Above all else, he just wanted to slack off. Who knew that the goddess was watching his every move?
Now the message has made it clear to him that he can’t put off his breakthrough anymore and strive for the next tier as soon as possible.
.....
Before he wanted to stall his adventure for another month but now he can’t even think of delaying just one more extra day.
“Okay, Aashi now that it’s confirmed, then I have to go the next day without any more delay in the journey. Willow, you can accompany Aashi as much as you want. Also keep monitoring for any other abnormalities, as for me make sure to have enough energy to send me to that world, alright? I am going to rest, for now!” Erick informs Aashi that as the decision has been made, he looks at Willow and has her free reign to accompany Aashi as she might get bored alone.
Erick took his leave to rest as he needed to be in top shape for tomorrow’s journey.
“Well, Master is gone so do you want to play with me as I still have a little bit of time before I head to my office!” Aashi looked at the back of her master who went to rest, leaving her with the Willow. Seeing Willow brooding, she thought she should entertain her little friend before she got busy with her work.
“Play...play, yeah!” Willow flutters around Aashi’s head, muttering with happiness.
Aashi and Willow went to the hill beside the house to have fun in nature for a while.
After amusing Willow and relaxing her body a little, Aashi took her to leave and went to the office to do her work.
.....
Next day,
“Master, did you pack everything? Make sure to not forget something you would need later on!” Aashi nagged Erick nth time with worry.
“Okay...okay! Aashi, everything’s fine. I have packed what I need in my spatial ring, so don’t worry and take care of Father and Mother!” Erick showed him the ring finger of his left hand where he wore a spatial ring in which the space is the size of 100*100 cubic meters.
After the system connection with Aashi was severed as it was just temporarily given to him by the Goddess to help in his early days, he also lost the inventory function of the system.
Fortunately, Aashi has access to his technique so she can make a spatial ring without problem as long as the materials are enough.
In the future, he will have his own dimension after he achieved a certain tier in strength but for now, he needed something like this spatial ring for convenience’s sake to carry his stuff around.
“Okay, I will take care of them!” Aashi said with a small smile as she started to grow a bond with Erick’s parents like her own parents.
Erick’s parents have never taken her as an outsider and treated her like their own daughter. As Erick grew up and matured very fast, his parents didn’t get to enjoy parenting well so Aashi’s adorable behaviour sometimes led them to spoil her a lot.
“Ohh, Willow! Don’t worry, I will find you a proper means to materialise your body so you can enjoy the physical touch!” Erick looked at formless Willow and smiled at her adorable formless size.
Willow, hearing his words fluttered around his head and caressed his head with her airy hands to show how much she appreciates his gesture towards her.
“Master!” Aashi hugged Erick with emotion and started sniffing his manly smell like a pervert but Erick let her be as he knew she was just trying to hide her sadness with her antiques.
“Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter how many years I would spend in that world but here, only a month would pass. So we only have to separate for a month, okay!” Erick tried to explain so she wouldn’t be unnecessarily worried as with the time flow being different in each world, he would only be away from here for just a month.
Actually, it is only possible with Willow’s help and his own, he would lose a little energy for that but at least he won’t have to make unnecessary excuses for the long absences.
One month of school cram preparation excuse can somehow make his parents and others believe in it but longer than that, would cause trouble.
“Anyways, take care of everything. Willow! Come I am ready so you start the transfer!” Erick freed from the Aashi bear hug which he honestly enjoyed a little, those comfy and soft marshmallows made him want to hug her more but he doesn’t want to get distracted from his objective at the moment.
Erick called out to Willow to start the dimension transfer, as Willow is already familiar with the coordinate so she can initiate the transfer using those coordinates and her own authority of the Will of a world of the higher realm than the Plum Blossom World.
The process is being done on the hill beside the Erick house, which has been isolated by the Aashi so as not to cause a commotion.
Willow’s formless body glows like a blazing light from the sun but is not hot at all. Then spatial turbulence formed on Erick as a centre and then wrapped around him which also put pressure on his body if not for his strong endurance and resilience of his body, he would have long been shredded to pieces by spatial turbulence.
Next second with the zap sound Erick disappeared and the environment became silent like nothing happened in this place, if not for the mess around them like trees and grass uprooted from the hill. If Aashi hadn’t felt the spatial fluctuation present in the area and seen Erick disappearing in front of her eyes then she would have thought that she was hallucinating.
“Willow, can you take care of this mess? You know I don’t want others to know what happened here and want any unnecessary attention!” Aashi looking at the mess asked Willow to take care of this, thinking about the repercussions if someone sees this mess, she would have a headache thinking about excuses to come.
“Okay, big Sis! I will take care of this in a jiffy!” Willow replied cutely which made Aashi sigh with relief.
