"The emperor? And that's why you seek strength? But why?" The boy did seem rather shocked but he kept his face straight.
I sighed. I didn't have much time and I didn't want to go through this bullshit. "Because if I don't, if I can't win against him, all of you are next. He'll wage war in less than three months against all of humanity. I'm a summon. I've come from another world." I pulled out the Mystic blade from my ring. "Trerortra- the god of light entrusted this sword to me and I'm going to save the world." The lines were really cringe-worthy, but I had nothing better. "I'm the apostle of Xerphas, the god of courage. I'm favored by Anverosa and even Damsel. All for one thing- so that I can rid this world of evil. So, I can stop the emperor." Yeah, at this point, even I was embarrassed of the shit I was spouting.
I was afraid Alisa would have frowned but she didn't.
My companions were just staying quiet.
I was really glad for that.
so, basically, we're almost near the end of the slice stuff. the journey would resume in like maybe 5 or six chaps. I had a reason to make this part lengthy. You'll understand why, later. Oh and we might see a rather nice confession soon. And I believe Daarc will make a very important decision.
