The weak – Toki When I regained consciousness, I was inside that white s.p.a.ce from the dream again.
"I am sorry for making you to push your limit."
I heard that woman"s voice once again. a.s.sam"s mother?
"I have a favor. Please tell them. Shiro miko are born from s.e.xual intercourse without love. I want you to stop His Majesty"s foolish behavior."
It was the story about shiro miko that I could not hear before. This time, I heard it clearly! s.e.xual intercourse without love. If I am right, the king has a lot of concubines and all the children born from them are shiro miko, right?
In other words, does it mean there is no love there? It is terrible! I will tell them as soon as I wake up! I wanted to say this, but it seems that this is a one-way connection.
"His Majesty is doing those foolish actions in order to give even one more sibling to a.s.sam. This is because a.s.sam cannot have a child."
Eh? Is a.s.sam sick?
"It is an obstacle to those with exceptional high magical power. His Majesty and a.s.sam both lack with words. They are misunderstanding that they are being hated by each other. Please do not be swayed by their words and believe in the sounds of the heart. Because the sound of the spirit is the sound of their feelings. When you wake up, you will be able to control your power. There is no more power I can give you. I have to use my soul to compensate the misfortune of shiro miko. I wish you happiness. Take care of your body and your heart……. Tell a.s.sam and Rodon, that, I, love, them……"
In the middle of the sentence, my consciousness returned quickly. The white scenery faded away and, when the weight/gravity returned to my body, I woke up with a jump feeling breathless.
My breath was chaotic as I tried hard to inhale the air. Covering my heart with my hand, I took deep breaths and managed to calm down.
"I have to tell them! The soul of a.s.sam"s mother will disappear!!"
When I looked around, I realized I was in a.s.sam"s room. I wanted to search for a.s.sam or Laham and got out of the bed, then I noticed.
"I"m naked!"
Why!! I rolled myself with the sheets and headed to the door. When I opened it softly, Yarra was right in front of it. Apparently, he was guarding the room.
"Where are you going?"
He pushed me back into the room with only one arm while saying this.
"Call a.s.sam, Laham. Have, important matter!"
"What matter? Both of them are busy. The clothes will be send over here soon. Behave yourself."
Since I saw Laham"s memories, my impression of Yarra has not been good. When I turned on the spirit"s sound as I learned in my dream, I heard an extreme sound of rejection. This person is against me being with a.s.sam.
Oh, it is a good opportunity, let"s look at his memories with Laham. Strangely, I did not feel any guilt from looking Yarra"s memories.
I tried to use my power to see the past being aware of it. As Yarra"s images flowed in front of his eyes, his expression became hardsher.
"The worst."
{T/N: he spoke this in j.a.panese, not the language of this world.} "What? What did you say now?"
Even if he did not understand the words, he probably understood he was being insulted from his tone. There was a sound of anger.
"I don"t know what you said, but I sympathize with your body. However, please break up with His Highness. It can"t be you. Please."
This word seemed to be true. I am not suitable because I am a man, thus I can not have a child. This seemed to be the reason. He does not know that a.s.sam can not have a child.
But the talk will be done when a.s.sam comes. Even if he is a.s.sam"s important aid. Even if he is Laham"s special person, now this person "can not be trusted". First, a.s.sam"s mother"s matter is more important.
"Do, call, a.s.sam. Fast. If not call, will look for him."
"No. Don"t be selfish."
He can not break through by force. Then, there is only one way. Please, be near. Toki inhaled with his all and shouted.
"a.s.samuu—! ! ! Rahamuu—! ! !"
Yarra panicked with this. Hastily, he covered Toki"s mouth with his big hands.
"Be quiet!!"
"Nn!!"
It is painful! Yarra is huge with his two meters (6,5ft). Such a man"s hand was, of course, large, blocking not only Toki"s mouth, but also his nose. Yarra seemed to be agitated and so he did not notice it.
Although there is a small gap between the fingers, it is quite painful. No, more……
When Toki"s consciousness was going to fade, the door of the room was opened roughly and a.s.sam and Laham came in. Yarra was startled and finally his hand released him, and Toki began to cough.
"— — — Kh, cough cough, cough."
"Your Highness, the recovery magic!"
"[Heal.] Toki! Toki! Breath slowly."
Pushing Yarra aside, a.s.sam and Laham came to his side. He calmed down his lungs after being casted healing magic and obeyed a.s.sam"s words.
"Yarra, what were you doing? You almost killed Toki-sama now."
"No, I did not mean to. It"s a misunderstanding!"
"You were blocking Toki-sama"s mouth and nose just now. If he can not breath, even a person from another world will die! I am putting you in the prision. I can not trust you."
"Wrong! Listen to me!"
When Laham wanted to detain Yarra, a voice stopping him sounded.
"Laham, do to wait*."
*{T/N: do "to wait".} It was Toki. Now, they did not have time. Besides, if they put Yarra in the dungeon, he could not save Laham properly.
"Yarra, later. a.s.sam, Laham, have, important, matter. Do to listen. a.s.sam, it"s okay. Do not do angry. Yarra, weak. The heart is the weakest. That"s why, Yarra later."
a.s.sam has been chanting recovery magic for Toki until now. Hearing Toki"s words, the sound of anger ceased. Instead, Yarra"s angry sound began to rang. Noisy! It is off for Yarra! Toki waited for a.s.sam"s sound to settle before he began to talk.
