Chapter 55 Kyousai"s Selfish Idea "Eh, what …? So…"
Kyousai was stunned.
The reason was…….
“How… How did you read this letter?”
Yes, Zero held a book read by Kyousai …
―――――― She read a book written in j.a.panese.
Zero staring at the j.a.panese.
"Hey, Zero. What the h.e.l.l is that?"
“I don"t know.”
Kyousai asked once again and Zero couldn"t answer, but before saying it, the answer came back from Zero.
Then, Zero moved a few steps away from Kyousai and put her hand on her head with the hand that didn"t hold the book.
“How…? How …? I haven"t seen such a character … Why can I read it?”
“Zero……?”
"I "m sorry, Shujin… Let me think alone for a while."
Zero leaned on the bookshelf. Kyousai watched such Zero silently. No, it would be more appropriate to say that he was thinking about Zero"s true ident.i.ty.
However…….
(No, it"s useless … there"s too little information …)
No matter how much he thought, there was no contact between Zero and j.a.pan.
(Maybe the other world where Zero went was j.a.pan. But… If that was the case, then she should immediately remember it.)
Kyousai saw Zero again. At that time, Zero sighed.
“Huh … no, I can"t remember no matter how much I think. I can"t read it anymore, even if I see this character again … It"s really unconsciously reading it out.”
Saying that she returned the book to Kyousai with a wry smile.
"Yes, this. I "m sorry, to take it without permission."
“It"s okay …”
“Oh … I"m glad if you don"t ask me about that …”
Zero, predicted to be questioned by Kyousai"s expression before Kyousai asked.
“……Really.”
“Yeah … I"m sorry”
It was the first time that Kyousai saw Zero laughing so weakly, so he was pulled down.
"By the way, how are they doing?"
Kyousai"s "they" was referring to the slaves.
"Oh, yes."
“Zero, the review of the Makai language is over”
“Oh, Luna. Good work."
When Zero was about to say, Luna came out.
“Well, Luna has already learned …”
Kyousai was astounded by Luna, who finished her review of the magic language in this short time.
“Oh, no. I"m still a long way off. Mishsan and Leisan are about to end their next spirit language. At first, I managed to keep up with their speed, but…”
“It"s suddenly getting into a fight…” Well, there"s nothing better than being able to learn it quickly and accurately.”
Zero added with a wry smile.
“Well, that"s what it is. Oh, but it"s all going to be over today!"
“Yes, do your best”
Kyousai gently stroked Luna"s lively head.
"Oh! Yes!"
She said and left with patter. After confirming that Luna had left, Kyousai turned to zero. However, he felt uncomfortable with Zero"s atmosphere.
“What"s going on?”
Zero"s cheeks were a little inflated, she looked in a bad mood.
“Nothing.”
And even though she said that Zero saw at Kyousai with eyes that appeal to something. Kyousai thought that there was a cause in the exchange with Luna.
(Oh … no way …)
Kyousai approached Zero silently and stroked her head as gently as Luna.
“Hey…”
Zero"s mood was restored at once as she was patted gently. Kyousai smiled at Zero"s change.
"Eh, Zero."
“Hmm?”
Kyousai stopped stroking Zero and tried to talk.
“Ah……”
Zero looked at Kyousai"s hand with regret. However, if he kept stroking more than that, the story will not proceed, so Kyousai talked again.
“Why did you need me for?”
“Oh, that was right”
Zero returned to her usual self … No, she asked Kyousai with a more serious look.
“I think it"s impossible … Shujin, did you put a command curse on Luna? ”
“No, it wasn"t me.”
Kyousai answers while looking closely at Zero"s eyes. Looking at such Kyousai, Zero forced a smile.
"Ah, you don"t have to stare like this, I trust you. I asked just in case."
That said, Zero was a little relieved.
"Speaking of which, Zero, can you erase this Command course?”
“Yes, I can do it.”
“If so, can you erase it?”
“It"s okay, but… As long as Shujin continues to be Luna"s master, it doesn"t matter whether she has the Command curse or not, right? ”
“I don"t like it …Isn"t the Command curse torture in this world?”
“…Yes. I think the majority think it"s better to die than to be cursed with that.”
Kyousai knew little about the command curse. However, Misha, Leia, and Zero said so far, so he thought it was true.
“That"s why I want to save Luna from the spell.”
“……Shujin.”
Zero gently put her hand on Kyousai"s cheeks.
“Oh, oy…”
Kyousai intended to be calm, but he was a little impatient when he saw Zero"s sad eyes. Zero slowly opened her mouth.
"Shujin is really good at acting, but … you can"t fool my eyes."
“What does it mean?”
“Shujin, are you going to release us someday?”
“…”
"Look. Only the eyes are honest."
Saying that Zero left Kyousai.
“You"ve been keeping some distance from us lately, haven"t you?”
“…”
Kyousai couldn"t say anything. It was only a matter of time before he got away with it, but she still knew it.
“Shujin is a really kind person… But that kindness sometimes hurts people desperately. Be aware of that.”
Zero said so firmly, looking at Kyousai"s eyes. Kyousai answered with a firm eye.
"… They are already strong. It"s time to let them out of the chain."
“Shujin is not a chain”
“I"m not alien to this world anymore. So, there"s no point worrying about them."
“It doesn"t matter if you"re not familiar with it or not. They need a master.”
“They"re not slaves. I don"t want them to live as slaves.”
"Shujin"s life is richer than the aristocrats around here and there.”
“They are … they are —”
“Shujin!!”
Zero took Kyousai"s hand and shouted.
“Hey, let me hear what you really mean… Doesn"t Shujin want to be with us?”
“I want to stay… If I can, it"ll be forever.”
"Why do you say that? Why do you want to keep us away from happiness?"
Zero was half-crying. When he saw such Zero, his heartaches.
“Even if it"s a lie…Thank you for saying that. ”
"Oh!"
As soon as Kyousai said, a tear flew on Zero"s cheek.
"That"s … for me… a lie…"
“Zero it isn"t a lie.”
At that time, Misha appeared from the shadows.
"We all want to be with Kyousai sama from the bottom of our hearts."
Leia and Luna appear after Misha. They were worried about Zero"s cry and they come to see.
“I should have said it when I first met you, didn"t I? I"ll keep up with Goshujin sama for the rest of my life. Even if I"m a slave… Even if I"m not, I"m ready to follow you for the rest of my life.”
Leia said with a smile.
“I don"t know Nushi sama well yet. But I love Nushi sama. The command curse should remain embedded for a long time, rather than stay away from Nushi sama.”
Perhaps Luna was listening to what he had just said. To prove it, Luna"s clothes were wrinkled around her chest.
When Luna finished, Zero squeezed the hand he was holding and opened her mouth.
“You understand this …? We need a master … So, isn"t it better to stop thinking about breaking up?”
Kyousai was stunned for a few seconds. However, he regained immediately.
"It"s rare for Zero to rush to a conclusion"
"I don"t want to leave Shujin."
Not only zero, but also Misha, Leia, and Luna nodded firmly.
Watching such a situation, Kyousai snorted.
“It"s like I was the one who was rushing the conclusion.”
“Then …!”
Zero stared at Kyousai with sparkling eyes. He smiled unintentionally and continued speaking.
"Oh, you want to stay under me for a while?"
“Yes!"
Forgetting that this was the library, the dependents responded loudly. Needless to say, they became more intimate.
