105 For her 2/2

*SWOOSH* Hayato, Maya, Alyra, Arleth, Kara, and Wade appeared inside the forest where Hayato fought the second test, it was still far from the Lyrel Kingdom but at least it won't take them long to arrive there, they should be there at sunset even if they walk

Hayato turns to see all of them and says " Let's get going " Then he sees Maya smiling at him and says " Ok the Lyriel Kingdom if I remember correctly should be in that direction we should... "

But suddenly Wade interrupts him by saying " Let me be the guide this time my friend, I know the fastest way, it won't take long, so let's go "

The group saw Wade's back walk away so they begin to follow him after. Wade's walking looks in a hurry it seems that the excitement to see his wife once again hasn't calmed at all

Hours of walking passed and finally Hayato begins to sense a large number of people's energies concentrated in one place, which means that the Lyriel Kingdom was close by

" Alright, stop " Said Hayato and all of them turned to see him with doubt, and Wade says " Why? we are almost there "

Hayato sees him with a serious expression and says " I know, that's why we have to stop here as we have agreed before, you will have to wait here, with Alyra, Arleth, and Kara "

Wade makes a surprised expression that then turns into a sad one and finally, he reluctantly says " Alright "

Kara then says with a face of doubt " Why do that? it's not like he is being hunted "

Hayato turns to see Kara with a grinning expression making her blush slightly then he says " It's exactly that, he, Arleth, Alyra, and I have been there before and we did somethings that put prices in our heads so if we go there like that I'm sure that we will be chased "

Kara looks a bit surprised then she says " So what? you are very powerful, I don't think that there is anyone in this weak continent that can stand a chance against you "

Hayato shakes his head slightly and says " I can't afford to underestimate our opponents, I did it once and I paid the price, luckily I managed to escape alive, besides " Hayato turns serious as he turns to see in the direction of the Lyriel Kingdom " We didn't know who could be on the kingdom "

' The king should have called mercenaries from the Monster Continent, Im sure that he won't take me lightly after my fight with his father, and his father, the old man must be much stronger than before, he should be a bigger threat now ' Hayato Thought with a very serious expression

Maya makes a serious expression as well and says " Hayato it's right, there are some very weird presences in the Lyriel Kingdom, some very powerful, we have to be careful when we get inside "

" Then how do you plan to enter? " Kara said with a confused face

Hayato turns to see her with a grinning face again and says " I have my ways, now, you, Arleth, and Alyra will be staying here, Maya will go with me she is the only one that hasn't been in the Lyriel Kingdom before, I hope that the rivalry between the Lyriel and the Ballack kingdom's helps to hide her identity, besides, she can detect those strong presences that I can't do, we will be able to reach Veronica's crypt without crossing any of those guys "

Kara frowns and says " Why only her? I haven't been there yet, so I can go with you as well "

Hayato looks at Kara with a calm face he knew he was right, but despite her arms and legs now covered by the silver armor she was wearing, she will attract more attention with her looks than Maya, after all, her hair is still unique in this world so Hayato shakes his head and says with a small smile " No, you will stay, you still don't have full control on your strength and if the situation gets tense I can afford to let you hurt, I promise you that I will protect you and make you stronger, no? "

Kara turns red and pouted then she bowed her head and says softly " Then fine, go now " Hayato nods at that and turns around, while Alyra and Arleth smiled seeing Kara's reaction, Kara raised her head and saw Maya seeing her with a mocking expression then she showed her her tongue which made Kara frown with annoyance

Then both begin to walk and suddenly Alyra says with a serious expression " Hayato, this time don't be so curious " she said remembered when Hayato fought her grandfather, Hayato nodded with a wry smile and he says to Maya " Let's go " Maya nods with a beautiful smile and she walks next to Hayato

Wade sees the departing back of the pair with a tense and nervous expression then *SLAP* someone slaps his nape softly, Wade puts his left hand in his nape and turns to see the one who hit him, it was Arleth who was seeing him with a grinning face then she says " Don't be so nervous, he will be back in a couple of hours at most with your beloved wife, I'm sure that she will be as happy as you when you see each other "

Wade smiles and nods the conversation with Arleth calmed him down, now he was smiling watching at the distance

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few minutes later

Hayato and Maya walked side by side until Hayato stops making Maya stop as well " Ok, I think is close enough " Hayto said with a calm face while Maya nods and say " Are you planning to transform to get inside the kingdom, right? "

Hayato smiles at her and says " Yes, that's the plan, I can go around there with this look, besides, I think it will be better if I use this as well " Hayato raises his palms and *SWOOSH* An armor appeared

Maya looks at the armor with slight surprise saying " That armor, it's the one that Alyra gifted you? "

Hayato nods and puts the armor next to his feet while Maya sees him with a hopeful expression and says " Then can you take that form again? please "

Hayato sees her reaction with a slight smile but doesn't respond, instead, he begins to use hand seals and " Transformation " *PUFF* Hayato was covered by a cloud of smoke

Maya waited until the smoke disappeared and then she smiled at what she was seeing. Hayato transformed into a smaller handsome guy, his body looks a little skinnier, and his hair was black, and short and was made a mess, but his eyes now were the most remarkable thing in him, they were light gray

Maya smiled widely and jumped against Hayato " Hayato! " she yelled as she hugged him very tightly, now because of the size difference between them Maya surrounded Hayato's arms and rested her head on his right shoulder, then she begins to kiss his neck continuously

Hayato smiled wryly as he says " You know, you don't have to react like that every time I take this form " Maya shook her head on his shoulder and continues to kiss his cheek

Hayato sighs slightly and pats Maya's head with his right hand " What am I going to do with you? You look like a spoiled girl right now, haha " he said with a smile then...

{ ' Hehe, you can't blame the girl, she seems to be so in love with you ' } Albion said with a cheerful voice

Hayato smiled at Albion's voice so he thought ' It seems so, anyway, you haven't talked in a while, is everything alright? '

{ ' Almost, I have been thinking about something, this girl, Maya, she is more fond of you in this form than she is in your current Sasuke guy body, don't you think it's time ' } Albion said with a serious voice

Hayato frowns slightly, then makes a thoughtful expression then Albion continues { ' You don't seem so uncomfortable with it as well, don't you, this girl and the others have changed your way of thinking, besides, you don't seem so reluctant to it as well ' }

Hayato grins slightly and thinks ' You are right, but it's not the right time to change back, and besides, I don't know if it's possible to change back at all '

{ ' You should talk with him again, I know he can do something ' }

Hayato nods slightly ' Yeah, I will do it, but again when the time came '

Suddenly Maya stops embracing Hayato and sees him with a confused face then she says " Is something wrong Hayato? you are being so quiet "

Hayato shakes his head slightly " I'm okay, I was just talking with Albion "

Maya makes a face of doubt and says " About what? "

Hayato smiles slightly as he shakes his head " Nothing important, don't think about it "

Maya pouts and says " What are you hiding? " then she grabs Hayato's cheeks

Hayato grins wryly while his cheeks were being grabbed, he grabs Maya's hands and pulls them down, then he says " I will tell you later, now can you leave me some space I have to put the armor "

Maya grins teasingly as she takes a couple of steps back " Ok, want me to help you change? "

Hayato sees Maya for a second then he grabs the armor on the ground and says with a smile " Seriously? "

Maya shows him her tongue and smiles but still she doesn't leave so Hayato shakes his head and begins to remove his clothes, with Maya seeing him with careful attention

' This girl ' Hayato thought while he removed his clothes, after a few minutes more he begin to put on the armor, the armor had its clothes so that's why he had to be almost naked to wear them

Hayato wears the chest armor and as he did that he asks Maya " So, what did you talk with Kara? "

Maya shows a surprised expression then she frowns and crosses her arms under her ample bosom, she turns her head to the right and says without looking at Hayato "I just reminded her position, that's all "

Hayato sees her with a raised eyebrow and thinks ' They didn't fight I'm sure of that but it seems that they don't like each other ' Hayato sights and says " Anyway, I'm ready, we can continue now "

Maya sees Hayato with a beautiful smile then she makes a serious face and says with a raised eyebrow " Hayato, that looks good on you, but it wouldn't be better to use the Balance Breaker than wear that armor, I mean it will be better in any sense "

Hayato grins and shakes his head " I thought that before but the Balance Breaker armor it's too flashy and thick, I will stand out more with that than with this armor "

{ ' I can't deny that ' } Albion said to Hayato

Hayato continues " Besides it isn't like I can use it any time, as I told you, we are going for Veronica and leave "

Maya nods slightly and says " If you say so, but you know where she is buried? we aren't going to dig every grave, right? "

Hayato shakes his head again and says " She must be buried in the east side of the castle, where the nobles bury their dead, it should be in an underground crypt, well that's what Wade told me "

Maya frowns and says " It seems that that bastard of the Brywood family thought of her as his wife or lover, no? Who did he think he was? "

Hayato nods slightly and says " Yes, but now he is dead, we shouldn't be worried about it anymore, come on, let's go " Hayato grabs Maya's hand and they begin to walk, and despite that they were grabbing each other hands Maya has a frowning expression, Hayato noticed that and sighs internally ' It seems that she is angry, it must be because of Kara, this is new '
