"What the fuck do you mean by that!" i asked Rex, "i don't know how but it's true!" replied Rex. Is this true? No this must be one of Rex's jokes! "What're you babbling about?" asked Liora, she can't see the diary because Rex hid it in case of an incident like this.
"Whatever your so engrossed in gossiping is none of my business but we need to find out everyone's share of items, of course because i killed the boss i will get more than all of you!" said Liora. Well i guess that makes sense anything to move my mind from what Rex said.
"I got them Reine!" said Liora, "good i wondered how much longer we would have to wait!" said Reine in relief, after distributing our awards Liora told us, "d'you know why you have been summoned here?", that's a good question! Why were we summoned here?
"No" i replied, "it's because you have to defeat ten monsters know as battlers." said Liora, battlers? that's a cringey name! I mean battlers! Why battlers? "So are each of these battlers just glorified bosses who are ridiculously strong?" i asked Liora, "basically", she replied.
Ah that makes sense the objective is to defeat all these guys, just like a game though this does feel a lot like reality after i met Liora. We went back to our rooms and got ready for a good nights sleep.
I wonder if what Rex said is true? I mean i like her too she's strong, beautiful, smart and kind, she's basically perfect!
Maybe if all goes well you can start dating! That thought makes me happy, though i should probably not rely on something which isn't confirmed. It might become embarrassing and i won't be able to get her attention ever again.
The next morning i woke up got dressed and got ready to eat some good food! "Thanks! Breakfast was really, really good!" i exclaimed, "oh, i swear Akane your just a kid!" said Reine. "Ha ha, shut the fuck up!" i told her, who does she think she is making fun of me! "Perfect girl." i mumbled, Reine had her usual reaction of glaring at me in disdain.
After finishing our food we were called by the king for a request, i wonder what it could be? "There have been reports of a dangerous monster in the west, i want you lot to investigate it." said the king.
Okay so we just have to kill a monster, that sounds easy enough!
We set out for our destination at the crack of dawn and reached our destination by noon, we were all very tired and sleepy. "Are you her to save our village?" asked a villager, "yup" replied Rex, "thank god! Please let me guide you to the location of that beast!" said the villager.
After walking for a while we finally reached the spot where the monster was sleeping. I didn't look that powerful, "is this thing really that strong?" i asked the villager, "we don't know, every adventurer we ask says he wants to do something more exciting than save a village!" he replied.
Oh so everyone here prefers being cool over innocent lives being lost, they're selfish as hell. "Wake up you sack of shit!" i shouted at the monster, it woke up and threw a fit, "i'm killing this thing Liora back me up!" i said, "OK" replied Liora.
The monster really was a pushover me and Liora were able to defeat it very quickly. "Well i guess that's done." i said triumphantly, wait what is that time stamp? Is it! "Liora quickly make a shield around us!" i shouted, "why?" she asked, "just do it!" i replied.
Liora created an ice shield around us and an explosion happened, "what's happening?" asked Liora, "his main specialty was the fact that he self-destructed after death." i replied. The ice shield broke and Liora and me got caught up in it.
There was fire and confusion, we could Rex, Reine and Rako's screams. "Akane-kun i always wanted to say something to you." said Liora, is she confessing her feelings i guess now is a pretty good time though cliché, "i have feelings for you" said Liora, blushing, "coincidence! Me too!" i replied, hearing this Liora quietly closed her eyes happily she was unconscious.
I was happy to know what Rex said was true and not just a joke, i couldn't help but feel pain i felt the flames burning my skin, it got to a point where i was screaming in agony until i fainted. I woke up in a bed in the medical area of the castle, there was Rex, Reine and Rako waiting for us to recover and Liora was still unconscious.
"I heard your conversation." said Rex, "he told us about it too, so are you like gonna date or something?" said Rako. Oh they know about it, shit! "Probably" i replied. And so after we recovered we started dating.
Then one night Rex and Reine suggested something surprising, "sleep together! Are you mad!" i said, what kind of person would do such a thing in two weeks, "i think that's a great idea!" said Liora what the hell man even she is supporting. "You've done the impossible bro, i think you should take it a step further!" said Reine.
"Please?" said Liora in a sad voice, "fine!" i replied, and so tonight we decide to take a room with a bed suitable for two people like Reine and Rex always do. We both got undressed and took the blanket around us, it was a nice night being with Liora and all.
"Thanks for this Akane." said Liora, "no prob!" i replied, "anyways what happened to you when you were bought? why were you bought?" i asked her, "i was a sex slave." answered Liora. Oh so that guy was a pedophile, wow that's wrong.
"I'm sorry it must be horrifying thinking about your time there." i apologized, "oh no, but when i think of that time for some reason i feel scared, which is a feeling i don't feel often." said Liora.
Liora started crying, it must really be horrifying, she clung on to me scared and i understood it.
"Don't worry i will protect you" i said.
