Chapter 18 Haruka's Confession
"Is such a young girl already the holder of the Demon Dao Book... Looking at Jasmine in front of her, Haruka couldn't help but think of Elsa, Amy and Xiang. At the same time that the space-time magic was activated, the three children were swept into a black hole, and it is unclear whether they are still alive or not. Thinking like this, Haruka's heart suddenly felt a little more guilty.
"The Book of Demons in my body is what you gave to Gardia. Jasmine looked up at Haruka.
"Yes, after all, I'm not the real holder, and it's useless to put this thing with me. ”
"But aren't you the Demon Lord of the Northern Kingdom? From your current standpoint, we and Princess Iskar are both your enemies, is it really good for you to help your enemies like this?"
"Help, in fact, it is just an attempt to atone for my sins, because I have deceived you and betrayed your trust in me, so ... Before Haruka could finish his words, Gardia, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward to interrupt him.
"Now isn't the time to apologize to us?" she silently gestured to the innermost room on the right side of the living room, "Let's go meet Iskar first." ”
"I'm sorry... Haruka nodded to the others, then walked briskly to the room where Iska was.
"Iska? are you in there... It's me... Haruka knocked lightly on the door, then asked cautiously.
"Come in, the door is unlocked. Iska's voice came from inside the door.
Haruka, who was allowed to do so, cautiously pushed open the door to the room and walked inside.
The first thing that catches your eye is a large and luxurious wooden bed, and through the tulle-like curtains, Iska is sitting quietly, her legs covered by a velvet quilt, and a loose coat is draped over her body.
"Iskar... You... Your right hand ... Obviously, Haruka sensed a sense of disobedience at a glance, and his right arm, which should have been propped up on his coat shoulder, looked empty at this time.
"You saw through it at a glance, and I was thinking of covering it with my clothes. Iskar said with a smile, and Haruka's heart tingled like a knife.
"Yes ... Was it cut off in the battle with Hibbert... His voice trembled a little, and the whole person slowly approached the bed.
"Actually, I broke it myself, you should know that that guy's blood chain can eat all the damage. She said disapprovingly.
"But, you... ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's already the smallest price, not only did we succeed in lifting the barrier that trapped us, but we also snatched your sword back. ”
"I'm sorry... It's all because of me ... Haruka slowly knelt down on the edge of the bed, bowing her head deeply and not daring to look at her.
"Fool!" Iskar leaned his body to Haruka's side, then reached out and gently stroked his head, "From the moment I was chosen by the Holy Sword, it was my mission to fight the Demon King, and it was not your fault at all. ”
"I'm so useless, I obviously want to stop any of you from being harmed, but instead I caused this ending... Haruka said in a choked voice.
"Aren't we companions? don't always think about carrying everything alone, whether it's me or Gardia, we all want to be your strength, so don't say goodbye anymore, okay?"
"But I have concealed my identity and deceived you... Even so, am I entitled to your help? ”
"It doesn't matter to me who you are, even if you're the Demon King, even if you're the enemy of the whole world! I'll choose to stand by your side, because I'm against you... At this, Iskar suddenly fell silent, and even through the bed veil, she could see a faint flush on her cheeks.
“。。。。。。 At this time, even if Haruka was sluggish, she somewhat understood her thoughts, and she didn't know how to speak for a while. The two fell into a brief silence.
"Uh-huh—" Gardia suddenly walked in from outside, interrupting the silence with a cough.
Seeing Gardia coming, Iskar quickly withdrew the hand that was stroking Haruka, and then sat down in the center of the bed, while Haruka quickly stood up and looked at her with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry to bother you two, but there's a lot more to explain to Haruka right now, right?" Gardia's gaze swept over Haruka's body, and he didn't look very friendly.
"Yes, this time, you must tell us the truth of everything!!!" Iskar said sternly......
Back in the living room, everyone sat around the circular couch in the center, and Haruka began to tell all about his life and experience, as well as the information he had learned from Sicili.
"This... It's incredible... Callante exclaimed in amazement, Haruka's experience seemed to him as illusory and unreal.
"I didn't expect it to be like this... It must be very helpless and panicked to be summoned to this era alone, right?"
"It's no wonder that when you first met, you felt as if you were out of touch with this era, and you didn't even know the most basic common sense. Iskar couldn't help but think of the first time she met Haruka.
"I didn't expect that there was such a huge conspiracy hidden behind all this, and that guy named Hibbert was far more dangerous than we thought. Galdia frowned when she learned the truth, and she was deeply aware that the battle would be even more brutal than before......
