The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 118, Which One Do You Choose?!? ll
I walked towards Keiko's place, but before that I went to the back of the kingdom. I threw up there and looked at my stomach. My stomach grew bigger with time, I knew that sooner or later the others would also know that I was pregnant.
I just walked to Keiko's place. When I got there, Keiko removed her hand with her body leaning to the side. His fingers were up and down like they had been waiting for me for a long time. I was amazed by him.
"What's wrong?" my tofu, my,
"Artoria. we need to talk..",
"...".
I don't know why my heart beats like fear. Like Keiko has known the secret I've been guarding all this time.
"Artoria... You keep secrets, don't you?",
"R-what secret? What do you mean...?",
"Don't lie anymore!",
"...",
"In your stomach... Is the place where the secret is not..?",
"...".
Did Keiko know my secret? Well. it seems like it is... He also had a serious face. I've been caught red-handed.
"Note... Tell me my secret." I said.
I was ready to feel guilty. I'll be blamed for sure...
"You...".
I close my eyes ready to accept defeat.
"Are you getting fat?".
The atmosphere there was immediately silent. Dehs.. I THOUGHT WHAT!!!! It turns out that this is just this... Don't scare me dong... I feel like my heart is going to fall out!
Keiko immediately put on a triumphant face.
"Heh.. Am I right?" ask Keiko, please,
"Y-Yes.. Why do you know?",
"Easy.your stomach is enlarged over time. It must be because it has no more soldiers to train other than Liyu.".
I take a short breath.
"Well...",
"really right? Just relax, I'll keep this a secret for you" he said confidently.
Yes already. I feel relieved because he still doesn't know the truth.
"Yes yes. I get it, promise me you'll keep this secret for me.",
"Yes. I'll take care of him, after all. We're friends aren't we? Or... more than "friends"? Fufu.", u...",
"It's up to you to assume what I am.".
Well I guess our relationship is more than "Friends". Keiko smiled happily and I smiled with relief. I'm relieved that Keiko still doesn't know the truth even though she'll know in the near future.
"So why did you come here?" ask Keiko, please,
"Well, the story's pretty long.".
We had a warm chat there while waiting for an answer from Kurumi.
After about 15 minutes of chatting with Keiko, someone finally entered the tent and it was Kurumi with Sei. Kurumi with a look of confidence came forward approaching the two of us who were in front of her. I immediately let out a cynical look at him.
When he was in front of us. I asked him while closing my eyes:
"So, have you decided on your answer?" my tofu, my,
"Yes... I decided to keep living.".
I looked at him with a cynical look then smiled cynically.
"alright. Keiko, do the ritual." I said,
"Alright" Keiko replied with a cheap smile on her face.
All of us who were inside out of the tent went to the back of the palace so that no one would know what we were doing. There, I stood side by side with Sei watching from a distance. While Kurumi was in front of a not far from Keiko who was standing in front of her.
".... Ready it!" the answer.
Me and Sei saw the ritual from a distance. There, Sei asked me:
"Will this go well? I feel a bad feeling...",
"Hmm? What hunch?",
"Either... I just feel it.", though..",
"so yeah. Hehe just relax. I'm sure it's gonna go well.".
Keiko took a breath and then said a spell.
"O lord of time, find this man the way of the truth of time. Take him on your path and give him the answers to all his questions! Gyriste piso to roloni!".
Instantly above Kurumi there is a picture of a clock with on it again there is a spell with a serrated motif and on it again, again, and again into 5 layers. Under Kurumi there is a picture of the clock as well with its screen and on the periphery is equally jagged.
Kurumi floated between those red-colored spells. The spell that was under Kurumi's feet went up following Kurumi. Kurumi closed her eyes and her body was limp as if she had fainted between the red spells. I also suddenly felt a bad feeling about this.
Kurumi opened her eyes suddenly, she held her neck like someone was strangling her. Then blood came out of his mouth. He was writhing in pain there. Keiko who realized that instantly canceled the spell and Kurumi got off safely.
Me and Sei immediately ran up to the two of them.
"KURUYO!",
"KURUYA!".
He was panting in pain. His eyes withered like a dead fish and now he's at the tip of his life... Is this our doing?
"Kurumi! You okay?" ask Sei,
"....".
He didn't answer. He gasps. I could feel his body slowly disappearing. His eyes withered like a dead fish, his breathing was so short and slow that I could barely even feel it. The body was cold as it began to disappear. Then there was something like a flying firefly heading upwards. Kurumi slowly disappeared. Kurumi smiled and her mouth moved like saying something but we couldn't hear it. And from his movements I could tell what he was saying,
"Thank you for trying to save me... Arthurian...".
Suddenly we heard a teleportation behind me. Nakano! Does he want to fight me? At times like this?!
He walked up to us all. Then they kicked the three of us out by force. Kurumi's mouth moved again and I found out, more precisely what she was trying to say,
"Nakano's... Thanks for everything... Good bye everyone...".
I felt guilty at that moment. But Kurumi approached her face with Kurumi and immediately kissed her lips. Kurumi was surprised but immediately closed her eyes. He seemed to have withdrawn from his life.
But something happened when Nakano kissed him. Kurumi's body thickened again as if it had not disappeared. It was an incredible miracle, Kurumi was alive again! But.. doesn't that mean Nakano is missing..? Oh. please no!
After they finished kissing. Kurumi looked towards Nakano.
"Why..?" ask Kurumi, please,
"... I'm not gonna let a hurt man die with pain still running through..".
Wait... there's something strange..why doesn't Nakano disappear..? Is this... Another way to unite the roots?!
Nakano and Kurumi stood up. Nakano flipped his body looking at me.
"Naka—".
Before I finished my words, Nakano teleported near me and immediately hugged me.
"Apardon artoria! I almost left my duty! I almost avoided the responsibility I had to bear!",
"Eh. ah.. No.", no...",
"Sorry!.. I promise I'll be responsible. I'll take good care of our son.".
The atmosphere there was immediately silent.
"Eh?", though?",
"Eh?", though?",
"Eh?", though?",
"EEEEEEEHHHHHHH?!?!!!?".
Is this... a happy ending? A very strange ending... That's so! This is the end of Arc Machinery! The MC title was returned to the real MC, Nakano!
