Hello again, my dear readers!

I am so sorry for a somewhat late update. I said in the last chapter that I would update every day or every other day. But I am in my last weeks of this term at school, so we have so many tests and presentation that I think I'm starting to go crazy. And in the middle of all this, me and my family are moving from a three-story house to an apartment. So there have been absolutely no time to write over these past few days.

I will try to write as much as possible, but there will probably be several days between each update.

And lastly: Thanks for all amazing support I have gotten form everyone. You are all amazing!

Let's start the story! I know you all are waiting in excitement, so here it is:


Chapter 7

Something is Wrong

When Yuri saw Murata he instantly knew something was wrong. The Great Sage was worried, almost scared. Murata was never scared!

When Murata came closer to the table he suddenly stopped. He was not expecting his class to be seated there.

"Eh, Shibuya? What is happening here?"

"Well, baka, can't you see? I'm trying to explain this whole thing to our class. We were actually just talking about you."

"Murata-kun! You're alright!" Midori exclaimed exited.

"Well, of course I'm alright. This is my home after all. I have been here far longer than anyone still alive." Murata was very careful to say still alive.

Now it was time for Fujimoto to ask a question. "What do you mean by that, mister Murata?"

"Well, haven't Shibuya told you?"

"No, not yet. I was going to tell them, but I didn't get the chance before you came running here. Why don't you tell them yourself?"

Murata pushed his glasses up on his nose.

"Fine. Here in this world I am known as the Great Sage. I am the reincarnation of the Daikenja, a man who were an advisor and a friend of the Original King, Shinou. As I have reincarnated through the past 4,000 years I still remember every life I have lived. Does that answer your question, Fujimoto-sama?"

"You're far too humble, my friend. You weren't just a friend, you were my only friend, Daikenja." Shinou had appeared on the Great Sage's shoulder.

Murata took to fixing his glasses once again. He also shook his head before he answered.

"What have I told you about appearing on my shoulder?"

"Well, where else should I be? And also, I needed to get your attention. Or rather, King Yuri's."

"What is it, Shinou?" Yuri asked. His curiosity was awakened. Shinou almost never left the temple. This must be something important!

"I do believe that is a matter that should be discussed in private." And with that, Shinou disappeared from Murata's shoulder.

Yuri looked over at his classmates. He had completely forgot about them for a moment. They all looked quite shocked. Well, they had just seen a "ghost".

"Okay, everyone. That was Shinou, the original king of this country. He is no longer alive, but because of his great powers he is able to stay in this world."

His classmates did not seem relaxed with that explanation. Some were still shocked and some even seemed scared.

"Günter. Gisela. Please show our guests to their rooms. They be staying here until we can get them back to their world. We will see each other again for dinner. If you have any questions, I will answer them then.

Wolfram, Conrad and Gwendal. Please come with me. We have matters to attend to."

And with that, Yuri left.


Tokaku sat on the only bed in the room she shared with Haru. "We are currently reconstruction our guest-wing, so I am afraid the most of you will have to share rooms" had the man in white, Günter, said to them as he lead them down the hallways. Yuri had left with Murata and some other people to discuss something. She could still not believe that Yuri, a boy she had known since first grade, was the king in a different world. And he was married, with a boy even.

He said that gender does not matter, as long as there is love. Tokaku glanced over at the bathroom in the end of the room. Haru was in there right now, getting herself cleaned up before dinner. Not long after they arrived at the room, a maid had come by with some new clothes. Two dresses. What else was there to expect in a kingdom that was so much alike Earth in medieval times. Tokaku had already dressed. She was wearing a deep-blue and silver dress that matched her raven-black hair perfectly. The cut was elegant and fitting for a dinner. She truly felt like she was going to a ball, not a dinner. But still, it was a dinner with a king.

"So, what do you think?" Haru had emerged from the bathroom. She wore a bright red dress with golden embroidery. Her red hair had been tied up in a golden ribbon. She stood tall and seemed worthy of such a dress. She looks like a princess Tokaku thought. She rose from her seat on the bed.

"You look wonderful, Haru. That dress suits you very well." she said, not once taking her eyes of her best friend.

"Thank you so much, Tokaku! You look lovely yourself!" Haru answered her friend.

Tokaku could not help but to feel a warmth in her heart as Haru gave her a compliment. Although she knew what she truly felt for her best friend, she had not dared to say a word about it to anyone. It had been two years since she first realized that she had fallen in love with Haru. They had been best friends for years and they had always cared for each other, but Tokaku knew she wanted to be more than friend with the beautiful girl in front of her. But she also knew that she would never have the courage to tell Haru about her true feelings.


"Another attack, you say?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Beating Heart attacked our borders once again. But they where few and easily outnumbered and defeated."

They had all gathered in Yuri's study. Yuri sat behind his desk with Wolfram on his right. Conrad sat at his left with Gwendal besides him. Murata was standing at the end of the table.

"How many times must I say this, Conrad? Call me Yuri! You are my godfather, after all!"

"Yes, Yuri." Conrad answered with a smile.

"Anyway. So the Beating Heart is on the move once again. It has been months since we last heard anything about them. Why act now?"

"That is my question to answer, Shibuya. Or rather Shinou, but since he does not want to come here himself, I have to be the one to explain."

"Well, then. Tell me, Murata"

"The attack on our borders was just an distraction. Their true target laid far away for the place they attacked. As our forces were busy defeating the attacking force, a small group snuck over our borer to a temple laying here."

Murata showed them a map over Shin Makoku. He was pointing towards outer border of the Christ territory. The red dot representing the attack was on the other side or the territory.

"Here they stole something I thought was long gone. Another relic from my past, you might say."

"Yes, Sage. What did they take?" asked Gwendal, clearly not pleased with this news.

"A device I made once I was reincarnated as a demon on Earth. A device that makes it possibly to travel between our two worlds."
