The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 96, Born Different
Me and the others are preparing for war. I have told others when this Fire demon will strike on February 20, 142, the Year of the Sun. Today, February 18, 142 years the Sun. We prepare by training even harder. The extinguishing groups like Shiro, Sistine, and Sanae practiced in their own ways while me, Liyu, and my friends practiced with each other. Liyu trained with me and the two of us used martial arts with each other.
Just then, I kicked Liyu until he was pushed back.*crush*.
"Ckhah!! Huh... Huh... Hah.." the voice of Liyu gasped for fatigue.
I walked slowly near Liyu who was lying on the ground like she could not stand up. I bowed my body and looked down.
"Feary already? Do you want to end it?" my tofu, my,
"No!! Huh. huh... I want some more! Once again!".
Liyu tried to stand up forcefully.
"Ckiiya-hh!" her voice.
He tried to stand up but failed because his body was no longer able.
"Rest 5 minutes, I'll meet you again to fight. Fill your energy with water, at a minimum." I said,
"Well... Huh..huh....".
Liyu was panting while lying on the ground unable to stand up. I then went to another place leaving Liyu alone.
As I turned to look at the situation, Artoria ran towards me.
"Nika!" call him.
He stopped in front of me and stood up normally.
"What's wrong?" My tofu,
"nothing. How is Liyu training?" ask her back, though,
"Well, he still can't beat me.".
So here's the story...
5 Hours ago....
At that time, in a remote place where there was no one, Liyu bowed her body and begged me to be trained by me.
"Please, train me!" said Liyu,
"Well... I don't mind but the training will be a little heavy for you, okay?",
"Not what!",
"You don't even think long, do you? I'm afraid this is too hard.",
"PLEASE! EVEN IF IT IS JUST ONE PLEASE!!!".
He's really stubborn.
"I don't mind anyway... But my kingdom is a lot...why not ask to be trained by Artoria?",
"Sister Artoria..? He uses a sword whereas I want to fight someone martial arts both!".
I sighed, there seemed to be no other way to avoid it.
"Well, then...",
"Terramasi—".
Just before Liyu finished her sentence, I started talking again.
"But.", though....",
".....But..?", though...?",
"But this training won't be finished until you force me to unleash my teleportation power. Hows it? If you manage to force me to unleash that power, the training is over and you pass. Hows it? Still want?".
(It won't be easy... Brother Nakano has physical strength equivalent to uncle Izayoi. It means that when I fight him, I will feel against Uncle Izayoi!).
Liyu smiled whether it was cynical or happy.
(Why not be afraid... I became excited to fight it! I want to fight him as soon as possible!!).
"ALRIGHT!!!" he said with passion.
That's story... Even though we fought for 5 hours, I did not hold myself back so that he could feel the same strength as his uncle, my father. As a result, he did not make me forced to teleport for 5 hours like we were just playing around.
I looked at Artoria and asked her something. I wanted to, but somehow I felt awkward talking to her. My cheeks are flushing themselves. I glanced into Artoria's eyes. He looked at me then glanced the other way trying to avoid eye contact. His cheeks immediately flushed by itself. The atmosphere was suddenly awkward. To melt the atmosphere, Artoria reasoned to go somewhere else.
"I-I have to go, See you!" he said,
"ah! Tu—".
I wanted to stop him but he had already disappeared from his sight quickly. The relationship between us may be deteriorating... Our awkwardness is the cause. If this continues to happen, not only will our relationship become more strained, we will also be able to hinder teamwork. It's bad for my trip... I had to eliminate the awkwardness between us, but how..?
On the other hand, Artoria stopped running after meeting me. Body shaking. He immediately squatted down and covered his blushing face.
(HA-OUT ALREADY!!! After our relationship, instead of getting closer as a fiance even more tenuous. If only I hadn't asked him to do that it wouldn't have ended this way between us.. Should I give up? Nah! I can't give up yet! I have to re-establish our relationship and the limit is February 20. Yosh! As long as there is opportunity, there is hope!)
Back, where I was. I walked towards a big tent. I went into the tent and saw Sumiko being tied to a chair by Tohka.
"Just shut up, OK?!" said Tohka,
I previously assigned Tohka and Keiko to keep Sumiko from going anywhere because I knew if this woman was left she would act as she pleased and it could be dangerous.
"MYMM!!!!!",
"Curtain! IT'S NOISY!!! I'LL SPLIT YOUR STOMACH IF YOU CAN'T STAY STILL!!!" Shouts Tohka,
"Gee... You are sadistic Tohka but I agree... If you don't shut up, we'll make you regret it." said Keiko.
"HMHHNHHHMMMNNNMM!!!!!".
But somehow now it looked more like torture against the princess than looking after Sumiko. Splitting the stomach? I didn't think Tohka would say something disgusting like that.
"Ehem.." I said.
All the voices there disappeared and all the gazes were headed towards me.
"Both of you!" I said firmly.
Tohka and Keiko stood up straight ready and answered me.
"Ready!".
Why look like an army?
"The two of you are... What did you do to Sumiko?!",
"We're just keeping it as ordered. But he can't keep quiet so it irritates us.".
I immediately held onto my eel as slowly as my head was in pain.
"You guys... Never mind... After all your duty is now to watch around, help Sei to find information about the city and its situation and Keiko you should prepare your stamina a lot, this war may not end with just one day." I ordered, I,
"Ready!",
"Ready!" answer them and then leave.
I went to walk up to Sumiko and took off the duct tape slowly.
"I'm sorry for them. I didn't tell them to do this." I said.
I walked to the back of the chair and removed the rope that bound Sumiko.
"What the fuck are they?! Is that their attitude towards the princess?!".
While hearing Sumiko complain I apologized to her.
"Pardon them. They never get tangled in something like guarding. They've faced something more terrifying than a death sentence. I'll ask them to take a more respectful attitude.".
Sumiko held her head dizzy with what happened. Holding his head, he spoke.
"Forget over. Nakano! Invite me to join the Battle Medang!",
"Sorry it can't.",
"Why?! Is it because I am the target?!",
"That's one of them but the other one is that you still can't control your strength very well.",
"W-how did you know?!",
"I read the title of the book you were carrying when you got hit. You carry a lot of basic, intermediate, to high-level magic mastery manuals.",
"....".
Sumiko lowered her head in feeling that she was nothing but a princess who could not control her strength. He feels useless.
"Hey, Sumiko, I wanted to ask you this from the beginning. What's with your power? It doesn't seem like the usual power of the others.",
"...",
"....If you don't want to answer that it's okay.. Forgetit..".
I tidied up the rope and placed it at the end of the corner of the tent.
"I was born, born with different powers. Not because of the power of his guerrilla, but because of the different ways my power works. Normally every strength has the same performance every element, combined elements are like that too. I am the combined element of light and earth. I had to learn with their performance but I failed. For some reason, it feels different from the combined magic of light and other lands. That's why I read a lot of guidebooks..",
"....",
"Hey Nakano's... I want to ask you this.. Is the performance of my strength different from others because of the act of time?" tanyakene,
"Maybe... If you want to ask that question, you ask the wrong person. I grew up with physical strength as my basis. So it inhibits my magic cell growth. And until now I couldn't cast high-level magic even though I had already entered the criteria. Because I don't have enough mana to get him out of here.",
"...",
"If you want to ask if the eyes of time are holding you back, you should ask the right person, not me but Keiko.".
