Watashi No Hanayome's

36

Ctajugg.

The two of them clashed swords with the full power they had, and it caused a sizable wave of wind that shattered the ranks of the demon soldiers who were watching the fight of the two of them, from afar.

After a while, the two of them bounced a few meters back. "(smile) You're really strong, you're different from the person I've fought before. You're the one who deserves to beat me." (Generic)

"Don't say much you fuck!!!" Hiroaki again approached Shima and attacked her repeatedly.

His attack is so powerful that it overwhelms Shima to fend off all of her attacks. But even so, he could withstand all those attacks. "I thought you were the one who deserved to beat me. All right, it's my turn." Shima quickly retaliates against Hiroaki's attack.

Hiroaki tries to fend off all of Shima's attacks that are on him. "God..." Despite that, Shima's attack was very fast and there were some attacks that she couldn't handle and that left her body injured. 

"Great, you're really great. (excited) You can still stand up after receiving the attack. In that case, I'll see if you can still survive my next attack."  Shima again attacked Hikari.

Unlike the previous attack, this time he attacked vertically and when Hiroaki was tackling the attack.

Jdduuoaarr. Sfx: explosion.

There was a large explosion caused by the collision of the two Hiroaki swords with Shima's swords, and the explosion caused a large hole around them, which was quite large, and also there was a very strong wind that made the bodies of the soldiers and also the demon soldiers in this area crashed.

------- A few moments later ------------

Hiroaki was still able to stand up after fending off such a powerful attack. Seeing that, Shima immediately jumped backwards. "He managed to resist my attack, and I was very surprised he was still able to stand. I think this (smiling) human being deserves to be my rival." 

"Haha. Great, you're so great. You are the one who deserves to be my rival, the strongest demon lord. Haha...."

"Shut your mouth!! I'll make you sorry for doing something like this." Hiroaki quickly attacked right towards Shima's stomach, and Shima easily dodged his attack.

Hiroaki turned around and again attacked Shima horizontally with great force. Shima attacks Hiroaki, but even though Shima manages to fend him off he bounces off due to Hikari's strong attack.

Duaarrr. Sfx: explosion.

It formed a large enough hole right where Shima bounced due to Hiroaki's powerful attack.

----

"I think I managed to beat... That's why..." I spewed blood from my mouth and it proved that my body was no longer strong. 

Shima stood up again and did not get a scratch. "N-can't be.."

"Your attack just now, almost left me with a serious injury. But, it's a good thing that I used reinforcement magic just as you attacked me with your deadly attack."

My consciousness began to dissipate, and I tried to remain standing with my sword as a support for my body that began to fall."Tsk... Damnit... Is this my only ability.. Rin, Emilia, it looks like I'll catch up with you two soon..." My body began to weaken and the longer my vision began to blur.

I fell down because my body was getting weaker every second. "Is this the only ability you have. Though I really hope a lot in this battle, but it seems you are the same as the others. But, I'm quite happy because you made me feel a fierce fight that I've never felt before." Shima is approaching me. "And before you die, I want to know what your name is?"

"Na-name?..." 

"Name, yeah. It doesn't seem to matter anymore, because I'm going to meet my death soon."

"... Hiroaki."

"Hiroaki's... Well, as my last tribute to you. I'll let you die without feeling any pain with this sword."

"So, like this is the end." Shortly after, I was unconscious.

Because Hiroaki fainted, the color of his sword and hair returned to its original state.

Shima prepares to kill the unconscious Hiroaki using her sword. "Good bye." Shima directly pointed her sword towards Hiroaki and... 

Splaassh.

A water-type magic attack pointed right at Shima, and it made Shima retreat a few meters back. "Who dares to bother me!!"

"Don't touch Hiroaki-sama!!" Lia came to the battle site alone, and she left Sia who was guarding Rin and Emilia.

"Ohh. Looks like you're weaker than him, and since you're bothering me enough, I'll get you done first." Shima leaves Hiroaki and chooses to approach Lia to kill him first.

"The manifestation of the sea god, Dragon water." Lia used the high-level water magic she mastered to try to defeat Shima.

"Hoo... High-level water magic, yes. It seems a little interesting."

"FEEL THIS!!!!" Lia unleashed a high-level magic right at Shima who was walking closer towards her.

Slasshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Shima easily slashed and broke Lia's high-level magic. "N-can't be.."

"It's just like high water magic. It's disappointing." Shima is getting closer to Lia.

Lia tried to use all the magic she had, but it had no effect on Shima. "HIROAKI-SAMA!!! I beg.."

Shima who was already very close to Lia then strangled Lia's neck so that Lia had difficulty breathing. "H-Hi-roa-ki-sa-s.."

Duaarrr.

"What's that explosion? (confused)" A large explosion occurs right where Hiroaki collapsed, and because of that Shima releases her hand from Lia's neck and sees what is going on. 

Shima turned around and saw something very surprising. "Haha...." 

"'Uhuk-uhuk' (coughs) Hi-Hiroaki-sama.."

Hiroaki, who had fainted, suddenly woke up. "Great, you are amazing.."

But in contrast to before, Hikari's hair and eye color turned blue like the color of a dragon sword. "Ahhhhhhhhh.. I think I'm a little late." (Hiro)

Hiroaki acted as if he was a different person. Seeing that, Shima quickly attacked Hiroaki.  "Receive this!!!"

"Huh?" Hiroaki turned around and saw Shima who was quickly charging towards him. 

He dodged Shima's attack very easily. "Is that the guy?" 

"I was expecting from a rival.. You won't lose easily. Then, raise your sword and let's fight me again. Haha...."

"It looks like he's the one." Hiroaki took out both of his swords that were nearby. 

Instantly he disappeared from Shima's sight. "Where is he? (confused)" 

"I'm behind you." Shima looked behind him, and Hiroaki was ready to strike horizontally quickly.

Duaarr.

Shima still had time to resist Hiroaki's attack and he bounced. "What a pain..." (Hiroaki) Shima bounced very fast right towards Lia.

Hiroaki suddenly disappears and he appears before Lia. "Hi-Hiroaki-sama.."

Hiroaki gave an attack to Shima who was moving towards him due to his attack just now. 

Crtaakk

Duaarrr.

Shima's armor cracked and she bounced towards the demon soldiers who were repairing her lines.

"Uhukis. Y-you're more me-at than ever.." Shima stood up again. 

"Do you still want to continue this futile fight? And if you still want to continue this fight, I can't guarantee you'll survive my next attack. Besides, my help will be here soon.." Hiroaki's way of speaking is different from before, and right now he looks like a different person.

"Help, yes. W-Like, for now, I will admit my defeat. Ta-pi, I will still look forward to our next p-fight. THE ARMY!! BACK OFF!!" Shima gave a warning to his troops to retreat, the rest of the demon army present in this area retreated and they returned to the demon continent, the demon continent, and Shima suffered quite serious injuries from the attack that Hiroaki had just done.

"Haaa... Akhin's done"

"W-who are you? And, where's Hiroaki-sama?" (Lie)

"Ahhhhhhhhh.. I'm Hiroaki.."

"No, you're not the Hiroaki-sama I know.."

"Hmmm... You realize it, yes. In that case, you can assume that I am the other side of your master. (hugging the head + withstood the pain) Se-seems like my time is up. See you soon." Hiroaki who was originally fine, suddenly collapsed unconscious.

"Hiroaki-sama!! (panicked)" Lia approached Hiriaki, and she brought him into the kingdom.

Grooaarrr.

The Alpha Dragon came along with Shin. They went down right in front of Lia. "I think I'm late."

"Sir, please help me. (panic) What happened with Hiroaki-sama.."

Shin looked towards Hiroaki. "Oh, yeah. At least I understand a small part of the problem he is currently experiencing."

"Do you know something?.."

"Hmmm... It seems so, but... We'd better take him home first.."

"What about Hiroaki-sama's situation, he was acting very strange..."

"He's fine, you don't have to worry." Shin lifted Hiroaki up onto the back of the Alpha dragon. "Hey you.. Don't forget to bring your master's sword."

"Good." Lia also easily took both of Hiroaki's swords. And after that, Lia went up to the back of the Alpha dragon.

Shin and Lia reached in front of the south gate, and Shin brought Hiroaki down from above the Alfa dragon. "Your highness. (panic)" (warrior) Seeing it instantly helped them and brought Hiroaki into the palace.

------- After hours of fainting ------------

[First Person]

In the morning, 06:44

I slowly opened my eyes. "Where am I?" I see something familiar in my sight right now. "Is this in my room?"

I try to get up and make sure. "Geez.." But, as I tried to wake up, my eyes suddenly hurt.

Someone opened the room door, and entered the room.

"Hi-Hiroaki-sama."

"Hiro.."

Lia and Sia went into my camp. "Hiroaki-san. Thank goodness you realize, I'm so worried about you.."

"Hiro, are you okay?"

The pain in my head subsided and I decided to get up. "I-I'm fine. What about the demon?"

"They've all retreated, and they've chosen to surrender."

"Oh, yeah." I'm pretty upset to let them get away with it. "What about Rin and Emilia?"

"Pardon me Hiroaki-sama.."

"What's going on? Why are you apologizing."

"Look at Hiro, they're both down by someone."

"What!!! Who is that guy?"

"I'm sorry Hiroaki-sama..I tried to stop that guy. But, the dragon lord said not to stop him."

"Master of the dragon?" I don't know why it reminds me of someone.

"And the one who took Miss Rin and Miss Emilia away, and to tell you something."

"Something? What'sthat?"

"He said. 'Go to the demon forest in the demon continent in the eastern area'. I don't know what he meant. But, after saying that, he disappeared along with Miss Rin da as well as Miss Emilia."

"so.." I was quite happy because the person Lia meant was the god Sha.

"You look pretty calm Hiro.. Do you know who that guy is?"

"It seems so.."

"Oh yes Hiroaki-sama... There's something I forgot to say."

"What?"

"The person who brought Miss Rin and Miss Emilia, said. 'If he can't bring the dead back to life', and he also says that you shouldn't bother him."

"Oh, yeah. It turns out he can't." I also stood up and went out of the room and went to the throne room. I don't know why I just want to go to that room for now.

------- A few minutes later -----------

 I also reached the throne room, and there were quite a number of people in this room. Without thinking about anything I sat down on the king's seat, and just looked at the person in this room blankly.

One of the men approached me. "Y-his majesty. I am very sorry about the incident that happened to Queen Rin and also queen Emilia." (prime minister)

"It is impossible to bring to life the dead.." After saying that, silence enveloped this room. "It seems impossible, yes. Even gods can't do that."

"Sorry your honor. But, I once heard a legend about a fruit that could bring to life the dead. But I don't know if that's true or not. To date, no one has ever found the fruit. But, I am sure that in this world there is such a fruit, your majesty."

"Oh, yeah." I thought it was an opportunity, but I thought it was a waste. Lord Sha alone could not make people come back to life, let alone say that the fruit could resurrect a dead person. "A very painful joke." 

When I got here, I hadn't seen Inori at all. "Lia, where's Inori?"

"No-nona Inori... He shut himself in his room, after seeing Miss Rin and Miss Emilia taken away by the man. The man also said something to Miss Inori, and after that Miss Inori went straight to her room."

It seemed like the god Sha said something to Inori, and upon seeing such a thing, Inori might just go berserk, and since such a thing did not happen, it was possible for Inori to go on a rampage, perhaps the god Sha had already said something that made Inori feel calm.

I looked back at the people in the room with a blank look.

"Omong empty what you told the king. It was just a legend, and the legend was never proven to be true." (another high)

The two of them began to argue. "The predecessors once said that the fruit was in the devil's forest."

"But no one has ever proved that truth. And that's just some bullshit spoken by the predecessors to fool us."

"Woy woy, if it's not over. This conversation will cause trouble."

"What did you say.."

I'm standing too. "That's enough, I don't want to fuss about something like that."

"Please, my majesty's apologies." (both men who quarreled)

"Then you can all disperse." I don't really know what they're all doing here, but it looks like they just want to talk about this shit.

"Okay, your honor." All the people in this room came out, and only I, Lia, Sia, and Rune were left in front of me.

"May you all get out of here. Right now I want to be alone."

"But Hiro.."

"All right Hiroaki-sama."

"Good, brother."

"Then I'll go. But, if you need anything, just call me." (That)

"Thank you." The three of them came out of this room, and I was alone in this room.

"Well.. Fruit that can bring the dead back to life, yes. Something that a god cannot do, can be done by a fruit." Saying that, makes me laugh a little.

But, I remember that the prime minister said about the demon forest, and the god Sha also said about the demon forest. "Is this just a coincidence? No.." And in retrospect, Sha said only that he could not bring the dead back to life, and he did not say that there was no way to bring the dead back to life. "Maybe this is my chance.. Such a fruit may exist, and the god Sha has also told me his place. I need to find him immediately." I also immediately came out of this room. 

"Hikari-sama, are you going again?" Lia was standing next to the door.

"Yes, I'm going." Looks like Lia's trying to get in my way.

"That's it, yeah. Then, may you succeed, Hiroaki-sama."

I didn't think that Lia wasn't planning to stop me. "What's Lia doing?"

"T-nothing, Hiroaki-sama. It's just..."

"Just?"

"I know how you feel right now, because I used to have a family, and all my family was killed by the demon lord during the interracial war."

"Oh, yeah. Hmmm..." I immediately thought of something surprising. "T-t-wait a minute, he just said interracial war... I have to make sure of something."

"L-Lia, how old are you right now."

"Ehh..? My age.. If not wrong, less than 600 years."

"Whataa!!!! (shock)" 

"That's it, yeah. Haha.."

"What is Hiroaki-sama?"

"T-there's nothing... It's just, I'm surprised that you've been alive for over half a century."

"so... Our race is long-lived. We are different from the demon race as well as humans, we are like an elf race that can be up to thousands of years old."

"Be-so... I just found out.." And I just found out that the demon race doesn't live long. "Thank you for cleaning me up.. I'm leaving now, I leave this kingdom to you and the runes."

"All right, Hiroaki-sama."

I left, and I also went back to my room to get my sword, and also on the way this time I also used the jacket I was wearing before, because I thought it was pretty cool for me.

Right now I am on the back of dragon Shura and I am on my way to the demon forest just like what god Sha said. "I hope there I find something that I really want, something that can be used to save them both."
