Truth of Ehit

Heiligh Kingdom - Royal Palace

After finishing the business in Ankaji and Erisen, they then move to the next location which is the Royal Palace of Heiligh Kingdom is their current destination since Eleonora already receiving an okay from Kaori, Shizuku, and reluctant sigh from Hajime. Though Eleonora herself didn't care very much about an okay from Hajime, but she feels he must be included so that the white haired young man didn't feel left out since they group consists only women and a man.

Though from some otaku perspective, it would be seen that is Hajime who holds these women in his arms as harem, but the reality of it far from that since it's Eleonora who has the harem consists of all the women in their group except for Kaori. But deep down in Kaori's heart, she felt jealous seeing the girls that surrounds Eleonora clinging to her and glanced at Hajime who just has confused expression on his face right now; Kaori who saw that just sighed hopeless as she figured out the boy whom she crushed is very dense and not like Eleonora who noticed it right away.

'Hajime-kun didn't noticed it… but it's okay, I'm sure when we are back to Earth I'll work hard to make sure he's noticed something sensitive like that and working hard to make sure he accept my confession and feeling.'

Kaori thought determined and nods mentally as she don't lose a slight hope of Hajime. She must think positively about Hajime and remember the good thing from him so she won't get disturbed by the charm that Eleonora radiates since she almost fell on her and give her a sense of guilty and she felt like cheating on Hajime whom she fell in love with.

'I cannot deny the fact that Eleonora-san is very charming and more gentle than Hajime-kun. She's even more caring and kind, the perfect boyfriend material that any women want, she full of positiveness and I want to have a boyfriend like her too, but Hajime-kun is the one I love so I won't allows it to distract my feeling.'

She nods mentally again and making sure of her love interest not going wrong which make her goes from straight to lesbian if she did not do that to herself, to remind her what's thing should go like this and according to her.

Eleonora who noticed the slight change from Kaori's face just smile awkwardly. It's very obvious to her even if she didn't create or use a spell that let her reads someone's mind. She really like an open book to her and it's because she's really talented at reading someone's expression and anything, while people may didn't find it weird or suspicious about it; they might think there's nothing different and Hajime is one of those people who think it like that, but he has that kind of though and mindset because he's simply very dense like the wall of brick, like any harem anime protagonist.

As soon as they arrived inside the Royal Palace, they was welcomed with some of the classmate of Hajime and Kaori along with the king, queen, and their two children. Eleonora honestly surprised to see this since the last time they were here, only Hajime's classmate was present and know them but right now it's not.

Seeing this made Eleonora know that the classmate was told the king, queen, prince, and princess. From what Eleonora heard from Kaori's story about Heiligh Kingdom, they has priests and so on that devoted theirselves to a god named Ehit. The bluish young girl flinched a bit when heard that and suddenly remember the scene from Erisen that she was false accused as heretics.

Eleonora sighed in relief when things doesn't go bad in this place.

'Looks like the news of it wasn't reached this place. I'm glad, since if it reached, then there will be an uproar and may causes a big problem for me. But… that woman, it seem she put on a disguise on herself. A high-leveled one to the boot.'

She thought of that as she glanced to a certain nun who observing them. She also can clearly feel the threatening aura that leak from her, which is easily noticed by Eleonora and hard to noticed by someone than her right now; even Hajime didn't feel anything strange since he's not at that level.

Being noticed like that by Eleonora easily, the nun startled and kept herself calm as she thinking about that.

'My disguise… she can easily noticed it. So she is the one who called Abnormal by Ehit-sama and one of the people who must be killed since she also stand in the way of my lord's plan. But I have to do it in secret, maybe I should lure her out of the castle and killed her when no one around.'

She thought as her eyes looked at Eleonora sharply and trying to send a killing intent but realize that it will blow her identity and make anyone here know about it. Ehit's plan will surely be destroyed more than she thought and she don't want to disappoint her God and lord so she refrain from doing it.

Eleonora who noticed that look put on serious look and mark her as dangerous even though judging from her using [Obverse] and take a peak at her status, it's not threat to her.

What she thought about you: She seen you as threat

The young chairman widened slightly seeing the amount of mana that nun known as Noint's possess, it's similar to her and they have the same amount of mana since they wouldn't never run out of it if they decided to use it frequently and without stopping. From Eleonora's point of view, Noint can be considered a threat to her due to the amount of mana and health she have and closer to her; but if only think it like that, that will made her only rely on video game logic.

Eleonora slightly shook her head.

'Crap, that will be bad if I have that kind of mindset. I only created this spell just because I want to see it more easy since defining it in number is quite easy rather than just guessing. But she's quite strong, I must prepare just in case."

Eleonora thought that as she secretly cast powerful protection barrier to everyone except Noint and a large-scale barrier that can cover a whole kingdom. Other people may find it hard to do what she did, but for her it's quite easy since she's talented; very talented and can easily master something in short of time.

At least for now they was safe and she can see the irritated face from Noint and that made her smiled slightly. Eleonora and Hajime's group was welcomed with such warm atmosphere, not very warm when they was directed towards Hajime, the fact Shea's wears slave collar and rabbitmen, and Remia with Miyu who is basically dagon wasn't well received.

But the atmosphere back again when Eleonora tried to explain all of it along with Kaori. They then began to calm down and trusted what they said, even though Eleonora is basically just meet with the royals. But for Eleonora, meeting with royal is just a simple matter and she could do it flawlessly since she's former royal by bloodline if not for the fact that her family history is the member of Pendragon's family.

But that's all just in the past and Eleonora didn't care about that, she just consider herself as an ordinary girl from normal family, but there's no denying that she also reminding herself to be the part of royal family and it may give her some benefits in the future; like help her to get out of serious situation that might affect in large scale.

As they are welcomed, they then invited to go in dinner and the group of course accept that even if Eleonora has to handle with the annoying behavior that came from Hajime since he's always hostile towards someone like Kouki and Hayama; who he considers enemies and people he want to kill if he has the chance.

Alas it's just in the past since Hajime right now is kind of like someone who let them live and didn't do anything, since he became a 'If I do that, I'll be no better than them.' kind of that guy, even though he swore to take his revenge and kill all his classmates; including Kaori whom he love and has crush on. But it changed and made him looks soft, Hajime himself didn't realizes it since he's quite dense even to himself.

Kouki who kept persuading Kaori and Shizuku to come back with their group declined and want to stay with their current group, but Shizuku also said that it will not changed even if they going back to their homeworld. So he decided to give up for now and try again later when they coming back to Earth, at least their Earth.

"Eleonora-dono, if what you said is true, then how about this world and my kingdom? It's not like I'm trying to force them but if they… left, the demon may continue to threaten everyone in the whole world."

Said Eliheid S. B. Heiligh, the king of Heiligh Kingdom, a handsome older man with long dark-blond hair and blue eyes with concern on his tone and thankfully Eleonora already secretly remove the brainwash from him that planted by Noint since he seemed a religious person who devoting to a god called Ehit.

His wife, Luluaria S. B. Heiligh, a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes also share the same look but she's not the same with her husband who devoted follower of Ehit; she cared about the kingdom and its people, so much since it's a place her family grow up and she also worry about her children if there's no one who defeats the demon that threaten their kingdom.

The queen of Heiligh kingdom nods her head in agreement with what her husband said.

But Eleonora just send them a smile that has no hint of worryness of it and trying to calm their worry off. She already had a plan to make sure the safety or defeat the demons in this world while the Heroes' Party going back to their homeworld.

"Rest assured, since I can go forth between this world and another, I'll be the one who defeat the demon and don't worry about how many demon that I have to face, since it will be solved easily and… I'll explain the detail of it later when it's only us."

Eleonora said that while she glancing at Noint who still kept her disguise as nun. She said that so there's no one beside her and the royal family that know about her detailed plan, even though she can cover it with soundproof barrier or make them invisible to their eyes or won't let them get detected easily.

She just don't want to raise Noint's suspiciousness about it.

Although he know that Eleonora just want to calm him, he decided to put on a trust on the words that came from Eleonora since he knew that someone like her isn't the type that easily lying and betraying someone that she deemed important.

"Alright if that's what you said, Eleonora-dono. We can discuss about that in private room, where we can't be disturbed since this plan of yours may be the key to save my whole kingdom from demon."

Eleonora smiled happily and it caused all the women in this dinning room blushed witnessing that, even someone like Luluaria, who basically the wife of Eliheid S. B. Heiligh, the King of Heiligh Kingdom on this world called Tortus as his kingdom can be called Human Kingdom too.

"Thank you for putting an utmost trust on me that much. Rest assured and don't worry too much about it, I'll defeat those demon in no time. I promise you of it."

------

It's has been about 3 days and half since Minowa Gin, the former Hero of Shinjuu that kept dangerous and threatening being called Vertex from destroying the mortal life. The Vertexes are a malevolent lifeform, created by the gods of heaven during the Anno Domini era, in her homeworld, for the purpose of exterminating mortal life.

Vertexes were created as cleansers with the purpose of passing down divine judgment upon humanity. They first appeared on the Earth of Minowa Gin during 2015 AD. They succeeded in destroying much of the world, apart from the Shikoku island of Japan which was protected from certain destruction by the Shinju-sama, a conglomeration of gods that sided with humanity during the humanity-Vertex war. In order to further continue protecting the remnants of humanity from certain extinction, Shinju-sama borrowed chunks of their divine powers to young girls, which eventually became known as Heroes.

And Minowa Gin is one of the chosen girl to be the hero, she has the duty to defeat them and protect the humanity from them. Before she became hero, she's an ordinary girl with a kind, energetic girl, with a lot of spirits and positive attitude radiates from her, she is your tipical high-spirited and tomboy girl outside yet very girly inside that anyone don't know about that secret fact.

At first, Gin cannot believe the existence of another world or another reality, but after being explained and convinced in many way; she has no choice but to accept and believe it. She is already dead in her former world and that's mean she shouldn't going back to meet with people she cared about in her home, but that's not stopping her to miss them and her home.

She would be lying to herself if she didn't miss them, especially her family. She also worried about the battle after she died, there's a lot of things currently flooding in her mind.

'How was the situation after that? Did Sumi and Sonoko okay when I left them? Did we beat the Vertex and protect humanity? My family would miss me a lot and… my little brothers and parents…'

She looked down with sad expression on her face. Lieselotte Sherlock, the seductive and playful young lady with long flowing blonde hair tied up in twin tails who currently accompany her in a café right now just sighing and know the kind of expression that Gin make right now.

'She must be thinking about her homeworld… but it's not like I'm not. Who knows I can get out from the time I froze myself and transported to another reality or world, an alternate Earth that has similarity with mine; although not 100% similar since this world seemed just discover about magic and whatsoever.'

Gin and Lieselotte currently being taken care by Pendragon's family or the family of Eleonora Pendragon who kind enough to take them under their care for the time being, until they come to their decision about what the next thing they would do. But not only these two, Emilia and La Folia also under Pendragon's family care until the time being.

They still have to adapted to the new reality or world they just seen, especially Emilia since her homeworld is very different as she came from fantasy medieval world like in any isekai novel out there that currently popular in Japan and the rest of the world.

But what surprised Lieselotte about Gin is the fact that she is similar to child soldier since she stated that she is just elementary student and also the young lady with long flowing blonde hair tied up in twin tails knew a bit about Gin's past; Gin is a sister that has brothers that she needs to be taken care of, just like Liese who has Selina, her little sister who being left alone again because of her fault, but Liese trying to be positive and would find a way back home to reunite with her little sister and her friends, especially Kasuga Arata; the boy whom she loves.

'Then again, it would requires a lot works and may takes years since that's practically impossible to transport someone to another world. Maybe I have to investigate the source of what happened to me since that is somehow connected.'

Lieselotte thought of while eating her strawberry cheesecake that she already ordered before. It's sweet and slightly tangy as the taste very much like cream cheese, it's rich and creamy. She liked it and always has been her favorite since then. Accompanied by the drink she order, which is lemon juice and she can never been happier at the moment since this is such a bliss.

"Erm, Sherlock-san…"

As Lieselotte heard her family name being called, she stopped eating for a bit and glanced at Gin who call her and giving her a response.

"Minowa-san, you don't have to be so formal and just call me Liese."

Liese said that as she didn't see it herself that she also being polite and formal to someone younger than her. Gin who heard that just scratching her cheeks and smile awkwardly as she don't know what she want to say next and that's made Lieselotte sighing in annoyance since it's really bother her a bit. It's not like she hate Minowa Gin, but she has trouble to dealing with someone that is younger than her since she was never good at it.

"…But you also call me Minowa-san, Sherlock-san and by the fact that I am younger than you."

"Well… you're not wrong but just stop it when I said it, okay? I'm not that fond of formal and stuffs. I'll call you Gin and you call me Liese, also we are living together right now so it's kind of weird if we like that all the time."

"O-Oh… okay then, Liese-san."

Lieselotte sighing in defeat and just slightly nod at that.

"Good, that's a step… I guess. But you know, although we only just knew each other for three days, I don't think we can be called stranger anymore and to the boot, we are currently living together. We already share each other pasts, albeit not much."

Lieselotte give Gin her smile to make the elementary school student loosen up since this is not like Minowa Gin at all and the grey-haired tomboy girl know about that, it's just that she don't know what she will do in this world since it's very different than the Earth she knew; that's why she trying to be polite and not act like herself.

"Thanks about it, Liese-san. But it's surprising that this world is very different than mine, although it's also Earth and we currently on Japan. It's really peaceful, if not for the fact that magic and whatsoever is recently discovered in this world."

"That's right. The magic they used in this world seem different than mine and there's also monster, dungeon, and anything that likes coming out straight from video game. But the danger level that this world currently had isn't that serious, so those people called 'Awakened' can easily deal with them. But to know that magic was known to public…"

Lieselotte let out a long and frustrated sigh from her mouth.

"They supposed to be hidden and shouldn't be known by public. But people in here discover that easily."

"I think it's has different set of rules and laws to each worlds or realities, Liese-san. Like how in my world, there's only Heroes, Vertex, and Shinju-sama while in your world there's a group of wizard and mage also a school about magic."

"…Maybe. Oh right, you know I've been curious about the daughter of Theodore-san kept talking about."

Liese said that with curious face as Gin started to enjoy her blueberry cake by taking a bite of it and trying to listen to what Lieselotte said since she also curious about that because Theodore always mentioned his daughter to them sometimes.

"He always told us that his daughter may have the solution for our current problem and how he kept talking about how talented she is and it's kind of annoy me, you know. It's not like I'm jealous but cannot believe such perfect person exist."

Gin just smile awkwardly as she understood what the twin tailed girl said, but she cannot said it out of loud and don't want to cut off what Lieselotte said and trying to listen to the end. She became slightly different person than she used to be.

"Is that even possible for such person exist, Gin?"

And that ended what she said as Gin give her a response to it.

"I don't think that Theodore-san is the type of person that easily lying, Liese-san. I mean, it's definitely impossible to find someone like that if we didn't meet or sees one but I think it's great if what he said come true and his daughter can solve all of our problem."

Liese sighing with smile.

"That's true. It would be great if she can solve our problem but we also shouldn't depended on her since we already in debt and owe Theodore-san for housing us for the moment. Since I am a mage and the mage in my world tends to do a magic research, then you can count on me too."

Gin smile widely and showing her teeth as she nodded at Liese.

"Thanks, Liese-san!"

"No problem. But that aside, how about we enjoy ourselves for now and think about the hard part later? If I guess it correctly and assuming from what Theodore-san, I think his daughter would come back soon around three days or so. He didn't say anything about the whereabouts of her daughter."

"Oh! Then can we take a look at the clothes shop first? I always want to buy some new and cute clothes!"

"Didn't know that despite your appearance, you has girly side, Gin."

Liese said that while suppress her laugh and made Gin pouted because of that. It's understadanble since Gin always act like a boy and made her became tomboy outside, she didn't shows her girly side that much since she think it's kind of embarrassing to be found out.

But she's okay if it someone she consider friends, which is her best friends in her homeworld. She also has Lieselotte, Emilia, and La Folia as her new friends since coming to this world; although she got wrong impression for Lieselotte for some parts as she guessing that the blonde twin tailed girl is someone that hard to befriend but turned out that's false.

"Is is wrong for me to interested on cute clothes and such?"

Liese chuckled and wave her hand to Gin who still pouted.

"No, not at all. It's normal for every girls, although there's might be an exception for some girls. But if you want to buy some cute clothes and maybe things, I'd be happy to accompany you. Even if I look like this, I have a sense of cuteness, so don't worry about it."

Gin's face beamed with happiness when she heard what Liese said and nods happily with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, I want it! Please!"

"Okay, then we should finish our cakes and drinks first, then we headed towards the mall. Luckily Theodore-san give us some money to spends and I can say, he's give us a generous amount of money and already arranged to make me credit card."

"Yeah, I also cannot believe it. To think Theodore-san's family is really has big influence, he even has the Prime Minister, who is the same age with you, to let them arranging all the stuffs that we may need if somehow we stays at this world longer than we've expected. But… Pendragon family, where did I hear that name… I felt like I heard it somewhere."
