The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 84, The First Problem
I reached out my hand to the child who challenged me, Liyu, and tried to help her stand up.
"Let's stand up." I said as I reached out.
The boy accepted my help and held my hand. I pulled him up before speaking.
"Even if you're young, you have power that is arguably great." I said,
"...",
"If you can control your emotions, I'm sure you can inherit this Universe" I said,
"Thank you...".
I let go of his hand and took one step to the side and whispered while I had the chance.
"Make him calm in nature there. I'm sure he must have hoped for you a lot." I whispered,
"Eh...?".
I then walked over to where my friends were and Aunt Yo.
"Let's continue the journey." I said,
"Then, let's go inside." said aunt Yo, taking us all in,
"Good!" we simultaneously.
As we walked in, Sei looked towards the back where Liyu was. She saw Liyu was bowing her body and crying for something. Sei looked at me and asked me while whispering.
"Nakano.." call him in a whisper,
"Hmm...?",
"Must, what did you whisper to Liyu..?",
"Something. Something not so important..".
Sei once again looked towards the crying Liyu then looked towards me again.
"You lied. Must be something important. There is no way a child like Liyu would cry easily just because of defeat." whispered Sei,
"really? hengs.. It has nothing to do with us." I said,
"Eh... If Nakano says that I'll believe it.",
"Better so. Because it's only related to him.".
We walked into the palace. Suddenly I heard the voice of a female voice coming to greet Aunt Yo.
"Mother welcome." said the woman's voice.
My attention from the contents of the medieval-modeled room was distracted by the sound. I looked at the direction the voice was coming from and I saw a woman dressed as an adventurer in a long skirt. The woman welcomed her mother's arrival.
"Yes. Thank you for welcoming me, Sumiko." replied the aunt.
Sumiko yes. I thought the names of the royal people were more difficult.
The woman named Sumiko looked at me. Unlike Liyu, she did not react to anything when she met me. He looked towards the aunt and asked:
"Mother, where's Liyu?" tanyakene,
"He's out there.",
"Why didn't he come?",
"What do you mean?",
"There is a trash that should have been thrown out by him.".
Trashy? Her face is pretty but I don't think her mouth is sharper than she looks.
"Sumiko stop that!" aunt Yo said as she frowned,
"Can be like that. On what basis would he dare to step on the floor in this kingdom?" said Sumiko,
"You! Your father could be angry!",
"Isn't this rule set by my own father?".
Uncle Inara who set this ridiculous rule?! I can hardly believe it when he's such a good guy, no I still don't believe it anyway.. But why did Uncle do this? There must be something behind it.
"SUMIKO STOP THAT!!!" Shouted someone from above the right floor near us all.
This voice, I seem to know. I turned my face up and saw the figure I knew clearly. Uncle Inara!
"But.. Daddy!" shouted Sumiko.
Uncle Inara walked up to the stairs below but was stopped by a serration. Suddenly formed several serrations under the uncle every time he stepped. Is this his power? Controlling... serration?
He walked under a serration that drove him down near us straight away.
"Welcome, Sakamaki... Nakano...?",
"Yes. Thas right. Nakano Sakamaki.".
Sumiko was immediately stunned in surprise.
Sumiko immediately looked at me with a cynical look full of questions and disbelief. His body was trembling in fear.
"HAHAHA... It's been a long time since we last met. Looks like you're getting stronger huh" said Inara's uncle,
"Yes. I have traveled a lot." I replied confidently,
"HAHAHAHA.... Yes, yes too. You want to become the ruler of the Milky Way Universe right?!",
"Yes. That's right.",
"Hehehe... May your dreams come true, son. You are the son of the Sakamaki family. For the Sakamaki family, nothing is impossible." —Sambil smiled, he said,
"Thank you very much Uncle!",
"HAHAHAHA... You know manners compared to your father?!",
"...".
I didn't know what to respond to those words, considering that the first person I was precious to had disappeared from before me.
"I am so sorry for what happened to your father. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to you.",
"Thank you.".
Uncle saw my eyes that still do not accept this reality. He put his right hand on my left shoulder.
"You're getting stronger. You are even more similar to him. Relieve the boy. If you don't give it up, you won't be able to move forward.",
"good. I'll try my best. Thanks again, uncle Inara!",
"It's okay! Even if you are just his adopted son but act more confident. After all, the teaching your father taught you was your path to a good future. Therefore believe in yourself, if you are not confident, Sakamaki is not the name.".
I who lowered my head, raised my head firmly and a gaze filled with valour and confidence. I answered Uncle Inara with a confident smile.
"READY!".
(His eyes. Is correct. This is the path you must take with your friends. You've changed a lot, boy.).
Sumiko who was furious did not accept my existence began to get angry.
"HE'S JUST A FOSTER BOY!",
"Eh..?" muttered,
"HE'S JUST THE SAKAMAKI FAMILY'S ADOPTED SON! WHY SHOULD HE BE ARROGANT?!",
"I CAN'T ACCEPT HIS EXISTENCE IN THIS UNIVERSE! If he is just a foster child, then he should lift his foot from here!".
I started to look in the wrong direction again. But Artoria began to grow angry, unable to hold back her emotions anymore. He moved quickly raising his sword and dashed to the back of Sumiko quickly then placed his sword blade right in front of her neck.
"YOU'RE QUIET!" Artoria said with a creepy tone.
Sumiko was a little scared. His neck started to come into contact with his sword blade. Sumiko was bluffing her teeth.
"I'll never forgive anyone.. who... demeans NAKANO!" said Artoria,
"You're fuckin..!" said Sumiko,
"Was. I need to say it again with my sword..?" ask Artoria,
"Ck!" sumiko muttered.
Sumiko could do nothing. If he moves his neck just a little bit he will die at that moment. I stopped Artoria too.
"STOP IT ARTORIA!" My yelling.
Artoria heard it was directly against me.
"But he..!".
Just before Artoria finished her sentence, I was against it.
"Stop that! Now too!" I said in a serious tone.
Artoria who heard that instantly distanced her sword blade from Sumiko's neck then placed it back in her sword pocket.
"Let's just say you're lucky today, *******!" artoria whispered in a threatening tone.
He then retreated back a few steps. Sumiko looked towards me filled with hatred.
"You..!".
"sorry. Nakano's son about my son" said Uncle Inara,
"It's okay uncle.".
I walked up to Sumiko who fell sitting on the floor. I took out my sword from the belt I made myself and pointed it at Sumiko's neck while speaking in a threatening tone:
"I know I'm just a foster kid... But is it because only my adopted son cannot come here? Heh, don't take me lightly, miss. Even if you forbid me to come here over this Law of the Universe*, I will still come here against it. No one can stop me from my own journey, even though it is the maker of my own destiny.".
Sumiko was immediately surprised by that. He thought that I was just joking, but when he saw my eyes were full of seriousness. If the Universe forbids me even though I'm still coming. Nothing can stop me from traveling on my own.
