Princess In Another World: New Story
48
Her night.
The bathhouse ageless.
“Haaaa, Iona how do you like it?” I rented this place to enjoy.
“Ya.” He still looks so sad.
“Iona, this place is quiet, lo. Even though you scream no one will hear.”
“Then, what's the problem?”
“You did it? Here?”
“A-what are you saying, i-it's a shame.”
“Hahaha, you're finally back as usual.” His gloomy face disappeared.
“Back as usual?”
“Beginning earlier you were moody, I did not find a way to make you back to normal, so I thought this way was quite effective and it worked.”
“So... Ari, do you want?”
“Huh?”
“You said you wanted to do it here, is that just a way to tease me?”
“Eh, j-if you say it like that... Is it okay?”
“If you want, I have no problem.” Tonight became a long night, sweat mixed with hot water and also a perverted sound that began to be heard covered by the flow of hot water flowing profusely. Iona and I spent the whole night here.
Sky palace, afternoon.
“Haaa, it's afternoon, yes. It was so draining, I didn't expect Iona to be so aggressive like that and again, she looked so happy yesterday.” Whether it took me how long, when I brought him here we continued until we fell asleep from exhaustion.
Long enough after that.
The library.
I left Iona and headed to the library to read some books. “This is it, the demon race.” I found it, a book about the demon race. “Thin once, but already than nothing.” I started reading it.
Not long after that.
“Ari.”
“Iona, are you awake? Have you eaten yet? I've prepared food for you by the bed.”
“Yes, I ate it. Thanks.”
“So, oh yes. We'll be home in a minute, after I finish reading this.”
“What book is it?”
“Book on demons.”
“Book about demons? Can you read it for me?”
“Good.”
*****
The demon race, consisting of various types of monsters that were sinister at the same time had great strength. Among the demon race, there were demons that had strong destructive power, orcs and also ogres that had high physical and magic resistance, as well as, in addition, there was also a dark wizard who could use extraordinary destructive magic, then the most feared was the demon king himself.
The demon lord possessed immense power and was able to destroy an empire with ease, 1 flick of his weapon was able to finish off thousands of soldiers at once with great ease.
In the attack, the demon lord would bring his entire army to conquer the world and all that could defeat him were chosen heroes.
******
“Kira thought like that its contents.”
“The chosen hero, if without the hero is not it the same as impossible to defeat him.”
“Iona, don't be such a pessimist. We can definitely find a way, I'm sure of it.”
“But, that demon lord has a very great power. What if..”
“Sttttt, let's try it first. If it fails, then use another way, if another way does not work use another way. Before you try it, never despair. If you despair before you try it, then you will never know the true results you can get when you try it. So at least we try first. Hows it? Has it restored your spirit?”
“Iya, thanks.”
“No problem. Alright, it's time to go back.”
“Iya.”

Special headquarters.
“Ari, princess, why are you back. Didn't you say you wanted to vacation for a week, did anyone miss?” (Lucy)
“Lucy, soon we start the plan. In the meantime, Iona, you can talk about your plans with your friends who are in Guil, I'll drop you off.”
A few minutes later.
I've taken Iona to Guil Kingdom, and I'll pick her up with her friend later tonight. Then right now I'm talking about something important with Lucy.
“Ari, what happened?”
“The Kingdom of Seronia gets an early warning attack, it means the kingdom that is east is almost completely destroyed.”
“So, so that's why you came back sooner than what you scheduled.”
“If things weren't worse than I imagined, maybe I'd stay for another 2 or 3 days but in fact the situation has gotten worse. Therefore as soon as possible we should immediately prepare something necessary for this battle.”
“You can estimate the time it took for them to get here?”
“3 months, there is a possibility also can be faster. But judging from the situation, I was vacationing in a very distant kingdom that took 2 months to travel by horse carriage and 2 weeks to ride a dravin. I think 3 months is the time we have.”
“So, it means we only have 3 months, yes. If only a little longer, at least 4-5 months, maybe it will have time.”
“Yes, if it can be longer it is also okay, but the truth is that it is a time that I can take into account. There was already no time left, convincing the kings to make an alliance would not take a short while, after that doing the exercises for the troops, it also took a short time. In addition, large-scale attack plans, it also can not be done carelessly. Our enemy this time is not humans, but the demon race that has great power.”
“Ari, this is just a suggestion from me. Wouldn't it be better if we could ally with another race.”
“I also think it can be done, but after remembering the events they had experienced first due to human gluttony. I'm a bit doubtful they'll welcome this alliance with open arms.”
“So, yes. If only those people used to be not greedy, it was possible that now a strong alliance of various races could be formed and the chance of defeating the demon lord became even greater.”
“Yes, surrender will always be there, especially for people who have experienced the pleasure of world treasures. Never mind, the past cannot be changed. But at least I want to try it first.”
“So, if so good luck.”
“Iya.”
“Ahh, if you want to go to another continent. I'll hand you the note I made this for you.”
“What is this record?”
“Note about the sky palace flight path, otherwise another 2 days the sky palace will arrive at the area of power of the elves, you can get down from there and directly meet them for help.”
“It's so good, I didn't expect you'd make a useful note like this.”
“Yes, because I don't know if it will be useful or not, so I make it as a free time.”
“Thank you, this is very helpful.”
Nightfall.
The sky palace.
Me, Iona, Naila, Ria, Lucy, Marie and Paul gathered in the lounge room to discuss plans for the future.
“Because our time is thinning, so I want all of you to work at your best.”
“Sorry, eehhh... How about your honeymoon with princess?” (Mail)
“Haaaaa, forget that. Now there is no time to discuss it.”
“Ehhhh..”
“If you want to ask that question, ask outside the meeting. Okay, we start the meeting.”
Long enough after that, the impromptu meeting was over.
“Ehhh, what should I call you? You’kan is married to a daughter, do I have to call you as.” (Naila).
“Ari is enough.”
“So Ari, how about your honeymoon?”
“Everything is destroyed, this impromptu meeting is also done because of that problem.”
“So.”
“As we discussed here, from the results that I can predict the possibility of the demon king will arrive here in less than 3 months. I want you all to work as much as possible, that is to get satisfactory results. I'll also do something to make your tasks easier.”
“Ari, what are you going to do?” (Lion)
“Request help from other races.”
“Eh? Other races?” They were all shocked to hear this, either because I first heard there was another race or because of something else I couldn't shoot him.
“Iya, the important thing is I want to try it first besides that the more help then the chances of winning will be greater, true’.”
“Yes, it does have a point. But Ari, didn't I.” (Iona) I cut her words.
“If not already tried, how can you know. Correct’.”
He smiles. “Iya, then fight.”
“Yes, leave it to me. Then for all of you, do your respective duties well, you could say that the destiny of this world is in your hands.”
“The destiny of this world, is on us.”
“I actually don't want you to carry this heavy burden, if any of you want to retreat you can do now.” There was no response. “I assume you all can do it. Alright, I give you 1 more day before you do the task, just think of this as a ceremony before this plan starts.”
It's been a nice night, everybody's laughing and happy, telling their story, their love story and it's making the atmosphere here warmer. Despite that…
1 Day passed, and this was the time.
The sky palace was already right above the elf continent. “Iona, use that key to return to the palace, I will leave now.”
“Y-ya.”
“All of you, please help Iona if she is having trouble.”
“Good, just leave it all to us.”
“Then, I leave.” I jumped down from the sky palace and headed straight down, the elf continent.
----
“Who is it?!”
“Weeew, just got off instantly welcomed.” A few young elves swarming around me.
“What is a human like you doing in this forest!!”
“I want to meet your chief, take me to your village.”
“She's a dangerous person, everyone finish her off!! Don't let this monster come!!”
“Hey hey, I'm here with good intentions, lo.” I try to avoid every attack. Despite that…
Swutt.
“Wih, almost only.” I managed to dodge it, a very accurate arrow attack. “Your sword skills are lacking, but as I expected the archery ability of the Elf race is indeed the best.”
Long enough after that.
“Hmmm, are you tired?” I just dodged their attacks and did not put up a fight, because if I did that I could get a bad impression and be considered a criminal. That's why I avoided it.
“Help comes!!”
“Wah, it looks like this is becoming a little troublesome.” The reinforcements are coming.
“Quickly give up, you won't be able to get away now.”
“Ehhh, if I really want to run away I've run away from earlier. I told you, if I just wanted to go see the leader of your village.”
“What do you really want? Why do you want to meet the village chief?”
“Hmmm, I want to talk to her about something.”
“Man like you, did you forget what your race did 500 years ago to us!!”
“I came here peacefully, after all you attacked first, and again I have not retaliated against your attacks, not good what else I am.”
“We will not let you reach the village, although it must die here we will prevent you from coming to kedesa.”
“Wah, your spirit can too. But you can't say that easily. Death is not an excuse, remember it.”
“Don't teach us, monsters like you. Should be eliminated immediately.”.
“Stop.”
There were others coming, and he looked different from the others.
“Village head.”
“Women?” The village coconut is a mature woman.
“Man, what do you want?!” (Village head)
“I want to talk something, if I can talk about this I want to talk about it alone.”
“K-you, how dare..”.
“Loud, let him, if he's serious you won't be able to win against him.”
“T-but..”.
“No problem. If you want to talk, you can come with me.”
“Good, thanks for your generosity.”
“It turns out you're better at talking than I thought. Everyone, stay on guard.”
“Good.”
At the village head's house.
“Sorry, previously I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Touji Ari, as you know I come from the human continent.”
“No need to be formal like that, this is a private talk. My name is Ruie, a village chief. Then, what's your purpose in coming here?”
“Offer alliance formation.”
“Alliance formation? You know what your race did 500 years ago to us elves.”
“Silence does exist in everyone, even in other cases greed persists. But, because of human surrender and also ****human, 500 years ago they did something stupid. I'm not asking you to forgive what the human race in the world has done to the elves in the past, but what I want now is an alliance to establish a peace. All this to fight the demon lord. I'm sure you already know.”
“Yes, there were some of my storks that were attacked by the demons as well, but they managed to fight back. Even so, we are strong enough to handle this issue alone.”
“So, yes. I want you to consider this again, I beg.” I bow my head.
“What do you really want to achieve?”
“A peace, where all can live quietly without any fight or war. But, if this world is ruled by a demon lord, I cannot make it happen.”
“Silicy dream.”
“Yes, that does sound silly, but somehow I want to make it happen. Therefore, I know your people hate the human race very much, but for the sake of the survival of your people as well, I want us to make an alliance for the sake of defeating the demon lord.”
“I'll think about it.”
“So, if it is like that I will go around first while waiting for your answer.”
Long enough after that.
I got somewhere.
“This place of treatment, yes.” There were many young elves who were seriously injured, it was likely that they were injured as a result of fighting the demon lord's army.
“Who are you!!” Someone comes to me.
“Quiet, I'm not a bad guy. As long as you are friendly with me, then I will be so with you.”
“Don't stand it, quickly give him help.”
“Good.”
The situation here is so busy, magic treatment is used even though it is effective but the number of people treated is very much. “They are the ones who fight in the front row, yes.”
“I deeply regret the circumstances of these young elves.”
“Huh? You?”
“Ahh, my name is Guo, leader of the medical team.”
“Once, my name is Ari. Man.”
“So it's you, yeah. People who fight the guard troops.”
“No need to be formal like that, besides my age is still young.”
“Alright, if that's your request.”
“What's the situation in the front row so worrying?”
“Although it managed to withstand the attack of the demon king's army, but it cannot be denied that the casualties on our side are increasing every day. In addition we also lack medical personnel, there are many patients who are not well managed. It is unfortunate, but if we can be honest at this time the medical team is no longer able to.”
“So, I understand your condition. Looks like you're all in some pretty serious trouble. But, if they were left, surely they would also die.”
“Yes, severe wounds cannot be healed quickly. Before it heals, the mana used will definitely be very large. I can't bear to see their suffering like this.”
“Haaaa, lives must be well guarded, if not able to fight yes retreat.”
“Huh?”
“That is something I often say to my troops, if the plans made fail then you can retreat, no you have to retreat no matter what happens, lest anyone die, remember there are people you love waiting for your return, therefore do not throw your life for free. That's what I always say to my troops before war.”
“What an awesome command.”
“Yes, you could say it was just my selfishness. But, maybe it could also be an excuse for me not to let my troops die in vain, because they are all my family.”
“Family, yes. I am so jealous of the troops under your command, I am sure they must be very happy when led by an authoritative person like you.”
“Once, I don't know either. But it seems so.” I looked around, the situation was getting worse. “If not treated immediately they will all die one by one.”
“I know that, but our top priority right now is treating the treatable elves.”
“So.” Seeing her somehow made me move a little. “Please take this as a gift for the courage of all of you, and I hope you guys don't waste your lives this time. Moreover throw it away for free.” I used large-scale healing magic to heal all of them, slowly the wounds experienced by all the elves here began to heal.
A few moments later.
The effects of her magic ended and all the injured elves recovered as before. “Why do you do something like this, none of them know you and will thank you. In addition, events that occurred in the past..”.
“It is an old wound, if it is nipped again it will only open a long-closed wound. I don't need thanks, I just can't let anyone who fought to protect something die under these circumstances. They still have to enjoy life, there is still a lot they can do.”
“It turns out there are also kind-hearted humans like you.”
“This is just my selfishness, I am not as good a person as you think. Everything I do is for my personal satisfaction.”
“Despite that, I thank you for saving them all.”
“No problem. Ahhh, it seems like it's time for me to hear the answer. Then, I'll go.”
At the village head's house.
“So, can I hear your answer?”
“I still can't confirm it.”
“So, yes. I understand, after all, it is not about the dignity of your people, but the survival of your own people. If you accept this request, it means that you have betrayed your own people, but if you do not accept it then gradually your people will also die from the attack of the demon king's army that is endless.”
“You already know that far.”
“My observation is quite great, and I have also learned quite a bit about the elf race before.” I gave her something.
“What is this?”
“If you need help or your nation's situation is in trouble, use it. I'll come right in and help you.”
“You intend to use this for the sake of getting me into this alliance?”
“No, but somehow I can't let a person in trouble carry such a heavy burden alone. If your answer is still, I won't mind it, but I would be very disappointed if only for the stupid self-esteem that your people hold in high esteem, put your people in their worst state.”
“You are very considerate, how about you just marry me?”
“Hahahaha, funny joke. Unfortunately I got married a few days ago.”
“So, very unfortunate.”
“Hahaha, but my honeymoon fell apart due to the demon lord, and now maybe I will meet him less and less.”
“Why?”
“Because he has other tasks that he has to complete. Sorry for making you listen to my obscure rant, then I'm leaving.”
“Interesting man.”
