The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 42's

"Of course you two, my Queen. Who else is it?" Said Liya touching her chin again. "Did I interrupt your itinerary, my Queen?" Continue to tilt the head.

"Are you going on this trip, Liya?" Ask Erika curiously.

"Of course, my Queen. The Asteria God himself told me to watch over you two... Uh?" Said Liya who was hugged suddenly by Erika.

"Aahs... Thank goodness²! I thought I'd be stuck alone with the aerach, thank God you allowed Liya to accompany me." Erika was relieved.

'was he going crazy, not angry about being slammed earlier? He even thanked me!' zyden thought a little distracted.

"Hey, who wants to travel with you. Don't be so confident, do you think you'll come with me?" Zyden.

Erika and Liya heard that and immediately glanced at him. "Look good, aerach! I'll never go on an adventure with you." Erika let go of her embrace.

"I did this because of the orders from father, and also the magic that father paired us both with!"

"So, don't think too much of this just because you or I volunteered to do it! Youunderstand?" Erika.

"Magic?" Zyden muttered looking at his hand, and his eyes flashed a fiery red dot.

After Zyden took a good look at her hand, he looked at Erika and looked back again at her hand.

"Suckers! What the fuck? A... What, what are they doing to my body?" Zyden said in shock. "...And what the fuck with this cursed magic, how could they tie me to him!" Zyden looked at Erika.

"Don't act like you're the victim here, aerach. I am the most harmed. Being in this body makes me frustrated, plus always being close to people who are not interested in me at all. I could go crazy later." Erika Exclamations.

"Just say! You are indeed ja-lang, is that how you want to be seen by people?" Zyden said.

"If it disgusts me, it's probably better than being seen by an aerach who doesn't even like the opposite sex." Erika raised her voice.

"Stop calling me aerach, you ja-lang." Zyden.

"Be more normal, basic aerach." Answer Erika.

And the two of them started their debate which made Liya shake her head.

'haah.., this will be a troublesome task.' Thought Liya saw the two of them. "I'm sorry my Queen, my Lord. But.. isn't this relationship mutually beneficial for both of you?" Said Liya which made them stop arguing and looked at her.

"My lord! I know you have a duty to defeat the demon lord as well as his army right?" Liya exclaimed like a reliable servant.

"Because you know that you are not only fighting the Demon king but his army as well. You plan on finding strong people who can help you!"

"... Some people will probably listen more to beautiful women than handsome men, right?" Followed Erika with her sweet smile.

Zyden thought about it, while Erika. He was a little surprised by what Liya had said earlier.

"Then to my Queen! You want to travel and meet a lot of people, right?" Said Liya looking at Erika.

"As long as we look for people who can help him, my Queen can also go to different places and meet many people who will help us to defeat the demon lord."

"Because I think the people we need are not few. So, we will definitely go to different places, at least around one or two continents."

"...This is my queen's only chance to go on an adventure because the Asterian god has already approved of her, and it's not just an adventure in one place, but many different places."

"It's an adventure that matches my Queen's wishes, and this is one of the beginnings for my Master's plan." Liya explained at length. "So please cooperate for each other's benefit."

'and have fun at your matchmaking events' Liya grinned inwardly.

"Hmm.., Liya?" Erika asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Queen?" Liya Sahut.

"Where can you talk like that?" Erika said curiously.

"I'm sorry?" Liya was confused. "Ah.., I'm sorry my Queen. I should have said this before! It was the Asteria God who informed me when I was ordered to watch over the two of you." Liya.

"Dad told you?" Erika Exclamations.

"Yes, Queen!" Answer Liya.

"alright... Thanks for reminding me, Liya." Erika said then she saw Zyden.

"Aerach, inevitably I have to have an adventure with you in order to see the world. I will also make you defeat the Demon King."

"Then treat me well and don't be too annoying! Youunderstand?" Erika gave the order.

" ... " Zyden just silently responded to her, he was done thinking of something. "I want to ask you guys something first." Zyden exuded a red dot in his eyes which made Erika and Liya slightly stunned to see him.

"Did you guys know something when I passed out?" Continue Zyden flat.
