Isekai Creations
Vol. 01 Chapter. 16: Preparation

Shit, I accidentally told Ryspa?! Well, if I don't answer, he might force me to answer. On the contrary, if I answer, I will get into trouble.

How good...

"There was a bit of a dispute between myself and the country I was living in. In short, I need the power of the Demon Queen to make my dream come true."

"Oho, dreams? Or perhaps, revenge?", he asked so infuriatingly!

"Revenge."

"Haha, can't you be honest? But, you are spoiled, funny too."

"Please forget about last night!!!", ahhhh, I am so embarrassed!!!

"Well, now, why do you say that you have seen the death of a man named Wayra. He's the one who put you in danger, isn't he? Why are you even preventing her from leaving you?", she, asked back. Really, was I that bucket when I was drunk?

"Please, don't tell anyone."

".... Alright."

Aaaa Ah, looks like I should, huh?

"When I entered the forbidden dungeon, I always had nightmares about me being held captive by the Demon Queen, not just being held captive, every day I was tortured by her. Then, I also dreamed of seeing the death of some of the closest people I have now. And, I also dreamt of seeing my sisters being captured by the troops that the state sent to the orphanage...."

"Hmmm...."

Please, don't tell this to anyone.

"In short, since you were frightened by the nightmare, you only managed to reach the middle floor? That's so?"

"Ah, yes.." I can't tell you that I just got to the bottom.

"Well, whatever. Your decision is the choice you choose. But, once in a while, you can pamper yourself. I know you are a girl who lacks affection. Considering you grew up in a mother's care home, you will certainly be fragmented into your younger siblings as well. I heard your story before. You are great because you are able to support the 25 children you bring to the orphanage.

"I know you've fought hard. So, a little advice from me, once in a while, you can get a reward for what you have done so far. Pampering yourself will not make you weak. Instead of your mental eroding over time, wouldn't you say it all?

"I have no right to say this but, you deserve to be happy, Zerlicia. Every now and then, you can be spoiled for someone who makes you feel comfortable" she said.....

I thought that Ryspa was very cold but he was very attentive, I felt a motherly aura emanating from within his body, I was eager to hold him tightly and then cry in his chest.

I'd love to do that....

Can I just...?

When I questioned that to myself, Ryspa widened his arms. He wanted me to embrace him. He understands my feelings?

Without me noticing, my body was moving on its own, I went into his arms, ah, this makes me nostalgic. Can I cry?

*Of course, no one forbids someone from crying. Moreover, if the wound that you are suffering from, is greater than the capacity that you are able to suppress, then just take it out!

Than you become crazy because of the wounds you suffer. Sometimes you can laugh at the world. Please take out your uneg-uneg by shouting loudly in the wild, I'm sure, you will feel a little relieved after doing it. Although, when you return, you will still be reunited with reality.

It was such a short happiness however, Ryspa was right, Zerlicia had fought enough. He deserves a reward for his hard work.

"Thank you, Ryspa. Even if it's just for a moment, I'm happy to meet you."

"Yes. You can come up to me sometime if you're walking around here" he said.

"But, I think it's hard enough..."

"I know that. Take it easy, I'll always be waiting for you, Zerlicia."

After that, Zerlicia packed her belongings and then she went to her home country with the help of a horse carriage provided by the citizens of the city.

Therefore, with a horse-drawn carriage given to the townspeople, Zerlicia went towards her place of return.

*Until the carriage is given.. Is this not too outrageous? Well, whatever it is, they're good people. I hope I can meet them someday.

The trip home was like a trip away, I spent a month to get to Lein's house, ah, now my home anyway. Ah wait, if I remember, they went to the orphanage two months after my departure. I think I'll just go to the parlor.

Anyway, I have to say it clearly.

***

"Zer—Zerlicia?!", what is this? Why did their faces look sad, not only Lein, Wayra and Elsa also hugged me. They could have left because I couldn't follow their wishes.

"Umm, sorry, everyone," I said. All right, let's see how they react.

"Is that so? Well, it's going to be like this, of course" Wayra replied to my apology.

"You mad?"

"No. Not at all. Instead, I'm happy that you came back safely. Do you know what? I am so sorry for forcing you to leave now... Seeing you standing here safely, I have been quite happy just because of that, Zerlicia," Wayra expressed her regret? So, in other words, we both have regrets, do we?

"You won't... leave me, will you?", what the hell am I talking about, we are no longer bound by agreement. So why would I forbid them to go?

"Don't be stupid. Besides, if we have to go, where should we go? I'm weak, I don't want my brother to suffer. This is quite forcing for you but, please, take good care of us" he said.

Wait a minute, in other words he's very sorry? Well, I don't have a problem protecting her anyway. The kingdom is much easier than the Demon Queen.

"Well, for a while, let's stay in the parlour together?"

"Yes!"

We went inside the parlour, with hysterical cries from all my sisters in the parlour, especially, Rleas, she was so hysterical when she saw me back safely.

"Already! I can't take it anymore!! Sis, take me with you!"

"??"

What'd he say? Rleas wants to go on an adventure with me? If not wrong, he once asked me to take him when he was just learning to sword.

"Maybe after your ability—"

"Take me, please!!! I don't want you to suffer any further! I want to ease the burden you've received!"

"But, that kind of world .. I don't want my sisters, especially you to set foot in this miserable world."

"I don't care! I'm a man, I'm not weak!"

"Even so, you...."

"Why not, Zerlicia?"

Wayra, what are you really saying? Do you know how the adventurer world is? I have witnessed, various kinds of despair during the path of this adventurer.

"Rleas, I want you to focus on taking care of your sisters" I said, wiping her head. He's a little tall from me.

"I want to come!!", whoa, he whines? Where did he say the man was?

"Alright, after I rest for a while, let's start your first training!", I said. Instead of him whining more, I better obey his wishes. After all, I also benefited just in case the troops came and started messing up this parlour.

"Good!"

Rleas, he's a pretty interesting kid. He was quite a genius at operating swords. I think he'll be very strong if I train him. I hope.
