A few days passed, morning.
Dining room.
“Lia, where's Hiroaki?”
“Nona Emilia, Hiroaki-sama is at the park.”
“So..” Hearing that, they became gloomy.
Meanwhile.
In garden.
I'm trying to enjoy the quiet here. “Haa, this is very, sucks.” I couldn't even sleep because of that memory, it was as if it kept haunting me. “When this will end.” I think my current mental state is getting worse, if left unchecked it might be dangerous. “I have to find a way to deal with it.” But, until now I have found nothing.
----------------
“God Sha, isn't he a little depressed?”
“Leave it alone, this includes the exams he has to pass.”
“Pray, yes.”
“I've been kind enough not to let her family get hurt, but I've only slightly planted that memory on her. The rest depends on him, if he can survive and get used to it then his mentality will be destroyed, but otherwise if he cannot survive then his consciousness will be lost.”
“No other choice but 2 things it?”
“God Yu, I never gave her a choice but she herself had to choose the choice she would choose that. Good and bad that choice, at least he has chosen it.”
“Not the test this time is too heavy for him?”
“I've lost Ai for hundreds of years. I've let him along with his complete family, am I still not good? Besides god Yu, you're too gentle as usual. I don't like that, but at least choose the right time. This is a test, if I make it easy then this cannot be said as a test.”
“Haa, okay. But, if something unexpected happens to you? What are you gonna do?”
“I'll do what I need to do, that's it.”
“So.”
-------------
“H-Hiroaki.”
“Emi, yes. What's up?”
“The sun is almost setting, you'd better get in. Otherwise, you'll get the flu.”
“In a moment, I want to be here a little longer.”
“So.” Emilia's gone.
In the palace.
Administration room.
“Emilia, what's wrong? What happened to you?” (By)
“(crying) I can't anymore. I'm not strong if I see it like it keeps.”
“Emilia, relax.” (Sia) Sia tried to calm Emilia down. “At the moment we are also working hard so that he can return to his normal state. You calm down.”
“But, if it looks like this continues, I am not strong anymore.”
A few days after that.
Morning, the royal garden.
“Hi-chan, open your mouth.” Right now Rin is trying to feed Hiroaki. But he did not eat at all the food that Rin had fed him.
“Hi-chan, you have to eat, otherwise you will get sick.”
No answer from him.
“Hi-chan, I'll take a drink first.” Rin's gone.
Inside the palace, the dining room
“Rin, how?” (That)
“Sorry, but he didn't touch his meal at all. If it keeps going like this, I'm afraid he'll get sick.”
“Mama, what really happened to papa? Why didn't you answer when I called?”
“Mama don't know.”
Currently, they had started to despair as they had yet to find a solution to cure Hiroaki, and the more things got worse and worse.
A few days later.
Hiroaki was lying weakly in his room.
“Ahh, this is so annoying, this memory is constantly pouring. Even when I realized I still remembered this memory very clearly, it was very boring.” (B)
“Remember? What memory is it?” (By)
“Okay, but at least that's all I can know for now.” Right now, Ai and Sia who possessed great magic energy were trying to send their mana into Hiroaki's body in order to find out what really happened to him, and as a result they only knew about it.
“Ai, Sia, don't you guys get anything else besides that?”
“Can't, other memories are like being discovered in a very safe place. We can not find anything else, if there is a little gap maybe we can see it.”
“Cracks, yes. But, how do we make that gap?”
“I don't know.”
“Wah wah's. Are you so eager to know the memory of your husband.” Lord Sha appeared.
“God.”
“God Sha, do you know anything about what happened to Hiroaki?”
“God, please save him. I beg.”
“God I beg.”
“I can't do it.”
“Not that you're a god, where maybe you can't save him.”
“That could save him only himself, if he chose another option then that choice would be the one he would take. I only served as supervisor.”
“T-Not possible.”
“Oh yes, you guys said want to know what really happened to him’an.”
“God.”
“Then I will show you all his memories. But, first. All you have to do is hold his hand.”
“Good.” They all held Hikari's hand. Emilia and Sia, on the left hand, with Ai and Rin in the right hand.
“Good. Then, close your eyes.” They began to obey what the god Sha said. “Alright, now feel it. Can you see it?”
“I-ini.” (B)
“Remember Hi-chan.” (By)
“Not only memory, but.This feeling is also.” (That)
“Yes, I can feel it. Sad, happy, disappointed, and much more.” (Emilia)
“So, all this time he did all this alone. Very dangerous task like that.”
“I-It...” (Ai)
“Ahh. You guys seem to have seen it.”
“How is it possible.” (Emilia)
“Alright, that's the only memory I can give you.”
“God Sha, the last one was... About me and Ai.” (Emilia)
“If it's a memory, it means he's experienced it before. Don't-don't.”
“Hoo, looks like you guys are starting to know what caused it like this. Then I'll go first. There are still some things I have to do, and it seems you already know what to do.” Lord Sha is gone.
“Ai, Rin, Sia. Come.” (Emilia)
“Good.”
They held Hikari's hand. “I beg you, work.” They simultaneously began to cast a great magic on Hiroaki.
A while later.
“I-That, already visible. The memory is already visible.” (Emilia)
“We just need to remove it, that way, Hi-chan will return as usual. Everyone, let's do.” (By)
“Good.”
---------------
Meanwhile.
‘Haa, it's boring, this memory just keeps bothering me.’ I don't know what's going on with my body right now, but I'm definitely in my subconscious right now. ‘Repeating this continuously, I'm already bored.’ I don't know how many millions of times this memory haunts me, and somehow now I feel I don't care anymore about it.
I'm not throwing away my humanity, I'm just getting used to it. ‘Haa, when will this end.’ This memory, this dream, I hope it ends soon.
--
Morning time.
I slowly opened my eyes. “Huh? What's the matter?” Rin, Emilia, Sia and Ai. They're all in my room. “What are they doing here?” But, it seemed like they were fast asleep. I wanted to leave them but... “My body, can't be moved.” All parts of my body I couldn't move, and I remembered something. “So like this it feels, yes.” Muscle packing.
If something like this happens, it means my body is adjusting. At least that's what happened. “Adjust yourself, yes.”
After a long time after that.
Afternoon.
I planned to wake them up, but since they looked so tired I didn't wake them up until now. After all, I somehow felt comfort when I saw them.
“Emilia, you're up.” The first one to wake up was Emilia.
“H-Hiroaki's chat. K-you really Hiroaki’an.”
“Do I look different?”
“H-Hiroaki... Hiroaki!! (gulf)”
Because Emilia's voice was quite loud, making the others wake up. “Hi-Hi-chan.”
“Sayang..”.
“Sayang.”
“Eh? You guys why?” They suddenly cry.
“K-We're okay. We're just glad you're okay.”
“So.” I don't really understand it, but I think I've made them anxious. “Emi, can you release me.”
“Wait, in a minute.”
“Haa, it's up to you.”
A few minutes later, they all left because they wanted to give me some time to rest. I didn't ask them anything because they didn't seem to want to tell me anything. ‘Haa, at least, it will heal in a few days.’
“Yo.” Lord Sha suddenly appeared in my room. “How are you doing?”
“God Sha, yes. As you can see, I'm experiencing a muscle relaxant.”
“So. If it's for you, such a small thing doesn't matter to you’an.”
“No matter what. If left my life could be in trouble.”
“Then, why don't you ask them to do that to you.”
“I-That's because..”
“Hmmm?”
“It, embarrassing.”
“Shame?”
“Try you imagine, I alone have ever done such a thing shamefully for mercy, especially if at this time I will be hugged by them. Wanna put where my face is.”
“Inspicuous reasons. But, stop.”
“Huh?”
“It will heal tomorrow. Oh yeah, a few weeks after this will happen something interesting to you?”
“Hal interesting? What is it?”
“You will get new woman.”
I don't know why I thought of something so horrible. “J-don't joke!! They would definitely kill me if it really happened.”
“Heee, I want to really see it. A person who is even dubbed the strongest king can become scared like that.”
“M-They're a lot scarier when you're angry, and I don't want that to happen.”
“Hahaha. Relax, I'm just kidding.”
“T-Please don't joke with such a thing.”
“Hahaha, fine.”
“Then, about that interesting thing, what will actually happen?”
“I don't want to tell you, anyway if you find out it won't be interesting. Correct’.”
“Truely so anyway, but..”
“Already, I'll go first. I'm just here to see where you are, even though I can do it anywhere.”
“Thanks. Oh yeah, there's something I want to ask you before you go god Sha.”
“Huh? What's up?”
“You said the strongest king? And the person in the meeting also said something like that? What does it mean?”
“As you have heard, at this time the strongest king is you. In other words, in this world no one can beat you.”
“B-It's not a little excessive? Besides, how can I get the nickname of the strongest king while I do absolutely nothing.”
“Did you forget the assault the other day. Maybe not the other day, more the place a few months ago. At the party.”
“Ahhh, you mean it.” When Shin, Felicia, Garden, and Leona fight monsters and demons that are attacking this kingdom first.
“Exterminating the entirety of them is impossible, and it would take at least thousands of high-level cultivators to exterminate all those monsters as well as demons. But, you can do it yourself.”
“It's not because of Ryuga, and I also imitate your great style (annihilation). If I don't use it I might die right then.”
“But, there is no denying that you are the one who has taken over the monsters and demons.”
“Garden, Leona, Shin, and Felicia were also there to help me. That means they also get an impact like me’.”
“(smile) Yes, that's it. For Garden as well as Leona, they are now knight-level adventurers (SS).”
(If you forgot : Beginner level adventurer – D. Adventurer Senior level – C. Adventurer level Master – B. Adventurer level Elite – A. Top level feedback – S. Knight level adventurer – SS. Adventurer legend level – SSS.)
“Wah, it's very great.” Compared to my adventurer level, I was only at C rank. “Then, what about Shin and Felicia?”
“Hmm? For the two of them, they already had the adventurer level of Legend so there was no need for such a thing.”
“Hooo.”
“Already. If there's anything you need, don't call me, yeah. Drug.” Lord Sha is gone.
“If there's something don't contact me, if it's like that why did he say it!!”
