Princess In Another World: New Story
37
2 More days before the magic academy entrance examination begins.
“Iona, is there anything you want to do?” We are in the royal garden now.
“Ari, can we meet again?”
“Of course, although the time is a little long. But we can definitely meet again.”
“So.”
He looks so moody. “Quiet only.” I stroked his head. “I'll come here once to see how you are, you don't have to worry.”
“True’?”
“Iya.”
“Appointments? You're gonna come here to see me?”
“Yes, I promise. Therefore, when I come here I want to see your change. How much you've developed as long as I'm not around you, I want to see it. Therefore, you must make it into this magic academy, don't you have a dream that you want to achieve.”
“True, I have a dream.”
“I'll look forward to it.”
Today Iona's depression can be eliminated, but the problem is.
1 Day before the exam begins.
Nightfall.
The academy entrance examination will begin tomorrow.
“Haaa, finally arrived too. Tomorrow is the time, it's time to sleep.”
“Ari..”.
“Ya, what's up?”
“I thought, I didn't want to study here?”
“Eh? Wh why? Why did you suddenly say that?”
“I-it..”.
“Don't that mean the training you've been doing all this time doesn't mean that you're not going to this magic academy?”
“But..”.
“Haaa, you have a dream, right. Are you going to throw it away that easily?”
“B-so, sorry.” He looks very sad, maybe because we are going to be apart.
“Please yourself, I’kan already said I will come here to nudge you occasionally.”
“I, don't want to part with you.”
“You are very selfish, just because of that you are willing and want to throw away your dreams.”
“I'd be sadder if I had to be away from you, I don't want that.” She cried. “I beg you. I beg.”
His dependence on me made him like this. ‘It looks like this is entirely my fault.’ I drove him because I wanted to make him feel calm, if only his plight would have been like this I should have stayed at the headquarters. I don't know what to do now to calm him down.
“I beg...” He clasped my hand tightly.
I honestly don't want to see it like this, but there seems to be no other way. “Iona.” We're face-to-face. ‘I'm sorry, but I can't let it go like this. I'm ready with the consequences.’ I kissed him, right on his lips.
After a while I let go. “You've calmed down?”
“C-kiss lipped.” It seems he has calmed down. That's what I was thinking. “Ari.” He turned around and kissed me. “I love you, very-love you.”
My head felt empty and somehow I couldn't think clearly. ‘Already, I don't care anymore.’ If it should vanish, I could at least see it one last time. “I love you, Iona.”
A cold night turned into a hot night, Iona and I did something I could have imagined. I was prepared for the risk, even so.
Tomorrow, in front of the magic academy.
Daytime.
‘I'm still in this world.’ The agreement with the goddess was absolute, I should have vanished when I said it. But I am still in this world.
“Ari, I'm leaving.”
“Yes, fight I will wait for the result.” We parted. My circumstances changed, so I didn't want to get away from it. “Haaaa, what I was really thinking last night. Damn it.” Remembering what happened last night made me feel ashamed, and again. “Haaaa, fuck. I've passed.”
Test, battle arena.
The exam conducted by Iona will be completed later in the afternoon, so I decided to take a look at the entrance test of the magic battle in this colosseum in the kingdom. “Hooo, this year's students seem to be quite talented.” (??)
I became a spectator to watch the other students match and measure the magic power I could use as well as the kind of magic I could control. But... “Ahhhh, shit.” I keep remembering what happened last night. I can't turn my attention to anything else. “Haaaa, I hope Iona is fine.”
Afternoon.
“Haaaaa, boring.” I've waited long enough and the students fought fiercely even so there was nothing that interested me. Besides... “He was a long time ago.” I told him I'd wait here, if he's done he should've been here. “It looks like I have to look for it.”
“Hooo, see next fighter is prince.” (??)
“Wah, I can't wait to see his greatness, I heard among the students who just entered he is the strongest.” (??)
“I wonder who will be his opponent.”
The talk of the adults from the kingdom, they only judge one's abilities by the way they use their abilities. “Sucks.”
“A girl? Why is a girl the prince's opponent?”
“That's not fair, where may the prince fight a girl.”
“Girl?” When I heard that, I saw it right away. “I beg you not to..” And the one inside the arena is Iona. “A-what-what's this.”
“Good, ready. Start.” The battle bells begin.
“Sial, I have to stop it.” The moment I wanted to enter, a magic protector was in the way. “Damn it!! I have to do something.” Iona is not good in terms of attack magic, she does have a lot of mana but she still can't control her magic.
“I have to be fast.” I tried to destroy the magic barrier, but this is harder than I imagined.
“Hooo, see prince start attacking him.”
“S-shit!!”
“The girl was hit by her attack.”
I saw it, Iona sprawled. “Sialan.” It makes me very angry, very angry. “No I will forgive.” I used 4 magic attributes at once to disrupt this protective flow, and it worked. After that I went straight to him.
“Hoy, why did you enter the arena. Outsiders are prohibited from being in.” (??)
“WHISPER!!! Hahahaha, time for vengeance. You'll take it.” That prince, I burned it with fire magic. “Look how helpless you are.” He's gnawing like an earthworm seeokor. After that I added lightning magic and it made an explosionand it knocked him quite far away. “Hey hey, I'm sure you won't die with just something like this.” I doused it with water magic. “You know the consequences if you hurt him. I will inflict such cruel torment, that you will not dare to do such a thing again. Next, what.”
“You, stop!!” Someone came and tried to stop me.
“I am a combat training exam officer.”
“So you, yeah. Why do you force people who have weak physiques to join in a silly game like this.”
“Have a weak physique? I read it from his registration he is fine.”
Judging from his expression he didn't seem to know that. Iona couldn't possibly forget to write that, other than that she didn't want to worry me either. “What is this king?”
“This test was done against his will, but he did not seem to know about this. Besides, what you've done. Did you know he was a prince, you did such cruel things to him.”
He tried to lie to me. “He also attacked a princess, and again the princess was much weaker than him.”
“Princess?”
He really doesn't know, it means it's all him. I used healing magic to heal Iona's wounds and also heal the prince's wounds. “Cih, this sucks. Quickly bring them both in the treatment room.” I disappeared, using teleportation magic, and my goal.
Palaces.
“S-who are you!! How did you get here!!” (soldier) I'm in front of the king now.
“I've let you in for the past few days by letting your special forces do some reconnaissance on me, but it looks like you've indeed fished out my patience. But, because of your filthy ways, you've made a person of great value to me hurt. Do you think I'll stay quiet after seeing that.” I stick my finger.
“Then, what are you going to do. From the very beginning the suspicious person was you, I had no intention of harming the princess but it seems that I was mistargeted. I didn't expect you to just come to drive him, this really? Destroying this kingdom?”
A few moments after that. “Y-the noble, critical!” A soldier came.
“A-there is a giant magic circle in the sky that meets this kingdom.”
“You seriously want to destroy this kingdom?!”
“You know, I am a person who is willing to do anything to see someone who is precious to me happy. But, if anyone dares to hurt him, even if it is a king even I will annihilate.”
“You're crazy!!”
He started getting intimidated, I stopped the big magic I made. “Haaaaa, this is just a warning, if you do something bad to him I'm not sure this kingdom will exist again.”
In the treatment room.
“Ahhh, son you have come.”
“Grandfather, what are you doing here?” The grandfather I met was here.
“I'm just checking on your girl's condition, it looks like she's fine. She just fainted, and for the prince she's okay too.”
“I don't care about that prince.”
“It looks like your relationship is much closer than before, and again that big magic, did you let go? What happened?” I explained everything to Grandpa. “Hmmm, the king was wrong in this because his vigilance put him and his people in danger. But I also don't justify what you're doing. If you want to avenge him, you should just kill his king that way it'll all be done. If you do that, innocent people as well as people who don't know anything will be involved in this matter. You should have understood that.”
“Yes, I understand. But, can I kill the king?”
“If it can dampen your anger, why not. Besides that the wrong thing is the king, the great power you have made everyone would not dare to oppose you. But, it can also be a bad thing.”
“So.”
“Ahhh, your girl is awake. I'll go first, don't forget what I said just now.”
“Good.” Grandpa left and I went straight to Iona. “Iona, are you okay? Is there a body that hurts?”
“A-I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Then, what happened how did I get here?” I explained, of course there are things I hide. “Once, I passed out, yes.”
“Iona, if you don't want to study in this kingdom you we can go home, I won't ban you.”
“Eh? Why suddenly?”
“But, if you still want to study here I won't stop you either.” I was worried about him, especially after this incident. I don't know what the goddamn king's gonna do to Iona.
“I've decided, I want to study here. Besides, I don't want your efforts in training me for a few months to be fruitless.”
“So. If you've decided, how else.” I can't stop him.
At night, in the inn.
Today's plan I want to go back, but since it's too late I decided to go home tomorrow.
“You accepted?”
“Yes, I've moved my stuff that is here keasrama.”
“So.”
“Ari, tomorrow you will go home’.”
“Iya. Maybe morning.”
“So.”
Iona was ready, but somehow I wasn't ready to let her go. “Ari, you're worried about me, yes?”
“Yes, no one you know here and no one will protect you here, if anything happens to you when I'm not around, I'm very worried about it.”
Kiss.
He kissed me. “Calm down, I'll be fine. Here I can definitely get a lot of friends who want to help me when you're not around, you don't have to worry.”
“Iona.”
“Ari..”.
Yes, tonight ended with a hot scene.
Her morning.
Magic academy.
“I'll be home, take care of yourself, yes.”
“Ya, just relax. You too, take good care of yourself.”
Today is the day of farewell, I must return to Thorwn Kingdom immediately. “Goodbye.”
“Ya, goodbye.” I parted ways with Iona after dropping her off at the magic academy.
I slowly started to move away, and somehow this felt really heavy for me. “Haaaa, looks like I should get used to this.” I'm out of this kingdom.
In forest.
“Vice commander.”
“Ahhh, sorry. I didn't tell you about me coming home late. Sorry.”
“Not that, but the magic circle we saw yesterday was.”
“Nothing, it's just a decoration. No need to think about it. Haaaa, time to come back. I'm sure there's a lot of work to be done.” The 8-day vacation with Iona ended here.
