Chapter 17

A quiet night lingers throughout and in the castle, soldiers doing their duty scouting the area and some maids doing their final chores for the day.

All the people who are awake are the only ones that still have duties to attend to, except for one.

[Deloria] “I can’t believe something so troubling happen to Sir Asher while I wasn’t beside him. Even though I’m supposed to be his personal attendant, what a failure I am…”

The young Royal Attendant walk out of her room and into the veranda, as she slowly leans to a corner, she looks one floor up where her master’s room is located.

[Deloria] “I wonder if Sir Asher is already asleep.”

Due to the danger that just happened at the city, Deloria felt bad for not being useful to Asher in his time of need and even got him hurt.

Within her, the urge to go up to his room and ask for forgiveness is swelling up inside her. But seeing the moons up in the night sky, she knows well that it would be rude to go to his room.

[Deloira] “(Sigh) What am I thinking, I can’t go up there and disturb him. He might be already asleep by this time…and most of all…”

Though Deloria is a very loyal attendant who is very well known for her devotion to the crown, she is still a woman in her prime.

Going to a man’s room at night is something she has never done before.

[Deloria] (If I go to his room now, someone might see me and a misunderstanding might occur, spreading not only in the castle but also the whole city.) “Sigh…”

(Crack)

[Deloria] “Hmm?”

At the end of her sigh, she took notice of a sound coming from Asher’s room, she looks up and takes a few steps closer, but suddenly…

(BOOM!!)

[Deloria] “Khuu!”

An explosion of wind and light destroys blows out of Asher’s room, and Deloria who is just below Asher’s room got blown away and hit her back on the veranda’s corner.

She then stood up and looks at Asher’s room.

With the wind continue to blow, the dust quickly disappears and Deloria sees a big gaping hole, showing the destroyed interior of Asher’s room.

But something came out flying that took Deloria’s eyes away from the destroyed room.

[Asher] “Whoa, that almost hit me.”

Though he said that, Asher is still calm and did a back flip while still on the air and gently lands on the garden’s grass.

[Asher] “So there’s magic like that to, huh? The more you learn…”

[Deloria] “Sir Asher, are you alright!?”

[Asher] “Oh hey Deloria, that was some explosion, huh!?”

Even though Asher was just attacked, he gave Deloria the usual Family Grin and waves to her.

[Asher] “You’re not hurt are you!?”

[Deloria] “Please Sir; this isn’t the time to worry about me!”

[Asher] “Don’t worry, I dodged every attack they shoot out at me, I just jumped out so they won’t make a mess of my room any more than they have!”

[Deloria] “Alright, I’ll be right there Sir, just hold on!”

But just as soon as Deloria heads to the stairs, two other figures jumps out and slowly descends down by whirling gust of wind made from magic.

[Hail] “Sister, this man was able to avoid our attacks with ease again.”

[Gail] “Yes Sister, this man is quite different from our old targets. We need to get serious.”

[Hail] “Agreed Sister.”

With the two assassins landing at the ground, Hail and Gail readies themselves to confront Asher by whispering their chants.

But for Asher…

[Asher] “I was kind of bummed out because I thought I need to wait to try my magic out, but since you girls came over, I guess I’ll be able to do a little test run.”

Before they even get to the middle of their chants, Asher is already running towards them.

Normally a mage would panic if the attacker charges in, but the twins kept their calm and ran both left and right while continuing their chants.

[Asher] “Damn, who should I chase? Umm…left it is.”

Deciding to chase after Hail, Gail stops and aims towards Asher’s back.

On Gail’s palms, a ball of powerful wind pressure starts to accumulate, and from behind the wind made ball is a spiral of wind, making it look like a spring.

But even though Asher was chasing after Hail, he still kept his eyes on Gail. And when he saw Gail aiming at him, he quickly tries something with his new found power.

The blue Mana that is gushing out of his back starts to change it color from blue to bright orange. Turing it into spewing flames.

The Mana then stops flapping like a long scarf and straitened itself, it then made a strong sound while the dirt behind him made clouds.

Getting the feeling of being pushed from behind, Asher kicks the ground, rushing towards Gail.

[Asher] (Ha! It worked, it actually worked…huh?) “Eh!?”

But his excitement quickly wore of due to not being able to release the right amount of Mana.

The flame coming out of his back was too powerful making him fly towards Gail instead of dashing to her.

[Gail] “Huh!? No—wait, what are you—kyaaa!”

With Asher’s sudden speed, Gail panicked and wasn’t able to finish the final chant making the ball of wind fade.

[Asher] “Oof~”

[Gail] “Mmph~”

Since the booster behind Asher wasn’t stopping the two crashes onto one another and the position they are in right now is like how a mother carries her child from the front.

But it’s clear to anyone who sees this is that there is no mother to child atmosphere around them.

[Asher] “D—damn it, I never would have thought the thrust would be this powerful.”

[Gail] “Wha—what are you planning on thrusting into me!?”

[Asher] “Huh?”

[Gail] “Your planning to thrust into m—Ahnn~”

[Asher] “Wha!?”

With the erotic sound that came out of Gail’s mouth, which is only an inch away from Asher’s ear, made him stop thinking for a second.

With the Mana made booster on his back, he continues to fly forward without any intention of stopping before they hit the castle wall.

[Asher] “Crap!”

To avoid hitting the stone wall, Asher quickly raises his left leg and is about to kick the wall. But little did he know, as soon as Asher raised his leg, his lap hits Gail’s crotch.

[Gail] “Hyaann!”

This made her moan even louder than before and made her flushed red face even redder.

At first, Asher thought that if he might be able to stop once he steps on the wall, but the force was too much and made him start running on the wall.

[Gail] “Hyaa~ Ahhnn~ Nnnnh~”

But whenever he uses his left leg to run, it always hits Gail’s crotch. So in every left step he makes, the voice of a young woman’s moan could be heard.

[Hail] Wha—what are you doing to my sister!?”

With Hails loud voice, Asher notices that she already has a spell ready. On her hands is a whip made out of electricity.

But what Asher notice after, is Hail’s voice is stuttering while having her face blushed in deep red.

Due to panicking, Hail swings her whip uncontrollably causing the bushes and trees to get destroyed.

But surprisingly, Asher kept dodging the upcoming whip while jumping from wall to wall. But as he continues to dodge every attack, one swing of the whip fell in front of him.

Asher then kicks to the side and making him run towards Hail.

[Asher] “L—look out!”

[Hail] “Huh!? Wait! Wha—why are you…”

And just like her sister Gail, Hail is now being carried in a similar fashion, along with her most private being touched by Asher’s leg.

[Hail] “A—ahnn~ wha—what do you think you’re do—ahhnn~”

[Asher] “Eh!? You too!?”

Asher continues to figure out on how to stop the flames on his back, Deloria eventually makes it to them.

[Deloria] “Sir, I am here! Please step back as I—“

[Hail & Gale] ““AAAAHHHHNNNNNnnnnn!””

[Deloria] “As I…”

Deloria has no words to explain this, not once have she ever seen such a scene nor does anyone is this world or the other world.

All that could be said is that there was a lot of Moaning on that very night.

A few Hours passed and the twins are now tied up and also put inside a cell.

As for the cell next to them…

[Asher] “Why am I also inside a cell?”

[Diana] “Quiet Sexual Harasser, you will be personally interrogated by me, Inspector Diana, CSI!”

[Asher] “Like hell you are, you’re just an Office lady!”

[Deloria] “L—lady Diana, please don’t do anything rash to Sir Asher.”

[Diana] “Don’t worry Del, I’m only going to see if he is innocent or not.”

While the Mother and Son combo has their own Professional interrogation, along with Deloria who was worried for Asher, Aloway and a few Guards enter the Cell of the twin Night Elves.

In truth, the king, Alfern himself wanted to do the interrogation, but due to safety reasons, he can only wait for his daughter’s report.

[Aloway] “First, let me have your names.”

[Hail] “………This one’s name is Gale.”

[Gail] “………This one’s names is Hail.”

[Aloway] “I see, now then… how were you able to enter the castle walls?”

[Hail] “We sisters got in when the Giants Wasps attacked the city.”

[Gale] “Since the Guard are mostly at the city, the defense of the walls lessened.”

[Aloway] (So mother was right, not only was the Giant wasp attack elaborated, but it was also used as a decoy for these assassins to enter.)

After thinking that, Aloway cleared his throat with a small cough and once again asks the Twins.

[Aloway] “This will be the last question for now. Can you tell us who hired you to do this?”

Hearing Aloway’s question, the two face at each other with a troubled look.

[Hail] “Actually, we didn’t get to ask of even see his face, right Gale?”

[Gale] “That’s right Hail; we got the pay upfront, so we didn’t go any further than the name of our target.”

[Aloway] “………………………Are you telling the truth?”

[Gale] “We are, we don’t know anything else other than the name of our target.”

[Hail] “We are telling you the truth, we don’t know anything else, we’re innocent.”

[Aloway] “Innocent?”

The air in that specific cell grew heavy in an instant. Aloway’s hair starts to flow into the air and small yellow sparks appeared around her, making cracking sounds.

[Aloway] “You two, Innocent you say?”

[Hail/Gale] “Hiiiiiii!”

Aloway then look down on them with a cold look, strong enough to even affect not only the Twin assassins but also the guards around her.

[Aloway] “You two tried to hurt my Little Brother and you dare call yourself Innocent?”

[Hail/Gale] ““We—we’re sorry!””

Seeing this reaction from the rarely displeased Aloway reminded all the people in the Cell that angering Djinn is one of the few things in this world that should be angered.

After a few minutes of small sparks crackling into the air, Aloway snaps back and dispelled her anger.

[Aloway] “Sigh~ That’s all my questions for now. Guards, please keep an eye on these two and put another two more guards at the entrance.”

[Guard] “Yes your highness!”

After saying such, she turns around and walks away from the Cell.

[Aloway] “Oh right, Mother is still…”

Just when she was about to walk towards the entrance, she remembers that Diana is supposedly interrogating his younger brother for his misconduct.

[Aloway] “Mother, Asher, Deloria, I’m done talking to them, so let’s—”

[Diana] “I’m sorry; I wasn’t thinking straight, whaaa~”

[Asher] “Do you seriously think I’ll bit that excuse?”

[Diana] “But—but I was tempted, once I saw it, I—I just couldn’t help myself! My hands, my hands they just…*Sniff* Whaaaa~”

[Aloway] “Wha—what’s going on?”

[Asher] “Ah~ so you’re here…”

[Aloway] “Huh? Umm…yes, I am…”

[Asher] “This person is the culprit, cuff her.”

[Aloway] “Huh?”

[Diana] “No wait, I—I swear that I didn’t mean to, I was just tempted, I didn’t mean to eat Ifca’s Leche Flan!”

[Asher] “Looks like I solved another case. Let’s go Assistant Inspector Deloria, our job here is done.”

[Deloria] “Eh? Oh, umm…y—yeah, right behind you Sir.”

After leaving a few words, Asher turns around walks towards the Dungeon Cell’s exit in a slight dramatic way.

Delorai followed him while looking back a few times.

And as for Diana, she is kneeling down on the ground while covering her face with her hands, hiding her small tears and shame.

[Aloway] “What happened?”

The princess wasn’t the only who was confused to see what happened, even the guards who peeked out of curiosity have nothing but questions in their heads.

The Morning breeze blew throughout the kingdom and a young male Djinn is now doing some handstand pushups in the soldier’s training ground.

[Asher] “48…gnnn…49……nnnnnnggg….50!”

Shouting the final count, he pushes the ground and lands softly.

[Asher] “Phew~ nothing like a good warm up to start the morning.”

While looking up into the air, he inhales while bending his back and then held the position and air inside him for a few minutes and then straightens his body and breaths out all the air in his lungs.

But then, as soon as she breaths in some new air, he sighs tiringly.

[Asher] “Man, so much happened yesterday…that Noble’s rude attitude, the giant wasps’ attack and finally twins assassins attacking me…*Sigh* What a day that was…”

[Deloria] “S—sir Asher”

[Asher] “Hmm? Oh hey Deloria, morning.”

[Deloria] “Yes, Good Morning Sir.”

After greeting each other, Asher did a Punching Stance and starts to punch into the air, but while he is doing so, he takes a small glimpse on his right and finds Deloria standing in silence, watching him.

[Asher] “Umm…”

[Deloria] “Yes?”

[Asher] “N-no, it’s nothing…” (This is pretty awkward.)

Though it wasn’t at all unpleasant, Asher still felt Deloria’s eyes piercing behind him.

As for the reason for Deloria’s action is because of what happened last night.

Though neither Asher nor does anyone else blames her, Deloria believes that endangering the man she serves was her fault.

[Deloria] (We still have no idea who hired those assassins; I must stay close to Sir Asher to keep him safe.)

As he continues to punch into the air, he thought of an idea to stop Deloria’s piercing glare.

[Asher] “Hey Deloria, do you want to join me?”

[Deloria] “Hmm, you want me to join you Sir?”

[Asher] “Yeah, it’ll be fun, just follow what I do.”

[Deloria] “Th—then, if you’ll excuse me…”

[Asher] “Like I said, just do what I do…Alright, first is…a Right Straight!”

*FOOOOOMM!!!*

[Deloria] “Right Straight…Humph…”

*……………*

[Deloria] “Huh?”

Right after doing a punch, Deloria shows a confused look and then stares at her right hand, as if there was something wrong.

And of course Asher, who is just standing beside her, notices expression.

[Asher] “What’s wrong, did you pull a muscle?”

[Deloria] “No, it’s just that…when I punched into the air, it didn’t do that big FOOOOMMM~ sound like yours did.”

To answer Asher’s question, Deloria repeats her punch, but when her explanation got to the sound, she did a child-like impression.

And from seeing that…

[Asher] ‘I—I see…” (That impression she just did was kind of cute.)

[Deloria] “I did a punch and yet the result is different.”

[Asher] “Hmm……can I see you do another punch?”

[Deloria] “Yes…Hmmph…how is it?”

[Asher] “Hold that pose…let’s see…hmmm…”

[Diana] “It’s because she’s clenching her fist to hard.”

[Asher] “Ah, mom.”

While Asher looks for Deloria’s problem, Diana comes out from the castle’s entrance wearing her cycling clothes and her hair tied into a pony tail.

[Deloria] ‘”M—my fist?”

To Deloria’s question, Diana simply nods while walking closer to us.

And when she got close enough, Diana held on to Deloria’s clenched fist and starts to explain.

[Diana] “When you punch, you shouldn’t clench your fist, just lightly close them. You see when you do clench them, the muscle in you forearm while slow down impact of you punch. But when you relax your fist before punching…”

*FOOOOOOMM!*

[Diana] “The speed will increase.”

[Deloria] “I see…Right Punch.”

*FMmmmm~*

[Deloria] “So weak…”

[Diana] “Well, Asher and I have been doing this for years; it takes time so…hmm…Time, huh.”

After pondering for a few minutes, Diana sticks out her hand towards Deloria and said…

[Diana] “Deloria, how’d you like to be my 3rd student?”

Once again, the family Grin shows itself once more.
