Chapter 39: Encounter
2212 Words
"Good evening everyone and to the future saviors of the kingdom. I'm here the King is praying for your success in your future journey and hope that one of your heroes will end this endless war of humans and demons. To give my appreciation in advance I held this feast for everyone to enjoy tonight."
His words were then followed by a huge crowd of claps and appreciation.
This is the first time I meet the King in person. So this is the king of the kingdom. He looks very powerful and amazing. Despite his age, I think his body is well built.
I then turn my head to the pile of food in front of me.
There's a huge roasted boar-like monster, a pile of crispy fried chicken, and many more. I get some meat and pair it with rice.
This meal will be full-filling.
While I'm busy chowing down my food some people walked toward me and greeted me.
"You're so cute! Are you reincarnated here?"
A girl with brown hair asked me.
"Yup, I'm that person."
Well, I'm an elf but I can't say that because this kingdom hates elf like me. If they find out they will immediately execute me.
"I see a reincarnation is also an option in entering this world... My name is Yuina Sasaki. You can just call me Yui."
"Yui... -san...."
"Don't add the '-san-' I want to be friends with you."
"Option in entering this world, you mean you're not reincarnated."
"Yes, I and my classmate were summoned in this world by the sage. We are summoned to fight the demon lord and bring peace to this world. Sounds really good right? It's like a fantasy, I'm always dreaming about this since I was a kid."
Even, when I was a kid I really adore those fantasy magic anime every weekend morning.
I use a lighter and pretend it's fire magic before and then I accidentally burn the curtain on nearly burning the house. I thought my mother is going to scold me for being careless, but she hugs me tightly at that time.
My mother is not that bad I guess, I just grow up to hate her, because I don't know anything about her. I hate myself, now that I will never gonna meet her again. I feel sad that I can't even say "I'm sorry" to her.
"Yui is that the reincarnated. I heard you're strong. Do you want to spar with me?"
This one looks like a battle maniac. He suddenly starts to swing his sword around.
"What are you doing? What if you hit some people? You're still not changing, in this world, you need to be careful. This is no our world... Sorry if that muscle brain scared you. I'm Mashiro Tatsumoto. I believe you get the ticket to join our expedition to world tree Island. I think it's better if you started to know us."
Behind him the four people.
"I'm Kaede Kishimoto, I will play as the support of the party."
"I'm Hikaru Okimoto, Just as you see, I love fighting, I'm a champion in Kendo in Japan. Do you want to know my training routine?"
A girl pushes him away.
"No one is interested in that... Your face is really cute. I envy you... My name is Nana Shiro."
"I think you have such a pretty face."
I replied.
Nana then blushed after my fluttery. She is so pure inside.
"You already know me, I'm Yoshiaki Yamauchi. I'm a spear user, I will become the attacker of the party."
"Nice to meet you all, I will do my best and not became a burden in your expedition."
I said.
"Are you traveling alone?"
Nana asked me and take a sip of her juice in her hand.
"I just made my traveling companion but is a shame that she didn't have won this ticket. I don't even know what's so good about this ticket really."
"Well, many people like to have that ticket because they want to train with the heroes. One's an ordinary adventurer train with the heroes in the high magic zone. They will gain a huge amount of experience and level up faster than anyone."
I see, that why many people want this ticket. so that they can train with the heroes and gain more experience.
This world is really like a role-playing game. The higher the level you are the more powerful you are.
I don't think they will notice but let me see your stats.
Statu-check.

Title:
After seeing their stats, I can tell that Yoshiaki is a very serious one compare to the other four. I will join these five heroes in their journey to world tree Island tomorrow.
I wonder what's going to happen there.
While eating I felt an evil stare toward me.
I turn my glance behind me and saw a man with a knight uniform.
Who is that guy and he's looking at me with that eyes?
A man then walked toward him with a girl beside him. I recognized them immediately because they are some of the first people I saw in this world.
That girl is Shopia, the girl the confessed her love to Retto in Crystal dungeon and that other man is Dust. One of Retto's squad members.
Seems like Retto did succeed and teleporting them back to a safe area before.
It's Retto's responsibility to save them, he is the one that drags them to the crystal dungeon to train after all.
Everyone then started to look in a specific direction and everyone is speechless.
What is going on? I then walked toward the center of direction and saw a blinding beauty.
The hair reaching her shoulders seemed ironed, a little curly. Her skin’s white as snow. Because of this, her fine, bloody red lips looked alluring despite her not having any accessories on.
When the gust blew, so her hair fluttered. I unwittingly scented upon a fragrance.
So sweet.
Who is this beautiful person?
"Everyone give your respect to the heir of the kingdom and princess of Grandellia... Princess Charlotte Arc Angel."
After that Announcement.
I started to wonder realized why Retto is madly in love with this princess.
This princess is really someone you would wish to protect even you don't know her. She is someone you need to help even it cost your own life. That beauty of hers can turn and bend the law of this world.
Even though she is very beautiful, you will never like to think something awful about her.
What is this feeling my heart run so fast?
"Princess Charlotte is really breathtaking. I wish to have a little sister like that."
Nana said.
"The guy that will marry her is really lucky. I wish we summon in the time the crystal dungeon still exists."
"i***t! That dungeon is very dangerous and one saw its the deepest level."
The princess has a chat with his father and then talked to her siblings.
I'm still amazed at her beauty, I feel like I'm very ugly.
Don't do that I hate comparing myself to others. When I did that I feel like I'm a scumbag. I should price to be more self-loving and compete only to myself. That's the very reason I offer Akane being her friend instead of rival.
I then lost my attention and bump into someone. It's a girl a bit taller than me.
I immediately bow my head and then look at her.
I didn't deactivate my Status-check skill and I forcefully see her stats.
Name:
Race:
HP: (+99,999,999)

Title: (more...)
My body started to shake in fear.
As I lift my head she is staring at me with her red scarlet eyes.
"You use status-check on me... I'm impressed you saw my status. The percentage of succeeding seeing my stats is 0.000000001% you know. If you have my compliment for that."
Now that I'm looking closely at this girl. I find out that she nearly has the same face as princess Charlotte.
No, it's really the same, but she is not attracting attention.
"Charlotte..."
I muttered.
"You can even see through my barrier, that's amazing."
This girl in front of me is the demon king. She is currently blending in the crowd and eating with the people in the kingdom.
What should I do? Should I shout here and reveal her identity.
No, I can't do that. She has skills and abilities that are beyond anyone in this room. She is level 999 which must be the maximum level in this world. Her skill all reached level 50 and she has a huge pool of magic. And her HP is in millions.
I think she can m******e everyone here if she wanted.
"Don't be terrified, I not here to kill. I'm here to enjoy. I want to enjoy this party too and celebrate the arrival of the heroes. They will train and become stronger to face me in the final battle."
"Why you're here?"
"I wanted to see their start because I will definitely see their end. I can feel that none of them can really defeat me. I killed lots of heroes myself. I'm living for a long time and became immortal. Skills and magic can't kill me anymore. The only thing that can kill me is the creator."
"Creator?"
"The wish you can do with the creator is the only power in this world that can kill me. Well, if the creator is really live then it's possible. Also, let's make my identity a secret. If I got angry I will kill this person including the princess."
Demon king said and go back to the table full of food.
I gulp my throat and feared her.
That demon king is weird. she is even talking to one of the heroes.
In my eye's I saw the princess protect. The heroes that will protect and the demon king that will destroy.
This party is really mess up in my vision. I can't even enjoy this food on my plate anymore.
Seeing how powerful the demon king was I think she is right. The power of the creator is the only thing that can kill her.
Even these heroes trained. They will still be killed b the demon king in the end.
I finally made up my mind.
My purpose in this world.
I will find the creator and with a world full of laughter and peace.
