Chapter 28 Before the Titan Poseidon sailed (Part 1)
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Master, how long are you going to be depressed? Cheer up! You can't go on like this anymore! Let's take a look at the new clothes I bought today?" Aya put on a new sky blue dress walking back and forth in front of Ulysses, trying to get his attention.
"No, please leave me alone, and please go somewhere else to play." Ulysses replied feebly, without even looking at her.
"No, no, I just want to be with my master. My beauty belongs to you alone, and I want to be with you all the time." Aya rejected Ulysses' proposal without hesitation.
"Besides, didn't we already..." Aya's face became redder when she said this, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
‘It's because of this that I don't know how to face you with! Aya!’ Ulysses gave a wry smile.
Today was the third day after the killer was taken out. In these three days, loss, guilt, and anxiety enveloped Ulysses' heart. For the first time, he who had always stuck to the rigid life routine neither did basic martial arts practice nor studied the holy scriptures, but kept praying to the Supreme God at home, hoping that he could forgive his sins. But doing so did not seem to reduce the guilt in his heart. In fact, the more he prayed, the more he felt that he was guilty.
‘Oh god! What should I do!’ Ulysses's heart had never been as lost as it was now. The incident that happened three days ago made him completely lose his direction in life. No longer having a pure body, he could no longer follow the path of life he had planned long ago. Even if he had passed the priest examination and became a priest, it was impossible for him to become a respected priest. Just like a piece of white paper with black letters on it, he would never be able to become pure again.
"Master, master, please take a good look at me! I took a long time to choose this dress and this hair accessory, and you will love it!" Aya didn't plan to let Ulysses go. She directly moved his face up, forcing him to look at her new clothes.
"Yes, yes. It's really beautiful and suitable for you." In desperation, Ulysses had no choice but to compliment her casually.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! My master praised me! This is the first time my master praised me! Aya is so happy!" Aya was so excited that she floated into the air and danced.
In all fairness, the clothes and hair accessories that Aya bought were really good, and what Ulysses said was true. The new dress Aya bought was a sky blue dress covered with clean white lace, matched with her purple eyes and long flowing purple hair, making her look like a little fairy. The purple butterfly hair ornament on the head was also great. If people didn't look closely, they would definitely regard it as a real purple butterfly.
Originally, Ulysses resolutely refused to allow Aya to appear in front of others, let alone let her go out to buy some clothes and accessories. But after seeing Rasputin's outfit, Aya found a way to hide in plain sight. Without telling Ulysses, she bought herself a suit of clothes that was the same as Rasputin’s clothes. Then she just put on a black cloak and veil while Ulysses didn't pay attention and slipped out to go shopping. Although Ulysses was a little dissatisfied with her behavior, because she did not show her true face in front of others, Ulysses had no reasonable reason to stop her, so he had to treat it as if he hadn't seen it.
As for the gold coins that Aya used to buy those extremely expensive high-end clothes, they came from the bounty of the killer who had been taken out. On the second day after the killer was taken out, Aya put on the black cloak she secretly bought and went to the mercenary guild. After she showed the sword and mask left by the killer, the mercenary guild gave her a reward of two hundred thousand gold coins.
For this matter, Ulysses also severely reprimanded Aya once, asking her to return half of the bounty to the guild and specifying that it would be given to the three major mercenary groups. In Ulysses's view, the three major mercenary groups that suffered heavy losses were the ones who needed the money most. He originally planned to give them all the rewards, but Aya's words dispelled his thoughts.
"The masked man was obviously eliminated by us, why should those guys take the bounty!" This was what Aya said.
Indeed, the three mercenary groups didn’t even know that it was he who took out the killer. If he gave them all the reward, they might think it was an insult to them. Thinking of this, Ulysses finally decided to give them only half. The remaining half was taken by Aya to buy various clothes and accessories. In these short three days, she had spent more than three thousand gold coins and bought back a lot of girl-specific clothes and accessories.
‘Aya is right, I should not carry on like this. It won’t change anything. Maybe I should go to the beach to have some fresh air!’ Looking at Aya flying in the air, Ulysses felt better somehow. For the first time in three days, he planned to go for a walk.
"Aya, I'm going to the beach! Just wait for me in the house!" Since Aya had that cloak and veil, she refused to turn into a bracelet anymore. Ulysses felt very helpless.
"No, I don't want to wait alone in the house! I want to be with the master." As expected, Aya refused.
"But, if you want to go out with me, you won't be able to try on your new clothes! These are the new clothes you bought today! Don't you try them on?" Ulysses was making his last effort to change Aya’s mind. He was not used to being with others when taking a walk.
"Master, I bought those clothes for you. If you don’t look at them, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, it is meaningless. Although the new clothes are important, the time spent with the master is a hundred times more important than the new clothes." Aya didn't hesitate in answering. After speaking, she began to take off the beautiful sky blue dress on her body, ready to put on the unsightly black cloak and veil.
"Then, then you have to promise me at least two things. The first thing is not to leave me within three meters, and the second is not to speak before I speak, okay? That way I will take you out." Seeing Aya start to change clothes, Ulysses quickly turned around and made his own terms with his back to her.
"Yes, Master!" Aya answered Ulysses in a very cheerful voice.
