Black Hero
Zen fever

"Just a dream."

I was really surprised, the dream I saw just now felt so real. I could even feel tears coming out of my eyes unconsciously.

"Eh, what's going on? Why are you crying? Is something wrong?"

Kana looks very panicked to see tears coming out of my eyes, because the panic makes the others come to the room quickly.

"What's up, Kana?"

"What's wrong?"

Roy, Brull and William come to the room in a hurry until the door is broken by them.

I wiped away the tears and with a flat expression I tried not to create panic.

"Nothing and also can you enter without having to destroy the door."

They only answered awkwardly and Brull approached and smiled.

"Thank God, you're conscious, Zen. You're just making me worry."

Whatever happened, I don't know anything.

"Right, I thought you were poisoned or something." Roy said as he chewed the bread.

"What happened to me?" I asked with curiosity.

"You suddenly have a fever and you've been asleep for 2 days."

2 days?! I've never been sick since I was a child and now I have a fever, it seems like I'm overworked to the limit.

"That's it, thank you for taking care of me."

I bow my head and thank you.

"Eh, it doesn't need to be that way."

"True, you've been considered a child so where might I just let it go."

Roy and Kana really care about me even though we don't have a blood relationship but they take care of me, really good people like them are very rare.

"By the way, where are the others?"

I asked about Riska and the others, I didn't see it.

"You mean, Riska and the others. They go looking for someone who can cure you, when you suddenly have a fever, they immediately panic and look for someone to cure you."

They did it for me too, I have to thank them when they come back.

"By the way, can I ask you something Zen?"

Kana's face and manner of speaking became serious, it seemed like this was something important.

"Who is Rena?" Ask Kana

Rena's? Who'sis that? I've never heard that name before, but somehow I squeezed that name out before I met him?

"Why do you ask that? I don't know who he is?"

"really? But when you're asleep you always say his name over and over."

Did ya? I don't remember anything.

"Not only that, when your fever your body temperature reaches 38° Celsius." Answer Kana

That right!? That tall? I don't know what happened to me but at least right now I'm fine even if I'm a little limp.

"There's actually something I'm telling you, but you better rest for now." Brull said seriously

"It's okay, just say it."

"Actually..."

Brull told me that the villages near the kingdoms of Agate, Welford and Zetes had been destroyed and they had already turned into demons. As I slept the chaos was going on not only that, Brull also said that there was a portal of destruction so that those other kings could not help the ruined village because it was outnumbered.

"Thank you for the information, then we should go help."

"But we can't do that."

"Right, you're in a bad shape right now."

Brull and William tried to hold me back from leaving, but right now the world is in danger. I can't just sit back and look.

"What they say." Answer Roy

"You better rest for now." Connect kana

Soon Riska and the others returned.

"Came, Brull. We brought in someone who can cure Zen." Lilith loudly shouted and Riska and the others followed behind.

They came over excitedly while carrying a young man in doctor-like clothes.

"You see, we've brought someone who can treat Zen."

"That's not necessary." Brull replied casually while pointing towards me

"Huh?" Lilith and the others turned towards me then they jumped at me excitedly.

"Zen!" Answer them simultaneously.

"Zen, thank God you're okay."

"That's right, you're worrying us."

"Thank God, I don't think I can see you anymore."

You think I'm dead, and so does Laura, don't say that with a flat face, it's so annoying.

"Zen, you're okay, right? Is anyone sick?"

Lina looked panicked and kept touching my face and looking for injuries.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

"What do you mean you don't have to worry?! You have a very high fever and you told me not to worry, it's impossible!" Shouted Rina

I thanked them by tilting my head and smiling.

"Thank you so much for worrying about me and looking for someone to heal me."

"T-No problem."

"Of course, Zen is mine so I'm worried about you."

"I'll always be with Zen!"

"Of course, as your fiancee I have to worry about you."

Their faces became red like tomatoes and nervous after seeing me smile, I don't know what happened to them that I would love to see them like this.

"Annu ... So how should I?"

The man brought by them suddenly raised his hand and asked a question nervously.

"Ah, sorry. Zen is fine now so you can go." Laura replied coldly.

"Can't it be like that, Brull pay him?"

Brull took out one gold coin and gave it to the man but the man returned it back with 10 silver coins.

Then he went straight out. Riska came closer to me and whispered.

"Zen, I found information about Maria and the others."

"That's it."

I forgot, Riska's problem is still not finished. Right now the world is in a big crisis, but I can't leave Riska's problem, either.

Something crossed my mind and it made my confusion disappear. For now we better solve the Riska problem first.

"Well, we'll go back downstairs, if there's anything you can call me."

After Kana said that, Kana, Roy and William went downstairs and left us.

"Listen to all, there's something I want to say."

I took a breath and tried to tell him something I planned.

The atmosphere became serious and silent, They became more serious and silent listening.

"Right now, the demon problem that is plaguing this world is still continuing but on the other hand I also have a problem."

Their faces became more tense than before, yet I ignored him and continued my words.

"There were people who killed Riska before, but at this time Riska survived and she wanted to avenge their actions so I wanted to help her. Is that what you're gonna do for me?"

After they finished talking they just smiled and looked at me.

"No need to ask anymore, right? Zen's problem then mine too." Answer Brull

"The one who makes trouble with Riska is my enemy." Answer Lilith.

"I'll always help Zen." Answer Laura.

"Riska's been so good to me so I'll help." Replied Rina while embracing Riska.

"If Rina and Brull are coming, I'm coming too." Misaki replied while glancing at Brull.

It's been decided with this, once again I'll kill Maria.

Those are my words in my heart with great zeal.
