BATTLE OR ALIVE
Chapter 19: The Golden Eyes

The battle was over with a landslide victory from Jell. Lhava lost because it was hit by the biggest attack owned by Jell “Explosion” one of the seven strongest skills in the world.

The arena opened with the disappearance of the chain of vows surrounding the battle arena. For the damage caused by Jell, it will be directly repaired by the system, this is the same as the death system experienced by the person who conducts the duel.

The damage caused by Jell was a large hole as deep as 10 meters long by almost 15 meters. It was as wide as their battle arena. In other words, the skill had destroyed the entire corner of the arena, and Lhava indeed had no chance of winning.

The people who saw the Explosion power scene were very surprised by what they saw, not only a few people who saw it but almost everyone who lived in the district A area could see and feel the pressure from Explosion that Jell put out.

There was only a hot crater left, there was only one foothold belonging to Jell that he was occupying. Jell drew his sword into the scabbard on his back.

Yet one of those confused people was just one who jumped up and went towards Jell's whereabouts, she Mai.

Mai jumps and flies creating the sight of a Valkyrie descending to pick Jell up to heaven, but the only difference is Mai. He jumped up and focused his income towards right onto Jell's footing.

Jell who was there noticed it and turned to him. Whispering Jell called out her name, and so did Mai who was jumping, yelling at her.

“Jell!”

“M... Mai...?”

Landing right on Jell's footing, Mai quickly embraced him. Jell who was hugged fell from her footing, she poked her body at Mai who was hugging her, and Mai also leaned on her so as not to fall into the hot crater that was below them.

Hugging Jell and jumping to get out of the crater, Mai used low level body reinforcement, “Super Jump” skill level C.

Landing on the other side of the arena, Jell was already without the strength to guard his body. But his consciousness was still not faded, he was aware that with the conditions surrounding him, people were hustling to see Jell.

From them there were many people, ranging from merchants, adventurers, knights, and ordinary people who were relaxing in this district. All of them swarmed Jell who was without energy.

But there are some people who are able to hold them all, they hold people back from meeting Jell first, because they do not want Jell's security threatened, he said, and those people were the guild employees and Yinn the guild leader.

Paving the way for the medical team to bring Jell to treatment, they took Jell to the guild. Passing through the hordes of people, they cross paths with Lhava and his two women, and the girl is also with them.

Stopping the movement, Jell asked Yinn to take Lhava with her. He didn't want Lhava to get blasphemy and treat people badly. To avoid that Jell requested that they also bring Lhava with them.

***

The tallest tower in district A, right in the square. A black figure of three people was standing there. Looking towards the dueling area of Jell and Lhava.

The figure of the three is seen from a distance, and the battle of Jell and Lhava can be seen clearly from up there. Looking at all the events and ending with the ultimate attack from Jell who created a white light illuminated District A.

The light began to weaken and dissipate, leaving only dust that rose in the arena. And so is the existence of the three figures. It disappeared just like white light.

***

Already 10 minutes after the battle, Jell and Lhava were still unconscious. Elsewhere from the treatment room, the guild head's office, Mai was having a one-on-one talk with Yinn.

“So to inquire about the chaos that occurred in district A, Mai-san, I called you here.”

“Hm, I know it.”

Yinn with a serious face and a serious sitting position as well, supported how important their current conversation was. Just like Mai did, she was also serious about answering what Yinn would ask her.

“Petama, from the information we got, that Jell has issued the strongest skill of the seven skill level ‘SSS’ is it true?”

“Ahh, like that.”

Yinn wrote what she received and would what she asked in the book she currently held.

“What is the cause of their battle this time?”

For Yinn's second question, Mai made a difficult face. He didn't want to get Jell in trouble because of the mistakes he made. The real reason for this battle was Mai, so to not involve Jell any further she would hold him back for as long as possible.

“The reason is because Lhava wants to avenge him.”

“Defend? On Jell?”

“No. But to me.”

Yinn was listening this time which made the face difficult. He did not expect that Lhava would attack Jell even though he knew how strong Jell was. But he's still hard to understand.

“What is no other reason?”

Yinn asked again. In order to obtain and expand on the information he needed, this time he asked about another reason.

“For that, there.”

Yinn who heard Mai's words raised an eyebrow, she wanted to confirm this and wanted to know what it was. Yinn started taking notes and was ready to listen to what Mai was going to say, but what she said left Yinn shocked and in disbelief.

“The second reason is because he wants to heal his girlfriend.”

“The girlfriend? Is that true?”

“Ahh.”

For Mai's words, Yinn did not believe her and for that she asked him back and the answer remained the same as what Mai had said to her earlier. But it was simply not possible for a bastard like Lhava to help a fellow. Yinn is still digesting information for this condition.

“Therefore Yinn-san, I want to say one thing to you.”

Mai said what she wanted to say to Yinn, and her reaction was as shocked as before. But this time Yinn made a bright face and smiled while looking at Mai gently.

“Are you sure Jell will allow it?”

“Did you forget Yinn-san? Me and Jell are one, what Jell thinks is the same as what I think. And that's for sure.”

Yinn who heard him chuckled as she wiped away the tears at the end of her eyes, she laughed too much, but she was not as outspoken as Mai. She is a disturbed woman, Mai said in her heart.

“Alright then.”

***

In the treatment room in one of the guild building sections, a hospital for adventurers was located. Although the name of the hospital, but this is more suitable in the name of the doctor's office for the size of the room.

There are six “Hospital Bed” in this room, and Jell is also included in it. In this room there are three Hospital Bed that are used, for Jell, Lhava, and the other is a Lhava woman named Wilita.

And among the sick people there are also some people who sleep where the patient is, people who often take care of them, the closest people.

Mai sleeps by resting her head on Jell's bed with her hands, she falls asleep so soundly that a little saliva comes out of her mouth.

It was a terrible sight if Mai knew that she was sleeping while salivating. But for this sight was something very sweet considering how gloomy he was this morning.

“This... Where...?”

One of the patients got up and looked around. His head was still aching for some reason, and his consciousness was still not fully regained, so it still took him some time to fully get up from his sleep for an hour.

“Mai?!”

For the patient who wakes up, he's Jell. He shouted in a low tone as he looked at Mai who was sleeping on his bed. He did not remember why he was here, but he obviously seemed to have fainted after his duel with Lhava.

“So it is still difficult to adjust to avatars from this world, yes?”

Jell buzzed in a whispering tone. He processed all the information he had already obtained from his duel with Lhava, and the result was a bit shaky.

(We cannot freely use our full strength in this world. Because we use our real bodies and not avatars from BOA. If this is a BOA I will not faint just for using the ‘SSS’ level skill but why? Is it because of our body? But when viewed from the diagram on the Status Plate we should be at a fairly high level. But why?)

Jell trying to decipher all the information she had, why she fainted, why she was exhausted was what she was asking right now. But it would still be a mystery to him if he thought about it again.

(To conclude, it is possible that my body experienced a shock when using the ‘SSS’ level skill so that my condition became clear.)

Jell was still asleep in her mind until she forgot something she should have realized. Suddenly a small kiss landed on her cheek, for her because of that sudden Jell lifted from her consciousness and saw who it was.

“You're finally awake.”

With a wide and sincere smile, tears came out of his eyes and flowed down his cheeks. Her eyes are watery which makes her sky blue eyes very beautiful like a step diamond and the only one on earth. Mai has woken up.

Mai held Jell's hand tightly, she cried? But that sight made Jell's heart beat. His face was flushed red and unlike her who was always calm.

“Sorry has you worried. But there's one question I want to ask.”

“Hm~ What?”

“Why did you suddenly give a kiss?”

For Mai's face that was full of tears, now turned red with a combination of a few tears at the end of her eyes. The perfect blend for a good-hearted heroin.

“I-That's because of me... so glad you woke up..”.

While slowing down her tone Mai gave an excuse. For her reaction Jell could no longer hide her smoky red face. He turned his face away from Mai and vice versa.

But for this flowering situation does not last long. For Jell who was sepetinya think of something that seems awkward if not she asked now.

“Hey, you didn't do anything weird to my body, did you?”

While making Jell's angry face look at her, Mai who got the gaze and question turned her face even more by making a troubled face. Like her super cute face was just a charade, now Mai was sweating coldly while turning her face away from Jell.

“Hey, what are you doing to my body?”

“Ehh~ T-no, I didn't do anything.”

Jell's face looked at him even more sharply.

“There's a red mark on my neck. What are you doing?!”

“Ah! Right too, I forgot I had to take care of something.”

For Mai who stood up and turned to get out of Jell's place, she held him in the collar of her shirt. Mai ran with all her might, but what a power, she just ran on the spot and did not move a semester.

“Jawab I Mai..”

To Jell's question this time, he gave a face that was more frightening than the previous one. Jell smiled with a pitch-black aura following her smile. The devil's smile, was the nickname Mai gave for her such attitude.

“Alright! All righty! I'm story.”

While making a clenched face like a squirrel that put a lot of nuts in her mouth, Mai began to speak.

“Water Mark.”

“You know, the conditions in which the patient and his identification nameplate are often confused. So in anticipation of that I have to make a water mart for you.”

“What kind of condition is it, after all how can you lose someone in a place that is only as big as this hall?”

“I told you not~, for anticipation.”

For her joke Mai got one big bump on her head. Kissing and playing someone's body in her moment of unconsciousness, Mai is like a venereal villain.

Stopping him there, Jell began to look at Mai who was holding her head from Jell's punch by crying. He was already better than before, what Jell had said in his heart.

“So Mai, how about Lhava condition?”

“Hm~? He is treated here too, loh.”

“so, yes..”

Hearing Mai's words, Jell felt better. To think of a bastard like Lhava, Jell was a good person.

The condition of the hospital in this guild and how its quality, can be said to be extraordinary for the size of a hospital in medieval times. There are many modern courtyards, as there are the practice rooms of a doctor.

This is not a pride, nor a coincidence to be proud of. That is because the concept of the world is what supports the development of technology and information here.

Previously it was said that in this world there is a Job that is in everyone, and one of them is Marksman. This job is a long-range attack type job, and what is related to long-range attacks is, in the form of bows, spears, and of course machine weapons.

In Marksman job users not only use bows or spears, but in this world there are modern weapons such as rifles, snipers, and machine guns. That's because this world system is the world of BOA. In the BOA, a Marskman used a rifle as his weapon, not just a spear and a bow. So if you see a very contrasting difference in terms of culture and development, Jell and Mai have familiarized themselves.

And this is one of the reasons why Mai is hesitant if she will take Marskman as her second job. Before knowing the fact of cultural differences, Jell and Mai thought Marskman's job was only a user of bows and spears.

Returning to Jell and Mai who were conversing, Jell asked something she should not have said, but it would be very awkward on her chest if she did not ask Mai.

“Mai, how to with-”

For Jell's words that have not been fully conveyed, Mai cuts him off and conveys what Jell wants to ask him. He knew what Jell was asking and it was obvious.

“For that woman she's been treated here. She is next to Lhava, so don't worry.”

Hearing Mai's words to answer directly and without hesitation to her question, Jell laughed.

“Hahah... As expected of you, you can think of it?”

“Of course not? You think how long we've been together.”

“Hm, you're right.”

Jell threw a face with a bright smile and just like Jell, Mai also returned her smile. A warm, flowering view out of Jell's property.

“It looks like you've been cured.”

Yinn who felt that feeling made a beautiful face that was as happy as the two people. Yinn approached them and conveyed a few things regarding their duel, and it seemed like Mai had managed to eliminate a serious problem for the case. Jell and Mai are innocent of the mess they caused from their duel.

***

Being in the large hall in the room, it was the main place in the guild, there were quite a few people doing activities here. Starting from adventurers, knights, and employees.

Deciding to leave the guild when Jell was fully healed, they had to solve one more problem, not a big one. But this was the important thing of his duel against Lhava, it was.

“Hm?”

The place was in front of the guild's large door that was wide open, there was a weak figure standing beside the door like waiting for someone, with a robe covering the entire body and the head, which was the same as the rest, the girl standing there created a mysterious sight. That girl is what Jell meant.

The girl realized the whereabouts of Jell and Mai, with her obedient and trained attitude she ran in front of them. The girl immediately took a position behind Mai with the distance between them and she was approximately 1 meter away.

Jell who saw his quick reaction moving from front to back made him put on a gloomy mood. He didn't think the girl would instantly take her position as their slave after Lhava's defeat.

As with Jell's reaction, Mai also uses the same reaction. But she was different from Jell's gloomy look, Mai made a black face and high discomfort.

She was not like Jell who was directly staring at the girl when she moved, Mai turned her eyes away like she did not care about her figure.

Jell realized her reaction was just making a difficult face with a wry smile on her face. Jell went back and called the girl to herself. Of course as expected of her, the girl went straight to her new master, with her running closer to Jell's call.

“What should I do, sir?”

Jell had not said anything and the girl immediately called him master, what is slavery in this world all that? That's what Jell's thinking right now.

Jell was deeply troubled by the girl's condition, as if she was remembering a slightly dark past for her at school.

“Ah, that, what do I want to say yes? Ahh, bagini yes.”

Jell while scratching her head she found it hard to find the words to start a conversation with this girl, she was awkward. Unlike her, Jell was hard to stare at this girl directly, but could she see the girl from the robe that covered her body? Jell still had a hard time seeing it even though the girl was covered in a robe.

The girl who saw the confused Jell just made a question mark appear from the girl's head, she did not understand what Jell wanted and meant. How he wanted to understand, while Jell also did not understand what he wanted to say, their conversation only became a very awkward conversation.

“Ahh, just stop calling me with the word “tuan”, my name is Jell, Jell Kiyomizu. And she is Mai, Mai Ogawa.”

For their first conversation Jell started off well, self-introduction is the right thing to get to know each other.

Because they will start living together, so self-introduction is the main and important thing.

The girl just looked at him from the side of the robe, she nodded with Jell saying. He seemed to understand his mood, and Jell was feeling better now.

“Ya, for now let's go to a better place, if here it seems less suitable.”

Jell, Mai and the girl went from the front of the guild towards their inn, but this time there was a slight difference. Jell instead of going straight to the second floor where their room was, now she went towards the lobby.

Jell chatted and took the pouch out of her breast pocket, gave it to the guard and Jell got the key.

“Alright! Now we'll move rooms.”

To Jell's words, Mai was not excited at all, she only responded with a very lousy cheer, unlike her who always acted as she pleased. And the reaction of the girl was not noticeable, her face was covered in a robe.

“Oh please cheer up a little, we'll move rooms, so come on.”

They went up and got to the room Jell had booked, room number 15, second floor. The room was five times larger than their previous room.

This room was like the luxurious hotel room he had seen on TV, but this seemed beyond his expectations, it was because the decorations and furniture in the room were empty and only contained two large beds.

“We have to decorate it ourselves, yes?”

While making an annoyed face he was disappointed with the quality of the rooms in the inn he rented. But if you want to get a good quality of an inn, you have to go to district B area, and of course the price is much more expensive than here.

“At least we've got a better room. Hm, right, much better!”

Nodding his head and holding his waist Jell looked satisfied with his efforts all along to have a wider room. But among those who rejoiced was only one Jell, Mai made an annoyed face and the girl did not respond to anything.

“You didn't ask the owner first did you? You do not ask what quality and facilities are provided. You suck!”

To Jell who was said to be lame by Mai, making her receive quite severe damage with a dark shadow appearing on her face. He forgot to ask the main thing in a sale, quality.

And because of his careless actions he got a bad word from Mai, he made a fatal mistake.

“Ano, the.”

For Jell who was still falling with his fatigue from forgetting the quality, he finally got up and was shocked by the words earlier, it came from the girl who had been frozen.

“Hm? What's up?”

For his first words to Jell after their introduction, Jell was excited in this condition. But the pleasure of his heart was shattered by the girl's next words.

“I ask permission to go now, so call me if there is a need, Jell-sama.”

(What did the girl say? Gone off? Go where?)

Jell's heart broke with her words, the girl asked her permission to leave and didn't know where it was going. But for that question the one who asked him was the one who was not expected.

“Where are you going?!”

“Mai..”

To his master's question of course the girl answered him clearly and without any lies in it.

“If allowed, I want to set up my place for a while. So forgive my sassness.”

The words were spoken, and the meaning of the words was of course known by Jell and Mai, it was a slave room. The slave room was one of the few rooms in the various inns, the purpose of the room was of course to put the slaves away from sleeping and wandering around the inn of the master.

If a slave was in a slave room, it would be the same as putting a pet in their cage so as not to spoil the view from the inn, it has also become a common secret for slaves to be treated like pets when they are in an inn or hotel.

“I'm sick of everything you say. Anything with that robe anyway, huh! Open now.”

Mai was already unable to control her emotions anymore, she violently snatched away and unfastened the girl's robe. The robe in the throw and no longer covered the girl anymore, the scene that lay behind the cloak was very mysterious.

The clothes are dirty yellowish white, torn clothes and no longer fit to wear, only wear white negligee. His hair was long to the hip, black hair was messy and not well taken care of. And the most striking is the girl's eyes, her eyes golden yellow, the sting is beautiful and very mysterious.

The figure of the girl had been seen, there was only one word in Jell's mind as she looked at the sight of the girl, Cruel.

But what power with all the rules that exist in this medieval world, in this world only upholds one motto, powerful and weak strong who are stepped on, in this world, the weak should do anything for the strong. That is the chain of life in this world.

(Very cruel. I want to destroy it so badly I want to destroy it!).

(Hugs)

The girl fell silent as she felt a strange feeling. Mai hugged him firmly, as if she did not want to let go again.

Mai hugged her while crying with regret, she was so sorry to run away back then, she wanted to hit herself back then, but right now just by hugging her Mai was already feeling guilty.

He may not be able to forgive himself who ran away during his meeting, but at this time he would never again let go.

(Eh? What is this feeling.like nostalgia..warm, very warm embrace.).

In her heart she filled herself with warmth, she could not open her mouth, but right now her feelings were not a lie. The girl wanted to cry, but her tears did not come out, like a dry water source.

(This feeling reminds me of that moment.
