The Legends Of Creator Hero
Observing Stars

As soon as the meeting dissolved, Rigel parted ways with another Hero. Tirith was currently walking with Rigel who was aimless for sure. Silence occurred, but for Tirith it was a happy time, along with the one he loved.

"It looks like you're going to get busy, yeah," Tirith said sadly and a little lonely.

The time he had with Rigel wasn't much. He always has things to do and hardly a lot of rest time he has. Every now and then, Tirith really wanted a time that belonged to just the two of them. But he doesn't want to be selfish. Because Rigel was a Hero, he could not abandon his obligations.

Then, there was the thing that made Tirith a little worried, about the talk of the men in the bathhouse. The conversation is about returning to his old world and Tirith is afraid Rigel will choose to return instead of living in this world.

"Yes, I don't want to do it, if I want a peaceful life."

It wants a peaceful life, but there will always be something to work on and problems that always come along once other problems are resolved. Even if he managed to subdue the White Tiger, there were still Dragon Catastrophes left to take care of. He doesn't know when Ragnarok happened, but really hopes it is the final culmination of the problem.

Afterwards, he wanted to enjoy his remaining life with everyone. Indeed, what happened to the quarrels of the gods after the war made him curious, but whatever it was, he hoped not to get the sap.

"So, yes," Tirith murmured a little sorrowfully, "I pray for your safety" he continued.

Although he did not believe that prayer could save his life, he still appreciated it because maybe a miracle actually happened by praying. Whether it was to a god, or a higher figure than a god.

Rigel realizes that Tirith seems to be agitated about something and wants to talk about something that is either important or not. But he refrained from saying it. Even if he gave Tirith a chance to say it, he was not sure Tirith would say it straight away.

"Right, I've never shown you that, huh..."

"What do you mean??" Tirith asked in confusion.

Although he had made it for a long time, Rigel almost never remembered the place. Although the timing was urgent, at least he might be able to show it to Tirith at this moment.

"Yes, come with me."

Rigel grabbed Tirith into his arms without warning and went to a place he had long made in the city but had never used anyone. There is also the possibility of the place being destroyed during the demon invasion, but let's take a look first.

In an instant they disappeared and the scene in front of them changed instantly. Rigel looked at his destination, the Observatory.

It was unexpected that the place still looked good and intact, without the slightest sign of destruction and scratches. A place where he can observe stars farther than the naked eye.

A round spot with a round dome on its ceiling. Tirith knew the place, but never knew its usefulness. After all, according to Merial, no one but Rigel had ever entered it.

To them, everything Rigel created was very foreign and they were afraid that they could create a big mess by misusing things. Naturally, because they were so afraid of unconsciously firing missiles and nukes.

Well, such worries should never have happened, as only Rigel and Leo had access to activate them.

"What is this place??"

"You'll know after you see it. Though I intend to make it as a space attraction, but somehow all seem afraid to enter it, even Asoka."

Tirith just laughed wryly at Rigel's words. Without wasting any time, they entered the place. The door opened automatically which left Tirith confused as to what kind of magic was moving her.

Once inside, the place seemed empty. There was only a large enough telescope in the middle of the room and a bench.

Rigel walked up to the telescope and sat down on the bench. Tirith just stared in bewilderment until Rigel gave a sign for Tirith to sit on her lap. Awkwardly and slightly embarrassed, Tirith obeyed Rigel and curiously stared at the object in front of her.

"What are we gonna do here, Rigel??"

"Please wait a little while and you'll know...,"

Ignoring Tirith's curiosity, Rigel accesses Ciel to perform some specific settings.

This is the direction in which the telescope is observing. It would be dangerous to watch the sun because it can cause blindness. Therefore, using the sun's coordinates being, he was able to avoid it.

The notice from Ciel had arrived and Rigel tried it just in case and the angle was correct.

"You try to look through that thing. Take it easy, it won't bite" Rigel directed Tirith to do the same as he did.

Tirith hesitantly followed Rigel's instructions and looked through the thing. There, he saw a black sky illuminated by a faint light and several comets passing by.

No words came out of his mouth, but tears answered all his admiration. His vision was a little blurred by the tears that kept falling, even without orders from him.

The cry was not a sorrow, but rather an admiration for a world that was so vast and made man equal to a seven divided dust.

Even though it was the first time for him to see it, he knew right away that it was the stars and outer space Rigel had told him about. They are far more fascinating than imagination. At a glance, they looked like glowing dust that adorned the super-large black cloth.

"So this, the space you've been telling me about, it's really captivating" he said, staring at the glass of the star telescope.

"Yes, and this place is called the Observatory. A place where people can observe and learn everything about stars."

The reason Rigel showed it was simple, he still remembered his promise to Tirith to show the stars. In any case, Rigel would never renege on his own promise. Even though he should have done it, there was no harm in doing it again.

They are so charming and so mysterious. Everything related to stars and space is something that is deep within the grasp of human understanding. Perhaps even today, they are still learning it to satisfy their curiosity.

"Talking about stars, I remember what scientists say, when we look at starlight, it's a light from the past."

Hearing her words only made her even more confused and did not understand them. It was natural for him because there was no such research and the world was arguably still ancient. They live by magic and use it to make life easier. Unlike the earth, where there is no magic so they slowly build civilization and use intelligence to facilitate life.

The process is so long, so long and time consuming. It took them two million years to live with cutting-edge technology.

"Light from the past??"

"Yes, that light came from exploding stars, but it still took millions of years to reach this world."

This proves that the distances between the planets are far from each other.

"The world is full of mysteries, yes" Tirith murmured.

"Regarding that, Rigel..," Tirith called out his name and his body trembled slightly. Obviously he looks scared of something— rather lost something.

"What's wrong??"

Tirith turned and buried her face completely in Rigel's chest.

"After it's over, will you come back? To the world you were supposed to be in??"

That was an unexpected question from Tirith. Rigel now understood what Tirith seemed worried about. It was about Rigel returning to earth or not.

He himself did not know whether there really was a way back to earth or not. Depending on the circumstances, he may choose to return to earth, but the choice itself is still uncertain. If he returns, he may be able to see his mother, but there is a great fear that he is not recognized by the child. Then, his heart would break and there was nothing else he needed other than death.

Moreover, his current self was completely different from his former one. He who originally had black hair, however had now turned white and there was no longer any trace of softness from the look in his eyes.

"Are you going? You're gonna leave me alone??"

Rigel did not answer, so Tirith asked another question. He really did not want to be left in solitude. He hates being alone, he hates being lonely and he hates being left out.

"..., I honestly don't know. In some places, I wanted to go back and see my mother, but I was afraid she didn't want to acknowledge me as her child."

She knew her mother loved her, from the memory Azartooth had shown her. But still he still felt the fear of not being recognized.

"So you're coming back??"

Tirith asked again to confirm it. Right now, there was nothing else he wanted to know other than the answer to his question.

His eyes were glazed over and looked funny to him. Rigel grabbed his chin and pressed his lips against Tirith's softly. Tirith was certainly surprised by Rigel's sudden action.

"I won't go anywhere, even if I go, I'll promise to come back."

There would be nothing that could stop him, other than a much higher figure and his lifespan that had been recorded in the book of death.

In addition, there is no guarantee that there is a way to return. Among the Heroes, there might be some who miss their home on earth. But, most Heroes seem to have a sad past.

"Are you so scared that I'm leaving you??" Rigel tries to tease Tirith, but her reaction is unexpected.

"Yeah! Sure thing!! Are you that stupid to the point of not understanding it?!!" Tirith hugged Rigel tightly and the dam of her tears shattered, causing her eyes to flood.

His intention to flirt was shattered instantly upon seeing the unexpected reaction. Rigel just sighed tiredly and kissed Tirith back. Somehow, he seems addicted to it. Not only was her lips soft, they felt a little sweet and she did not hate the warm sensation she received.

Tirith began to frown while wiping her tears with her hands.

"Why do you always kiss me? You should wipe my tears at a time like this, hmpf!"

Rigel just smiled and rubbed a bit of Tirith's eyes with some pleasure.

"Don't you like me doing it??"

Of course all he wanted was to tease and tease her. Sooner or later, we can be sure it will be a new hobby that Rigel has.

As long as he was with Tirith, he seemed to forget this duty, burden and world. On the other hand, there was a feeling of loneliness in which Priscilla was absent. His feelings for Priscilla are also still ambiguous, between loving her as a woman like Tirith or just a friend and friend of the struggle. If you have to choose, it is most likely the latter.

"It's not that I don't like it," Tirith replied with a slight problem.

"Then you want to go to the room??"

Tirith harrumphed as soon as Rigel whispered those words to her. Obviously, Rigel was just teasing her and had no intention of doing so as there were many problems in sight.

"Heh, since when are you so lustful, Tirith? I'm not going to do it, for now. Let's go back, I need to prepare some arrangements to defeat the White Tiger."

Ignoring Tirith who was angry from being constantly teased, Rigel took her out of the Observatory to do her job.

Starting from setting a good empty spot for him to keep a weapon there and position Garfiel as bait, until finally the final card where Ozaru will rampage and defeat the White Tiger.

Surely the last card is unreliable, because if one estimates, Rigel will have to face Ozaru and the White Tiger together if they don't battle each other.

If I can, I hope there are clouds blocking the full moon so there is no need to worry that Ozaru will change while fighting, said Rigel.

"Wait.., right too. Why did I not think of it before..," Rigel muttered.

If there are clouds blocking the moon and its rays, it is not impossible for Ozaru to fight without having to change his form. Ozaru's strength is indispensable and his absence will be a great loss.

Hazama himself is still recovering, while the successor to the Hero of the Sword has not yet been done, as Leo is still not ready to receive the title. Likely, if he were to participate in the White Tiger subjugation, perhaps he would gain experience, but it was on par with the risk as well.

To that end, Rigel would consider it later, as well as make some other arrangements such as the placement of Heroes and others.

"What's Rigel??" Tirith looked at him confusedly.

"No.., I just thought of something that might be useful in the fight against the White Tiger later," he evasively informed and resumed his journey.

The plan was to create thick clouds to cover the moon, such as rain or something like that. If you are lucky, it will rain miraculously. But if not, then he must harness the power of Poseidon's water.

First, let's find a suitable place to execute and think about the plan. Regarding the speed, there is no direct prevention. Installing a trap would be useless because with his speed he could pass through it without much effort.

Shit, at least a three-day deadline should be grateful for.

Rigel exited the Observatory along with Tirith and returned to the palace to rest while he could.
