Tentacle Lord

Chapter 12 : Resolve

Under the blazing sun three figure came out of the castle gate was scythe-wielding young man with an all dark get-up and black overcoat, it was me. the second was a girl wearing modern clothes that shouldn't have existed yet in this world wielding a sword and shield, it was Tsurai. The last to came out was a woman wearing a china dress with a whip on her hip, it was mother.

Right after Tsurai's and mother's equipments were done and we were about to tested it by mock battle, mother suggested that we tested the equipment by fighting the monster on the kingdom.

" the best way to test your new equipment is by using it in real battle. " (Risala)

Since we could wipe out the monster in the kingdom while testing the equipment, it would be two birds with one stone. Hence the reason we came out of the castle armed to the teeth.

Oh and since it was too dangerous to took Alice and Yuuna with us, I left and told them to stayed inside the castle. I reinforced their room and left Alice a wand, just in case they were being attacked by anything. Although the wand I left Alice could be used to defense herself and Yuuna, the real purpose of the wand was for Alice to fired a magic outside the room to let me knew if they were being attacked.

" nee Kagero.... " (Tsurai)
" what is it, Tsurai ? " (Kagero)
" will Alice and Yuuna really be safe ? I'm really worried. " (Tsurai)
" they will be okay, didn't Kagero already reinforced their room and gave Alice a wand, you should trust your husband's power more, Tsurai. " (Risala)
" it's not like I don't trust Kagero's power, I just... " (Tsurai)
" well, it's not like I don't understand why you worry but they'll be safe. " (Kagero)

For now the monsters around the kingdom showed no sign of interest in attacking the castle since even after they knew we were inside the castle they didn't come inside the castle to attack us. I have some theory as to why the monsters didn't attacked the castle and one of it was because the monsters around the kingdom were afraid of the monster below the castle, as to why the monster below didn't attacked us was a mystery I didn't knew.

" even if in the unlikely chance they are being attacked the reinforced room should buy them enough time for Alice to fire a magic to let me know they're being attacked so I could rush to rescue them. " (Kagero)
" .............but still.... " (Tsurai)
" It's okay, I won't let anything harm them. So please don't worry too much, okay ? " (Kagero)

I pat Tsurai's head as I said that and a small smile formed on her face.

" ..un, I'll try. " (Tsurai)

After easing Tsurai's worry I was about to lured the monsters to us but stopped when I heard what mother said.

" well, even without Kagero helping them Yuuna's guardian beast should be able to fend off any normal monster easily. " (Risala)

As mother said that me and Tsurai were dumbfounded. What's a Guardian beast ? and Yuuna has it ? there wasn't any record of this guardian beast in all of the books I've read in the Laturey kingdom. Then again, the amount of books pertaining other races whether it was culture or abilities were scarce and those books contained were mostly theories. How did mother knew about this guardian beast ?

" ..mother, what's a Guardian beast ? and Yuuna has this Guardian beast ? " (Kagero)
" eh ? you don't know about Guardian beast ? I mean, Yuuna has one, doesn't she ? " (Risala)
" no, I never see this Guardian beast and I'm sure Yuuna doesn't know about Guardian beast either. Since she never mention it. " (Tsurai)
" does that mean Yuuna don't have one ? but that can't be, with all that magic power she must have one or maybe she hasn't summoned it ? " (Risala)

Lost in her thoughts mother began to mutter.

" anyway, where do you find the information about this Guardian beast, mother ? as far as I know there wasn't a book in the Laturey kingdom's library containing info about this being called guardian beast. " (Kagero)
