anything to her. You wouldn't be able to save her. You alone can't do anything to change this situation."

Hearing her words, Jin scratched the back of his head and looked at her. He sighed and said, "Hais... I said tell me why Ishtar wouldn't let her go not whether I could do it or not."

"Ha? Of course, she have a power." Aisha said loudly.

"Power...?" Jin muttered.

"Yes. Her power, her youjutsu is called level boosting. So tell me, why would Ishtar-sama let her go?" Aisha said while looking down at him. "Our goddess want a war against Freya Familia. With Haruhime's youjutsu we would be able to have a chance to defeat them."

"Haruhime alone wouldn't be able to buff all of you so, I guess you people would use an item called Killing Stone, am I right?" Jin said with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"I'm surprised that you know Killing Stone. I guess I don't have to explain it to you." Aisha said to him.

"You're in the same Familia, right? Don't you feel anything? You would sacrifice a member of your own familia for something like temporary power. That's unbelievable! Why don't you people just train harder than before." Jin asked her.

Aisha looked at him before she turned her head to looked at the sunrise. She opened her mouth and said, "I'll tell you a story about a certain prȯstɨtutė."

Jin looked at her and didn't say anything. He just listen to her story with a frown on his face.

Aisha tell a story about a certain prȯstɨtutė. The prȯstɨtutė hated someone. A certain renard from far east. No matter what the prȯstɨtutė did for that renard, she just smile like she'd given up on everything. She never tried to make friends. Never learned about the world. She didn't even cry.

The prȯstɨtutė hated her so much... That one day, she did something stupid. She destroyed a precious stone that had been brought into the home to vent her frustrations. Of course, what she'd done was found out. A disgusting toad beat her half to death, and then... She was charmed by her goddess until she went mad.

Ever since then, she's been unable to disobey her goddess's orders.

Aisha looked at him and said, "That's just how this familia works."

Jin sighed after he heard her story. He said, "Change of plan..."

He then lifted up his head and looked at her. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Then, how about you join us too. I'm giving you an offer that will greatly change your life so think about it."

With words shocked Haruhime and Aisha. Aisha didn't think that this man would asked her join his group too.
