CHAPTER 222 – THE CROSSING “GOOD”

In the living room of my Magic Cottage.

I made Io, Olivia, and Tanya wait in the front of the cottage, and holding Hikari’s hand, I tried to go once again to the lottery place while holding the golden ticket.

「……I can’t go after all」

『It’s completely the same as before』

「It means that although I got the ticket, I can only use it after going back huh」

「Too bad, I wanted to meet Onee-chan too」

「You’ll meet her after we return. And for that, I need to kick “that” Eleanor’s sass」

「Un! Hikari will do her best」

「Hikari doesn’t need to try so hard, okay?」

『You……』

「It’s okay〜. Hikari is a Demon Sword too. Also」

“Ehehe〜”, Hikari laughed innocently.

「Even if Hikari slashes towards her, Okaa-san should be okay. She’s Hikari’s Okaa-san after all!」

『Umu, it’s exactly as she said. However, it is not alright to give up just like that. Hikari, I shall teach you how to cut me. You should learn it and grow furthermore as a Demon Sword』

「Un! Hikari will do her best!」

Hikari who is the incarnation of purity, she’s so cute after all. She’s the cutest in the world without a doubt.

Well, leaving aside how cute she is, am I too protective of her?

……ahh, I see.

I was imposing my values on her too much.

「Hikari」

「What is it〜, Otou-san」

「Let’s do it with full strength. Enough to chop that other Eleanor into two」

「Un!」

Hikari smiled innocently.

☆

I went out with Hikari and after keeping the Magic Cottage to my Different Dimension Warehouse, I called out to the three.

「I’ve kept you waiting」

「U〜un, you couldn’t go? Kakeru-san」

「Yeah, I couldn’t. It will be after we return」

「Ororo〜, too bad. I wanted to see Human’s thing」

「Olivia can’t follow, so you can’t see it」

「Un, I tried to bring O-chan before, but I couldn’t〜」

Hikari agreed with me, but Olivia shook her head with a smile.

「Human is going to a different space right? If so, the atmosphere would change before and after that, so I wanted to see it」

「I see. If so, I’ll show you when we returnーーor rather, the future you should know about it already」

「We also tried to go there while I hug O-chan〜」

「Un, I’ll look forward to it」

「Uhm……uh, what are we going to do now?」

Tanya asked timidly.

「Let’s meet Skiros Calamba first. Although the situation changed, we’re still probably going to fight against the Empire. The opponent only changed from Emperor Rodotos to Demon King Eleanor. If the history is moving towards the five great kingdoms, we should sortie with Skiros and the others」

「I see」

「Mercouri-san is not around, is it alright?」

Io asked a very natural question.

The five great kingdoms. Mercouri, Calamba, Comotoria, Siracuza, and Aegina.

When I met Skiros, because I dropped the fan I received from Helene, he thought that I am a person from Mercouri.

Although there is no problem at all fighting as Mercouri’s side, the problem is that after the war ends, who will be the one governing the Mercouri Kingdom.

「In the first place, Helene and Iris’s appearance, they were not human」

「Ororo〜, what does that mean?」

Olivia tilted her head. I see, she doesn’t know huh.

I explained it to her.

The image I had when I met Helene for the first time.

A beauty with golden hair with pointed ears, as beautiful as a fairy.

I told Olivia that image.

「Ororo〜, if it’s that, I know them. They’re a very small race within the demi-humans」

「Is that so?」

「Un, it’s like this, right?」

Olivia waved her hand.

A magic circle appeared from the ground and the soil gradually formed a shape.

It slowly turned into a humanoid shape and started to change colors.

After a while, it turned into a detailed doll.

「Ah! It’s this」

「This is it」

「Un!」
