Chapter 11: The Undead Party
(Helcomec's PoV)
We were headed into the bath area and it was an open bath area. There was an open space and there was also a big wall, this must be the wall that blocks us from the girls. Issei was the first one to enter the bath area and he's already trying to climb the wall.
"Hey Issei what are you doing up there? Whats even important in climbing that wall anyways?" Said Carl walking up to Issey that's already half way up the wall.
"Shhhh, keep your voice down man cuz on the other side there is a paradise that every man wants to visit or experience once in a while." Issey said with a lewd expression on his face.
"And what exactly is this paradise that every man should experience once in his life anyways."
"The land of butts and titties bro, that's the paradise that I want to see and it lies just beyond this wall man. Now join me on my quest to reach this forbidden land."
Carl didn't even give it a thought and just started to climb up the wall with Issei and I just sat in the bath. Azazel, Kiba, and Zoltar were sitting next to me and they started to talk.
"Umm is Issei always like this. I mean is he always in search for this "paradise" he spoke about." Asked Zoltar.
"Yeah, he is even though he always ends up in that "paradise" every night." Azazel replied as he was washing his fallen angel wings.
"How would you know about this Mr. Fallen Angel. Do you sneak into his room and watch what he does." I asked him.
"No Issei shares his stories with me so I'm pretty informative about every night that goes on at his bedroom. Because it leads him to his life long dream of becoming a harem King." Azazel said.
"Tell him to keep dreaming cuz this guy right here will become a harem king without even trying." Said Zoltar
"Why do you say that?" Asked Azazel.
"Because after we win our fight with the greatest evil he will become the king of our land. And with his power he will have to decide his power to his children like his father did." Explained Zoltar.
"Your a prince and you didn't tell us. We wouldn't have let you do all this training if we knew." Said Kiba.
"Actually I just found out about this two days ago so it hasn't really sunk in yet. And a letter that my father wrote to me, that I found said I can just be who I want to be." I told them. "We actually came here from another world and we were sent here so that I can look for allies to help me in this fight. It also turns out that the great evil that we are facing I'd doing the same thing so I'm looking for capable fighters. But I don't want to force anyone to come with me. We might even encounter one of your enemies too."
"But it has nothing to do with us, so why did you start of with us?" Kiba said.
"You guys are already involved. This world is actually already involved since the plan of this great evil is to make all of the worlds collide with each other but once they do each world will be destroyed. This is why you guys are involved. The reason why you guys were first is because when I first came here I had a feeling that there was a dragon nearby so I followed it and saw you guys." I told them.
"Okay I'll help, only if Rias gives permission for us to do so because I am part of her household and also one of her knights. So do we have a deal." He said sticking his hand out for a hand shake.
"Actually I was going to ask you guys to keep it a secret until the right time comes so until I actually tell them anything you will have to wait to shake on it." I told them.
"Okay, I understand but until the time comes I will be waiting to help out a fellow swordsman." Said Kiba putting hand down. "Issei you heard all that right? You better keep it a secret from the girls alright."
"Yeah, I'll do it I'll keep the secret but if they pressure me to squeal like a little girl, I will tell them." Issei said still trying to climb the wall.
"Umm, I actually have one last question. What do you mean when you say knight and household?" I asked.
"Oh that's right you didn't know that we were devils yet right. Well now you know that secret. Well when we say those things we are talking about our status. Since Rias is a high class devil she can participate in tournaments called a Rating Game and each person in the household must participate. There is a maximum of sixteen people in a household. To play one of these rating games each person in the household has a role in these games. The roles that I am speaking of are chess pieces. The rook, the bishop, the knight, the king, the queen, and the pawn. And the way to win is to take out the opposing household's units, to defeat the enemies King, and having the opponents King retire or give up. This is what I mean when I say knight and household." Kiba explained to me and Zoltar.
We finished talking and we just started to chill in the bath again while Carl and Issei were still trying to climb the wall but keep falling off. While we were in the bath the girls entered their bath since it was quite a few second ago and suddenly it sounds lively. Can they be any louder we can hear what they are talking about? Well I guess this is a good chance to understand girls better, I think. But I have a feeling that we are being watched from all around us. So I got out of the bath and went into my room to get changed into my sleeping gear which were just black shorts with a red shirt. I grabbed the teleporting device in my pocket and went outside. I tried to jump to the roof but it was too high and I remembered that the girls in my subconsciousness gave we their wings, weapons and armour. But I didn't know how to use my wings.
"Hey, can anyone tell me how to use my wings. I really need to get to a really high place." I asked the girls live my in my subconscious.
"You just have to imagine a pair of wings coming out of your shoulder blades and they will come out. That's pretty much it." Said Demonica.
"Really I thought that there was more magic related things involved but if that's all there is to it then thanks." I said imagining wings coming out of my shoulder blades.
"No problem, just don't try peeking on the other girls while you get rid of this dangerous presence I'm feeling." Said Demonica.
The wings came out and I flew up to the roof and made sure that I was in an area where I can look for this presence I feel. I found one on top of the bath and casted an invisibility spell on myself using the devil eye. I took a look at the items I can use in the transportation device and the diamond sword seems the most helpful and read a notebook I found in my father's lab which talks about magic. One page describes fusing magic into a weapon and making it into a magical weapon permanently and temporary. I transported one of my magazines and pistol to try infusing the magazine with explosion magic so that the bullets would turn into explosive bullets on contact. It worked because the bullets started to glow a grey colour and I loaded it into the pistol. I got ready to jump of the roof when I see something and I heard something rustling in the leaves. I pointed in the direction I wanted to shoot and waited for whatever it is to pop out of the dark woods that was blocking the bath.
A zombie came out of the woods so I shot at it with the explosive shot and the bullet hit the zombie in the chest, then it blew up into pieces. I jumped off of the roof and I landed on the ground that was next to the girls' open air bath and zombies appeared out of the woods. There was a lot of them and I teleported another pistol with three extra magazines and I infused each magazine with explosive magic. It took me a long time to notice this but each zombie was different. One kind of zombies looked like the generic zombies you see in the movies, the other kind are the Kabane from the anime Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. These zombies have an orange core in their chest and destroying the core is the only way to kill it but, the core is tough to break through, and the other zombie are the risen from the game Fire Emblem Awakening. I'm thinking that there has to be someone or something controlling these things but for now I'm going to focus on killing them all.
"Hey Helcomec, I didn't think that you would be the type of person to go into the girls bath and expose your self." Rias said.
"That's weird, I thought I put an invisibility spell on myself when I was on the roof." I thought to myself.
While I was thinking Jessie was talking to Rias. I think she was trying to convince her that I'm not a peeping Tom.
"I know how he is and he wouldn't be here without a reason. And the way he is dressed means that there is something going on around here that nobody has noticed yet." Explained Jessie. "Helcomec can you tell me what's wrong? We can help you with what's going on."
"I don't know how to explain it but, I felt some kind of evil prescience coming from this direction, so I got out of the bath and went up to the roof if I can see something and while I was up there I saw a bunch of zombies from different world coming out of the woods." I explained to every one. "I think that I need a little help since i see that an endless amount of zombies are coming out of the woods."
"Okay, we'll help since you guys are our guests so we should be able to protect you." Said Rias getting out of the bath. "By the way what do you mean by other worlds?"
"I'll explain later but for now we have to kill the zombies and whoever is controlling them." I said turning around seeing all of their naked bodies.
"You idiot, don't turn around when we are getting out of the bath. Y-y-y-you pervert." Yelled Sally as her face started turning red running up to me slapping me in the face.
"Sorry, I thought you had towels on." I said looking at her body.
She didn't notice and she followed them into the change room to change into their clothes. I turn around and faced the direction of the zombies with both the pistols in both of my hands with the diamond sword on my back.
(Sally's PoV)
I can't believe that he would just turn around like that. I didn't want him to see me like that. I didn't want him to see me at all. I just makes me so angry that he would do that knowing that we were all naked. Maybe that zombie thing was a lie just so that he could peek at us in the bath. But in the ten years that I've known him, he hasn't told me a single lie yet. All of this is just so confusing right now with the world traveling, saving the world, and the bath incident that just happened.
I must have been thinking about this too deeply because Alice walked up to me and started a conversation.
"Hey what's going on, it looks like your deep in thought. Or maybe it's because the boy you like saw you naked." Said Alice trying to tease me like she always does. "Well don't dwell on it because everyone else here seems like they got over it so you should too, even if you really like him."
"Why do you keep saying I like him? Sure we're around each other most of the time and I usually start our conversations but it doesn't mean I like him it just means that we're good childhood friends, thats all. Nothing more, nothing less." I said in retaliation of her comment before even though I actually do like him since he always tried to protect me when I was being picked on. "Since we're talking about liking someone I can tell that you like Helcomec since you are always looking at him when you have the chance to and you also follow him around most of the time we were here. So do you like him or not."
"Yeah, I do like him. He always looks so cool when he fights and also he's always nice to other people even though I think that he feels awkward." Alice said blushing a little. "Why did you want to know I thought that you didn't like him, that he was just a childhood friend."
"Well maybe I like him a little but, I just wanted you to know that he was the boy that you deceived last year." I told her. "If you don't remember what I mean then I'm talking about when you led him out to the courtyard of our school to get ganged up on and being hanged up on the flag post making him lose all of his friends and social life."
"That was him. He looked a lot different from when I remember him. Back then he seemed more weaker than he is now." She said.
"That's because it was to hide his secret that he was actually strong and that he could have actually beaten that group up. Just because he had to keep it a secret he didn't use it and lose his social standing. After that he was scared to trust girls but after he went to the previous world we were in I think he's starting to trust girls more." I explained to her.
"I didn't know that he had this power as his secret. Now he's trying his best to protect us so we should be helping him out too." She said rushing to get dressed. "I'm going to fix that mistake by protecting him and I won't lose to you for his heart."
I guess this was a good thing because I'm starting to feel a bit better. I rushed to get ready to and Rias gave me a sword when we headed towards the wood that Helcomec found the zombies in.
(Helcomec's PoV)
I used up four magazines trying to kill these zombies but they just won't stop coming out of the woods. I only had two more magazines left that were full of bullets. I enhanced them with explosion magic and loaded them into the pistols. I have enough to kill eighteen more zombies though. I unsheathed my diamond sword and used telekinesis to make it float, so now I have three projectiles to use. The only problem is that some of the risen and the elite Kabane are fast enough to dodge the bullets and block the diamond sword. I tried looking for a solution to take them down before the girls and the other guys get here but, playing out this battle in my head I need them to back me up quickly or else I'm dead meat.
