Happy Wednesday!

Heres a longer chapter for you. We are now back with Akira and Amelia and should stay with them for the next while, according to the authors note below. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Authors Note:

Ive made you wait for a long time.

From now on, it would mostly be from the protagonists perspective.

The perspective will change between the protagonists.

The shadow magic completely swallowed up the arrows, and when I stuck my chin out as if saying that I could still keep going, a third partys voice reverberated throughout the plaza.

Both sides pull backk!!

Used with the skill Roar, his shout stopped my movements, albeit slightly.

A tall person, appeared on top of the branches of a remarkably tall tree closest to the plaza.

That person who was emitting an overbearing pressure even when seeing him from afar saw that our movements had stopped, kicked the branch that he was standing on, and with one jump, he landed in front of Kirika.

Over there, was a king.

Not like the questionable king of Retice, but a king that everyone had dreamed of.

He didnt flashily have a crown on his head.

He didnt have the gentle disposition like the Emperor and Enpress of Japan either,

Rather, I felt a prickling pressure, but as if somewhat gentle, he had an air about him that was unique to those who were in a position where they always gave out orders.

O, otousama.

Kirika dumbfoundedly muttered.

It turned out, the man that exuded a kings aura from his entire body was Amelia and Kirikas father.

According to what Amelia said, her father, the king, was also being charmed.

It appears that, there were no limitations to the charm skill, and there was no target either.

No, it would be scary if the charm skill had that kind of ability.

Kirika, what did you do to Amelia.

I, I.

He turned to coldly look at Kirika.

And then, Kirikas body was trembling.

What is going on.

Was the king not under Kirikas charm.

I looked at Amelia, looking for an explanation, but Amelia was looking down, and did not notice my gaze.

I gave up looking for an explanation from Amelia, and looked towards the father of the two who had appeared.

Amelia probably, took a hit from the roar just now.

There were also some among the elves who fainted, so was Amelia not better than them.

Or rather, for the roar to make them faint just like that, was it true that Kirika was the strongest elf.

Im going to ask you one more time.you, what do you do to your older sister?

T, that person is not my older sister.

Kirika declared that, her voice trembling.

However, her eyes widened with fear.

If its that scary, you shouldve apologized even if it was a lie.

I see. I am disappointed in you.

The king gave a short response.

The disdain in those eyes was obvious.

And then, the king looked towards Amelia.

Amelia, my daughter.

The look in his eyes was completely different from just now, he seemed apologetic, as if he was going to kneel down.

Like a husband whose affair was exposed.

Amelia finally lifted her head.

She firmly looked him in the eyes.

The various incidents up until now, it was truly inexcusable.

The king silently bowed his head towards Amelia.

Amelia and Kirikas eyes widened, and the other elves surrounding us were noisy as well.

He was exuding the presence of a king just a while ago, but he had completely turned into a father.

For me to exile my daughter who knew nothing of the outside due to anger and left her on her own, I wasnt thinking straight. Even if I had become strange because of Kirikas skill, I am not qualified to be a father or a king.

It was inexcusable, the king said, and he gave a deep bow once again.

Why.

These words finally came out of Amelias small mouth.

I kept silent due to the atmosphere, but Yoru and I had completely turned into air.

In addition, if Amelia ended up staying in the elven territory, we will part on friendly terms.

In accordance to our link, if one of us died, the other will as well.

We didnt test it out yet, but if we used Amelias Resurrection Magic, I think that we could avoid those side-effects as well.

I left to all up to Amelia, and the person herself acknowledged it too.

However, if Amelia said that she would remain in the elven territory and will not go with us, then there was nothing that can stop me.

There were many dangers if were going to the demons continent, there was the possibility of death.

It was like telling Amelia to die.

Truthfully, I could just ignore the demon king, but when I used the Eye of the World, the future that I was able to see in that instant ruled that out.

I didnt know what was going on, but if I dont go to the demon kings castle, this world will end.

Of course, we wont have the time to go back to our original world, we too will be swallowed up in it.

In the first place, this entire world was vague.

No, I should say that, from what I can see, it was vague.

Since I havent used the Eye of the World, its just my intuition, but there was someone within Retice castle whose status surpassed 100.

It was most likely so for the king, as well as the the knights and butler jii-san who we met in the beginning, and the maids.

Only, the princesss status was low.

If thats the case, were those words,In this world, the limit of the average persons attack power, is 100, even for someone with a battle-oriented occupation, the limit is 500, lies.

Certainly, while I do complain about the hero, for me to have believed that jii-sans words, Im still naive as well.

However, what if those words were true?

I understand that the heroes have to leave the castle some day for the subjugation of the demon king.

If, if they truly intended on bringing the heroes over onto their side, then wouldnt there be no merit in lying in that place.

If they leave and meet other adventurers, their lie would be discovered immediately.

They may have tried to brainwash us with the crystal, but it wasnt used like that.

The princesss crystal was most likely something that ate into ones mind little by little.

It was something that amplified the negative emotions that one already had.

Different world summoning, to be blunt, its stressful.

I wasnt one of the people who didnt have any negative emotions.

Besides, roughly summarized, its a curse, but its closer to mind manipulation.

Thats why, even though the exorcistthe girl with the Kansai accent dispelled it as well, it took time.

Although our levels were low, my classmates, including me, were a group of cheats.

It would be strange if she couldnt dispel something like a curse.

Not being able to do that was because the classification was incorrect.

It was my mistake for concluding that it was a curse.

At this time, wouldnt they be able to make them have a falling out using the mind manipulation.

kira, Akiraa!

When I lifted my head, Amelia was worriedly looking towards me.

It seems that, perhaps due to the fact that there was no time to think in the dungeon, my mind wandered off too much.

Are you okay?

Aah, no problem.

When I looked elsewhere, the king of the elves was looking at me.

Those eyes were the eyes of a father whose daughter was taken awaywas something that Ive never seen before so I dont know, but the look on his face gave off that feeling.

Amelia was there, so hes smiling, but his eyes were clearly rejecting me.

What are you to Amelia?

I felt like a blizzard was coming through.

Depending on your answer, Ill kill you, that kind of feeling, huh.

Why dont I answer him honestly.

Its a relationship where it was just two of us in a narrow and dark place for about a week.

The kings face stiffened.

There was barely a smile left on his face, but the corners of his mouth was twitching.

A, Akira, even if you dont say it in such a misleading way. Though it was certainly like that.

The smile had completely disappeared from the kings face.

You are called Akira-kun, right?

Yes.

Please have a match with me.

Ha?

Why did it become like this.

I glanced at Kirika.

This guy was glaring at Amelia.

Wasnt she doing something to us earlier.

My daughter wants to go with you. To the demons territory, of all things.

I was surprised and looked at Amelia.

Certainly, I wanted that, but even though she finally reconciled with her father, did she not want to go home.

Perhaps she knew what I was thinking, Amelia shook her head.

Akira, do you know the reason why otousama is not under Kirikas charm right now?

No, I dont know.

When Amelia turned around, she looked at the elves who were still directing their killing intent towards us.

Its because otousamas level is higher than Kirikas. His skills as well as his status are inferior to his daughters, but in terms of level, otousamas is higher. In this elven territory, only otousama can win against Kirika.

Amelia suddenly stared at me.

Akira not being charmed by Kirika is also because, Akiras status is above hers. Due to the same reason, my Curse Reversal is not effective against this charm either. It would be best if Kirika turned it off, but she probably wouldnt do that.

Glancing at Kirika who was clearly glaring at herself, Amelia said that.

How should I say it, shes become strong.

Even though she was trembling at that gaze until just now, shes become admirable.

What did she talk about with her father.

I can understand that. But, why are you going to the demon territory?

thats because, Akira wants me to. You need my Resurrection Magic, right? Besides, I want to go with Akira too. Well always be together from now on.

Perhaps, this was a proposal.

Her hand clasped in front of her chest, Amelia looked at me with tears in her eyes.

Perhaps its because theres not much difference in our heights, it was unfortunate that she wasnt looking at me with upturned eyes.

This was how she usually pleaded with me when we were in the dungeon.

I was weak against that, just how much meat was taken.

I got it. Rather, you want to ask me, but before that, do something about your father and younger sister.

The king was glaring at me just like Kirika was glaring at Amelia.

Furthermore, Yoru, who had been completely forgotten, was leaning on me with its huge body.

am I, air? Master-dono.

Gulp.
