What’s going on?!
“Miss Asagao, it works! I feel really powerful right now!!”
“Ahh…ye-yes….”
With a seriously deadpan face, she is smiling and jumping!
The emblem on her back followed every movement she makes. Her fox ears are bouncing up and down together with her fluffy tails. It’s really cute but it is not the time for that!
She ran up to me...no, did she teleported?! She was suddenly there and hugging me and jumping while lifting me from the ground!
“Hey! What kind of joke is this!?”
Begol shouted.
I don’t know. Don’t ask me filthy breath.
“Huh? You still there? Please get out of here now.”
“Higanbana! You are going to be mine!”
“Tsk! Go to hell. Icicle!”
Higan’s normal icicles are usually as big as my fist and had no edges or sharpness. However…HOWEVER! These icicles are bigger than me! No, double of my size! They look so sharp that it’s like a large javelin! Hey! Don’t go killing anyone now okay!
“You may lose your ability to fight but this much won’t kill you.”
“Urk…”
BOOM!
Begol is now in the ground twitching. I really think what Higanbana said is not serious. I think she made the icicle impacts the ground. That what it is in my mind.
It was kind of anti-climatic now.
Isn’t Higanbana became a cheat too?
No, I think in terms of magic versatility, Bacarra can overpower her.
“Miss Asagao! Miss Asagao!! I did it!”
“Y-yeah…”
I can’t say anything. There aren’t even a single people in the crowd tried to cheer or say something.

“Um...Miss Asagao, can you turn me back?”
“Let me try…”
I will try, no, I need to.
I can’t have you walking around with divine aura around you, you know! You might become a weird deity around here where people would suddenly bow down to you.
That’s what I am feeling right now to the people in this place.
I imagined pulling something from her. The power that I gave her, I tried pulling that something that was passed over her. After quite a moment, I did it. I pulled the power from her and she turned back. and…
“Higan! Y-your clothes!”
“Oh my…”
Her clothes were tattered and shredded.
I immediately summoned my dimensional storage and gave her a spare white shirt like mine. She immediately wears it.
The referee suddenly announces…
“T-the..the winner is Miss Higanbana and Miss Asagao!”
The cheers exploded. My ear hurts. I beckon Higan to leave immediately.
My first tag team match… ended up being a good laugh.
“Miss Asagao, that was amazing! That enhancement magic is so powerful I felt invincible!”
“Even I don’t know what that is.”
“Anyway, Miss Asagao! We won! I hope he learns his lessons and never bother me again!”
While we are exiting the arena, an old turtle-like beast kin came to us and spoke.
“Excuse me, little misses, the king wanted to meet you urgently now.”
“Miss Asagao?”
Higan looks at me. Higan and I are a bit tired but I don’t want this chance to slip away. We don’t know when the King will change his mind, so I take the opportunity.
“I understand. We will answer to his call right now.”
“Thank you very much! Please follow me.”
He then led us to the castle. No, a large tree made as a castle. The interior, contrary to being a tree, was really grand that it reminds me of Astlan's Castle. Clean carpets, stone brick walls and varying sizes of armors lined up in some hallway.
We are taken to a guest room.
There were a large couch and some furniture. There are a snack and refreshment readied in the table in the front of the couch.
“My apologies, little misses. I said urgently but King Folga might get here in another 10 minutes, so please for the meantime, rest here.”
“Un. We understand.”
“Thank you, I will take my leave now.”
He left us.
Higanbana and I are sitting side by side. No, we are directly leaning at each other. I wonder why...because...we're so tired...
.
.
.
“AAHHH!”
“FUEH?!”
I got up immediately shocked which also wakes Higan up too.
We fell asleep?! Eh?
We are still on the couch fine… even so, we let our defense down.
EH?!
There was a beast kin that easily surpasses two hundred fifty centimeters. He is so big and has lion-like features. Unlike Fon who never wears his crown, this man here wears a grand one.
He is the king right?!
Because he is so big and intimidating, I feel like my body started to tremble again.
“Auu…”
“D-don’t be scared! I am not harmful, little girl!
“…”
“…”
“Eh…how long have we been sleeping?”
“About two hours now.”
“EH?!”
“Gahahahahaha!!!!”
“Why didn’t you wake us up?
“Why you ask little girl? When I arrived here, you two are sleeping leaning at each other, it was so adorable that I will feel really bad about it for the rest of my life if I wake you up!! By the way, I am King Folga!”
He is five hundred years old now, right? Never mind. He seems to be a hearty fellow.
“I heard you wipe the floor with my arrogant son’s face right?! Gahahahaha! Fantastic! By the way, I already know that this fox girl here is Izuna’s daughter, but you little miss, what is your name?”
“My name is Asagao Lionheart, nice meeting you King Folga.”
I composed myself and readily introduce myself as such and showed the insignia of the Lionheart. This is one of my cheat skill you know!~
“OH?! Hehehe…hahahaha…GAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Eh? This king is…
“I see, I see! Begol! Come here come here!”
He called his son. Begol stood behind King Folga.
“Look Begol! This little girl here is the little sister of that man! The one who whooped our asses many years ago!!!!”
“GEH!”
“And you tried to make her your concubine! Gahahaha! If that would happen our kingdom is doom you know!! Gahahahaha!!!”
Eh…why are you still laughing? It’s funny though that he actually said whoop. Higan then spoke.
“King Folga, we are sorry for saying this late but, Happy Birthday!”
“Happy Birthday, King Folga!”
“Thank you little misses! Being told by that by these cute flowers makes my heart healthier!
We greeted him and congratulated him on his birthday. After that, I tried to bring back the serious talk.
“King Folga, I have a request.”
"Gahaha! They said you were brave in the field out there little miss! I see now that like your brother, your heart is braver and courageous like a lion! You even beat us who are races of a lion!”
I will capitalize it, okay. I TRIED TO BRING BACK THE SERIOUS TALK.
But this hearty king kept going and going on how Fon arrived here like a storm and how he mowed down many warriors here like nothing and said that Begol was actually a fan of Fon.
Excuse me Begol, Fon brushes his teeth okay.
I feel defeated by this king even though we won the match against his arrogant son. This talk will take a while huh…
I wonder how is Alstroe right now.
