Chapter 35

"Mom?! Elen?! and Alice too!?" The shock he received was indescribable, and who could blame him?

The people he hoped to see the most were right in front of him!

"Mona," Seal called out to Mona.

"Yes, Master," Mona said after hearing her master's serious voice. She was still scared, but now it was not the time to worry about that.

"Tell me, who are those three women?"Although he knows that they're his family, he still asked Mona to confirm it.

"They are the women that were summoned on the same day as the Hero of Light, Reiji. Their names are Yukina, Elenor, and Alice."

Hearing that, Seal immediately gave Mona an order.

"Go and bring the three women to me. Make sure no one touches a single strand of their hair." In fact, he wanted to go out as well, but he has to figure out a way to remove the mask that covered his face so that he could assure them that it was him and not an imposter.

Mona was puzzled when she heard the first sentence and was even more shocked when she heard the last sentence. Just who could make him such importance to?

Either way, she couldn't refuse, so she obeyed his order.

Meanwhile, the Kuroki was fighting against Reiji.

'His movement seems slow compared to his movements back on Earth. I can see through all of it.' Kuroki thought in his mind as he swung his sword to counter Reiji's sword coming toward his right.

"Guh, how about this!" Reiji yelled before disappearing again, and this time, he went around Kuroki and slashed down at him with both swords.

However, Kuroki seems to have already noticed what Reiji was doing as he turned his body to the left while sidestepping to the right. The swords managed to miss the Kuroki by a sliver.

Then Kuroki counterattacked by slashing his massive sword up. Reiji noticed the blade coming, but it was too late as the sword tore open a deep wound from the right side of the waist to the left side of the shoulder.

Reiji had a shocked look while being confused as to what just happened. Then slowly, he fell facedown to the ground.

"No! Reiji-kun lost!"

"Reiji-kun!"

"Rei-kun!"

"Reiji-senpai!"

"Reiji-san!"

Kuroki hurriedly dodges when he felt their combined killing intent. Not even a second later, flames exploded from where Kuroki was just at.

The 5 girls moved right after the flames exploded and went to where Reiji had fallen while a mage girl summoned a fire giant to stall for time.

They knew they would not make it out alive if they fought against the Dark Knight, so all they can do is retreat for now.

The othee girls invoked a teleport spell while Chiyuki called out to the three veiled women.

"Come with us!"

But before Chiyuki could hear their answer, a woman's voice entered their ears.

"That won't do. My master wants to see these three women."

She saw a black-haired woman standing next to the Dark Knight. It was Mona

"What do you mean?!" Shirone yelled.

"Just like I said, my master wants to see these three women."

"No way!"

"No, it's okay. We will come." Elenor spoke up.

"Why?!" Shirone asked.

"Because I trust her, they don't have any malicious intent." It has to be said that Elenor and Alice were both great at detecting the intent of others, but they couldn't feel anything malicious from the woman.

"We will come." Then Elenor turned to Mona and said.

"Then please follow me," Mona said as she turned around and walked toward the castle.

The three women followed Mona.

The other girls had a dumbfounded look. Did they follow someone from the dark side?

After a few minutes of walking, they came upon a door, and Mona knocked on it.

"M-Master, it's me." She said.

"Come in." A male voice sounded.

The three women look puzzled as the voice sounded extremely familiar. As if they knew him for a long time. They followed in alongside Mona as they didn't feel anything malicious coming off of the person sitting in the chair.

"It's been a while." The mysterious person began.

"Um, do we know you?" Although the voice was familiar, Elenor and the others still asked.

"Oh? My family and especially my older sister seems to have forgotten about me?" The person said jokingly as he injected magic power into the mask. The mask soon came right off, revealing a handsome face behind it.

The three women were dumbfounded and shocked. It wasn't because of his handsome face but because of how familiar it was.

"Seal-chan?!"

"Otouto-kun?!"

"Big Brother!"
