CH 19.4

(…… I did it……)

I managed to exploit a hole in the system… or did I? Are my actions just something that The Goddess had already predicted from a long time ago and I am just dancing on top of her hand?

I don’t know the truth but, changing Riona’s job comes first. After hesitating for a moment, I change Riona’s job. I changed her job while getting my heart ready for a chance where she would refuse it in the last minute.

“Ugh…… Agh…… Hi-Hiroto-chan…… My body is…… A… AAAAAAAHHH……!”

The wings that are growing from her back start to disintegrate into various unknown black letters then completely dispersed from sight.

By losing those pairs of devil wings, Riona has returned back to her previous self. She falls down as she lost her consciousness so I quickly catch her body into my embrace. Her body is warm and her breathing is normal.

---- And then, at that moment when I finally feel relieved.

“What the…… Riona……!”

I can’t do anything besides calling for her name but her consciousness doesn’t seem to return soon. While I am worrying about Riona’s condition, that nightmarish log entry is fleetingly disappears as it has expired its appearance time.

“…… Just how much more will you toy with people until you feel satisfied……!”

I managed to stop her Demonification process…… and yet, like sneering at my effort, Riona got her memory sealed.

Riona gradually opens her eyes. What kind of memories that got sealed from her? I somehow could guess what it is.

“…… Giving me power…… while making Hina a Demon Lord…… Just what is it that you wished for? …… What did you want me to do……!”

To know the answer to my question, all I can do is to find the one who knows the answer which is The Goddess herself.

At first, I only want to meet The Goddess to know the mysteries of this world. But now, I can’t imagine an amicable future if I did meet with her.

Yuisia keep looking at me in silence. And then without saying anything, she just put me and Riona on her back and starts flying ---- toward the vertical passage upside the nest, the other way to exit the place.

(Hiroto-sama…… Whatever happens, I will definitely be together with you. If you need my wings in order to reach The Goddess then I will always become your wings)

“…… Thank you, Yuisia”

Leaving the darkness of the cavern, we soar into the high blue sky on top of the silver dragon’s back. From up above, I look down on the town of Mizell.

The town where I have a home to return to. The town that I will continue protecting from now on…… The town where Riona and I born. (Eros: don’t ask me whether Riona really born here. I just translate)

Someday, the time for me to leave the town to see the wide world might come.

---- But even so, I will definitely return back to this town where my mother, father, and also everyone else are living and waiting for my return.

◇◆◇

The Elixir is showing its miraculous healing power and restores my mother and her baby’s vitality into perfection. And now, we are fast approaching the day when my younger sibling will be born into this world.

I try my best to keep accompanying my mother every time I free. All the friends and acquaintances keep on coming to visit my mom to talk to her while also bringing fruits as gift for my mother to eat most of the time.

For some while, I can’t just be alone together with my mother until one day when my father had to go working, the chance to be alone together with her comes.

“Hiroto, mommy is feeling like watching a very long dream you know. A dream where Hiroto is going somewhere far away…… Mommy tried her hardest to stop you but you are just too cruel. You just go straight on without even turning back you know?”

“Mommy, I won’t go anywhere”

The fact about me facing danger to acquire the Elixir and the fact about mother at one time reaching zero life point…… Those are some facts that I never tried to tell either my mother or my father.

It is better to never know. Those are just a passing nightmare…… Even now, when I remember that time when mother life point reaches zero, I can’t help feeling strangled in the heart.

“…… This baby you know, mommy feel that it will be a girl. Mommy feels that the baby is feeling happy inside mommy’s stomach because her older brother is here companying her all the time”

“Is that so…… Has daddy thought up a name for the baby?”

“Yeah, if it’s a boy then then name will Judo and if it’s a girl then the name will be Sonia. Those are the names of the heroes that come out in the picture book that Hiroto read when Hiroto was a baby you know”

From the moment I first saw her in this lake, from the moment I first peek into her status, I have been longing to do this.

“…… Hiroto-sama……?”

That’s right. How could this kind of over powered skill gets easily learned? Yuisia seems to be unaware of the conflict inside my mind so she looks at me while tilting her head aside.

“…… Yuisia, I-I’m sorry but, one more time……”

“…… I understand. If Master wishes so, then no matter how many times……”

I once again touch her breast and her sweet dew starts trickling out again. I quickly catch all the dripping dew with my mouth and starts drinking it again.

From now on, I would definitely continue to calls her out like this to have her help me ‘train’ my skill…… but of course it isn’t that easy.

At last I’ve come into my fifth try and I just can’t seem to learn the skill. When I was about to give up thinking that I am lacking the talent to do so, I managed to learn the skill at last. And because of the persistent [Milk Harvest] that I do, Yuisia’s affection level even reaches the next stage.

“…… I feel like I can even make an offspring now. When Master touches me like that, I feel like becoming a mother already”

“I-I said it already to stop with this ‘master’ calling…… Rather, I wished that you would call me Hiroto without any honorific”

“I feel that, calling you as ‘Master’, is the best for me. Because, by using master, I could feel the sense of submission, that I belong to you…… It is a good feeling”

…… Perhaps Yuisia… has that kind of M disposition with her? And here I am worrying about something like that in such kind of situation.

(Titles…… in this kind of timing. But, I kinda feel happy)

There are also titles back in the game. By having certain title, you can access more places and even receives some unique quest. That’s why, having more titles is considered a good thing.

“…… Master…… I want to stay, like this, for a while longer”

“O-okay…… A…… this is comfortable. I also feel good Yuisia”

“Even a dragon, wants to take a bath, once in a while. That’s why, I like this lake”

Yuisia is floating on the lake water facing up while holding me in her lap. Her expression is filled with satisfaction. The warm water flowing from the subterranean waterways made the lake water feel just right even when the season hadn’t reached spring yet.

Yuisia just stays floating on the water while also sunbathing without any care with her wet clothes. With her around just how far can I go I wonder…… I mean with those wings of her. With her around, I can travel around and could find a solution to free Riona from her sad fate even faster. Even the Demon Sword…… and also, that matter about finding the Goddess.

My adventure is just starting. After mastering [Limit Break], what other thing should I do I wonder. While I look up to the wide sky, my mind starts to wander around.
