Alex was dumbstruck.


    "Lumiere...?" Alex looked around to find where the voice came from.


    It was sudden, but she was one hundred percent sure that the voice she heard came from Lumiere.


    "Big sister, are you talking with your guardian spirit?"


    "Guardian spirit? Are you talking about the guide A.I.?" Alex asked while still looking around, as she still can''t see Lumiere''s blob of light.


    "A.I.? I don''t know it. But mommy told me a few days ago that strange people will be arriving in our world this day. Mommy told me that people called guardians are going to appear in the za one after the other. And then, and then, mom also said that guardians are the ones that can protect us from destruction. Then along with the guardian, is the guardian spirit that guides them. Guardian spirits are invisible to everyone except the guardians they have chosen." The little girl talked eagerly with the pretty sister in front of her. She finds the sweet sister in front of her very approachable. Unlike the other guardians that she sees on the road, that is really awful with the people in the vige. Those people are looking at her friends as if they are not humans at all.


    Alex thinks that the little girl is a little bit talkative for her age. It must be the reason why her mother is letting her watch the shop.


    While the little girl is talking about spirit guardians, Alex tried calling out Lumiere''s name in between her talks a couple of times.


    "Lumiere, I want to ept the call!" No matter how much she called, she was not getting any response at all.


    "Big sister, is there a problem with your guardian spirit?" The little girl asked Alex.


    "I don''t have my guardian spirit with me right now, but I am sure I heard its voice just a moment..."


    "Hello, Alexandria, God Healer #2882 is calling. Do you want to ept?"


    Before Alex can''t continue what she''s saying, she suddenly heard Lumiere''s voice again. But this time it was clearer and came behind her.


    Alex then turned around to look.


    Alex was expecting to see Lumiere''s blob of light when she turned around. Yet what met her eyes was a flickering light in a fairy-like figure.


    "God Healer #2882 is calling. Do you want to ept?" Lumiere repeated its question.


    "Uhmm, Lumiere, your form?" Alex did not answer its question and just continued to stare at Lumiere.


    "My form was suddenly upgraded by the system when I was trying to report. That is why it took me some time to return." Lumiere exined.


    "I am sorry for beingte..."


    "It''s ok as long as you''re here. I learned that it is quite troublesome without a guide. But why are you flickering non-stop?"


    "My current form is somewhat rushed by the system as the yer''s first event ising. The system won''t let a yer not have a guide on their first event."


    "Looks like your friend won''t stop calling you. Do you want to answer?" Lumiere reminded Alex the third time.


    "Yes, answer the call." Alex haspletely forgotten about Ezekiel.


    Shortly after, Ezekiel''s loud voice rang through her ears. "Hey! Why are you taking your time in answering!?"


    "It is my A.I. it just got back."


    "Ow.... Ok fine, Anyway, where are you right now?"


    "In the marketce, why?"


    "I am done getting my skills. Come to the za. There are some goodmotions around here that you will like." Ezekiel exined while looking at the ruckus in front of him.


    "I''ll be there in a minute." If it is Ezekiel saying that she will like it, she knows that she will like it if she sees it. After all, Ezekiel is one of the people that knows her best.


    Alex ended the call. She then turned to the little girl to say that she is leaving.


    Listening to the pretty sister''s conversation. The little girl can tell that the pretty sister is going to her friend. "Are you leaving, big sister?" The little girl said softly as she looked down on the ground.


    Seeing the disappointment in the little girl''s eyes, Alex can''t help but feel bad about herself by choosing amotion she hasn''t seen yet instead of the cute bun in front of her. "I am sorry... but I need to go. I wille back and bring my friend hereter. And we will buy any potion we can afford that you rmend to us, okay?" Alex patted the little girl''s head as sheforted her.


    "Promise?" The little girl stared at Alex with her dazzling eyes as she raised her pinky finger for a pinky promise.


    Who can even resist any request when being stared at by those two beautiful eyes of the little girl. "Promise..." Alex then grabbed the little girl''s pinky finger and made a pinky promise.


    "I need to go now, byeeee." Alex then pinched the little girl''s cheek lightly, then ran towards the za.


    "Come back again, pretty sister!!" The little girl shouted as she waved her hands at the rushing girl.


    In the end, Alex wasn''t able to hold her urge to pinch the little girl''s rosy cheeks.


    ...


    It took Alex less than a minute to reach the za, since she ran on the way and the marketce and za are close to each other.


    Ezekiel was right the za is so boisterous when most of the yers in the vige are gathering in the za.


    "Lumiere."


    "Yes?"


    "Please call Ezekiel for me."


    "Who is Ezekiel?" Lumiere asked confusedly.


    When Lumiere asked who''s Ezekiel, Alex almost lost it. "Please call God Healer #2882."


    "As you wish." A ringing sound then echoed through her ears.


    "By the way, Lumiere, can I change my contact list''s nicknames?" Looking at her Ezekiel and her father''s usernames, Alex can''t help but be embarrassed for both of them.


    "Yes... who do you want to change?"


    "Please change God Healer #2882 to Ezekiel and Retired God of General #1315 to Father." Alex also looked at Samantha''s username, and she felt relieved, knowing that she is using her name.


    ...


    In the middle of themotion in the za, Ezekiel''s guardian spirit spoke.


    [Hero yer #2883 is calling]


    [Do you want to answer]
