The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 121, Tohka
Me and my friends were in front of the Royal Machinery gate with Kurumi and the Obounara family in front of us.
"Take care of yourself when you are adventuring. I know trouble will always come to you wherever you are" said Aunt Yo,
"All right." I said,
"Take a look at your father's headset, son. It's his junkyard and his only memory for you" said Uncle Inara.
I answered him with a nod and a smile. Uncle Inara smiled cynically.
I walked up to Kurumi and put my hand on her head and her unique bando.
"I'm sorry I can't keep you company." I said in a guilty tone,
"It's okay. This whole thing is also my fault and I have to fix it.", after all.",
"I'll be here soon when our business with Tohka is over to pick you up.",
"Well, I'll wait for your arrival.".
I smiled and looked towards Uncle Inara.
"Uncle, I leave Kurumi to you." I said,
"alright. Care about the wife.".
I answered him smiling, then looked towards Sumiko and said:
"And you are also Sumiko." I said.
He was a little surprised because his name was called and then smiled cynically in response to my words,
"alright. That's what friends are for, isn't it? She's one of your wives and take care of your other wives and don't forget them" she said,
"Dee... What are you talking about? I won't forget them any way.",
"hoh... Haha.I'm just kidding. I know you're the loyal kind of guy, right?".
Sumiko then looked towards Artoria while smiling cynically.
"Take your son, Madame.".
Artoria was surprised for a moment and answered him,
"What do you mean by "Crazy Miss"?".
They all laughed except for me, Anna, and Kurumi who replaced him with smiles.
I looked towards Liyu and spoke after her laughter subsided.
"Liyu further develop your abilities because I know you will become someone with great strength in the future.",
"Well, not as strong as big brother but fine!".
After that, I left and was ready to go to our next destination.
"Then, see you Uncle, Aunt, Sumiko, and Liyu, and Kurumi again. I'm sure we'll see each other again in a short time.",
"Dah~!",
"See you later!".
Said they all together while waving their hands.
I immediately teleported to the White Pion Palace to escort Anna. He walked away from the horde while talking,
"You don't have to drive me when. What about the limit of use?" tanyakene,
"It's okay. I can use it approximately 15-20 times for individual and 1-5 times for group.",
"That's a little you know! You can normally do it up to 300 more for individuals and 50-100 times for groups!",
"Well, you know for yourself that ability needs a very long refill.",
"I know that's why I'm worried about Naka-stupid!".
He walked in front of me and immediately kissed me. I was surprised to not be able to notice the air of his existence just now as his speed of movement had exceeded the speed of sound. He let go of me and walked backwards. His face was happy and flushed a little on his cheek. At that moment my friends behind me also let out angry and jealous faces.
"Then take good care of yourself, Nakano~" he said with a happy, sweet smile,
"Alright, I understand." I said with a smile.
Me and my friends teleported to the front of the Ender End palace. The shape is still the same as the old one, reminding me of the first time I saw this palace. It is shaped like a purple cactus as a pillar and white as a wall.
"Nakano.. before you go in. I want to say something." said Keiko.
My friends and I were amazed. Keiko moved her lips, speaking:
"Your brother is gone." said Keiko.
My friends were surprised by that. But me? What expression am I pointing at... now..? in front of my friends? I can't even feel what my face looks like right now.
"Nakano's... Are you okay...?" ask Sei,
"Yes. I'm fine.".
I said then turned from him and faced towards the entrance. My friends look at me with pity.
I am sad but I know I have grown stronger both mentally and physically. I'm not a whiny kid anymore!
"Don't worry. I'm fine, if it's true that my brother is dead, I can only leave this universe to one person." I said, saying,
"....".
Nobody talks there. Everyone let me do whatever I wanted.
"Then, come on!" I said.
I pushed into the palace and found many corpses scattered everywhere. Be it the soldiers or the palace servants were all there without any residue and also many blood spots stuck to the wall and flowed on the floor. This can already be called a massacre.
"What... what happened...?" ask Artoria,
"The only one who is losing control" I replied.
I then walked past all the corpses and blood towards the top floor.
When I arrived, I found Tohka holding a head dripping with blood.
He looked at me and I found something. His dead fish-like eyes looked at me with his face full of bloodstains all over his face.
"Tohka... You made all this right?" my many.
He turned his face the other way.
"What do you want?" ask Tohka in a small tone,
".... Tohkas. Come back." I said as I extended my hand.
One more hand that held the katana sword immediately erupted.
"WHISPER!" His shouting.
Tohka then advanced on me and attacked me with her katana. I dodged it and the katana stuck it on the floor.
"Why? Is it because my brother and your best friend.... are not?" I said try to calm down.
He fell silent, pulled out his sword and threw the head of the person he killed and held.
"Whispering..! It's noisy! IT'S NOISY!!!" said.
He's coming in front of me. I did not avoid even taking his attack. His sword was pierced right into my stomach. I vomited blood and it hurt. What the hell am I thinking?
But that's why I can do what I want. I hugged Tohka and her hands were off her katana.
"Curtain!".
He held his katana back and stabbed me deeper.
"RETURN!" My yelling.
He pulled his katana from me and stabbed me in my ribs. He's trying to get out of my arms.
"Back off! I know you're still there! TOHKA!".
He was surprised by what I said. He paused for a while and continued to stab my ribs.
"GET OFF!" Shouts, heckles,
"NO! UNTIL YOU GET BACK, I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO!",
"Sad... You...!".
It hurt and my consciousness began to fade on its own.
"Tohka.. sorry about what happened at Machinery....",
"....",
"... You didn't listen to me...? That's cruel, you know...",
"Heh.. who cares..Are you ready for me?!",
".... I don't know.. You're ready for me...? I suddenly met you and took you on a trip with me... You admit yourself that you are my fiancee..".
He was shocked and the stab stopped. It's working?
"Even I didn't ask you to do it, you said yourself that you were my future wife... It's weird, isn't it..? Relationships are usually difficult to build, but we can build them in a short time...",
"....",
"I always wondered.. Is what I did right? Is this path I'm taking right? Is everything I've done right?",
"....",
"I asked you once, didn't I? If it's not wrong... about this relationship? You answer it like someone brave but in fact alone.you feel ashamed to say such a thing.",
"...",
"Hehehe....",
"What are you laughing at, right?",
"No. Just an incident where you almost did it with me... Youknow? ****. We almost did it but because of Mashiro we failed to do it. And now that snatched mine is Artoria.",
"Is it... is it true...?",
"Yes... Are you surprised?",
"Mhm.." he answered with a nod, nodding,
"I'm not surprised, either. I didn't think the first person to do that with me was Artoria, when I thought it was either you or Anna.",
"....",
"How's it?",
"How's what?",
"Your feelings?",
"... What are you talking about?",
"I know you're doing all this because.... My brother who's gone...?".
His hands were squeezing my clothes tightly. I smiled. He was almost back.
"... I also actually feel sad, but. I cover it so that others do not worry about me continuously...",
"....".
She started to shed tears, started to cry.
"Crying is all you are. I know you're strong but you're still a woman, it's natural to cry when something bad happens.".
He started crying loudly in my arms.
"NAKANO... PARDON ME! EXCUSE ME!... HISK... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO... HISK... AND WHEN I REALIZED... I'VE KILLED EVERYTHING THAT'S HERE...",
"Well, cry as much as you.".
She was crying but I let her. Sometimes strong people need to cry whether they are male or female.
