Saga of The Night God



"Are you really leaving?" Kael inquired, his face reflecting a deep sadness as he stood by the door, reminiscent of a soldier's wife bidding farewell to her loved one embarking on an endless war.

Erwin observed Kael's expression and sorrow, a smile forming on his face. He reassured, "Come on, don't be childish. I'm just moving to a place ten minutes away from here."

After leaving the inn, Erwin returned to his quarters and spent time with his only male friend, Kael. Unfortunately, Kael couldn't join the festivities the previous night due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Since morning, Kael had been behaving in this manner. They had breakfast together, and Erwin treated him to the most extravagant meal on the menu. However, Kael consumed it with a sorrowful expression on his face.

Erwin affectionately patted his friend's shoulder and uttered, "Remember to visit me whenever you have the time, alright? I'll make sure to do the same." 

As he spoke, a strikingly cold and towering beauty arrived at the scene. Erwin's face lit up upon seeing her, but Kael's expression grew even sadder. "Hey, Miss Valara, meet my friend Kael," Erwin said, introducing them.

"Kael, this is Miss Valara. She's Professor Adelaide's assistant and a skilled alchemist as well," Erwin explained, facilitating the introduction. Both Kael and Valara nodded in response but remained silent.

After the introduction, Erwin turned to Valara and inquired, "Did the professor send you to assist me with settling in?"

Valara nodded silently, her expression still icy. Erwin remained unfazed by her cold demeanor and pressed on. "Please convey my gratitude to her. But may I ask, where is she?"

Erwin shook his head but inwardly grinned proudly at himself, his inner thoughts chiming in with a touch of humor. 'Well, I suppose if I wanted to, I could make her stay in bed for a whole week, but alas, I'm not that much of a sadist,' he chuckled inwardly.

Valara nodded in agreement to Erwin's response and spoke up, "Well then, let's get moving."

Erwin also nodded and turned his attention to Kael. "Take care, my friend," he said, giving him a warm hug. He then added with a playful tone, "Remember to sprinkle some fun into your life too. Maybe ask your master for a bit of time off now and then."

Returning the hug, Kael flashed a warm smile and replied, "I'll give it my best shot."

Erwin gave Kael a reassuring pat on the back. "Alright, my friend. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to come to me, alright?"

Kael nodded appreciatively and added, "Now, don't keep Miss Valara waiting. Off you go!"

Erwin grinned and gestured for Valara to proceed. "Well then, goodbye," he said with a playful wave. "Let's go, Miss Valara."

With a nod, Valara began walking, and soon they vanished from Kael's field of view. As he watched them go, a bittersweet feeling lingered in his heart. Though he would miss his friend's company, Kael knew that new experiences and opportunities awaited them both. He took a deep breath, ready to embrace his own journey and the adventures that lay ahead. With a determined smile, he turned away from the departing duo and set off on his own path, eager to discover what the future held in store.

Erwin masked his sadness in front of Kael, but deep down, he felt a pang of sorrow at the prospect of his friend leaving. He had even offered Kael to stay with him in his new room in the student section, but unfortunately, Kael's master didn't permit it. It was a reminder that in life, people come and go, and new things are encountered along the path towards the inevitable end.

Erwin understood that these partings were an inevitable part of life's journey, and while he would miss his dear friend, he knew he had to accept it and carry on. He made a silent vow to himself that he would cherish the memories they had created together and keep them close to his heart.

With a heavy but determined mind, Erwin continued forward, reminding himself that life was filled with both farewells and new beginnings. "And big butts," He said absentmindedly, his gaze inadvertently fixated on Valara's butt movements, up and down.

"Professor Adelaide has paid for your room at the Robious dorms. You should express your gratitude to her when you meet her next time," Valara stated matter-of-factly as they made their way towards the student dormitories.

"I will, but what's so special about the Robious dorms?" Erwin asked curiously.

Valara smiled mischievously and began to spin a whimsical tale. "Ah, the Robious dorms, also known as the Dorms of Royalties! Legend has it that they are exclusively assigned to descendants of kings, emperors, or the esteemed lineage of arcane mages and grand knights. Every student there hails from a grander background than you can imagine!"

"Does that mean there will be girls too?" Erwin asked with a sparkle of excitement in his eyes.

Valara glanced at Erwin, slightly puzzled, and replied, "Yes, of course there will be girls. Why do you ask?"

Erwin's smile widened as he chuckled to himself. 'Oh, it's just that I have a dream to fulfill, one that I couldn't quite achieve back in my college dorms... to be a gigolo.'

As the conversation shifted to the topic of girls, Valara's face lit up with a sudden realization. "Oh, I almost forgot..." she began, a hint of excitement in her voice. "Before I met you, I was actually here to collect your identity key earlier." With a flourish, she reached into her pocket and retrieved a star-shaped badge, glimmering in the sunlight. "This badge will grant you access to your room, ensuring you can settle in comfortably."

Erwin accepted the badge, examining it with a mix of curiosity and gratitude. "Thank you, Valara. This will certainly come in handy," he said, his voice laced with appreciation.

However, Valara's expression shifted as she continued, her tone carrying a touch of confusion. "While I was at the administrative office, something peculiar happened. I encountered two women who claimed to be your servants. They insisted that they were here to arrange your dormitory and make it ready for your arrival. At first, I hesitated, but then I decided to trust them and let them into your room."

Erwin's eyes widened in surprise and a tinge of concern washed over him. "Wait, you let them into my room? Did you ask for their names?" he asked, his voice revealing a hint of worry.

Valara shook her head, her expression mirroring Erwin's concern. "I didn't ask for their names," she admitted, a touch of regret in her voice. "I assumed they were your trusted servants since they seemed quite confident and mentioned being sent specifically to assist you."

Erwin's mind raced with various thoughts, and amidst the excitement and concern over the unexpected visitors in his dormitory, he momentarily forgot about the two assasian duo he had encountered earlier that night. It was only now, as Valara mentioned the women who claimed to be his servants, that the memory resurfaced, causing a mix of worry and guilt to wash over him.

"Oh no," Erwin exclaimed, his eyes widening with realization. "I completely forgot about them. I promised them they could stay in my dorm room."

Valara looked at Erwin with a puzzled expression. "Who are these visitors you mentioned earlier?" she inquired, seeking clarification.

Erwin hesitated for a moment, realizing the slip of his words. He quickly composed himself and replied with a sheepish grin, "Oh, nothing to worry about. Yes, those women are indeed my servants."

Valara raised an eyebrow, sensing there was more to the story than Erwin was letting on. However, she decided not to press further, trusting that Erwin had his reasons for keeping it vague. After all, they had other pressing matters to attend to.

"Alright then," Valara responded with a hint of curiosity still lingering in her voice. "Let's head to your dormitory and address the situation promptly. We need to ensure everything is in order."

Erwin nodded in agreement, relieved that Valara didn't probe further into the details. Together, they continued their journey toward the dormitory, their footsteps echoing with a mixture of intrigue and uncertainty. Behind them, the mystery of the unexpected visitors lingered, reminding Erwin that there were surprises awaiting him within the confines of his dorm room.

Soon, they arrived at the dormitory area, a bustling hub of student activity. Multiple buildings stood before them, each housing countless dorm rooms. Erwin and Valara found themselves amidst a vibrant scene, with students bustling in and out of their respective accommodations, carrying bags, engaging in animated conversations, and creating an atmosphere filled with youthful energy.

Erwin's eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the diverse architecture of the dormitory buildings. Some had modern designs like his world but with charm of magic, adorned with sleek glass windows and colorful facades, while others exuded a more traditional charm with brick walls and ivy-clad exteriors. Laughter and chatter filled the air, intermingling with the occasional sound of a door closing or the hum of music drifting from open windows.
