Chapter 34: Shinichi-Sama
In a dark place from a faraway land. There is a throne full of bones and a person you could see sitting on it but the whole body is covered in fog of darkness. He was resting his head in his right arm that was in the armrest with his eyes closed.
The man sitting on the throne felt something and he opened his eyes "hmm?... It looks like the Flame of Darkness is finally went to the rightful owner… It means…"
"That Goddess finally makes her move... Cough cough" the man suddenly coughed and his body started to blur
"…but it looks like I won't be able to witness it, I'm about to reach my end. Sigh~"
"I didn't think that I would choose to trust someone… It's all up to you now"
The man then closed his eyes and enter a deep slumber.

Outside the City of Circe, the 10,000 mages were all dropped their jaw as they saw the damage of Shinichi's attack the forest was mowed down clean and it became land, you won't be able to see a single wood, it was all incinerated, and the ground charred black.
They looked around and didn't see Mammon, which means that he died from that attack, they all suddenly cheered victoriously but they saw Shinichi suddenly fall to the ground unconscious.
"Shin-kun!"
"Shin-chan"
"Shinichi-sama!"
"Onii-chan!"
Reina, Esri, Fiona, Lisa, and Elly dashed towards Shinichi With a worried look on their faces. Reina put Shinichi's head in her lap and Fiona didn't delay and cast her healing magic.
"Light Magic: Eternal Light Cure Heal" Fiona raised her staff
Shinichi's body was engulfed in light and his body slowly got better. After a while, the treatment is done, Shinichi is still unconscious but the wide smile on his lips calm them down.
"How's the commander?" The City Lord asked.
"He's fine now, but he still needs to rest because the pain and strain in his body that he receives is not for us to even ask," Fiona replied
The mages surrounding them all nodded, they can't even imagine how much pain Shinichi experienced, they don't want to even think about it as they shook their heads.
"Yuuka, please inform the housekeeper to prepare the room for the royalty."
"Yes," Yuuka saluted and run towards the City
The City Lord look at Shinichi as he remembered the Guild Master from the City of Astraea telling him that a monster suddenly appeared in the Guild.
He doesn't want to believe at first but after he elects him to lead the mages and saw his achievements, he now fully accepted that this young man is the future pillar and the soon-to-be-legendary existence. He was really thankful to Shinichi from the bottom of his heart to save his City.
The City Lord suddenly kneeled and kowtow to the sleeping young hero, and all the mages followed suit. They all kowtowed to him with gratitude and worship with tears flowing down their faces.
Reina, Esri, Fiona, and Lisa opened their eyes in surprise in this scene, the four of them looked at each other then looked at the smiling sleeping face of Shinichi as they also smiled charmingly and warmly.
After a minute of kowtowing to Shinichi, the city lord stand up and the others followed
"We will go first to inform the citizens and the Kingdom that the demons are all annihilated," The City Lord said.
"Mhm, Good work everyone", Esri said
All of them nodded with a smile visible on their faces.
When all the mages went to the City, the only ones left was Reina, Esri, Fiona, Lisa, and Elly
"Will Onii-chan will wake up soon?" Elly asked sadness was visible in her voice
"Of course, he will, there is no way your Onii-chan will leave his little Elly" Reina replied as she brushed Shinichi's white hair
"Mhm" Elly nodded happily
"…by the way Fiona" Esri suddenly became serious and called her cousin's name this time.
Fiona was taken aback by the sudden change of expression of Esri and called her name "W-what is it?" Fiona stuttered
"That confession earlier are you sure about that? I may be your cousin but I won't tolerate it if you are just saying that because of the heat of the moment and doesn't really love him and hurt him…" Esri squinted her blue eyes as she looked at Fiona
"Do you really love him?" Esri asked seriously
Fiona looked at the serious Esri for a while and took a deep breath before she answered "I will be honest with you cousin, at first I was only observing him, wanted to learn how you fell in love with him. I was really curious…"
"So, your only interested in him not love him?" Esri asked
"Yes at first, but after seeing how he treated the two of you…" She suddenly closed her eyes and started to talk
"… and how manly he is, facing that Demon and shouldering the hopes of the mage, that heroic back of him. Ahhhh I want him, I want to be with him, I want to be in his side whenever he gets hurt, I will cure him with my Love, if it's him, he will make me feel excited, he has full of surprises and mystery in him. And above all, he is the best man for someone like me, ahhhh! Shinichi-sama, My knight, My hero" Fiona started to list down out loud to them as she closed her eyes and clasped her hands in her breast like she was praying, remembering her hero inside her mind and looked at Shinichi like a woman who was possessed
Esri, Reina, and Lisa were taken aback when they heard and saw Fiona looking at Shinichi like a hypnotized woman. Esri only wanted to test Fiona but to think Shinichi was deeply sunk in her heart, this is unbelievable in itself, the woman who hated a man was now possessed by his beloved.
"C-cousin it's fine now we now know how deep you're loved to him," Esri said as she followed inside her mind
'And how crazy you are to him'
Fiona suddenly startled awake, and when her action just now sink in her. She covered her face with her two hands and muttered.
"H-how embarrassing…" Fiona said as she blushed all from her neck to her ears.
"Cousin, I can't believe that you have a side like that, the Healing Princess of the Kingdom was in reality, was a crazy woman for a man" Esri teased with a smirk on her lips
Fiona snapped as she heard Esri "Who's crazy woman? How about you? The Sword maniac Princess of the Kingdom was like a fool madly in love with a man other than her sword" Fiona retorted
They looked at each other for a while and suddenly,
"Pfftt… Hahaha"
A burst of melodic laughter echoed Esri, Fiona, and Reina laugh at each other while Elly tilted her bird head looked puzzled why they are laughing, and Lisa only has a small smile on her poker face.
