Starting Life In Another World

Arthur tells Emilia about the nature of hiraishin no jutsu and the reason why he chooses the entrance of the alley because if he appears in crowd place that will raise a problem.

"So you can come and go as you please to any place you marked before?"

"Yes, as long as I leave my mark, but if someone erases it or alter my mark then I can't use it again "

"But I can't see your mark, and if nobody can see it how can someone erased it?"

"Someone who is stronger than me, or someone with special ability can see my mark and erased it"

Arthur and Emilia talking along the way and didn't bother with how other people look at them, they just wandering aimlessly and go wherever they want, amusement park, historical places, market, etc.

"I think you're pretty strong already "

"I feel happy if you feel like that, but I must admit it there is a lot of people who are stronger than me. Well at least for now"

"For now? Then you can still get stronger? But I didn't see you're training since yesterday "

"Well, how am I get stronger is a bit different, you can say it as divine protection? I not this strong from the start, hiraishin no jutsu is the first ability I have and then I get ice element and lightning element"

"So, in other words, you also didn't know when you will get the new ability?"

puck who appear out of nowhere is joining the conversation

"You can say it like that"

"When the last time you get the new ability?"

"When we are in dragon carriage after Emi hire me I got two ability, the sword petals I use before is senbonzakura and how I can control it because of my other ability telekinesis"

"I need a lot of time to practice before I can reach my current power but it looks like you didn't need to do it, Arthur?"

"Of course I need to practice Emi but you never see it so you think like that, if you didn't mind it can you tell me what makes you want to participate in this election?"

Emilia feel silent and turn down her head, her face expression is hidden behind her beautiful hair, feel awkward Arthur can't help but abandon his curiosity

"If you think it's hard to explain you didn't need to answer"

"No... it's not like that... I just afraid.."

"What makes you afraid?"

"No, nothing. At first, I want to help my people in my hometown so I participate in this election but after I come to the capital... I want to make a kingdom where all of the citizens are treated fairly and no discrimination happens in this kingdom"

"That's a very wonderful idea"

Arthur nod his head as if he agrees with her goal

'But that's very childish and naive... there's nothing like fairness in this world... people born with different family and different situations and that lead to the difference in social status, wealth and achievement if there no difference than people will not try harder to get more and every field will become stagnant... I hope her goal it's not just wishful thinking like that'

'Also system do you have something like a talisman in xianxia novel where you brick it you can notify other people or summon an avatar of other people?'

^searching... this is the following item that has a function that host need^

Arthur scrolling menu but for a cheap item that's just for one time use

'Give me this ring'

^Ring of Aegis (Prototype): this ring is a Prototype that created with the hope have the ability to erect the strongest barrier that can prevent any harm befall to the holder. But this ring is just a Prototype so the barrier just can defend one time because this will be exhausting all of the mana that stores into the ring before. (Note: have unlimited mana storage, inserting mana every day is recommended. The more mana in the ring the stronger attack that barrier can deal with)

This ring can be used for communication but this feature will consume mana from mana storage so long conversation is not recommended and just can be heard by the ring that paired with it.

'i think it's better if I charge it before giving it to Emilia '

"It's time to get home, I need to study politics. I'm very happy Arthur "

"As long as you're happy then that's good "

Arthur held Emilia's hand and... they disappear from the capital.

➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️

In Roswaal mansion Ram and Rem are doing their job and they look like didn't try to search for Emilia, maybe she knows what Arthur thinking Emilia let out a small laugh and said

"I already tell them you will take me out so they didn't need to search me"

"How thoughtful you're... but you didn't think I will just prank you?"

"You have a plan to deceive me?"

"Of course not"

"Then that's why I believe in you"

And Emilia walk away leaving Arthur alone in the gazebo standing in there watching her back

"You believe too much in me... if you put too much hope in someone it will be very painful when it gets betrayed and it will be very hard to heal the wound that it leaves"

"Like you?"

"Maybe, can you just leave me alone puck?"

"I didn't feel sure if my decision to accept you as Lia knight is right or wrong"

"At least I strong enough to protect her"

"Well that's right too"

'But the two of you have a deep wound, maybe just time that can prove my decision today is right or wrong'

Puck left and following Emilia to the mansion and Arthur who alone in the gazebo vanish and reappear in front one of room in the mansion.

"If not this than the other one"

When Arthur open the room he can see the forbidden library there and Beatrice in her place like usual

"How you can find this room, I suppose "

"Well that's company secrets, I come here to search for information"

"Than just search it and don't bother Beti, I suppose"

"Well that will take a long of time so I think asking you is more reasonable than searching it myself"

"Why must Beti help you, I suppose "

"Beatrice, what do you know about the witch of envy Satela?"

"I don't know that witch other than what stated in the book, I suppose "

"Then tell me about it"

"Why I need to tell you something you already know, I suppose "

"I ask because I don't know "

"That must be a lie if you never heard about that witch in this world, I suppose "

"If I said I come outside of the great waterfall, will you believe me?"

"You didn't seem like lied to Beti, so Beti will tell you about the witch..."

Expression of Beatrice does not seem like she makes fun of him and looks serious

"The Witch of Envy, 'Satella.' She consumed the great sinners of yore known as the Six Witches, swallowing up half the world in the process, the vilest of all calamities."

Beatrice's words, spoken with emotions suppressed.

"It is said that the witch dėsɨrės love. It is said she does not comprehend human speech. It is said she envies everything in this world. It is said none have seen her face and lived. It is said her body is untouched by the ravages of time, unable to grow old or decay. It is said the Dragon, the Hero, and the Sage combined their power to seal her away because even they could not hope to destroy her."

Beatrice spoke point by point, not allowing Arthur to get a word in.

"It is said…"

Finally, as if reaching the end of her tale, she paused after her preamble and said,

"…she is a half-elf with silver hair."

—Satella, the Witch of Envy.

The Six Witches had made the world scream, but this witch wiped them out in one fell swoop, ushering in a calamity that destroyed half the world.

A hero had sealed her flesh within a crystal, where she continued to sleep, even then, in some corner of the world.

He already knows this story from anime but heard it and live with it is have different sensations, He didn't know how strong the dragon or the sage or even the hero but if three strongest being in this world combined their power and still can't destroy her and their only option is sealed her than that is a real proof how strong the witch of envy is.

"So I still need to get stronger if I want to be a good knight, right..."

"Do you seriously want to become that half-baked little girl knight, I suppose?"

"I never take back what I said already so I will honor my promise, but with how strong the witch of envy is and how it's said she look like Emilia I think ... I'm still too weak"

"So you realize you are weak as an insect, I suppose?"

"Well that's explanations from the history book, but what about your opinion?"

"Why Beti need to tell you, I wonder"

Beatrice looks like will refuse to answer more than this so he leaves it at that.

"Well thank you for answering me. Also, it will be better if you come to eat with all of us"

"Why Beti must waste her time to eat with all of you, I suppose "

"At least there is puck when you join breakfast so you can it together or feed him"

"..... I will consider it, I suppose "

"Than that's good, goodnight Beatrice."

Arthur leaves without waiting for Beatrice to answer because he knows with her personality she will not answer him.
