The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 97, Advice and Power
Sumiko ran looking for someone named Keiko. Because it was my advice, he followed it. He looked for Keiko everywhere but he could not find her. He ran looking to the right and to the left not looking straight ahead. He hit someone hard.
*Gubrak*Sumiko's voice dropped. He held his head in pain for a moment.
"Admisleading...".
He opened his eyes and apologized to the person he hit.
"I-I'm sorry!" said the regretful Sumiko.
He saw a long blonde woman who had always been near me before. He is Artoria.
"Sorry! I'm in a hurry.".
Sumiko stood up and stretched out her hand intending to help Artoria stand up.
"Are you okay?" ask Sumiko.
Artoria received Sumiko's helping hand and stood up.
"I'm doing fine. What about you? You seem to get hit pretty hard.",
"I'm doing fine.".
Sumiko carried away the atmosphere until she forgot her goal, but she recalled it after a few seconds.
"Ah, Sorry! I have to go! I'm looking for a guy named Keiko? Do you know him?",
"I know him. She was my friend and one of Nakano's fiancees. What's up?",
""One of the"? That is to say... Nakano has more than that?", though?",
"Yes. There's a lot you don't know about Nakano. I'm also one of her fiancees.",
"Eh?".
Artoria looked into the look in Sumiko's shocked eyes. He found out that he had a lot of questions for her.
"I know you have a lot of questions but keep them. You want to find Keiko, right? So he was ahead" said Artoria, pointing to the tent behind her,
"ah! Thanks very much!".
Sumiko ran towards the direction that Artoria pointed at. But Artoria stopped him by holding his hand quickly.
"Wait!",
"Eh?", though?",
"I have a problem with my relationship with Nakano... It. anu.... You.. look really close to Nakano. and I want that kind of relationship...",
"Eh?", though?",
"...".
Artoria was speechless because she was so embarrassed to ask someone.
"HEEEEEEHHH?!",
"Tu-wait. You guys are fiancees, you should have a close relationship!!!",
"..There's a little problem with our relationship, so... That's.", that....",
""that"?",
"I WANT TO ASK FOR YOUR ADVICE BECAUSE YOU LOOK CLOSE TO HIM!!!!",
"Tu-Tu. WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT FRIENDS!!!",
"I know it! You have nothing to do but friendship! But you guys have been together lately and that's why I wanted to ask you for advice!",
"A—?!".
Sumiko held her head as if her head hurt.
"Is there nothing else you can ask for advice for?" ask Sumiko, please,
"none. If Nakano's fiancees knew my problem then they would be angry with Nakano and that would make it difficult for him. I don't want to cause any trouble for Nakano.".
Sumiko let out a long sigh and found out the root of the problem.
"So, what makes you in a difficult relationship?",
"Do I have to answer? That's so embarrassing!",
"You must! We have to find the root of your problem and only you know.",
"It's a shame so I'll whisper it to you.".
Artoria walked up to Sumiko and whispered in her left ear.
"****." whispered Artoria briefly.
Sumiko stunned. He was so shocked that he could not speak.
"uh?.... HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH?!!?!?!".
Of course Sumiko was too surprised because she didn't think I would do that.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!?! YOU GUYS ARE STILL FIANCEES, RIGHT?! YOU'RE NOT KIDDING, ARE YOU?!?!!!".
Artoria took a step away and answered Sumiko's question.
"Yes, I'm serious" he said.
Sumiko patted her head hard. *father!*.
"You're still fiancee but you've been brave so far? So, are you pregnant or not?",
"N-no....",
"Then it's good. At least it won't upset Nakano's other fiancee.",
"Then, what should I do next?" asked Artoria worriedly,
"Hmmm.....".
Sumiko's right hand held her chin while thinking hard about finding a way out of Artoria and me.
"Huh?! Nah! That's impossible isn't it?!",
"Then I won't help you anymore.",
"Did?!"
Artoria instantly relaxed her body feeling desperate. Sumiko felt both annoyed and pitying with him.
"Argh! Fuck up! Look, I'm not a good advice giver. I've never given any advice before and that's all that comes to my head. If you really love Nakano as your fiance, then prove it!",
"How's it?",
"Find your own way. Your way of dealing with problems yourself. Nakano would have wanted that. Hear that! You are not a person with the easy-to-get-up type, are you?! You are a stubborn person, right?! Then do whatever it takes to strengthen your relationship with Nakano!".
Artoria is starting to gain her confidence again.
(Really too! I am not a person who gives up easily! I have to find my own way! But how? Nah! Whatever the case may be, there's a way out! I have to find it myself!)
"You're right, Sumiko! I have to find my own way out! Thanks Sumiko! I wish you could be one of us.".
Sumiko's face immediately flushed red.
"A—?!?!".
Artoria laughed a little and then ran away. He stopped in the middle of the road and waved his hand in the air while thanking and saying farewell.
"Thank you and I'll see you!!!" artoria said excitedly.
Sumiko who saw Artoria smiled and waved her hand as well. Artoria then went running somewhere and while because of the thing that had just happened Sumiko almost forgot her true purpose, but fortunately she still remembered although probably mostly forgotten.
(Eh? Hmm... What did I want to do just now..? Uh! I have to find a guy named Keiko!)
Sumiko looked to her right and to her left and then back.
(That's... Backside.... Ah behind me!).
Sumiko ran towards the tent. As he was in front of the entrance of the tent, he felt very nervous but he kept coming in. He slowly entered the tent.
"Excuse me.." said Sumiko in a small tone.
He saw Keiko was training her magic energy capacity. Sumiko didn't want to interfere with Keiko's training because she didn't have the heart.
Keiko suddenly opened her eyes slowly and looked towards Sumiko. While training her magic energy capacity she asked Sumiko.
"What are you here for?" tanyakene,
"Ah. Pardon me! I seem to be interrupting your training huh?",
"Yes, a little.",
"so yeah... I'm sorry!".
Keiko ended her training and stood right in front of Sumiko.
"Forget over. What was your purpose in coming here? If it doesn't matter then I'll kill you for interfering with my training.",
"I want to ask you why I can't control my powers!".
Keiko lowered her head slightly while putting a sharp look at Sumiko.
"You're looking to die, huh...?" said Keiko in a horrible tone,
"No I'm not looking to die! I have the combined magic power of Light and Land!".
Keiko raised her hands as high as her shoulders. Suddenly there was a book coming out on top of his hand then falling right into his palm.
"This is a guidebook on the combined power of magic cahay—".
Just before Keiko finished her sentence, Sumiko cut out her sentence.
"I've read it before! But it didn't work!",
"Huh?", huh?",
"I've read it so many times that I almost remember the whole book! I also tested all the guides inside but to no avail! My power is different from my other similar combined powers.",
"Why then should I ask you?",
"You have an eye for time, don't you?",
"Hmm? Yeah I really have it here.".
Keiko showed her left eye that was covered by her hair bangs.
"I want to ask. Is it the eyes of my time that hinder the development of my strength?" sumiko asked while showing her timed eyes,
"No. Something like that doesn't exist. In the entire universe there are only 4 points of time. As far as I could see, none of its users had their powers hampered by the eye of time, except Nakano.",
"Nakano said that the magic capacity cells in his body were blocked by the eye of time. Is that true?",
"Yes. But instead, he was endowed with greater stamina than his father and a strong body. So that his father was convinced that his son, Nakano, could inherit the power of his martial arts.",
"Martial arts? I just found out.",
"Every martial arts expert has enough great physical strength to create his own flow of martial arts. On average all martial arts are almost entirely known by name to the public but not by the way it works and such. The only martial art that has yet to be revealed is that of Sakamaki Izayoi. The strongest martial art that exists in the entire universe.",
"....",
"Forget that. If you think that you cannot control your power because of the eyes of time, think back. If it is true, there must be something else that is given to you whether it is physical or anything else. There's gotta! Look for it and if you meet it, then meet me again. I'll help you practice.",
"Serrated strength.... GERIGI POWER!!! That is my advantage! I can master the power of the serration in part.",
"Some?",
"Yes. The serrated power is the combined power of light and earth so I can't control it. I can only make swords or protectors from it, the rest I can't use as freely as my father.",
"Good! Meet me here tomorrow! I will train you to be as strong as your father. And if you've already passed this training.".
Keiko smiled cynically and continued her sentence.
"You will master your power completely!".
Sumiko was startled for a moment and immediately shouted in excitement.
"YYYAAAAAAA!!!!!".
