"Problems."-- It always come. After you had one, another one follows. If you didn't solved and polished it, it's like a 'Domino Effect'. You don't know where, when and what will happen. It will just suddenly comes at you.
"Yes, that's what I believed right now."
"How do I say so? Well, for example..."
You are trying to save a girl from falling in a cliff but ended up falling together. The only thing that you could do is embrace her before the impact hits. The fragrance of the girl attaches at you but you didn't know and this girl suddenly kisses you as an appreciation but it actually left a mark on your face and you didn't noticed it.
This scenario are somewhat-- just an appreciation of a person.-- That's what I had in mind.
But I was wrong. It can actually turn into a problem if one more person is involve.
"Yes. That is my situation right now."
"Sigh... I thought that this day is over."
"I thought that I can finally have a goodnight sleep."
We arrived at the palace but I've been beaten almost to death by Risa.-- If I didn't have a superpower, I'm really dead right now.
My eyes are so amaze.
Their palace is so big and beautiful.
"Don't you ever make embarrassing stuffs in front of my mother!" Risa told me in furious.-- It's like I'm gonna beheaded next morning.
My phone vibrates and tells, "Rosaline Elsia."-- I think this is her mother's name.
Risa and I goes to her mother-- the queen's room.
Risa knocked her door.
"Please come in." Her mother said.
Standing at the balcony is a beautiful woman.-- So this is Risa when she grows up.
"My name is Rosaline Elsia, I'm Risa's mother, and the queen of this kingdom." Rosaline said it in a soft voice.
"Ni-Nice to meet you. Your highness!"
"My name is Rubi Red."
My eyes are quite dazzling in her beauty. Her eyes are shining, she looks so young. She's like Risa's sister.
And her chest are somewhat-- the same as Risa's.
"Okay Risa, Please execute this person." Rosaline said. She's been irritated for some reason.-- She really is Risa's mother.
Risa suddenly kicked me.
Now that we're done introducing ourselves. I asked Rosaline why did she called me.
"Will you leave us for a moment, Risa?" Rosaline asked.
"Of-Of course, Mother!" Risa said it nervously.
Risa suddenly pulled me and whispered in my ear.
"Don't you ever embarrass me!" She said it furiously.-- I think I will become a feed for a lion if I do that.
Risa leaves the room.-- I think that this is really important. Risa has to leave us alone in order to discuss it.
"Risa already told you, right?" Rosaline asked.
I remembered what Risa told me on that day.-- I think it's the part about fighting demons.
Rosaline told me why they needed a hero, that's because demons are spreading all around this world. Making other places miserable and lives in fear.
The time when Risa told her that someone from another world came. It gave her hope, that finally someone will rescue them.
Rosaline told me that they really need a hero who will fight along side with them. A hero that will go at the front line and end these demon's realms. Rosaline asked me to help them.-- I can see in her eyes that she's really desperate.
Her looks are the same with Risa's-- The time when she told me about this too.
"Please, help those who are in needs." Rosaline asked me.
"You can count on me!" I said with confidence.-- I can't really refuse it.
So we made an agreement like what I promised to Risa.
"Now I need to become much stronger. They are putting their trusts on me, they believe in me.
I don't want to let them down."
Our talk suddenly changed it's topic.
"Mind if I ask? Where is Risa's father-- I mean the king?" I asked.
Rosaline told me that he's husband was a great man, a great ruler, and a loving-father. She told me that he always tells Risa a story when she's a kid.
It's a story about a hero from another world who rescues a princess.-- Well, I remembered Risa saying that.
One day, Risa and his father are playing outside. They are running around, chasing each other, playing here and there.
Unexpectedly, a demon suddenly appeared and started to go on a rampage. It tries to attack Risa but my husband protected her. He successfully saved Risa but unfortunately not himself.-- The demon took her husband's life.
I have no idea that Risa experienced all of that when she was in a young age.
Changed of topic again.
"So what do you think about Risa?" Rosaline asked.
I'm kinda confused on that sudden question but I gave her an answer.
"About Risa?"
"She is really..."
"A stubborn."
"Short-tempered."
"And most of all, Clumsy. She almost died twice because of her clumsiness."
"But that clumsiness leads me to her. If I hadn't save her back then, knowing her will leave undetermined. So I'm really grateful that I met her."
"There were times that she shows this really cute side of her and I'm quite stunned by it."
Rosaline told me that Risa is a very serious girl. When she decided on something, she will do everything she can to achieve it.
Rosaline suddenly asked me for a favor.
"Please take care of Risa." Rosaline asked.-- Like every mother should.
"That goes without saying. I will protect her and save her no matter what-- or how many times, I will always be there." I promised her.
Our talk ended and we gave our regards with each other.
As I leave the room. There I saw Risa standing behind the door.
Risa's face is red.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
Risa suddenly ran.-- What's with that?
Rosaline offered me to rest for the meantime.-- Looking at myself, I'm pretty worn out. I really need to take one.
I accepted her offer.
Their housemaids escorted me to my room.
As we walk in the hallway, I saw a picture of the three of them. On the left side is Rosaline--The queen, on the right side is Risa's father-- The king, and the one that's in the middle is Risa-- The princess.-- Risa is so cute when she was young.-- Doesn't changed much actually.
Looking at the picture, I see Risa's face that she is really happy.
"Just a few more turns until we reaches the room." The housemaids said.-- Really? How big is this place?
A minute later, we reached the room.
"I can't believe it. This room is so big!"-- In my real world, this is supposed to be a house.
The housemaids offered me to take a bath.
"Ta-Take a bath with you? To-Together?" I said it mumbly.
The housemaids made these disgusted faces.-- In short, in their perspective, I'm the worst.
They showed me where the bath is.
"Yo-You're not really want to--?"-- I didn't even finished my words.
They slammed the door.
But still, this place is so amazing. They said that their bath has a hot spring too!
Finally, I can have some relaxing time.-- Or so I thought.
"It's too steamy~ I can barely see everything."-- Well, that's because I'm in a hot spring.
So I dip myself in the hot spring.
"Finally, some relaxation~"
"By the way~ I didn't saw Risa again after she ran for no reason."
"I'm actually having a really nice time~"
"I don't want to be disturb right now~"
As I take my time to relax, it feels like something bumped me.
"What in the~ What was that?!"-- I can't quite see because of the steam.
As I look closely, as the steam faded.
There I saw Risa standing in front of me, and naked.
Risa suddenly slapped me.
"Wh-What are you doing in here?!" Risa said it embarrassed.
"What was that for?!" I said.
"Y-You know that we can't do this until we're married~" Risa said it softly.
"What's that?" I asked Risa.
"Don't you look at me! You pervert!" Risa shouted in anger.
Risa is asking me for an explanation.-- So I told her that her mother insisted me to stay for the night.
"Mother?!" Risa said it embarrassed.
"What's with your mother?" I asked.
"My mother insisted me to take a bath." Risa said it irritated.
The heck is wrong with her mother?
She said that nobody told her that I will be staying for the night.-- Rosaline and those housemaids, they didn't tell Risa.
Risa is turning red.
"Why are you still here?! Get out of here, pervert!" Risa shouted.
"Ye-Yes! Of course! Sorry!" I said.
After Risa kicked me out, I go straight back to my room.-- I can finally get some rest over there.
"What a day!~"
"I'm so tired!~"
"So many happened this day~"
"I'm gonna go to sleep~"
As I close my eyes, someone suddenly knocked at the door.
What now?!-- I opened the door.
Standing in front of me is Risa.
She asked me to follow her, I think there's something that she wanted me to see.
"Is this about the bath? I'm really sorry!"
I asked her if this was about earlier but she told me it's not. She told me that there's someone that she wanted me to meet.
Risa took me in the garden, there I saw a tomb.-- This might be her father.
"This is Raniel Elsia-- My Father." Risa introduced him to me with this innocent face.
"Ni-Nice to meet you. Sir!" I introduced myself as respect.
Then Risa keeps on talking about her father, like how her father treated her in the past, played with her when she was young and how great father he is.-- She really loves her father.
A few moment later, those joyful talks of her became more emotional.
Risa started crying.
"Father, You know what? I finally found the hero in your stories~"
"He rescued me like the one in the stories, the hero who rescues the princess."
"He even promised me that he's going to save everyone who calls for help."
"And most of all, he even promised that he will stay by my side."
"Father, I'm gonna make those stories into reality. So always watch me, okay?" Risa said it emotionally.
~Seeing someone like this is so painful.
I stood myself up.
"I swear, I will become the hero in those stories."
"The hero who will save this world!"
"The hero who will protect the princess no matter what!"
"And a hero who will save Risa no matter how many times!"
After I said all of that, I remembered the favor of Risa's mother.
"Please take care of Risa."
That goes without saying, I don't know if the stuffs that happened to me until now-- or the things that will eventually happen can considered lucky or not.
Before I came to this world, I live my life alone, with not much interesting events happened in life.-- Is this really normal for a person?
But one day, when the time I saw someone-- Risa is in danger, my body suddenly moves on it's own, my heart suddenly beats so fast, it feels like-- I felt more alive.
"I don't really know what will happen if she didn't met me."
"And I don't know what will happen if I didn't met her."
"I will take care of Risa no matter what."
After all of that, the day is over. Risa remained speechless. I ended up making a promise to her father.
-- I don't want to know what will happen next morning. I just hope that I could get some goodnight sleep for now.
