Book 7: Chapter 19
Book 7: Chapter 19
Three days later, Kyle was spacing out in their inn room. The four girls behind him were having a lively discussion about something, but he wasnt even listening, and just thought about what had transpired, as well as the future. After what happened, Kyle and Shildonia left the Sacred Palace and met up with Seran and Leyla. They wouldnt go into detail about what happened, but Leyla was relieved to see that nothing about Kyle had changed. But of course, she gave him a stern earful regarding Cordi. Back at the inn, Maria and Miria groveled in front of Leyla, saying they would atone for their failure with their deaths, which was more than exhausting to Kyle. Leyla gave them a stern talk and took them with her, together with Souga, to deal with the extremist faction.
So your second life is all about pushing other people around, Souga commented when he heard the truth from Souga.
I can guarantee youll be too busy to contemplate that.
With these four powerhouses, not even the Mera cults aggressive faction could hope to stand their ground. After saying goodbye to Souga, Minagi seemed a bit lonely, but she looked forward to meeting again. Meanwhile, the twins brought back Dalia from where she was hiding. She seemed to have been sleeping all this time and had no memory of what happened. From start to finish, Dalia simply offered herself to serve Kyle and his party. Even now, today, she was preparing food for the group. As the bad guy, Seran profusely apologized to Dalia, but since she had not been hurt in any way, she didnt even understand what he was talking about. This very Seran was taken to a separate room by Yuriga, now responding to Luizas letters, which she had put on hold.
Why do I have to go through this
Keep on writing. But dont take the easy way. I want you to put your heart into it. Yuriga watched over him like he was a prisoner, as he continued this work he was most definitely not used to.
Meanwhile, Kyle glanced over at the armor resting next to his bedor rather, the remains of such. In terms of money, you could get nothing better than this Dragon Leather, and without it, Kyle may have died more than five times by now. However, the past fight against the Angel completely ruined what was left of the armor, making it impossible to repair. However, Yurigas report stated that the special armor made from Dragon King Zeurus scale was making good progress, so this couldnt have happened at a better time. Then, there was the case of Sakura. Although it was at Meras request, they ended up going for tea and then parted ways once more. Hearing about what had happened, Sakura seemed relieved that Meras ridiculous demands had finally come to an end.
Reminiscing about everything that had transpired, Kyle realized they accomplished a lot. He decided that he would accomplish his goal, no matter the cost. Be it his fellowships, or progress between his female comrades, hell be more assertive from now on.
So first is Princess Milena. I did save her life, and although Im sure a lot of it was just her fooling around, she did call me a possible successor, so she should at least think positively of me. Maybe I could use that to ensure Zilgus would act how I need them to? Plus, using Sakuras name should be beneficial in the long run, so I should go and meet her eventually
In a way, you could call it Kyle having shed his skin of pretense, but right when he started cooking up some really devious ideas
Kyle, I know youre setting out to save the world, but that doesnt mean you can just do whatever you want.
If words and the voice had the power to harm others, then Kyle could have died right then and there. Thats how harsh the voice sounded. A cold sweat started pouring out of every part of his body, as he heard the door behind him loudly creaking. Turning around, there was Liezes smile, which usually reassured Kyle more than anything.
Kyle, youre not alone. Youve got with us, remember?
Her words acted as emotional support and reassurance, and if you took them at face value, they couldnt be a greater blessing for Kyle. However, if one read between the linesAnd worse of all, Lieze quickly walked away again, as Urza and Minagi took her place, the three of them now smiling at Kyle. The smiles that Kyle wanted to protect so much, he picked a fight with the gods, willing to sacrifice the worldand yet, those very smiles now felt chilly to the bone.
Did you get a warning? Shildonia appeared and teased Kyle.
Rather than a warningit felt like they hammered me over the head with a plank board.
Liezes words were still repeating in his ears, which was enough to make his knees quiver. If he even relaxed for a moment, his teeth would start clattering, too.
Instant-death level, huh? Well, better not get ahead of yourself, then.
YesI understand. Kyle was in such shock that he even spoke with a polite tone.
He then glanced out of the window, swearing to Mera once more.
Ill do whatever it takes to not regret my choice.
Thus, Kyles next goal was decided. He would have to gather up the elves and dwarves under a single banner.
