Chapter 39

"Lady Kyouka, you should not go out without escorts! Do you know what will happen if your magic runs out of control?" Kaya reprimanded her lady for being impulsive.

"I-I'm sorry," Kyouka said with lowered head.

"My Lady, I am supposed to be serving and protecting you, and when you disappeared, how worry do you think I was? Please do not do that again."

"I understand, Kaya," Kyouka said apologetically.

Although Kaya was her maid, Kyouka tends to listen to her more due to her knowing Kaya the longest since they were raised together.

Suddenly, they received a sound transmission from Chiyuki.

"Kyouka! Your brother has been injured!" Chiyuki said in a serious tone.

"What?!" Kyouka yelled out in shock.

Without a second to waste, they hurried back to the Hero of Light's place, but at the same time, Kyouka was lost in her own thoughts, thinking who could beat her brother.

She did not notice that, not far from her, was a person walking, and she was about to slam into him!

"Watch out!" Kaya tried to warn her lady.

But when Kyouka heard it, it was too late, and the two people slammed into each other.

"Ah!" Kyouka directly fell to the ground while Kaya rushed to check if Kyouka had any injuries on her.

"Ugh, I'm sorry for crashing into you." After getting up, Kyouka apologized to the person who she crashed into.

"...It's okay. Make sure to watch where you are going next time." The person said before leaving.

"Eh?" Now that Kyouka got a better look at the person she bumped into, she saw that they wore a mask. And judging their voice, it was most likely a male.

"Milady, he seems suspicious. Just now, he didn't even budge from the impact when you bumped into him. Remember, our bodies are that of heroes and not like our old selves. I don't think that person is normal, my Lady."

"Ah, you're right!" Now that Kyouka thinks of it, why was he wearing a mask on the streets? There wasn't a festival or anything that requires cosplay happening right now.

But now it wasn't the time to think about that. She had somewhere else to be. She and Kaya left hurriedly and decided to worry about that person at a later time.

Not long after they left the mysterious person, they encountered a pervert. (A/N: What bad luck, honestly. *shakes head)

∎ ∎ ∎

'What a surprise. I didn't think I would get the Hero of Light's sister so soon.' Seal thought.

The person that Kyouka bumped into was no one else other than Seal.

'Not only was she there, but her maid was also there.'

Thinking back to it, his family mentioned that those two were people they were on good terms with. Especially Kyouka, Alice said that she wanted to introduce her to him. This caused him to smile wryly.

He did have a good impression of Kyouka and Kaya, but he decided to put them to the side right now. That was because there was still an important task he needed to do at hand.

He arrived at the hot spring entrance not long after, but to his shock, there was a commotion happening there.

A hooded person was getting protected by many knights, while a man laid in a pool of blood.

But surprise surprise. The hooded person turned out to be the extremely beautiful Goddess Rena!

"How dare you lay your hand on the goddess!" The knights yelled out to the seemingly dead man on the floor.
