Chapter 15 : <Althea>

{What the hell, System! Why the hell did my personality change!}

[There is an appropriate reason for that, host.]

{Then tell me!}

[That was the direct order from the King. Not just any royalties but from the King himself.]

{The King? Why did he have his eyes on me?}

[For that, I don't know host. What he ordered was to make your previous personality as a base and add some memories from this life in there whenever you go on .]

{Wait, what?}

[Don't you act on your previous life memories more than this life? For example; thinking back to your previous family and your girlfriend more than you think about them in this world?]

{Now that you mention it.}

[And you didn't flinch when you killed someone because of some memories from this world, host. You got some important memories from this world and added those into your body when you go on .]

Why would someone like the King have his interest in me? Is it because of the fact that it was Noir who reincarnated me? Then is Noir someone important? I was reincarnated by some big shot? Wow, my respect for Noir is growing larger.

"Welcome back, Master." Luna gave me a curt bow. I nodded at her.

"Luna, can you get me a cup of tea? I miss yours," I proceed to sit on my chair. I missed this chair too. The chair that I've sat on since I was 5 years old.

I tried breathing and it works on my body like I've used it for years. At least I can use it in this body too. And I wanna slap past me in the face to call this name ominous. This is fitting for someone like me who is aiming to become an Evil Lord.

[I will now give you the reward for the quests you've done in Multiverse Travel and compensation for downgrading your .]

Don't you think that I will drop this matter just like this, System? We will talk later about changing my personality without telling me. And I will have a word with the King sooner or later if he was the reason.

[First, for downgrading your , you get 1 x .]

Hmm… A new skill, huh? I won't say no to that.

[Now, for your reward for finishing the , you get 1 x ]

Althea? What is that? I pull out Althea from my and what greeted me was something I've never expected.

{System, isn't this from Nasuverse?} I asked.

This looks exactly like with a different color scheme. What I am seeing is, instead of gold and blue scabbard, it was black and red. There are some inscriptions on it and I take it as some runes from the maker.

Althea

[It is, host. It was made by fairies from Nasuverse. Normally, your reward was going to be a random skill.]

{Huh? Then why did I get this?}

[I am getting there, host. Then, the fairies got a direct order from the King himself. He wanted to apologize for changing your personality without telling you first.]

{Hmm… Apology accepted. Worth it.}

[And a message from the King.]

"Now that I've already apologized to you, I will still keep doing it even if you like it or not."

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

That's official, the King is a d*ck.

[And you have a message from Lady Vivian from Nasuverse.]

{Please tell me the message.}

[Alright, host.]

"You thought it was something like , right? No, it is not. This was something we made after getting an order from his Majesty. You can say that this is a somewhat downgrade version of . You won't get immortality from this. You will still get killed if you got stabbed in the heart. People die if they are killed, right?" I heard a soothing voice of a woman. I take it as it was Lady Vivian's.

What the hell? Did Lady Vivian just quote Emiya Shirou? And downgrade version of ? It still got healing factors, right? Then it works for me.

[There are still more, host.]

"You can still regrow your limbs after getting cut. Unlike , it might take days. But, the same as , this can also be considered as 'Absolute defense' Noble Phantasm. For this to happen, we made the scabbard to have temporary contact with Avalon from time to time."

That was a lot to take in. Won't you need permission from above if you want to connect Avalon and the scabbard? And as if to know my thought, Lady Vivian continues her talk.

"Of course, we already got permission from the Will of the World you are currently staying and his Majesty himself. As you know, this will completely shield you in the domain of the fairies, Avalon. This scabbard is the greatest protection in the world that goes beyond defending or reflecting, completely isolating you in a world completely separate from the regular world. This can also dissipate into countless tiny particles in the air and engulfs you to become a 'portable fortress' that shuts out all interference."

Wow, they really did a number there. I must say I am impressed. My very own version of .

"For the final message, do not worry about any damage. This scabbard will keep out all filth from the outside world and allows nothing to harm you that stands in the land of Avalon. As there is already an , I named this . The meaning is 'The one who heals'. I named it as a person because she is like a daughter to me. Take care of her or I will find a way to get to your world."

Wow, scary. Lady Vivian is scary. I could feel killing intent from here. How the hell did she do that?

[That is the end of the message, host. As you can see, this scabbard is not . Another thing is that the King told me that you will someday find the sword that will fit for the scabbard one day in your world and not to sheath random sword you get from the .]

{Okay. At least I can do that.}

I turn my head back to look at Luna who is standing behind me.

"Luna, give these to Delfina and let her monopolize these products," I said as I gave Luna books about foods and home appliances I got from Kagaya. With these, her business will go higher.

"At once, Master."

"Oh, and Luna. Is Delfina still sending money monthly?"

"Yes, she is, Master."

"Seriously. Although I told her not to spend her money to pay off the debts of mine. I can hold on just fine."

Delfina or rather Delphine to outsiders, is sending me money monthly. And the amount she sending me is scary. She is sending 20 Platinum coins per month. Just how much did she work hard for this. But I won't be using these in case she needs them for an emergency. The total amount she sent to me up to today is 360 Platinum coins. And that is a lot.

I told her not to use our family name is because of this. I don't want her to send money to pay off my debts. This is something I must do as a Gregorios. And this is the trial that Noir gave me to improve myself.

"Luna, did we build a hospital in my territory?"

"Not yet, Master. There are healing mages in the territory and never needed for those."

"Then build one now. We still have to summon. And I have some books she might like."

This time, Luna blink away for 5 minutes. It seems she is talking with Delfina before blinking back. At that time, I also heard a knock from the door.

"My lord, it is Gurguit."

Ah, my faithful knight to aid me on my conquest. I am not gonna lie. I kind of missed Gurguit whenever I trained my during . His harsh training is the reason why I can train effortlessly after all.

"Come in," I said.

"Pardon for intruding, my lord. My lord? You look different. No, the way you walk is different. It looks more refined. Did you go on your travel, my lord?"

What a sharp dude. He could understand immediately what I did.

"You are correct, Sir Gurguit. I even got married on the travel," I smile when I thought about Nezuko. Even though I can't take her with me now, I will go and take her 7 years later.

"Wha?" It was Gurguit. His eyes are wide and his mouth hanging open that an egg could fit inside it. And Luna? Well, as for Luna, Luna.exe has stopped working. She is standing still without batting her eyes.

Then, I got bombarded with a lot of questions. Luna blinked and carried Delfina into the room. Then hell unleashed upon me. Delfina is angry with me for not telling her first when I got back into the world.

Not gonna lie, even though I was her summoner, she is hella scary when she got mad. Just look at all of those nobles she ruined. No, she is not going to ruin me. But she can do something worse. She can stop Luna from letting me eat my chocolate. She is the main chocolate supplier of the house. And Luna would listen to her just to see me suffer.

Demons! Even onis I've seen in KnY world are not as evil as this.

"My lord, I've come here to give you notice." Gurguit resumes his report after things settle down. Delfina is still in the room though.

"About what?"

"When patrolling (invading) around this area, I found an old ruin which got sealed. I thought I should inform you first."

"Good job, Sir Gurguit. I will personally go there alone."

"But, my lord!"

"It is okay, Sir Gurguit. I want to test out the skills I got from the travel." Yes, that is the truth. I want to test out the limit of and my . I tried using and I can still do it.

"I will take, Luna with me. Will that be alright, Sir Gurguit?" I asked because I keep seeing his worried face. He is such a mother hen, isn't he?

"That will do, my lord."

I am going on my personal adventure with my maid. Now, go green with envy.
