Novel am i a goddess? a devil? no i am a lizard (ch 112 ongoing)

-interludes to each and their own-



-in the royal capital courtyard-



-training yard-



“HAAAAA!”



*KLIING*



a spark is created


a clash of metal resounded



inside the yard


a handsome young man is fiercely attacking using his sword


his speed and strength is clearly far beyond a average soldier


the soldier around cannot look back from this spectacle


some even cheering the boy, while some cheering his opponent



however, when some group of girls cheering the handsome man, the group of soldier is changing into insulted him instead



“dammit, go die!” “why? why it wasnt me.. kuh, dammit” “argh, if only hatred can kill someone..!” mutters the soldiers



ignoring them, shuu keeps attacking the man in front of him


the man is big and wearing a steel helmet so his face isn't clearly seen



but, he knows


he knows the man strength more than anyone


if he didn't use everything he got, he would be the one that fallen into ground instead



“HAAAAAH!”



he start to leapt in front of him and betting it on all out attack


the audience cannot even see what is happening


if this attack hits, even a b-rank monster would sustain great damage! perhaps even died


but..



“HMPPH!”



the big man is swinging his mace


predicting where shuu is leaping, he attacks that spot and targeting him directly


shuu, which realize it would be bad to receive his attack directly managed to guard at last moment



but


the impact is making him flying about 20 meters



“KYAAH! SHUU SAMA!”



the woman screamed


shu crashed into some trees and flying away


like this, everyone is worried if he got gravely injured



“ow ow ow..”



a mutters


he was still fine


and no visible injury on him


though looking at his condition, he won't be getting up anytime soon



the big man is nearing him


and while offering his hand, he asked



“you..fine?”



white making a relieved face, shuu grab his hands



“yeah, thanks bose-san”


“don’t.. mention it. bad.. at holding back, so”



while getting his help, shuu is starting to get up



….



it was happened some time ago


while training, shuu found himself having trouble finding good sparring partner



because


when he trained with the elite soldier and battle instructor in this country, everyone is unconsciously holding back because he’s a hero


if something happened to hero, they would receive a heavy punishment



after the example of what happened with the averunks kingdom, nobody dares to sparring with him with risk of injuring him


it might be fine to just practice by himself, but there's a limit of practicing alone



so


while in trouble, he was looking for a sparring partner in back alley


known as the place where only bad rumor exist, usually nobody even wants to near this place



but


for him


this place is perfect



the lowlifes here won't be hesitate to injuring him just because he was one of the heroes


and he can fight back to protect himself as self defense if he got attacked which doubles as training here


he thinks it was a good plan at first



but..


shuu was naive



*PRAANG*



“ugh..!”



he got hit by an empty bottle



“HAHAHA! THAT’S IT! DON’T MOVE NIICHAN!”


“YEAH YEAH, UNLESS YOU WANT THIS WOMAN TO GET SCARRED?”



while feeling dizzy, shuu regrets his action back then



…



when he come here, he meet the thugs


since no one recognize him, they tried to mug him


but with his hero body spec, he can beat them easily



but


one of them is getting desperate, and taking a woman hostage


he was surprised since he come out of nowhere and he's already holding the woman


without any choice to not let a unrelated woman gets hurt, he dropped his sword and letting himself get hits



thats why..


he was in this situation



“haa.. haah..”



still looking calm with blood in his head, shuu calmly looked at them



“satisfied? you can let go of that woman now”



saying that, the thug is speaking to him



“huh? is that how to ask the favor?”


“hey handsome nii-chan, you know how to ask a favor right?”


“that’s right! if you want to apologize, go grovel in four in front of us!”



“...”



shuu only looks down


and then


he start to dogeza in front of them



“please!”



and begs to them


looking at that, the thugs is starting to laugh



“HAHAHA! HE REALLY GROVEL”


“HEHEHE DON’T YOU HAVE ANY SELF RESPECT, NII-CHAN?”


“AHAHA, HOW PATHETIC”



“...”



shuu start to gripped his arms


where did he go wrong?


all he want is power


power to become stronger


power to not losing anything else anymore


power to protect everyone he cares about



throwing away his pride


he even come to this back alley


throwing away the soldier in castle warning


he come here without saying anything to them



but


is this is the result?


only powerless in front of unchanging “reality”



like this..


what is the difference compared to before he was coming into this world?



“HAHAHA, YOU'RE TREMBLING NI-CHAN? ARE YOU SCARED?”


“HEE HEE, DON’T WORRY NII-CHAN, WE WERE ONLY GOING TO SOLD YOU INTO ANOTHER PLACE!”


“HAHA YEAH, WE GOT A LOT OF CUSTOMER THAT’S GONNA BUY YOU”



while he was still cursed his powerlessness


a big man is coming while looks drunk


with a unsteady walk, he approach them



“huh?”


“hey, what's the big idea?”



and pushing them away


while coming in front of shuu


while ignoring them



“...”



he looked at shuu


then



“you.. not gonna fight?”


“...”



he stare at him



“with.. your strength.. probably.. easy”



getting dumbfounded, he didnt reply to him


one of the thug looks angry with this man that coming without warning, then..



“AHH? WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? HEY MAN, PISS.. BUAAAGH!”



before he can finish, a punch is swinged to the thug


he was flying and hitting the wall as mincemeat



“H..HII!”


“T..THIS BASTARD! HE KILLED LUKE!”


“G..GET HIM!”



they all get angry and start to surround him


then



“BWARGH!”


“AARGH!”


“AAH! STOP!”



without any mercy, he crush them all


some of them broke his skull, some got smashed in head, and some lucky one got a smashed legs on them



“H..HII..! MONSTER!”



cannot hold it anymore, the remaining thugs is running away



“WAIT, GUYS! BWEERGH!”



without mercy at all, he smashed the remaining thug into a paste



“HIEEE! WA...WAIT, EVERYONE!”



the woman that become a hostage is running away too



it looks like she was a collaborator instead of hostage



i see..


that explains why she shows up from nowhere



“..so strong”



shuu can only seen him with awe


despite the man is not in the perfect condition and barehanded, he defeated them easily


after finishing, the big man faced him


with a body full of blood paint his armor



“...”



he looked at shuu


shuu was surprised with him


a big body and a face full of countless scars without hair in his head



from his aura alone, he can judge


the man in front of him is a veteran that survived from countless battles


the man ask him again



“why.. didn't you fight?”



shuu can’t answer



“...”



then


seemingly regain his mind, he speak



“because..”


“nothing.. can be solved by a violence..”



“...”


“i see”



he seems disappointed


seemingly losing interest, he start to leave



“WAIT..!”



then


shuu stops him



…



“...”



the man is looking back at him



“PLEASE, TEACH ME HOW TO BECOME STRONGER!!”



he shouts



“...”



he seems to stopped for awhile


and then


replying him, he ask



“why..?”



he hesitates for a bit


then..



“i…”



shuu hesitate a bit



“was a murderer”



looking at him, shuu start to speak about his past



…



when he was small, shuu was a genius kid


but he never got any high motivation to do anything


he was smarter than average, have a better look than most people, and able to do most things he put his mind into


with such blessing on him, he didn't have any motivation to work hard



then..


his mother remarries suddenly


because he lost his dad when he was so little he didn't have any memories of him



bringing his new “little brother” it was a gloomy boy


he looked like a nerd, and seems weak that he didn't think he can even hurt a fly


he didnt like a new addition to his family


for him, a family of his mother, and sister is enough



so he often bully his new brother


but, his sister caught his action and reprimand him


it was probably a normal family quarrel, but for him that always get praise no matter what he do it's a incomprehensible action for him



then


that accident occurs



one day


when he was still sleeping in the home, he received a phone call



it was from his little brother


apparently, he said his sister is having a accident involving a construction pipe falling to her


he was desperate and didn't know who to call, and he only knows how to contact the house at his age


desperate, he was begging shuu to call for help



but


shuu which is irritated because his sleep is disturbed gets annoyed with his brother


he thought he was pranking him because he was still angry for his bullying


he ignores him and saying save her yourself if you're a man



after that


he closed the call



..



apparently, it was actually true


he heard the news of his sister death because she was too late to be carried into the hospital


his mother slapped him for the first time he was born



but


inside his state of mind


he didn't even think about why he was slapped



all he knows


is that


he just made a terrible mistake



….



after that


the relation between his family is getting sour


his little brother is start to bleaching his hair and hanging out with bad company


his mother start to going out more often with his new father and almost never coming back home


within his family that he was barely talked to each other anymore, two years is passed



one day


when he was going home from school there's a storm


thinking to hurry to reach his home before it got worse, he was running




and


beside the riverbank


he saw his little brother trying to pull a group of kitten on the box that almost drown in the middle of river



!



he called his brother


yelling what are you doing!


inside this heavy storm



but


his brother ignores him


thinking he can't reach the kitten using a branch, he prepares to swim in the middle of river


he tried to stop him desperately


despite they have no blood relation, he was still his brother


rather than letting him die, it was better to let the kitten drown



but


his little brother stills ignores him


desperate, he was asking him



why


why trying to save a kitten and betting his own life


why go that far just for a life which you barely even knows


his little brother only replied


if you're a man, you must save them yourself right?



..!


doesn't want to accept any objection, his little brother trying to swim even by himself


then



“wait”


“i’ve got a idea”



he start to speak to his brother


apparently, a tree is almost fallen into the river


thinking to just catch the kitten by making the fallen tree as bridge, he suggest to push the tree together


the little brother accepts



then


they pushed the tree and it fall


because it was already old, it fall pretty easily



after that


offering to get the kitten, shuu offers to get the kitten


he debated with his little brother, but he finally managed to convince him


he tied his stomach with rope and tying it to nearest another tree


at first it was going smoothly



but


the storm is getting heavier


when shuu finally managed to get the cat, the tree start to get pushed by the flooding river and drifting away


his little brother managed to grab one of his hand


his other hand is gripping the kitten


he said often to let go of him or else he would get carried along with him


but his brother keep refusing


thinking it was not good if this keeps going on



after that


they're lucky


some of the local seeing their action and calls a police to help


with their help, they finally managed to be saved


with this


they managed to saved the kitten too



….



after this incident, he get close with his little brother


realizing he didn't hate him since the start, he keep apologize to him


irritated, the little brother saying he won't accept him as big brother if he keeps apologizing


smiling, he was accepting that


like this



they really become actual brothers at this point on


but..



….



“it doesnt change the fact that i was the reason of my sister death and letting her die”


“..”



the man looks at him


i.. even if my family forgive my weakness, and nobody minds it but i still mind it



i, am weak


that's why i blame my brother for getting more attention than me


that's why i blame my sister for stopping me


thats why


i want to become stronger



so


i won’t lose anyone that i care about, anymore


if i can’t do that


i.. cannot call myself as a man



“now that i think about it, i haven't introduce myself properly huh?”


“i am narukami shuu. just call me shuu.

right now i was summoned into this world as one of the heroes, but please don't mind it”



!


the guy in front of him seems surprised, but quickly regain the composure so shuu didn't realize



“...”



he seems to think about something


then



“..bose”



he replied



“then, bose-san..”



shuu ask him



“would you mind to become my martial arts teacher?”



“...”



he didn't speak anything for some time


then


while going away from the places he turns back



“ah..!”



thinking he was rejected, shuu tries to stop him


but



“my pay, is expensive”



he only replied with a short sentences


smiling, shuu start following him



…



the man who called himself bose is starting to work as shuu mentor


he never mentions where he come from, and the people in the castle didn't accept him at first



but because shuu is giving his guarantee, they start to accept him


they can’t believe with this man but they can believe with shuu



however


there was one thing that he didn't told anyone



before he used the name bose


he was known as the leader of wolf brigand mercenary, garon

 

-interludes to each and their own 2-




-in the royal castle of grandom-




“CAPTAIIN! CAPTAINN!”



in the middle of the hallway


a green haired fine looking young knight is looking for someone


while it seems like he did not found the one he looks for, he start to get desperate



then..


someone calls him from the back



“ooh, if it isn't kail. what are you doing here?”


“!!”



the young man is surprised


it was understandable


thats because


nobody in this country didn’t know the identity of the man that greets him



“your..MAJESTY!?”


“ssh! you’re too loud!”



saying that


he closed the young man mouth



…..



king ranpossa the third


inside the military country of grandom, he was known as the most open minded king in history


he never give any mercy to his enemies, sparing those who surrenders and always respect highly a strong adversary


a man with a big heart and ambition


he always like to lead his army directly and never stop fighting until the enemy surrenders



of course


this event too


is his usual way of being naughty



“w..why is your majesty is here? also, that appearance”



looking at him


the king is wearing a shabby outfit


a ragtag clothes that even a servant didn't want to wear



like this


if anyone points out it was the king, they won't be able to recognize him at first glance



“what? i was just taking a walk”



he speaks like it was someone else problem



“th..that's not good! the prime minister is already having trouble because you keep disappear. he would definitely be angry if i let you get out again”


“HAHAHA! don’t worry! that old crook is tougher than he looked! one or two problem wont made his bald head getting balder even further”



i don’t think that's the problem.. mutters him



“so”



ignoring him, he continue



“is yuya disappears again?”



hearing him, he only replied a bit



“yes.. i’m ashamed, but captain is often going somewhere by himself”



hearing that, he got amused



“GAHAHAHA! AS EXPECTED FROM THE HERO THAT I CHOOSE! NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALLED A MAN”



talk about birds in same feather.. mutters kail



when the three leader of the biggest countries in the world is discussing which heroes to take care of by each country, king ranpossa suddenly ask hero yuya to come into his country


all of the people present is is confused, but they didn't see any problem and accepts it


in fact, he was greatly taking care of yuya



the king is the type that hates formalities since the beginning


that's why, when he saw yuya that act without formalities compared to other two, he likes him in the spot


the king is strangely never have a child on his own, but he got a lot of adopted children



thanks to that, his other name is called papa ranpossa


even kail is actually one of his adopted son


but he refuse to speak non formal to him that saved his life in the street


the person in question doesn't seem to be mind, but he can’t be informal when there's already too much rough people that doesn’t even understand a etiquette here



“HAHAHA! then no worries! i can guess where he is”


“eh? really?”


“HAHAHA! JUST FOLLOW ME”



getting dumbfounded, he follows the king while still half doubtful



….



in the park near the royal capital


there's a place nearing a forest here



“SEE? HE’S THERE! GAHAHAHA!”



in one of the trees


a young man with blonde hair is sleeping at one of the branch


kail is surprised that he was in the place exactly like the king said



“...”



he was breath taken with the scenery


a lot of birds is gathering near him


looking closely, even some rabbit and dog is sleeping under his trees


looking at this scenery


it seems believable that this man is one of the legendary heroes



“captain”



he calls in soft voice so to not surprise the animal



“...”



yuya only slowly opening his eyes


and then..



“..there, huh?”



he slowly mutters



“huh?”



kail only get confused


then


grabbing his spear, yuya suddenly jumped and sprint to somewhere



“!?”



because it was so sudden, kail is surprised


then



“GAHAHAHA! I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS IT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING FUN HAPPENED”



pursuing yuya, he start to jump between trees whilefollowing him


kail, which gets dumbfounded



“AH, WAIT!”



start to run pursuing them



……



while running in the middle of the forest


kail finally saw the two of them



there..


yuya is in the middle of fighting a bear with four arms



..!


he know what it is


killer bears


known as b rank monster, it was a monster normal soldier could never hope to defeat


the forest here is known as home of a various monster


normally it was unthinkable to left such a forest with a bunch of monster still there this near the capital


but the king ranpossa thought it was good for practicing the soldier instead and left it alone



but


a b rank monster is rare even in this forest


most commonly ones are e rank monster


even c rank is only sighted once a year or so



that’s why


to encounter a killer bear in this forest


he thought it was so unlucky



..!


not good


i can’t leave the captain fighting alone!


thinking to help, he was drawing his sword


but



“stop”



the king stopped him



“!?”


“it's fine, just watch”



he was just grinning


didn't understand what the king talking about, he watch the fight closely



…



*GRRR!*



the bear is fighting fiercely


with strength that can tear apart a steel armor easily, he was keep attacking


but



“hmph”



none of them hits yuya



…



with speed that kail cannot seen clearly, yuya corner the bear and keep stabbing him at the same spot


looking closely


the bear is losing one eye



“awesome”



he was in awe


he knows his captain is strong, but he never thought it was this strong


if this keeps up, the bear will definitely gonna killed eventually


but



“tsk !”



yuya parries the attack


but it was too strong


so he get pushed back



and behind his back


is a tree



“ah!”



captain!


he thought he was in trouble so he tried to help



but


the king is still blocking him


why stopped me your majesty? is what he want to shouts


then



“look closely. don’t just suddenly dive in”


“!?”



didn't understand what the king is talking about, he looked at the bear


watching carefully



“!”



a pair of beastman is behind the bear


one is young cat girl, the others is adult female cat girl both with brown fur


judging from appearance, those two are probably mother and daughter



“if we suddenly dive in, the bear might get surprised and end up hurting those two”


“ah..”



looking closely, he was understood the situation


it was strange since the beginning


yuya never moves into a different spot


although it was easier to avoid by confusing the bear with his speed and moves into back, sides, or below he didn't changed his position and even start to defending instead


it was to protect those two



“captain..”



he almost made a mistake and troubling his captain further


looking at him worried, the king only made a relaxed expression



“he’s fine. i know it.”


“he won’t get cornered without any plan”



eh? mutters kail


then


the bear suddenly attacks him with a tackle


yuya still calmly watching him


he stuck his spear into ground while facing horizontal side



suddenly


like disappearing in the midst of shadow, he was gone



“!?”



the bear is surprised


but he cannot stop his tackle


then



*GROWWL!”



the spear is stuck to his chest


because of his own power, the spear is stuck tightly


he was struggling, trying to remove the spear


at that time..



*GRRR!*



yuya appears from the air


using a kick, he targets the spear that lodges into his chest



*GRAWR!!*



using gravity and the power of his kick, the spear is piercing the bear chest



finally


the bear stopped struggling and collapsed



*DOM!*



with a loud voice


the battle is over



……



“..”



he was dumbfounded


despite the disadvantages, he manages to win against class b monsters


after wins the fight, yuya pulled out the spear that pierce the bear


then



approaching the mother and daughter pair, he was coming to them



“..!”



the small girl seems scared


yuya crouching down and looking to her



“...”



getting stared made the girl is getting afraid further and hides below her mother arms


at that time


yuya was pulling out something from his pocket



“here”


“..!”



it was a flower hairpin



“don’t lose it again, ok?”



the girl seems confused at first


after hesitating for some time, she take the hairpin



then


making a small smile, the girl is thanking him



“t..thank..yo..u”



yuya grins and patting her in head



…



kail looks at them dumbfounded



(huh? then.. the reason captain stays here.. is to find the owner of that hairpin?)



the truth is yuya only found the hairpin last week


thinking that the owner probably gonna returns here he was safekeeping it and waiting for the owner


he was sharpening his sense and keeping watch around



then


he finally founds the owner after a week waiting


but coincidentally, she got attacked by a killer bear


the rest is as kail known



“captain..”



feeling respect, he decided to become strong like him


so someday, perhaps


he can stand back to back with his captain


and become a part of legend alongside him



….



the pair of mother daughter is thanking them


apparently they was in the middle of journey into the mines nearing the demon territory


they didn't know the reason, but there's a rumor said that the beastman can find a place to live if they gather there



thankfully, king ranpossa never hates beastman and didn't care about the difference between races


while in the middle of of talking, he even saying “gahaha, if you didn't find a place to live you can always come to live here, in this country. i will make a house for you guys”



of course, the mother and daughter thinks it was a joke to make them feel at ease.



but they didn't know the man in front of them is the king of this country, neither did they expect he was actually serious


the mothers bows for his kindness and begin to leave for their journey


while making a “bye bye oniichan” the girl follows her mother



…



when they planned to return, the king nonchalantly asked yuya a question



“i never saw that skill before. how did you disappear into shadows?”



yuya only replied



“that’s a secret”



hearing that


the king grinned



“oh? so you mean..”


“if i want to know, steal it by yourself? is that what you means?



yuya only replied



“who knows? want to find it out?”



they both grinning to each other


then


drawing their spear and sword, they start to fight with each other


kail only surprised “EEH!?”


he tried to stop them, but they only said



“SHUT UP” “DO NOT INTERRUPT!”



like that


he was only able to watch until the end


while they are fighting, he ponders



(would this country be alright being lead by those two..)



thinking he was jealous with the heroes in another country, he was thinking if he can swap yuya with one of them or something..

 

-interludes to each and their own 3-



-holy city alexandria backyard-



“KYAAAH!*



in the middle of the night


a girl with a cleric outfit and brown hair is flying away to the sky



“uuu….”



she was fallen into the ground


but


the girl is still conscious



to be exact,


because of her unique skill


she cannot fall unconscious no matter what



“get up”



a stern yet lovely voice is made


a girl which seems younger than her is speak to her


she was having a short shiny blonde hair and a cute face that looked like she was only 13 years old



“at.. at least let me rest please! we have been doing it for three hours straight without any break”



tsk


while muttering such a annoyed reaction


the small girl made a face unthinkable with her lovely face



*BAM*



“GHUEH!?”



she was kicking arisa in the side and she was flying again



then


making a stern face, the little girl made a angry pose while yelling



“YOU FOOL!”


“IF YOU HAVE TIME TO TALK USE IT TO HEAL YOUR INJURED COMRADE BESIDE YOU! IF YOU’RE STILL ALIVE THEN MOVE YOUR BODY TO KEEP EVERYONE AROUND YOU ALIVE! HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TOLD YOU THAT!”



after her yelling, arisa only spinning around and cursing her unique skill for not making her fall unconscious even at this time



ahh..!


why..!


why should i do this!?



starting to regret her decision, she was reminded the first time she was meeting this girl



…



back when averunks country is ruined


because it was decided that shuu is coming into royal capital abona and yuya into military country grandom, the only one left for arisa to choose is holy city alexandria


in fact, she didn't have any other choice because of a certain oracle



however


she didn't really want to come to here if possible



“uuu”



arisa is hesitate to open the door



that’s because..


she heard the various rumor about the current leader of that country



11th holy maiden “the god of war” lily la arkenia


known as the strongest barehanded fighter in the world, she was known to be the most violent incarnate of holy maiden in generation


the rumor about her is that she never leaves any survivor to the enemy that attacks her, and a rumor that she wipes an entire city controlled by a demon single handedly is already famous everywhere


the rumor even said if she was a bounty monster instead of a holy maiden, the guild would probably categorized her as s rank


some people even said that her appearance is not changed at all for 50 years and suspect she was not even a human


that's just shows how dangerous she is



the position of the holy maiden in generation is decided by the oracle of divine artifact that the first holy maiden left



divine artifact “future sight”


it shows the one worthy to become the holy maiden


either they’re a criminals, villagers, noble,or common soldiers the artifact never failed to choose the next holy maiden


it was rumored that a certain mythical being power is tied with that artifact, but the legitimacy of that is unknown


it was without a doubt that the next holy maiden is chosen by this artifact in generation


regardless of one personal upbringing and personality that is


if there's nobody worthy, the artifact won’t show anyone



and suddenly


the artifact shows the girl who deserved to become the next holy maiden last month



then


either by a luck or curse, arisa has been chosen to become the next holy maiden


however, because it was impossible to suddenly inherit the position suddenly, the new holy maiden is gonna be trained in around two years by the previous one until they become full fledged holy maiden



depends on the talent it can be faster, but if the previous one judge they’re talentless it can be longer


in fact, it was not weird that some of previous holy maiden candidate is already becoming old granny once the previous holy maiden is agree they’re suited to succeed them


it was actually not rare that some of them is running away from the holy maiden position and hides themself from the rest of society


as a hero and a holy maiden, she received a lot of expectations so she cannot refuse


….



arisa was afraid to meet such a scary person at first.



however


there’s no other choice if she wants to survive in this world


bracing herself, she finally gonna meets her



*gulp*



behind the door..


lies one of the strongest human in the current era



with a *creak*



arisa opens the door



there..


she was completely surprised



“thanks for coming, lady arisa”



…!


she was surprised


a beautiful angel is greeting her!


making a smile, the beautiful girl in front of her made a dignified looks



just like


a messenger of gods in the picture book



“my name is lily la arkenia, also called as the 11th holy maiden”



now..


i believe you had heard about our purpose for being here right?



“i am sorry to suddenly ask you to come with us”


“but, in order to honor our ancient covenant we have to ask you to lend us your strength”



making a dignified bow, the girl in front of arisa speaked



“i understand that there's probably some confusing circumstance regarding why you're suddenly being chosen not as the hero but holy maiden too”


“however, rest assured that we will offer you our full support”


“so, please lend us your strength”



saying that


the girl still making a bow



…



arisa seems dumbfounded at first


but


having a determined face, she was accepting



“i.. don't know if my power can be helpful, but”


“if i can be a help, please let me do anything i can”



the girl made a smiling face and said



“thank you”



she was so adorable at a moment that arisa wants to hugged her



at least


she once had that kind of delusion



…



“UWEERGH”



vomiting even her breakfast, arisa made such an unlady like expression that can made her fan in the previous world crying in disbelief



“so you’re already reach your limit, huh?”



said the little girl in front of her without a sympathy


even with this much of beating, arisa is still conscious



…..



unique skill “indomitable”


it was the skill that arisa received as a hero


its effect is making the user cannot faint from any status ailment or external factor no matter what


the only exception is probably death. arisa can sleep normally too because it was a natural act instead of status abnormality


she was curious why she was the only one received such a battle purpose skill, but the other two heroes making fun of her by saying it’s probably because arisa head is full of flowers


muu, they’re really like to make fun of me!



but


this time


arisa really wished that she didn't have this cheat instead



…



arisa cannot move a muscle anymore


then


the previous holy maiden carry her in her shoulder to her room


with strength that was unimaginable coming from such a small body



“rest for now, once you had fully recovered come back to my office tomorrow morning”



saying such a spartan like menu, the dangerous battle instructor is mercilessly gonna dry her up


getting thrown away into her room, arisa finally manages to rest



“uu…”



her body aches and tired all over from muscular pain and fatigue


the wound and bruise is mostly healed, but she cant heal the fatigue and the tired mind of experiencing such a extreme pain



“no more..”



arisa was thought the training as a healer is involving training your magic while focusing on praying to goddess and keep using her healing magic


at least, she was previously only doing that before



but


the previous (and still currently) holy maiden is a spartan



“if you have a time to pray, use it to train your body instead. without some fundamental for your body, you can forget about even manage to healing your comrade. you would die first. you don’t like it? then train your healing magic at the same time”



with psychical training that completely different than previous one, arisa was keep tortured.. trained under severe circumstances


survival in the middle of forest with monsters, using healing magic until she was on the verge of fainting and using it again after recovered, waking up in the middle of night and sparred with the most monstrous instructor in the world


with such a extreme condition that pushed her mentally and psychically, arisa reaching her limit



“papa.. mama.. mii-chan..”



she was remembering her parents and her iguana pet



“am i.. doing the right thing?”



thinking about it


she was reminded of her time in the previous world



….



it happened when she was in middle school


arisa is known to be friendly to everyone



however


because of that she was tired of everyone respect her too much like a idol or mascot


she don't really like it


a friend is supposed to be sharing bad things and good things together


so she wants an actual friend this time



one day


she approached a group of three girls


thinking to have a friend this time, she was braving herself



“w..would you please become my friend?”



with a nervous tone that usually unthinkable coming from her


the girls seems dumbfounded at first


then


laughing at each other, they made fun of her



“huuh? you're so funny. miss arisa-san which can takes any boys she wants wants to become our friend?”


“why not just ask your boyfriend then? i bet you can ask them once you spread your legs or something, KYAHAHAHA”



thinking she was failed, she start to made a troubled face


then


their leader like woman is smiling at her



“sure”



while dumbfounded the other two girls



“but, it wasn't free you know?”


“?”



cannot understand what she means, arisa only confused



then


her nightmare begins



….



when she was coming to school tomorrow, she got some trouble


her locker is filled with a trash and her personal things is torned all over


her desk is torned apart, and a dead fish is hung there


she even got some thumbnails inside

her shoes , then she got injured and carried into the school infirmary


everyone is surprised from this bullying to her


she was known to be kind to everyone



thats why


such a hostility is a first


her fan is getting angry and tried to find the culprit


but arisa herself is actually ask them to not mind it


they’re seems to cannot accept that, but after arisa desperately asked them, they had given up


that’s because


she know the culprit is



…



“did you know? everyone that become our friends is having a ritual”


“ritual?”



seemingly confused, the other two is confused too



“thaats right. think of it as ritual for becoming our friend. kinda like rite of passage. right guys?”



the other two is confused, but finally realizing her intention, they all laughs



“yeah yeah, it was a necessary ritual to become our friend”


“if you do well, we might really become best friend you know, ahaha!”



then


accepting her terms, arisa made a smile thinking she was finally able to have a friend


starting tomorrow



she was receiving a various text message like a mission “go open your locker, or come to your desk this morning”


she was feeling strange at first, but she accepts them anyway


after that, she was caught into their various act of bullying



it's actually the first time she received such a evil intent from someone


but thinking it was normal act for everyone to become a friend she was trying to enduring it inside



if only she had a actual friend, they might be able to warn her that this was just a bullying


thinking she just needs to endure, she was accepting all of it



one day


saying if she can succeed this time they would become her friend for real


finally glad she was gonna be succeed , she was determined this time



she was following the mission


the content is that she must stay in the hotel they decided and spend the night inside. that's all


thinking it was strangely lax compared to the previous one arisa is surprised



but


just once more


i can finally have a actual friend this time



after taking a bath, she was prepared to sleep


planning to change her clothes, she was coming out from the bathroom


then



“?”



her room is opened by someone


thinking it was a room service, she was panicked


because her condition is only wearing a towel right now



then


some three man coming out from the door and start to come nearing her without hesitation and one of them is bringing a camera



“OOH! IT WAS REALLY ARISA-CHAN!”



“!?”



she was surprised from the group of man’s that suddenly comes without a warning



“I.. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. SHE WAS EVEN CUTER THAN IN THE PHOTO”


“S..SHE WAS ALREADY PREPARED FOR US TOO. HAA HAA”



she was surprised and didn't have any time to react



“HMM? WHY SUCH A DUMBFOUNDED FACE? WE ALREADY PAID A BIG SUM FOR THIS, YOU ALREADY PREPARED RIGHT?”



“!?”



paid? what does he means?



“but really, you're such a slut. still a middle school girl and already sold your body. aren't you naughty?”



?



sold?


what does he…



“MMPH?”



before arisa able to collect her mind


one of the man suddenly nearing her and kissing her


using even his tongue, it was an experience arisa never feels before



*PFAAH!?*



then


after satisfied


he finally released her



“HEY MAN, WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA STEALING THE MARCH?”


“it's fine right? we already paid a lot for this anyway, let’s enjoy it a little, don't you agree arisa chan?”



arisa still feels dizzy


huh?


what?


what?


what is this?



“OOH! SHE HAD SUCH A GOOD BODY FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOLER!”


“IT’S A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT RIGHT?”



!?


realizing her towel is opened because of surprise, arisa started to closed her towel again



“then, let me be the first!”


“AAH! YOU! TRYING TO STEAL A MARCH AGAIN!”



!!


he was getting close again



scary..


what is this!?


I’m scared..


I’m scared..I’m scared..I’m scared..I’m scared..I’m scared..I’m scared..I’m scared..!



while he began removing his pants


the man is touching her shoulder


he was trying to grab her towel



…!


NO!


unconsciously


arisa grabs the flower vase beside her



and


throwing it into the head of the man that approach her



*PRANG*



“HUH!?”



“!”



the other are surprised


the man is fallen unconscious with a big amount of blood flooding his head



“H..HEY, WHAT’S THE BIG..”



regained their composure, they speaked



but


for arisa


it was more of a bigger shock


noo..!.no more..! no, no…



“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”



she begins to get hysterical and crying


the remaining man is surprised and standing back for a moment



then


starting to running away, arisa slipped past them



“AH!”



ignoring their surprise, she runs away


she heard some scream calling her from behind, but she ignored it


trying to escape as far as she can from this place, arisa running away



…



when she had returned home, her parent ask her a lot of question


surprised with her appearance, there's no way her parent won't suspect something is happened


her parent is outraged hearing her story and report it to the police



the three girls that get involved is getting kicked out from school


it looks like the injured man is survived too but he had become disabled


the police consider it as a self defence, and she was a minor so arisa did not receive any punishment



like this


the case is considered over



but the news cannot be hidden in such a small town


with various rumors going on, arisa stopped going into school


begin to not wanting to coming out or going into school anymore she start to seclude inside her room


inside her room, arisa only ponders



why


all i want is to experience things like a normal schoolgirls do


instead of getting treated as someone special, she wanted to be seen as a normal girl


instead of getting praised and having a stiff relation, she wants to talk about every normal girls thing like love, going out together, and comparing score from the test.



but


she didn't know


she didn't know that girls jealousy can be this scary


she didn't know that a man can be this scary


she didn't know such a hostility exist


she didn't know that humans can be this “evil”



confused at what should she do, and getting scared with people outside she was staying shut in for her remaining middle school life


her parent is calling a trauma therapist to her and made her learn school material from a private tutor


they didn't want their daughter to get scared all the time after all



after some time passes, her condition is getting better


while her dad is received a offer to move his job to tokyo, they moved there


thinking it was a good chance anyway to start over in another town where there's no one knows her, her dad is accepting the job



when she become a high schooler and moving into another school, her personality is already returned to before


she looks more cheerful, and her more matured figure attract more boys than before


she always refuse a request to become their boyfriend


one of them is trying to take a chance and asked if they can start as a friend instead


but she didn't responded



instead


her condition is getting weird instead


her body is trembling, and she was starting to cry


the boy is getting surprised, and ask her to forget about it while apologizing


making a weak smile, she insist that she was alright



like this


even if her body is healed


her mental scar still remains

 

-to each and their own 3 part 2-



one day

when she was talking with a teacher in school

suddenly a circle is shining beneath her


a bright light occurs


when she opened her eyes

she realized she was in the different world

together with other two people


to be honest, she was getting uneasy


suddenly summoned without any warning, and without being able to say anything to her family

she actually wants to complaint to the king


but at that time

when the other third person appears she was relieved instead


that girl actually speak to the king what she wants to said but cannot say


looking at her


she was giggling all this time


…


when they introduce each other she was glad the other heroes doesn't seem to be a bad person


after speaking and getting know them better, she was enjoying their conversation


she was especially wants to know more about the black haired girl

she was able to said things that she was normally unable to say like it’s normal

wanting to knows more about her, she wants to become her friend



but


she was scared

she tried to hide it so others didn't realize



but


the moment she tried to say “let's become friends”

her mind is blank

her breathing is heavy



if she didn't hold it well, she might start to crying too

the girl said she was gonna sleep and start to leave



ah!


if i miss this chance..

i would never be able to say it!


come on


move please, my mouth!



stop being so weak and keep running away!


didnt you determined to start over and

not letting that incident troubling you anymore?



how long are you gonna be a hindrance!


papa, mama, her therapy doctor, her private teacher..

she was troubling everyone with her selfishness and private matter


yet


neither of them is giving up on her



so..


i can't give up too!



please

give me the courage..



“ah,wait!”



muttering that short sentences..


she, finally manages to made her actual first friend


….


-back in the holy city alexandria-


“...”


while resting, she was staring at the ceiling


while remembering various things before she come into this world, she was reminded of her past



then


slapping both of her cheeks

she renewed her determination


“thats right!”


she mutters


“others are not giving up either, not with me, not against the evil”


“so i cannot give up too! i.. i can’t. not when i have already come this far”


making some prayers, she was praying to everyone that helps her till now


“please, give me strength.. papa.. mama.. mii-chan.. teacher.. doctor..shuu-ya.. yuya.., and..”


“mika-chan..”


making her determination, she was renewed her spirit


….


“HEBUH!?”


she was flying as usual


again, without any mercy

she was getting hit in the face and making a strange sound


“YOU’RE STILL SLOW! KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN! THE DANGER WON’T BE STOPPED EVEN IF YOU AVERT YOUR EYES”


she was collapsed

thinking it was gonna be her limit soon, lily start to sigh and thinking to end this training session soon


but


“YES, SHISHOU!”


“?”


she was getting up suddenly


her nose is bleeding back then, so she had already stopped the bleeding with healing magic

but her face still looks hurt


“hou?”


honestly, lately arisa seems to be not motivated and she start to get disappointed and doubtful wherever this girl can be her successor


but she was strangely determined now.

seemingly interested with her change, she start to get excited.


“THEN, I WILL INCREASE THE INTENSITY. BRACE YOURSELF!”


“YES! GOFOBUAAH!?”


getting punched deep in solar plexus, arisa made a strange face and voice


..


*haa.. haa*


when she was finally collapsed and cannot stand up anymore

lily bring her something cold beside her


“drink it”


i was a wine in wood glass


she was surprised that a holy maiden is drinking, and furthermore..


“umm, i am still minor..”


ah wait, i am not anymore..


then

she ignores it and putting it beside her


“if you don't want to drink, then throw it away. nobody is forcing you anyway”


seemingly disappointed, she seems to get sulked and drinking alone beside her


is she.. trying to cheer me up?


looking at the glass

arisa made a determined face


and


holding the glass, she was drinking it in one gulp


“hou?”


lily seems impressed

and then


“BUWAAH! IT’S SPICY!?”


“pfft”


lily is laughing at her


“BWAHAHAHA! OF COURSE IT IS! DO YOU THINK A BRAT LIKE YOU CAN APPRECIATE THE TASTE OF A WINE!? A GRAPE JUICE WITH A CHILLI INSIDE IS ENOUGH FOR YOU!”


she was making a crying face while her nose is snorted because it was so spicy


uuugh!

that was cruel!


seemingly to relax, lily ask her


“did you find your determination?”


huh?


she start to explain


“you seems to get confused lately, like a lost child that didn't know what to do. suddenly you get so determined today. but i realized you still worried about something. what happened?”


…


seemingly cannot hide it, arisa speaked


“did.. i.. no, we, do the right thing?”


arisa said what is weighing her mind


seemingly listening, lily is getting quiet while mutters “go ahead”


then,

continuing, arisa begins to explain


“i realized”


“even if we manage to win the war, and by chance the demon is gone and they won't bother us anymore..”


“people.. won’t change, do they?”


arisa start to made a sad look


“they can still doing evil things without any regards of their victim whatever it was painful or not, and they can still hurt others without even them realize it..”


“if.. the humans and demi human wins somehow, and demons are exterminated, weren't they just gonna fight with each other next?”


in fact, some trace of disorder is already started to happened.


the elf country cannot understand why humans like to live inside such a building without any plant or trees at all.

the fish demi human is starting to riot when humans expanding their land and blocked the river.

humans and demihuman even made a prejudice against some race, like the beastman.


“is.. an actual compromise is impossible at all? would there never be any times when humans and demi humans unite with each others and truly standing together as equals?”


arisa didn't have any hope that true peace would ever occurs


but


she was wishing that at least humans able to accept the demi humans as their comrade.

she was wishing it would hold true as well for demi humans.

that they can putting aside their difference and standing together some day.


“...”


lily only quietly listen her


then


while approaching arisa


she slapped her right cheek so hard that she was flying


“HEBU!?”


why? thinks arisa


then,

speaking without any doubt, she was facing arisa.


“are you an idiot?”


is what she was saying


…


“look, how many years did you live again?”


seemingly surprised, arisa replied


“eh? umm i just become 18 last month, but..”


she hit her in the head lightly


oww!


why, shishou?


“then you're still a brat!” she mutters


eh? eh? getting called a brat by a girl even smaller than her made her confused.

ignoring her confusion, she speaked.


“i have lived for 214 years and i have never even seen that unity you speaked of.”


eh? you're even older than the rumors? she made such a dumbfounded look


seemingly irritated, she pulled arisa cheek


“what's with the face that looks like you’re seeing an old ghost?”


“BFUEH FUWEH, I’M SORRY!”


she was crying while getting her cheeks stretched


seemingly losing interested, she continue


“let me tell you, you're not the only one who ever wish for the unity between the races”


“in fact, an certain idiot is even trying to go further and united the demons together with humans and demi humans”


eh? she was surprised


seemingly in bad mood, she said forget about it shortly


“anyway, my point is that you're still too young to be worried about that. many people trying to think of a solution and failed in the middle of their journey. they all spend a millenia trying to find a solution. far more longer than you. what makes you think you can if they failed?”


“so just do whatever you can first. prioritize those that is gonna died in front of you, and save those that is close to you. otherwise you’re gonna lose everything instead!”


…


arisa didn't really understand what she said


however,

she knows one things.


that shishou, the small girl in front of her is worried about her


“why are you laughing?”


making a small grin, she said


“nothing , shishou”


while making such a smile, lily is getting doubtful but ignores it eventually


“it’s gonna be morning soon. better return to your room”


if the priests seen the brutal training they do, they would get noisy so lily rather train arisa in the middle of night.

other reason is because she wants her to get used of dangerous situation in anywhere, anytime.


“yes! shishou!”


getting cheerful, arisa follows her


i can't stand such a straightforward person like her - mutters lily


…….


“come to think about it, why did you call me shishou?”


while returning, she ask her question that bugging her for a while


arisa made a troubled face, and then..


“eh? umm because i already had a teacher, and calling you master seems kinda embarrassing, so..”


looking dissatisfied, she speak


“lily”


huh?


“just call me lily, we both a holy maiden after all. there's no need for a respect”


seemingly happy, she said


“th.. then, let me call you lily-chan! actually i want to call you that, but i was too scared to said it!”


she got kicked again in her legs


“fool! don’t get carried away!”


“owwie… sorry..”


crouching and grabbing her legs, she was in pain


then


“if you want to call me that do it when we’re alone..”


mutters her in small voice.


arisa heard it and smiled


“yes! lily-chan!”


ignoring her this time, they start to continue walking toward her rooms


…


“kyah!?”


arisa tripped on something in the middle of walk


“sigh.. you're still lack training”


mutters lily


“s..sorry lily-chan..huh?”


looking closely


she was tripped on a person


“ah, i’m sorry. are you alright?”



she was worried and looked at her condition


“...”


pretty


looking close, she was pretty.

a beautiful white skin and long silver hair.

even wearing a hood, she can see some of her facial features.

there's a scale in her skin, if it's not for that she would become a perfect beauty like a doll instead.


“nnn..”


oh good, she was still alive.


mutters arisa.


“are you okay? did you get hurt somewhere?”


then


*KRUUUK*


with a loud sound coming from her stomach


the girl is saying


“hungry…”


she was surprised.

then..


“ah? are you hungry? i had some biscuit in my pocket, here..”


“...”


the girl feels so hungry and begin to seen some things


starting to saw a illusion because she was hungry, she mutters


“floating marshmallow?”


while looking at arisa breast


“?”


she was wondering what she meant.

then..


“itadakimasu”


her mouth is getting big instantly


“eh?”


arisa is making a dumbfounded reaction


and


*chomp*


arisa is getting swallowed whole


“!?”


lily is surprised and didn't have any time to react


*chomp, gulp*


she swallows her


*burp*


she made a exhaled voice


then


“ARISAAAAAAAAA!!???”


begin to screaming, lily realize what is happening


at that time.

without any scream or warning.

hero arisa, is suddenly disappears from this world.

-The daily life of a master courtesan-




In the world outside the Goddess influence...

A spiritual place without any humans here.

Inside the biggest building in the center of the world.

A moan was heard throughout the building



“MmNNNNNNNh..!”



A lovely voice



In the midst of the biggest room inside the building.

A countless person with fox tails and wolf furs was here with various gender.



No,

Perhaps, calling them a person is not right..



At a glance, they didn't seems different than beastman.

However, what makes them different is that all of them have such high spiritual power.



And those high spiritual power being...

They all fainted with heavy breathing



“AHhhHHHHHHhH…!”



Another moan.

A girl with a beautiful golden fur and hair was making that voice



Step step step step



A sound

Across the door

A lovely step was made



*GACHANK*



Then,

A figure forcefully opened the door .



“...”



Looking at her surrounding, the figure was a lovely fox with such a beautiful red fur.

Although her appearance looked like a 15 years old girl, nobody here able to underestimated her.



A dignified aura and strength was oozing from her.

Her presence alone was enough to make the collapsed fox and wolf is aware to her.



Then,

Exhaling herher breath, she spoke with a loud voice,



“HOW LONG ARE YOU PLANNING TO LAZE AROUND, MOTHER!?”



Said The cute girl.



…



All of the collapsed people gotis starting to get up and made a way for her.

After they had cleared the way, the girl was approaching the center.



In the midst of that.

A beautiful woman with long scarlet hair and lazy appearance was sleeping



“Zzzz…..”



Even while sleeping, her hand was still automatically doing a lewd movements.

Looking at that...



The girl stared at her angrily.



Then,

without hesitation at all, she kicked her face with all of her might



“Fubuh!?”



“I SAID, STOP SLEEPING! EATING, PLAYING AROUND, SLEEPING, THAT’S ALL YOU EVER DO!”



Having been kicked in the face, the woman is forcefully blown and crashed the wall.

The surrounding made a hiee sound and got scared.

Normally, such an act is considered taboo for them.

After all...



The person that she kicked was the supreme ruler of this world



“Mmm..!?”



The woman opened opened her eyes halfways.

Looking closely at the figure in front of her, she replied lazily.



“Five more minutes...”



And returned to sleep



*bichi* (sound of anger)



The girl snapped



Then,

Starting to concentrate a giant fire above her with her two hands, she glared at the woman.

All of the surrounding people got scared and ran ran away while muttering Run! They're at it again!



“WAKE UP, YOU IDIOOT!!!”



Then,

Firing it towards the woman, a huge explosion sound resounded.



…



After the room was burning.



“Geez, you werewere not holding back, did you, Miki chan…”



“I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME MIKI CHAN! AND YOU, WHAT KIND OF PARENT ARE YOU, LEAVING ALL OF THE MATTER OF COUNTRY TO HER DAUGHTER!?”



“Hmm.. But Miki chan is good at managing it, right? I am not good at sorting document at all... Noo, I dont wanna... I can’t do iiit... Yep, I’ll just sleep then..”



“STOP BEING SO IRRESPONSIBLE, YOU!”



After making another fireball, the room exploded again.



-Two hours later-



*haahh hahh..*



“WELL? HAVE YOU GOTTEN MOTIVATED NOW!?”



The girl panted heavily and was getting tired.

The woman in front of her received a had afro hair from the countless fireballs,

while the room already turned into ashes long ago...



“Ah ah... The room got destroyed again... You don’t have any mercy for the carpenter, Miki chan? They will be crying for after working overnight again, you know?”



“S... Shut up! I am the one paying them anyway, like you have any say in this! Also, stop calling me chan!”



Already tired, the girl didn't have enough energy left to yell.

Despite that much destruction, the woman was unharmed.

Except for her appearance, that is.



“Mm and I liked these clothes too.. I have to change them again..”



Her clothes were tattered and burned.

Although, there's no single wound on her white skin.



“I was the one who buy them for you as well! And I have to pay the prostitute fee, your food including your daily necessities! Isn't that supposed to be the job of a parent!?”



“Woww, Miki chan is amazing, banzai banzai! A superwoman indeed!”



*clap clap*



She clapped.

Looking at that



“UKIIII!!”



Miki snapped again...



…



-Inside Miki’s room-



“Anyway, just sign this and this! These matter need your agreement, and they have been on hold for many years already!”



“Eeh? You're cruel, Miki chan.. A tyrant! A dictator! Boo! Boo!”



“Then start to work already and finish your joobbb…!”



The woman made a pouting face like a kid, while the girl seems to be stressed so much that she might have a bald head at her age.

Looking disinterested, the woman glanced at the document for a moment, then...



“Okay, done!”



She stamped them all without looking.

Miki made a roundhouse kick to stompwards her face



“AT LEAST READ THEM ONCE, YOU IDIOT!”



Even though she had footprints on her face, she looked unfazed and started to look at the document again.



“Even if you said that... All of them are related to the demands to expand the land because of the increase in birth rate lately.. Geez, who asked them to breed like rabbits anyway?”



“IT WAS YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE AT FAULT!”



“Eh? I did?”



Making a expression like she truly didn't know anything about it, Miki had to exhale and explained



“After you took over as the leader of this world, you kept encouraging them to make se..se… make children as a national policy and embracing your desires as a motto. Thanks to that, the birthrate had a sharp increase and this world starts to lack land everywhere”



“Miki chan? If you mean sex and impregnation, I already showed you it many times, didn’t I?”



She kicked her face again.



“AND I TOLD YOU MANY TIMES! STOP SHOWING ME THAT KIND OF VULGAR THINGS! THANKS TO THAT, MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES IS FULL OF TRAUMATIC THINGS!!”



Angry at her childhood trauma being brought up, she kicked her again.



“Ah, your panties are showing. Geez, wearing such childish panties at your age. Phii mama is sad...”



“AND YOU! ACT LIKE YOU AGE ALREADY! BESIDES..”



“YOUR NAME IS ACTUALLY PHOENIX, ONE OF THE THREE STRONGEST MYTHICAL BEINGS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PHII MAMA!?”



Hearing that, Phoenix only make a slovenly face and thought



(I just wanna go back to sleep soon..)


While facing the roof

 

-The time when you seriously misunderstand what a friend is-



-This is what if situation if Mika/Miho is the one talking with those three girls in some school instead of Arisa-


-In the faculty room, after school time-



“Making friends?”


With a confused expression like hearing something foreign similar with watching ufo, i asked the teacher.


“I realized you’re always alone, Ebisugawa-kun. Don't you think having a friend will make a school life more fulfilling instead of a lonely life?”


Looking at the teacher like i was watching the most idiotic creature in the world, i desperately hide my expression so he didn't realize.


A creature with every excuse to dragging you to go out with them to every place that they thought everyone like it without considering the other party taste or dislikes, the one that keeps doing the act of borrowing with ‘what is my friend have is mine, and what is mine is mine alone’ excuse and end up doing the ‘Huh? The thing that i borrowed? Sorry, where is it again, tee hee sorry…’ with a face like they’re not sorry at all, and storming inside your house like it’s theirs, and leaving away a parting gift of sinking ship in your room like a storm was coming…


He asked ME to act buddy towards those kind of creature? Is this guy brain full of maggots eating his brains? Perhaps every cell of his brain is already changed by worms and maggots brain? Ahh, dangerous. The whole school is already got infected. Start calling martial law and exterminate this whole damn fucking school before its spreading, prime minister!


Ignoring me that makes a obviously annoyed i-don’t-want-to-seems-troublesome expression, the teacher continues.


“I realize you’re absent again yesterday, did you have some of trouble at home? Well at this rate, your credit might not be enough to graduate”


Making a stiffen expression, i tried to turn away.


“If this keep up, even your good grade won’t be enough you know. I know you’re probably have some circumstance, but i can’t keep giving special treatment to one student. In fact, most of the people in school thinks you’re already changing school”


I pretend to whistle and not hearing him while closing my ears.


……..


After the lecturing for two hours, i was back in classroom.


Hmm.. what now?


Having to sold myself to be buddy with those kind of creature is pissed me off honestly.

But if i keep making trouble, the teacher might not gonna help me this time. Worst case, expulsion.

I prefer to be student at least. If i didn’t, there's no more excuse to not categorized myself as neet.

Sigh.. this is troublesome, why do humans need socializing? Not like the world gonna end if i closed myself and shut in from the rest of the world.


Besides, to begin with…


How to communicate with other creature around my age anyway?


While thinking like that, i saw a three gal girls speaking with each other in my corner of sight.

Those girls seems like the type that leeching their parents money and influence without second thought.

The world seems to be better off without them... ah, that’s right.


I got a idea.


Theres no need to have a friend.

All i need is to shown that i had acting buddy buddy with someone else.

That way, the teacher won’t complain.


Alright...

Let’s just approach those harmful insect for now.


Standing behind them, i start to speak as nice as possible


You... Thing… There...


“!!!!!????”


“EEEK!?”


“WHA.. WHAT!??”


They started to scream and get surprised.

After calming themself up, they start to look at me like looking at ghost and waiting for my next words.


….


What now?

I never think it’s necessary to speak with those creature, so i still think for my next words.


“W.. who are you?”


“R.. risa, do you know her?


“I.. i don’t know! I thought she was a ghost! My heart seriously feels like it’s gonna pop out from my chest!”


They got panicked and asking about my identity.


Whatever..

Better done it soon and i finish this troublesome things.


You.. trash… gather...


Hearing that, those guys is getting surprised more.

Ah, crap. They look confused instead… the point, the point is...


You.. me... slave…


Yep, this feels more fitting.


Least.. you.. useful… to society


Those guys started to looked confused,

All i offer to them is a chance to becoming useful to society at least once in their life. Isn't that what we, humans, called a kindness?


But they seems to cannot understand and start to yell.


“Huh?? What are you talking about!? First you surprised us and you start talking about some weird things!”


Following her, the others start to speak too.


“Y..yeah! We don’t understand any creepy things that you’re talking about! To begin with, who are you anyway?”


“Are you in drug or something? Although we’re a bad girls, even we know you’re clearly a trouble! Don't come near us, weirdo!”


Even those trash is starting to dissing me.

Well, i am a adult. So i just ignore it and speak to them my intention with clearer voice.


“You, join me. Show up together in faculty room”


That way, the teacher might convinced i had some slave...friend, yep.

However, they can’t read my intention and start to look at me suspiciously and whispering to each others.


‘It can’t be.. did she know about our relation with those middle aged man?’


‘I told you, they’re going to be a trouble someday! Remember when that one guy looking at me with a eye full of lust? To begin with, if only you didn’t approach them for some pocket money...’


‘S..shut up! You girls are doing the same things like me! You can’t just blame me alone!’


‘A..anyway, what should we do? If she report to teacher, won’t we get expulsion for sure?’


‘That’s the least of our worries! If words came out, our lives will be ruined’


‘Then.. let’s silence her?’


The other two start to look at the girl who suggest silencing with a suspicious stare.


‘To go that far, you..’


She looks dumbfounded, but after realizing it she start to panic and correcting herself.


‘Ah, that's not it! What i mean by silencing, let’s just threaten her to not spread any words outside!’


They start to think and discuss with each other, until eventually.


‘Good idea.. let’s bring her to backyard first’


The other two nodded, and the leader like girl named Risa start to speak with her.


“Excuse me, uhh....”


She seems to have a troubled face.


“Classmate, did you have any business with us?”


Because she clearly didn't remember my name, she start to call me in general term.

However, i don’t have any more patience.


“Look, Just get it over with. To the point, to the point.”


“!!?”


Hearing that they got panicked at whisper to each others.


‘It.. it can’t be. Did she start to get suspicious?’


‘What should we do? She clearly knows our crime!’


‘I.. i know! Like she said, let’s just get it over with!’


Making their decision, one of the three approach the girl.


“EEEI! JUST COME WITH US!”


One of them is start to panicked and grabbing my right hand.

Oi, what are you doing? Don’t touch me so suddenly you walking obscene slut.


I refuse her pull and start to resist by not moving from the spot.

She clearly got irritated and start asking for help.


“Shit! She just won’t budge! YOU GIRLS! DON’T JUST STAND THERE! HELP ME TOO!”


Hearing that, the other two start to standing up from the chair.

I don’t know what they’re planning…


But,

They start to annoy me.

And once i got annoyed, i explode.

I tried to settle it peacefully, but can’t be helped, they started first.


So i pull the remaining bottle of cooking oil from the cooking lesson inside my bag with my free left hand, and...

Throwing out the oil, i spread it to those guys.


“KYAAH?”


“WHAT IS THIS?”


“GROSS!”


Those guys start to get wet and their blouse is seen through.

If there's a boy walking inside it would be a lucky pervert time, luckily this is after school time.


Then..

I pull out lighter from my pocket.


“Eh?”


“What are you doing?”


“Eh? Ah, you..no way?!!”


One of them seems to realize my intention after smelling the oil, while the others are still getting puzzled.


“A.. are you insane? This is in school, you know? Do, do you think such an act will be allowed? If, if someone else seeing this it won't just end in expulsion!”


I ignore her and turn on the lighter.


Then..

I threw it off to them.


“!!!”


Those three looked at the lighter, and one of them trying to stop it.


“STOOOP!”


She tried to grab it desperately, but she missed.

Seeing the situation, it looks like the other two realized too that things had gone bad.


“EEKK!”


“AAAH!”


The other two is getting pale looking at the lighter.

When it touched the ground, those guys closing their eyes and start to crouching their bodies.

While trembling, they got scared and huddled together while crying.


“NOOOOOOO!!” x3



…


….


…..



-One minute later-



“Uuh… Hu...h?”


“Eh? Eh? Wha?”


“Forgive me.. forgive me..”


Looking at the surrounding, two of them slowly opening their eyes.


And they realized,

Nothing happened.


…..


They got dumbfounded and looking around with a teary face.

Well that's understandable.

After all, it's not actual lighter.


It’s a toy shaped like a lighter.

It made a light that looks like a fire, but its not actual fire.

I tried to give it to my brother as a gift. No, it's not like i thought it was interesting myself.


“We.. alive?”


“Ha.. ahahaha…”


“Oh god.. mother.. father.. i’m sorry, i’m sorry.. please forgive my mischief until now… i’m gonna become a good girl from now on… sorry, sorry”


One of them is still out of it. So once the leader like one regain herself, she snapped her out of it by slapping her cheeks.


After realizing nothing had happened, i take the fake lighter and facing them.

One of them still feels hurt from getting slapped and touching her cheeks that swollen like a certain candy mascot character.


“So”


I speaked while facing towards them.


“Have we become ‘friends’ now?


They looked at me with surprised face while looking speechless.


Fuh, why so surprised?


Isn't there a old saying “friends goes to thick and thin together?”

After such a life threatening experience, the survivor is becoming best friend now. Spelled B.F. called bestie.


Yup, yup, its perfect.

Now, all you guys need is just grab my hand together.

Let’s just go to faculty room and smile together while holding each other hand.

And we just need to go to our separate ways after that as strangers like before.

Come on, cheese. Smile, like a good buddy. At least just for a few moments.


Hmm.. isn't those guys awfully got quiet? They didn't answer or reply.


Then,

Looking at each other, they decided on something.

Like a chorus, they work in harmonize together.


“YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME, YOU BITCH!!”


“SCREW YOU! YOU CLEARLY GOT A SCREW LOOSE IN YOUR HEAD!”


“LIKE HELL WE’RE GONNA DO THAT! YOU SHITFACE! GO TO HELL!”


They got angry and start to leave the classroom hurriedly.

After they left, i was left dumbfounded alone in empty classroom.


Huh?


Did i made mistake somewhere?


….



-One week later-



Ahh.. a sunny day, a strong sun.

What a perfect day.

And it’s killing me.

Okay, this is impossible. I should just go home, yep.


While in the middle of walking to the school, i tried to go home the second i’m out from the house.


I don’t want to walkk.. i wanna go to sleep, i want to go back inside Aimi embrace…

Ahh, Aimi, if i become useless bump would you be taking care of me then?


If you get angry it feels good too… uhehehe.


While i was lost in thinking, the three strange creature is standing in front of me.


“Geh!”


“She was here!”


Two of them making a reaction like they can running away anytime.


“...”


The leader like woman is looking at me with serious expression.


Hmm…

The reason they're here.

Definitely, revenge huh?


Although it's a correct way to dispose of garbage, this one can fight back unlike the inanimated trash.

Most likely, they already start to ambush me and bringing some scary looking guys to surround me.


Ahh damn, i hate running away.

Guess i’ll just make her a hostage to escape.

Eh? Cowardly? They're the one that's going to attacking me first!

A justifiable revenge? Like i care as long as i win.


Their leader like woman is approaching me.

A one on one duel? How old fashioned. But it's fine for me.

Getting her as hostage to escape would be easier then.


But,

Contrary to my expectation she didn't do anything.

Instead she asked me a question.


“Back then..”


“?”


“If you, bring a actual lighter instead of a fake one”


“What will you do?”


She asked me such a obvious things.

Without hesitation, i answered her.


“Throwing it away like the fake one, of course”


She looked at me in amazement.

Then, she start to ask again.


“You.. aren’t afraid of getting captured in jail?”


I answered her calmly.


“So?”


“?”


“If i burn the whole school, won’t the culprit be hard to identify?”


“... I see, there's that way”


She looked amazed instead of denying it.

Well, there's no way i can gather enough burnable tools like oil or gasoline to burn the whole school. But i can burn the electricity or kitchen then the whole school probably got burned eventually.

Hmm? That doesn't sounded bad. If the school is burning, i don't need to go to school anymore.


I probably won’t do it anyway since i want to enjoy school life peacefully and after graduation i can spend time forever in my room together with Aimi.


I probably won’t meet with this society trash.. delinquent group anymore, so let’s just bullshit all the way.


“Weren’t you afraid of divine punishment or something? Or even the chance of somebody dying because of your action? Is law and order doesn't matter anything to you? What if your parent crying because of your act?”


“Well, if it comes to that, i’ll just apologize for taking their lives in hell?”


With such a lazy tone, i replied.


“I see..”


Seemingly making her mind, she looked at me with determined face.


Then,

Crawling in dogeza, she speak with loud voice.


“ANEGO, NO, ANEKI!!”


Against the sudden act, even i got surprised a bit and answered automatically.


“Y..yeah?”


“PLEASE LET ME BECOME YOUR FOLLOWER! OR DISCIPLE!”


“No thanks, goodbye”


I answered it in split second,

And start to leave.


“Since there isn't anything else i am going home now”


Huh? For what did i come out again today? Seems like i did have somewhere to go today… … ...oh well, must be not important if i can’t remember. I’ll just go back to Aimi side.


“Eh.. EH? WAIT, ANEKI!.”


She start to get up and following me.


“PLEASE LET ME HEAR YOUR REPLY! ANEKI? MA’AM? BOSS!?”


“Hum hum hum, what should i dress Aimi today?”


“PLEASE DON’T IGNORE ME, ANEKI??”


Huh.. weird, instead of a friend i got a disciple instead. Does that count? Hmm..

Let’s just say it counted yeah.

Mission accomplished, i suppose?


The other two looked confused, but they followed her that following me too.


It’s another boring day today. I’ll just go home.
