Chapter 18: She finds out!
With a chirping sound, the door to Ary's room slid aside and he stepped in.
As soon as he entered, his eyes fell toward his front, toward Erica's bed.
"Hmm. Good to see she's sleeping."
He mumbled as he saw the blanket of her bed wrapped from top to bottom.
With a smile on his face, he stepped toward his futon, and before entering, he yanked out the book of Almita from his arm and rested it on the desk.
Then, he stepped toward his futon and uncovered the right side of his blanket. He sat down there, but suddenly his left arm grabbed sothing squeezy.
*Boing*
It was like the softness of soone's boob.
"Hmmm? It can't be..."
Ary murmured as he realised who it might be.
He uncovered the left area of the blanket and found Erica resting there, sleeping peacefully. "Hah...this girl..."
Ary, while placing his right palm over his forehead, let out a sigh after finding her again on his futon.
His eyes shifted to her as he asked,
"What is so good about sleeping here? You have a comfy bed over there, right?"
He knew that she was asleep and wouldn't reply even though he asked anyway.
Then, with a sigh, he rested down there, and while looking at Erica from such a close distance, he pondered,
'She looks so incredibly cute from this close.'
Nevertheless, the incident happened again.
"Umm... Ary..."
Erica called out in her sleep.
"Hmm? What's up?"
Ary asked, despite knowing that she was asleep.
A little smile ford on Erica's face. She pleaded,
"Will you love ...?"
"Hmm?"
Ary responded as he closed his eyes with a smile and pondered openly,
"I wonder... it's sothing that I can't even be able to understand at all..."
Then he opened his eyes and, while facing Erica, he admitted,
"But...if that person has to be you..."
Then a smile ford on his face. He confessed,
"I won't mind falling in love with you a thousand tis."
Since he knew that she was asleep so she didn't hear it, that was why, to show his love for her, which had developed in him unconditionally due to so past events, he moved forward toward her face and gently kissed her forehead, saying,
"Truthfully, I thought I'd already fallen for you on the day we first t."
Then, he retreated, and while resting back on his right side, he added,
"I hope... when I truly beco stronger, then I'll confess my love to you."
His new motive was to protect her and the world from the Demon Lords and the Demon King, for which he had to be stronger.
He closes his eyes and ponders,
'I'll be strong... much stronger than the 1st Warrior.'
And soon enough, he fell asleep.
After seeing him taking deep breaths in his sleep, Erica, who was actually awake, turned around with a smile and mumbled,
"He loves too! I feel like the blessing of the gods is upon ."
Then she turned around and, while gently embracing Ary, she said,
"Whether you beco strong or not...I always love you...and always will...Ary."
Then, while gently closing her eyes, she fell asleep.

"What are you doing there, Galiriothoxmus?"
Lady Selene asked as she found Galiriothoxmus standing on the balcony of their room and gazing at the sky.
She stepped toward him and asked again,
"Are you worried about Ary and Erica?"
She knew that he had already lost about 769 of the Warriors that he and Lady Selene summoned to protect the world, and out of which, Ary sohow managed to escape death from Lord Wolfra's hand, yet there were more lethal opponents for him. Galiriothoxmus was worried about whether Ary and Erica could manage to defeat them or else... they would end up dead.
"You know how powerful the Demon King is. It was my mistake back then that Ary faced such fatal injuries during his fight with Wolfra. But I don't want him to die by the hand of that Demon King. I'm not sure whether Ary and Erica will be able to surpass the 1st Warrior's strength or not."
Galiriothoxmus represented his worry. Their main motive was to defeat the Demon King for the sake of the peace of the world.
After seeing him worried, Lady Selene gently wrapped her arms around Galiriothoxmus's right arm and comnted, while embracing him,
"Don't worry. They will be fine. Have so belief in them. Okay?"
She tried to comfort him since she knew that he was really afraid of losing more warriors, and it looked like he had cald down a little. He gently nodded and replied,
"Hmm. I believe they will be fine."
Then, he glanced toward the stars in the sky and pondered,
'I wonder...will they really et up to our expectations?'

Almita commanded.
"Mhmm..."
Ary responded, and while taking a yawn, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Hmm? It's morning already?"
He mumbled after realising that ti had flown so fast and it was morning.
He gradually sat down on his place, and while resting his back on the slide of the desk, he called out,
"Hey, Almita."
Almita responded.
Ary shifted his gaze to the ceiling and asked,
"What do you think? Will I be able to be like the 1st Warrior?"
