we have been talking for a long time about things related to the past.
as her storytelling went on I thought of something.
something I knew was very disturbing to my sanity.
one of which is what Luthien himself said every 400 years. that he uses the life force of the angels to perform the ritual of being summoned while the demon lords have nothing to do with it. because I was the tenth summoned.
the closer to the truth is Astalga’s version.
while luthien's version is still vague in black liquid when understood.
so I believe more in Astalga because she has concrete explanations and evidence.
but Astalga explained that perhaps what is being referred to every 400 years is the life that only one dark elves has. the oldest in the history of the Dark elves does not rise to 400 years. unlike the Elfen who can reach 600 years. so being summoned by the demon Lord is done and does not base any of the above.
while the hero is in a different version of the story contrary to the belief that they were simultaneously summoned alongside with the Demon Lords.
So Astalga came to a conclusion on this.
that the reason they appeared and were not summoned had to do with the evil that took place every 400 years. and I am already a proof that appeared accurate in 400 years. but all she wondered was why I was aging so fast.
whereas in sum I am only one years old.
my condition is surprising because it is the first time on their record that a demon lord has become a hero.
"Is it messy?"
" I think.."
"I'm also confused but let's change the topic."
"What about?"
"I just wanted to know if you're also from Earth? I mean, the world that almost resembles the modern things I've seen here in your kingdom is exactly the same as the Earth I came from."
She was silent for a moment that I knew she had thought of.
"I don't remember where I came from but if you think modern things here are similar to those on earth .. wait I'll show you something before we leave this place."
"Leaving this place.?"
"yes but I also need to ask you first because maybe you can find a remedy for this matter."
Although I wondered what she said, I followed where she went.
a door like an elevator.
when she opened it, I found out that it was really an elevator. It's really surprising because I'm in another world but it looks like I just returned to Earth ..
I told her that we call it an elevator. Astalga also says the same from her memory.
but she was sad because she was only worried about things and not her past life. but it was better because in this world her memory became useful even if it was not complete, she was still happy. but after she said she was happy she had the opposite reaction on her face. it was as if she was feeling grief and her feeling penetrated my senses.
why am i affected?
have I become too complacent next to her.
"here we are .."
She stopped and pressed the button. the elevator is up. that is, we are on top of the kingdom. what could she want to show me? and what kind of remedy would suit it. although I haven't seen it yet so I'll just find out in case I see it.
the elevator door opened.
I was surprised and I was excited.
is this true Am I dreaming.
"hahaha you should see your face."
I looked at Astalga who I just saw smile. but what surprised me the most was this thing.
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather multirole strike fighter [6] derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. The F-15E was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high-speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic-warfare aircraft. United States Air Force (USAF) F-15E Strike Eagles can be generally distinguished from other US Eagle variants by darker aircraft camouflage, conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) mounted along the engine intake ramps (although CFTs can also be mounted on earlier F-15 variants) and a tandem-seat cockpit.
"Is this really true?"
"yes but there is a problem."
"What's that?"
"no one knows how to use it. so you probably also don't know how to use it. so it's a waste of all our effort in creating it. it's a pity isn't it."
" Hahahaha.."
"What's funny?"
"Didn't you say everything created here is based on your memory?"
"yes"
"so you are a pilot or engineer of an aircraft .."
" I think not.."
" Huh! Why?"
"in my memory. the blueprint did not come from me but from someone who cried while looking at every detail of a blueprint."
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know but he's also one of my memories that I can't see his face."

"Forget it. The important thing is that I'm in front of this now my extraordinary friend."
I hurried over to it hugged and kissed every part of it.
Astalga wondered what I was doing and wondered why I was kissing a plane.
and I also didn’t notice that everywhere we go there are cameras compliant therefore all my conduct since I came here to their kingdom is carefully considered.
but that's not what's on my mind otherwise
"Can I try to fly this one?"
I taught on the plane at the same time .
"if it agrees with you why not. you are free to do whatever you want on that plane."
after Astalga said I looked at the runway. and this will suffice to take off but the landing will be awkward. the important thing is to test its ability whether it is real or fake
I didn't hesitate yet I asked if it had gas? Astalga says this plane has no gas and the only thing that drives it is the core of a fierce dragon
is there a dragon here too
the tragedy that befell me will never happen again .
okay
Astalga and the demon around moved away after I started the airplane engine
"this is flight 1 preparing for take off. platform secure. taking off ..
and I flew in the sky again .
I flew above the clouds
there are dragons flying above the clouds .
the beautiful scenery. I see the fissure mountain where I crossed from human territory
as well as the new fissure mountain that is not on my map. it turns out that this continent is divided into three parts. the Demons' territory is still larger
"Come back here. We have something important to talk about.
"okay.
She spoke to me using telepathy
When I came back, I landed safely, but with Astalga's help, nothing went wrong on the plane
"I thought she was going to get scratched. It's okay and you're there Astalga. Thank you ..
"I didn't do anything else but stop the thing from falling as a mother so you have nothing to be thankful for.
"ahh I mean thank you because my wish has finally been fulfilled ..
"What do you want?
"is ahh to fly in the sky.
"Is that so! By the way, I'm all ready and I'm going to Aragorne so I'll ask you if you're coming or not.
"yes. I'm coming but I'm only up to the entrance and I also want to go home to the human realm.."
"It's enough that you just accompany me for a moment. If in the future you visit here again in my kingdom you are welcome here.
" thanks a lot.
"Besides, I know you'll be back here, won't you?"
at once she looks at the plane
Astalga guessed the reason I might be coming back to this place again.
She grabbed me and carried me into an open space. looks like a big stadium. and here are her Arch demons that you will know immediately because of the Wings they possess.
She introduced me to Flean and Chanele they are also demon lords. they wore modern clothing. you would not think they were demon lords because they resembled humans. pure demons are also not nearly as different from Humans. only their skin and small horns separate the appearance but his demon Lord I can say they are more human looks to me.
"everything is ready"
when Astalga said this and the floor of the stadium lit up ..
it was as if a portal had opened to heaven and suddenly.
day 394. 12 noon
when I woke up we were in the place where the big tree was standing and this tree I knew was going to Aragorne.
but there seems to be something wrong with it.
the Arch demons hurried to inspect the tree but.
they failed because the tunnel was gone.
therefore. Aragorne will never be seen again.
Astalga did not despair and tore the ground dug with her power.
perhaps she thought it was underground.
but even she failed. because what she dug was lava.
which she immediately returned to normal.
She still tried to scan the ground but she failed to locate Aragorne ..
only yesterday it was here but why now it seems to be gone.
I looked at Astalga who had been silent before.
"Let's go back."
She said disappointed with the discovery.
"just a moment Alicia or Wolf fang. dont let your guard down. specially to the King of Abhaya."
" why?"
"Just my advice."
and immediately the floor lit up and they suddenly disappeared.
That is mass teleportation. Astalga uses mass teleportation. but why didn't she use it when she went to Revendele ..
why should I even think of those things. I think the road home is the only thing left for me.
day 398 ..
I went through Revendel. they didn't know me but they welcomed me because I was beautiful and charming ..
I'm beautiful? errrr ..
sigh ..
I can't help but go through here because I feel like I miss them somehow.
the kingdom I thought would be erased from history and added to the ruins but I was wrong. I am mistaken in thinking the Demon Lord is evil.
I carry the message of the Demons.
"peace and prosperous relationship."
and because of my appearance I did easily convinced their leader general Nalia leen. and she was still with Nava leen who had been watching me before.
"Where did you get your attire Miss Alicia?"
"ahhh is it?
_should I just make excuses? I don't have to get through here because they might not believe me.
wolf fang gave it to me and he also used it. but I don't know where he is now after he saved me. "
"wolf fang saved you? tell me where he went?"
"I'm sorry but I don't know."
saddened Nava leen as well as general Nalia. but nevertheless they gladly received me into their kingdom.
day 405 ..
I went through Namhiya ruins and Badusko is still here. he arranges this place to be a military base for adventurers here.
war angels were stationed around to serve as guardians to those who entered without permission.
I introduced myself to him. but he was not surprised and this mercenaries they all bowed and said.
"Welcome back our hero."
they celebrated. even though the food supply is limited because the supply is came from far away and there are more monsters along the way.
my food left me immediately. I'm not in a hurry so my journey is also quite long ..
day 412 ...
I arrived in Norlangarthe ..
they welcomed me because they knew I was the hero Alicia avantika abhaya ..
many gifts greeted me. but I didn't bring any and I left it at the inn where I was staying then ..
Alisha and Erina were there. only Erina who is here knows my true identity ..
apart from the king of the Abhaya kingdom the other three servants .. other than that no one else knows.
I told erina to keep Alisha a secret about me first ..
he agreed before we went to the palace of Norlangarthe ..
I was greeted warmly by the king and said ..
"If you were only a man I would give my daughter's hand."
the second princess's face turned red ..
and the king requested that I bring the second princess to build a diplomatic relationship with the Abhaya kingdom ..
meaning the second princess will inherit the throne. and not the first princess.
day 415 ..
everything is ready for Abhaya kingdom ..
with me are Alisha, Erina, second princess Norabele. and 10 knights escort the princess.
on our journey the escorts were able to defend the carriage with their claims from the fighting.
I can say that not all human beings are weak.
we also traveled five days and four nights. whenever they slept I made my way to ahead of our route the next morning. I meant to leave only a few of the monsters so as not to be too noticeable.
that morning we saw the gate into human territory.
the guards here were surprised because the route we were on had been closed for a month due to the sheer number of monsters here.
but Princess Norabele explained that her escorts stopped the monsters so we could pass safely. they have raised the gate for us to pass through.
here I see the happy faces of adventurers and sellers of various kinds of items. potions and much more. this place is like a checkpoint of silence and behind it is full of danger and chaos ..
I was nervous as I saw the kingdom in the distance.
Just like the old days ..
what happened here is still fresh in my memory. when we arrived at abhaya kingdom we were immediately greeted by the people. Are they happy to see me?
written on banners.
"welcome back hero."
"we love you Alicia."
these are just a few of the things they carry. others I have not read because nothing is good.
we finally reached the palace as well.
the palace where I grew up.
the tower where I cried.
this hallway that I once hid when I was almost caught by the guards.
funny to think but I saw Lia, Jane, and Martha .. they opened the door to the throne.
martha looked at me but obviously avoided me.
don't they see me?
why I seem to have difficulty breathing.
don't you miss me at least?
but that is only me and no one knows.
I was greeted warmly by the king ..
he knows how to pretend.
and in the middle of our conversation the door to the throne suddenly opened ..
I was surprised who come out here ..
those looks I will never forget wherever I go.
its arms will never leave me .. its smiles make my heart smile.
we both ran and met in the middle hallway.
my mother cried because she misses me so much ..
She told me that the king had said that i was dead because he was afraid that people would find out the truth. that I grew up suddenly so he didn't know what to do so it was better to just say I was dead.
