Princess In Another World: New Story
66
Meanwhile.
During the day in the flower garden in the middle of the forest.
“Damn it!!! Whyyy?! Why is it like this!!” This pain never goes away and it feels so painful.
When all this time the dark side that was hidden rose, what would happen? Destruction, sadness, anger, misery, destruction, or eternal darkness. All of it will appear in time, and this is…
“AHHGGG!!!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” My whole body feels so painful. Darkness, a trait that I had never shown appeared. “I, won't lose.” I tried to suppress that trait with all my might and succeeded. “Gwaaahhhh!!” My mouth is bleeding.
Reaction of rejection, the darkness that was in me refused to be returned and this caused me to become like this. “K-why should at a time like this.” I sat under this big tree and tried to incline myself.
“This sucks.” My body feels very weak right now, using teleportation when I have not fully recovered and enduring this pain is extremely draining. “Haaaa, troublesome.” It is likely that Iona already thinks of me as a demon elf, the question I just couldn't answer. I forgot about it, my goal was to create special forces and why I made them, and when. Iforgetit.
“At least, the memory of it is still there.” The special forces led by the 4 squad leaders, that's all I can remember, names as well as other things about the other special forces have vanished from my memory. “Sial, I can't remember it.” I tried to recall it, but it was a waste I couldn't remember anything.
Even so, there was 1 thing I thought about. “If I tell you the truth, will he trust me?”
A few minutes after that.
“Haaa, I have to calm down.” Despite not remembering about the special forces, I must remain calm. Both the face, the name, and everything about the special forces I did, but at least I found out that there were 4 squad leaders leading them. “That's enough, the rest I just need to find more information about them. That way, I can..” I feel something approaching.
“Dragon...” A dragon is approaching. “T-no, the.. D-ravin.” I still remember it, the dragon I saved.
He landed here and someone came down from it. “Iona.” Dravin left, and just then Iona ran straight for me.
“Ari!”He jumped up and hugged me right away, and I, who wasn't ready for it, fell down. “Ari, Ari, forgive me. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.”.
“Iona, what's wrong? Why are you apologizing?”
“I've heard everything from prince Lucy, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Forgive me for doubting you, I'm really sorry.”
“No need to apologize, in this case I am wrong. I should have told you earlier, but since I didn't want to worry you I hid it and it just became like this.”
“Despite that, I'm really sorry. I had a chance to doubt you, and I.. I. I'm sorry.”.
I held her arms and saw her face. She cried, I slowly wiped away her dripping tears. “Sorry to make you cry.”
“Don't look at me, I'll look really ugly if I cry.” He said that while wiping his tears with his hands.
I called her with a smile.
A while after that.
Iona stopped crying. “You've calmed down?”
“Iya.”
“Haaaa, this place is indeed the best.”
“You're right.”
“Oh yes, by the way how do you know I'm here? And how did you get here?”
“When prince Lucy told me about the secret you've been hiding, I went straight back to the sky palace, but you weren't there. I've been looking all over the place, but I didn't find you.”
“You searched me all over the place?”
“Yes, after that I went back to headquarters and looked for you there. Then, at that time I just remembered that you would definitely be in this place. Therefore I went straight here.”
“How do you know?”
“I am your wife, so I know. No, honestly, this place is the place I like the most, I think because I like this place you will definitely like it too, I think because I like this place, therefore I'm here.”
“So.”
“But if you weren't here I wouldn't know where else to look for you. Honestly, if I didn't find you in this place maybe now I've felt very guilty for saying such a thing to you.”
“Sorry to have made you anxious.” I said that while stroking his head. “I came just to calm down, and also a little rest.”
“Ari, how many of your memories are lost?”
“Down, I can't be sure. I also don't know what memories are missing.”
“So, yes. Did the memory of me disappear too?”
“No, the memory of you still exists.”
“So, thank goodness. I think the memory of me also disappeared.”
“Your instructions have been stored tightly, so it will not be erased.”
“Ari, why is your memory erased. I know, if someone uses magic excessively then in exchange his life energy will be drained, but why in your case should your memory?”
“Maybe, because for me the most precious thing besides you is my memory.”
“Something most valuable besides myself.”
“For others, their lives are the most precious, but for me you are more important than my own life. And so with my memory, it might just be the cause.”
“It is very unreasonable.”
“Ari, are you okay with this?!”
“Yes, I'm a little troubled, but as long as it's not excessive in using magic I'll be fine. My memory will not be lost, maybe I will just run out of energy and with rest I will recover in a few hours.”
“You lied, you're not okay at all. A lost memory is more sinister than death itself. Other people will remember you, but you will forget others, both family, friends and even yourself, you will forget everything. How can you be okay with all that.”
“Haha, I can't lie to you, yes. Yes, I'm honestly afraid that all these memories of me are gone, but I'd be even more afraid if something I didn't want happened to you. Therefore, despite knowing the risk I still use it.”
“Sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing?”
“I don't know, but I feel like this is all my fault. I'm sorry.”
“Haaaa, you have nothing to do.”
“You did that just for me, obviously I feel very guilty. Just for my sake, you got to do this.. Why, is there something strange? Why are you smiling?!”
Hearing him say that, I smiled. “Yes you know, from the beginning the reason I lived in this world was because of you. If only I had never met or replaced you, I might not be in this world.”
“It's clear.”
“If it is like that, when my reason for living in this world is nothing what will happen to me?”
“I... don't know.”
“If something happens to you then I will regret it for the rest of my life, and even though I cannot save this world you are the only person I will save at any cost. That's what you mean to me, you're more important than anything. Therefore, if I have to sacrifice something to protect you then I will, because you are my reason for surviving. I can't imagine what would happen if you died.”
“So, I really appreciate it. Thanks though. But, did you think the same thing when something happened to you.”
“Huh?”
“When something happens to you, do you think about how I feel?”
“Yes, all this time I've been thinking about it, what you really feel but you know I'm quiet and just looking at it. When I see me hurt, sick, and even when something bad happens to me, I always think about it. What do you feel when I go through all that, I think about it.”
“If it is like that..”
“You've always been selfish, but forgive me.”
“Ari.”
“I'm sorry because all this time it has made you very worried about me.”
“So, yes.. If it is like that, Ari I have 1 request for you.”
“Huh? What?”
“Allow me to come in. Awwww... K-why, you can just pinch my forehead.”.
I poked his head. “That's not a good thing, letting you come into this situation alone has made me worry.”
“Ari, lest your excuse come home with such circumstances..”
“Yes yes, do you want to protest?! The royal army won't be able to fight many monsters at once, I exterminate all the monsters that lead towards the encampment you are in. Even so, there are still passing.”
“Once, did I just disturb this battle? Is there nothing I can do for you, at least help to lighten your load.”
I stroked his head. “I told you before. Staying quiet in a safe place is your way to lighten my load.”
“But I want to help you, I can't just look. Therefore, I... I...”.
“Haaa, I expected it. But you are very weak, very weak. Honestly speaking, you won't be able to help, if you are with me during battle you will only be a hindrance that hinders me.”
“So, sorry. Sorry for not being able to help you.”
Although it sounds very cruel, but it is the reality. “No problem, I can do it myself anyway.” Actually it's not that, my biggest reason is not to let Iona feel the bitterness of a battle, this hand is covered in blood and I don't want to dirty her hand even though it's against monsters though. She must remain so, that innocent and selfish girl.
“Alright, but I still want to help.”
He's also stubborn. “Haaaa, yes already. But help in the back row, as a medical personnel.”
“Good.”
After that, I dropped my head on him. “Iona, wake me when it's late afternoon.”
“Ya.”
I'm glad this is over, this misunderstanding and with this maybe I hope I can move on to the next stage, a big plan.
Morning, the forest of death. Race alliance.
“Bokah, are you okay?” (Morocch)
“Yes, I've had enough rest. The information you guys wrote for me I've read.”
“Means now we can start.”
“Yes, the information is enough and now is the time. The great attack begins. Leiava extermination plan, ready to be implemented.”
