XI : the beginning of the beginning

"Sasi, have you heard of a demon lord living in this world?"

Sasi stopped once and looked at me.

"What do you mean this world junj? Did someone summon you in this world?  Well, yes, but he didn't live long. Our ancestors said that in this world, there are only 20  living things"

"And?"

We continue to walk.

"Ah, should I tell you all of them?"  She walked while her two hands were on the back of her head. 

"Of course, this is important Sasi"

"Okay! Where do you want to start?"

"it's up to you"

"Aaa..., okay, hm, my master told me this, she said the 20 living things were created by one god. The god came into this world accidentally. She is confused about why this world was full of water, with no animals, humans, monsters, or even land. 

It is completely water, she decided to change this world. Using her power she create what she wants, Forests and animals became her hobby to create, but when she create humans and animals, unfortunately, they just drowned. She decided to create land, she pour her time into the--"

"Wait Sasi, how did she able to create a human?"

"Ah, I think my master said, she summon a soul, and after that, she gave a body, Just like to an animal. In just her words, everything she said will happen. Our ancestors called her 'the god of words or God Azamina. 

After the preparation is complete, she creates again the human and animals. The human she create was fast to adapt to this world, she was satisfied with them. To protect her world, she creates 21, supreme leaders. 3 of them were human, the others are monsters."

"Wait Sasi, you said 20 of them, then, these 21 supreme leaders were not the first living things in this world, the God Azamina created the first"

"Wait junj, I'm not done yet. This is what happened after the god created these supreme protectors, she gave them a title to each other. Using her own power, the supreme protectors become strong. 

Azamina-sama explained to them how important this world is to her, That's why the supreme protectors devoted their lives to Azamina-sama. They protect this world for her.

One day, Azamina-sama asked them to do everything to protect her world.  She also said that she would leave this world first. She would return when she had finished what she was doing.

The supreme protectors follow the last word of their god"

"Sasi, you haven't answered my question, they are 21 right?"

"junj, I'm not done yet, relax. This story is long, I just want to tell you the important okay?

As time moves, the supreme leaders do what they want, some of them create on their own territory, while others await the arrival of their god, and others are honing their skills.

Many days have passed, and Azamina-sama has not returned, but They have not lost their hope that the god would return, so they waited again, but the wickedness of this world is multiplying. One of the supreme leaders has already drowned in the power that he falls to wickedness.

A demon lord is unstoppable by the 20  supreme, because of that, the one who fell into evil became a demon lord.

The supreme leaders helped to overthrow the demon lord. But they could not beat the demon lord. He is too strong, even though they combined their power. The demon lord beat them.

Only months have been the battle between the supreme leaders and the demon lord, and the people died because of the demon lord and his disciples. Other humans were killed without a fight, they were also involved in their battle.

At one point their fight was stopped by strong light in the sky and Azamina-sama appeared.

She was not surprised by what happened. The 20 wounded and tired supreme protectors showed their respect to Azamina-sama. They knelt and bowed.

In just one word of Azamina-sama, the wounded and tired supreme protectors were gone. Their strength returned.

While the demon lord was not afraid and he attacked his god. At Azamina-sama's words, the demon lord flew away.

While the demon lord was away Azamina-sama came down to the ground to ask what had happened. One supreme protector spoke.

She said that the pollen of the demon lord does not seem to diminish, so they have a hard time killing the demon lord.

Azamina-sama herself fought the demon lord. 

My ancestors believed that almost half the world was destroyed in their battle, and that's why humans are extinct. 

Because the demon lord was alone and the supreme leaders were given power by the lord, the demon lord did not win.

Azamina-sama repaired her world and the remaining 20 supreme leaders were given power equal to the god.

Here is the beginning of sucking the pollen.

Azamina-sama sucked their pollen to make sure that no demon lord would live again. and their last name is Azamina. She trusts her remaining supreme protectors to protect her world.

Azamina-sama will leave again, she entrusts her world to 20 supreme leaders, and she also promised that she would return to this world"

"Ah, so the curse was created by Azamina-sama, to become loyal to her, for she doesn't betray her... Wait, it means Sasi, these 20 supreme protectors are still alive?"

"Haa! junj I'm tired, yes, they are still alive, but only 5 actives, the remaining 15 were sleeping or they sealed themselves, if they felt the rebirth of the demon lord they will appear to kill this demon lord, we called them to 'the 20 divinity deities', but we believed too, that the remaining was already dead, especially the 3 human but also we believed thy still alive" Sasi takes a deep breath and even though we didn't walk fast, her sweat coming out. 

"Okay, last question Sasi, what is the connection of the demon lord to the god?"

We stopped for a while at the big stone to rest.

"What do you mean by that junj?"

"Ah, why is the demon lord not allowed to exist here, if the evil we talking about, they're a lot of evil-doing here"

"Ah, okay. Before Azamina-sama leave, she said that the power of the demon lord was dangerous, 

also, her path to come here might be blocked by the powers of the demon lord. If that happens, Azamina-sama's way might gone. She might never ever come back in this world"

"Wait Sasi, how did you know about every detail, if this is just your master's or your ancestor's story, this is too accurate, even me I don't know what happened but your story was..."

"Okay junj, anyway this is not a secrete, one of the supreme is in our kingdom, she always sleeping, she just wakes up to eat and then slept"

"WHAT!, ONE OF THE SUPREME PROTECTORS IS IN YOUR KINGDOM"

She covered her ears with her hands" hey don't shout, I'm just your side, and don't repeat."

"oops!, sorry, if that is true why is your princess ha--"I covered my mouth.

Thankfully she doesn't hear what I said, she still covered her ears.

"What did you say junj," she said while rubbing her ears.

"Ah, I said, I want to sleep with you  tonight"

She slapped my face but seeing her blushing face it's enough.

"D-Dummy!" she stood up and continue to walk.

I followed her "Wait Sasi, what I mean is, I want to sleep with you tonight because I want to know the rest of your story, you said this is long, but I want to know something" 

"junj, okay okay, fine, but Sana should be sleeping with us too" 

-Dara, what do you think?-

-About what, master-

-This whole thing. I don't want to believe but, but I notice something. If this is t--..-

-MASTER, THAT IS NOT TRUE-

-okay okay, you don't need to be mad at me, okay I will not ask this again-

-..........-

As we walked, on the far side, Sasi notice a big animal. She jumps on the tree branch.

"junj, we're lucky today, there are two big boars" Sasi uses her bow, before she fires her bow, she put poison at the end, and then shoots the big boar.

She was able to hit two big boars with one bullet... Big as an old elephant.

While we wait for the effect of poison. I asked her what happened to Saya, but she just fire her arrow at me. I can see the blush on her face. The way she looked at me was so cute, if she act like this I might fall for her and snatch her someday. Well, I'm already fallen.

I looked at the sky to know the time, it was just 8 am. Just seconds ago the boar could no longer move. We approached the sleeping boar together.

"junj, can you carry these?"

"ahm, of course!"

-Dara!-

-Hai! master-

The big boar was swallowed by my dimensional stomach (dim.. stomach= a black hole-like appear on the ground and swallowed the boar).  Sasi doesn't react to my skill. She just walked towards my village.

While we walked in this plain grassland I called her to ask something.

"Wait Sasi!" She fastens her walk.

"Sasi wait!" I held her hand but she tapped it.

"I said wait" I poked her back but she didn't react.

"junj, stop it. Okay, can you go first I need to do something. I will just follow you if I'm done" She placed her hand on her stomach.

"Ahm, toilet?"

She kicked my leg weakly.

 

"N-no, please! wait for me there"

"Okay"

I waited for her behind the big tree ahead.

-Dara, I know you can explain this... She said that the remaining was already dead. Do you think that is true?-

-Master. If they freeze their body, they are still alive, or if they have a barrier that can stop time, they are still alive, or god gave them immortality-

-A barrier that can stop the time ha. hm.. what is that mean Dara?-

-Master... Last night, Saya put a barrier on your tent right? We know this 'divinity deity is strong. If they made a barrier that can stop the time that is possible-

-Because they are strong...? Okay... Dara, I'm correct right?-

-Yes master, except on your mind-

-Wh--..-

I stopped because I heard a wsh..wsh...wsh...

"Sasi, why here, I don't want to beat again"

"I-idiot, don't look here, baka. If you peeked here I will kill you" 

"How can I resist the blessing, you're the one who came here, sorry Sasi, hearing your sound is hard to say no"

"W-wait baka" 

I looked at her, and she is already standing but the ground her juice. I would stare at her holy treasure but she poked my eyes.

"b-baka!" She took my hand and pulled me to walk.

"Sasi"

"Shut your lust junj, I won't let you see my......."

"Why did you do that behind the rock, if you want to seduce me? Don't worry I've already fallen for you"

"Shh... junj, don't worry you are not my type ... So sorry .. Also where do you want me to do that. This is plain. there is nothing to hide, I thought you were ahead... I don't care if you heard that, as long as you can't see I'm fine" She tightened her grip on my hand.

"Sasi, if  Sana sees us like this, I'm dead, she thought I brainwashed you too, I've had enough of her protective"

"junj, don't worry"

As we walked, I remember something.

-Dara, can you tell me?-

-....-

-okay-

A minute ago I can see my village before Sana sees me like this. I asked Sasi to let go of my hand. I just regret it because the way she held my hand was on my wrist, not like a lover's.

We continued walking towards the gate of my village. After we entered my family was in the middle. I asked Sasi to find Sana, while me, I went straight to my tent. when I entered, Saya was sleeping alone. 

I peek into the tent if anyone is around, fortunately, they were all in the middle of the village. I looked at Saya again, she was in deep sleep.

"My time to continue"
