Chapter 134: 134 It’s the third day since I came to visit Isis-san’s castle…… Time sure flies, as I’ll be already leaving in a few hours . I think the reason I feel sad about that is that I really enjoyed spending time with Isis-san . We read lots of books together and shared our thoughts . We went to the jewel mines together and acquired many jewels, including the one for Lilia-san . On the second day, Isis-san came over while I was bathing again…… in the end, we bathed together again, making my reasoning on the verge of collapsing once again . Truly, in these two days…… I’m together with Isis-san the whole time . It’s not like I don’t like it though, and in fact, those times were really calming and filled me with happiness . Currently, Isis-san and I are standing side by side in the highest room of the castle, looking at the scenery, as if we’re making use of the time we have left together until Lillywood-san comes to pick me up . Without rejecting Isis-san, who’s holding my hand and gently leaning her body close to me, I gently squeeze her hand back . [……Kaito . ] [I will still be coming . As often as I can…… . This place has been remembered by my Teleportation Magic after all . ] Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com [……Unnn . ] With Isis-san’s permission, I’ve memorized the entrance of the castle as a Teleportation point with my magic tool . From now on, I won’t need to ask Lillywood-san to guide me, and I can just come and visit easily . Isis-san was really happy about that, repeatedly nodding with a cute smile on her face . [……Will you read…… together with me…… again?] [Of course . ] [……Will you eat…… together with me…… again?] [Isn’t that obvious?]
[……Will you take a bath…… together with me…… again?] [Uuuhhh… . . O- Of course . ] Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com Only at her final question, I couldn’t give an immediate answer . Well, I’m obviously still a healthy young man…… I would be rejoicing if a beautiful girl is taking a bath together with me but…… In Isis-san’s case though, she is truly pure and defenseless, and I can’t think any wicked thoughts for her . That’s why I feel like my mind and reason are being slowly chipped off, making me feel burned out . […………………] […………………] Even the silence that comes within our time is comfortable, while the warmth of Isis-san’s body gently soothes my heart . Even as I feel like passing through time like this forever, time still flows and the time for me to return is getting closer and closer . Right around that time, Isis-san and I sensed that Lillywood-san appeared at the entrance of the castle, and just as we started walking towards her filled with reluctance to part ways…… . Isis-san pulled my hand . [……Kaito . ] [Eh?] Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com [……Hnnn . ] [Wha!?] Isis-san’s body gently stepped forward and immediately afterwards, a soft, slightly damp feeling touched my cheek . When I finally understood that it was Isis-san’s lips, I felt my face heating up that it almost feels like I’m boiling . [……I’ve grown to love Kaito…… much…… much more than…… before Kaito came . ] […… . I…… sis–san . ]
[……I’ll always…… be waiting…… Kaito…… I love you . ] Isis-san’s smile as she told me that was many times more beautiful than the fleeting snows falling around us, drawing my eyes away from other things . Meeting eyes with each other as Isis-san smiles, within the sweet and warm atmosphere…… A confused voice rang out . “……Ummm…… Errr, should I come back later?” Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com [Uwaaahhh!? Li- Lillywood-san!?] When I turned around, there was Lillywood-san who looked very awkward, and I hurriedly explained myself . [Thank you for sending me off . ] “……No, I’m the one who should be thanking you . This is the first time I’ve seen Isis looking so happy . It’s all thanks to Kaito-san . ” While we bought some souvenirs and other items along the way, Lillywood-san dropped me off at the gate, and we exchanged our thanks . My first visit to the Demon Realm was full of surprises and happiness, but more importantly, I really enjoyed the time I spent with Isis-san and wanted to come back to visit . Smiling at Lillywood-san who repeatedly thanks me, I slowly approach the gate and return to the Human Realm . In an instant, the landscape around me changed…… but in that instant, I immediately noticed something out of place . There were supposed to be so many people here when I came here before, but now, there wasn’t a single person around the big gate .
As I put myself on guard before that uncanny scene, the sound of dry applause resounded . Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com [……How terrific . Miyama Kaito . ] [……Phantasmal King . ] With her high-pitched voice, the scene in front of me distorted, and the Phantasmal King appears, dressed in a robe riddled with chains . [I never thought that Magnawell would like you so easily…… Good gracious, I can no longer find any more words to praise you . ]
[………………… . ] [Don’t stare at me that hard, you’re making my heart skip a beat . ] [……What do you really want……] She’s still the same uncanny fellow as always, even knowing my encounter with Magnawell-san in the Demon Realm like it’s obvious . Seriously, she’s the only person I don’t know the reason why she’s approaching me for . Last time we met, she’s saying that she wanted to ascertain something but…… Does that mean that it was also a part of the trial that this fellow is talking about? Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com
[……Miyama Kaito…… Do you think there’s power dwelling within your hearts?] [What?] [With the heart…… within that fragile body of yours, I want to find out if you can be the unique one who can stand in the same field as the Six Kings . ] […………… . . ] While announcing this, the Phantasmal King slowly moves her feet and heads towards the huge gate . Then, after she moved right before the gate, she began walking up the pillar as if to say gravity doesn’t exist . [Ah, yes, that’s what I’m here for, wasn’t it? What, it’s not that big of a deal…… All I want for you to do is “take down Kuromueina” . ] [Wha!?] As she vertically walked along the pillar, sounding somewhat amused, the Phantasmal King declared with her uncanny voice . She wants me to take down Kuro…… Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com [Whoa there, that’s a bad way to say it . It’s not like I want you to hurt Kuromueina or anything like that . ] […………… . ]
[Let’s see…… The most appropriate way to say it should be…… . Yeah, let’s go with that . “I want you to save Kuromueina . ”] [Save…… Kuro?] I seriously don’t know what this person’s talking about . She’s telling me to save Kuro, but what exactly does she mean by that? [……I can understand your doubt . But I’m sorry, I can’t tell you everything right now…… However, this is the only thing I can say to you . I believe that you are the only person in this world right now who has a chance of dispelling Kuromueina’s darkness . ] [……Dispelling Kuro’s darkness?] [However, there are still some hesitations within me . I can certainly say that you’re a talent more outstanding than I ever imagined…… However, it’s still not enough to match against Kuromueina . ] […………… . . ] Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com It doesn’t feel like the Phantasmal King is speaking ill of me…… My Sympathy Magic can’t read her emotions well, but I understand that she’s speaking her true feelings . The Phantasmal King then stops around the middle of the gate, she slowly turns toward me before she continues speaking . […… . That’s why, show me that the wings you’ve gained aren’t vanity-painted falsehoods, but the real one that won’t burn when you get close to the sun……] [So…… You still want me to go through more trials, is what you’re saying?] [Yes, that is so . However, you have already gone through three trials . You only have to pass “two more”…… I have high hopes for you . Overcome all my trials and stand before me……] [……After I overcome all these trials…… I’m going to hit you in the head once . ] In her high-pitched voice, the Phantasmal King announced that there are still two more trials . The first trial is that attack, the second is Megiddo-san’s invasion, and the third one is the encounter with Magnawell-san…… If this is the case, the Phantasmal King will probably appear once in front of me when I finish a trial . Considering what has happened so far, I’ve decided that those trials are something I can hardly escape from, so I just said those few words while glaring at the Phantasmal King . [I don’t mind . No, rather, I’ll gladly accept it, you can hit me as much as you want . ] Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com
[……Are you being serious?] [Of course . If you have overcome all my five trials…… As your reward, “I will pledge my allegiance to you . ”] [……Huh?] [If you ask me to be beaten by you, then I will be beaten . Ask me to show you my face, and that, I will do, and if you ask me to hold you in my embrace, I will gladly give myself to you…… I promise to be yours . ] [……E- Errr…… what the heck are you……]
Did this guy just start saying incomprehensible things!? Eh? If I survive all of her trials, the Phantasmal King will be mine? The heck is that, that’s scary . Receiving my astonished gaze, the Phantasmal King disappears and immediately appears in front of me . She should have been close by, but her face hidden beneath her hood seems to be covered with a black haze, so I can’t see her face at all . [ ! ? ] Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com [But for now, I will give you your reward for overcoming your third trial . ] [……This is?] The bundle of paper held out to me that the Phantasmal King claimed to be my reward, what was written on them makes no sense to me, but I know that it’s information about something . Seeing me tilting my head, the Phantasmal King said something unbelievable . [……It’s the information about the person who plotted against the Second Division that Lilia Albert once led four years ago . ] [Wha!?] [Of course, that alone can’t be used as proof of anything . However, if you show it to someone familiar with the underworld…… You might be able to find the culprit’s tail . ] [……………… . ]
Seriously, how much does this guy know? For her to even know about the identity of the Lilia-san’s target of revenge that she has been looking for…… It seems that the story about all information being gathered by the Phantasmal King isn’t a lie . Follow current novels on lightnovelworld . com After confirming that I received the bundle of papers, the Phantasmal King quietly turns around . [……Well then, Miyama Kaito . After you passed your fourth trial, let’s meet again . ] [……………… . ] With that, the Phantasmal King disappeared . Leaving another mystery within my mind…… Dear Mom, Dad——- On the way back from Isis-san’s castle, the Phantasmal King appeared in front of me for the third time . As usual, I didn’t know what this person’s thinking, and her true intentions were ultimately unknown to me . Seriously, of all the people I met——- She’s a being filled with mysteries .
Translation: Phantasmal King: “Magnawell liked him too!? Amazing, amazing! For him to be liked this fast, as expected of he who exceeds my expectations! Ahh, if you stare at me that much, I will get embarrassed, you know? As I thought, he’s really dreamy…… but however, I still want you to show me even more of your potential, you know? If it’s you, I think you can do it . If you work hard enough, I will be~~ come~~ yours~~ . ] Isn’t this person coming out just to say how much she likes Kaito?
