Eclipse (Connected As One) AkashixOC

Chapter 41

~moving back a few hours~
~in Prince Lariaki's tower~

"Three days?" They all asked Akashi

"Yeah, I buy time for your reunion. This way, we can buy time for Prince Sora as well." Akashi explained then looked at Danilusk "It's not compulsory, but are you going to join us as well? I prefer not to because of your situation though"

Danilusk tried to speak, but again no words came out and just muffled mumbling.

"Nod if you want to join us" Akashi asked and Danilusk immediately nodded "I understand. Though it's troublesome if we don't do something with your voice"

"Ask Shintarou-kun, he has an answer for sure. So why not bring him back here?"

"..." Akashi looked at Aoki-hime and tilted his head "is that your way of saying you wanted to see him?"

"W-what?!" She shouted flustered from his question, her face turning into pure red

Akashi sighed then ignored her, looking towards Furihata and Kiryu "but I will not bring Midorima here, instead I'll bring you two, along with Aoki-hime to Munerum kingdom. It's much safer there, I'll also inform Prince Sora about the plan"

"Uhm, is it okay if you bring the citizens in the island to Munerum?" Aya asked as she was chewing the meat "I mean, it's also much safer and in case of unforseen circumstances that the enemies will attack them instead"

"I understand. I'll get them from the island, then bring them to Munerum. Well, I can't bring them to the village, since the villagers will surely get mad at me again, but I'll bring them somewhere safer. Ah, I also told Klaus not to mention Aya, I'll just bring you three to the village then not to where the citizens are."

"Wait a minute!" Kiryu raised his voice as he stood up, making a serious expression "what's this?! its as if you are saying Mikazuki will join the war! She will not! It's your world's problem, and Mikazuki is out of it! It's dangerous! She can loose her life! So she's coming with us to the safe place"

"I agree with her going to the safe place." Prince Lariaki agreed then turned to Hisame "and you should go with her. I will not let my own son join this brutal war. If what you said is true that Aya-chan is Sora and Hoshino's sister, then it's more than my duty to keep her safe as well. So Aya-chan and Hisame will go back to Munerum"

"..." Akashi sighed then turned to the two said person, though he knew what would be their response, he still asked them "then, what can you say? Aya? Hisame?"

"Thank you for the concern, but I refuse. I'll join the war" Aya immediately responded

"But-"

"Kiryu, I am thankful about your concern for my safety, however, returning to this world for the second time, I learned lots of things about who I am, about my family, about the reason of this war. As one of the main reasons, I can't just stay quiet and sit peacefully when people are fighting because of my power and existence"

"What are you saying?! Mikazuki, you are just an ordinary girl from earth. You don't need to be involved more in this world"

"I am from this world" she immediately retorted and seriously looked at him "more like, I grew up in Earth, but my family is from here. I was moved from earth to save me, but in exchange my family, their friends were in pain. They protected me when I was still a fetus in my mother's womb, this time, I'll protect them, and fight with them" she then smiled and grinned "though I said that, it's not that I'll be in the frontline. I'll be helping people who got injured, whether they are allies or enemies, I wanted to minimize the casualties"

"Thank you as well for the concern, father." Hisame immediately followed "However, I will also remain here and join the war as Aya-san's guard. Since Seijurou-san will fight in the front, I'll stay with Aya-san instead. After all, I'm the only one who can protect Aya-san while Seijurou-san isn't by her side"
