The Joys
Putting my phone away, I went to sleep because there was nothing else to do and if I didn't do anything, I would be bored out of my mind.
Not knowing that the death of that monster had caused ripple effects and that now a horde of monsters following Zemin was heading here.
I went to sleep without any problems.
---- Imperial Palace
Ai Kamikiyo "so what's happening that's so urgent that you should call me at this time" she said while a guard was standing in front of her
Guard "Empress sorry for the inconvenience caused, but we have sighted on our borders a horde of no less than 100,000 monsters commanded by Zemin" he said with respect and urgency
Ai Kamikiyo "I understand, then inform all the guards who are at the border to let them pass and then prevent them from letting them out until I arrive" he said as he stood up from his throne
Guard "ok Empress, it will be done immediately" so he left
Watching the Guard leave Ai didn't pay much attention to the matter because Zemin was no match for her and gross of 100,000 monsters weren't that hard to kill.
Thinking about why one of the monster empress's generals should come here, Ai didn't know what he wanted to do.
But he knew that there was no need to worry the soldiers about such a trivial matter, he also had the opportunity to give Reo these monsters so that he can move up the Realm as quickly as possible.
So, having finished thinking about what to do, he went to Reo's room and saw him sleeping.
He didn't want to disturb his sleep and so I waited for him to wake up before telling me what had happened.
After exactly one hour she learned that the guards had let the monsters in as she wanted and that Zemin the leader of the group went straight to the capital thinking that the empire had surrendered.
Smiling because he had never seen such a stupid general before, he went to Reo's room to wake him up because soon the monsters will arrive that will end up being food for Reo.
Ai Kamikiyo " Reo-kun " said as she shook Reo to try and wake him up
----
Suddenly while I was sleeping peacefully, I heard a voice telling me to wake up, finally I opened my eyes and saw that it was Ai-Nee-San trying to wake me up.
Kamisora Reo ".....what's going on Ai-Nee-San? How come you woke me up at five in the afternoon? It's time for me to go to bed" I said jokingly as I started to yawn
I put my hand over my mouth and then looked at her with curiosity, I must say that this room is really useful for my dream.
Ai Kamikiyo "sorry Reo-kun for waking you up while you were having your afternoon nap, but we have some news that maybe will make you immediately awake and lively" he said as I got out of bed and heard it for all ears
Kamisora Reo "tell me, tell me what is this about Ai-Nee-San?" I said
Ai Kamikiyo "apparently a horde of monsters and came to the capital of their own free will, this was also what you needed to become even stronger, right Reo-kun" she asked as I looked at her with joy
Kamisora Reo "thank you for this news Ai-Nee-San!! You make me really happy!" I said hugging her as I couldn't wait to find them and kill them to gain XP
I don't know when I started thinking like a cold-blooded Assassin, but by now there was nothing I could do to stop this quest for Exp.
So on my way out with Ai-Nee-San I found the four mermaids who were already in their armor.
Aquata was really cute with those armors that seemed tailor-made for her, like in the statues of the fountains.
They all had silver armor and none of them were inferior to the other by their aura that was released.
Ai Kamikiyo "now we will go to welcome our guests and our ambassador will be our Reo-kun who will have to talk to them and if no one wants to give up, then at that point" he said without finishing his words which everyone understood perfectly
Delta "yes Imperial sister!" he said with enthusiasm because this was the first time in many years that he went with the empress to hunt monsters
Water "yes Imperial Empress" he said while drinking a liqueur but there was no sign of indecision in his voice because he had known for some time that the empress let her unprofessional behavior slide
Aquata "y-yes big sister!" she said without modernizing her tongue and was proud of having succeeded
Aquarians "yes Empress!" she said seriously while inside she was proud of Aquata's success in the non-modern language
Ai Kamikiyo "then we can all go and welcome our guests" he said while on his left were Delta and Acqua, while on his right were Aquata and Aquari.
I was next to them but this was negligible not as much as the aura that all five release at the same time.
She was so Heroic and exuded from everywhere the sensations of beauty and wisdom with power.
It was a feeling you could only experience once in your life, but even so I wasn't too affected as many citizens saw us pass by with the Golden Guard.
"How heroic are the empress and the founding mermaids!! " shouted a citizen as he prostrated himself with respect
"waaa how beautiful they are!! " said a child no younger than me
"Look also at the child who is next to the empress, he is as cute as one of the mermaid founders" said a citizen noticing that I was next to them
So I smiled at him, but something happens that shocks everyone, suddenly when the citizen saw my smile.
His heart couldn't hold up and exploded with a bang, he fell to the ground shocking me and all the citizens too.
Kamisora Reo "w-what happened Ai-Nee-San?! " I said still in shock
Ai Kamikiyo "what did I tell you before Reo-kun?" asked as they all looked at me with fear and shyness
Kamisora Reo "b-but I never thought it would all be true, I thought you were just joking Ai-Nee-San!" I said while feeling sorry for the poor citizen
Ai Kamiyo "I almost never joke, especially when it comes to people close to me" he said seriously as he consoled himself because he knew that I was very upset
Kamisora Reo "I'll try to reverse time" I said
But I didn't see that one eye was watching me from afar and that it had been watching me from the beginning.
He was surprised when he saw my smile almost cracking, but he still kept the eye without suffering too much irreparable damage.
I tried to reverse the flow of time here, but it was more difficult for me than in my world, especially because there was a block that tried to prevent me from turning back time and thus saving the person.
After a few seconds the block of I don't know what I no longer block, it seemed to have disappeared into thin air, but thanks to this I was able to reverse time and thus save the person who had died through my fault.
Seeing the time reversal scene, everyone including Ai-Nee-San and the eye were amazed and above all they would never forget what happened today.
Kamisora Reo "Wow!! Luckily I was able to save him" I said relaxing all my muscles and letting go of my feelings of guilt towards the person I had killed, but now that he was alive I was better
Ai Kamikiyo "you?, let's leave this matter aside, but let's go to the entrance of the capital to welcome our guests" he said as everyone left the area in shock
The eye that was watching followed secretly, but no one noticed that the eye was there, even the empress or me.
Arriving at the main gates, I saw in the distance a large group of monsters of all kinds.
From the smallest to the largest, each of them was at least at the Early IQ Realm, but they couldn't do anything to me anymore, especially now that I have reached this half-RE Realm.
I don't believe that even if all their forces unite to try to kill me, I am sure that I could counterattack and thus kill them like nothing.
I saw that there were at least 100 lord's and 10 half-lord's realms, all the others were just the Martial Death stage, nothing that could hurt me in any way.
Kamisora Reo "Ai-Nee-San can I go kill them right away?" I asked as I grabbed my Sword and couldn't wait to start fighting
Ai Kamikiyo "Reo-kun do you know what the most rewarding joy is when you want to fight your enemy?" he asked suddenly
Hearing these words, all four mermaids were surprised but didn't say anything because they also wanted to hear Ai-Nee-San's ideas
Kamisora Reo "I don't know, but I know that my joy is in rising to the next Realms, or the Ranks" I said perplexed because I also didn't really know what I really wanted what was my greatest joy
Ai Kamikiyo "is about subduing your enemy both physically and mentally, this is a way to be both happy and sure that there are no future problems, but if you want true joy then you have to succeed in everything you want to do to understand what l 'activity that gives you the most joy,'" he said
Kamisora Reo "so you like to mentally and physically subdue your enemy Ai-Nee-San?" I asked
Ai Kamikiyo "I can't deny it because everyone can see that I'm like that, but I only do it when I feel like it, but most of the time, I kill my enemies directly because it's always a nuisance to keep a possible problem alive" he said, putting me in guard
Kamisora Reo "I understand Ai-Nee-San, thank you for your advice" I said preparing to welcome our guests
