Chapter 215. A Date With Cinderielle. After Liu Shu gave the armor to Ignatia, she decided to check on the Sylvans. First, she looked for Cinderielle. Between the three Sylvans, Cinderielle was the one who had spent the most time with her, so she was the one closest to her. Looking around her domain, she found Cinderielle walking down the street with a cold, elegant, and somewhat thoughtful face. Now that she was looking closely, Liu Shu noticed that the traces of youthfulness had disappeared, leaving behind a charming, tall, slender, and elegant Sylvan with sharp facial features. Her orange eyes had a gentle glow, but the shape of her eyes and face could give a sharp and cold feeling as well. Cinderielle suddenly heard Liu Shu's voice communicating with her. "Hello, Cinderielle!" The Fire Sylvan froze for a second, her heartbeat accelerating, and then she smiled, continuing to walk. "Hello, Liu Shu. Do you need anything?" Liu Shu hummed and answered. "Nothing~. I just wanted to speak with you for a bit. Are you busy?" Cinderielle blinked a few times, and remembering Flor's words about not ignoring Liu Shu, she took courage and smiled. "I am not. Wait, let me sit at a table over there and pick some tea." "Okay~." After Cinderielle approached the business, she sat down, and a feline-related waitress approached. Her smile was wide, lighting up her pretty face. "Hello, Miss. What would you like to get?" Cinderielle looked through the menu and commented. "How about one of these honey-dipped cookies and the Ferlun tea? I heard it is quite popular." "Right away, Miss." Cinderielle asked aloud. "Do you want something?" The waitress blinked twice, looking around, confused. "Um... Are you talking to me, Miss?" Cinderielle tilted her head. "Hm?" Then, Liu Shu's voice sounded softly in that area. Her control was very good, so it wasn't too loud. "I don't think I can taste it with my roots..." Cinderielle laughed softly. "Well, we can try. Carry two sets of my order, miss. Thank you." The waitress's eyes were wide open, looking around her. She couldn't help it and asked. "U-Um, who are you speaking with, Miss?" Cinderielle smiled. "I am speaking with a friend. There is no need to be worried about something happening to you or this place." Liu Shu giggled. "Right, right! I do not bite!" The catkin's legs almost gave in when she heard Liu Shu a second time. Liu Shu's voice was obviously not a mystery. Almost everyone in town heard it when Liu Shu revealed herself. While nobody usually remembers a voice they've only listened to once, Liu Shu's voice was unique. First of all, it came from everywhere, covering your hearing sense like a blanket. Second, the etherealness and innate gentleness that it carried could be easily distinguished. It was easy to feel the inhumanity in her voice, making it simple to guess that it came from something extraordinary. In this town, other than really peculiar summons, there was one being that fulfilled those conditions, and the catkin already guessed it. After standing still for a few seconds, she coughed and smiled, much more formal than before. "I will immediately go and get your servings. Please, wait for a moment." Cinderielle looked at the beastkin, who had practically rushed away with a sigh. Then, she asked, "Well, Liu Shu. How have you been doing recently?" "Great~. I have finally started crafting armor again! Did you know that I can mix Woodcrafting and Rune Crafting to create equipment? I've created armor for Flor, Ignatia, Verdantia, Tempestria, and you! Then, I will create around 260 armor pieces for a small armed division." Cinderielle blinked a few times, surprised. She asked. "Did you create one for me as well?" "Yes!" Liu Shu answered enthusiastically. "Also! It is a Level 20, Low-Grade Flawed armor! It is powerful!" After lowering the tray and placing the food on the wooden table, the floor below opened and Liu Shu's roots appeared. The catkin's heart almost jumped out of her throat. 'I-It really is the World Tree! Oh branches above, I am currently witnessing Lady Liu Shu's roots!' She was not a Sylvan, but growing up in a society that had an aesthetic standard for plant life, she was not wholly ignorant or blind to appreciate their beauty and aesthetic. The roots were smooth and beautiful, having a slippery luster and gorgeous blue veins that pulsed with power. Cinderielle saw the catkin looking at the roots with widened eyes and frowned. "Excuse me." Her tone became colder than even she expected. "Can you not look so blatantly?" The catkin felt a chill and snapped out of her daze. "I-I am so sorry! Have a nice time!" Then, she fled. Cinderielle snorted. "That pervert." "Pervert?" Liu Shu's roots twisted, showing confusion. Cinderielle blinked and smiled. "Never mind that. So, I see that you've dipped the root in the liquid. Can you taste anything?" "Hmm... It is... strange?" Cinderielle laughed softly, leaning on her hand and crossing her legs. "How so? Describe the taste." She herself took a sip to get an idea. 'It tastes a bit sweet with a faintly sour aftertaste. It's not bad.' Liu Shu explained. "It feels like water that has a lot of natural minerals! Similar to the ones at the bottom of a lake!" Cinderielle smiled and answered. "I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Hahaha." Liu Shu humphed. "Of course you don't! You don't have roots! I also don't have a mouth!" The table where Cinderielle was sitting had a window by its side that gave a view toward Liu Shu's main body. She looked over and smiled. "You seem to be developing something similar to a head, no? I thought that World Trees didn't develop heads. The ones usually shown in the books have womanly bodies but are headless." Liu Shu looked at herself and hummed. "Well, you are right. I hope the face that appears there is not ugly... It would ruin my beauty!" "Oho. Very humble, aren't we?" Liu Shu asked, confused. "Humble? I am not humble! I like to brag! Bragging is the best! Being humble is... meh. You need to be wishy-washy about things, lying about things you clearly don't think are the truth. If I am strong, I AM strong! Why say otherwise!?" Cinderielle laughed. "Slow down there, girl. You are going to break all the narcissistic records." Liu Shu humphed again. "I am not narcissistic! I am confident in myself! Narcissists are people who overpraise themselves, as bad as those overly humble people! No, worse than them!" Cinderielle smiled peacefully, feeling that this time was very precious. She commented. "So, you dislike humbleness? It is considered a very positive trait in other places and cultures." Liu Shu answered. "Dislike? I don't dislike it. I just don't like to use it myself! I understand that it is a polite gesture that some creatures do because the other people listening are too sensitive to listen at how others are just better than them. However, I feel that sometimes people take it too far... Like imagine Lord Stormrider coming and saying..." Liu Shu lowered her tone, trying to imitate Lord Stormrider but failing extraordinarily. "'Oh, I am just another soldier of my family, not more important than each of my soldiers.'" Cinderielle burst into laughter. "That impression was so bad! Hahaha! I thought that without vocal cords, you would be able to replicate any voice; it seems I was incorrect, hahaha!" Liu Shu exclaimed. "Hey! Don't laugh at me! I tried my best, but no, my voice is not artificial. This is the sound of my soul; of course, I can't change it much." Cinderielle stopped laughing, still carrying a smile on her face. She muttered. "The sound of your soul..." Cinderielle smiled brightly, putting on a gorgeous expression. "With such a pleasant-sounding voice, I bet that your soul is the most beautiful soul in the universe." Liu Shu's core jumped, feeling an electrifying sensation when she saw that smile and heard those words. She stuttered. "U-Um, this was nice. I need to go tell the others about the armor! Have fun!" Cinderielle blinked twice, holding the half-empty cup of tea. Then, she smirked. "Sure, go on."
