(POV Alexander)
"It's okay, Miu-chan... you don't have to do anything! I will take care of killing those people who caused you so much pain!!"
I had forgotten that something like this happened in the history of Kenichi's world... well, since she was always a sweet and cheerful girl, I think it was hard to imagine that something bad had happened to her until now.
…It was probably difficult that when I saw her for the first time the first thing that came to my mind was that someone had murdered the mother of this beautiful girl.
Well, now that she had remembered that, I really wanted to go find the one responsible for that and kill them! My words weren't just to reassure her... I wanted to tell her that she could kill those guys, but I don't think these were something that a girl who grew up with the Ryozanpaku masters would see as a good thing.
Also, surely I would receive a lot of complaints from the Ryozanpaku people. That's why I think it was best if I took things into my own hands.
…I really think Miu -chan had asked the wrong person what to do with the people who killed her mother. Surely those Masters would tell her something like she had to try to forget about it or pardon them... unfortunately, that for me is no an option! I couldn't even manage to say those words as a suggestion despite trying hard!!
...a part of me wanted her to stay just as sweet and maybe naive if you want.
[ Beep ]
[Miu affection mission completed]
Suddenly, the system notification rings in my head. Well... it seems that now Miu-chan's emotions are quite unstable, so maybe it was not something so strange. Furthermore, her affection had remained between 85 and 95 all this time... that had frustrated me a bit.
" Y-You can't kill someone, Alexander- kun! "
"..."
Well, thanks to that little joy that hearing the system notification aroused in me, my killing intent had dropped quite a bit. Although ... I wonder how things ended up being like this for the one who asked me not to kill her mother's murderer was her? Shouldn't I be the one who has convinced her not to kill someone?
…I could only smile bitterly at her words as I continued to hold her. Since the same person who had been the victim was the one telling me that, I could only agree to her request.
"Alexander-kun… b-before, didn't you say that for you and Renka-chan it had only been two months while for us it was almost a year? C-Can you travel back in time? "
When we sat down while I continued to put my arm around Miu- chan's back to hold her, after keeping silent for a while, she asked me that. How could I not understand her purpose in asking me that question? Surely anyone who lost a loved one would wish the same thing that she is thinking now...
Being able to go back in time and change things so that something bad doesn't would have happened... or maybe at least being able to see that person alive one more time and being able to talk to him would be enough.
"…I am sorry. I can't go back in time... "
"..."
Miu- chan's face, who had perked up at having found a way to save her mother, becomes a little discouraged again...
When I used the System option to reach this world 7 months ahead in time, it notified me that once I did, I could not choose to use it again to choose a time back. Apparently once I get to a world, I can only use that option to go further forward in time ... or at least that's how it is now.
If I think about it, maybe that makes a bit of sense. If I went back in time and saved her mother, then wouldn't that just create a different line in time like in Kurisu's world?
[Well, that also depends on the world... things like the circle of transmigration, time, and space can be different depending on the world.
Unfortunately… from the way this world seems to be, something similar to Kurisu's world likely happened if you do that]
Can I resuscitate her with an object in the system?
[It is not impossible, but it is still quite complicated. First, for an object to be able to alter something like time and the transmigration circle, it is surely of a fairly high rank... with your current resources is impossible for you to obtain it.
Besides… it might even be dangerous. If an object goes against the laws of this world, then perhaps it can intervene to punish those who break those laws. In this world there should be no objects, techniques, or anything else that revives the dead... so it is very likely that this will happen.
Also if the world intervenes in the process, then even the soul of Miu- chan's mother could be harmed. Or maybe she has even reincarnated in this world again, and trying to revive her as her former self is what harms her… ]
"..."
I had not understood some things of what Aurora said, but… things seemed much more complicated than I thought! I was about to tell Miu -chan that maybe in the future I could do it, but... if things are as Aurora says, then doing it might be something bad!
"It is not impossible to do what you had in your mind Miu -chan, but… there are some complications. The truth is that…"
Immediately I begin to repeat the information that I had just heard from Aurora and she was listening to me attentively but... she seemed even more confused than me! Well, it's not that I can't understand it. For someone to suddenly start talking to you about all those things surely seems something similar to wanting to recruit her to some strange religion!
"…I-I don't know if I could understand those things, but… if Alexander- kun says that my mother may be alive elsewhere having a happy life, it's a bit sad not to be able to meet her as my mother but I'm glad that she is fine now... "
"..."
I can't be sure that she is living a happy life in this world, but telling her that will only make her continue to worry more about that matter… I don't want to lie to her, but it's not like I can do anything to change that now. Better when I have the power to do it, I'll talk to her again.
" Haa ~ Looks like our time alone is over..."
"E-Eh?"
"... commoner, you really made this King have to act for himself... although I don't know whether to praise you for that or blame you..."
" Tell me... did they ever teach you that being a third person without being able to read the environment when a couple has an intimate moment always ends up being hated? "
"E-Eh? C-Co- Co-Couple ?! I-I-I don't ... t-that's it... "
"Why should this King care what the commoners think of him? Also, just seeing me is something they should be happy about and not be hated"
" Well, you can also say you've arrived at the right time... since we met, my frustration just has been increasing... in fact, you're not a guy pretty unlucky? "
"...I have been envied for my luck, people until now have wanted to be in my place or coveted what I had, but... in truth this is the first time that someone tells me that I have bad luck... I do not know how to respond to that or understand your mind.
Commoners really think very differently, right? "
"...Don't worry, you will understand soon, Your Majesty"
For some time I had felt the presence of someone moving through this building for my domain, and so when he is about to arrive in this room, I have no choice but to separate from Miu- chan's soft and now warm body that seems to be much better than before. Then I face the prince who was walking towards us calmly.
…Maybe I should give him a little praise for getting here barefoot and lightly clothed through the snow? Well, I think he deserves some serious praise for his mental focus.
Unfortunately for him, that will not change that he is someone with quite bad luck as I said...
"W-Wait Alexander- kun! Y-You can't kill him!! "
"R-Really, Miu- chan… how many people have you seen me kill so far? I have fought many times but none of them are dead... or they are recovering perfectly, right?"
"T-That ..."
Sigfredo is now fine! So that only counts as almost murder!!

(POV Miu -chan)
That Alexander- kun got up and started talking looking in the other direction surprised me a bit... but then the person who had sent a letter for a duel to Hamtaro-kun is shown walking towards us.
M-My mind goes a bit blank at the sudden words of him saying that we were c-c-couple, but I quickly put those thoughts aside now as the atmosphere between the two of them turns a bit serious.
T-That boy didn't seem to understand what Alexander- kun meant by that he had very bad luck, but… I-I understood it very well! Also, I totally agreed with what he was saying!!
I wanted to tell him to run from here, but surely that would only make him think that I am despising him and immediately start fighting Alexander-kun!! So when I see both of them take a position to fight, I could only yell at Alexander- kun the same thing I had been saying until now to him.
The dark-skinned boy frowns upon hearing me, but that's just because he doesn't understand! When Sakaki-san and Apachai -san had training fights with Alexander-kun, I heard that they had to get more serious than when they did with Hamtaro-kun! Also, they knew that he wasn't using all of his abilities!!
I-I think this boy is close to Kenichi's level... and Alexander- kun, who hadn't gotten serious with him when they trained a few days ago, had easily handled him while also joining to him other boys with similar strength.
Well, there is one thing that bothered and worried me about that boy... but even with that, I don't think things will change much for him!
"Cheer up, commoner. This King will be the one who will end your life! "
"..."
While thinking about those things, the fight between them begins! Then under a rain of various attacks, Alexander- kun only blocks or slightly dodges all the attacks of his enemy... the guy movements were quite ruthless since they were attacking soft areas of his body, but without being much affected by that, Alexander- kun continued doing the same while not even moving from the place where he was standing at the beginning of the fight!!
...M-May if both of us fought seriously even I could not break his [ Seikūken ] now... that surprised me a little.
"..."
Since he can't break through Alexander-kun's defense, [ Yomi's ] disciple frowns… he intensifies his attacks and the energy in his movements, but then Alexander- kun seems to simply do the same to just match his opponent. Things do not change at all no matter how hard the other person tries!
" D-Damn commoner… you seem to have a bit of skill. I don't expect you to make this King take things seriously..."
Seeing that his blows could not even make Alexander kun move, the boy stops attacking him for a moment... then the thing that caused me some concern from the King or prince appears!
Somehow, I felt that the atmosphere in this room is heavier! It was similar to the aura that the Masters display when they fight seriously… no, I even think it was somewhat more oppressive!!
When we were at the hotel where we first met this guy, in some moments this feeling appeared! Certainly he didn't seem to be someone at the Master level, but he generated even stronger pressure maybe!!
Why?!!
"This is what happens for offending the dignity of this King, someone born out of millions to be above others! People can only obey me or die if they don't!!
That is the destiny with which they were born, and the one that you also share with them!! "
Under such pressure that filled this room, he charges with a big smile on his face as if he had won this fight! With his hand in the shape of a claw, he attacks directly at Alexander- kun's eyes!!
"W-what? W-Why... "
Before the attack reached him, Alexander- kun held that boy's wrist a few inches from his face... whatever that person did to make the atmosphere heavy, it didn't work with Alexander- kun and he was surprised by this...
I had a hunch that something like this would happen... although I was a bit surprised by that ability from him, this was not the first time I felt something like that.
The atmosphere that had filled this room seems to weaken and disappear...
"That's why I told you that you have very bad luck... maybe you were born to be in a place higher than millions of people, but... unfortunately for you, I was born to be still in a place higher than people like you"
No, it doesn't disappear… instead, it was more like it was replaced by an even more intense presence! Although I did not feel threatened by it, I could see how that boy's face paled while his feet trembled... I can say that now he was the one who was feeling what I experienced before!
Although I thought this king was a bit strange, this's why I didn't care much for Alexander- kun when I felt that from that boy… earlier in the fight Alexander-kun had with Akisame -san he had done something like that too!
"I-IMPOSSIBLE !! That's impossible!! I am a King !! Kuaah !!! "
"A-Alexander!!"
While Alexander's opponent didn't seem to believe what was happening, for the first time in this fight, Alexander- kun attacks him. The problem was that I could feel that he had used the same technique with which he almost killed Sigfried-kun!! So quite concerned that something similar from that occasion would happen now, I yell at him to stop.
"Don't worry Miu -chan… I won't kill him. It is true that it is the technique that I used before, but… my control in this is better than before. My hit now for him shouldn't be fatal to him.
Although… I cannot do anything to him avoid the pain"
"..."
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------
(POV Alexander)
Well, I knew this would happen… there were no unexpected surprises in the fight with this "King".
It's a shame for him that probably because my aura is not equal to a Master, he thought that he could win over me somehow. No, actually he had a really good hidden card up his sleeve, but… he really had bad luck that the person he affronted was me.
…Furthermore, his mastery of his [King's Dignity] skill was even weaker than that of the King of Delna. Therefore, it was inevitable that it would not affect me. Once I had my domain around me that I had only used to sense presences until now to exert its own pressure, this [ Yomi ] disciple's domain was quickly suppressed and he was instead affected by this.
In fact, throughout our fight... if this can be called that, he was my least concern. I had not stopped feeling that presence that was watching me all this time!
It was surely this guy's Master...
As I dealt with his attacks, I was waiting to see if that person would decide to show himself. But nothing seemed to change even after attacking his disciple… so I don't think he will intervene now.
Well… maybe he will make an appearance by the next thing I was thinking of doing. I should be a little prepared to even run off with Miu -chan if that happens...
