Unexpected Reincarnation

20 Beginning of the Battle

Inside an abandoned house that has long been uninhabited, there are two figures sitting in a room that seems to be a living room, one of them was wearing a mask that covered his entire face with silver hair and the other was wearing a robe covering his entire body, as he opened the hood of his robe was seen pointed ears with his golden hair.

The two people who were in this place somewhere were discussing something about how they got out of here.

"So, what should we do now? "

I started talking to this girl.

"Unfortunately what else can we do, that barrier is too strong to be forcefully breached at our current level"

This girl expressed her opinion while pointing out through the window, outside there was a barrier that isolated everything inside to get out including the two of us.

"Oh yeah, I still don't know your name, I'm leo and you? "

Even though it wasn't my real name but my mother always called me by that name.

"You can call me ilya"

It looks like he also hid his real name from me but it doesn't matter because I have no interest in it either.

"By the way ilya-

" What? "

"Didn't you owe me something? "

"What do you mean? I don't get it"

"Did you forget that you tried to kill me at our first meeting? "

I don't even see any reason for him to do that.

"Aah"

It seems he remembered it.

"So-about that, well you know, someone with a weird mask in nowhere, isn't that very suspicious"

He tried to explain nervously, his eyes that couldn't look at me as he explained proved that he was feeling guilty.

He continued, saying that he had stopped for a moment.

"Truly, isn't everyone going to do what I did in that situation, so it's not entirely my fault, you're in this too"

Even though she knew that she was wrong but she tried to deny it and she even tried to blame me, this girl was really selfish.

"Just think of it that way"

Fyuhhh

This girl let out a long sigh while stroking her chest, signaling the burden she felt a while ago had completely disappeared. His guilty expression just now had also vanished as if it had never existed.

"But even so, isn't the person with the cloak that covers his entire body while attacking others without cause even more suspicious? "

"Ahahaha leo, there's no need to think about the past"

"You can talk like that because you're not the victim"

"Yes yes, I'm sorry okay, are you satisfied now? "

In the end he beat his ego and apologized to me even though his apology seemed very clear that he was not sincere.

"As far as you know, I never apologize, but for you I did it, shouldn't you be happy? "

Glad to have your hand, all I feel is a feeling of annoyance from you.

"Ahhhh, whatever, just forget about it. Let's get back to business"

With that the previous problem was solved and there is only one more problem, the way how to get out of this place and about something that caught my attention before I no longer care, I don't feel that feeling anymore either.

"Now, do you know how we got out of this barrier? "

"There are three ways for us to get out"

"Hmmm, more than I thought"

"The first is to destroy this barrier with greater force"

"That's impossible now"

"Second is by defeating this barrier maker"

"I'm not sure about beating that Lich"

"Three wait until this barrier maker releases its own magic"

For now, beating the Lich seems like the most reasonable option, but I'm really not sure if we can beat him.

"Hey ilya, you know more about Lich than I do, what you think our win percentage is if we fight with her."

"Maybe about 30 percent"

Lower than I expected, I thought it would get a figure at 50 percent in our prime.

"But-but

Hmmmm

" Since the Lich was a being that fully relied on magic to fight, so she was weak with direct attacks "

"If it's true as you say, the chances of us winning will increase"

"Well like you said, but that magic from the Lich is usually curse-type magic, if we hit it just once we might end up"

"So in short, the first party to successfully launch an attack was the winner? "

"Yes you can think of it that way"

After that we continued our break until we recovered well before facing the Lich.

This girl, I didn't pay much attention at first but her pointed ears were a little unusual.

"By the way you haven't said the reason why you're here, have you? "

"I actually ran away from home"

His expression as he said that looked quite sad.

"Why? "

"My parents want me to marry someone I don't like"

Old man dad? Maybe I won't understand that feeling, because I haven't seen my parents since I was a baby.

"So you chose to run? "

"Yes, and when I ran away I brought some artifacts like the rapier I used before, but unfortunately I forgot to bring the money"

"It still doesn't explain why you're here"

"If it's that, on the way, I heard rumors about the treasure stored in the abandoned castle, and well after that I should have known the continuation when I met you"

"Didn't your parents worry about you, ilya? "

"Worry? Nonsense, all they think about is themselves and imposing their will on me under the pretext of being for my good, what kind of parents do they think? "

He was angry when he explained his situation

He seems to have a bad relationship with his parents. Actually he looks pretty funny when he's angry like that.

"At least you still have those who worry about you"

"The leo? "

"What's not it, I want to take a short nap to recover my energy first, wake me up if anything happens? "

"All right then"

What's wrong with her? He looked gloomy as I told my story, does he sympathize with me? But just now, it seemed like he had his own story, though, I wanted to know about it because maybe I could help him but would he tell me if we were strangers who happened to be in the same boat.

The night passed and the morning had arrived, we both had fully recovered and it was time to face the ruler of this place.

"Hey did something happen last night? "

"Nothing's going on, it's just that you slept so adorable last night"

He tried to tease me with a little bit of his fad, not bad either because with this the gloom of the situation was slightly reduced.

"How do you know when I'm wearing a mask, huh? "

"Don't you know that the eyes of the elves are so sharp? "

"Just listen, then let's defeat the creature! "

"Yes!! "

After that we excitedly headed to the castle where the Lich was...
