Chapter 11 - Volume 2 Chapter 4: I'll Return To This Land Someday

I woke up in a long dream. My body feels so heavy. I opened my eyes and I was laying inside my room.

"Yuzuha! Chisa-chan! Arisu is awake!"

"Tokiro, How long did I fall asleep?"

"3 days before you got teleported into the deep forest."

That long? I feel stupid. More than that I didn't have much help from Moritaka-san. He saves me more than himself. I'm incapable of defeating X Demon more than him. He should be living much longer than me. Why do I have to be so useless?

Yuzuha, Chisaka, and Mori came to see me. I feel guilty and my tears drop seeing Mori.

My heart is crushing, I feel so guilty, I want to grieve more and more, but I have to endure it.

"Mori, sorry! Moritaka-san didn't make it because of me. I'm useless, weak, and cowardly. He should save himself more than me. I don't deserve being forgiven—"

"No! It's alright, my brother might be angry if you said such a thing. That's why do not blame yourself for anything. He is a fine swordsman that protects everyone in his own way."

"That reminds me again, Mori tells us something about her past where you are involved"

"You already remember everything? Since when?"

"At the time Amane sent to Yuzuha and Tokiro 3 days ago. You and I aren't from this world"

That creeps me out. Even though I didn't get it.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll start with how and why we were summoned here. In our world, the country of Japan is in big trouble because of recent chaos. Hakogane Yatsemi from this world who travels in our world makes a school where the students will participate in stopping the chaos. Our mission is to defeat the demon lord and bring Shynn-sensei back to our world. That's our mission all this time. We were summoned and accelerated our age like a newborn for us to learn many things in this world.

"That's a pretty terrible one. The mission is crazy and hard to achieve."

That's true but, to save both. We need to find shynn-sensei"

Shynn-sensei? I see! It was the person that Moritaka-san looked up to. But how do we find him? Moritaka-san said he has been missing for a hundred years."

"We have given a clue who can be a certain person who can be Shynn-sensei."

"I see. Oh! Then? What happened the time you lost your memories here?"

" When I was 6 years old. Father and I hung around outside of the village. An hour later, we saw that the village was on fire so we went inside to find mom and brother. We got surrounded by tons of goblins and orcs and my father defeated them all without leaving any scratch on his skin. A demon appears which is the 5th X Demon. Strong winds blow and my father has a hard time defeating the demon. I flew away being blown by the wind and lost consciousness. I gained consciousness at the time I saw my mother fighting tons of goblins and orcs. My father stays behind and he lets us all escape even though my brother is stopping him. "The last word that I heard from him is 'I'll be a demon soon so while I'm still human, I need to save the others.' 1 year later after the Invasion, my mother died because of her sickness and we lived with my grandfather who was living in sunrise village. That's all in the past I remembered."

"You said that I was from another world. What was I like before?"

"Huh? You don't remember?"

"Right! I have amnesia."

"We are in the same class. You were a gloomy person, good-looking, quiet, and much of that, you have a lot of female friends. You really became a different person you know?"

"Like how?"

"You don't laugh, smile, cry, or feel sad. You were just a normal person like you don't have any emotions."

"HAHAHAHA it doesn't match with me right now."

"Yeah, I can't believe it too."

"So, what's your name in our world?"

"Hizuki Sumire, why do you ask?"

"If we ever came back to our world. I'll thank you very much for being here with me right now."

They are getting ready for breakfast while Tokiro is swinging his sword outside.

After I ate my breakfast, I took my sword as if I was going outside but Tokiro stopped me.

"I'll look just for something."

"It's dangerous. The enemies are still around. You might get caught"

"Moritaka-san promised me to get the book inside his house in the basement. Once it is in my hand, I'll return immediately. I don't plan on getting revenge. It's too far for me to defeat the X Demon so do not worry. If I ever get in trouble, I'll face it with full power. And if it ends up down again, I'll ask you guys to take care of me."

"Promise that, partner?"

"I promise that, to the bottom of my heart."

I was in a super hurry and with my speed, I arrived there in 20 minutes.

3 orcs guarding the sunrise village gate against east and west. The inside of the village was surrounded by black smoke that I can't see through what is inside. I can see only living things, that's why I'm having a hard time finding them. I can do my sixth sense where I can detect or see through human body parts and the flow of magic and it can't detect non-living things like books. There is no choice, I have to get in by force.

"Vanishing Fire, Sun Art: Kusanagi!"

Kusanagi is a spinning ring flame that can be swung from any angle. The ring flame will remain at the point where the sword was swung and it will be divided into two. The second ring will expand wider. And if it reaches the maximum limit distance, it'll turn into a red flame from the first ring to the second ring. It can also be turned into a red flame by force. Red flame is enough to burn someone like the demon god who is at the second rank of the demon race.

Moritaka told me that there is tons of magic inside me that was sealed. I was the only person who can remove the seal but it will not be easy to remove it at will. My stamina or we will call it mana has increased. Moritaka-san told me that my mana has 3 seals. The first seal has been lifted which means I can use the second of my mana. The kid's mana is colored white. For normal color blue. The rare color yellow that the higher elite and captains have. The other is the color orange which is what the pillar has. The violet mana color is what the god/goddess and the demon lord have. And the last mana is red, an extraordinary one that only one person manages to reach that level. No one knows the real appearance of that person. It was all written in the book of magic.

The Sun magic is kind of draining more mana, that's why I decrease using the Sun magic. There is one more magic that Moritaka-san said that I have. The Sky magic was the first generation where the normal wind magic came from. No one has the power of Sky magic unless you are part of the Kitahara clan.

The black smoke is thicker than I expected. I tried to get in but it seems it wasn't normal smoke, it was like barrier smoke. I came up with the idea and I tried to copy the orc's body by transforming myself. Moritaka-san teaches us many types of magic that can help us on operation missions and transforming magic is included. I tried to get in and I managed to get inside. It was a nice barrier but it kinda sucked because I got in without any problem.

Three goblins stopped in front of me.

"Are there any humans outside?" the goblin said.

I didn't tell them that there was a human around and started to walk the other way. I was behind the ruined house and saw a kid running while holding food.

He got caught and the orc swung his sword.

"5 thunders: Discharge!"

5 thunder has 5 colors, Red, blue, orange, yellow, and green thunder spikes.

The orc got hit by the 5 thunder and got toasted.

"Hey, come with me!"

We hid and nearly got caught.

"What are you doing alone in this village? Is there someone else with you?"

"Y-yes! My little sister!"

"I see, okay then, let's save your sister so just be by my side and tell me where your little sister is."

We found his little sister. We got out of the village without changing our appearance. Looks like only the outside has security. I hid them in the forest for a while. I went off to give them some food to eat.

"Eat quietly, don't make any sounds, I'll just go back inside the village to get something, I'll be quick, okay?"

"Be careful Onii-chan!"

"Right!"

I found Mori's house. 11 orcs around near Mori's house. If I kill one of them, I'll get caught. I have no choice but to kill them all.

I continuously use the Vanishing fire until it gets faster and faster. 11 orcs are down and I took all the books to Moritaka-san's basement and put it inside the bag. I had only 5 books inside and it won't trouble me. I escaped and went back to the kids.

"I got it, well, I'm Arisu, what are your names?

"I'm Sho and my little sister is Yumi."

"Where are your parents?"

"Uh… We just live by ourselves, we don't know the face and the names of our parents."

"Sorry about that. You guys are hungry, right? Let's go to my place, I'll lend you both a place to call home."

Both of them smiled and came with me.

I arrive at my place by noon. Tokiro is still training his sword skills while Yuzuha is waiting.

Yuzuha intensely glared at me.

"What makes you too long? You didn't inform me that you'll go outside alone!"

"Sorry, I just found these two inside the village and took them over. This boy is Sho and his little sister's name is Yumi."

"Let's go inside, I'll be ready for your food!"

After they eat, Yuzuha, Mori, and Yumi sleep in Chisaka's room after chatting. Tokiro and Chisaka were playing card games at the top while I was sitting outside of the house. Sho sat beside me and he said he wanted to learn magic to protect his little sister.

"I'm not strong enough to protect my little sister, that's why I wanted you to teach me!"

"Lift your head Sho. Arisu-nii always accepts any offers if it comes to my family or friends"

"Thank you very much, I'll treasure this day forever."

"Alright then! I'll train you and make you stronger in 1 week!"

Sho is my first student. While in the middle of the training, he reached his limit and mostly got unconscious and the Aura on his body showed up. It was a white aura which means light magic. One of the rarest magic that Sho got, was the third generation magic. His specialty magic is the same as mine, the speed of light, and it was called "Whiteout". I can be greater than mine and his magic can surpass me.

Yuzuha and Tokiro told me about the land and missions that were given by cops. Maybe all the people from this land have already evacuated to the other land.

It's been 3 months since we stayed in this land. Sho and Yumi celebrated their birthday 1 week ago August 12 for both of them. Sho turned 9 and Yumi is 5 years old. We are planning to leave tomorrow to join Royal Land cops. We already decide it, we decide to risk our lives for the sake of humanity. All we matter is to see the beauty of the world and the joy of people.

In the middle of the night, Tokiro woke up to drink water. I was sitting outside and he called me out.

"Arisu, sleep already. Have some rest, we have to leave here early in the morning" Tokiro yawned."

"Go sleep, I'll pack all our things."

I woke up at 6 AM, more like I hadn't had much sleep at night because I'm excited. It's okay because I had a lot of sleep yesterday morning. I woke Yuzuha and Mori and they made our breakfast. Sho jumps on top of Tokiro to wake him up. Tokiro opened his eyes and tried to pull Sho's foot. Sho used whiteout to prevent it.

"Not bad Sho, better to dodge this ball!"

Sho dodge them all but got hit by the last ball.

"You are still slow, practice more."

"Sure I will, I'll be fast just like Arisu-nii!"

While they were eating, Yuzuha asked Tokiro where Yumi and I were.

"Up there. they're playing," Mori said.

"Eh!!! Arisu!!! Put Yumi down here!!!"

Yumi and I were at the top of the tree and were about to jump off.

"Ready Yumi? Don't be afraid, Arisu-nii will hold you."

"I'm not afraid, let's go!"

I jumped high and we saw the highest view that we saw in our life. Before we fell to the ground, I used a Vanishing fire so as not to crush the ground and leave without injuries.

After we ate, I put things out of the house and was ready to go.

I have been secretly checking the situation in this land for 3 months. The Orcs and Goblins have increased and some demons have started to live here. The outside now is dangerous because 3 days ago, the demon has increased too much than I expected.

I visit Grandfather's grave and I promise him that I'll come back to this land.

Mori, Yumi, sho, and Yuzuha went to the top and went down to the escape route north of the mountain. We have just to follow the north until we reach the end of the land. Tokiro told me that they sent a boat for us and they're waiting there 3 days ago.

I was standing and looking at the view of the sun.

"Hey! Arisu, let's go now!"

I put my fist to the sun and said "I'll promise to return to this land someday and bring everyone back. I'll promise that, Moritaka-san!"

I'll make my promise happen, even facing the worst ahead of me.
