Everything unfolded slowly, as if in slow motion.

Sidhi is about to thrust a dagger with a terrible look on his face. The king of Maintia, his eyes wide open, motionless. And Patterson and his followers are slowly running to Sadie, trying to seize her.

I couldn't move on Ilimo and could only watch the scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sidi's dagger is thrust into the Maintian king. At that moment, there was a sound like glass breaking. This was the sound of the warding breaking. Ah, it brings back memories. It was the sound when Eril shattered the warding. Immediately after that, with a shock, everything goes black. My body instinctively goes rigid.

The Main Tier King doesn't have wards. He stubbornly refused to do so. But even so, he was the king of a kingdom and I could do nothing. So I had given Patterson and the others the warding stone that I had made, and perhaps the wards that the stone had put up had been broken.

My warding stone is strong enough that it cannot be broken by any ordinary skill, but Sidhi also has a warding skill. But Sidhi also has a warding skill. And she is an awakened woman, so I guess she can easily break through the warding stone.

Sidie, who had broken through the warding, held her dagger horizontally and placed it directly on the neck of King Maintia.

"King!

To his surprise, two of King Maintia's followers were swinging their swords at him. At that moment, I put a ward on Sidi.

Pow!

A sound like a balloon bursting echoes through the area. The sword stopped on Sadie's head, and the other sword stopped on her back. Both of them were surely aiming for her vital spot. If the warding had been delayed even for a moment, Sadie would have died for sure.

They must have sensed the warding. Patterson and the others looked at me.

"Wait, you guys!　Sidie!"

I jump down from Ilimo and rush to Sidi's side.

"Sidi!"

"............"

She held the dagger to the king's neck and muttered some kind of incantation. At that moment, a purple shimmering flame erupted from around the king.

"Y......L......San_......Zo_....... Yu......lsa......n......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I thought I heard such words, the shimmering flame disappeared. I released the warding and held Sidhi in my arms as if to strangle him.

"King!　You're hurt!　My Lord the King!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Patterson and his team quickly surround the king and take him into their arms. The king is wide-eyed and motionless, perhaps in shock.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Haaah, haaah, ah, haaah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Breathing on his shoulders, King Maintia makes an inarticulate sound. Around him, Patterson and the others call his name frantically. As I watch, I call out to Sidney.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's wrong, Sidney?　What happened?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She dropped the dagger she was holding and began to suffer, holding her head with both hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It hurts ...... my head ...... my head ...... I can't let go ...... I can't let go! ......"

"Sidi!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ugh, weeeeee~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She vomited every last thing in her stomach onto the snow. My voice and Patterson's echoed through the open meadow. The area was red from the setting sun.

At night we finally arrived at the capital of Agartha. Both Sidi and King Maintia look as if they have already fallen asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"King of Agartha ...... we are here ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Patterson and the others are talking to me, but they are somewhat reserved. That's true. Their master was attacked right in front of them. They tried to kill Sadie, even if it was on the spur of the moment. You can't blame them for having mixed feelings about me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry about today. I'm a little worried about King Maintia. I'll send May or Posehay right away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Patterson replies, looking down without making eye contact with me. One of his followers is whispering something to him. He turns over with a frustrated look on his face. The man who had been talking to him steps forward, bows, and opens his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you, King Agartha. I am also worried about my king. I would be grateful if you would allow me to have someone examine him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Okay. I'll send someone right away. Wait here for a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With these words, I left and returned to my residence in the capital.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I sent May and Matkal to the king of Maintia. I could have sent May alone, but I thought of the worst and asked Matkal to protect her. They were surprised by Sidi's behavior, but they transferred to Agartha without a single complaint.

I put Sidi on the bed in my room and told her that Loni or Chiwan would see her first thing tomorrow morning. She nodded slowly and fell asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I watch her sleeping face and think. This is crazy. It is unthinkable that Sidhi would attack a person out of the blue. Come to think of it, she was mumbling something about not letting her get away ....... What was that shimmering flame rising from the Main Tier king? I have a bad feeling about this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I called Fairy and told her to get the sleeping powder out of Sidie and to watch her for a while, then I left the room. I went down to the dining room and talked to Rico and Soleil about the day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is it a purple shimmer ......?　Is it a genie?　But I've never heard of a purple spirit ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Soleil looked troubled, trying to remember if there was any spirit that she knew of. In the end, after much thought and no conclusion, we agreed with Rico's suggestion to go back to the place where Sadie had gone on her rampage tomorrow and ask Soleil to check for the presence of a spirit, and we went to sleep that night.

It was the first night in a long time that I slept alone. ...... It was Matocal that day, but she had gone to Agartha and had not returned after all. And that night I had a dream.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A mysterious old woman comes slowly. She came to me with a creepy smile on her face. I turn my body to avoid the old woman, but I don't know what's funny. At that moment, the old woman's fingers lengthened to an unusually long length.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I reflexively ducked the attack. I thought her finger had extended, but it was a claw, and it was definitely aiming at my heart.

What the hell are you doing?　Who the hell are you?

"Yihihihihi!"

An old woman laughing in the same creepy voice as ever. She reached out both claws and attacked me as if she wanted to cut me into pieces. ......It was so fast. I barely managed to duck. I saw an opening and fired a scorching bullet at the old woman. But it slipped through her body and flew into the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hee-hee-hee!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Her claws strike with unbelievable speed. I quickly set up a ward.

Snap!　Punch it!　Paki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki saki

The attack was blocked by the wards. She is still putting all her strength into breaking my wards. The wards are making a nasty sound like fingernails scratching a blackboard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gishar!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just as the old woman let out a terrible cry, her claws tore through the ward and gouged out my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"UGGHHHHHHHH!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I screamed out from the pain. At that moment, I woke up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... was it a dream?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm gasping for air because it feels so real. Just as I am about to get off the bed to take a drink of water, I feel a sharp pain in my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　What the hell?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked and saw that my chest was shredded as if I had been scratched. And blood was dripping from it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is this ...... the ...... of that dream?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I scurry around to check my surroundings, but there is no one there. I try to use presence detection and magic detection, but there are no strange reactions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I cast a healing spell on the shredded area. The wound healed in an instant, but I didn't get any sleep that night until morning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The next day I took a vacation and accompanied Soleil to the place where Sadie had gone on a rampage. There, I asked her to check various things, but in spite of spending a long time there, we could not find out anything.

When I returned to the house in the late afternoon, Roni was there. She was in the middle of a conversation with May and Rico, who had already returned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, Roni. How is Sadie?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When she saw me, she stood up, bowed and opened her mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I just examined you. She had a quick bite to eat and then went right back to sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's wrong with him?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't say. I have just heard from Rico and Mei, and it seems that you have been chronically sleep deprived recently. If that is the case, it is not surprising that you have been experiencing headaches and vomiting. Certainly, your inspiration was tremendous. With that much information welling up in your head, it is natural to have a headache. Since you seem to be very tired now, we have given you some medicine to help you sleep soundly. I would like to talk to you again when you wake up after the medication wears off."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So ...... Sidie's going to be okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I think you will be fine now, as long as you get enough rest. First of all, I'd like to see how he's doing for the rest of the day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I'll be looking forward to working with you. And, Mei. How was King Maintia?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Same as Sadie. She's asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But King Maintia woke up this morning and suddenly he got hungry and ate quite a lot of food and then went back to sleep. He woke up around noon, ate a meal again, and then went back to sleep. I examined him, but there were no symptoms that were of particular concern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. Can I ask you to keep working on that one, too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Leave it to me. I'll come back in the morning to check on you.

With these words, we ate dinner. Although Siddee was not there, the usual scene was there, with Peris's cooking and Loni's gluttony as always surprising everyone and making them laugh hysterically.

I went to bed early, having slept very little the day before. Today was the day I was to sleep with Rico. Her belly is getting bigger and bigger. It's not hard to tell if it's a boy or a girl by now, but she's not afraid to tell me that it's a boy. I'm so determined to have a boy at all costs, but I can't help but think ...... if it's a girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rico still sleeps in my arms. She likes to sleep on my left arm. As always, holding Riko in my arms is really soothing. I was able to fall asleep with such a contented feeling.

And that night, I had another dream.

"Totan!"

A voice calls me from behind. When I turned around, Alyria was there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, Allyria."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hold me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come here."

Allyria comes running with her arms raised and flapping. I pick her up and carry her in my arms. Normally she would be in my arms, looking around, but not this time. This time was different. She put her hands around my neck and stayed in my arms.

"What's wrong, Ali?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

I looked over and saw that Alyria's mouth had been ripped open up to her ear. And in her opened mouth were sharp teeth.

"Aggghhh!"

I grab Alyria by the neck with my right hand as she tries to bite my shoulder. Alyria is trying to bite me with great force. I put more force into my right hand.

"What ...... are you ......?"

"Gaaaahhh ...... ugoaaaaaah!"

The monster is still trying to bite me, making animal-like noises. Already it looks less like Aelyria and more like a hideous lizard with sharp teeth.

"You did this to me yesterday!　Why are you coming after me!"

"What the hell?"

I squeeze my right hand harder and strangle the monster's neck. Perhaps this is the true identity of the shimmering flame of the Main Tier king. Maybe this is the one who did the Siddee thing. The monster seems to be in a lot of pain and is already unable to speak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Nos. ...... nos. ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A familiar voice comes from the monster. Who is this ......?　Who's haunted?

That's when I woke up.

"Re-...... Nos. Ri......No......s......s......"

I can still hear the voices from my dream. I looked up and saw an unbelievable scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... my right hand was clamping down on Rico's thin neck, tightening it as hard as I could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Whoa!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I let go of his hand in a panic with a voice that sounds like an exclamation. Rico is lying there with his mouth half-open, not moving a muscle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Rico!　Rico!　RICOH!!!!"

My screams echoed through the house in the dead of night.
