[Liana POV]

It took a while but we managed to find a good spot to rest on the underground passage...

"Hgn..."(Liana)

My face was still red from what happened at that time...

Echo stops walking while looking away from my face...

I looked down while still covering my wet cough*...

Skirt with my hands I guess...

"Ugh...."(Liana)

"Um..."(Echo)

It seems Echo was trying to think of how to talk to me right now while I still have tears falling down my face...

"Hey... Echo"(Liana)

"Yes?"(Echo)

Echo look at me as I said his name...

I slowly raised my head looked at him and raised my right hand towards him and pointed at him with my finger...

"Never.... Never talk about this to anyone you hear me!!! be-because i-if you do!........"(Liana)

What am I saying? but that doesn't stop me from being embarrassed here!!! I can only look at Echo with my hand pointing at him with my body trembling, tears falling down my face, and steam was popping out of my head out of embarrassment, my face was bright red from what I have experienced just now!...

Drop!....

My leg started to tremble and I fall to the ground and sat there...

Oh no, I can't take it anymore...

" ....wimp! ....wimp! ..."(Liana)

I start wimping with tears still in my eyes and my ears started flopping down, I looked like a lonely puppy that was abandoned in a street somewhere...

I have a dejected face and I am still trying my best to cover up everything wet below me with my hands...

As I am wimping myself away in shame I look at Echo that was in front of me one of his hands is rubbing the back of his helmet while he is looking at me from being that helmet of his...

I look at him with tears still in my eyes while I try my best to stay strong and not think about it...

Sadly I don't think I can do it right now...

It took a while for me to calm down...
After that, I use my fire magic to dry up my lower clothes...
That was my skirt and underwear...
I of course have to strip down first because I'm using fire magic and I don't want to burn myself by accident...
I kept looking at Echo if he tries to look at me while I was taking off my lower clothes...
He just silently looks away not minding me...
It only took around a minute to fix myself back up again...

I will bury that moment in the back of my mind forever and will stay there forever!...

After what happened, we continued moving through the underground passage leading to the underground train station...
The underground passage isn't very dark from what I can see...
There are different colored crystals on the walls, floor, and ceiling glowing and making the place brighter...
I have never seen this kind of crystal in my life before so it makes me curious of wanting to touch it a little...
Echo saw me looking at the crystal...

"The crystal on the wall is called elemental crystal... When I and my Crew were making this tunnel to the subway station we stumbled to this place that has a lot of this crystal... We also found an abandoned mine I think? Well even with that we can't use the crystals for anything other than a light source... So we use it to light up this place... Inside these crystals have a small amount of elemental power but we don't have the necessary tools to use it..."(Echo)

Echo said that while still moving...
I nodded and follow him but I do wonder...
These crystals have elemental power...
That means it has Mana inside it right?...
I put one of my hands to my chin and started thinking...

"I wonder if I can use that..."(Liana)

I move to a crystal that was near me and touched it...
Then for some reason, a screen popped up in front of me...

[Skill mineral drain can be used]

"Eh?"(Liana)

Wait I can use that skill? wait does this count as mineral?...

"..."(Liana)

"Something wrong?"(Echo)

Echo heard me saying something and looked at me...
I looked at him...

"Well I just noticed that I can use my skill on these crystals, I want to try it out is it okay?"(Liana)

Echo look at the crystal then at me...

"Well... Up to you, I don't mind"(Echo)

Okay! I got permission...
Maybe...
I then try using the skill...
If I remember the skill is kinda the same as corpse drain so I try using it the same way I use it...
I touch the crystal with my hand the crystal is blue so maybe it's the water element?...

"[Mineral drain]"(Liana)

Then the crystal started to glow and then it became particles of light and it was getting absorbed into my hands...
I feel like some kind of energy pouring inside of me...
It kinda feels like I'm getting stronger...

[Skill level up!]

A screen pops up in front of me I was startled but then open my status screen...

My magic increase and my water magic got up...
Wait isn't this very good? Doesn't that mean I just need to use mineral drain on the crystals and my magic level will keep going up?...
My eyes started sparkling thinking about it...
I look at Echo...
He looks at me with his face going back a bit...
He saw what I did and I think he knows what am I thinking...
I look at him with puppy eyes...

"...... Okay, okay, fine!.... Just don't take too long we got to keep moving because we don't have that much time just don't get too far from me while you do what you do..."(Echo)

I nodded and then run around the place using my skill to absorb every crystal I see while following Echo slowly...
After a couple of times absorbing a lot of crystals while walking...
Echo and I arrive in a small open area...
I haven't look at my status yet because I was having fun absorbing the crystals I find everywhere...
I did see some screens popping up several times but I ignored that because I was busy...
I opened my status screen to check for a moment...

Oh wow...
I think I may be broken now...
Almost all of my magic is over level 5...
Well except void, dark, and light...
How did dark and light magic even level up? I don't know maybe because of the crystals I absorb? it's still locked so I can't use it now...
Creation magic didn't level up too...
Well, I don't think there's even any material about creation magic being a thing it is very unexpected if I even find anything related to that magic here...
There's a lot of different colored crystals that I absorbed anyway...
Indicating from the color of red that's fire, brown is earth, green is the wind, blue is water, Yellow is lightning, pale pink seems to be buff or debuff?, purple is void, white is light, and dark is well dark...
The rares I see are, of course, the purple, white and dark crystals...
I don't know if there is anything about a crystal containing creation magic but I didn't see any so I can't say...
I look around the place and didn't see anything that I can absorb any more, this place is quite dark now that I absorbed almost every crystal but still can see a little...
I also limit myself from absorbing every crystal I see so that we can still see when we were going...
Echo doesn't want to keep using his flashlight to light the place and it's also not very good if the place became dark because of me...
Echo look at me and pointed at the front...

"You will be very happy about this... Up over there is where the abandoned mine is at if I remember "(Echo)

I look in front I saw bright different-colored lights there...
Echo said that there is a mine in front ever there...

Does that mean I can get more of this elemental crystal!?...
I smiled happily and dash over there...

"Ah! Hey kid! There's also a-"(Echo)

I didn't hear what echo was saying and just kept rush to the light in front of me and then after I got to where the light was I saw...
That I just somehow jump off a ledge without knowing...

"Eh?"(Liana)

I think it's because of the bright light that I didn't see that this is a mine with a long drop down below at the very start when you enter...
It took a second before my brain started panicking...

"Ahhhh!"(Liana)

"Woah there!"(Echo)

Just in time echo grabbed my jacket from behind and lifted me back up before I fall to the ground below...
I then was put down beside Echo...
I look at Echo and I can see his black aura coming out behind him again...

"Wimp..."(Liana)

After that, I got scolded again by Echo...
Well, I can't help it! I was a curious and excited wolf...
wimp...
