System In Another World

Chapter 67 - Bothering Eclair

"Can you let me see the phoenix stone?" Jellal asked Eclair once again.

"I don't want." Eclair said coldly as she stood up and picked up the yellow bird in her arms.

"Eclair, right? Can you at least not act coldly to us? We save that bird just now, you know?" Jin said to her.

He know that Eclair dislike wizard because of what happened to her past. Maybe, she don't even know why she dislike wizard because of her memory loss. She wandered around the continent for hundreds of years and she don't have anyone to accompany her in her journey. It must be pretty lonely if you don't have any friends to talk for four hundred years. She only know that the phoenix stone were important to her and there's people that are after the stone.

'Maybe, she will remember her past if I lead her to boundary forest where her father's last momento is there.' Jin thought as he rubbed his chin.

Looking at Eclair who didn't answer him, Jin walked beside her and continue asking.

"Then, do you know what is that stone?"

"You don't know, right?"

Eclair was annoyed at him. She turned her head and said with an annoy expression.

"Can you stop talking? I hate noisy wizard."

"Okay, Okay, I will stop for now. I will wait for you to come to me if you want to know something about that stone." Jin said as he shrugged his shoulder. He just walked beside Eclair.

Caramille was looking at the two before she turned her head to Ur. She asked, "What should we do now?"

Ur sighed and said, "Well, sometimes Jin wouldn't even follow the plan he devise. So for now let's just follow him."

Ur and Jellal walked forward and follow behind Jin.

Mercphobia and Caramille looked at each other before they followed them.

...

The group travel for a week.

Jin kept bugging Eclair making her mad. She sometimes lashed out at him but Jin just shrugged his shoulder at this.

Jellal was also bugging her to let him see the phoenix stone she have. Eclair always refuse to his request. She didn't want to go the phoenix stone in her hands. Jellal couldn't do anything about it, in the end he gave up.

Ur separate from the group to gather information about the Grimiore Hearts.

Mercphobia and Caramille just stay with Jin and the rest. Jin also put a mark of Thousand Abyss in their body as a symbol of them being part of Thousand Abyss. He then gave both of them a mask of Thousand Abyss. From that day they become an official member of Thousand Abyss.

One day, while bugging Eclair with his never ending question Jin suddenly slip his mouth.

"I know a place where you can find the half of phoenix stone."

Or so he thought...

"I know that place too." Eclair replied to him with an annoyed expression.

"Eh??" Jin was surprised at her answer.

Eclair looked at him and said, "I've been remembering some things from the past, lately."

"Hmmm... Is that so.. " Jin looked at her and ponder something in his mind.

'She's already started to remember something from her past! Isn't this a little too early from the plot? If she remember already started to remember her past then I'm sure that she already remember the boundary forest. That forest is her destination.' Jin thought as he rubbed his chin.

He looked at her and thought, 'She's starting to open up to us. I guess she would answer me if I ask the question.'

He bent down and took a peek at her face and asked, "Do you remember something about where you should go or what you should do?"

Eclair looked at him for a while before she said, "I do."

She then turned her head and walked ahead of him.

Jin just looked at her back and smile.

"I'm really sorry about her. She's a kind girl but she dislike magic." Momon apologize to him.

Momon is the yellow bird that Jellal save from the pack of wolves a week a go. And he's also Eclair's only friend. Eclair named him Momon stating the he was supposed to be a flying squirrel.

Jin looked at Momon and said, "Don't worry about that. I can see that she's starting to open up to us. It won't be long before we can talk like friends."

He then looked at his back, to Mercphobia. He already plan to restrain his magic power using some special cuffs that council use but that alone wouldn't be enough. Currently Jellal was studying about sealing magic. They would first seal Mercphobia's magic power since they were heading to the town or else all the mage who was s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to magic power would be scared shitless if they saw Mercphobia.
