Chapter 40 - Hero VS Kingdom 2 (2/2)

“······?”

Sienna found out her Class, and when he saw it, Artpe’s eyes turned round.Maetel and Aena didn’t know what was going on so they looked on absentmindedly.The only thing different was the fact that the crystal ball was know glinting.

It would probably be of help in advancing in her high rank Class….. No, that wasn’t important right now!

“Oppa, what happened······?”

“I’m not sure either.”

If she wasn’t a magician, who on this land was actually suited to become a mage!Moroever, she had escaped her humanity to become a new race that didn’t exist in history, yet she was a priestess!

Artpe was so taken aback by this that he wanted to run out of the house.However, his Read All Creation ability hadn’t malfunctioned.Instead, her record as a Warrior Priestess was show clearly in front of his eyes.There was no doubleSienna was a Warrior Priestess!

Sienna firmly grabbed Artpe’s clothes as she asked him a question.

“Oppa, does this mean I have to enter into a temple?”

“You must never do that.”

At Sienna’s naive question, Artpe gave an immediate answer.Even if a Warrior Priestess was an occupation welcomed by everyone, she wasn’t human anymore.There was no way she would be able to enter into the very close-minded temples. If Artpe thought about their temperament, it would be fortunate if Sienna wasn’t dissected for study.

Priests weren’t priests, because they had a good heart.Priests followed a specific way of training that had been passed down through time.People had researched a way to suck up to selfish gods in an attempt to obtain a boon from them.This was how the they awakened to the holy power to become priests!

This was why she was in a impossible situation.

‘Her Mana has progressed in a special direction.It’s a holy power that directly opposes evil….It is a likely hypothesis.’

The name of her race was Evil Reflector, and the name was quite explicit.It also outlined the direction of her development.She had been optimized to fight against the demon race.She was so amazing that it wouldn’t have been strange if she had been chosen as hero.

He wonder what would happen if she was given the opportunity to grow up.She was born from an experiment that had tried to turn her into a demon.She would now stand in the front line in defeating the Demon race.It was the biggest way to screw over the Demon King.Moreover, it would allow Artpe’s original goal to…...

“······Sienna.”

Artpe felt a small amount of self-hatred as he bit his lips. However, he had already handed over the Crystal Ball of Blessing to her, so he was being hypocritical by wavering between his decision.He kept eye contact with Sienna as he spoke.

“You probably lived a normal life until now.If this incident hadn’t occurred, you would have continued to live a normal life.However, the direction of your life has changed in no uncertain terms.In the process, you gained considerable amount of power and potential.Now that you have that power it’ll be hard for you to lead a normal life.”

At the very least, it wouldn’t be possible until the disturbance caused by the Demon King could be put to sleep.Sienna was a very bright child, so she fully understood what Artpe was talking about.

“Yes.Thank you, oppa.I also want to live a different life.I want to become stronger like oppa.I don’t want to be abused by bad people any longer.”

It was truly courageous words.Artpe wonder if what she experienced here had hardened her heart.

Maybe, her mental state was affected when she was changed into a new race.He just had to hope that he had led her down a better path than becoming a demon..

“The problem is the power you possess is different from theirs.The power is unique and alien.This is the reason why I gave you the Crystal Ball of Blessing.People are afraid of those that are different from them.You’ll probably be unable to display your full power out in the open.”

“Oppa, what should I do?”

She went to the heart of the matter.As Sienna asked her question, it seemed she had an idea what the answer would be.This was why there was a look of anticipation on her face.

This was why kids these days were scary.Artpe had this though as he turned to look at Maetel.It looked as if Maetel really didn’t like the current situation.In the end, she nodded with a sullen expression on her face.

She didn’t want someone else to get between Artpe and her.However, Maetel knew Sienna couldn’t be left behind now.Since her feelings were so transparent, it was a bit amusing to see it.

Artpe smirked as he turned to look at Sienna.

Then he suggested a way forward for her.

“······do you want to join our party?”

“Yes!”

As if she had been waiting for this question, she let out a bright smile as she gave her answer.Artpe had asked the question, but he was taken aback by her embarrassingly frank answer.

“······your whole life depends on this decision.Are you sure you ok making such a decision so easily?”

“Yes!”

“You can’t!”

At that moment, Aena interjected herself into the conversation as she screeched.She had finally been able to recover her younger sister, yet she was now worried that Sienna would go to a distant place.However, Sienna had anticipated her unni’s objection, so she spoke with a bright smile on her face.

“Unni, don’t worry too much about it.I’m all right.As time passes, I’ll feel much better.”

“Sienna······.”

“If you are with me, I’m sure it’ll become difficult for you.You saw it, unni.I’m not normal anymore.”

As her words ended, a white magical energy was emitted at the tip of Siennna’s fingers.Artpe could clearly see a light that was similar to holy power.Moreover, the amount of magical energy possessed by her was disparate from her status as a level 1.

“I...I...”

“Unni.You can do this alone too, right?”

Aena’s expression darkened, but Sienna’s expression remained clear.There was a thread of resoluteness that could be seen in her bright smile.Aena realized Sienna wasn’t trying to convince her of anything.She was just notifying Aena of what would be happening.

Sienna had always been a fierce girl that spoke her mind.

“We won’t be apart forever.I’ll come back.I promise.So you have to wait for me.Ok?”

“Sienna….Are you really going to come back to me?”

In the end, Aena declared her defeat.Sienna let out a bright laughter as she tightly hugged Aena.

“Yes, I promise.”

“Sienna······!”

“This is quite a nice sight, so I’m sorry to have to say this.We are going to travel together until this Quest ends.”

“Ah.That’s right.”

Artpe poured vinegar on the situation.The two sisters had embarrassed expressions on their faces.Maetel giggled.

The night came to an end in a town that’ll be gone tomorrow.
