116 Tatsuya’s Memories- A Dragon, A Loli and Me (1/2)

When, I-Tatsuya finally spoke my mind, Issei Hyodo, didn't speak anything, but he appeared as if he was thinking about something, then he spoke,

”Tell me more about this 'Rejuvenated' ritual,” he asked with a serious expression on his face,

I coughed then spoke, ”Our father, Tashin-Sah Yotsuba isn't just any normal human, and he has been living for the past ninety years, with the help of this ritual that is...

Tashin-Sah Yotsuba, gain immense power, cultivated himself, and found a new way to live longer and dominate others, which was, having offspring and killing them off.

Every four years, a lunar eclipse occurs where our clan's strength reaches its pinnacle, at that time, in he performs the ritual, in a large magic array sacrificing his own children and wife, thus regaining his youth and strength.

This has been going for so long, and this year the target was us, but due to unfortunate accidents, I became crippled and weak to use magic and my mother died after giving birth to my sister, so now his targets are my sister and my aunt who married him”

Issei did not spoke for some time, but then continues, ”But the eclipse occurs every four years right? At that time, you all couldn't even control your strength let alone use you...could it be...”

As I had expected, Issei Hyodo, found out, ”Yes, every four year he sacrifices the strongest current Youtsuba apart from him...that's how he keeps increasing his strength even without his children have matured” I said.

”When is the next eclipse?”

”Two months from now...”

”That is a short window but, we will have you prepare and I will go as well,” Issei says as he gets up,

I finally smiled, this man was about to help me, perhaps this time I will not fail this time, Miyuki I will protect you.

Then I sensed Issei's tensed face, I asked him, ”What's the matter?”

”Well destroying the ritual and all is fine and easy, the real problem is your father, Tashin-Sah Yotsuba, he came seventh in the 'Grand Summit of Strength'”

That is when I remembered, 'Grand Summit of Strength' is a battle of power and wisdom held in Aincrad.

The floating island Aincrad, keeps changing its location which is also a challenge to find its location. The island provides 10,000 floors; the people who complete all the floors are termed as the strongest in all of the realms, currently on 12 have managed to pass all the 10,000 floors.

In addition, among those 12, my father ranked seventh, which indicated just how strong he is...

That very moment, I saw a change, Issei had a scary smiley face, he was laughing manically, as he spoke, ”To fight a man like that, it is worth it”

Then I also realized that this person is a battle maniac, he looked towards me and spoke, ”I will say the truth, even though if you prepare for two months, you cannot even scratch your father, I will deal with him...but the ultimate result will be one of us will die”

He said it simply without holding back anything, he made sure that I knew what I am signing up for and I'm prepared to do it or not...

I closed my eyes, and went in a deep thought, about what my father did for me or for anybody...the only face I could see, was the one that belonged to my kid sister, I now, very well knew what steps I need to take.

With cold eyes and determination, I spoke, ”I only care about my little sister, the rest I have no connection”

”That is an excellent reason and a perfect example of sis-con brother”

What! When I heard that, my face turned a little red, well somewhere in my heart perhaps it was true that I am a sis-con, which is why it was difficult for me to retort.

With another serious expression he continues, ”Do you need anything else?”

I pondered for a little while and then spoke, ”Actually, I have theoretically done many researches regarding the combination of magic and science but I have hidden it all, under the floor of my bed, if you can help me get that-”

Something flashed in Issei's eyes as he looked at me with a bright smile, ”Magic combined with science that is interesting, I want to have a look, Merlin can you-”

He looked towards the girl beside him, who had a smile as well; she came near me and spoke, ”Give me you palm, with your trace I will bring back those researches here”

I didn't quite get it what she was about to do, but I did what she instructed me to do, after extending my palm...she held it with both of her palms,

”[Star: Search]” she says, after which the palm glows so her eyes, and the map of the realm system in her eyes, within just a few seconds, she exclaimed, ”Found it!

[Instant Magic: Teleport]”
