Chapter 147: Travelling

I enjoyed walking with Queen Mera, and she asked me to take her to Metropolis in disguise so I could show her LuthorCorp.

Cortana showed us everything we were working on on a hologram screen, and she was interested in some of the things on the list.

Mera was quite curious and clearly had a soft spot for me that I couldn't help but notice.

Perhaps I had impressed her too much with my abilities, and I became the ideal king who genuinely strives for the well-being of her people in her mind.

She was only further convinced after seeing what the company was involved in.

After that, I teleported back to Atlantis with her and personally promised to visit her and Atlanna.

Naturally, I also arranged a meeting time for them with the Tuatha De Danann.

I conveyed the same to Nuada, who agreed to the chosen date for the meeting.

"So much work."

I sighed while finding myself in Lena's office.

"You deal with one thing, and three more appear."

"Are you telling me?"

Lena raised an eyebrow while sitting at the desk to show she was neither idle.

"Well, tell me, what's new…"

After telling Lena about my day, we moved on to other topics, especially our trip somewhere far from the company, problems, and everything else.

Lena's eyes practically lit up at such moments, and we now had time before the date when I would facilitate the peace agreement in the underwater world.

...

[3rd POV]

"If anyone wishes to withdraw from the competition, he or she must send a shower of red sparks into the air."

Headmaster Dumbledore announced this while standing before a crowd of spectators and cameras in his usual attire.

He leaned slightly forward to see people, not through his glasses.

"And do not worry about safety. I have personally ensured that nothing and no one in this maze will harm the tournament participants."

Hermione barely contained the smile that threatened on her face after his words.

They already knew where the other Horcruxes were, and all that was left to do was take "Voldemort's" Horcruxes to seal all of his other soul fragments and kill him for good.

Barty Crouch Jr. could no longer help his lord by enchanting the cup so that Potter would be moved to where the Dark Lord wanted him to go.

However, Professor Snape did it after being asked to do so by Voldemort.

Of course, everything was planned ahead of time.

Professor Snape couldn't say anything because of the restriction, but he could just nod at what the Headmaster said without breaking any rules.

He wasn't revealing anything, and Dumbledore and Hermione knew this could happen.

Standing beside Hermione was a remarkable girl whose beauty attracted the students' attention. Her proud posture, small nose, and violet eyes stood out to anyone who glanced at her.

Erina Nakiri decided to attend the event with her friend, and Hermione was pleased to receive such support.

"Do you think everything will go as planned?"

Erina whispered to Hermione.

"We've done everything possible to ensure that "HE" doesn't find out the ways. The Headmaster only summoned the most trusted people, and I used some spells to verify their loyalty. So yes, I'm confident everything should go as planned.

"If anything happens, I'll help."

Erina said it with a smile.

She was also making efforts in magic and was quite adept at using a wand with Hermione's tutoring through a live stream.

The final task of the Triwizard Tournament began, and one of the contenders ran into the maze first, followed by the second, and then Harry himself.

Hermione immediately slipped out of sight with Erina and used a spell to monitor everything happening in real-time.

They were more than confident in their abilities especially after binding Sacred Gears to their souls.

Hermione had already verified that she had magically become more than ten times stronger.

She could summon a mini-staff resembling a wand at any moment with her Sacred Gear.

Erina could summon violet flames in the most basic state of her Sacred Gear, and they still had Balance Breaker forms.

The maze was a tense environment, filled with enchantments and creatures designed to challenge the champions.

Hermione watched closely to be ready to intervene if necessary and her focus sharp.

Erina stood by her side with her hand resting lightly on her wand and prepared to use her fire if needed.

They could see Harry making his way through the path with determination while keeping an eye on the other contestants.

They knew when the cup was supposed to be triggered to transport him.

The tension was noticeable, but they were prepared for any outcome.

The moment Harry touched the cup, he was taken away by the familiar pull of a Portkey.

Hermione and Erina braced themselves for the next phase of their plan, ready to act at a moment's notice.

They had done everything to ensure that when Harry faced Voldemort, they would be ready to support him and finish the battle once and for all.

...

"Hmmmm…"

Lena moaned, trying Sanzaemon's food.

We were in her world at the moment, but since she was busy assisting Hermione, I didn't want to distract her, so I simply asked her grandfather to prepare something for us.

Of course, he didn't refuse.

"Yes, cooking in this world is something else… some kind of magic."

I nodded, understanding Lena's groans.

"Well… I… can manage for now. But Erina's cooking is better."

Lena nodded.

"But still… oh, they have seafood dishes here."

She noticed in the menu.

Sanzaemon handed us his menu, which was very well-designed and indicated the chef's status.

It was set up just for us, and our table was at the very top of the Academy where I even saw Alice.

I felt the Ophis' attention as soon as we got here... which had become something of a mascot for Erina and Alice so this "little" girl could often be seen with them.

However, I immediately warned her that I wouldn't stay long and wanted to spend time with my sister so she wouldn't bother us.

"Wonderful start."

Lena happily nodded after tasting the best food from one of the best chefs in this world.

"If I didn't know this was another world, I would have thought there were drugs in the food."

"They also have martial arts here."

I recalled.

"Hmm?"

Lena tilted her head inquisitively.

"They have "Qi," life energy that can be trained, and there are martial arts masters here who can fold a tank like a straw because of that."

"That… isn't impressive compared to our world."

She shrugged and took my hands, and the sun from the window adorned her face.

"But it's still a wonderful time."

She hugged me, pressing her chest against mine without any lust.

It demonstrated tenderness, care, and love; I could feel it involuntarily in her emotions.

"I'm sorry I can't spend more time with you."

I brought up the topic again.

"Don't worry, I understand everything... aliens, gods, underwater creatures... there are enough problems, and I'm glad you're trying to make things better."

She looked into my eyes and pecked my lips.

"What's next? Where are we going? This world may have wonderful food, but otherwise, it's very similar to ours."

"Mmm… there's a world where Earth survived a virus that killed everyone, and vampires took the lead positions."

"Shinoa's world?"

Lena immediately understood.

After my nod, she thoughtfully pressed her finger to her lips.

"Maybe later. That world sounds like a very dark place, and I'm not in the mood for it right now."

"Then how about a world where it's the nineties and there are wizards using magic wands and wearing strange clothes and pointy hats?"

I mentally conveyed a little additional information, like about Hogwarts.

"That… sounds fun."

She licked her red lips.

"Then let's go."

I hugged her tightly and bought two tickets to Hermione's world.

A moment of disorientation, and we were in a Harry Potter world.

"Wow…"

She hugged me tighter as we found ourselves above London, as the last time I was here, I was leaving from this very place.

"London?"

She recognized the city immediately.

"I haven't been here in our world, but I'll take a walk here in the past!"

She said it joyfully, truly enjoying every moment like this.

Lena began to look at everything with great interest as soon as she landed with an invisible.

After all, this was a world over two decades ago compared to ours.

Moreover, there was a magical side to the world, with many magical creatures.

Lena and I walked through the city and visited Diagon Alley.

She looked wide-eyed at all the wizards who sneered at us as if we were lower-class Muggles…

However, when we entered Knockturn Alley, some foolish people wanted to attack us while looking at Lena with lustful eyes… let's just say she handled them herself.

They could see Harry making his way through the path with determination while keeping an eye on the other contestants.

I saw Hermione and Erina watching on the livestream as Harry slowly but surely got closer to the cup.

I told Lena that we should "watch this from the best seats."

Soon enough, we could watch the Triwizard Tournament while eating popcorn under the guise of invisibility.

We also witnessed Dumbledore, Hermione, and Erina dealing with Voldemort's lackey when Harry grabbed the cup and was transported to the graveyard.

Voldemort literally found himself helpless against such a turn of events.

They eventually apprehended him and a couple of Death Eaters, who looked at Hermione with both fear and respect as she used a powerful spell to counter Avada Kedavra.

"You're smiling at these two girls."

Lena nudged me in the side while clearly sensing it with her female intuition.

"I'm acquainted with Hermione and Erina..."

"Erina?! She's an amazing chef?!"

She almost jumped off the couch that was floating in the sky.

"Yes, that's her… Do you want to chat with her?"

"Yes, but not right now. This is our time."

She settled back down.

"Shall we dance?"

She noticed how another celebration was being prepared at Hogwarts.

I was more than happy to oblige, and I found a place where suitable parties were happening in the world…

As it turned out, there were many significant guests, even the queen in Birmingham… as well as wizards who seemed to be protecting her.

I ignored them and simply ensured they didn't pay attention to us, creating suitable attire for Lena and me.

It was a slow dance, and I couldn't tear my gaze away from her eyes.

I almost tried to "devour" her which made her blush, but her emotions were a storm of tender feelings.

After such a pleasant evening, I decided to "devour" Lena in a different way… and neither of us was against it.

The night of love didn't end for hours as Lena and I changed into different costumes to cosplay.

I have been a villain who kidnapped a princess and a good guy that the princess wanted to thank.

In every costume, my sister looked exquisite, especially in the provocative attire of a haughty mistress.

Hermione's world wasn't limited to just Great Britain, and there were magical creatures, yokai, and much more that caught our attention.

I wasn't interested in much of it, as I had somehow outgrown it all and was only interested in things that could increase my power.

We were just taking it easy and going from place to place.

Seeing the Japanese School of Magic and their connection to yokai was especially interesting.

"I never thought I'd see real unicorns."

Lena stroked the mane of a large and beautiful unicorn we met in Northern Europe.

"They definitely like you."

I noticed… and that the unicorns were just terribly afraid of me and didn't dare to run away.

I sent them a mental message to allow Lena to pet them.

Indeed, they seemed to like her… they probably sensed the Darkness in me even through all the light.

"No wonder."

Lena looked at me with satisfaction.

"Who's the cute unicorn here… who's so snowy…"

She stroked the unicorn's mane.

"Being near them makes me feel relaxed."

"Do you want one for yourself?"

After my words, the unicorn froze as did his companions nearby… one even collapsed, unconscious… quite weak, it seemed.

Luckily, this happened behind the herd, and Lena didn't pay attention. However, she could easily notice and point it out with her abilities.

"No, I don't want to disturb their idyll."

She shook her head.

"You also promised to show me some magical lake…"

She shot me a glance.

"With great pleasure."

I smiled at her.

I feel like I'll have to talk about chat.
