Chapter 88: Gossip – Tomoe, Royalty and Hero(2/2)
After accidentally blurting out words driven by anger, Tomoe thinks about her master. Makoto is somewhat mindful about the heroes. Though even if it’s said like that, it doesn’t mean in a cooperative way, but more like just their circumstances and tendencies. In truth, Tomoe, Mio and Shiki who are the closest to Makoto, don’t even know his relationship between the heroes.
If it’s just because they are otherworldlers, then Tomoe and the others wouldn’t hold back, but for heroes that were transported to this world at the same time, they couldn’t help but hesitate asking.
In the time when Tomoe was pondering, Tomoki intruded in the space between her and Mora.
“If Mora did something, I apologize. But, could you please give me your answer to my invitation?” (Tomoki)
He once again gazes at her. For Tomoe, this enticing power is only annoying.
“It’s not to the level where hero has to apologize. Also, you who are facing me with those annoying eyes, is no different from her. Is it because the visitor from another world doesn’t have that much confidence in himself? It is slightly sickening, so can you stop. Of course, my answer is no-ja. I already have a master called Makoto who I have offered myself to” (Tomoe)
“You... You noticed the demon eyes?!” (Tomoki)
“Relax. No matter if you use that kind of power or not, my impression of you would not have changed. It’s just boring. Not only do I not want to fight along with you, I don’t even want to cross blades” (Tomoe)
“Lightning Lance!” (Tomoki)
“?!!”
Seeing Tomoki calling his loved weapon, the two girls stiffen their bodies. But Tomoe looks at him as if looking at a pebble on the roadside, she looked at Tomoki with an inorganic gaze.
“You look like a kid throwing a tantrum-ja na!” (Tomoe)
“Shut up!!” (Tomoki)
Tomoki’s lance penetrates Tomoe’s right shoulder.
But Tomoe doesn’t show any signs of pain, and blood doesn’t flow from the wound.
At another place from Tomoki’s dumbfounded expression, Tomoe’s contour blurred, becaming small grains and dispersing.
“You can’t even tell apart if the person you are talking to is an illusion. Truly, foolish. Princess Lily, our meeting here may have been sweet, but let’s make it as if it never happened. If you don’t even understand the true meaning of this and still begin foolish actions, have in mind that, not long, there will only be one hero remaining” (Tomoe)
Tomoe’s voice reverberates in their bodies.
A mist that enshrouds till the knees of an adult.
(When did this mist... It must be an illusion type. “If you don’t understand the true meaning” huh. She probably means to not make contact with Kuzunoha Company. No, as long as I don’t get the full picture of Tomoe, I should not put my hands on Tsige. Just what in the world is her? I have never heard of a dragon that can read the minds of people) (Lily)
Because of Tomoe’s spell, the forest becomes a mist labyrinth.
Tomoki and the others who were in the middle of it, could only absentmindedly stand there.
