“I-impossible… You make a kingdom at that magical forest!?” Exclaimed Alfred in surprise.

“Don’t make such a fuss about it, more importantly, is there anyone except all of you that got captured by the slave dealers?” asked Oz to the freed-prisoners.

“Yes, your majesty. Regrettably, there are still about 14 of us that got captured by the despicable humans, there are some centaurs, Elves, and Goblins too,” Answered one of the goblins.

Oz closes his eyes for a while, sorting and organizing his plans.

“Okay then, I’m glad all of you managed to stay alive. I ordered all of you to go back to the kingdom together with Geeta and Azaline,” Ordered Oz.

“W-wait Ren, we could still help you,” Said Azaline.

“No, I don’t want to take any risks, in the future, both of you could accompany me, but as long as I’m still unsure about your safety, you need to stay safe inside the kingdom. Or rather, you need to keep the kingdom safe,” Said Oz gently.

Geeta clicked her tongue.

“Tsk, using your sly tongue as always, huh? How could we rebuke you if you said that much?” Said Geeta with a pout.

Oz flicked Geeta’s forehead, making her to leak a sound of surprise.

“Don’t pout, Geeta. Well, as we’ve finished the meal, let’s leave. It had gotten very late now,” Said Oz.

“We’re taking our leave too,” Said Alfred, as he and his two siblings left the tavern first.

“Go back as quick as you could, I’ll try to find the missing others when I’m at the capital, so rest assured,” Said Oz to the just-freed prisoners.

Geeta and Azaline left together with the others, and Oz went back to his room at the inn. Just like how he left the room, he enters the inn from the window too.

(What happened to both of you? It’s rare for both of you to be this quiet) (Oz)

(Did I sense the sarcasm there? We’re just surprised when we saw your angry state, master. It’s our first time seeing you like that) (Fenrir)

(And to think that you really are a king of the Demi-humans, it greatly shocked us too) (Reo)

(Please forgive me, it seems that I’ve made both of you scared. As my apology, how about I bring both of you to a place that I love?) (Oz)

(Um… You’re literally lying on the bed, though) (Fenrir)

(Then clench your teeth, I’m going to bring both of you to the place right now!) (Oz)

Oz enthusiastically collects his qi and captures both of the spirits at a ball of qi, and together with his consciousness, Oz sent them to the body of the skeleton [King].

“Welcome, to the paradise of the humans and non-humans, the great Tarot Kingdom!” Said Oz as he summoned both of the spirits from inside of him.

Poof!

They’re surprised when they suddenly got summoned, but when they felt the air and observe the surroundings, they gasped in surprise.

!!!???

“R-Reo, I’m not imagining this, right?” Asked Fenrir with a shaking voice.

Gulp!

“I-I don’t think this is fake, Fenrir. I can’t be wrong, this feeling, this atmosphere, and this smell, it’s Everdeen…” Said Reo with a surprised expression.

“It is real! I sent my consciousness to a clone here, and I bring you guys together with my consciousness,” Explained Oz.

Fenrir turns her head to see Oz, but she jumps in surprise when she saw Oz’s skeletal figure.

“M-MASTER HAD BECOME A SKELETON MONSTER!!!” Fenrir said in a surprise.

*Sound of smacking*

Oz smacks Fenrir’s head and said: “As. I. Said. This. Is. My. Clone!” Trying to be as clear as possible.

!!!

Oz suddenly sensed a powerful presence at a distance. Oz narrowed his eyes and tried to search for the presence.

(Master! The presence that’s coming had a very dense dark mana!) (Reo)

“Gareth?” (Oz)

“It looks like I’m not mistaken, I thought that I felt that your majesty’s skeleton king clone is acting weird, and its presence suddenly got stronger so I wanted to check it, but it turns out that it is your majesty yourself,” Said Gareth as he kneeled in front of Oz.

“Stand, Gareth. I’m sure that everyone should be sleeping at this time, but I forgot that one of my strongest friends is an undead that didn’t need to sleep,” Said Oz with a shrug.

“It’s rare for you to come here at this hour, your majesty. Is there anything urgent?” Asked Gareth.

“Ah! Luckily you’re here, Gareth. Please tell the others, I’ll be coming here before afternoon comes, and gather all of the executives too, including Firenze and the other new executives, I’m going to discuss something important,” Instructed Oz with a smile.

“Roger that, but the truth is, you just missed them don’t you?” Asked Gareth.

“Well, you could say that too. But I’m not lying at the part of discussing an important thing, though,” Said Oz.

“So? Where are you going now, your majesty?” Asked Gareth.

“I’m going to accompany both of these guys around, by the way, why does both of you didn’t change to your big form?” Asked Oz.

“If we change to our big form, we’re going to use a lot of master’s mana, it will exhaust master,” Said Reo.

“Is that so? If that’s the only thing you’re worried, then it’s good, just try to change your form, I’m curious to see both of your real forms,” Said Oz.

“D-don’t blame us if you deplete your mana, okay?” Said Fenrir.

Fenrir and Reo focus their mana circulation, and as they closed their eyes, Fenrir got circled by a huge white typhoon and Reo got circled by a huge dark typhoon.

(Well, I don’t feel the mana that they absorbed from me, anyway) (Oz)

“W-what are they, your majesty?” Asked Gareth.

“Them? The white one is the ice spirit king, while the black one is the death spirit king,” Said Oz indifferently.

“S-spirit king?” (Gareth)

The typhoon dissipated, a huge white and magnificent wolf, and a black and terrifying black lion appeared.

“Whoa! Not bad!” Said Oz.

Both of them are as big as a tree, seeing he could ride them, Oz asked them: “Could you reduce your size to a horse’s size?”

“We could,” Answered Reo, and both of them suddenly shrank to a size of a horse.

“Well, this way, I could ride you easily,” Said Oz as he hops at Reo’s back, and said to Gareth: “Gareth! We’re off sightseeing, send my regards to the others, okay?” And left together with Fenrir and Reo.

Gareth could only helplessly watch him leave, and return to his necropolis.

Reo and Fenrir took their time on sightseeing the magical forest, everywhere they go, they looked like they’re having a nostalgic feeling, and their voice will shivers if they remembered touching memories.

When they’re satisfied with strolling, they return to Oz’s real body and rest together. But the morning came too fast. Oz still felt very sleepy, but he can’t let the coachman uncle leave him here because of him late.

Oz wakes up, takes a bath, and prepares his equipment. Oz transformed the bag Elena gave him to a card so he didn’t need to hold it everywhere, and he could summon it anywhere.

Oz went to the first floor to the inn and asked to be served breakfast.

*Oz Yawns*

(Damn… I need more rest!) (Oz)

(We’re so sorry, master. We haven’t seen the magical forest of Everdeen for a long time, so we forgot the sense of time there, please forgive us) (Fenrir)

It’s rare for Fenrir to felt guilty for what she did, Oz kindly smiled when he heard her voice.

(It’s okay, I’m glad that I could make both of you happy) (Oz)

(Hwee Masterrr!!!! You’re so kinddd!!!) (Fenrir)

(Shut up, Fenrir. You’re making me dizzy!) (Oz)

(But master, how could you don’t even flinch when we used your mana to regain our true form, I believe that it should cost a lot of mana for us to regain that form) (Reo)

(Ah! Yeah! I wanted to ask that to you too, master) (Fenrir)

(It’s nothing. I just happened to have an infinite amount of mana, that’s all) (Oz)

(W-what? INFINITE!?) (Fenrir)

(S-shut up!) (Oz)

***********************************

Oz ate his breakfast and went to the promised place that the coachman uncle told him, but surprisingly.

“W-what the hell are the three of you doing here?” Asked Oz as he started to have a bad feeling.

“It’s our line, what the hell are you doing here?” Surprisingly, it’s Edreale who rebukes Oz’s question.

“Um… I’m going to the capital, though,” Said Oz.

“W-w-wait a second… We’re going to the capital too… Don’t tell me…” This time, Sen is the one who got flustered.

“You three, it is impossible for three rogues such as yourselves to apply for the magic academy too right?” Asked Oz.

“Well, we’re actually aiming to apply at the magic academy. Wait a moment, ‘too’!?” (Alfred)

(This going to be a long trip…) (Oz)
