Chapter 65: You're the best

"I knew it would be an impossible mission ..."

Hatsumi lowered her head, this kidnapping event far outweighed the danger, as happened in the novel.

Margareth's existence complicated things, simply the level of this mission was beyond Hatsumi's capabilities.

[Master, the system will never broadcast impossible missions]

Lupeta knew this, so she could only sigh, Hatsumi is still too inexperienced not to mention her personality ...

But even so, if Hatsumi had intervened a little more, the result would be different, as the system said, it does not issue impossible missions.

"Fuck me! It's clearly impossible! Enemies are very powerful ... They are Transcendent ... Transcendent!"

Looking coldly at her pixie, Hatsumi gritted her teeth, this is an abuse, Hatsumi did not want power and she did not want problems, the only thing she wanted was to be able to live in peace as a Hikikomori.

Hatsumi knew it in her heart, she was very weak and the only reason that she now had two tails, is due to the system points awarded to her for flirting with Arthur, she was trash in general, nothing impressive in herself

"How do you want me to complete the mission? It was suicide! Lupeta tell me honestly, what were my chances of winning?"

[The odds were 10% ...]

If Hatsumi had cooperated a little more with Arthur and implemented a more elaborate plan, with the knowledge of the novel in her head, it would not be so difficult that 10% would become 40 to 50% and if she had activated more events with Arthur where she would accumulate more Origin points, he would have the opportunity to activate a special event and acquire an Innate ability, that 40% and 50%, would become 80%.

But all this required Hatsumi's decision, even the slightest change could alter the outcome.

"10%? Do you really want me to believe this? It was 0%! Don't lie to me! ...."

With her whole body shaking, Hatsumi's emotions got out of control, she in her old life is just an ordinary woman, she had never gone through something like this before, it was completely impossible for her to act bravely, just like all those reincarnated protagonists, this it is reality, not a game.

(All these novels suck!)

Thinking of this, Hatsumi became even more depressed.

"I ... I didn't want any of this ... I ... I don't even want to be with Arthur ..."

[If that's true ... Then ... Why has her affection level risen so high, Master?]

"Hey?"

Opening her eyes in disbelief, a screen appeared in front of Hatsumi, likewise showing Arthur's and her affection parameters.

The affect parameters had 5 levels, divided into colors.

Green was the lowest level, as well as the level where those people who knew each other for the first time were, the Normal level, at this level was Arthur, not even with two years of knowing each other, his level of affection for Hatsumi rose a bar, Arthur literally saw Hatsumi as his distant cousin and nothing more.

As for Hatsumi, her parameter level for Arthur was triggered, her values ​​were at level 3 about to enter level 4, pink color.

This level was all those people who were in love, at this moment if Arthur asked Hatsumi for a kiss, she would not reject it, it is very possible that even she herself has the initiative to ask for it.

"Eh? Why? ... When? I ..."

Hatsumi couldn't believe it, she didn't even know when her values ​​of affection for Arthur got so high and of course she denied it.

"This is a lie ... I don't like Arthur! This system is faulty"

[There are no errors in the system, her Mistress her values ​​rose a lot when Arthur found her, her emotions were unstable at that time, well ... I guess she should know the rest ...]

".. !!"

The mind plays with people, when someone is subjected to enormous psychological pressure such as extreme danger, these people tend to cling to life and also those who have served as support.

It is possible that Hatsumi did not feel affection for Arthur in the past, but during these two years of mutual contact, add the fact that Arthur was Hatsumi's favorite character, her defenses have been reduced and her values ​​of affection have gone going up very slowly.

However, Arthur was the one who took her out of the hole and protected her from the elemental rats, only Arthur offered her a helping hand at that moment, so she unknowingly became her emotional pillar.

Likewise, her beautiful appearance and her gentleman personality played a very important role, that smile on her face that everything will be fine, it was the most lethal for the heart of a lady, especially Hatsumi, a girl from another world, where women have dreamed at least once of being rescued by her prince, in addition to the self-sacrifice that Arthur underwent to save his sisters, Hatsumi's emotions simply gave way at that moment ...

"I...."

Falling on her knees, Hatsumi's gaze was empty, she swore to herself that she would not fall in love with Arthur, this character was too troublesome and also his existence is very special, to avoid these problems, Hatsumi closed her heart.

Who would have thought that her defenses would be easily pierced by a simple smile, Hatsumi wanted to deny it, but deep inside her she knew it was not possible ...

[It's no use denying it at this point, Master]

Shaking her head, Lupeta continued.

[This is not necessarily bad, at least her feelings are real, as for her future, that depends on you Master]

Hatsumi heard everything, but she decided not to answer, her mind was in chaos and she did not know what to do.

(I must ... be stronger ... or I will die)

With Arthur kidnapped, the time of the great war accelerated, in the novel Hatsumi lived, but now this was uncertain, without Arthur around her, Hatsumi no longer trusted she could survive ...

(Arthur ...)

She likewise she squeezed her chest and thought of her cousin, really now unfortunately not having done a little more ..

*Doorbell.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the Hidden Mission]

[Task Finished: she survives the invasion of the elemental rats and avoids the kidnapping of Arthur Van Panthohime]

[Reward: 25,000 origin points, an Innate Ability, and a Legendary Grade Artifact]

[Do you want to accept the reward?]

[If not]

Suddenly the screen of the system changed and showed the success of the mission, likewise Lupeta who was consoled to Hatsumi, began to dance for the success of the mission.

Hatsumi was left speechless by this abrupt change, there was no logic that the Failure mission was supposed to, the system itself said so ...

Why did I complete the mission?

(No wait..)

Suddenly a possibility crossed her mind, that a great joy welled up inside her, her lips trembled and she asked the dancing Pixie about her.

"Lupeta ... It could be .."

[It is what is weighing Master, Arthur Van Phantohime managed to escape]

"Yay!"

Jumping for joy, Hatsumi's tails swayed, likewise she hugged Lupeta who was still in the air.

[Master ... I can't ... Breathe .... Please .. Let go of me ... Crushes me]

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ... Arthur, as expected of my favorite character ... You are the best!"

Trying to escape from Hatsumi's arms, Lupeta pleaded while Hatsumi thanked the heavens for this, Arthur doesn't disappoint her.

-------------------

"It's all over ..."

[You did everything you could, you don't have to get depressed]

At the same time that Hatsumi spoke with Lupeta, Charlotte spoke with Claudia, this minor Goddess, she consoled her Disciple.

Quite a few events happened and it was clear that this is due to a big conspiracy behind the scenes, it was not the right time for a little princess like Charlotte to stop.

"Master ... Is there any chance, that Arthur can escape?"

Despite the fact that Arthur was taken under her nose, Charlotte clung to a small hope, she knew Arthur very well and this boy was very cunning and intelligent.

In the novel and the game, his intelligence was at the top as well as his strength and the words that Arthur said to him before, are still heard in his head ...

[100% chance to survive]

Charlotte refused to believe that they were empty words of a child, she knew her character and she knew there should be a reason.

[The chances are very low, the people who activated this barrier are Transcendent and Arthur will not be able to escape from them]

Shaking her head, Claudia did not want Charlotte to cling to an illusion, as someone of high caliber, she knew that it was impossible for a child to escape from a Transcendent.

No matter how many tricks she has she will be crushed by sheer force, there was no escape.

"I understand...."

Although she already knew the answer, Charlotte was still disappointed.

"Royal Mother!"

Suddenly Carter ran out and hugged his mother who came down from heaven and without wasting a second explained in detail, being the favorite son, Carter was not afraid of Damaris's wrath, only Charlotte and Lilian lowered their eyes and also They approached at a slow pace, they knew they had failed in this and as princesses, they had dishonored the royal family by allowing their fiancé to be kidnapped in front of them.

Damaris, who listened carefully to the words of her son, could not help but frown, everything that her son had gone through, as well as Arthur's exploits, left her impressed, likewise Elizabeth and Phenelope approached.

"We welcome Her Majesty, the Queen!" x2

Kneeling on one knee both women gracefully saluted loyalty.

"Get up, this is not the time for meaningless ceremonies, explain the situation"

Waving her hand, Damaris didn't want to waste time anymore, her future son-in-law was kidnapped and she needed information.

"Your Majesty of her, I will explain ..."

Phenelope stepped forward and explained everything, her words coincide with Carter's, however Carter's information was limited regarding the World Artifacts and the substantial strength of the criminal, she also explained the current situation, where the elemental rats have been forced out of their holes.

They had caused a lot of damage and the punishment will not be light.

"For now Mrs. Margareth is after the criminals ..."

"..."

Raising a hand to her chin, Damaris thought deeply, she was quite surprised that her teacher could be trapped in a barrier of a World Artifact, Margareth was in the top 10 of the most powerful beings in the world, her power was not to brag, without However this also said something about the criminals, she was weaker than Margareth, otherwise they would not take so much trouble, but they also had a strength to consider, perhaps they are people who are at the top of the strongest.

(For the moment I will wait for my teacher)

Leading to a conclusion, Damaris did not move anymore and took Carter in her arms, even if she was tracking the kidnappers it was useless with Margareth chasing them, her teacher is more powerful than her and has enough tracking methods, she did not think that these idiots will achieve escape.

Also, Arthur's virginity tattoo was blocked, so it was useless to use it as a connection.

"Hm?"

Suddenly a fissure opened in the sky and Margareth emerged from it, everyone was instantly excited, since if Margareth returned it means that the chase is over.

However when seeing Margareth return alone without Arthur, everyone's heart could not help sinking, Margareth was also furious and came down at high speed from the sky.

"Mother! ... My son"

Elizabeth could not bear it anymore and asked, this was her son after all, her greatest treasure, not being able to see him and having him in her arms brought her great despair.

"I didn't arrive in time ... I'm sorry, Elizabeth"

These words were like thunder for everyone present, that even Margareth could not reach the kidnappers left them incredulous, Margareth is someone who can make stars move, that the kidnappers will manage to escape it was too good shocking.

Elizabeth took a step back and her body trembled, her nine tails shook with force, her precious son was successfully abducted.

"But all is not lost ... My puppy managed to escape"

But before Elizabeth and Damaris spoke, Margareth spoke again, but this time there was a smile on her face, she was very proud of her grandson.

After all, during Arthur's battle with No. 37, Arthur imitated her and thanks to that, she was able to win.
