Three days went by after our duel; the entire arena was naturally turned into a commotion as a swarm of nobles gathered around me like bees gathering around honey, they were trying to deepen our relationship saying things like "As expected of her highness's Saviour will you work for me?" or "With your power we could surely increase our military prowess" naturally those people were easily taken care of by both the royal sisters who were present. Incidentally Hindu who was knocked out was brought to the medical room inside the royal castle. After he had regained consciousness.
He was severely punished by his noble family for using their most powerful spell 'Pheonix wrath' apparently it was a spell they didn't want to be shown in the opening before such a large group of spectators. Hindu who had lost the duel which he had initiated in the first place felt great shame. "You are my rival commoner!! I'll never allow anyone to take lady Isabella from me." He said so while being in a half crying state.
(I sure hope our paths doesn't cross anytime soon)
I thought tiredly. Remembering the state of Hindu who had tears running down his cheek while saying that the "Power of my love won't lose to anyone especially to some punk who have no class." while pointing his finger at me was an image that was stuck inside my head for some reason, it seems he had fully accepted me as his number one rival. I sighed quietly before sitting on my bed while gazing out the window, which shows the scenery of the crescent moon hovering in the cloudless night sky.
After going through so much headache it's good to have some peace time for a change. However, at that moment wind gathered around and the figure of the 'Divine beauty' appeared, her long blue dress fluttered with her graceful movement as her long waist length green hair dance with the wind blowing through the opened window. The diamond armament attached to her dress glittered with the moon light illuminating through the opened window.
"May I join you?"
She asks while showing a sweet smile on her face. I gulp seeing her smile that smile can really charmed anyone who witness it, it was like an image taken out of a fairy tale. Noticing my unusual behavior Alya tilted her head curiously.
"Cough, well it would be boring for you to stay in your spirit form, right?"
I said while showing a smile on my face. Alya then casually seated herself beside me with that I turned my gazed towards the window once again viewing the night sky, Alya also turned her gazed towards the night sky with a small smile tug on her lips. A peaceful atmosphere drifted inside the room. We both stayed like that for some time until I notice Alya had a tinge of redness on her cheek while she was fidgeting a little bit.
"Ah, hey, are you okay? You're not cold, are you?"
I ask finding her behavior quite strange. Hearing my sudden question, she flinches slightly.
"Eh, ah no... it's just I'm sitting next to Haruto while gazing at the night sky, it's only natural my maidenly heart would be stimulated, you know."
She said while blushing. Naturally I had no comment I honestly didn't know how to respond to such honest mutter, I have read many books about romance back home however the inexperience me had never had any practice in that department before. There has never been anyone who had said such things to me before. Alya was gazing at me with a somewhat seductive glint in her neatly refined eyes at that I awkwardly glance away while scratching my cheek,
"Anyway, ah there is something I wanted to ask you, is that okay?"
I ask awkwardly while trying my best to change the topic.
"What is it?"
She asks curiously. Though there was a cute pout on her pink lips it seems she knew I was purposely trying to divert the topic.
"Are there any other elemental spirits like you?"
I ask while tilting my head.
"Naturally besides me there are three others who are high ranked spirits."
She answered in her usual carefree voice. While shrugging her shoulders.
"I see, they must also be trying to from a pact with other individuals too, right?"
I ask while sending her a glance. However, a look of indifferent formed on her face.
"I honestly couldn't care less what the others are doing. I only care about Haruto who is my partner right now, I'm sure the others feel the same way."
She said without showing any particular emotion on her face. Looking at her face it seems she truly didn't care aren't the spirits considered family for them to have no interest in the other lives how bad is their relationships I wondered while frowning a bit.
"We do consider each other as family, but we don't wish for others to interfere with what we do. I'm sure you wouldn't want anyone to interfere with your own personal life, right?"
She asks while tilting her head to the side. I guess she can easily see-through whatever I'm thinking about.
"Well, I guess you do have a point."
I said sighing. Well as long as they get along, I guess it should be fine.
"In any case there is another matter I wish to know, it's the most important is it okay to ask?"
I ask while making a serious face. Seeing my expression, she naturally straightens her posture while straightening her dress which was slightly disheveled by her seating position. She then nodded her head slowly signaling me to speak.
"You said you have been watching over me since the very beginning, so can I assume you know why I was summoned into this world?"
I ask while showing an inquisitive gaze towards Alya. Hearing my question, she didn't seem too surprised it was as though she expected such question to be directed towards her. She naturally placed her hands at her mouth clearing her throat before speaking.
"Well to be honest I don't think you were brought here through the regular method of summoning a human from another world but rather you were sent here through the small cracks in the dimensional space."
Alya said giving her postulation while making a face a dubious face. I see so instead of being summoned by an individual I was instead thrown through the small cracks in the dimensions huh... does that mean anyone could have been summoned at that time. But if that was the case, why do I have so much mana is it because I'm from another world?
"What I tell you is just my theory as the dimensions is extremely unstable, however I didn't sense any spatial magic being used when you were summoned so it seems likely you were thrown through the gaps in the dimensional space."
She said while bringing her hands underneath her chin with a hum.
"I see, I think I understand now however is there a way back home?"
I ask while making a face that showed desperateness mix with a bit of hopefulness. Seeing that Alya sighed quietly before saying the harsh truth, she took a deep breath before opening up her mouth seeing how hesitant she was a bad premonition filled my head. "It can't be." I wanted to say but before I could.
"Unfortunately, that seems impossible right now, spatial magic is the most difficult magic to use in the current era."
She said making an apologetic face. *Crack*, hearing that I think something just broke all hope all expectation were all nothing but a wild delusion, it's no use no matter the effort it seems I'll never be able to return home. Knowing that fact my shoulder was lump down while I held down my head in disappointment. Alya was gazing at me with a gloomily expression before heaving a sigh.
"What's so wrong about living out the rest of your life in this world? Wouldn't you be able to live a more fulfilling life in this world?"
She muttered while patting my shoulder, I couldn't help but become a little upset by her sudden words however I had no strength to be angry right now. Thinking about it calmly I could definitely make a living in this world by becoming a knight or an adventurer however the current me held no such desire.
There was also a lot of unfinish business back home for me to do. If you were to ask me which world, I would like to stay in surely it would be my original home that won't change no matter how much I come to like this world. There is a saying 'Home is the starting place of hopes and dreams' naturally I'll find my way back even if it takes a miracle to do it. I'll even distort time and space if I have to.
"Fufufu.... think you can separate me from my home huh? Even if the gods pull me away, I'll find my way back home."
I muttered while chuckling to myself. Hearing my mutter while watching me laugh so suddenly, Alya instinctively flinch with her eyes opened wide.
"Ah, I can see you got your motivation back, but how come?"
She asks curiously while tilting her head. It seems she thinks my spirit would be completely broken when hearing that I couldn't go back home so she was genuinely surprised seeing my sudden burst of confidence. Hearing her question my lips was naturally turned into a fearless grin.
"Well let's just say I'm prepared to do the impossible if that's what it takes to go back home."
I said with a small smile.
"Seeing that fearless face of yours gets me all tingly I'm falling in love all over again... as your partner naturally I'll help you out with whatever I can."
Alya said with a sweet smile while, hugging herself with her hands making the expression of a maiden love. After a while she then fold her hands into a fist. It seems a fire was also lit inside her due to my sudden motivation.
"But wasn't there anyone who could naturally travel between worlds."
I ask tilting my head.
"Yes, there was one such person... however he disappeared many years ago."
She said while showing a slight gloominess in her eyes. Seeing that I knew that 'person' must have probably been a special existence to her.
"I see, is it okay to ask who that such 'person' is?"
I ask while turning my gaze towards her. Receiving my gaze, she also turned her head and gazed back without faltering.
"He is the creator to most of the known worlds that is the god of creation."
Alya muttered quietly under her breath.
(A god of creation huh... he must have been a great guy to have create the entire world. Though there are a lot of religion of a god creating the world)
I thought even in another world such person existed huh.
"What became of him?"
I ask keeping my gazed turned towards Alya who was seated beside me. Hearing my question, she sighed once before answering.
"His body suddenly vanish before it did, he was the one keeping the dimension stable but, now without its foundation being present anymore naturally dimensions are starting to crumble causing the worlds to overlap."
She said while keeping down her head. Ah so that's what's happening if that's the case it wouldn't be a surprise if someone else besides me gets suddenly summoned here.
"It seems things are more complicated than I thought."
I said tiredly while stretching my hands. With that I slowly got up from the bed.
"Ah what are you doing?"
Alya ask while also getting up from the bed.
"What do you think? I'm going to bed let's leave the rest of the discussion until tomorrow, staying up late is poisonous to the body, you know."
I said while laying down on my bed letting the softness of the bed mattress carry my weight. I still needed time to process the information I had just received, I also needed time to cool my head and think about what it is I'm going to do from here. I personally wanted to go out and find methods of traveling through dimensions, but it seems it's going to be more difficult than I thought, going through dimensions is a way of traveling no humans could ever hope to accomplish such things can only be achieved in children fairy tales, but I am in a fantasy world right now, right? so naturally I'll do whatever it takes. Alya stared at me for a few seconds before she grins happily while showing a bewitching smile. There was a seductive glint in her eyes, but it might be my imagination.
"Oi, oi what are you doing?"
I shouted while slowly covering my bed. I quickly grabbed a pillow and threw it with great speed at Alya who was slowly approaching from the other side of the bed however, with quick reaction time she naturally held out her slender hand with graceful movements and a gust of wind was formed creating a small vortex before her palm it easily stops the force of the pillow killing its momentum and she easily caught it.
"Eh, what does it look like I'm doing I'm also going to sleep weren't you the one who said, 'staying up late is poisonous to the body' no?"
She said hugging the pillow she just caught while slowly getting on the bed.
"N-no I did say that yes but, yo-you know an unmarried man and woman can't be seen sleeping on the same bed."
I said with a face as red as a tomato. Seeing my face, Alya started chuckling to herself while bringing her curvaceous body closer. At that a sweet scent tickled my nose.
"Ufufufu... this is a once in a lifetime opportunity you know, shouldn't you make the most of it."
She said with a gleeful face that was slowly becoming red. The atmosphere around her became slightly intense no it was slightly intimidating.
"N-no way, I'll protect my chastity even if it's from a divine beauty."
I said while slowly backing away.
"A divine beauty huh... my, my I didn't know you see me that way."
"As you're partner, I'm willing to serve you in any way you like, you know."
She said with a delighted face which was slightly mix with crimson. While crawling on all four small strands of her long green hair flowed down her shoulders.
"Wait a sec serve wh-what does that mean? N-no don't come any closer."
Naturally the entire rooms which was located near my room could hear my screaming voice resounded.
