Chapter 8:

I can't believe I did that.

The Unusual Elf Girl


Upon closer inspection, Satoshi noticed that there were no real fighter here. They were just bandits who are most probably payed to do this. It was kind of surprising for the Kingdom of Aqua to underestimate the power of the teleportation ability.

"Be careful! He is the prince, Satoshi!"

Satoshi closed his eyes, while the bandits swarmed around him like bees trying to protect their nest from wasps. Everything around him became slow as he opened his eyes. Their movements and everything became predictable.

Thats how he feels when using his passive ability, super speed. Although, to anyone else, he seemed to be moving very fast. On the contrary, he feels that everyone is just slow. Its basically a form of time warp. But the problem is, he can't use it for long periods of time.

Satoshi noticed the presence of around 150-ish bandits in the ship, with some powerful ones too.

The bandits couldn't comprehend his speed. With the blink of an eye, twenty people were down. With the second blink, another twenty. If this goes on, then their forces would lose without a fight. These types of battles are easy for ability users. Thats why no people wants to mess with the members of the royal family or even their subordinates.

"As expected, using my powers like this diminishes my stamina pretty quickly.", he said.

But at that moment, he let his guard down. One of the bandits came into the point blank range, with a dagger in his hand. Prince Satoshi was not in a position where he could dodge or use his teleportation, but if he just takes the hit, then it will hit on a vital organ, which might end up killing him.

On the other hand, Miyu was there, standing with her eyes closed and her hands in her chest.

"Please don't die. Please don't die. Please don't die. Please don't die. Please don't die...."

What will Prince Satoshi do now? How can he dodge this attack? There seems to be not other option.

A sound emerged from the water, skilfully climbing and jumping on the ship, a mysterious person.

"Don't you dare touch Satoshi-sama!", the person said with a deadly voice, kicking the guy out unconscious. Wearing the same cloak as Miyu, with the same emblem. It was that same mysterious woman, that had paid Prince Satoshi a visit when they were arriving at the Kingdom of Fina.

"Satoshi-sama! Are you okay, Satoshi-sama?"

"Mei-san?! What are you doing here?"

"Helping Satoshi-sama? Am'nt Mei your spy?"

"Well, yes. But I didn't expect you to be here."

Mei was assigned by Satoshi to be his spy. She had a tanned skin, with an airhead personality. But she gets the job of spying done pretty good.

"Kingdom Aqua was suspicious, so Mei couldn't help but come. Mei also brought in Haruto with Mei."

"Eh?! Haruto too?"

"That was a flashy entry nonetheless.", Haruto said, coming from the other side of the ship. He had already finished off the rest of the bandits.

"Haruto, not fair. Mei also wanted to fight."

"Rest easy. They are not dead yet. You are the spy. They are yours. Torture them all you want and make them spill out the information."

"Roger that!"

"I will go grab the steering wheel real quick."

Haruto went and stopped the ship. Soon enough, the other battleships surrounded the ship. Miyu was waiting eagerly for his return. She just wanted him to be safe.

Her eyes were still closed, hoping that he would call her.

"I am safe.", she heard a voice. It was Satoshi's.

Looking up, she saw Satoshi running towards her. He was trying to go for another hug.

But then, he got something better. As he approached her to hug her again, she kissed him in the lips, while being flustered.

"... thank you for not dying on me.", she said, before hugging him tightly.

That was a sudden kiss. Satoshi's first kiss was stolen by Miyu. Satoshi, being flustered, covered up his lips with his hands, averting his gaze to some faraway point.

Haruto and Mei were looking at the romance between them from far behind. Interfering with them right now would not be the best choice right now.

As the bandits' battleship was on Fina's territory, they will handle the rest. That means they can now rest easy going home.

"Oh, Miyu. I forgot to mention her. She is Mei. My personal spy."

"Heyo!"

"Wait, weren't you the one that startled me on the ship before?", asked Miyu.

"Yepp. That me. Sorry for scaring you."

-chop-

Satoshi landed a chop on her forehead.

"Sotoshi, that hurts!"

"Now, what did you do?"

"Mei was just checking up on you!"

"But you didn't have to scare Miyu."

"Mei is sorry."

Everything seemed to get back to normal.

Satoshi in his personal room in the ship, was writing a letter to Yumi, that he was going to give to the guards there to convey it. While Miyu was standing right beside him, watching him write the letter. She was still embarrassed as to what she had done. But at least it was confirmed that their feelings were mutual.

"Miyu, could you please give this to the chief of the guards."

"Okay."

Miyu happily took it and went out, giving it to the chief there. After that, they would leave for the Kingdom of Fina, their homeland.

The fog soon cleared out, revealing the bright sun in front of them.

"Well whatever. I hope this is not a dream. I hope this is actually some kind of world transportation incident. This feels too good to be true, and I don't want it to end.", she thought.

"What are you doing, Miyu?", Satoshi said coming out of the room.

"Well, nothing. You need something?"

"I was bored."

"Mei is bored too!"

"Oh Mei, I forgot to tell you..."

He told Mei about Miyu being an elf.

"Well, thats no surprise. Mei knows it. Mei is a spy after all."

"Was my plan to keep it a secret that weak after all?"

"Well, yes. Yes it was."

"Prince, at this point, just give up keeping it a secret. In this world of abilities, keeping it a secret will be difficult."

"Not you too, Haruto."

As they were having fun on the ship, someone somewhere was plotting their next move...

"The battleship that you paid for had been defeated by Satoshi, the prince of Rudy."

"Well, that was to be expected. Its no wonder that they didn't stand a chance. And by the looks of it, I have guessed his power and what might take for me to defeat him."

That person gave off an evil laugh.

"Its checkmate, Prince Satoshi. You fell right into my trap. After all, I can't let you have such a strong creature... an elf. I wonder why it would come after such a long time."

It was a white haired man, sitting inside what happens to be a palace.

"I am coming for you...", he said to himself.

As they reached to the Kingdom of Rudy, the letter had also reached to Yumi, which mentioned the victory of Satoshi. Well, it was safe to say that she was a little proud of her brother.

As the ship went closer and closer to the port, hordes of people started to accumulate. They were eagerly waiting for them to come down.

"The prince has arrived!"

"They are still doing that?", asked Mei.

"I hope they stop."

The minister of the city of fish was there to welcome them, along with the inhabitants of the city.

As they went down, crowds formed around them,

"Are you in good health, Prince Satoshi?"

"Yes. I am."

"Mei is always good!"

"He didn't ask you, Idiot.", said Haruto.

"Well, Miyu, remember our promise?", said Satoshi.

"Huh?", she wondered.

"I promised you to give you a tour in the city of fish."

"Oh right! I almost forgot."

In the meantime, the minister of the city of fish came with Satoshi's and Haruto's horse, speed and Kuro. Speed was overjoyed to see them.

Miyu started patting speed, but it seemed that Kuro became kind of jealous and wanted some pats too. Well, she patted them equally. Elves are liked by the animals, after all.

After that, they went on a journey. As always, Miyu sat with Prince Satoshi, but this time, Mei sat with Haruto instead of Haruto sitting alone.

"Ey ey, lets go!", Mei said, raising her hands up in the air.

"Don't be so energetic."

Miyu giggled seeing their dynamic. They make up for a great duo.

There were an awful lot of animals in the city of fish. They were going through, when baby chicks caught her attention.

She went down the horse and towards them. Sitting down, she waited the chicks to come closer. Some of the chicks even felt comfortable and got up on her lap too.

"I know what the prince is thinking. Its like, I wish that chick was me.", said Haruto, mocking Satoshi.

"Well, Mei already saw Satoshi-sama sleeping on Miyu-sama's lap."

"Huh? The prince really got that far?"

"I was just sleepy."

"Well, looking back, sleeping on her lap might sound normal, seeing that they kissed-"

"Ahem. Were you saying something?", the prince said having an evil smile.

"N-nothing."

Meanwhile Miyu was playing with the baby chicks. She picked one of the chicks up.

"Woah! They are hot. Like... fever hot!"

"Well, baby chicks are always that hot. They are babies after all.", a child came to her and said. She was one of the inhabitants there.

"They always remain that hot? Are you sure the chicks didn't get a fever?"

"Well, no. Check the other chicks, they are hot too."

Out of curiosity, she started checking the other chicks too.

"Oh, you are right! All of them are hot!"

"I know right. At first, I was surprised at that fact too."

"Maybe they all had a fever?"

"Thats not it."

As she was playing with the chicks, some curious baby goats came to pay a visit at the new guest.

At first, they hesitated a bit. But they quickly realised that she was harmless. On of the goats quickly took the place on her lap before any other goats could take that position.

"Sorry. The goat is interfering with your travel."

"No no. That's not the reason."

"Are you interested in animals?"

"I am actually."

Well, Miyu seemed to have made a new friend in the city of fish. As it was getting late, Miyu hopped back on the horse.

"Are you satisfied? Should we head back to the palace?"

"Yep."

"I wish they have the hot bath running..."

"Mei wants to bathe too!"

After they came back to the Royal palace, they were welcomed by Hina-san.

"Ooh, Hinacchi! Long time no see!"

"Oh my, if it wasn't for Mei-sama!"

Mei went and hugged Hina-san. They were well aquatinted with each other.

"Ah, Satoshi-sama. The bath is ready."

"Thanks."

After their well deserved bath break, Miyu was welcomed by a pleasant surprise. As she and Mei went out of the bath, Hina-san was waiting for them.

"Miyu-sama. Satoshi-sama seemed to have given you a very pleasant gift. Please come with me."

"A gift? For me?"

"Yes. Please follow me."

Hina-san took Miyu to a new room, which she didn't recognise.

"From now on, you will be living here in this room of the royal palace."

"Eh?!"

She was surprised. She didn't expect such a gift from Satoshi. Well, Satoshi  had already planned about it before they went out on the journey.

As she opened the door, she was welcomed by the big room, which was now hers. There was a beautiful new bed, a table couches and everything else that should be in a royal Palace's room. She was also surprised by the fact that the wardrobes were filled to the brim with new clothes. As she walked over to the bed, she saw a cloak, resting in the middle. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the emblem that she drew was on the cloak now. She was amazed.

"Miyu-sama. Satoshi-sama also called you to go to the garden after."

"Thank you. I will be heading there right now."

Closing the door, she removed the old cloak and wore the new one. She stood in front of the mirror to see how she looks. The bright light from the windows reflected off of the emblem, giving it the spotlight.

"It's beautiful."

As she rushed to the gardens, she saw Prince Satoshi, Mei and Haruto, all waiting for her. Mei and Haruto were also wearing the new cloak. As she got down, Mei came from her behind and closed her eyes.

"Eh? Mei-san? I can't see."

"You don't have to see. Mei will lead you."

Led by Mei, she reached in front of Satoshi.

"Let out you hands, Miyu.", it was Satoshi's voice. Not knowing what was happening, she let put her hands.

Satoshi placed down something on her hands. It was a metallic, and it had a good curve...

As Mei let go of her eyes, she saw the beautiful white bow. She was overjoyed.

"This is for you. From today, you are me personal assistant and the archer under Prince Satoshi's command."

"As your wish, Prince Satoshi.", she said with a smile.

"Ne ne, Miyu-sama, how do Mei look in the new cloak? Do Mei look cute? Do Mei look mysterious?"

"Well, Mei-chan is always very mysterious.", she said.

"Mei-chan?", Mei's eyes glittered.

"Miyu-sama called Mei as Mei-chan!", she said, hugging Miyu.

"Is that really something to celebrate? You are overreacting.", said Haruto.

"Someone like you wont understand something like this."

"What did you say?"

"Now now, calm down."

"Prince, don't interfere."

"Are you ordering me?", he said with evil eyes.

Long story short, they both got hit on in the head.

The day passed by. Soon it became night. As they were tired, they were pretty sleepy. But Satoshi had some work to do. He head to write another letter to his sister that they had reached safely.

As he was writing the letter, a creak of the door could be heard. It was Miyu.

"At least knock before coming."

"Huh? Why? Are you trying to hide something? Are you cheating on me?", she pouted.

"What makes you think that I am cheating on you?"

"Well then. Prove it.", she said jokingly. But Satoshi was taking it seriously.

"Well, you asked for it."

Satoshi got up and reached to her.

"Eh!? Whats happening? I was just joking Satoshi..."

"Well, I can't back off now."

He put his hands on her cheeks. Her cheeks became burning hot, before he kissed her. Miyu, knowing his intentions, also didn't resist, she gave herself in to Satoshi.

"Now you happy?"

She nodded her head. She was happy, she giggled a bit, before hugging him one last time and going to her room.

As she got out of the room, Satoshi fell to his knees.

"... that was very bold of me... I can't believe I did that", Satoshi said to himself in embarrassment.

He couldn't sleep that day because of it.
