章 123: 123. Go Back to Xaos
Izumi looked around. As a result of activating Haoshoku Haki, all those who were at a low level were unable to withstand his pressure and faint instantly.
Izumi sighed. It seemed that he still had to train his Haki control so he could release the pressure only to the target he was aiming for.
"Anyway, Izumi. The pressure you'd released…"
"It's Haoshoku Haki."
"Seriously? A technique from that anime?"
"Do you want to learn?"
"Forget it, it's impossible."
"There's nothing impossible in this universe. Although there are times when the "impossibility" appears, I'm sure it's because no one has yet been able to solve the problem that was considered impossible."
Even though the others didn't understand what Haki and anime were, the later sentence Izumi said was engraved in their heads. Everyone was afraid of impossibility. However, what Izumi said woke them up. There was nothing impossible in the universe.
Like a disease that has no cure. Everyone says "no cure" because no one has found a cure yet.

A few minutes later.
Everyone started to wake up one by one starting with the Gabranths who fainted due to Izumi's Haki.
They were shocked because their king was gone. Then, they saw Izumi, Aquinas, and Judom not far from them.
"Y-you… What did you do to our king?"
Of course, Aquinas had only glanced at Izumi since he had heard everything. Who would have thought that even the king of Gabranth fell so easily at Izumi's hands?
"Did you kill— Aghhh."
"Watch your words, you stupid Gabranth!"
Izumi looked at them coldly. What he just did was throw gravel at that person's neck.
Seeing that Izumi didn't seem like he wanted to talk, finally, it was Judom who informed them that Leowald had left carrying his kid.
They didn't want to believe Judom's words. But, seeing the 2 people who were called the strongest people in each continent, and the addition of another one who was even stronger than them, the Gabranth immediately retreated.
The others started to wake up after the Gabranth elite soldiers left. Even Lilith, the princess in Judom's arms, was no exception.
Judom immediately ordered his aides to catch Rudolph and his minister. As the representative and leader of the Humas race, their deeds were too disgraceful.
"Mr. Judom, what do you want to do with my father?" Lilith asked in worry.
"Princess, your father did something unforgivable. So I want to lock him up first to clear his mind." Judom didn't explain entirely. However, since she knew him pretty well, she trust his words nonetheless.
At that moment, Hiiro seemed to remember the king and stopped those aides.
"Yo, King of Victorias. Do you remember me?" Hiiro waved his hand at the king.
Hiiro's question naturally piqued everyone's interest. Well, except Judom and Izumi who already knew Hiiro's true identity.
"Who are you? I have never known about the disgusting Evila race like you." Rudolph was so vengeful toward Evila because his wife was killed at their hands. However, Izumi felt that Rudolph's stupidity was beyond help. The one who killed his wife was Avoros when the Humas race was betrayed at the conference, but for some reason, he actually agreed to work together to kill Eveam.
Hearing that Rudolph didn't recognize him, Hiiro used his magic to change his original appearance.
"If it's like this, do you still not recognize me?"
Lilith covered her mouth in surprise after seeing Hiiro's real appearance. She could still vividly remember how she apologized to him after he accidentally got dragged into the summoning of the heroes from another world.
Except for Izumi and Judom, others were dumbfounded by his appearance.
Aquinas wanted to ask Izumi, but Izumi gestured to stop. He promised to give explanations about his and Hiiro's real identities.
Meanwhile, Rudolph pointed at Hiiro.
"Y-you, you are, at that time…"
"That's tight. To be honest, I was kinda angry at first because you summoned me to this world without my permission. Or you can say I was kidnapped. However, after spending more than a half year in this world, I feel like I want to thank you for letting me explore this unknown world. The experience I've got all this time gave me something I didn't have in my world."
Hearing Hiiro's statement, Izumi sighed. He knew very well Hiiro's background where both his parents had died when he was young due to a car accident. Since then, his character has changed drastically. Even though there might be some people who tried to befriend Hiiro because of his brilliant achievements, Izumi was sure that with Hiiro's obnoxious nature, he made them irritated.
However, in Edea, even though his character didn't change at all, a lot of people were still attracted by his odd common sense, appearance, and strength. And many people were willing to follow him even though his nature was so annoying.
That was why he felt a different sensation from his life on earth.
After he had nothing more to say, Hiiro changed back to his Oni appearance which was similar to Izumi's.
"Who is he actually?" Aquinas murmured.
"He is the one who bonded into a contract with Your Majesty." Izumi replied.
Aquinas turned his head to Izumi.
"So, he's the person you mentioned back then?"
Before leaving for the peace treaty conference, Izumi told Aquinas that he had a friend who could help protect the capital city of Xaos which should be attacked by the Gabranth race. What surprised him was that Izumi had said that Hiiro was about the same level as Aquinas.
"To think that your friend is a person from another world. But, does that mean—"
"I'll tell you everything later, anyway. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not since my objective on your side is over." Izumi said inwardly. Then, he asked Aquinas while curling up his lips.
"What do you think?"
Aquinas shook his head.
"The fact that you are helping us cannot be denied. Regardless, even if he or even you are not of the Evila race, you two are still our allies."
"In addition, I've known you pretty well in the past half a year." Aquinas added silently.
Izumi saw Hiiro prepared to use his magic to teleport. He immediately grabbed Hiiro's shoulder.
"Oi, where are you going?"
Then, Hiiro drove away Izumi's arm.
"Of course back to Xaos, what else?" Hiiro replied with a snort.
Izumi immediately clutched Hiiro's head.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch… stop!!!"
"Say, why do you want to leave us?"
"You came here by yourself. Isn't it natural if you should go back by yourself as well?'
What Hiiro said made Izumi become more irritated.
"Can you be a little sensitive? Our destination is the same. You should know that you also have to take us." Izumi increased his grip. As a result, Hiiro gave up right away.
— — — —
They arrived at Xaos, to be precise at the front of Izumi's mansion. Izumi could see from afar that the war was still going on.
"Hey, Otamegane! You said you've settled the matter over here, but why are there so many of the Gabranth race still hanging around?"
Hiiro shrugged his shoulders.
"At least I've caught the strongest ones. The rest will be taken care of by the wolf face."
"The wolf face? Is he Ornoth?" Aquinas responded by asking. However, Hiiro shook his head.
"Dunno."
Izumi raised his index finger.
"But, Otamegane. Your contract required you to protect Xaos, right? If you don't do it properly, the contract will react to kill you, you know." Izumi said.
Hiiro clicked his tongue.
"So troublesome."
And then, he immediately went to the battlefield intended to take care of all of them.
Seeing Hiiro walk away, Aquinas turned his head to Izumi.
"I'll help that guy first before finding Your Majesty. Don't you want to help your friend?"
Izumi shook his head.
"Nope. Just him being alone is enough."
"You sure are confident in his strength."
"Yeah, I know his magic pretty well. You don't need to worry about him! Just find Your Majesty first!"
Aquinas nodded and then left.
After Aquinas and Hiiro left, Izumi's gaze shifted inside his mansion, he sensed two strangers' auras beside Kyouko, Mikazuki, and Nikki.
Izumi frowned. But he knew that those three were alright. So, he calmly stepped to his mansion.
