While eating in the restaurant, there was a sudden bright light that envelops all of us, this also cause our eyes to be heavy, forcing us to fall asleep. The first one to wake up was me, Jotaro Spencer.
I look around my surrounding wondering why there are so many men wearing some kind of knight armor around us. Am I dreaming? All I can see are Knights in s.h.i.+ning armor with most of them having long blonde hair and figures of well-endowed men.
Looks like the armor are made from steel, it is reflecting the light from the ceiling but it is by no means hard to look at. The people wearing them have big arms and even though they are wearing an armor, you could safely a.s.sume that they have broad chest. You could say all of their bodies are built properly with precision to power and balance. They really give off the atmosphere that they are Knights of a Kingdom similar to those that I see in western movies.
I noticed I have a droll in my mouth while looking at the knights so I wipe it off using my left hand.
“…*ahem*… Where am I? I remember being with Henko and Takeo” [Jotaro]
After I look at my sides, few feet away from me, I saw the beautiful sleeping face of Henko and Takeo with a really bad posture… and seriously, you scratch your belly when you’re asleep?
While I was retorting to Takeo in my mind, someone wearing different sets of silver armor with blue majestic cape came close.
“Humans…? Hexis, I thought we are summoning a High Beast” [???]
Speaking with a commanding tone, the guy with the blue cape has black hair, and height around the same as me. Looking at his face, I’m sure that he is popular with women.
“It’s impossible to
summon a human! Unless…” [Hexis]
Wearing a purple robe, Hexis is a guy that looks like on his late 60s. He is holding a staff with exquisite carvings for its design and a transparent blue crystal ball at the tip of it. He has a long white wavy hair and beard that covers his entire mouth. He looks like a magician from a certain cartoon show.
“What Hexis? I having trouble understanding this outcome like Aradin here but I would like to know if you have any idea on what caused this.” [???]
This time, a guy with a crown on his head sitting on a royal big chair at the end of the hall asked Hexis with his deep voice. Apparently, the name of the guy with majestic blue cape is Aradin. Aradin, the name itself sounds powerful. I will make sure to remember it in my heart.
“I’m sorry your Highness, but it seems that the Ether Crystal that we used is unexpectedly filled with an unknown mana” [Hexis]
Based on how they interact with each other, the guy with the crown is their King while everyone else are his subordinates or something similar to that. That is not important right now however, I realized something just now.
(They are speaking in j.a.panese but the place, behaviour and those Knights… and a King? Am I really dreaming? It feels weird looking at these knights while speaking in j.a.panese. If not for Henko and Takeo sleeping not far away from me, I might really think that I am dreaming… Well I’m going to wake them up while they’re still busy talking to each other.) [Jotaro]
While thinking that, I look at the direction of Takeo and Henko.
“Hmmmm… Henko….. gi….me…….hu….g.. hmmm” [Takeo]
“Takeo YOU JERK” [Henko]
Henko punch Takeo while they are still in their deep sleep.
“…..O…K… They seemed fine….time to wake
wake them up” [Jotaro]
Decided on an action to take, I slowly move towards Henko and Takeo’s location without standing up.
“Unknown Mana? Hmm… Summon the Royal Princesses! [King]
“Yes your majesty! [Knight 1 and 2]
The two Knights swiftly left the room to carry out the King’s order. I don’t have to worry about them however so I continue on moving slowly into my friends location.
“Hexis, I think I know why we summoned Humans instead of a High Beast” [King]
“Why your majesty?” [Hexis]
“Mana of the Ancient” [King]
“No way. I thought that was a Myth?” [Aradin]
“It is not Aradin, the blood flowing into my veins are the same blood of the First King. The hero capable of manipulating Ancient Mana” [King]
“NOW I GET IT! So that’s what this is!!” [Hexis]
While Hexis and the King are having that exchange, I arrived at Henko and Takeo’s location however the door suddenly open which startled me. Two girls step inside and stop on their spot after taking few steps from the door. One of them is wearing a typical blue princess outfit with tiara on her head, She did an elegant bow and speaks.
“Princess Atlanta and Katleya, answered your majesty call. You summoned us father?” [Atlanta]
Another girl wearing white fencing like attire next to Princess Atlanta’s also bowed and asked.
“What is it that you need from us, father?” [Katleya]
“I see… where is Lumiere? No matter, did one of you use the Ether Crystal for Magic Training or Mana Control? [King]
“No Father” [Katleya and Atlanta]
“ummm… your majesty..” [Aradin]
“….. Aradin, I think I know what you are about to say” [King]
“uhmm.. I have let Princess Lumiere use the Ether Crystal at the Mage Hall to practice Magic and Mana Control. I apologize.” [Aradin]
“Sigh… Just as I thought. You do not know about our Lineage Aradin so I do not blame you”
Aradin deeply bow
deeply bow his head after those words. After giving a small nod, the King faced Hexis.
”Hexis, listen to me, as I’ve said before I share the same blood of the First King. Naturally so as my daughters. In this scenario, I believe Lumiere poured her mana inside the Ether Crystal but doing that act is dangerous to the point that it was even capable of summoning Heroes. Ether Crystal normally cannot contain mana from ancient bloodline but luckily, Lumiere is a genius mage. The proof is that she was able to contain her mana into the Ether Crystal without breaking it. I actually did not expect for her to be able to do it. The only problem is her unlady personality and her adventurer spirit. *sigh* Her talent for magic is wasted if she keep this up” [King]
“YOUR MAJESTY IF THE MYTH IS TRUE THEN… THEY MIGHT BE HEROES FROM GAIA?!!” [Hexis]
“Calm down Hexis! *sigh* I forgot Hexis is obsessed with story books regarding Heroes” [King]
While giving a worried look at Hexis, Aradin also turn his head at Hexis and seemed to understand what his King means.
“Aradin. Next time, make sure to use Magic Crystals for any of my daughters training. Forbid the use of Ether Crystal unless I deemed so. If in any case that they insist on using the Ether Crystal, they need to ask for permission directly to me. Also, this conversation will stay in this room. The truth about our ancient blood must also be kept as a secret” [King]
“As you wish” [Aradin]
While all of this talking is taking place. I tried to wake up my friends.
“Wake up Takeo, Henko” [Jotaro]
While shaking up the two sleeping beauties, I called out to them.
“Hmmm… is it morning already?” [Henko]
“5 more minutes mom…” [Takeo]
Henko is slowly opening her eyes but Takeo won’t wake up.
won’t wake up. I guess I have no choice.
I get close to Takeo, putting my mouth next to his left ear and whisper.
“Wake Up Takeo~ If you don’t… I’ll steal Henko from you” [Jotaro]
“NOOOO! Wait…. What?” [Takeo]
Takeo suddenly stood up and nervously glances at his surrounding
“Where are we? Wha..?” [Takeo]
“I don’t know” [Jotaro]
Takeo has this really dumbed look. I smiled at Takeo with the brightest smile that I can show him to ease his uneasiness.
“Where the heck are we?” [Henko]
“Good Morning and Welcome! Heroes from Gaia!” [King]
The King suddenly spoke then the eyes of everyone in this room looked at us. Is he talking to us? What does he mean by Heroes from Gaia? I did not really listen to their conversation earlier but I think I heard the word Gaia. This is kind of intimidating but Takeo had this face like he doesn’t know who he is while looking around restlessly. Is he still dreaming? Hey! Pull yourself together!
“I am the King of this country. My name is Raymond Basil V and you are inside the Royal Palace located at the Capital of Basil. We are trying to summon a Sacred Beast or a High Beast but instead we accidentally summoned you three. The catalyst that we have used contains mana of ancient lineage, most probably different from the world of yours.” [King Raymond]
Different from our world? What does he mean? Also, what does he mean by mana? Is it that? The one you can see in games or read in light novels? While I was thinking that Takeo while doing a gut pose suddenly shouts.
“YES!!!….. otherworld with Henko!!” [Takeo]
After very few seconds of that announcement,
“Oh, right… Jotaro is with us. *sigh* ” [Takeo]
Everyone was looking at him and Henko was also dumbfounded from his sudden outburst. Honestly, What the heck is this guy thinking?
