Chapter 519 Volume 7 Epilogue The woes of the Rookie

1 MONTH LATER.

INSIDE A WELL-FURNISHED ROOM.

A woman, whose body was covered with numerous bruises and wounds could be seen inside this room, with her face holding a pained expression as she sat on her bed.

Grunts of pain can be heard from her mouth as she moved, a sound which was amplified with the ambient silence of her room.

Upon laying down on her bed, the woman closed her eyes as she attempted to sleep. She clutched herself body into a fetal position, with only her legs dangling from the bed’s edge.

"..."

This woman seemed to be close to the point of sleep, but something inside her mind appeared to be stopping her from drifting into the dreamland.

"Fufufu Wisteria, why is your mood bad again today? Was it because of the training, or was it because of me?" A voice inside the woman’s mind began talking to the woman as she attempted to sleep, something which kept her awake even with her drowsiness.

Hearing this voice also made the woman bristle, with curses slowly uttered out of her mouth.

"Shut it Astria, I don’t want you snooping in on me again. If you want to observe what I do, then do it after I sleep." The bruised woman, who was no other than Wisteria herself, snarled inwardly to the voice inside her mind.

"Since I am about to sleep, then you should sleep too, Astria." Wisteria added as she clenched her fists. "I don’t want someone like you talking while I snooze!"

"Aw come on, Wisteria. You know it’s impossible for me to not snoop on you." The voice, who was owned by Astria, replied cheerfully. "My soul and your soul are inside your body, so whatever you see, I also see. Just like that thing that you did last night with that erotic magazine~"

"Eh-w-what are you talking about Astria? What erotic magazine?" If Wisteria’s body could jerk like mad, she could have done it now. But due to her injuries, the best that Wisteria can do was to squirm in embarrassment as Astria began to embarrass her again.

"Fufufu, I never expected you to like beefcakes, Wisteria. I thought you’re the type who likes slender men..." Astria said, with a hint of salaciousness in her tone. "But I admit that muscular men are great too... Sigh, I wonder how would Alex look like if he’s a beefcake. Would he still be that handsome?"

"H-hey, Astria, if you are talking about that magazine, then does that mean that you saw me-"

"Fufufu Wisteria, you were really passionate on using that magazine. How many times did you shake the bed last night again? Ah it’s was seve-"

"Ah, just shut up Astria! This is why I hate talking to you! You just make my life worse!"

"You say that, but you still did not research a way to expel me. Tell me Wisteria, do you really hate me now, after all the help that I gave you for the last month?"

"Ugh...."

With this reply by Astria, Wisteria’s tense body flopped limply on the bed, making her look like a defeated villain. Her face, which was contorted with pain earlier, now only had sadness on it.

"F**k that Alexander! If it weren’t for him, I would not be like this!" Wisteria finally cursed out after a few minutes of silence. "So what if he saved your life? He did it at the expense of mine! Of course I will not be happy with tha-"

"Are you really angry towards Alex? Even after all that he’d done for the Four Moons World?" Astria patiently replied, as if she was not angered by Wisteria’s words. "You know, he was the one who freed you and the residents of the Four Moons World from Emperor LItch’s brainwashing. Such kind of help... is not something that you can forget."

"..."

To these words by Astria, Wisteria found herself unable to refute.

After all, what Astria just said were all right.

The tumultuous clash between Alex and Emperor Litch one month ago has brought forth a series of changes in the Four Moons World.

Its laws, which were under the control of Emperor Litch before, were now freed from his grasp after his defeat.

With this, the brainwashing effects of Emperor Litch’s Conqueror’s Aura were removed from the residents of the Four Moons World, making them regain their real ’identity’.

From being a center of worship, Emperor Litch’s Undying Empire has now turned into a disgusting place for the Four Moons World residents.

Gone were the days where these people blindly worshipped Emperor Litch. Now, every single resident of the Four Moons World knew who they really were, and they knew who they should really trust.

In shorter terms, the Four Moons World and its residents are now free, and they have nothing to be involved with Emperor Litch from now on.

This freedom made almost everyone hail Alex and his allies as the hero of the Four Moons World. This distinction was something that Wisteria approved of, but her innate anger towards Alex’s actions to her made her want to question him more.

"Hmph, so what if he freed this world from Emperor LItch? Even if he freed us, he still brought us more problems!" Wisteria exclaimed as she opened the window of her room. This action allowed Wisteria to look at the night sky above her, which at this point, was not covered by the four moons anymore.

Instead, only a planet could be seen at the sky, whose size was almost large enough to cast a shadow on everything.

Seeing this planet made Wisteria tremble, a reaction that made Astria sigh.

"Astria, look at that f**king planet! That’s a planet brought in by Alexander before he left, right?" Wisteria muttered as she pointed her finger at the planet. "You don’t need to lie to me Astria. You know that only Alexander can make that planet appear there..."

"Hm? So what if it was Alex who brought hat planet here, Wisteria? What’s the problem with that?"

"What’s the problem with that? Astria, do you really think that with a planet that near, our Four Moons World can be safe? Come on, if their residents try to make an action, a war could definitely happen!" Wisteria shouted as she resisted the urge to smack her head.

"Astria, even if that planet was only here for a month, we already know how powerful their residents were. What do they call themselves again? Ah right, they said that they were Espers, and that their power was to manipulate the physical laws of the universe!" Wisteria added, with her voice sounding a little panicked now. "Astria, with those kinds of power, do you really think that those Espers will not attack us?"

"Wisteria, how could these Espers attack us? I mean, look at them. They are so nice, and they seem to be interested on having a diplomatic relationship with us." Astria replied calmly in face of Wisteria’s panicked words. "Wisteria, I advice that you should not worry about them. For now, they are in need of allies, and we are the ones that they need... So they won’t attack us at all, I promise you that."

"Hmph, are you really sure about that, Astria? Those Espers look fishy to m-"

"Of course I am sure, Wisteria. And besides, the Four Moons World and the Esper World are now both under the jurisdiction of the Cosmic Guards. With the Cosmic Guards watching us from behind, it will be impossible for the Esper World to attack our world!" Astria said much more forcefully, with her tone making it apparent that she will not accept any of Wisteria’s arguments.

"But-"

Before Wisteria could make more complaints, Astria interrupted her again.

"You know what Wisteria? I think you should be sleeping already. You have gained a lot of bruises from your rookie Cosmic Guard training today, so you must sleep to make them heal." Astria said as her voice began to fade away. "I will be sleeping too, so don’t worry about me bothering you. "

"You-"

"Just sleep and prepare for the new day, Wisteria. Tomorrow will be the last day of your rookie Cosmic Guard training, so you must be well-prepared for that, ok?" Astria continued to say, with her voice sounding more like a lullaby now. "Don’t worry about the future, Wisteria. For now, you should do you best to become a Cosmic Guard. Once that happens, you can confront the problems that are haunting you."

"....."

"Wisteria? Yoohoo? Are you still awake?"

"...."

"Ah thank goodness she’s asleep. Now I can really sleep in peace too..."

"...."

"...."

"..."

"..."

And with those final words by Astria, the two women reached the end of their day, with their minds blissfully slumbering in the darkness.

Their worries about Alex and the future of the Four Moons World were now at the back of their heads, peacefully forgotten in their sleep.
