Chapter 106: CHAPTER 85- I want my life back.
CHAPTER 85- I want my life back.
(POV- Frima.)
Kei Molfer... No... Hero Kei.
I don't know if you are good or bad... You are lying to me... You really want to kill me, but you don't work for demons... I don't know anything about you.
You are the enemy of demons and humans... Why does Fravi want you dead? You're not an ally of demons... I don't why... And I'm not interested in the answer either.
If I want my life back, I have to kill you... I want to see my daughters again... I want to see my pretty husband again... I want my life back.

When I was 15, I met the love of my life. I met Reiko.
"Did you bring everything?"
"Y-yes."
I gave drinks to two of my classmates... A typical case of bullying.
In my world there was no magic, but there were powers.
Heroes were admired and everyone wanted to be one... Unfortunately, not everyone was born with powers.
I was one of those rare cases.
I was born without powers... And people used to make fun of me for that.
They took advantage of me... And no one defended me... But Reiko changed that.
"Excuse me, is this class 3?"
"You must be the new guy. Please, go in."
When I first saw him, my heart raced… It was the first time I experienced that... The first time I liked a guy.
"Present yourself."
"My name is Reiko and I am 15 years old. My parents moved to this town a few days ago... Ah... What else should I say?"
"What power do you have?"
"I can exploit the things I touch. I can fly. I have super strength. Power of ice, water and fire... And I have a power that allows me to regenerate parts of my body, and I can heal my diseases and wounds. Unfortunately, it only works with my body."
Everyone started laughing when they heard that... It was impossible for anyone to have that many powers.
"That's impossible!"
"No one can have that many powers!"
"It's true what he says."- Said the teacher.
"Eh?"
"He's the son of heroes number 1 and 5."
"What?!"
Everyone was excited to hear that.
"Why are you studying in a normal school?!"
"Why don't you study at an elite school?!"
"I'm not interested in being a hero, I just want to have a quiet life."- He said smiling.
"A quiet life?!"
Everyone was jealous of him. With so many powers, he could become the next number one hero.

"Hey, Frima, go get us something to eat."
"Y-yes."
"Why don't you go for the food?"
Reiko approached us... At that moment, I felt admiration... It was the first time anyone had defended me.
"Eh? Why? That's what the freak is for. Didn't you know she has no powers?"
When she said that, I thought Reiko would look at me with disgust and make fun of me, but he didn't.
"So what? That doesn't make her any different... I hate people who take advantage of other people."
Fire began to come out of his hands.
"Are you still making fun of her?"
They knew it was dangerous to mess with him, that's why they were trembling with fear.
"W-we won't do it anymore!"
"Sorry!"
For the first time, someone defended me.
They ran away.
"Let me know if they make fun of you again."
"T-thank you."
He got a call and pulled out his smartphone.
"I'm sorry, I must take the call."
He answered the call.
"What is it, Mother...? Huh? Buy what...? Is it necessary to buy it at that place...? Yes, I have money... Yes, that's good. Good bye."
He hung up the call and sighed.
"Hey, do you know where a bakery called "Griskei" is?"
"Yes, I know it. It's a bit far."
"Can you come with me? I don't know the city and I don't want to get lost... Do not again."
"S-sure!"
It was the first time a guy asked me out... It wasn't a date, but I liked to think it was.

In time, Reiko and I became great friends... He was my best friend... He was my only friend.
"Help me, I almost died!"
"They're attacking me, I can't help you!"
He even invited me to play video games at his house... It was nice to be by his side.
"Son, we got a call from work."
"We must go out. Dinner is ready. Eat something."
"Yes, it's fine."
His parents left the house.
"Being a hero must be hard."
"Yes, it is."
—… "Reiko, why don't you want to be a hero?"
"My parents are never with me... They are always busy... I don't want my kids to have a father like that. I want to have a quiet life. I want to have a family... If I work as a hero, I'll always be busy and I won't be able to play with my children... I know I can become the next number one hero, but I don't want to... My parents never played with me when I was little... They never talked to me... I want to have a quiet life and have time to play with my children... That's all I want... To be a good father."
"You will be, Reiko. You'll make a great father! You're very kind, Reiko!"
—… "Thank you, Frima... Thank you."
He took my hand and smiled.
"Reiko?"
"I-It's kind of embarrassing... W-well... F-Frima, I've known you for 2 months... I know it's a short time, but... How do I say it...? Frima... Would you go out with me?!"
"Huh?!"
"I-I know it's sudden, but..."
"I accept!"
I started kissing him… I really hoped he would say that... He was the person I loved the most... I wanted to be by his side forever.

When I was 20, I married Reiko.
When I was 23, I had my first daughter, Daniela.
When I was 27, I had my second daughter, Lina.
I was really happy... I had a wonderful, beautiful husband. I had lovely daughters... I lived a quiet and happy life... Until that day came.
When I finished buying the ingredients to prepare my daughters' food, my body stopped responding to me... I was moving alone... I couldn't control it.
I went out into the street and a truck ran over me.
After I died, I appeared in front of the queen.
"Where am I?!"
They had invoked me... I lost my life... I lost my quiet life forever... I wanted to see my family again... I wanted to go home.
Unfortunately, the queen told me that I had died... There was nothing I could do... I lost everything that mattered to me... Or so I thought...
"You want to go back to your world?"
"Eh?"
How did I meet Zero? He came into my house and asked me if I wanted to go back to my world.
"Who are you? Did you get lost, kid?"
"I heard your speech in town. You said you missed your family. Is that true?"
"Yes. Why?"
"The world 20, the world of powers... Or was it world 19? No, it was world 20. That world is stopped."
"Eh?"
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zero, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm a very important demon in the..."
Immediately, I grabbed him by the neck.
"A demon? I'm sorry, but I have to kill you."
"Aren't you interested in what I say? World 20 is stopped. Do you know what that means?"
"What are you trying to say by that?"
"Time is not moving on. When a hero is summoned, that hero's home world stops. Time no longer moves forward. When the hero dies, time advances again... Or, when the hero returns to their world, time advances again."
"W-wait... Return? Is it possible to return?!"
"Desmolfer, the demon queen, can return you to your world. You and Charlotte are compatible with celestial magic. That magic works to travel between worlds. Unfortunately, Charlotte is very weak, we don't care. But you're strong. If you want to go back to your world and go back to your family, join us. I'll be waiting for your answer. By the way, I'm a copy, I'm not the real one. I'll come again tomorrow. Good bye."
Zero melted.
"R-returning to my world? I-I can go back to my family? He was not lying... I can come back... I can come back!"
The queen of this country uses us. She separated me from my family... She ruined my life.
If there is a chance of returning to my world, I will use it.
I don't care what I have to do.
I want to go back to my family.
Sorry, Kei... I'll kill you.
"Last warning, Frima! I don't want to kill you! The demons are using you! I'm good, I'm not bad! Trust me, please! I don't want to hurt you!"
He is lying... He is bad... He wants to kill me.
No one will ruin my dream. You won't ruin my plans... You won't!
"Shut up!!!"
I ran to him and our swords collided.
"Please, listen to me...!"
"I don't want to listen to you anymore!!"
I walked away from him and started throwing fireballs at him.
He destroyed them using his sword... Again he is absorbing magic with his sword... Shit!
"I'm sorry, Frima... But I'll get serious... I am sorry."

The commanders were gathered in the same place as always.
Zero was laughing, but he kept his face expressionless.
"Frima's an idiot! She obeyed us like a dog! Does she really believe that it is possible to stop time in a world?! What a fool!"
"That's impossible... But the hope of seeing her family again doesn't leave her thinking logically."- Said Grifio.
"Do you think Kei will beat her, Akane?"- Markam said.
"Considering his power, I think so... But he doesn't use it too much... The power he used with Nero hasn't been used again… We must wait for the result."- Akane said.
