It has been weeks since I last breathe in the air of Shin Makoku. Surely, I know that I will be skinned alive the moment I found myself in the temple. I have no valid excuse for myself this time round. I just hope that the ten nobles would not question me especially in the round table. As much as I would want to stay in Shin Makoku forever, I know that it can never be possible. Earth is where I was born, raise and definitely where my family are. I could never just abandon them just like that.
If I could sum up how my life in one word right now, it would most likely be chaotic. High School is not all just fun and games. I was dumb to actually believe what Shori had said. It did not help that I was scouted to play for the nationals just a month ago. What rotten luck. Back then when I was not crowned as the Maou, I would gladly play for the national. But today, I barely have the time and energy to visit Shin Makoku. I often ask myself, why life is often complicated? Then again, what choice do I have? Quit school and everything else and focus on being the Maou?
It has been weeks since I have last step on Shin Makoku's land. I wonder how much time has passed since then? I guess, there is one way to find out.
I hasten my pace to the bathroom. As I walk from my room to the first floor, all that I could ever think of was Conrart. In a way, I have found myself quite fond of Conrart despite the fact that I am engaged to Wolfram. Let's face it, would you want to stay near someone who often call you insults and always belittle you? At times, I honestly had enough of his actions. Unlike that selfish loafer, I can always count on Conrart no matter the situation and added bonus, I would always train with him regarding what ever it is, including baseball.
Soon, I found myself in front of the bathroom door staring at the bathtub, as though waiting for the water vortex to welcome me back to Shin Makoku.
"Wait for me Shibuya!"
The familiar voice almost caught me off guard which almost resulted in me going ahead to Shin Makoku.
What do you think? R&R! Thank you!
