Death Guns In Another World

Evening came, Alex and Leena decided to eat something before ending their date.

Currently, they were sitting around the fountain where Leena waited for Alex to come.

''That was a wonderful date even if it was not a real date. Still, I had a lot of fun.'' Leena said while eating a kebab brought by Alex.

Alex was also doing the same thing, ''This town is truly big. You won't know it if you don't tour it.''

''Well, the capital is even bigger and beautiful than this,'' Leena said while looking in the direction of the capital.

''I'm eager to visit it then.'' Alex in anticipation.

''Just say you're more eager to see the girls instead.'' Leena teased him.

''Well, I won't deny it.''

Alex's answer left Leena a little bit surprised and before she could ask why he was being so frank Alex switched the subject.

''I'm curious.''

''About what?"

''Can you tell me the metal used to make my weapons?'' Alex asked because he was curious.

''I was expecting this question. Well, I do not mind telling you. Your weapons have been from two metals: Adamantine and Darksteel.'' Leena's revelation left Alex surprised, once again he thought this was indeed a fantasy world.

''Both are considered near-indestructible metal.''

''You are right. How do you know? No, let me guess you have these metals in your world as well. For a manaless world to have these metals your world must have quite a story.'' Leena said.

''She has her fair share of stories but we do not have these metals in our world. We just knew they exist but have never found one. Not to my knowledge.'' Alex explained while inwardly thinking 'I ain't gonna say I know these metals from fantasy books. Well, fantasy worlds do exists, so do these metals. My common sense is falling apart here.'

''I see. These metals are extremely hard to find. The one I gave Smith was from a dungeon, a pretty high level one. They have been found in the deepest part of the dungeon. Some speculate that they are the concentration of millennium of Mana gathered to form these metals. It's why they are too rare and too hard to find. Only present in some of the oldest and most dangerous dungeons. Do not try to search for it, you are too weak. Any attempt before being at least Rank 11 is suicidal. I do hope you are not suicidal.'' Leena explained before giving a serious warning.

''Don't worry I'm not. I just asked because of curiosity and also because I've got the feeling that I'll never change these weapons because they are too precious. My weapons can be considered indestructible can't they?'' Alex asked jokingly.

''Well, they are technically indestructible but nothing is indestructible because in this universe there is always someone stronger than you. The same goes for metals and other things, these metals may be considered strongest here but in the higher worlds, this would not necessarily be the case. I bet there is will another metal stronger than these metals. It's my opinion, though.'' Leena offered her opinion.

''I think like that too, they may a metal stronger than the two in a higher world. Well, if higher worlds do exist.'' Alex said trying to gain a bit of information from her.

''They do exist.'' It was all she said not saying anything else.

After that, the two ate in silence until they finished. It was not because they ran out of subject but because at that moment, it was what should have been done to appreciate the moment. The sun was about to set, people were returning from their works, some stopped to buy something to eat or something to bring home. Few children were helping their parents in their store and near the two were a lot of couples eating, watching the sun going back home while swearing eternal love to each other.

''Just watch them swore eternal love to each other fully aware that one day their roads will part, either because of death or because there is no love anymore,'' Leena said after observing the couples swearing eternal love to each other.

''You seem skeptical when it comes to eternal love. Or perhaps you don't believe it?" Alex probed.

Leena did not immediately reply she stood first and went to buy two cold orange juice for them to drink. After coming back she passed one mug to Alex and drink her orange juice as she stared into the distance,

''You know Alex even Gods are not eternal. They may leave for a million of year but there are not eternal. Not even worlds are eternal, they'll disappear one day. So tell me how can love be eternal?"

''You are right about worlds and Gods but for my part, I do believe love is eternal,'' Alex said with a light smile.

''Do elaborate,'' Leena said curiously about Alex's hypothesis.

Alex downed his mug before continuing,

''Do you see the couple over there?" He said pointing his finger at one particular couple located on his right. This couple was a little different, the woman was pregnant and the husband was lovingly taking care of her.

''I do. So what?"

''Even you can see that they truly love each other.'' He said pointing at them.

''I do, but where the eternal love you are speaking about? They may love each other till death part them but after dying their love will cease to exist.'' Leena said.

''That's not entirely the case. I've chosen this couple for a particular reason.'' Alex said still pointing his finger at the couple, at the woman in particular.

''Which is? Wait it's because she's pregnant. Then so what?'' Leena finally understood why Alex had chosen this couple in particular but this still doesn't answer her question.

''You see the reason why I said their love is eternal is because of that. That pregnancy is the fruit of their love. Even if they were to die, the proof of their love will continue to exist and in turn, will father its own carrying on a tiny bit of this couple's love for generations to come for eternity. What I said is arguable I know but it's my opinion, it's what I believe.'' Alex explained.

''What you said is not wrong but it's not quite right either. Still, there is truth in it. I have never thought about it in that way. How amusing. Well, it's time to end our date. It's getting late already.'' Leena before standing up.

''You are right. Let's leave.'' Alex said and stood up and followed Leena.

After paying the orange juice' vendor the two left. They walked until it was time for them to part.

''Thank you for the date. Let's have some real date someday.'' Leena said with a smile.

Alex was surprised still he answered, ''We will.''

''That's good then. And you don't have to be surprised, I may not have a feeling for you but I'm a woman. I know when a man is interested in me, you may hide it but I've noticed it. It may be unconsciously but you do. So, I give you a chance, try harder, Boy.'' Leaving these words behind Leena entered the Guild.

Alex watched the retreating Leena's figure and smiled before turning around and left, direction his Inn.

On the other side, Leena observed the adventurers drinking and chatting inside the hall and said, ''Well if you don't get scared away by my true self. Either way, it will be fun, fufufu.''

For a second she seemed different, she disappeared shortly after. Since the start, nobody noticed her until she disappeared, it was as if she was invisible. She had cloaked herself to not be seen. She was tired and need to rest, she didn't want to encounter anyone before going to sleep.

The Adventurers continued chatting and drinking unaware that someone was here.
