"Hola amigo!"
The black sli that has always been with suddenly changed after I breakthrough to interdiate level. The voice is changed from a feminine voice of a woman, to a macho voice of a man.
This is not Victoria. This is soone else. Blobby? Or is it another person?
"Who are you and where is Victoria? And what is that amigo?"
"That's just a greeting my first master used to say to other people. I was a summoned monster long before Victoria died and her soul transferred to my body. I'm the real black sli, or should I say I'm the original personality of who you called Blobby. My na is Javier. That's the na my first master gave to . But you can call Blobby like usual."
"My na is Roy, but you can call The Great One like usual."
"…your personality is the sa as ever."
I feel a sense of familiarity from Javier. He's Blobby after all. But what does this an? How co there are multiple personalities in Blobby? And where's Victoria?
"You don't have to worry about Victoria. I have received permission from her to take control of this body for a while. She's also listening at the mont. Unfortunately, this will be the first ti and the last ti we et each other. Once Victoria returns, this body will be in her full control. That's why I want you to listen carefully to what I have to say. With both you and Victoria listening, I think it would be fine even with your terrible mory."
"…we just t and you already make fun of my forgetful trait? How long can you stay in control?"
"Until I changed back to Victoria. After that, I will never be able to co out again. Even when you improved your summoning level to advanced level. Now, where do you want to listen to my story?"
"The king's bedroom. Or wherever Albert decide."
"You still don't trust and want Albert to detect if I spoke any lies? That's fine."
"No. He's just smarter than I am. If he listened right away, he might be able to make up so plans. What you're going to tell is sothing related to what happened, right?"
I just make so wild guess, but I don't feel that I'm wrong.
"Yes. That an Victoria won't be with you for a while. Is that fine?"
"Yeah. She will agree with here. If she's inside Blobby with you, you should be able to contact her, right?"
"…she said she'll leave everything to you. And she has many questions to ask , so I won't be able to speak much with you on the way. I'll tell you everything I know when you're there."
"Okay. But at least you have to greet the others so they know what's going on."
Then I quickly return to my ho and told everyone that I'm going to the capital in a hurry. I contacted Sonia to gather everyone in the house before I left.
Once I returned, everyone is looking at with worry. Those worries changed into confusion when Javier spoke.
"Hola amigos"
"…what?"
Of course they would be confused. I can guess what Hola ans, but what is amigo?
"This is Javier. He appears and took control of Blobby for a while, so Victoria will be unavailable until he's gone. But he has sothing important to tell , so I'm planning to go to the capital so Albert and I can listen to what he says." I summarized what happened.
"So you'll be going to the capital? When?" Kayla asked.
"Right away. Ian, if I rode on your back to the capital, how fast will you get there?"
"Probably around midnight."
So fast! Even , if I run with full speed, I would arrive at the capital tomorrow at noon if I'm leaving right away! Now I'm jealous of those who can fly. I need to learn Air Steps soon.
"Then can I ask you to bring there? And Sonia, inform Albert that I'm eting him."
"Okay." Sonia said.
As for Ian, he asked for Ruby's permission first. Seeing how important the situation is, Ruby permitted Ian to leave with one condition.
"Bring Lana with you as well. Since you're going to et her parents, it will be a sha if she didn't co with you."
We will be flying, but I don't have to worry about Lana's protection if she's with . I can make Air Shield around her body. It's a weak protection, but if it's useful against normal wind. If it's hit by wind from magic, it will break easily. And Ian can make Wind Shield as well to protect Lana. She will be safe on flight.
"Sure. Jewel, even when I'm not around, don't slack off on training!"
"YES MASTER!" Jewel shouted.
She still can't control the volu of her voice well. But it's getting better. As long as it doesn't involve , she won't raise her voice. Like when Kayla or the others asking her sothing, she will answer normally. But only when I told her to do sothing, she will raise her voice.
Is it because she worships ?
After preparing ourselves, I ride on top of Ian's giant falcon form with Lana in my embrace. Although my Air Shield should be able to protect her from the wind, it's still better if I embrace her.
We flew very fast and within few minutes, even with my Divine Vision, I can no longer see Cassau. Make envious again with those who can fly.
With this speed Ian flew, I can match him if I run on land. But there are many obstacles, and there aren't any in the skies. That's why I won't reach the capital so fast.
Back in Cassau, Shirley also wanted to return to the capital. But she must have noticed from my reaction that it's sothing urgent, so she held back from asking.
She can fly as well with her wind elent, but unlike Ian, she needed mana to stay in the air. She won't have enough mana to fly all the way to capital. That's why she can't join us. She will return ho in another ti.
Then midflight, Sonia appears and informs us on how to et Albert, while I'm making funny face to entertain Lana.
"Roy… your face might traumatize her so stop it. Albert says that you need to enter the capital from the north. The security in the capital is heavily improved after the stampede. But for tonight, all the guards patrolling the north area are our people. They know we're coming. After you enter the capital, you can directly enter his chamber from the open window." Sonia said.
"Oh! It really is as you said! We will talk in his bedroom!"
Suddenly, the black sli who has been quiet all this ti speak.
"How's Victoria?"
During the whole ti he's quiet, it ans that Victoria is asking him so questions. It took so long so maybe they have sothing similar. I hope it's not their hobby.
"We're good. My first master and Victoria both ca from the sa world. I had a lot of fun talking with her. Seems like that greeting I learned from my first master, 'Hola amigo' is from another language in her world. It ans hello friend. Victoria and my first master lived in different countries in that world. And their main language also different. Victoria's ho country's language is similar to the language we use in this world, which was called English in that world. While my first master's country's language is Spanish." Javier said.
"You've been watching us ever since I summoned you, right?"
"Yes. But I only know now that my first master is also from another world. I thought the way he spoke is just gibberish. Turns out it was another language. I should have learned more about his language."
"Was your master an Aura user?" It was Sonia who asked. I guess she's also curious about Javier's first master.
"No. But he's a genius in magic. He awakened five elents at once. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Summoning. Other than his summoning elent which stays as beginner level since I can't fight, everything else has reached master elent." Javier said.
"Then… does that an you're able to talk with him when he's just a beginner level in summoning elent?" I asked. If he could do that, then why did he keep quiet in both this life and in my previous life?
"I know what you want to ask, but I'll tell you everything when Albert is with us. It also involved how Victoria and I share a body."
"Okay. Then… are you really a black sli, or you were also a human in the past like Victoria?"
"Born as black sli. Raised as black sli. Living forever as black sli. I'm immortal after all."
"Are there any other summoners between your first master and ?"
"Yes. Several of them. But only you who has reached interdiate level in summoning elent. None of my previous masters are Aura user. I was considered as flop even when I show them how smart I am by talking to them. After my first master died, I beca wild monster and returned to Monsters World. Then each ti a summoner activated a portal for their first summoning close to where I am, I quickly throw myself into the portal to be their summon."
"Can't you attack like Victoria? Turn yourself into human form and attack with weapon?"
"I couldn't before. Since I always summoned by mages who aren't Aura users, neither I or all my previous masters thought of that."
"Then… are you the one who returned to the past?" I asked sothing I always curious about.
"Yes. I'll tell you about it later. We have reached the capital."
Now I will know how I returned to the past and for what reason. I can't calm down knowing that I will find the reason about my return to the past even though I always told others to calm down.
Wait! Does it an Javier also co from the future since he knows that he's the one who brought to the past!?
