Heavenly Magician
Chapter 84: The Confession of the Viceroy

Three days after the emergency meeting of the Glory Kingdom, which discussed various matters regarding the matter of the Zombie raid. Or so the Kingdom calls them.

"Shin, haven't you been here three days?"

"Sorry."

"Is the problem really that serious, to the extent that you yourself have to intervene."

Right now in my office, me and the girls are in awkward mode.

This awkward situation should not have happened. But all of that started to happen after I relaxed to calm down

Relaxing is no problem. But then I didn't realize that the girls knew I was coming in the middle of the night and they all entered my room while I was asleep.

Unexpected events did not happen, but in the morning my heart condition worsened as I stared around me filled with a sea of girls in pajamas.

The pajamas they wear are also quite bold, said to be bold because the pajamas seem a bit transparent. I could even see and know what colors they were wearing one by one.

Not only that. The girls sleep with their spouts around me. I initially asked why my bed was bigger than the others. But now I know the cause.

It was true when the palace first stood up. They proposed for me to wear a bigger bed, but I refused.

"Hm. There's nothing to watch. Everything's fine."

I said those words with a smile, but no matter how sincere my smile was, my heart was still agitated at the thought of what happened last night.

Maybe I'm not the only one who's nervous. The girls too. I could tell from their red ears, but I pretended not to see it.

"Shins. You better just tell them what happened." Leen who was leaning near the entrance gave a suggestion.

Leen who had not been seen in the Palace for a long time suddenly appeared. I was surprised at first. But according to his account, he spent his time taking care of various needs related to his duties as Halman's ambassador.

And now. Since he said that phrase, it meant that Leen already knew what was happening.

"What Leen said, Shin." Hana.

"Why don't we know anything." Connect Kyou.

"That's right, every time we want to go outside the palace, it's always been blocked by Lain or another Knight."

"Everytime we wanted to ask him, Lain was always trying to change the topic."

The words Miku and Hilda spoke instantly silenced my mouth. I realized that I had no right to deny it, so I chose to be quiet.

But my silence added to their anger at what I was hiding from them.

At first I wanted to tell them about the problems that had befallen the Kingdom, but since I had not been home for three days, I forgot to tell them. Others also did not have the right to open their voices, so no one dared to tell them.

"Shin?"

One word from the girls jerked my head which from earlier kept staring at the floor.

"From the look on your face, we already know that this problem is very bad, even for you. But we all don't want it if you're the only one who's going to take it all, Shin."

When I heard Miku's words, I consciously turned my head to look at all the girls sitting in line before me.

When I saw them. All I could see from their faces was a sincere smile without any intention behind it.

"Huhh Alright."

I also looked at Leen who was standing behind the girls. Actually I intended to ask him to come out for a while, but I undo the intention. Leen was a good girl, as Miku said.

"Actually the Kingdom is in trouble right."

"What is that problem?" Ask Airi.

I thought for a moment before answering Airi's question.

"A few days ago. Something strange is happening in the capital. Suddenly some of the capital's residents were acting like zombies."

"Zombies?"

"Yes. That's what we call it."

"But if it's just a few, why does your face look so worried?"

"At first, there were only a few people. But over time, it spread and caused the other residents to also start acting strange."

"spread yes. Waited. What do you mean?"

Ryou's words came to a halt as he felt that he realized something.

Putting my elbows on my knees, I answered.

"Yes. All the residents of the capital are infected."

From my short sentence alone had explained all the things I had been hiding all this time. I also saw the expressions of the girls who started to stiffen.

This is indeed a rare opportunity to see the expressions of the girls, but I can't think of it for now.

"So that's the cause of the palace Knight's panic huh?"

I only nodded as I answered Chika's question.

"Only a few people are not infected. But the rest." My words stopped there, but I'm sure the girls understood what I meant.

"Destroyed. Fights between residents led to destruction everywhere."

Fights between ordinary people will not be able to destroy buildings. But in the capital, the ones fighting were not only ordinary residents, but adventurers as well. Even just a low-ranking adventurer alone was enough to destroy some buildings.

But what made everyone confused was the fact that there were some adventurers who had not undergone any changes. That determining factor is what makes everyone wonder.

"So that's yes."

Now the girls can no longer hide their worries about the current situation. Looking at the reaction on their faces, it could be concluded that they all felt guilty for letting me endure everything alone.

On the other hand, I was a little relieved because what I hid from everyone was not in their questions.

"Shins. Are you hiding anything else from us?"

But, it seems like luck is not on my side. The other thing that I was hiding was actually realized by Miku herself.

"That's all I'm hiding, there's nothing else."

Seeing my strange behavior made the girls start to narrow their eyes and look at me.

"I'm right. I feel like there's something else you're hiding from us."

"And look at your behavior. Looks like it's a more serious problem than the population."

Their guess is somehow always right when it comes to me anyway.

All I could think of from the cause of their always-right guesses was that they had been around me for almost a year.

"Shins. Tell us what happened to you?" Airi said that while holding my hand.

The warmth from Airi's hand spread throughout my palm. I can even feel the tenderness of a girl just by touching her hand.

This is called the power of a girl.

Yep. Sooner or later this thing will be revealed as well, so I better just say it now.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ok."

The girls' faces began to show that they were all ready to listen to whatever I said. Airi who was still holding my hand also kept looking at me.

"Just after the zombie incident. For some reason, my magic suddenly weakened."

"Weakens. Is that why I have not seen a single heavenly beast."

"Oh yeah. I didn't see brother, either, Shin. Where are they?"

"I don't know either. The last time they called me, it was right when I arrived at the capital. After that, I haven't gotten a call and I can't get in touch with them either."

An anxious expression spread across the faces of the girls. What worried them was the fact that my magic was weakening and my brother's whereabouts went somewhere.

The girls already know that I am not from this world. They also knew that my three brothers were not my siblings, but they did not know that they were Gods. That's why they feel anxious.

I who know that they are Goddess cannot think of factors that will harm them. But, looking from the tone of their voice that was a little panicked. It makes my feelings mixed.

Are they in the God realm huh.

I can't think of why when the Goddess seemed to panic, what factor made a Goddess can panic was what I was still thinking.

Not finished thinking, suddenly my chest felt a tremendous pain.

Bruck

"Shin?"

As the pain in the chest shook my balance, I finally collapsed without much resistance.

My eyes could still see even a little, so I focused my eyes to look around.

I could see the panicked faces of the girls as they approached me who had been lying weakly on the floor. But unfortunately I can't say anything to them.

And at the end of my fading consciousness, I heard a few footsteps from behind the door.

Knights yes. Good though.

My murmur ended the consciousness I was trying to maintain.

"Your Majesty??"

A Knight ran towards his King who was sitting on his throne.

"What's up. Why are you running around?"

The king who sees it can only wonder.

"Pardon me, Your Majesty. But there's an emergency." Said the Knight in a heavy voice due to exhaustion.

"What problems can make you run around here. Observing the current situation, no emergency problems occurred." The Prime Minister standing beside his King asked in his solemn voice.

The knight knew what the Prime Minister meant, but right now what he meant was not that problem.
