Hayato woke up and stretches his body, after being in the same position for a few hours he felt pain everywhere, he turned to see Alyra on the bed and he saw that she was watching him with an expressionless face and her mouth a little open
Hayato raises his eyebrows with surprise and he says with a smile " Since when did you wake up? "
Alyra is still lying on the bed and she smiles back at him " A few minutes ago " Then she made a solemn face and says " The training you did was satisfactory? "
Hayato shakes his head " No, it didn't go as I expected "
Alyra raises her eyebrow with a calm face " Hmmm…. Hayato can I ask you a favor? " Then she spoke with sadness
Hayato was surprised and makes a serious face " What is it? "
" I know that you wanted to deal with my sister, but please don't hurt my father, he is a good person, I know I'm asking too much, after all the things you did for me, but please don't hurt him " Alyra speaks with sadness
" Hmm? but how do you know that I'm stronger than him? " Hayato made a curious face
Alyra looks away nervously and says with a soft voice" I...I don't know I just can't tell that you have great powers.... unknown to me "
" ...Fine I promise that I won't kill him but let me tell you something, maybe your father is a good person but he is ignorant, he wasn't capable to see how much you suffered in your sister's hands, he didn't even know the real reason of your mother's dead " Hayato spoke calmly first but he turned a little angry
Alyra was surprised after seeing Hayato's reaction but she spoke with a nervous face " It-It wasn't his fault all that happened was my mistake, I shouldn't have trusted her, just like my mother never trusted her mother " She had a pained expression
" If you say so " Hayato stands up to then walks to the door " I will go now "
" Wait! Hayato! " Alyra yelled in a hurry
" What? " Hayato turned to see her with doubt
Alyra speaks with worry " Beware with my grandfather, he maybe is old but he is the strongest person in the kingdom "
" I will keep that in mind, I think I will take Dye with me, your sister will be in the Adventurers Guild " Hayato left the room leaving a dazed Alyra that was seeing the door with worry
Hayato walked in front of Dye's room and the door was open again when he entered she was naked again
' *SIGH* again? ' Hayato put his right hand on his face
Hayato approached Dye and he covered her body with a blanket, then he covers Dye's nose with his fingers and she woke up abruptly
" Ah....! What are you doing!? " Dye moved her body and said with anger
" Come on we have something to do today, so put on your clothes, I will see you outside of the Hostel " Hayato ignores her complains and turns around to leave
Hayato left the Hostel and waited for Dye to come out, after a few minutes she leaves the Hostel with her school uniform. She comes out making a pout
" Why did you wake me up like that?! " Dye said with a pout
" Sorry it was an impulse, don't get mad would you " Hayato made a teasing smile
"Grr... Then where we will go " Dye shows her teeth to him and said in anger
" We... " Hayato stopped speaking when he saw a knight walking towards them ' So he came ' Dye turns to see in the direction where Hayato was seeing
" Who is he? " Dye asked with doubt
Hayato ignores her and says " Captain, what brings you here? "
The knight was Captain Conrad, he didn't respond to Hayato until he arrived in front of him " Master, I found what you were looking for " The Captain whispered
Hayato frowns and says " Did you find everything? "
Dye sees them but she didn't say anything
The Captain shakes his head " Not everything, master, but I found something that will help you "
Hayato nods a little and says " Let's go, you can tell me what you found on the way, we are going to the Adventurers Guild "
The three of them began to walk slowly and the Captain was the first one to speak
" Master, I entered the castle library, and there it was a section only for the royal family even for me that area is forbidden " The Captain spoke with a small smile
" Then what did you do? " Hayato turned to see him with doubt
" I went sporadically, I didn't stay more than 5 minutes each time, I used the excuse that I was patrolling, the first hours I didn't find anything related to curses but yesterday at night I found a book hidden on the top, the book said, the history of the Lyrel kingdom but the cover was a trick, the real cover was inside the fake one and that one had the symbol of the Lockstar family " The Captain made a serious face
Hayato is surprises a little " So that one has the curses "
The Captain nods and says with a serious voice " Yes, a lot of them, but that doesn't make sense the Lockstar family is a famous merchant family, and the products they manage arrive even at the coast cities of the Monster Continent... unless " then he made a surprised face
" What's wrong? " Hayato frowns with doubt
The Captain shakes his head and says " I need to investigate this more, if I'm right this could change the kingdom even the balance of power of multiple kingdoms "
" No, this is where your investigation ends " Hayato spoke with a cold voice
" But why master? " The Captain turned to see him with shock
Hayato speaks in a calm manner " That f*cking princess is crazy if she discovers you not only your life could be in danger I think that she can do something to your family "
The Captain turns pale from the fear " ...! y-yes I think I will stop but what are you going to do? " he spoke with a nervous face
Hayato speaks with a cold face " I will deal with her today, but that's not important, now tell me what kind of curse she will try to use "
The Captain makes a thinking expression and says " Is a Dark Magic ritual, the person who is targeted needs to enter a spell formation, the formation is a little bit wide so it needs some time to be placed, I think that her best chance that she can use it is when you two are alone so if you stay alone with her you have to be careful, master "
Hayato raises his eyebrow with surprise " So she could place it anywhere but I kinda guessed where she put it, besides that, you can say anything else that can be useful "
The Captain grins and says " Yes, the spell becomes invisible to everyone except for the one who made it and it can be put on the floor or the roof of every building that's what makes it dangerous "
" Hmm... " Hayato made a thinking face ' The problem is not how it works but where it could be '
The Captain speaks again " Now master, we almost arrive I have to go I don't want her to see me with you "
Hayato nods and says " Ok, but one more thing I will leave the kingdom, I'm planning to go to the Ballack kingdom "
The Captain is surprised but then he smiles " Ok, master, I hope that when you return you can clean up this kingdom "
" Yes " Hayato grinned and the Captain left the place
" Let's go " Hayato turned to see Dye and she nodded
Hayato and Dye arrived at the Adventurers Guild when they arrived Hayato was very surprised after seeing the Guild Master talking with the princess, Ellen
" Oh, hello kid! good timing, the princess here wanted to see you " The Guild Master said with a little smile when he pointed to the pretty girl in front of him
" Oh! hello Hayato! " Princess Ellen said with a happy smile and she hugs Hayato very tightly
" …!? H-Hello princess good to see you again " Hayato said with an incredulous voice
The princess says sweetly " I bring the Level Stone that my grandfather uses, so now we can use it in you, hmm?... who is she? " She turned to see Dye with a curious expression
" She is Dye, she is my partner, say hello to princess Ellen, Dye " Hayato said with a little smile when she turned to see Dye
" …..Hello " Dye said in a cold voice
" Now, let's go! " The princess just smiled at her and she left together with the Guild Master toward the empty room where they tested Hayato's power before but Hayato and Dye stayed behind until Dye spoke with a serious voice " Hayato do you know her, right? "
" Yes, she isn't what she looks " Hayato grins a little at her
" She has greed in her eyes when she saw you and that applies to me, I noticed some kind of scanning power coming from her " Dye had an angered face, no the usually angered face she makes
Hayato nods with a serious expression " Hmm, Dye I will handle her myself, here, go buy something to eat for you and Alyra " Hayato gives a golden coin to Dye
" Ok, beware with that woman " Dye grabbed the golden coin and left the Adventurers Guild
Hayato walked to a private room in the Adventurers Guild and there the princess and the Guild Master were waiting for him
The princess says with a pout " Hayato what take you so long? hmm? where is your partner? " She turned to see behind Hayato
" She had something else to do, can we start now? " Hayato spoke with a little grin
" Okay kid, then put your hand over this stone " The Guild Master pointed to a rock on a table, it has the size of a human head, Hayato put his right hand on it, and *SHIN* the stone started to shine and next some strange symbols come out from the stone floating above it
" Wow!! th-that's amazing!! " The Guild Master babbles with surprise
" ...!!! " The princess was surprised opening her eyes and mouth widely but after that, she had a smirk
" You are an Advance Super Magic Swordsman!! " The Guild Master said happily
" That's good? " Hayato asks with doubt
The Guild Master had a big smile on his face " Of course it is! in this kingdom you are in the elite of the elite, you have the same strength as the princess, right, princess? " He turned to see the princess
" Eh! ah? yes! you are amazing Hayato! " The princess said with a nervous tone but she showed excitement
" Hmm? I see, then what now? " Hayato asked calmly
" You have to come with me to the castle! we have to see the king! " The princess said with a happy smile
Hayato smiled and turned to see the Guild Master " Ok, lead the way princess, goodbye Guild Master "
" See you later kid " The Guild Master smiled widely and they leave the room
