Let me be a mob! - Zetro Translation

[Jin’s POV: ]

The girl opened a giant box of shock and surprises for me and left me hanging with an unimaginable amount of questions.

The rune stone was now in my grasp but I still was skeptical about this whole situation. What was supposed to do with this? Should I believe a girl who didn’t even tell her name but just looked exactly the same as Dia?

‘But she knew about my biggest secret… ‘ The time I transmigrated in this world, I decided that I would never share this secret with anyone despite how close they become. I would just accept that this was my reality and my past life was just a dream.

However, somehow the girl knew everything about me that I had told no one. I suspected that she might have read my mind but some of her gestures and the smile she had had some essence of mine, even though it all seemed so surreal.

‘Well, there’s no harm being cautious… ‘ The motive of my supposed daughter was to alert me about my future where I would lose control over my powers and eventually kill the woman who currently lay in my arms.

When someone attains divinity through distinctive means, they leave their mortal shell and adopt a particular form that suits their new originality. It was said by Dia Junior that I would lose my rationality for some instance after accepting the lordship of the spirits and in that brief period, I would become an entity that would be uncontrollable even by Gods.

That was this artifact was created by the future me in advance. However it was completed only after I lost Dia, I had no other option than to send my daughter to alert this present me.

Then why didn’t I myself come back, you say?

Well, that would have been a far better and more credible option but according to Dia Junior, my future self-presence would have created a ripple in this reality and this world was not prepared to face such a being as of now.

‘Kinda proud…’ Well, of course, I would be elated to hear that I would reach such a level but along with strength massive headache must be tagging along as well. In the first place, the reason why I needed to accept divinity was because the Protagonist failed to oblige and rate the demon lord as he was supposed to do.

I couldn’t go against the future but I surely could help Aiden grow faster, just in case.

‘Then there is Dia as well… ‘ With a sigh I looked at the princess who was lying unconscious in my arms as I walked back to the motel.

It was my idea to knock Dia out since it might be possible that she would have seen her possible daughter and might ask me questions afterward. Junio Dia wasn’t happy that I had to hurt her mother but she didn’t complain.

Looking closely, Dia wasn’t bad looking…or to say, she was one of the most beautiful girls in the academy along with Amands and Fiona. The psycho professor wasn’t over heels for her for nothing. That crazy professor didn’t greed for her status or wealth, but Dia’s beauty.

Her personality was not something you would expect from a princess of the empire. She always thinks of others first and has been supportive of Fiona as well. She never tried to rival her siblings for the throne and allowed them to distribute everything amongst themselves.

In a way, she was overly kind and barely showed any kind of desire. Like if there is one bread load left on the tray and along with Dia there is someone else in the line for the bread, she would readily hand over the loaf to the other person despite knowing that she has to starve for the rest of the day. Such kind of person she is.

The event in which Aiden wins her heart is because Dia believes her brother and doesn’t heed Aiden’s warning, resulting in her being trapped by her own blood.

“She’s too pure for this cruel world… ” I sighed once again.

Soon we reached the motel and fortunately, everyone had already gone to their rooms. I levitated my way from the outside and landed inside her room from the window.

I remembered that Fiona was staying with the same redhead senior with whom we went on the expedition today. Maybe some girls talk or something.

Making sure that Dia was placed comfortably on the bed I carefully pulled the blanket over her.

Under the moonlight, her beauty seemed ethereal, which made me stare at her for a good moment. Whether it was because now I know that there could be a future where we both fall in love and have such a wonderful daughter or maybe I was just influenced by that girl, I was somewhat drawn toward Dia tonight.

I may return to my normal self by tomorrow but at the moment I feel like watching her sleeping face for a little more.

I don’t know how much time went by but the sky had begun to change its shade which meant I should be returning to my room.

Just remembering the words of Junior Dia, I couldn’t help but mutter under my breath before I left the room.

“I don’t know what future we might have to face but I hope I can keep you safe for the rest of your life… ”

[3rd person pov: ]

The room fell into silence once Jin closed the door and walked out.

Amidst such serene silence, only one thing could be heard if any keen observer were to be present in the room.

And that was the fastened heartbeat of Dia who had been pretending to be asleep for some time now.

‘…why?’ With her eyes now parted she couldn’t help but look at the spot where Jin sat a moment ago, as the question emerged inside of her regarding the statement he spoke of just now.

‘She’s too pure for this cruel world… ‘

‘I don’t know what future we might have but I hope I can keep you safe for the rest of your life… ‘

Dia didn’t know why Jin said such a thing but the dormant emotion Dia had been hiding all these times suddenly surfaced and was making it hard for the girl to even think rationally.

Being carried in his arms was one thing but the promise that he would protect her for the rest of her life….

‘No good… ‘ Dia sat on the edge of the bed with her palms covering her already flushed face.

The Knight in Shining Armor was the story she had been hearing from her friend forever and due to such, Dia has come to fantasize about her prince charming as well. She didn’t want to come in between her friend’s relationship but after what happened tonight, Dia was forced to face her suppressed feelings once again.

‘Should I ask him…no.’ It would be awkward to ask Jin why he said such a thing rather, Dia decided upon something more concerning.

‘Rather than living in confusion, it would be better if I sort out my feelings first…’
