Kitsune In Another World's
Chapter 23 [Queen Tiana and King Yervant ]

The blank look Mio gave out in the middle of the pile of corpses no longer felt life. Mio doesn't know what else to do now. His brothers and the people he had always protected were dead in his own hands. Even though he had heard that they forgave him, Mio could not forgive herself.

At that time, walking two beautiful figures who did not tread the ground. The two looked at Mio with sympathetic eyes. A sense of unbearability was clearly drawn in their eyes.

One of the two emitted a warm golden light. The haired and fragrant woman of sunflowers with shining green eyes seemed to want to cry to see the state of Mio.

{ Kitsuna Mio.. do you feel regret for attacking creatures within limits? }

The question that came out of the mouth of the beautiful woman did not make Mio respond at all. Mio just sat pensively like before. Without looking at the woman, Mio began to move her lips.

"If what you mean is my people, then I'm sorry. But if you mean the insects that impose this situation on me, even if time repeats itself, I will do the same thing" replied Mio politely.

Mio could instantly tell who the two creatures in front of her were just from which stream they were, and neither of them were people who could casually deal with informal words. Hearing Mio's reply, the woman shook her head gently.

{ Yervant, can't we really give an exception to this girl? }

The woman let out a pleading look at the person next to her. But the man who was emitting a dark greenish-blue light like the sea shook his head. The sea-blue-haired adult man and the golden eyes sighed.

[[Our job is to enforce the rules. No matter what the reason behind the offense was, as long as they broke the rules, they had to be tried. Did you forget that, Tiana? ]]

{ Impossible, it's just that. It feels too depressing... }

Yervant actually also agreed with the words of the woman next to him. But the rules are still rules. Beings outside the boundaries must not interfere in the affairs of beings within the limits so that the tragedies of the past where the imbalance of power that caused the world to be almost destroyed occurred again.

The man named Yervant and the woman named Tiana who came together out of nowhere were now together touching Mio's shoulders with each of their hands.

[[Kitsuna Mio, I assume you've prepared for the worst possible punishment you'll ever get ]]

{ Please don't hate us too much because it's }

Mio did not care, from the start she had already prepared for whatever would happen, even if her life was taken away. After all, why think of a punishment that would be no worse than the tragedy he just experienced?

CRIIIIGGGGGGGG

An extremely dazzling silver light shot out from Mio's body. Before long, the light turned dark little by little until it finally turned completely black. The black light or aura coming out of his body was absorbed into the hands of the man and woman.

It only took a short time until it was as if the black aura had disappeared completely from Mio's body. Mio felt a strange and slightly tickling but painless taste from her body.

"So so. My punishment this time was to permanently remove the Dark Magic Blessing (The Blessing of Darkness Magic) from me," Inner Mio in the midst of the suction.

"Have it, what's the point of having elemental blessings that can't help me protect my loved ones."

The woman and man felt that Mio did not care at all even though she lost one of her elemental blessings, whereas the dark element was one of the rarest in the world.

For the record, of course a normal person could not possibly be able to attract one's elemental blessings permanently. Moreover, both of them could do that without any resistance from the person they attracted her blessings.

The suction is done, now Mio can no longer use dark magic without an intermediary (magic tools such as teleportation paper are not included).

[[Let's go back Tiana! It's not good if we're here too long ]]

{ I understand, Yervant }

The woman and man turned away from Mio, occasionally the woman glanced at Mio full of sympathy. He had already given many punishments to the offenders before, but a sad case like Mio was very rare to meet, even though millennia had passed.

"..... Please let me ask you one thing, Your Majesty the Fairy Queen and Her Majesty the Spirit King." said Mio suddenly.

Tiana and Yervant paused for a moment and turned towards Mio.

[[What's up? ]]

Still with his blank gaze, Mio raised her face so that she could clearly see the two people who had the radiance of an unusually large mana aura.

"Will...dead offenders still receive the penalty of violating this restriction? Something like.punishing their souls or punishing them in the next life."

Yervant frowned, he didn't like the reason Mio asked this kind of thing all of a sudden. Because the tip of this question is definitely not something good. Although reluctant to answer, Yervant still answered after shaking his head several times.

[[A dead person will not receive any more punishment. Death itself is a punishment for them. But they will experience a long enough reincarnation pause to recover their souls ]]

"Thank you for the answer."

Tiana looked at Mio full of worry. He also felt that it was impossible for a question like this to be just a cursory question past his head.

{ Listen son, do not try to break the limit to sacrifice your life. Although you will not be punished again, but your soul will suffer considerable damage. If you have reincarnated later, fear there is still an impact from the damage }

Mio did not answer him, she kept her mouth shut until the Fairy Queen and the Spirit King left her and returned to a different dimension, where they came from. The two could not stay in Demetria for too long because their own existence could already create an imbalance. That was why the fairies and spirits had their own separate dimensions but remained connected to Demetria.

"........"

"........"

Mio got up from her seat. He's pulling his own leg somewhere.

Her pretty eyes looked at the night sky full of such beautiful stars. It felt as if the people and his brother were already the stars that adorned the night sky.

Mio glanced towards the mysterious portal that formed earlier and brought up the two Demetria guardian creatures. To be honest Mio did not expect that the punishment of the borderline violators would be given directly by the two of them. But he was too tired to be surprised.

"I'm sorry Hotaru... Minna... I'm sorry Tiana-sama... But I just realized that I haven't solved everything."

Under the dark and bright night sky at once, Mio's eyes cursoryly restored her silhouette.

"I still have to take care of the root of this matter."
