Something feels not right

Mr. Doon walked toward some of his inventory and searched for something inside. Then he grabs something in his hand.

Doon: "There it is, this is the equipment I have to help carry the shield on the back."

The equipment is made from animal skin and it is connected to some iron part somehow. (Reference: The form is like a bag chest for a man. But the bag is an iron and there's some iron hanger in the middle. It used to put the shield grip inside.)

Doon: "I made this only for a specific shield. The normal hanger iron will break easily since the shield is heavy. And this one can handle that heavy since it's made from tungsten." He walks to me again and shows me the hanger part.

Doon: "This one is the same size, but this small thing is actually heavy." Then he over the equipment to me.

I grab the equipment and it weighs light, and I can feel the heavy part was on the hanger part. And I wore it and tried to put the shield on my back. I am a bit confused about how I lift the shield to my back without a body infusion. Then Mr. Doon help me with how to do it properly. So he grabs my body and instructs me to turn it over. And he instructed me to get down a little bit and pushed me back to the shield handle. And he told me to stand up.

And I can feel I lifted the shield on my back and it is heavy. But I can still lift it because I'm using my back or in physical logic, using my whole body.

My mind: "Omg. This is heavy. I think I could only lift this for only a moment." My head turned red for just a second.

Grel : "Okay this is a big deal to carry."

Then I slowly get down and grab the shield so it won't fall.

Doon: "Hahaha... Don't worry young prince. You are a bulwark family after all."

Grel : "Sir, you carry this? With your body?" Since his body size was like a dwarf.

Doon: "Hahaha... Of course not. I was lying, I just want to see how you expect it. I used a lever to help me move the shield to the single wheelbarrow." He explains it by showing me the tools he mentions.

Grel : "So I can't just lift this around easily."

Doon: "Well young prince, you are the one who insisted about it to make this one. This is heavier than your father's shield if you ask. But, I hope for the best for the young princes to get and find those crystals sooner."

His right, the crystal will help me spend less on casting the power than the normal cast.

After talking a little longer with Mr. Doon, I decided to leave now because the sun was about to fall, and it was already late noon. I walk outside after paying the prize to him.

Grel : "Thank you, Mr. Doon, I will come back again sooner and take the shield." I decided to leave the shield here for a moment and thought it would be easier for me to bring this home later after everything I needed here was done.

Doon: "No worries young prince, it's just my job. Thanks for the business."

Then I walk off and go to my rented inn. Mr. Doon waved to me from behind to say goodbye.

At this point with the shield I had, I'm thinking if I need to do more weight lifting and increase my body physically to only lift the shield without body aura power.

Nah... It will make me look like a monster with a huge bicep and body. The only way is to find the crystal as fast as possible.

After a moment I finally arrived in the bedroom. Surprisingly there's no one there, it seems everyone left somewhere else. And I decided to meditate and recover my missing power after using body aura power for lifting my shield before.

And it doesn't take long since I only cast it a little bit.

While I'm doing my meditation. Perspective has changed to the other side. Deep inside the kingdom of the demons.

A girl wearing dark clothes from top to the bottom. The detail was not showing, because all the clothes were covered by a full dark aura. On her chest, There's a Roman numeral on the left side of her chest. The color was bright white and it shines and glows like neon in the dark room. The number is 'I X'. (Reference: there's a space between every Roman numeral). Her arms are still visible and half of her head is visible to see. And she wears half a shirt and her stomach is visible.

She is laughing and standing.

I X: "Hehehe..." She widely smirked at someone in front of her and she smiled showing her tooth.

The girl: "What is this..." Someone walks into the room.

I X: "Someone who can't kill a child..." Then from the dark, after he keeps walking in, it shows their Roman numeral. It was 'V I'. And it was a male. Same as the girl before, his clothes were completely covered by a full dark aura around them. And the hand is still visible and half of his head is also visible.

I X: "Is it because you just feel bad killing it? Hehehe..." She still smirks and shows her teeth while laughing.

Then the man with the V I number stopped walking.

V I: "Can you use your mind and think before you talk?"

The girl was laughing.

I X: "Ahahaha! Why should I think if I can just kill it with my hand?" She raises her hand and it has dark aura power infused surrounding it.

V I: "Hmp... No wonder you are weak."

I X: "Haaahh... Do you think you're stronger than me? Let me just remind you how many people I kill compared with you."

Then there's another male voice. His also standing and they have a full dark aura around his clothes like the other.

V I I: "She's right you know, why don't you kill that girl?"

V I: "You should care about your own business."

Then another male voice was talking. The voice is like a little man.

I I I: "What is this, a little kid talking for the first time here."

Then the number V I I look at number I I I eyes like want to murder him.

I I I: "Huaah... I'm sorry. I don't want to die now." He smirked "Little man."

Then all of the numbers here realize someone is coming. Their eyes all wide open and quickly kneel toward the chair in front of them.

Then suddenly there's a heavy burdening aura that such three people are kneeling like a heavy gravity forcing them to hug the floor. The surrounding room became shaking up and down like the earth's gravity fighting to neutralize this gravity.

It was number I, he suddenly appeared and sat down at his throne. But there's only his dark aura that appears here, not his body.

I: " Could you be quieter."

Then the shaking gravity is over and the shucking gravity is back to normal.

Then suddenly the number I I, number I V, number V, and number V I I I appear kneeling to the number I side by side and it was lined up from number I I to the number I X. They all appear only with their dark aura, not the body.

I I: "Please give us the order. My king."

The number I open up his eyes. It doesn't appear anything, but there's still a line indicating him just opening his eyes.

After a moment he finally says a word.

I: "@#$&*^$" He speaks with demon language. Everyone was in shock hearing it.

I I: "I understand."

Then the perspective goes back to Grel in his bedroom who is still meditating, and facing the opposite side from the window. The time is already about entering the night.

I quickly open up my eyes, I feel something just happening but I don't know what it is. It scares me a lot.

I realized I already meditate quite long enough to replace my power again.

Maybe I should start asking Kiwi . I hope she's not getting scared if I mention something bad to her.

Arhi : "You did meditate?"

I'm a bit shocked. I move my head a bit to the left side to see behind me. It was Arhi standing behind me. She was leaning beside the window and seemed like she was waiting for me until I was finishing my meditation.

Grel : "Ah, yes... How long have you been waiting."

Arhi : "Hmmm not too long."

Grel : "... I see..."

Arhi : "While there is no one else here, what's the plan now? Would we leave this kingdom as you planned before or do you have something else in your mind?"

I realized we are already here for a few days, and suddenly Kiwi just appears out of nowhere. I was thinking for a moment about the plan I'd made before.

Grel : "We should probably leave earlier... And find a clue to bring Kiwi back to her home."

Arhi : "You already found any clue about Kiwi ?"

I shake my head.

Grel : "We need to ask about every detail Kiwi knows."

Arhi paused for a moment.

Arhi : "I see..."

Then the Arhi moves and sits down on the bed.

Arhi : "About what happened yesterday, are you really serious about what you said?" She mentions a word I've said to Fasmel like a proposing word.

Then I turned around and saw her sit down toward my back.

Then I turned my body around and grabbed her hands.

Grel : "I wouldn't leave you either. Would you want to be my future?"

Arhi paused for a moment.

Arhi : "Huh???" She quickly becomes upset.

Grel : "You see. Both of you are beautiful, it might be a great idea if we live together hahaha..."

Then the perspective changed to Fasmel walking with Kiwi and about to enter my rented inn.

Fasmel : "You like the food right?" She opens up the door below. And both entered the inn

Kiwi nodded: "I want to eat there every day." They both go upstairs toward the door to my bedroom.

Fasmel : "That's right. Everyone likes that tavern including me you know." Then he opens up the door.

Fasmel and Kiwi saw me doing push ups while Arhi sat down on top of me.

Kiwi : "Huaah... I want to play too!" she quickly runs toward Arhi and she sits down on top of me.

I can feel it get heavier. It was probably 60kg on top of me.

Fasmel : "It seems interesting. I would like to" Before she stepped in further, Arhi cut her word.

Arhi : "You stop there. And don't even try to come closer."

Fasmel : "E... Eeehh..."

Kiwi seems to have fun sitting down on me while I'm struggling to push up.

Grel : "Could you let me go now? I have been doing it for quite a long time."

Arhi : "You sound still can do more there, If I remember correctly, you want to carry two people on you."

Eh... Does she mean what I said before?

Arhi : "Hey Fasmel , fast and sit down on him."

Fasmel : "Yeay..." She walks in. "There you go" Then I can feel it becoming heavier. It must be 100kg on top of me right now. And I struggled to carry them.

Arhi : "Come on do it more."

This woman... I will revenge you someday.

Then I tried to push up.

Kiwi : "Woah. It still moving"

I do another push-up, and it gets more and more struggling.

Fasmel : "C'mon Grel . You can do it!"

Fasmel sounds cheering me up, even though she doesn't understand why I'm doing this.

Then the last time I do another push-up, I give up and just fall to the floor. My hand already hurt.
