Chereads / I Always Knew That I Would Become A Great Hero! / Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Back on Track

Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Back on Track

As they finish, some guards walk in from behind. They are escorting Klaus and Raffael. Saiba turns around and notices two while shouting,

"Klaus! Raffael! I'm glad you guys are okay!"

He runs over as Klaus says,

"Oh, Saiba! You came to save us! Ms. Lily too!"

Raffael notices something and says,

"I'm glad you guys are okay too, but where's Lazaro?"

Right on time, Lazaro burst through the doors and shouts,

"I am here!"

He quickly runs over and hugs Klaus and Raffael. Lazaro says,

"I'm glad you guys are safe! Did they do anything to you in the prison?"

Klaus and Raffael nod their heads no. Aldrich clears his throat and says,

"I have upheld my end of the deal. We should be good now, correct?"

Saiba answers,

"Yup!"

Lily whispers to Saiba,

"I think we should go now, I don't wanna spend any more time in this place."

Saiba agrees and says,

"Well, I still have some things I need to do, so we're gonna go on ahead! It was nice meeting all of you!"

As Saiba begins to walk out, Aldrea pokes Aldrich which prompts him to say,

"Halt! Before you leave, Hero. I would like to propose another deal with you."

Saiba turns back towards Aldrich and starts listening. Aldrich explains,

"I would like to form an alliance between our two parties. If you are ever in need of any help, we will provide our military units and the family will even provide their own firepower. In return, you will assist us when we call and you will spread the name of Alberoth Electric. What do you say?"

Saiba thinks and whispers to Lily,

"Hm... His conditions sound pretty good... It's gonna be like I have a whole army under my command..."

Lily whispers back,

"It does sound pretty good... You can decide, Hero. I trust you."

Saiba turns to Lazaro to see if he has anything to say. Lazaro reassuringly nods at Saiba. Saiba decides and starts walking towards Aldrich while saying,

"Alright Aldrich! I agree to your terms. From this day forward, the Alberoth Family and the Hero will be allied!"

Saiba reaches his handout and Aldrich reluctantly shakes his hand. Thus, a new alliance was formed. As Saiba, Lily, Lazaro, Klaus, and Raffael leave, Aldrich asks Zeus,

"Father, is your premonition really correct?"

Annoyed, Joula says,

"Father's premonitions have never been wrong before! How could you even say that, big brother!"

Zeus answers,

"Certainly, I do not know the rates of my special skill, [God Sight]. However, there has never been a vision that I have believed in as much as this one. I truly believe that boy's future is going to be a great one..."

The five walk out of the stronghold as Saiba asks,

"What are you guys gonna do now?"

Confused, Lazaro answers,

"We were gonna go with you!"

Saiba asks,

"Are you sure? It's gonna be really dangerous!"

Lazaro asks his own question,

"Where are you guys going anyways?"

Saiba announces,

"The Underworld!"

In unison, Lazaro, Klaus and Raffael shout,

"The Underworld!?"

Saiba nods his head yes. Lazaro says,

"Are you really going there!? You're way too under-levelled to get even close to there!"

Saiba replies,

"Huh? I'll just level up then."

He adds,

"Do you still want to come with us?"

Lazaro thinks for a bit before saying,

"Sure. I'll come with you guys. I know that it's risky and all, but I don't really have anywhere to go. Klaus and Raffael, you guys decide on your own if you wanna come too. This is gonna be really dangerous, so I want you to choose whether you come or not."

Klaus speaks up and says,

"Actually Lazaro, me and Raffael were actually thinking about going back to school if we ever got out of the prison. We were gonna ask you to come too, but it seems like you've already decided."

Lazaro replies,

"I see... Well, I guess this is where we part ways then... These three years have been the best three years of my life..."

Klaus and Raffael start tearing up and say,

"Travelling with you was the best too, Lazaro!"

Lazaro says,

"You better do well in school... Promise me we'll meet up again when you guys graduate and I'll promise to stay alive until then, alright!"

They all fistbump as a sign of promise and goodbyes. As the sun comes down, Lazaro, Klaus, and Raffael part ways to continue their own adventures now.
