"That was a great speech . "
Tofesh was laughing while Yale descended .
Since he knew the truth, he couldn't avoid laughing at how the whole universe had been fooled by his friend .
"It wasn't that impressive . . . "
Yale was depressed when he descended, which Tofesh found too strange .
At that moment, Yale was checking the system due to a notification obtained while speaking before .
[Minor Lie Divinity: Makes the lies said by the user easier to believe . ]
Yale never expected to obtain such a shameful Minor Divinity due to that speech .
He was so ashamed that he didn't feel proud at all by his previous speech .
In fact, he decided to never tell anyone about that Minor Divinity .
"Big brother, are you alright?"
Wyba heard from Tofesh that Yale was going to leave, so she had been waiting there from the start .
Of course, when she heard about it, she told that she was also going, but Tofesh managed to convince her that she must remain behind to take care of the country .
Wyba was just an eighth level immortal, and in case of danger, she didn't have Tofesh's life-saving methods .
Moreover, Wyba was Yale's weak point . If an enemy caught Wyba, and then she was used as a shield when battling against Yale, he wouldn't be able to battle properly .
"Yes, don't worry . I am perfectly fine . "
Usually, given Yale's face, no one would believe that he was perfectly fine like he said, but everyone believed it due to the Minor Lie Divinity .
"That is great . I can't go with you this time, but you must promise me to return here after you finish!"
Wyba forgot the previous topic and hugged Yale while speaking about her condition .
"I will come back after I finish, but I don't know how much time I will need . "
On that occasion, Yale was being honest with his words . He really wanted to finish and return as soon as possible, but he couldn't say how long it will take until he finished .
While Yale was speaking with Wyba, Clair walked shyly towards Tofesh .
"Have a safe trip . Don't worry about this country because I will protect it with my life . "
She spoke words that fitted her job, but her shyness made those words difficult to believe, although she was being serious .
"I prefer if you flee and survive than if you die . As long as you are alive, everything can be obtained back, but if your soul is destroyed, it will be your end . "
Tofesh felt that Clair's intentions were good, but those were too self-destructive . In case of danger, it was better if they fled through one of the portals of the palace .
The Otref Kingdom, the Weapon Spirit Tribe, and Tenir's castle were all connected to the palace, and those places were very well protected, so as long as they fled there, nothing bad would happen to them .
The city was also protected with a lot of spells, but since it was more stable than a separate dimension like Tenir's castle, the traps aren't that powerful, and the same applied to the Weapon Spirit Tribe .
The Otref Kingdom wasn't much better regarding defensive traps, but their army was more than enough to ensure their safety .
Of course, with someone considered a Great God as the king, Tofesh didn't believe that someone would be as foolish as to mess with Yale's Kingdom even if the king himself wasn't there .
"I know, but how can I flee? I don't want to be considered a coward . "
Tofesh sighed when he heard her reason .
"Listen . It is better to be a wise coward than a reckless fool . If there aren't any chances of victory, battling is foolish . A retreat in time is also considered a victory, don't forget that . Isn't your job protecting Wyba? The best way is fleeing with her to a safe place rather than dying in front of her and let her die just after you . "
He had met a lot of soldiers with mentalities that focused on dying on the battle rather than retreating if wining was impossible, and those soldiers never obtained any kind of responsibility because knowing to retreat was also very important .
If someone with that mentality could give orders, the whole army could get annihilated pointlessly .
Yale's Kingdom didn't have a real army, and even the royal guard was inexperienced compared to other countries, so Tofesh felt that he needed to change Clair's mentality as soon as possible, or there might be stupid deaths if someday there was any problem .
"Is that alright?"
Clair didn't want to die, but the weight of the responsibility of her job made her thought that it was her duty .
"Of course! Wyba will be very sad if you die, so you must survive together, alright?"
Clair nodded and smiled when she heard that . It was like if she lost a great weight that had been pressing her .
"It seems that those two already finished . Farewell!"
Tofesh patted Clair's head before walking towards Yale, who had finished bidding farewell to Wyba .
Yale and Tofesh flew up until Yale felt that creating the passageway wouldn't harm those under them .
"By the way, Tofesh . What is your relationship with Clair? You seem to care a lot about her . "
Tofesh didn't expect to be asked about that just before departing .
"She is cute, and I have been thinking that having a little sister like her would be great . I mean, you already have one, and I was wondering if it would be possible in my case . . . Do you think that she would accept to be my little sister?"
Yale started to laugh when he heard it .
"Without a doubt . She will accept without any doubt, but . . . I can also tell you that she would be very sad if you say that to her . "
He didn't expect that Tofesh, who always seemed to know everything, would fail to understand something like that .
"Why would she be sad if she accepts? If she didn't like it, she just would say no . "
Yale sighed when hearing that .
"Listen, my friend . I may not be the best person to say this, but you are too dense! She loves you, so she will accept anything that would let her be closer to you, but she didn't love you like a little sister loves a big brother . I don't know if she is conscious about it or not, but I can tell by her reactions, she loves you so much that she would become your wife even if you ask her to marry today . "
Tofesh didn't expect that he would be given a lecture about love by his friend who never understood it before . Of course, the time Tofesh was with Yale was long before the curse was dispelled, and Tofesh knew that after dispelling it, Yale married, so it wasn't like if Yale didn't know about the topic .
Compared with Yale, Tofesh really lacked experience .
"Moreover, I can tell by your reactions that you also love her, although just like a little sister . I bet that in your heart, you already thought about her as if she was part of your family . "
Yale could tell that by Tofesh, how reacted when Clair died in an undone timeline .
"Well, you are right that I already thought like that, but I never expected that she loves me in that way . . . "
Tofesh thought that Clair was cute, but he really could only consider her a little girl due to how she looked .
"Tofesh, you must clarify how do you feel to her before the misunderstanding grew bigger . Although she seems to be a little girl, that is just her looks, she is an adult woman . If you treat her with so much care, it is obvious that she would think that you love her . I doubt that she even thought for a second that it was family love or anything like that since you two aren't family or anything like that . "
Yale knew very well what was considering someone like just family with the other party really loving him from the time he was still under the effects of the curse .
Tofesh didn't know what to say at that moment because he discovered that everything Yale said was true .
He had always been sharp regarding the problems of others, but he discovered that he was really ignorant when he was involved .
"Go and clear the misunderstanding now . I will wait for you . "
Once Yale said those words, Tofesh smiled .
"No way . You will leave alone if I do that . "
Then, Yale laughed .
"You caught me, but everything I said is true, think about it for when we return . "
After speaking, he unsheathed Lar and started to cut the space in front of him . He already determined the first universe to visit the previous night .
All universes that had sensed the presence of Alrein's universe were on his list .
He made a total of ten cuts that crossed at the center point . Of course, each attack left a dimensional crack .
"Now, passageway open!"
The eleventh attack hit just on the point when all the dimensional cracks of the previous attacks crossed, which really created a hole connecting with another universe .
However, as Yale said, it wasn't stable, so if someone who couldn't survive outside dimensional walls entered there, that person would die .
Tofesh looked with shock at how easily Yale opened a passageway before being forced inside the Storage Space .
Then, Yale entered the unstable passageway .
