Three days gone like that. Reinhard and Kyoko's relationship becomes more closer despite having small arguments where Kyoko forces him to sleep beside her every night.
Of course, if Reinhard refused, she would intrude in his room in the middle of the night. At this point, Reinhard thinks his mistress is someone very openly, even though he needs to accept that he is Kyoko's body pillow.
Thanks to his observations, he knows that Kyoko isn't a morning person. Her brain can't function properly when she wakes up, and she remains sleepy and drowsy until it's 8 AM.
Without realizing it, Kyoko was already in her seat in the dining room. She doesn't remember what happened in the morning, but since breakfast was already in front of her, she forgot everything and enjoyed her meal.
After breakfast, Reinhard teaches Kyoko about Lugunica's language. They all talk in Japanese but don't use kanji. Kyoko still has a hard time remembering all the Lugunica's alphabet. Thanks to Reinhard's good teaching, she managed to remember and understand half of the alphabet.
"Young master."
Suddenly, an older maid with greyish hair appeared in front of the door of the library. That's Carol Fauzen, one of the oldest servants who served Astrea's House. She's a kind woman despite being strict, which Kyoko preferred to avoid because of her lack of communication.
"... He's here."
Reinhard's eyes hardened. His expression changed instantly from happiness teacher to annoyed----maybe furious. His hand was placed on Kyoko's left shoulder softly as if he wanted Kyoko to relax.
"My apologies, milady. Please read the books that you prefer in this library. I have something urgent to do, and I would really appreciate it if you stay in this library for a while."
His voice is gentle yet firm. He doesn't want Kyoko to know what is happening outside. Because of that, the girl only nodded her head.
"Sure. Do what you want. I will be waiting for you."
Reinhard smiled, "Thanks, Milady. I will take my leave now."
Bowing politely, the Sword Saint left Kyoko behind in the Library alone, with Carol on his beside. The door shut down, and Kyoko immediately got up from her seat. She roamed around the bookshelves, finding interesting books to read to fill her free time.
Her finger touching the most basic fairytale book in this library. Why did she choose that kind of genre instead of going to a history book? That's because Kyoko doesn't want to blow her brain with the history lesson. Enough with Reinhard's babble; she would rather take this chance to make sure her brain getss enough rest.
As she opened the book, she found the most bland drawings yet interesting choices to make the reader read it. The story is set about 400 years ago when the Witch of Envy goes on a rampage, flattening, salting, and scorching half of the world.
"Witch of Envy? So this world has a witch?"
Eventually, a group of heroes, not wishing to see the world end, took up the cause to end Satella's reign of destruction once and for all. The heroes, who may or may not have been exclusively Lugunican but ended up associated with the Kingdom anyway, were the Sage, the first Sword Saint, and the Divine Dragon. Those heroes defeated the Witch and left their legacy behind.
Typical happy ending.
But, when she read the name of the First Sword Saint, Reid Astrea, she realized that her knight also had the same last name. If Reinhard is related to the well-known hero, that means she needs to do better to be worthy of staying beside the Sword Saint.
Kyoko closed it back, placing it in the same place before moving her fingers to the next book. This one is about the story of the 'Forgotten Witch.' With similar drawing concepts, she opened it and read it one by one.
Forgotten Witch.
In this world, Witches are terrible and unspeakable creatures that once terrorized the world. One of them is the Witch Of Concupiscence, Tiamat the Draconian.
Long ago, the Witch Of Concupiscence once roamed this world like other witches. She founded the lost Kingdom Of Rainides, the famous kingdom in legends that was rumored to be the birthplace of that expert in martial arts and magic.
She ruled them equally, regardless they were half-breed or humans. She stands on top of the hierarchy, firmly holding her position mercilessly. If anyone opposes her, she will immediately eliminate them.
Unlike other witches, Witch Of Concupiscence strictly keeps her ideal as well as keeps her faith in her gods as a strong believer. She loves her kingdom like a mother to a daughter, but at the same time, she wants to rule her kingdom like a puppeteer with a puppet.
She dislikes those who oppose her.
She dislikes those who ignore her words.
She dislikes those who arrogant than herself.
Kingdom Of Rainides is her world, her paradise that she built with her EVERYTHING.
The next page is a girl who is begging for the moon. She is sitting on her knees, begging desperately for the survivor.
"O' my lord. The Almighty God. Why would thou never answer our call? We give everything for you. We worship you. We want, we call, we beg for your help. "
Yet, the moon doesn't answer it.
Instead, the moon leaves.
That day, when the disaster came, destroying everything, their god left them.
The following page showed a picture of innocent civilians running for their lives. The meteorites strike into the land, crumbling whole ground and taking unfortunate ones.
"Zedes!! Why would you don't answer our call!!?"
The girl raised her hands towards the moon, calling her god again and again. The teardrop fell from her eyes. Even so, the moon refuses to answer it.
"Zedes!! I beg you!! Help us!!!"
The moon is still silent. Instead of answering for the third time, the moon decides to leave, leaving this stage.
After her god refused to listen to her requests, the witch lost all her faith. All her efforts and all her sacrifices for her god are nothing but dust.
And yet, this paradise ends up returning to the first ones.
The disaster comes to the land of Rainides, bringing calamities and taking the souls of the innocent ones. Frustrated, the With Of Concupiscence decided to abandoned her faith on her god. As disaster consumes every chaos here, the queen uses her own power to save Rainides.
With that, the people of Rainides think that their god already abandoned them.
Where are THEM when the disaster comes?
THEY is a strong god, yet, THEY refused to help them.
That is why she took a step. That witch will create her own paradise. Where everyone can live without worry about Volcanica, Valgare, or the gods. They will never step into her world.
Unfortunately, there's no happy ending for her.
She was betrayed by the ones who swear to follow her, in exchange that she will protect them. She was forced to lose everything after giving all her efforts to them. She was... She decided to give up on her hope of building a real paradise.
O' Witch Of Concupiscence. Why would thou bring a curse to this world?
Madness, the witch decided to blame the world. She gives a curse to unfortunate ones, where their love isn't a blessing but a curse.
Every time they try to give their love, that love will manifest into a monstrous beast, which brings disaster. The one who received their love will meet the death. The ones who refuse their love will turn into monsters. In the end, they can't love anyone yet crave to give them love.
Those who are unfortunately known as the Curse Bearer and their Witch name is.....
Tiamat, The Witch Of Concupiscence.
Plack! Kyoko instantly closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf.
"Bullshit."
That's her first comment.
Now then, Tiamat, Witch Of Concupiscence, Sword Saint, Volcanica and Witch Of Envy.... The fuck!?
Why would there be many evils and disasters in this world!!? OKAY, THIS WORLD IS FUCKING DOOMED.
My first thought is Tiamat. Okay, that's the word really, really, really has a weird vibe on me, which makes me feel that name is someone I am familiar with. Like how I introduced myself to that Bowel Hunter whore.
Second, My instinct told me that I was the Tiamat Curse Bearer, which means that the curse is actually my katana. How do I know that? Like a damn, I know. When I know, I know. When I don't know, I don't know.
This situation becomes more weirder and weirder.
Lastly, the curse. Tiamat's Curse Bearer is those unfortunate to be cursed to have catastrophic love. They want to love someone, but they can't because they only bring pain to their love.
THAT MEANS I CAN'T LOVE REINHARD!!!! IF I LOVE HIM, SOMETHING DISASTER WILL HAPPEN!!?
HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN!!? WHAT'S THE POINT THIS WHOLE ISEKAI WHEN YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE HOT MAN FOR YOURSELF!!!?
CRACK ----!!!
