Chapter 61: Guild Building

Time slowly passed. Ars, who previously only predicted that Rin would arrive quickly, had to wait for some time to the point that he had to buy drinks in the system shop to wait for Rin's arrival. Finally after waiting for some time, Rin came with a completely different appearance from before.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ars"

Ars looked at Rin and asked dryly, "Shouldn't you just put down the book you brought before? Why did you change your appearance?"

"Hmph! It is natural for a woman to want to come out looking her best. My previous appearance wasn't very suitable for going out." Rin said in a tsundere tone.

"Who will see you, Rin?" Ars asked calmly, "After all, it's getting late. There are no more construction workers who are still working. Only you and I will go there" Ars paused for a moment and continued, "Say, did you make up because of me?"

"What? Because of you? No kidding! Why should I make up for you? Impossible. That's not possible. I make up because I want to always look my best no less nothing more" Rin said in denial even though her face was red, "What's wrong Ars? Don't you like my current appearance? Then forget about—"

Without waiting for long, Ars immediately grabbed Rin's hand and said, "Forget it. Let's go now. A lot of time was wasted and it was getting late. Arguing will only waste our time."

Ars immediately pulled Rin and walked down. Rin's gaze stared at her hand which was currently held by Ars. Rin doesn't know how to describe how she feels right now because suddenly Ars's hand immediately grabbed her.

However, by the time the two of them arrived on the first floor. Ars immediately let go of the hand and started walking leisurely.

"What's the matter, Ares? Why did you take your hand off mine?" Rin asked in a dissatisfied tone.

"Do you want me to always touch you?" asked Ars casually.

"W-Touching?!" Rin asked haltingly, "You pervert! How could you say such a thing?!"

"Lower your voice, Rin" Ars sighed, "Don't you know the concept of time? It was nighttime and rest time for everyone. If you keep screaming like this. Everyone will wake up and also they will see us out together. That would be quite troublesome."

"Troublesome enough? Do you think that going out with me is quite troublesome?" Rin asked again with a gloomy face, "Maybe you're the only one who said something like this to a pretty girl you went out with"

"Can you not blame me every time Rin?" Ars asked again, "Do you think someone like me is always wrong?"

"Hmph! Of course. Every man is the same" Rin said with a dissatisfied sniff.

"Just the same? This sentence of yours can backfire on you, Rin. If you say so. That means your future husband has the same attitude and personality as me. Or, do you want me to be your future husband?"

"S-husband? Stop kidding! Who would want to make you my husband!" Rin said in a tsundere tone then her face suddenly changed, "If a man wants to be my husband, he must have things that meet the conditions. He must be handsome, brave, hardworking, and must always be by my side."

"Hmmm~ Handsome, brave, hardworking and should always be by your side. Isn't that me?" Ars asked with a small smile.

"You? You are too far from my husband's standards, Ars." Rin said mockingly "I don't want a narcissistic husband after all"

"Narciss? I? When did I become a narcissist?" Ars asked strangely.

"Right now," said Rin.

"It's just your thoughts" Ars said.

The two of them continued their journey by talking. Through these talks slowly the relationship between the two began to improve slightly compared to before until they both arrived at the fellowship building. Ars and Rin immediately entered the building and turned on every light in the room.

"Good. Myrd and his team have cleaned this building" Ars muttered quietly, "Elie, I want to use my points to buy and install every furniture and equipment of this building"

[The cost of purchasing furniture and equipment as well as installation is 2.5 million berries. Are we sure to buy it, Ars?]

"Certain"

Instantly the previously empty building was suddenly filled with various kinds of furniture and equipment. The floor that was previously only filled with tiles was immediately covered with a thick and soft carpet. There are also various other furniture that adds to the beauty of the interior of the building.

"Amazing..." Rin muttered in a surprised tone.

"You're seeing this for the first time, aren't you?" Ars asked with a smile.

"Um..." Rin nodded and continued, "How many times have you done that?"

"Pretty much" said Ars, "Usually I do this when installing furniture and equipment at home"

"Let's see the inside of the building" said Ars.

The two of them started to walk around and look at every area in the building. The largest room in the building is the meeting room which is located in the middle of the building. The room was very wide and only had eight tables and very luxurious chairs.

"Only eight?" Rin asked while raising her brow.

"The target limit for a kingdom establishing cooperative relations with our kingdom is only 7 with our kingdom increasing to 8. There's no need to build cooperative relationships too much. Because it would be quite troublesome to manage many kingdoms that establish cooperative relationships. Besides, the 8 kingdoms working together in terms of building are good enough compared to many kingdoms but each kingdom doesn't have a good relationship."

"I think so" Rin nodded and immediately went to Ars's table and sat there, stretching his legs, "What do you think, Ars? Do I fit in here?"

"You fit in there" Ars nodded, "If you become my future wife , you will become the Queen of this Kingdom. If I can't participate in this meeting. You can represent me

"W-wife? Hmp! You stupid! Who also wants to be your wife?! I just want to try it! Don't get me wrong" Rin said but still sat on the chair proudly.

"Rin, you try using the microphone. Is the microphone working properly or not?" said Ars as he walked towards the other table which currently had the Ryugu Kingdom nameplate .

Rin and Ars then started trying out the microphones that were on each leader's desk. Every microphone works fine. After knowing this, Ars then went to install the projector in the room in a place prepared to cover the meeting that would be held tomorrow.

"Let's go out, Rin. We need to install a projector screen as well as a broadcast projector on the outside."

The two of them immediately left the meeting room. But before leaving the room, both of them turned off all the devices that were there along with various devices in the fellowship building. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the front yard. Ars immediately exchanged a large projection screen and also a large tent which could later be used to watch the meeting for residents and others.

"Can't we higher-ups be able to watch in the meeting room in person?" Rin asked curiously.

"Can't" Ars shook his head, "In the meeting room later. Only Kingdom leaders can enter. Everyone will be barred from entering even their personal aides. You should watch the meeting from the outside."

"What if something happens during the meeting?" Rin asked back.

"Not going to happen" Ars said, "Even if it happened, you guys are still in the same territory as us especially Hashirama. He will definitely be able to move quickly when an incident occurs" Ars paused and continued, "Oh, yes. Rin. Didn't you ask Hashirama to teach you Haki?"

"Haki? Well, I'm quite interested in learning this ability. However, there is still no time to be able to do it," said Rin.

"Hmmm? Then you can ask him to do it tomorrow. Hashirama only had the task of helping Nezuko and Megumi in planting the seeds. He could use his clones to carry out the task. You can ask him to teach Haki abilities, especially Observation Haki abilities. I think you can learn it quickly."

"Of course" Rin said proudly.

"Okay. Our job here is done. Let's go back"

"Return?" Rin muttered with a slightly surprised face.

"Yes. Return. Our job is done here. We have to go back. Let's go back"

Rin nodded and immediately followed Ars back to the royal palace.

"Hey, Ares. How was the chocolate taste given to me earlier? Which chocolate do you think is the best?" Rin asked curiously.

"Whose chocolate? All chocolate is delicious. There's nothing bad about it," said Ars.

"That's an answer I don't want to hear. I want to know between the seven of us. Who's the best chocolate?" Rin asked in a dissatisfied tone.

"Who is the best? All the best. After all, you guys make chocolate to the best of your ability. All the chocolates you make are the best."

"You stupid!" Rin shouted with an annoyed face.

"Stupid?" Ars asked confusedly, "Oh, yes. Rin. Do you want to accompany me after this?"

"Accompany you? Where are you going?" Rin asked with great interest.

"I will go to the 5th floor of the royal palace. The night sky was very clear and full of stars. We can even see the river of stars at this time. Maybe, I want to sleep there as well as today's work is quite tiring. Let's just say I want to relax a bit."

Rin's eyes were full of joy hearing this but she did n't show it, "Ara~ You still want to be with me, Ars? Okay. If you force me. I will grant it. I will accompany you. Don't get me wrong, Ars. I am accompanying you because of my duty as your guardian and not because I want to. After all, you also asked me to accompany you. Not of my own volition." Rin returned to her tsundere nature.

"Yes. Yes Princess. I asked for it. Then let 's go. I want to get there soon." Ars immediately increased his footsteps to quickly arrive at the royal palace.

It didn't take long for the two of them to get there. Before going up to the 5th floor. Ars accompanied Rin to his room to pick up the book he brought earlier for Rin to read at the time above. After getting the book, the two continued their journey to the 5th floor of the royal palace. Arriving there, Ars and Rin immediately went to the balcony of the royal palace which has a large size with relaxing seats there.

Ars immediately sat on one of the chairs there while Rin sat on the seat beside him. The two of them spent the night together there reading. Rin reads his book while Ars also reads his book which he got from the system shop. When the time has entered at 00:45 minutes. Rin had fallen asleep in her chair.

Ars immediately got up and immediately picked up Rin and then took him to his room so he wouldn't catch a cold. After dropping Rin back, Ars immediately went back to his room to rest. Tomorrow Ars has a lot of work and he should have enough rest to finish the work he has tomorrow.
