“You…” He gritted his tooth as I felt his mana grew an increasing number of malicious.

He wasn’t the one one who was anxious. I used to be in all probability far more anxious than he was. C’mon, agree with my phrases, why have been you so hard-headed!?

I bit my decrease lip as I felt my coronary heart race. He should’ve additionally been in a position to really feel it, since I intentionally put his hand on my chest.

With this, he solely wanted to increase the mana that was coating his hand a taaad bit extra, and there could be an enormous gaping gap in my chest, straight via my coronary heart. And dangit, the extra I considered it, the extra I regretted doing this.

Like, I would a lot favor a painless demise, not one thing painful like this! I swear, do not you dare kill me now you freaky king, or I will hang-out you for years and annoy you over each little factor.

“You are fairly an annoying pest.” He grinned at me, which spooked me a bit, inflicting me to tighten my grip on his hand a bit.

“And also you’re about to take heed to this annoying pest’s want.” I pressed on.

“Do not attempt to sound assured whereas your coronary heart’s beating this a lot,” Erenduill leaned nearer to me and whispered into my ears whereas circling his different arm round my waist, pulling me nearer to him, “I’ve held girls intimately, whose hearts weren’t beating as quick as yours.”

I smirked again, and touched his proper cheek with my left hand whereas whispering into his ears, “and also you’re about to search out out whether or not it is as a result of I am scared to die, or…”

I launched his cheek and leaned again, “… as a result of I am unable to wait to see your topics deem you as an unworthy king.”

His eyes instantly went broad, and his chest stopped shifting up and right down to trade air. For a fraction of a second, the whole lot gave the impression to be at a standstill.

Crap, did I say an excessive amount of? … However, I believed that threatening him along with his identification as an ideal King would positively do it. I nonetheless remembered it clear as day, when his youthful self defined to Ioriell concerning the factor that was most vital to him.

… Was I too hasty, maybe? Would I die right here? Ought to I simply make a determined try and assault?

“Too unhealthy, I’ll by no means let myself be an unworthy king for them,” he eliminated his hand from my chest, and tucked my hair behind my ear, “include me.”

“Uh?” I raised my eyebrows in shock.

… Did I succeed? Did he simply give me the a-okay?

“I will take you to the treasury. However solely you.” He smiled broad at me, this time seemingly playful.

“Why?” I leaned additional again.

“As a result of the treasury is up there, close to my room,” he pointed on the high of the fortress, across the spot the place he simply blasted himself exterior earlier than dramatically descending upon us, “and I am not within the temper to hold all of you up there.” He answered calmly, nonetheless with a smile plastered on his face.

“However–“

“You froze the fortress your self, so sadly, the doorway is blocked,” he lower me off earlier than I used to be completed, “and also you did not say that every one of you must come if you proposed this to me.”

Ack, this dude was a handful. Sly monkeyface.

“Nice, tremendous. Let’s get this achieved quick,” I sighed, “it will not make a distinction anyway. If I die, you all die. No matter.” I shrugged it off, nonetheless maintaining my act.

“Good. Maintain tight.” He tightened his arms round my waist whereas grinning.

“E–“

‘WHOOSH!’

“Uwahhh!” I screamed as quickly as this cheeky elf king shot the each of us into the sky, with me in his arms.

“Settle down, human. We’re merely taking a bit stroll,” he reassured me though it wasn’t working, “however…”

“What!?” I requested loudly, panicking and fearing my destiny of falling to my demise.

“… May you please cease pulling so fiercely on my hair?” He continued.

“Huh?” I blinked twice, earlier than lastly realizing that my palms, in a state of panic, shortly grabbed and hanged on to something that they may seize, which was his lustrous blonde hair that was now messy due to my pulling and grabbing.

“… Ah.” I nodded slowly and stored my mouth shut as I instantly eliminated my hand from his hair… What ought to I seize now, although?

“Thanks. Now maintain on tight.” He stated as he raised his different arm in the direction of the fortress.

“Uh, the place?”

“On me.” He smirked whereas a bunch of swirly inexperienced aura gathered round his hand, forming a ball that was roughly the scale of an apple.

‘BOOM!’

I gasped after I noticed him launch the ball of inexperienced aura in the direction of the spot the place I had patched up with new shards of ice, destroying it into little items that glimmered beneath the moonlight.

“There we go.” He smiled in satisfaction whereas seeing the massive gaping gap that led to an extended hallway that was adorned with lovely pink carpet with golden fringes on the floorboards.

‘Faucet!’

We landed efficiently within the hallway, and I instantly seemed round to examine my environment. Did not he say that the treasury was round right here? Close to his room?

“Impatient, aren’t you?” He chuckled as he noticed my head turning left and proper, and left and proper once more.

‘Faucet!’

“Huh?” My ears twitched after I heard one other touchdown sound. Who was it?

“Yep, she certain is impatient.”

My jaw dropped in shock after I noticed a well-known puff of white hair fluttered ever so barely within the air, shimmering because the moonlight poured upon every of its strands.

“You are not getting away from me, little cub.” He gave me his trademark grin and walked over in the direction of us.

“Why are you right here!?” I exclaimed in shock.

“Hmm, fascinating. I believed your aspect was…” Erenduill paused as he squinted his eyes, “lightning. Your sparks are nonetheless seen. So how did you float up right here?”

Listening to that, I attempted to squint my eyes, too, however I might barely make out tiny spots of blue that did not seem like lightning sparks in any respect. I assume he was higher at sensing magic than I used to be.

“I did not float. I ran,” normal Zhang smirked, “hey, little cub. Earlier than you begin scanning your surrounding, get away from him first.” He stated as he pointed at us.

“Ack! Proper!” I flinched after I realized that I used to be nonetheless glued to the elf king, and instantly jumped away.

Phew, that was harmful. Anyway, again to the scrolls.

“Hey, king. Present us the scrolls.” I shortly reverted the subject again, contemplating that the 5 minutes restrict must be shut now. Unhealthy.

“Please, observe me.” He rotated and began strolling away.

“Little cub, how do you know concerning the scrolls?” Normal Zhang abruptly crept up behind me, making me flinch for the hundredth time right this moment.

“Dude, you are spooky,” I frowned, “concerning the scrolls, Ioriell relayed the information to me throughout my time in that creepy room. He did not explicitly say it, however he confirmed me his effort and onerous work in managing his kingdom’s affair, together with the sleepless nights he went via making an attempt to grasp the mysterious historical scrolls they’ve stashed of their treasury. All of it ended up in useless, although.”

“Hmm, have you learnt what these scrolls are, because you appear so desirous to get them?” Normal Zhang requested as we adopted the elf king’s steps.

“Roughly,” I answered merely, “hey king, are you able to please go quicker? As you have stated earlier than, I am very impatient, please and thanks.” I crossed my arms in entrance of my chest and adjusted the subject.

Truly, I used to be fairly certain that these ‘historical scrolls’ have been simply buffing scrolls. After I noticed the snippets of photographs in that room, I felt like I had seen these scrolls someplace, however I could not actually bear in mind the place.

After which, it hit me after I was doing my morning exercise.

I hadn’t been on this world for lengthy sufficient to go to a number of locations, so it was positively someplace shut. And to this point, I hadn’t been to a library or someplace that saved vital gadgets.

And that was exactly why, I did not see them on this world.

I noticed them in my store window after I was frantically looking for different gadgets on different events. That was why I used to be so certain that I might purchase the scrolls earlier.

“Right here we’re.” Erenduill stopped his toes in entrance of a small, normal-looking wood door.

It seemed extra like an entrance to the kitchen, since there have been a couple of barrels stacked beside the door, and a bit shelf full of numerous crops and herbs, full with a bit basket of fruits.

“Properly-hidden.” I commented about their selection of constructing it so apparent that you simply would not suppose something vital was hidden beneath this door.

“Thanks,” he grinned and opened the door, “after you.”

“Nah, you go in first.” I replied.

“Alright then, curious little human.” He chuckled and opened the door with ease, which stunned me a bit. They need to’ve had a secret door inside as properly, if it was really easy to open.

“Oooh~ I’m wondering what you’ll use them for~” Normal Zhang giggled beside me whereas giving me a humorous stare.

“Don’t fret. You may prefer it.” I gave him a assured grin.

“Then, I will look ahead to it.” He patted my head softly, which kinda felt good, to my shock.

“This manner.” Erenduill stepped contained in the darkish room, solely to disclose that it was certainly a kitchen. Huh, was the key door a fridge in all probability, or a cabinet?

Oh properly. Gotta focus now. The actual battle would quickly start.

I took a deep breath, and adopted him into the room.

I higher not miss this one opening. The one opening that would seem after I end utilizing the entire scrolls. That may be the one probability now we have in killing that elf king.
