Chapter 18:

Anastasia von Titania

The Self Proclaimed "Famous" High School Detective & Her Assistant, Get's "Isekai"


"HEY YOU LITTLE SHITS!!" Haruno yelled at the top of her lungs from the top of the staircase, "HOW DARE YOU HURT MOTHER!! I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!" she declared.
 
Suddenly, a rock was thrown towards Haruno, and she caught it with her left hand, crushing it with her bare hands. The crowd quickly became frightened not at the fact that she crushed with her hands, but at the amount of mana that was amassing in her right hand from anger.

"OH??!!?! YOU LITTLE SHITS WANT TO THROW ROCKS, HUH?" Haruno yelled back, with the entire crowd going silent, "IF YOU WANT TO THROW ROCKS THAT BADLY, I'LL THROW ONE TOO," as Haruno punched the sword handle with her right hand, releasing the torrent of mana that had accumulated in her hand. 

The black boulder sat unfazed, with the crowd laughing as they began to throw rocks & fruits up towards Haruno & Emila. The black boulder suddenly began to tremble slightly, and cracks began to form all around it, with mana spewing out of it. 

"LAWRENCE, PUT AS MANY BARRIERS AROUND THE BOULDER NOW!!" Ana yelled, struggling to keep her eye open. "ALL OF YOU RUN!!!" as she warned the crowd who stood around laughing and giggling.

Lawrence & his guards began to encase the black boulder in dozens of thick barriers, with Ana adding a dozen barriers.

After the barrier was completed, the black boulder's crack began to widen, and the surface began to crumble, followed by a burst of mana spewing out from the center, sending out shards everywhere. The shard immediately tore through all the barriers placed by Ana, Lawrence & his guard, and struck the crowd of elves, the nearby buildings & stalls, destroying part of the fountain. 

As the dust settled, the entire plaza was destroyed, with multiple people injured, and the entire black blouder was missing, leaving a deep hole in its place. 

Ana looked around for Haruno & Emila, with Emila walking over to support Ana and take a look at her injuries. 

"Where is Haruno?" Ana asked, unable to find Haruno. 

"Over there," Emila pointed, towards a standing figure in front of the injured crowd. 

"AS YOUR NEW ELF QUEEN, ALL OF YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY EXECUTED!" Haruno declared, pointing the First King's sword at the injured Elves. "I REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU SO DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO RUN!" she warned, with the Elves trembling with fear, staring at the Holy Sword. 

"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!" Emila yelled, smacking Haruno on the head with her right hand while supporting Ana.  "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" 

"They were being disrespectful toward Mother, and I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I took it on the boulder instead," Haruno answered, kneeling on the ground, holding her head, and dropping the sword onto the ground.

"DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?" Emila yelled, pointing at the destroyed buildings, the broken fountain, and the injured people around. "THIS IS NOT THE PROPER WAY OF HANDLING THESE SITUATIONS!" 

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" A tall blond Elf appeared with a large number of guards, "DID YOU CAUSE THIS, YOU TRAITIOUS WOMEN!?!!?" he glared towards Ana, who was barely able to stand up, and out of breath from overusing her mana. 

"Lars, she didn't do anything," Lawrence stated, winded from overusing his mana, stood up, and began to lean on Lars, "There was a bit of disagreement, and things escalated." 

"You are always so protective of your Big Sister!" Lars exclaimed, pushing Lawerence back onto the ground, and approached Ana, "You are coming with me!" he yelled, walking fast with anger. 

"LIKE HELL YOU ARE!" Haruno yelled, picking up the sword off the ground and charging toward the guard. "IF YOU WANT TO ARREST MOTHER, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME FIRST!" she declared, standing in front of the Lars' way. 

Lars & Haruno locked eyes and began to charge at each other with the intent to kill. 

"STOP," an older blond-haired man commanded, followed by a loud clap. "EVERYONE, STAND DOWN!" he ordered with the crowd, guards, and Lawrence swiftly kneeling, with Haruno, Emila, and Ana still standing.

"Your Majesty, King Eldrin, what brings you here?" Lars asked. "This type of squabble doesn't require your involvement," he stated. 

"Unfortunately, you are wrong." King Eldrin answered,  There are two reasons why this involves me: the Holy Sword left behind by the First King has finally been drawn, and the sudden attack against the Royal Family, my daughter, Anastasia von Titania," he explained. "No matter what the public's opinion of her is, she is still part of the royal family and is much treated like one. Anyone who dares to bring harm to her is the equivalent of trying to attack me, so there will be proper punishment at a later time," he stated, with the Elves trembling. 

"Of course, not by death," King Eldrin assured, "Please treat all the injuries people and recover all the fragments from the Golem," he ordered Lars. "Lawrence, bring Anastasia and her guests back to the castle immediately and ensure they are treated properly. Do you hear me?" he ordered with an angry tone after seeing his daughter hurt severely. 

"Yes, Sir!" Lars & Lawrence answered, watching King Eldrin walk back into his carriage and return to the castle.

As requested by the King, Lawrence called for a carriage and began to help Ana inside with Emila & Haruno sitting beside her as they also headed to the castle. 

When they arrived at the castle, a medical team was waiting outside, ready to treat Ana with Emila following by side. 

"Haruno, follow me," Lawrence requested, looking at the Holy Sword on the side of her hip. 

*KNOCK* KNOCK*, "Father, may I come in?" Lawrence requested, with the large white door swinging open as maids opened it from the inside. 

Lawrence entered with Haruno following suit, as they walked into a long white marble dining room table with the King sitting at the head and an older blonde-haired elf sitting on his left-hand side. On the right-hand side, four elves were sitting in a row, very angry. 

"Let me introduce her to you all. This is Ha-" Lawrence attempted to introduce Haruno, but she immediately brushed past him and headed straight to the King. 

"My name is Haruno Sayaka," She introduced herself, without a single shred of mannerism, "Old man, explain to me why you didn't call for those Elves' execution after they attacked Mother?" 

"MOTHER?!?!?!?" the rest of the room exclaimed, with the tears falling from the King's & the old lady's eyes.  

"FATHER, MOTHER, PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HARUNO!" Ana quickly burst into the room, wearing only a medical gown, "IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO HER, THE FENRIRS WILL DESTROY THIS KINGD-?" She stopped halfway, seeing her father & mother crying. 

"Anastasia, you finally had kids," the old lady said as she walked over and embraced her. "When do we meet the father?" she asked. 

"Ummm........never?" Ana replied, "Haruno & Emila are not my children exactly..." she stated, before falling to the ground as her leg gave out. 

"MOTHER!!!" Emila exclaimed, running into the room, "YOU SHOULDN'T RUN OUT OF THE MEDICAL WARD SO QUICKLY!! YOU ARE GOING TO RIP YOUR STITCHES!!" she warned, seeing the odd atmosphere. 

"ANASTASIA! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" the old lady demanded, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT YOUR CHILDREN?!?!?" 

Lawrence quickly helped Ana into a chair and draped a green shawl over her body to keep her warm. 

Ana began to explain how Haruno & Emila are considered lost individuals and that she has been acting like their guardian in the meantime. The reason for them addressing her as Mother was partly due to Haruno Quirks, and it kind of stuck since. She also warns that the two have a close bond with the Fenrirs and are under their protection. 

"Who the hell believes that the legendary Fenrirs would care for two human girls?" one of the elves laughed, with the two others laughing alongside. 

"Why don't we test that theory?" Haruno suggested, sitting next to Ana. "I can always call Mio over and raze half this Kingdom down for a start. Or would you like it better if I asked Takane or Kobo to do it instead?" she asked, with a threatening tone. 

"Haruno, who are Takane & Kobo?" Ana asked, unable to recall those names before. 

"Takane is the Gryphon & Kobo is the Leviathan," Haruno replied, "I went to visit them a week ago and gave them those names as part of the second condition during the Cremonia incident."  

"GryphonLeviathan?" The Elves in the crowd remained silent after hearing those names. 

"So how about it?" Haruno asked again, "Should I call them over as proof?" before she got smacked by Emila again. 

"If you want proof, you can take a look at this," Emila stated, placing her hair band made of Mio's fur onto the table. "Also, you can look at this," she placed two small daggers, one made of the Takane's claws and the other with Kobo's scale

The Elves leaned in to look at the random equipment and immediately felt the overwhelming pressure of the Legendary Monsters mentioned emitting from them. Three of the elderly elves immediately had to be excused as they were afraid of upsetting Haruno anymore, while the other one remained.  

"I'm surprised you were allowed to keep the materials made from the legendary Monster," King Eldrin asked, "How did you even get them?" as he inspected the impressively made daggers. 

"I fought them and they kinda fell off?" Haruno answered, rubbing her head, "They were hard to fight as one kept flying around and the other one was in the middle of a lake," she complained. 

"YOU FOUGHT THOSE LEGENDARY MONSTERS ?" the old lady yelled. "You are gutsy," she complimented Haruno. 

"Umm....who are you?" Haruno asked, not recalling her name. 

"HAHAHAH, I'm sorry about that," the old lady apologized, "My name is Queen Lyariel," she introduced herself, "Feel free to call me Grandma," she suggested. 

"Don't forget about Grandpa," King Eldrin requested, smiling. 

"Ummm.....I'll consider it," Haruno answered, as she had to trust them first.

"Haruno, to answer your initial question, I cannnot excuate my people randomly," King Eldrin stated, "Of course, it pains me to see my daugther hurt, but as a King, I must put my personal emotion on the side during these events. You need to learn how to do that too if you are succeed me next," he stated. 

"FATHER! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?" Ana yelled, standing up, "HARUNO IS GOING TO BECOME KING?!?!"

"I mean, she possesses the Holy Sword left behind by the First King," King Eldrin stated, "By all rights, she is allowed to become King next if she wants to," he explained. 

"I don't want to be King," Haruno stated, throwing the sword onto the table, "I only picked it up after those people pissed me off." 

"I see....." King Eldrin muttered, "If you change your mind, you are always welcome." he smiled, attempting to pick up the sword off the table. "WHY IS IT SO HEAVY?!?!" he asked. 

"Huh?" Haruno asked, "Heavy?" as she picked up easily. 

"Haruno, can you try to hand it over to me?" King Eldrin requested, holding his hands out. 

Haruno placed the sword into his hands, with the sword phasing out of his hands and falling straight to the ground, cracking the ground. 

"I think you are going to have to be King?" King Eldrin suggested, "It looks like the Holy Sword chose you in the end?" 

"Eh?" Haruno muttered, followed by a loud, "NO FUCKING WAY!!!" followed by two smacks to her head from Ana &Queen Lyariel. 

"LANGUAGE, YOUNG LADY!!!"  Ana & Queen Lyariel scolded Haruno in unison.
