Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 399

Episode 399

It was fine because there were no waves, but the story changes when the boat starts to move.

“Oops….”

It was natural to see Aria covering her mouth with one hand and suffering.

“I’m so sorry… Oops!”

Covering my mouth and forcibly enduring nausea seemed like a serious seasickness.

As a beast, she is familiar with nature and has good affinity with spirits, but that does not mean that her physical abilities are random.

With a face dripping with tears, she desperately hid as if she didn’t want to show me her ugliness.

In response, I grabbed her by the shoulder and placed my index and middle fingers under her ear.

“What?!”

Startled, she flinched, and as if frozen, she just rolled her eyes.

I was so surprised that I could feel not only my face but also my earlobes turned bright red.

She would not have been very accustomed to this type of physical contact.

“ruler. That’s Okay.”

Eventually, as I slowly removed my hand and looked at her as I spoke, Aria, who had a dazed face, hurriedly opened her eyes to say something.

“Ah…”

“I paralyzed some of my sensory organs for a while. You will probably get less seasick.”

“Thank you.”

She withdrew with a shy face, and suddenly showed a questioning expression.

Then, he shook his head vigorously and patted my cheek lightly with both hands.

“Whoa…”

“If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you have to tell me. If you hide it, you may not be able to get treatment in time.”

The plain question surprised her once more and withdrew from me.

“Oh no. Oh my… why am I really like this?”

Seeing her attitude like that, I was able to notice.

Gradually, a gap due to memory oblivion began to emerge.

She may show this attitude now, but as time passes, all her love for me will probably be erased.

‘Rather, that might have worked out better.’

Watching her memory deletion proceed more precisely than I thought, I passed it on as if there would be no big problem.

But why is the word penalty a penalty.

She needed to think deeply about what it meant to lose the most precious thing to her.

If you had seen her expression at least once, you wouldn’t have thought so simply.

“Where is this…?”

Aria asked a question with a worried face.

The sky was dyed red and the world looked like hell.

It doesn’t seem to be popular at all, but I knew where this place was.

“It looks like the coastal city of Balkas.”

At my words, she shook her head.

“ah. I know Valkas well… Yes?”

The woman following me stopped and stared at me.

Ignoring her, I slowly scanned the huge curtain that started from a part of this city.

“Is it Barkas? That… in the southern part of the continent…”

“Yes. That Barkas is right.”

At my answer, she couldn’t hide her bewilderment.

This is a city, but it was ruined as if dozens of huge meteorites had hit it.

“That can’t be… the city that used to be full of peace…”

“Have you ever been there?”

“Yes… I’ve heard that you might be able to find a medicine to cure that…”

she murmured gloomily.

“Ha, but the prince said that! It’s a different world. Ah… Well, it’s hard for me to understand that it’s a different world…”

“This is the Tionis continent. However, the time period is slightly different. It is a place where about 10 years have passed since we lived, with other possibilities.”

At my words, she didn’t say anything for a while.

Actually, I had no intention of doing anything in this world.

The beings here are different from the beings where I lived.

All the people around me were killed, and the existence of me, who should have been here, died without seeing the light of day.

The only lingering feeling was Perserk, who was supposed to become the demon king, but even that was an impossible situation.

After pushing the boat into the shore, landing on land and passing half of Balkas, an unknown veil came out and completely blocked Aeria’s approach.

I think I could get past that curtain if there was some way, but like a referee preventing a false start at the starting line, the curtain didn’t let me in.

But I couldn’t just give up.

when it touches the veil.

I immediately noticed a change in my body.

effect of the gem.

Complete synchronization of soul and body.

I had been told that when I touched the Veil, it felt very similar to when a gem was activated.

But it was just a feeling and it wasn’t really synchronized.

Since the tent wasn’t something that could be broken with enough force, I had no choice but to return to the ship with her.

I wanted to see you once. What kind of situation was the world Reina was desperately resisting to protect?

After the death of the last member of the resistance, in fact, there is no hope for the surviving humans here.

It didn’t matter even if I didn’t explain anything to Aeria.

She didn’t even ask me about such a curiosity, fearing that I would be a nuisance.

But to be honest.

There was nothing to do.

There was more than three days left, and after examining it, everything was a ruined city with nothing.

If I didn’t talk, I felt like I would be silent for days and days if I left Aria, who never drew attention first.

“It’s called the equilibrium theory. Simply put, it’s the same world, but the world itself is divided according to the results that come out when one person does action 1 and action 2.”

At my words, Aria showed a complicated expression.

“Is that… possible?”

“It is impossible. If you choose one of the two, the other disappears. This is in fact a fantasy world.”

But why did this world come into being? You probably won’t find a case like this anywhere in the world.

“Then this place…”

“You can see it as a bit of an irregular place. Don’t worry too much about it. It’s because the rules of the world itself are twisted, so it’s probably a world that will disappear before long.”

I just need to protect the world I belong to.

There was no reason to protect the rest of the world.

“Prince Davey…is really sweet.”

Aeria, who had been silently looking at the bonfire, opened her mouth cautiously.

“You must have told me this out of consideration for me, right?”

“It’s just that my mouth is boring. There really is nothing here.”

Just like when a person who has lived a busy life suddenly becomes uneasy without doing anything.

Now, if I don’t do anything, I can’t stand it because time is wasted.

The body needs recovery, so it quickly circulates mana and maintains the body, but that alone was not enough.

“Hehe, I think you were considerate.”

Having said that, she let out a short sigh.

“Isn’t it strange? The knights were so seriously injured while protecting me… Why am I relieved just because I am by the prince’s side…” “

People instinctively think of themselves first and then others. Altruistic beings are rare, but the princess is not wrong.”

It wasn’t true, but it wasn’t wrong.

All life instinctively depends on self-defense.

“Um…”

she flinched.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“Oh no! What am I…”

“It’s fine if you say it comfortably.”

When I spoke softly, she averted her gaze with a blushing face before carefully opening her mouth.

“Isn’t Prince Davey bothered by me?”

“What is there to be bothered about? I have a conversation partner in a quiet yard, and it’s not bad.”

“It’s not like that…”

she gibberled, flushed.

Even so, the corners of his mouth slowly went up, which seemed strangely good.

“Get some more rest. There’s nothing you can do here anyway.”

At my words, she quietly nodded. He crouched down and buried his face.

A calm silence came and I fell asleep without resisting the accumulated fatigue.

It’s as if all the fatigue accumulated over the years is at this point! It felt like being attacked.

In response to the madly pouring flood, I reflexively activated the alarm magic to stop the intrusion around me and slowly leaned my back against the wall to fall asleep.

Tuk… Tuk…

It was someone’s painful moaning that woke me up from a dreamless sleep. Painful cries echoed in my ears, which had been asleep as if no one would wake me up from fatigue.

All that was on this ship was the remnants of the cockroaches, Aria and I.

The culprit was obvious as there was no way the cockroach would groan and howl.

“Aria… the princess?”

She was sitting far away from me, holding onto the deck wall of the ship, bowing her head.

“Ah…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” I slowly got up from my seat and slowly approached her.

“Ah… uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Have you ever seen him desperately covering his mouth while crying desperately?

I’ve seen many sides of her, but this was the first time she looked as unstable as she is now.

“Has your seasickness gotten worse?”

Did the magic break? The moment I spoke to her with that thought in mind.

She was sobbing in pain with her head down, and she jumped up and ran towards me.

And then he put me in my arms and buried his head.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

I frowned at the sight of him suffering, not knowing what to do.

Why is she suddenly doing this?

Reflexively, I jerked my body slightly and looked at her face to see her expression contorted into a mess.

Her expression was desperate.

“Uh how is it, Prince… I’m weird… My hair… Something’s weird! What should I do… what should I do… Heuuuuuuu!”

She was trying hard not to show her ugly side.

I cried and cried desperately for help.

“calm down. What the hell is going on?”

I carefully tried to calm her down, but she couldn’t calm down easily.

no way.

The moment I tried to wake her up thinking that maybe not.

She came into my arms, buried her face in my chest, and cried, pushing me away.

Quadang!!

At the same time, as my body fell to the floor, she climbed on top of me and cried out, wiping her eyes with one hand.

“Prince… please… I don’t want to forget like this…”

“Damn it…”

As expected, this damn penalty made Aria know about it.

That her most cherished memories are slowly fading away.

“I don’t want to forget. please…! please! I… I can’t remember the prince’s face! I can’t remember the prince’s name!”

I couldn’t say anything for a long time at the sight of him crying desperately.

“I really… like it… I really love it… I really adore it…”

Her voice, which had been screaming, slowly began to diminish.

“I don’t want to forget the prince like this… but I want to have this heart for the rest of my life…”

It must have been the first time. It is true that she expressed such strong intentions through Eria’s own will rather than something else.

The girl who desperately wrapped up all the good and bad things because she would never cause trouble.

As the critical point exploded, the appearance of appealing for the truth looked really painful.

“Memories of the prince are fading out of my head one by one… Please help me. I don’t want to lose precious memories of the prince like this… I think I’ve become weird. Please…”

“Princess. There is only one way to solve it.”

At my words, she flinched.

“To nullify the resurrection.”

Did you say the miracle of the second month? The miracle of the first month featured the miracle of saving her life instead of taking the most precious thing from her.

Conversely, instead of taking her life again, the Miracle of the Second Moon reverses the amnesia penalty inflicted on her.

It was a difference of choice.

“I don’t want to forget… I hate anything more painful than dying… More than anything else, I don’t want to lose all of my memories with the prince!”

She cried out and buried her head.

“If you’re going to live like that… I’d rather die with my memories…”

At the same time, she stood up again. As befits the Nine Tails, a race that is excellent at bewitching the opposite sex, her eyes looked surprisingly beautiful and sad.

Then, she raised her head and looked at me, sitting on my stomach, quickly bowed her waist and put her lips on my mouth with bewitching familiarity.

It wasn’t that her instincts had awakened, it was her own impulsive behavior.

The difference was astonishing enough to be considered huge.

At the same time, nine bluish-green tails began to sprout from under her skirt.

The dark, red moon caught the light of a more sparkling moonlit night, giving her tail a reddish glow.

“I’d rather…”

I heard her desperate voice change at the same time.

“Kill me… so I don’t lose any more memories of you…”

“Let’s stop laughing.”

At my words, she tightened her grip on my collar.

And then he said it with a squeeze.

“Then… I’d rather leave your mark on my body. Hug me… Before I forget you like this… Let my body remember you…”
