The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 112, Princess of Ender ll
Where we are now, many corpses of the soldiers I killed are scattered everywhere. There, I was having a one-on-one conversation with Keiko, wanting more information.
"He was my long-dead best friend.",
"Can you tell me more in detail?",
"About 342 years ago. I was 12 years old. I was friends with him at the Magic Academy of Ender school. I was just a school genius nerd. I can control spells both low and high at a young age. I was called a school genius. In contrast to him, he was always insulted in his school because of his always poor academic grades. I've been friends with him since I sat next to him. I used to be just a shy, genius girl. I dare not meet him. But he started talking to me:
"Hi, my name... Satshiryo Asuha's. And you must be the one called the genius of this school, right?" said.
I paused for a moment, turned my face away and then glanced at him. I answered it too.
"My name.... Amaya Keiko's... Greetings... "Sathiryos"? Are you family...royal?", the?",
"Well, you could say so anyway... But I'm out of that family.",
"Eh? Whyyyy?".
Asuha glanced at the group of women who were talking about something. I listened to them too:
"Eh.. Uh.. Look tuh.. The loser kid. How dare he sit next to the school genius. Shameless!",
"Yes. Youre right. He should have realized his position!",
"Ughs... I wish he had dropped out of this school. Why is he still here?",
"Regular. Royal family.. He took cover behind the name. Absolutely embarrassing!",
"Yes. Don't know yourself!".
I who heard them was surprised because the one sitting next to him was very opposite to me. I put out my pity face. Asuha who saw that directly spoke:
"Don't worry. I won't bother you from now until I'm expelled from school.",
"Ejected?",
"Yes. The principal here gave me another chance. If I could pass the practice exam today. I'll stay right here. But if not, I have to get out of this school alone without parents. Don't worry, I won't transmit your stupidity huh.",
"Asuha...".
His face was gloomy, looking sad and desperate. If I was in his position, I might have been depressed first. But he still stood up until now after receiving it all.",
"so yeah... Wait... Are you over 300 years old?!",
"Why?".
I was so surprised by that. I just found out that he's over 300 years old when his body. Among all, he was the oldest.
"Why?",
"Ah, no. I'm just surprised, I just found out.",
"Not to be surprised, right? I mean, come on, somebody's older than me, even a lot older than me.",
"Eh..really? Who?", who?",
"Who? WHO'S?! Don't you know?! the one who is close to you!".
I raised my left eyebrow and tilted my head. Keiko patted her eel.
"Oh... Anna's... Wait— EH?!?!? ANNA?!?!", ANNA?!?!",
"Are you unconscious?! He's over 2000 years old! Don't you know that?!",
"EEEHHHHH?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?? 2000 YEARS+?!?!?!",
"Yes!",
"W-how can...?",
"He has separated with his body and left behind his nature that only lasted about ±5000 years. If his body was damaged, just like his timed eye strength was always used, then his lifespan would be shorter than that! Luckily, Kurumi had not used the power of the eye of time for over 2000 years! Therefore, Anna was still alive until now!",
"Really...? I'm appalled.".
Keiko took a long breath. And continue the story.
"As a result when the practice exam arrived and Asuha's turn, she failed and was expelled from school. I felt sorry for him so I brought him to my house. I'm an orphan and an orphan for a reason, so I feel a little relieved. After Asuha failed and stayed at my house, I also resigned and dropped out of school to take care of Asuha. I worked there for our finances and trained Asuha to become stronger.
I continued to train Asuha even though he failed a thousand times and gave up a thousand times. My nature has changed to what it is now. Strict, seductive, and such.
Years have passed. I feel like a mother now, I work hard. But suddenly, Asuha asked that she could work as well on the grounds of helping. I can't turn it down since our finances run out slowly if we're just one guy working. I hired him in a cafe around the city of Ender, while I worked in a library. I have not very good memorization techniques, but Asuha has very good ones. That is the advantage of Asuha.
Years passed and eventually Asuha became strong. He and I decided to forge a slightly special sword. What we know today is Nakano's sword, the Excusifer.
Asuha went to the guild* and registered to become an adventurer. He adventures as his job and until he finally becomes the ruler of the Ender End universe. Unlike me who only aspires to be the guardian of the greatest library in the entire universe, the Ender Library. And here I am now.
Ever since he became the ruler of the universe, our chatter had become so short slowly, I thought it might be because he was busy. But I was wrong, it was because he started forgetting me. He fought so desperately that he forgot his own teacher and best friend. I felt lonely, so I decided to come to his palace. And when I arrived, I saw 2 babies and a black-haired man dressed in purple black with his dark blue pupils. I don't know who he is. But I should know, she's both her husband and Nakano's mysterious father.
After I found out about it, I immediately teleported back to the library. Then the next day, I came again and saw that the universe was in chaos. Just as I looked in front of me, Asuha was pushing something into the portal With the white-eyed man shining along with it. And at that very moment, Asuha was killed in front of my eyes. I was terrified and retreated to teleport back to the library. I feel guilty, I should have been more responsible!".
Keiko started to shed tears. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down, that's also what Nakano feels right now, maybe" I said,
"...".
Keiko smiled sweetly with teary eyes.
"You do look like Nakano at times" he said,
"really?",
"really.".
I smile.
"You're so, good, right?".
