The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 4, I'm the Monster and First Travel Friend.
"What?! Tohka kidnapped?!" shouted my brother, Miyaniku Maname
"Yes, and also the kidnapper left a letter in his room!" said one of the guards in the palace
"Let me see the letter!" My brother's orders
[We kidnapped one of your friends. If you want your friend back, hand over the Excusifer sword to us then we will return this child to you! Come towards the North and you will see a house left there.]
"Oh no, how is this? do we have to give up the sword?!" my brother said with his agitation,
"I'm going there" I said
"But it's dangerous Manabe!" said My brother
"Don't worry I have a plan that I can execute myself, and also don't call me Manabe anymore. Call me Nakano." I said
"Well if you insist. But promise me you'll have to go home with Tohka safely! Understood!?"
"All right, I promise."
"If you don't come back, I'll never forgive you!"
"All right."
I also went with the Excusifer sword to the North. I was given a compass to lead me to my destination.
After a few minutes, I reached my destination. It was far from the palace. I feel a bad feeling about this. This abandoned building stood alone in the middle of this white stone desert.
"This is the Excusifer sword!" I shouted out loud.
I went in, in the dark I could see nothing. But, I felt the presence of living beings in the building. A total of 7 people, one of them is Tohka. Soon after, the lights in the room lit up.
"Welcome! And now hand over the sword to this virgin woman, otherwise she will die!" said the man,
"This is his sword." I said as I handed the Excusifer sword to him.
He took it too.
I remember the word of the book my father gave me that if the Excusifer sword had found its owner, it would have, then the owner can teleport according to his will and the sword will also teleport to its owner if the owner asks the sword to teleport into his hand.
"Now leave that woman to me!" I said firmly. The kidnapper laughed.
"You foolish palace dwellers, where might I hand them over!" he said he underestimated me. L,
"I thought that was what you were going to say." I said. I teleported over that guy's head.
"Eh..". I kicked his head and took the Excusifer out of his grasp.
The men quickly acted with their swords and daggers, but all of this was according to plan. I slashed them again, again, and again. At the same time, I get the same picture as I dreamt. And by the time I realized, there was only one more slave left, and the other one was already killed.
I realized that I was becoming the same as before, killing and when I heard it, I felt familiar with his words and the question came up again, Who exactly am I? A monster? A devil? Or... killer?. The same question came up a second time. And his last slave was gone, I felt a little relieved with nothingness. Why do I always lose control? Who am I? why did I kill?
After that, I saw a figure that rose again. It turns out that it's the mastermind of this problem. He uses magic to move to the side of Tohka who is being tied up in a chair and his mouth in full filled with a large rope. "MCR! MPH!!" —Tohka tries to talk.
I felt something was not right, the desire to kill and I lost control with 2 seconds. When I realized, the thief had died, there was a huge stab of the Excusifer sword in his stomach and it was pierced out. What have I done?
When I looked at his face, I realized that the expression he was putting out was the same as the child from my school. I am a monster. And at that moment I came to the conclusion that the person I saw in my dream had something to do with my eyes.
I wish I could erase the memory I just saw Tohka. I asked her.
"Tohka, will you tell me what you saw just now?",
(Did this kid remember nothing?) thought Tohka at the time,
"I looked at the figure of the man with a sharp gaze, and as the moon shone on the back of his face turned into that of a demon." Tohka, obviously,
"Is that so?" my many. Tohka nodded her head. I bow my head and feel guilty.
"I'd guess... I'm a monster" I said,
"Tung-" —Henti Tohka. I slashed the rope that tied Tohka and walked out of the building.
(What's the matter exactly? what is Nakano monster? Why is the universe so cruel to the man who saved me?) think Tohka.
"Let's go.." said Tohka,
"Eh?" I said,
"Let's go, find out the real you!" Tohka said with her serious eyes,
"Do you want to travel with a monst-",
"YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER!!" Shouted Tohka —interrupted the sentence I wanted to say.
"You're not a monster." Tohka said in tears.
"I'll prove it... If you're not a monster!!"
"Thank you, Tohka. You don't have to worry about me"
"WHERE IS IT POSSIBLE?! Where's... Maybe I can't worry about you, YOU IDIOT!!"
"Then." I said.
"Eh?"
"Do you want to travel with me?",
"Ah.. I'm not forcing you to do it, you can refuse-" I said
Tohka cried, hugged me quickly and answered my offer.
"Yes... Yep.. I want to travel with you!",
"I'll promise, convince people that you're not a monster or a demon, I'll convince them that you're human." Tohka thought.
And after that Tohka became my traveling companion and also my first love?
