Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 229 - Reencounter



-----

Xijun couldn\'t believe it! This man was being very unpolite. She had just revived him, bringing him back from whatever state he was before, and he was completely ignoring her!

However, the man heard her loud and clear, as he apologized.

"Sorry, I… A lot of things seem to have happened." He sighed.

"I can tell… What\'s your name, for starters?" she asked.

"My name? It\'s Gustav." Said the man.

"Gustav! I am Xijun, nice to meet you!" said the girl, smiling cutely. Gustav noticed she lacked some teeth and made her smile look a bit funny. But she was quite pretty, nonetheless.

"Ah… Nice to meet you too." Sighed Gustav, as the headache that made his mind dizzy didn\'t stop. He was still barely remember what he had done before. He felt as if an incredibly amount of time had happened since the last time, he did something…

And that something seemed fuzzy and cloudy… What was going on with this man\'s head?

"Ngh… My head hurts…" he sighed.

"A-Are you okay? I-I guess being in the stomach of a fish is quite traumatic… And you\'re completely nude too… Wait here, I\'ll bring you the clothes that my grandpa left behind." Said the girl who only wore a pretty white dress, she ran through the shore and then reached a cave quite faraway, after a few minutes, she came back, bringing some pants, a shirt, and sandals.

"It should fit you; I believe." She said.

"Thank you…"

Gustav quickly wore the clothes as he felt more comfortable now without being nude.

"Come eat something with me, I got fresh water from the pond in the cave, it is not salty! I\'ll boil it for you with some meat, it will make a good soup if we add seaweed and these crabs I picked up in the way!" said the girl, smiling cutely as she brought a pot and began cutting chunks of meat over it, alongside putting some crabs, and seaweed, and lastly, a bit of sea salt all over it.

After that, she placed the entire pot over the fire, as it began to boil hastily. Gustav smelled the delicious scent of the dragon fish boiling up, as he looked at the massive creature that the girl had just "fished".

"You\'re not a normal girl, aren\'t you?" he sighed.

"Huh? That? That\'s just a fish." Said the girl while raising an eyebrow.

"Right…"

As the two waited for their meal, the girl introduced herself a bit.

"I\'ve been living here for years, and I\'ve never seen a man inside the stomach of a fish before. Even less one that survived! Your entire story can be told as some kind of tale…" said the girl.

"Some… kind of tale? I guess… Not even I remember what happened. From one moment to another, I… landed in water and was swallowed…" said Gustav.

"You don\'t remember anything before that?" asked the girl.

"I… I think… I am supposed to remember but… my head hurts so much it is… not easily letting me do so." Said the man.

"Hmm, that\'s quite fishy to be honest. But oh well, seeing how you went through all of that, it\'s natural for you to not remember well… I think my grandpa once found a man adrift in the shore, even after drowning in the ocean he was moved by the waves into the sea\'s shore and somehow was alive." Said the Xijun.

"I see… So there might had bene more people like me before. I wish I could… remember but…"

Gustav seemed conflicted, his heart began to beat faster as he felt like he HAD to remember something, something that was eating away his mind and sanity.

"C-Calm down, relax… You won\'t get anywhere by worrying so much. If you had memorable memories, they\'ll come back to you eventually, right? Here!"

The girl gave Gustav a stick with grilled meat, it was covered in ocean salt and nothing else, yet it looked juicy and delicious.

"Ahh…"

Gustav\'s mouth began to drool.

"Thanks…"

He quickly began to dig in, filling his empty stomach.

"Hehe, you\'re eating with a lot of energy." Said the girl while smiling.

"It\'s delicious…"

Gustav devoured the entire chunk of meat in an instant, sighing in relief. His stomach had finally been filled in god knows how long.

The soup the girl had made was also done by now, so she gave it to Gustav, as he drank the refreshing meal. The boiled chunks of meat were tender and filled with flavor, and the crabs shell had become as soft as paper! The meat was tender and delicious too, and the seaweed was tasty, alongside the soup itself. After drinking and eating everything, he felt refreshed and filled with vitality.

"It\'s been a long time since I ate something so good, you\'re very talented at this, Xijun, thank you- Ah!"

"Hehe, no problem! Hm? What?" asked Xijun, as Gustav suddenly felt an even stronger pain in his soul!

"Unngh…!"

His memories finally began to blossom from within his mind as he felt revitalized and absorbed the energies of this body, starting up his dormant powers in the process!

FLASH!

His brain had been crushed after he fell into a black hole, and after regenerating back, his memories were gone, but his soul still contained his memories. Now that it got some energy from the meat of a powerful being of this world, Gustav\'s memories blossomed into his new brain!

"Agh…!"

"Gustav!"

Suddenly, he heard the voice of Gaia!

"My love!"

And then, the voice of Kireina!

"M-Master!"

And lastly, the voice of Anna!

Gustav was suddenly moved to tears, as he was finally able to see inside his soul once more, his Divine Realm was still there, everyone seemingly survived the trip through a black hole safely!

"E-Everyone… I am so happy you\'re all okay…" he muttered, as Xijun heard him speak alone, and thought he had gone crazy.

She raised and eyebrow and sipped the soup, letting him talk with himself for the rest of the hour to come…
