Chereads / World Linking High School Boy Emis / Chapter 7 - EPISODE 7 - Princess Who?

Chapter 7 - EPISODE 7 - Princess Who?

I died again. That's good. That means I can prevent that.

*Emis is in the Link*

Browser: For a person with 3 lives, you sure do die a lot. So let's list that, Death Toll: 4.

Emis: Hey, I thought you said you'd tell me your name in the next meeting.

Browser: That wasn't the right time. And why do you want to know my name so bad, in fact, why should I tell it to you in the first place?

Emis: If we were to keep meeting, it would be awkward if we didn't know each other's name.

Browser: You do have a point. How'd you even know i had one?

Emis: Well, there are many Browsers. There should be a name for each one, right?

Browser: So, humans do have common sense.

Emis: Ouch, that kinds of stings *with a smile*.

Browser: If you want to, very well, my name is...Mercilla.

Emis: Wow, that's a beautiful name.

Mercilla: I see that you don't like to listen to heeds.

Emis: Oh, sorry about that. Hey...about that, you said that this could be a curse, right? Is this what you meant?

Mercilla: Consider it a part of the curse. At the very least, you should avoid killing yourself...

Emis: ...

Mercilla: ...it could stir up trouble.

Emis: I see...But, how am I going to defeat Shrednell?

Mercilla: That is your problem...It's time to send you now.

Emis: Wait! I still have questions!

*A white light surrounds Emis; a white light that goes upward into the void.*

Mercilla: Farewell.

*Emis disappears*

*He is sent to the world*

*It is lunch break*

*He is in the classroom*

I see...I have to carry this heavy burden all by myself. But before that, who should I ask help for?

*He remembers the princess*

Ah...I remember now. I should find that princess. But how can I even find her? I've never seen her before in my life. If I try to ask people, they might just think I'm dumb...

*He thinks hardly*

AHHHH! This is hopeless! I might at least just have to stall Shrednell and reduce the number of casualties. I've already been driven to a corner. I have to fight him and save my friends...even at the cost of my life...

*And time flew by so fast. Emis nervously prepared for the upcoming day*

*1 week later*

I didn't tell them...so that they wouldn't be in this mess.

*In the school grounds*

Shrednell: So you came...

Emis: Before that, can we fight in another place? A place where we can fight with all of our potential.

Shrednell: I see...you understand. Very well.

*Shrednell activates a flat circular device*

*Both of them are transported*

Shrednell: Perfect...We are in the Link, a place where...

Emis: *interrupts* *madly* I know...

Shrednell: Impatient, my boy?

Emis: *seriously* Let's just get this over with.

*Emis performs a cautious stance*

*Shrednell aggressively closes in the space between them*

Shrednell: Object Manifestation: Brute Force!

*Emis swiftly dodges and kicks Shrednell to the face*

Shrednell: That's a first!

*Shrednell grabs Emis's leg and throws him with intense force that causes a rebound*

He's done the first already, so I knew, but this one's new...

*Shrednell throws three marbles*

Shrednell: Nature Manipulation: Expansion!

*The three marbles grow in ascending order pushing Emis upward in the air*

I hate his dirty tricks...

Shrednell: Object Manipulation: Final Remnants: Big Bang!

*He punches the smallest marble with extreme force*

*Each marble was pulverized and the remaining force hit Emis*

Ouch! So powerful...

*Emis falls*

Shrednell: That's it?

*Shrednell kicks Emis in the face*

*He grabs Emis's face*

Shrednell: Don't tell me that's all you've got?

*Shrednell throws Emis*

Once I lose to this guy again, I'll have to fight him again and again and again forever. I'll forever lose, but he'll never win too. There was no other choice, anyway.

Shrednell: Get up...You're no fun. I'm going for the school and I'll kill them all.

*Emis is again reminded of their deaths*

Emis: NOOOO! NOT THIS TIME! THIS TIME, I'LL PROTECT THEM!

Shrednell: Hmm?

*Emis's right arm glows and is surrounded by an orange aura*

Emis: Sacred Incantation Conversion: Life Extension to Object Manifestation: Devastation of 2!

*Emis punches Shrednell to the ground*

*The punch was so powerful, it corrupted the linear placement of the tiles they are standing on, causing it to bend*

You let your guard down this time!

*Emis falls*

I gave it my all. Please...

*The fog clears and it is seen that Shrednell is still standing*

*Emis looks with frightened and surprised eyes*

Why? WHY?!

Shrednell: Th-That was EXQUISITE! That sure was...ow...painful. I almost died...And it looks like it's my turn...

Emis: Why? Why are you doing this?

Shrednell: My motives?...I will build a world with my leading...I kill those who have the possibility to interfere with my ruling.

Emis: You? RULE? WHAT KIND OF IDEOLOGY IS THAT? All you're going to do is rule a lonely world...Why? Because you say that you kill those kind of people, but in fact, you're even worse! A MONSTER! You kill everyone in your path and you expect to rule a WORLD?! STRENGTH DOESN'T LAST FOREVER! BUT THE PEOPLE IN YOUR HEART DO!

Shrednell: What's the point in lecturing me now? When you clearly can't defend it.

This is it. I'll have to go back again...to square one.

??? : Nature Manipulation: Hair Growth!

*Her hair captures Shrednell*

That voice. Is it?

??? : Sorry I'm late Emis.

Emis: How...How did you find us?

??? : I saw you.

Emis: Wh-Who are you?

??? : You know me.

*The princess smiles*

??? : Now, rest. I know you did the best you can. Now it's my time.

Shrednell: You're on his side? That makes it even more enjoyable!

??? : Object Manifestation: Strengthening!

*Her hair now gets harder*

Shrednell: My eyes, I can't see!

*Shrednell struggles*

*Shrednell breaks free*

Shrednell: Where is that brat?

??? : Behind you! Lock!

*She touches Shrednell with her right hand and the tile with her left*

??? : Now you're stuck here for 5 minutes, hee hee, that's more than enough time to banish you here forever.

Shrednell: NO!

??? : I know I can't defeat you yet, so I'll banish you here so you can't harm anyone.

Shrednell: NO! DON'T! STOP!

??? : Banish!

*A magic circle appears*

*1 minute later*

??? : There. It's time to go home, Emis.

*She carries Emis*

*She holds a device similar to what Shrednell held*

*They came back to the school grounds*

??? : If it wasn't for you, Emis, I wouldn't have won. Thank you. You were really heroic. Heal. That's enough for you to stand, bye.
