"Master Wyatt, don't be polite. I prefer your frank att.i.tude." Asong replied with her signature gentle smile.
"Then, I will follow your orders." Good people are hard to come by, but now that I meet one I decided to show her my respect.
The articles on the grimoire network weren't enough for me to reach such a conclusion about Asong. I had accessed Clown Mask's memories, though it did not have a lot about Asong except that the Supreme leader's henchmen killed her because she was the one who kept trying to pa.s.s a bill that would require the central region to update and add new arrays to their city arrays and one of these city protection arrays was the dome of judgment which would target the dark forces, especially undead.
This was bad news for the supreme leader who was building a Lich army by sacrificing card apprentices and planned to use them to storm the cities of the central region and over through the government. The more I learned about Asong Young the more I felt that she was the reason Aba went on to become the future of humanity in this world.
"Haha, Anna you have found an interesting guy." Asong laughed and turning to Agatha she enquired, "I can understand why Anna is here, what about you guys? What are you two doing this far down the south."
"..." Hearing Asong enquire about them, Aba who was still in Asongs embrace, buried her head deeper into Asong's umbrella frock knowing that it was her fault that Agatha and she were stuck here.
"About that" Agatha did not know how to explain to Asong what was happening here, therefore she was relieved when Anna interrupted.
"They are my hostage, that brat tread to murder someone just because he called her short," Anna answered Asong giving her a brief but enough explanation to know that Aba was the culprit here.
"I see, so your temper hasn't gone yet, huh Aba. You know where you went wrong, you are grown enough to know what to do next so I will not say any further," said Asong as she gently brushed Aba's hair, as Ana's head was buried in her frock.
"Um," Aba nodded her head, which was still buried in Asong's frock, messing it a little.
"Good. It is rare for me to be surrounded by my friends. So let us not waste time and get to the matter at hand and then we all can enjoy a merry dinner. Master Wyatt, I trust Anna, since she trusts you, I will be in your care." the gentleness behind Asongs words did not undermine its authority. Everybody in the room felt like they were a part of the upcoming origin card creation.
"Your majesty Asong, If you don't mind, I would like to cook the dinner." Agatha offered. She wanted to cook for Asong, mostly because she did not wish for the flavorless food of this third-rate city to affect Asong's appet.i.te.
"Sure dear, I would prefer a home-cooked meal over a takeout any day." Asong accepted Agatha's heartfelt offer.
"Thank you, your majesty. If you are carving something please order, I will try my best." Agatha was delighted that Asong had agreed to her request.
"Surprise me," Asong answered, leaving Agatha the heavy burden of choosing the menu for tonight's dinner.
"Leave it to me, I will get right to it," Agatha said overzealously taking the dinner preparation as a challenge.
"Master Wyatt, you won't mind if I use the warehouse kitchen, right?" Agatha asked me.
Hearing Agatha, I turned to look at Anna. After all, we both had made prior plans for tonight. Feeling my gaze Anna looked at me and signaled that it was okay, we could move our dinner date. Asong was Anna's good friend. Anna wanted to spend time with her.
"Sure, if there is some for me," I said, reminding Agatha to not pull the same stunt that she pulled during lunch. And added, "The warehouse kitchen is not well equipped, you will have to be resourceful."
"Thank you, master Wyatt." Said giddy Agatha as she hopped towards the warehouse kitchen. But I frowned as she didn't agree that there would be some for me.
"Master Wyatt, let me know the card ingredients you require I will make them available through my channels." Said Cole reminding me that we should get to preparing for Asong's origin card creation.
"Mr. Cole, you don't have to go through the trouble for small stuff. I have a personal manager who will be responsible for the card ingredients, but if I do require rare card ingredients I will have to trouble Mr. Cole." I said.
"Okay, then." Cole agreed.
"Madam Asong, please introduce me to your fate ingredient," I asked.
"Sure" saying that Asong summoned a fancy but huge wooden storage truck and took out a big oval clamsh.e.l.l, and said, "My fate ingredient is an A-rank deep water clam monster bivalve sh.e.l.l."
"Can I hold it?" I asked Asong looking at the smooth and s.h.i.+ny oval-shaped clam monster bivalve sh.e.l.l about 2 meters in length. It could fit a human inside it.
"Yes, please." Asong pa.s.sed me the bivalve she'll, despite its appearance it was lightweight and very st.u.r.dy. Clam monsters are usually found in S-rank and above ocean field dungeons, deep in the ocean where the water pressure is so strong that even a Card King has a hard time swimming in there, yet these A-rank calm monsters exist there thanks to their strong sh.e.l.ls. Both sides of the bivalve sh.e.l.l would make good s.h.i.+elds. But that would be a waste of such a precious fate ingredient.
"Madam Asong, since you had Mr. Cole search for an innovative card creationist then should I take it that you have a plan for your fate ingredient?" Considering Asong's status and family background hiring a diamond-grade grimoire artist was not a problem but the problem must be that they weren't willing to follow her plans for her origin card.
"Master Wyatt, my plan is straightforward, I will listen to what you can do using my fate ingredient and if it satisfies my preference then we can continue to the next stage but if doesn't then I will compensate for your time."
