Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

After having revealed my daughter the truth about everything, and her surprisingly mature response and acceptance to the situation, we moved on and quickly meet with Rose, the new Dhampir friend I made in the incident that happened in my hometown.

She's a powerful ex-member of the Vatican in Europe, who was raised by the church to battle against Vampires, Werewolves, and other monsters. However, at some point she just left everything and moved to the continent of America, where she ended joining SWORD in Canada.

And since the incident in my hometown, it seems she has been taking a break, wandering around aimlessly for the most part. I mean, for how dangerous is her job, I can tell she needs a lot of time to unwind and take a good break, so it makes sense to me.

"You what?! You guys hunted over a hundred Hollows… yesterday?!" Rose asked with shock. "Ah, is this why I haven't seen any around the city at all? You've made the place surprisingly safe."

"P-Please, don't speak so out loud about this…" Lily sighed a bit.

"Ah, don't worry about it, I've set up a small silencing barrier using some simple magic." Rose said. "So- Ah! Who are you? I don't remember you at all!"

"A-Ah… I-I…" Lily got overwhelmed by Rose rather quickly.

"She's Lily, our friend." I said, hugging Lily's shoulders. "She also has developed an ability, and has magic slightly similar to our level, and lot of strength."

"Huh…" Rose analyzed Lily with her eyes, immediately nodding. "I can tell that… So this is the friend you wanted to introduce to me… Now with the whole Hunter stuff, have you decided joining something yet?"

She still ended talking about this topic, huh? Well, I guess it was inevitable.

"Not for now, we honestly wouldn't like to become public figures, nor be ordered around by the government anyways." I sighed.

"Well, Hunters have much more freedom, but yeah, they're forced to register in the government as people with powers. Even now there's still many people out there hiding their strength and abilities, there isn't any law as of now, but seeing how there's such a huge amount of people developing abilities… governments might begin putting up special laws to deal with them." Rose said. "Though, not like we should care about that anyways~"

She said something rather concerning but was extremely unconcerned!

"Hahah, it is nothing too bad, don't give me that face." Rose laughed, drinking her coffee.

"Hmm, well, it'll depend how things continue to advance further…" Sighed Mark. "For now we should just lay low. We can't really work for anybody for now, we want to just protect the city if the situation arises."

"I completely understand! But if you want to hide you identities, I'm guessing you'll get some sort of… cover?" Rose wondered. "As my annoying boss said before, becoming agents of SWORD will help you keep your identities a secret, and you don't even need to do all the missions either, we're more like mercenaries that do jobs after being paid first… Though that bastard tends to delay the pay a lot sometimes…"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"I see… It is quite intriguing…" I nodded.

If it was really like that, maybe joining didn't sounded so bad. But even then, I don't really am feeling like doing any other job that is not related with protecting my city from the enemies coming from Arcadia that seem to be specifically aiming at me…

"But for now, let's leave that conversation for later." I sighed. "I am not really feeling like talking about these new opportunities, mostly because I am still rather used to my life as a civilian…"

"I get it." Rose giggled. "You guys are very different than me and my team, we've been in the job for years, I've been in the job for hundreds of years, in fact. Honestly, I envy your life style, so keep it."

She was as straightforward as I remember.

"Has there been any other monster sighting lately?" Mark asked.

"Yeah, like something we could whack around?" Rita wondered, slightly bored over the conversation.

"Lately, not really. But give it a few days and something might pop up." Rose sighed. "My two companions are wandering around the city, as they have been given the task of protecting it as well. Several secret paranormal agencies had sent their agents to protect cities for the moment, until the government can properly gather enough manpower on Hunters to be relatively self-sufficient, this might take several months, or over a year. Oh, your hometown's surrounding forests have been recently catalogued as Danger Zones, which will be the new title given to natural areas with monsters that emerge from mutated animals."

"Oh, I see…" I felt slightly worried.

"But don't worry, that town's more secure than it could ever be." Rose gave me a thumbs up. "Several SWORD agents are watching over it, and the military too~ Danger Zones might sound… well, dangerous, but they're treasure troves for magical materials, so the military and the agents are joining together to hunt the monsters and lower the danger levels, while profiting off it in the meantime."

"Ahh, well, that's pretty good." Mark said with an optimistic smile. "Now with the whole change since the First Contact, I bet there's tons of magical items and materials popping up everywhere."

"More than you could ever imagine." Rose facepalmed. "So many new materials, so many new qualifications, items, energies, and powers we've never seen before as well, many magic researchers and alchemists are having a field day investigating everything and trying to give names and tags to everything. In fact every single new monster is registered by several experts, a new monster compendium is beginning to be written. Which will later be published world-wide to guide civilians and hunters alike."

"Wow… This is surprisingly cool." Lily said in surprise, sipping some tea. "Seems like our world is constantly changing, yet the amazing minds of humanity are not giving up, and employing everything they can to aid our survival…"

"That was surprisingly deep coming from you…" Rita said.
