Chapter 12 Sudden Attack

These are a few bandits... Scoundrels.

The bandits are talking among themselves.

"This girl seems like she'd fetch a good price."

"In the future, she'll become a very beautiful girl. She can be well-used."

I join the conversation.

"Really... Did you think I'd die to scum like you? Hurricane Roar: Scatter."

A massive wind bursts forth from where I am, rushing towards the bandits at three hundred thousand kilometers per hour. I'm certain all their bones are broken. The force of the wind has ripped their skin off.

I might have been a bit gentle... I think. Let me put this dragon in my food storage. I need energy.

I cover the dragon with a black liquid. The black liquid slowly starts consuming the dragon. What should this power be called... Hmm... Blackened Void. I like it. Now... Let me go to my sweetheart. Asahi... I've missed you so much...

(Writer: Only 5 minutes have passed)

I quickly rush to Asahi's side. As soon as I see Asahi, I jump on and hug them tightly.

"ASAHI! I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"

Tears stream from my eyes. There's still fear in Asahi's voice.

"D-dragon? Where is it?"

"I killed it, Asahi."

"K-killed it?"

"I did it for you, Asahi."

"T-thank you."

I kiss Asahi on the lips. After a while, I pull back. Both of our cheeks are bright red. I speak.

"It's so hot..."

"Kurumi?"

"Yes, honey?"

"Can you take me to the Tira Kingdom?"

"I'm already headed there. But why?"

"The King of Tira is my uncle."

I look at them with a shocked expression.

"...W-WH-WH-WHAT???"

"Yes, he's my uncle."

"T-this isn't something you just casually say, okay?"

"Why not?"

"BECAUSE IT'S NOT NORMAL!"
