Chapter 301 Hard to tell
In Nessa's previous world, she didn't depend on anyone, she always worked hard for what she wanted since she wanted to create a good life for herself and seeing how how happy everyone within her new home was, she knew that it wasn't all for nothing and was pleased to have gotten another chance at life.
This time, she intended to enjoy to the fullest, she even wanted a family of her, but chuckled at the very thought of it, wondering if she would even be able to find a special someone for herself especially with what she was building.
While she was looking at the kids who greeted her with a cute welcome back, Riki tapped Nessa on her shoulder and she looked at him then he smiled at her.
"Uh... Can I interrogate them my own way? If I don't they will not talk about why they were digging up there in the first place," He said and she sighed before patting the kids on their heads and thanking them once again then they left.
"Do you think they had a bad reason?" Zilrud asked and Nessa glanced at him before lowering her head, thinking about what she should do.
"Riki, do what you want to, use any form of interrogation necessary, but get them to talk or else I will do it my own way, I know how a lot of humans think because I am one as well, a lot of them are good, but some among them, they are worse than demons themselves that's why we have to know what they were doing there, why as well," She responded.
Riki smiled at Nessa then bowed his head as his eyes glowed slight red and she looked at him.
"I and Sai will get you the answers that you want, that I assure you, you don't have to do anything," He said and Nessa smiled at him.
"I am pleased to hear that because I won't go easy on them either, this is my home and I will not have them do as they please," She replied and he nodded then left with Zeitaz and Zilrud as well as the others smiled.
"Lady Nessa," Dalia said and Nessa looked at the bright smile on her face, wondering what she was up to again.
"What is it?" She asked.
"You have become stronger than before haven't you?" Youthim asked and a smile appeared on Nessa's face.
"What makes you think that?" She asked.
"Before you left, there was certain things you wouldn't do a different look in your eyes, now your eyes are different, it's genuine, but now no one can tell what you are thinking from looking at them even though they shimmer and looks like you are really happy, if you are actually thinking something else as well, I am not sure anyone will be able to figure it out easily," Youthim responded.
Nessa left staring at how then she sighed "Is that a bad thing?" She asked.
"No, that's a good thing, you are what a real leader looks like, no one should be able to read you in the first place, that's a good thing, you have gotten a lot stronger," He responded as the others smiled.
"Well, I am glad that it's not a bad thing and yes I have gotten stronger in many more ways than one, I have seen a lot even though I have not been here that long and I have a lot of different things that I need to do now as well," She said and Youthim sighed, feeling a bit relieved.
"I was right, you are a strong leader, these people, they will follow you into any fight, won't they?" Yonja asked and Nessa glanced at him.
"Yes, we will, we will cross hell together, what say lady Nessa?" Dalia asked and Liya chuckled.
"Yeah, we will if we need to, sticking together is all that matters, now you guys are a part of it all," Nessa responded as she looked at Yonja and they smiled at her.
"We would not want it any other way, I am going to enjoy this, let's see what happens in the future, I have a feeling there will be much more to see," Ian said and Nessa scoffed.
"I am so glad I came here, a whole new adventure ahead of us, one that could last a lifetime, this is exactly what I wanted," Cortan added and they all burst out laughing and Nessa patted Cortan on his shoulder.
"You guys are humans to like risks, this is indeed going to be fun, lady Nessa, we are glad you are back, truly," Liya said and Nessa grinned.
"Same here, seems like everyone has changed for the better," She replied and Liya nodded.
"Well guys, I am going to go check on a few things, I will see you guys around," Nessa said and they nodded then she walked away when she saw that the top of a mountain not that far away from the city was glittering and her eyes narrowed as she stared at it.
"Why is it shimmering?" She asked as she jumped up in the air and the others looked at her as she balanced her body.
"Lady Nessa, is something wrong?" Tehitos asked as he approached her and she looked down at him.
"What's by that mountain?" She asked, he looked at it as well as the others and they saw that the top was glittering and something was reflecting in the air.
"We don't know, must b something though but I don't think it's anything to worry about, that happens a lot," Tehitos responded and she smiled and then returned to the ground.
"Well, that's good to know, now I can rest easy, do you guys know what's behind that mountain?" She asked.

"No, we could know if we could go over but that's difficult," Liya responded.
"I see, well, that's understandable, you guys go back to what you were doing," She said with a gentle smile on her face, they nodded when she heard Riki calling out her name and she turned around and saw him approaching her with an angry look in his eyes and upon seeing that Dalia flinched and grabbed onto Nessa's arm, she wondered what was going on with him as did the others.
