Happy Monday!
Heres the chapter, enjoy.
ED: Ignite
As soon as Akira left, the room fell completely silent.
The hero who was in front of kept glancing at , but I didnt say anything.
Asahina was intently pondering over sothing, unaware that Yoru was gazing at him with hostility.
t, then, first of all, why is the princess here? And, where do you planning on heading next?
As we all kept silent, the man nad Asahina nervously said this to .
When I lifted my head up and t his eyes, he, for so reason, flinched and looked away.
I sighed and answered him.
Our final destination is the demon king castle thats in the innermost part of the demon territory. We ca to the beastn territory because Akiras weapon was in need of maintenance, so Kurou tempered it for him. It will be decided after discussing with Akira and Yoru on whether we will be directly going towards the demon king castle after this or not.
I purposely didnt say the nas of the hero and the others.
After all, it seems that Akira didnt want them to co along.
Can I ask you sothing?
Go ahead, after hearing Nanases reply, I looked towards the five people who werent sitting down.
You guys are not of the sa opinion as those two, right? You object to working together with Akira.
Am I wrong? When I confird with them, two people nodded their heads.
The girl who had a strange way of speaking, Ueno, and Waki, who was obviously an animal trainer, these two people.
The other threes responses were vague.
Before trying to persuade Yoru and I, unify your thoughts first. Fortunately for you, both Akira and Yoru are exhausted and need ti to recover.
I wouldnt say that there was a lot of ti, but even so, there was enough ti for everyone within their party to gather their thoughts.
When I said this, the hero who was making a difficult face and had remained silent up until then lowered his head.
We will do that. Thank you very much.
The hero said this and stood up.
Asahina who was next to the hero sat up as well, bowed towards , and following after the hero, left the room.
The other people did the sa as well.
They had such proper manners.
Akira was like this at tis as well, but they who ca from another world were fundantally courteous.
Co to think of it, Ive heard that the people in a certain Yamato country within the human territory were also extrely courteous.
Most likely, the hero who founded Yamato ca from the place called Japan where Akira and the others had been living in.
Yoru, do you think that Akira wants them to co with us?
With the living room being reduced to but one person and one feline, Yoru made a difficult face as his gaze turned towards .
His golden eyes bore into from below.
Like that, he thought a little, and then shrugged his shoulders.
Who knows. Im not too sure what Master-dono is thinking either. It just seems like that impertinent youngster had a close relationship with Master-dono.
Yoru flared up at the man nad Asahina much more than called for.
He probably wasnt pleased with the fact that Asahina knew more about his master than he did.
Besides, the animal trainer and the girl with the strange way of speaking were both clearly hostile towards Master-dono. I cant say that its a good idea for those kinds of people to accompany Master-dono.
Certainly, I nodded.
However, if were on the topic of Akira being hard, what about .
I almost killed Akira.
Certainly, at that ti, I was not in control of my own body, but even so, it was due to my carelessness.
In the first place, my being abducted by a demon was also due to my lack of strength.
Thanks to theShadow Magic, there wasnt even a scar afterwards, but if it wasnt for that, Akira wouldve died.
Seeing that Ive turned silent, Yoru looked at with worry.
Miss Alia, dont worry about the stuff at the dungeon. What matters is that in the end, Master-dono lived through it and is as healthy as ever. Master-dono, doesnt think that Miss Alia wanted to do that either.
I regained focus, smiled, and nodded.
Un. Thank you, Yoru.
Yoru nodded in satisfaction and once again pondered over sothing.
I left Yoru as is and went outside of the house.
When I entered the nearby forest, I sensed that the trees were welcoming , a high elf.
Elves were a race that lived in harmony with trees.
In the past, the sacred tree was valued even more than the territory itself, likely out of fear that the other races would cut it down if they took over the forest.
Because that sacred tree was sothing that one was forbidden from coming in contact with.
no, we did not co to think of it this way now.
For generations, whenever ones thoughts had reached an impasse or one was worried about sothing, one would co into the forest like this, and ask the trees.
I put my forehead against the welcoming trees trunk.
The mont when my hand pierced into Akiras body ca to mind.
Yoru, youre wrong. Certainly, I could not consciously move my own body at that ti, but.
I clenched my fist.
That hand was visibly trembling.
Iwas happy that there were traces of when we were connected remaining on Akiras body.
I detested the fact that I hurt soone I loved, but I was extrely happy that there were traces of left on Akira.
After all, if Akira found a way to return to his original world, he would throw the likes of away and imdiately return.
I heard that Akiras okaa-samas body was extrely weak, and as it would be impossible for his younger sister to support her all by herself, he had to return.
After returning, he would probably forget about .
Akira might marry a woman who was suitable to stand next to him and was prettier than .
However, when he sees that scar on his body, he might rember .
I am so terribly jealous.
Before, I was jealous of my younger sister, now, I was jealous of a person who Ive never seen before.
Aah, how ugly.
The corners of my mouth curled up in self-mockery.
And then, there was the sound of a branch snapping above .
Taken aback, when I looked up, my eyes t jet-black eyes that were mixed with the darkness of the night.
Those eyes were narrowed in satisfaction.
I thought that you were worried about sothing, so its about that, huh.
My mouth was dry, and my mind was not working.
Finally, I squeezed out that persons na .
A, Akira.
