251 New World?

As the ground in front of Queresha shined and Jin-ah appeared, But there was a problem....

Jin-ah was standing with her legs wide, her left arm behind her with her palm upturned, and her right arm in front of her face with an opened palm. She was striking a pose…..

"..." Queresha didn't know what to say and Zenobia was too lost in her own mind to see what was happening around her.

"Eh? Q-Queresha Unnie?" Jin-ah was shocked at first but then saw Queresha looking at her with a straight face.

Queresha didn't say anything and walked past Jin-ah with Zenobia following along.

"AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING!!!!!" Jin-ah shouted with a red face and followed behind Queresha trying to explain herself while the latter just wasn't listening at all.

That day was quite hectic with everyone participating in the bell test. Queresha didn't participate and just kept watch on the others so that the house doesn't get damaged.

And the result was…..

Kanae won again and no one was able to take the bells from her. Hae-in was close but wasn't able to take it away even with her superior speed.

Hae-in wasn't that bothered by the t-shirt, she didn't know what it meant but she was happy because Haru promised to take her on a date later. Kanae was a bit pouty the following day, but no one knew why, or did they? Who knows?

***

In the living room, Everyone was sitting around on the sofas comfortably after a hearty dinner.

"We are going to a new world?" Alea asked with a surprised look.

The whole thing was quite a shock for her since she had heard about Jin-ah's world before and everything was too different from her own world. She still wasn't used to one world and here they were going to a new one.

"Yes," Haru nodded lightly with Kurumi sleeping on his lap.

"Are you going alone like last time?" Kanae asked.

"No we will be going together at once," Haru answered after a bit of contemplation.

'…..'

'Something isn't right here,' Kanae and hae-in thought the same as their eyes met.

"When are we leaving My Lord?" Queresha asked while refilling Haru's teacup, nothing mattered to her she would follow his orders.

"Whenever we are ready," Haru said with a smile while looking at everyone.

"Then I'll start packing up my things as I have the most amount of things," Queresha nodded and sat down beside Haru.

"You aren't going ask anything?" Haru was a bit stunned at Queresha's answer, he surely thought she might ask him some questions about things. Queresha was like a ball of curiosity that liked to know everything about something she thought was interesting and studied everything she could get her hands on.

"There is no need to, I trust My Lord with my everything," Queresha spoke with a soft smile.

Haru smiled as well but he did blush a little at her words. He was protective like that.

"Ku-Hum* Haru do you know anything about this world?" Hae-in was curious about 'Why Haru was taking them with him on the first journey?' From what they know of Haru, he would go himself to check if the world was safe or not and set up a base for them to settle in before taking them there.

He would do it even if they ask to go with him, since he can always come back in three days and he didn't want to take risks that might affect them. But things looked a bit different now.

"It is a modern world that is safe at first but it will be dangerous later," Haru spoke with a serious look, That was how he could summarize it curtly. Haru didn't have much information about the world aside from a few things that could become roadblocks to his objective.

He was taking this very seriously since this was the first time he will be outmatched in strength.

Kurumi gave him a little explanation about the world and it only sounded like trouble, but he needed to go there to achieve his goal.

"Is it like our world?" Kanae asked with an unsure look and Hae-in looked like she had arrived at the same conclusion.

A normal modern world turned upside down by gates or dungeons it was a very common setting for novels that Hae-in read.

"Yes, but it is much more dangerous than that," Haru agreed with a nod while correcting them a little.

"It looks like we are still lacking a lot of information right now," Hae-in spoke and the others nodded but it was clear that Haru himself didn't know much about the world, but since he said that it would be even more dangerous than their world. That gave them some idea of what to expect.

They might be facing with stronger opponents than Antares who had wiped out humanity many times over. Haru had defeated Antares without a scratch while Queresha had held the monarch for a bit before, but now can defeat him with her own power, Hae-in and Kanae looked at each other even if they fought together they couldn't defeat Queresha.

But fighting with Queresha is quite difficult because she uses magic and her physical prowess is top-notch it was apparent that even if Queresha stayed indoors studying all day she kept her body in top condition, the first reason for her to maintain her body was to keep herself in good form so that if a battle were to occur she would be able to respond and the second reason was for Haru,

A fight with Queresha is like battling two people at once, because how she uses her magic and sword skills together without any problems.

Alea and Zenobia had heard about it before which was the reason the two had serious looks on their face. It wasn't anywhere near the power level they have seen here. Alea was around the same strength as Jin-ah while Zenobia was approaching Hae-in and Kanae in power much to their dismay.

"How about traveling between worlds?" Jin-ah asked a bit unsurely.

"Yeah we can't come back like usual after we go there, it would put us at risk of being discovered," Haru spoke with a grave tone. This was basically one of his safe cards being rendered useless.

The others also felt that, the possibility of being discovered surely won't end nicely for them.

Looking up Haru saw the serious look on everyone's faces and spoke what he had thought of before.

"Well we are lacking information, So I thought tha-" But he was cut off by Kanae.

"No,"

"At least let me fini-,"

"Denied," Hae-in crossed her hands.

"Bu-"

"No, we are letting you go alone," Kanae said with a frown.

"Don't cut me off faster every time," Haru's eyebrows twitched madly as he saw they had no intentions of listening to him.

"Idiot," Kanae muttered under her breath, Even though they knew that he was worried about them, but it didn't change that they didn't want him to go alone.

"I don't want you to go alone," Jin-ah said in a small voice that would escape human ears, but the others heard it clearly.

Queresha just looked on and didn't interject, she wanted to go with Haru but didn't want to disobey him. On one side were his words which she vowed to follow no matter what and on the other side was her desire to be beside him no matter what, So she was in a bit of a situation that had crashed her brain.

The others themselves didn't want that, because if they accept this and stay behind, they would lag behind in progress.

Kanae and Hae-in didn't want that because if they chose not to go they might even become a bigger burden on him.

"What about you Alea and Zenobia?" Seeing that he wasn't getting anywhere with Kanae, Hae-in, and Jin-ah, Haru looked at the other two.

Alea and Zenobia looked at one another before looking back at Haru.

"I guess I should let my brother know that I wouldn't be around for quite some time," Zenobia spoke with a smile.

"But wouldn't that be bad?" Haru tried to argue with her.

"No not really, I have been training that kid so that he can live decently even if I am not around, anyway I don't want to stay behind here, rather I want to go out on an adventure while honing my skill to higher levels," Zenobia shot down any hope for Haru counter her all while wearing a polite smile.

'She isn't one to listen once she makes up her mind, is she?' Haru sighed while looking at Zenobia.

Haru turned to Alea who was the last one remaining now.

"I am coming with you, of course I know the danger since you are being so serious about it, But I won't back down from this decision, I told you, didn't I? I am not giving up," Alea spoke before Haru could say anything letting him know that she won't take no for an answer.

"And more importantly, What type of Knight leaves his lord's side?" Alea flashed a grin.

"You, I like you,"
