Chapter 13 - Chapter 3 (part 2)

By the morning, Aikari woke up, and he saw Hirumi cooking.

He then walked towards and reached Hirumi. But when he reached Hirumi, suddenly there was a weird sensation.

His vision was blurry when he woke up. So maybe he touched something else. He is almost going to collapse until he feels someone catch him.

That person reaches for Aikari and places him on her chest.

As Aikari was safe on Hirumi's chest, he then finally came to his senses. Hikari then startled, and he stood straight again.

"Are you feeling dizzy? Just woke up from the deep sleep, huh?"

Hirumi asked,

Aikari smiled as he heard that, and he then stood stable and asked Hirumi what she was doing. So Hirumi then smiled and gave Aikari a kiss on a cheek before replying to him.

Aikari was a bit startled as Hirumi did so, but he didn't say anything about it.

"I'm cooking. Shouldn't we start the day with food? Besides, I'm getting hungry, and I want to learn about this world recipe."

Aikari understands and nods. But as he did that, suddenly he felt something was wrong. He begins to feel like something is wrong. Aikari then realized that his sword was on his back. Which makes him wonder why it is there. He then reached for it and put it on the table.

By the time Aikari was sitting down and waiting for Hirumi to finish, he heard a knock. So Aikari, then just go and open the door.

As he opened the door, he saw Hikari was there. He is then a bit startled and ask "What are you doing here?!?" Hikari just smiled as he saw Aikari's reaction, and he then asked Aikari if he wanted to join them for breakfast.

So Aikari then declined the request and told Hikari that he was so sorry that he couldn't go for it since Hirumi had cooked something.

Hikari nods his head, and he tells Aikari that he already predicted that. Suddenly Arithia came out, and she also got peopleith her. When Aikari looked at them, he saw that they brought food with them, and it shocked him for a while.

Aikari then looked at the food and back at Hikari.

"Um... What does this mean?"

Hikari then goes to Aikari and offers him a hand. Aikari was so shocked by that. He wondered if there was any other meaning to this. However, he just accepted it and shook hands with Hikari.

When he is doing so, Hikari then says, "For me, you're just like my family. I don't know what this feeling is. But I hope we can be close." Aikari then just smiled and accepted it. He tells Hikari that he has no doubt about that, and he also was thinking the same. But Aikari didn't think that Hikari should do something like this. Maybe he should just send him an invitation, and then he and Hirumi will go to his castle instead. If Hikari continues to make a visit like this, Aikari is just worried that Hikari will get revealed to the public a lot, and there will be a lot of chances for those who might want revenge on him to attack him.

Hikari did agree with that, but it doesn't really matter for him. Because he is not going to get beaten easily. He then just put the talk aside, and he then asked Aikari if it would be good if he and his family came in and ate with him.

Aikari, then just accept it and let all of them enter the house.

As everyone got in, Hirumi saw them, and she was then a bit shocked by it. Then Arithia walked to her and asked her what she was cooking. Hirumi then showed Arithia the recipe book that she found there, and she said that she was trying to make a food that is shown in the book. 

Arithia recognized the food, and she then helped Hirumi to prepare the food.

When Ai, Mika, and Mireha are sitting down in the living room, they begin to look around the house and talk about something. leaving Hikari and Aikari alone.

Since there's not much room inside, Hikari and Aikari try to find a space and talk about a calm topic outside just to buy time for them to wait for the food.

When Arithia and Hirumi are cooking together, Hirumi can sense something from Arithia, and it just reminds her of someone inside the Quantum Memory. The way that she talks and everything. 

She then asks Arithia, "You look nice. May I ask you about something?" Arithia then just smiled warmly, and she then told Hirumi that she could just ask her anything that she wanted. She won't comment on anything about it.

Hirumi then thought for a while and asked, "Your kingdom feels nice. I wonder if there was ever a war or conflict that ever happened here." When Arithia heard that. She then looked down a bit and nodded. She tells Hirumi that there have been a lot of things that have happened here before, and she says that she understands that because that is what it takes for them to reach this peace. She's just glad that everything has gone well until now. 

There's a lot of price for them to pay to reach this peace. She said that she was just glad to become a part of those who helped to reach that peace, and she also said that she was so glad that she was able to be with Hikari until the end.

They never wanted to rule a kingdom before, as they were both just hunters before. They just slew a monster and people who were like a monster before. It was a bit unexpected that they could reach this kind of level. 

Hirumi understood that because it was the same as her. But maybe unlike Arithia. She didn't think that she had done much to get into this place. That made Arithia question if Hirumi was someone that had a power of a certain place or something. 

Of course Hirumi didn't mean it like that. because it wasn't really something like that. But since the conflict about that ended. She then just tells Arithia about it.

"There are scientists who created this one space named 'Quantum Memory' and planted it inside of someone's brain. Everything just worked well until one day, an American secret aimed to steal this technology and labeled this as a dangerous weapon. Make a conflict and attack the person who this Quantum Memory. But that person protected it along with his comrades and survived that attack. But he then found out that all of his comrades died from that attack just to save him. It then makes him really frustrated by it and makes him decide to destroy the Quantum Memory along with all his senses, which is a death. But suddenly there's this one person who been told to conquer his heart and save him. And with that, she succeeded and saved both that person and Quantum Memory. With that, I and that person become a king and a queen of that quantum memory."

Arithia heard the story, and she was so picked up by it. She then asked Hirumi if Hirumi was so happy that she was able to do that. Hirumi then smiled and nodded. She tells Arithia that there are always a lot of things that happen in their lives. It's not like they choose it to happen. But even if they don't choose it to happen, there's always a reason for that to happen in their life. She was so happy and proud as she was able to save that person, and that's enough. She has no regret about it.

Arithia cut the carrot and smiled. She tells Hirumi that she was so happy to hear that. With that, Arithia then asks Hirumi if she would like to have a tour around this kingdom. Because she was so sure that there are still a lot of things that they want to see around.

Hirumi nods her head and then tells Arithia that she would be happy to join, and suddenly Ai walks in and says, "Oh, finally a walk? I'm sure that Mika and Mireha are going to enjoy this." Arithia nods in agreement, and she then finishes the cooking with Hirumi and tells Ai to call everyone to eat before they take a tour around.

I understand it, and she then calls for everyone, and they all dig in before they go for a tour.

They all commented about how good the food that Arithia and Hirumi prepared for them was, and everyone seemed to be excited as they heard about a trip that they were about to do around the kingdom. So they all try to finish the food as soon as possible.

After the food was done, they all washed their plates and then got their items packed up for the tour around the kingdom.

Hikari calls for the horse and carriage, and they all get into the carriage for the tour while Hikari riding the horse with Aikari at the front.

Aikari, take the rope and tell Hikari that he can control the horse, as he has done it before. So Hikari then just let Aikari control the horse, and they all rode all the way around the kingdom.

Hirumi and Aikari watch the scenery and place around the kingdom again, but this time they go to a farm and a place where the workers are doing their job.

Hikari and Arithia brought some meals for the workers, and they both then stopped by and passed them to the workers as they passed next to them. The workers all give Hikari and Arithia a bow as their thanks, and they then continue their work as Hikari and Arithia go to another place.

Aikari and Hirumi looked at their kindness, and it just made them smile. Aikari smiled at the worker as the worker looked at him, and then they all went to another place.

They then stopped the tour on the lake that is near there. Mika and Mireha came out of the carriage, and they both then took out their weapons. 

When Aikari saw that, he also wanted to draw his weapon, but Hikari heldhim from doing that, and he then told Aikari to just sit down and watch. Aikari got it, and just watch it.

They all then get off the horse and watch Mika and Mireha. Mika took out his big sword, and Mireha changed her form into a human size and began to cast something as everyone saw that the water was shaking.

A tornado then slowly appeared that caused the water to splashut around there. But it doesn't hit any of them. It doesn't give them any damage, and Hikari then says to Mika,.

"I'm going to take off my invisibility range from you and Mireha. Are you ready, Mika?"

Mika then shows a thumbs-up to Hikari and says,

"I'm ready to take down this monster, Papa."

Suddenly a white glow wears down from Mika and Mireha, and they can see something emerge from the lake. 

They then saw creatures with fish skin but in a human body. The creature was holding a spear and looked at Mika. He then asks Mika.

"Why are you here? I thought I had warned everyone not to enter this place."

Mika then gets into his ready stance and says,.

"Kruvia, I'm going to take you down. We promised that we would duel, didn't we?"

Kruvia then smiled, and he then awakened his power and caused his body to grow bigger. The aura also appeared on its body, and he then told Mika to step in the lake.

Mika got it, and as he was walking to Kruvia, suddenly his armor and weapon changed as Mireha touched his shoulder. His armor also glows white, and he then steps on the stage. 

Kruvia looked at Mika, and he smiled as he saw how much Mika had evolved. He then says to Mika, "So this is what you have reached after beating Rudhal? Well, I can't comment much on that. Let's begin this duel!"

Kruvia then charged into Mika and caused the water to split into two just from the wind that came out from his dash. Mika then blocked the attacks, and he took out a small sword from his heavy sword and hit Kruvia.

But Kruvia successfully dodged the attack, and he stood in front of the Mika. He then asks Mika if he was never expecting to see that kind of weapon. Mika is holding a heavy sword in his right hand and a sword in his left hand.

He could see the bright light as Mika pulled out that sword. And he then smiled. 

They both then began to dash into each other and fought more seriously.
