Shadic here to talk about this...you know, I'm actually running out of ideas to place as filler in this thing...if you have an idea of something I can perhaps mention please feel free...or I could always talk about my life
Histoire: I don't believe they'll be that interest in it
Fair point...ah duck it, I'll simply put my normal life with the CPUs if I don't have anything worth saying.
Let's review the re- (accidently bits tongue)...it hurts...you know the deal.
For this one since it's two reviews I'll divide them, hope you don't mind.
Kirigiriko (chapter 23): Don't be sorry, it's always up to you if you want to review or not, but thanks, it's really appreciated. No, this time it isn't the case with this Mukuro, sorry if you thought it was, I would explain but that would be spoiler, and yes it had something to do with the vision Purple had at the store. Thanks, that was my point with that battle since nobody was waiting anything out of it, of course next time she appears more people will wait more out of her so more job to do, and who wouldn't feel bad...Nisa is kind of OP in this world...forgot to say it. Yes, thanks for noticing that reference to All Might's entrance from the Heroine side, and maybe it's Arfie so maybe it's a yes.
Blanc: Shadic, everyone is thinking she is Arfoire, just admit it. I mean, even the mouse is with her.
...Isn't that Vert? (Angry Blanc carrying hammer leaves screen to find her friend) Welp, one problem less.
Kirigiriko (chapter 24): I'm glad you are satisfied, if it helps and since I don't consider it spoiler, Arfoire will be one of the characters with more importance in next arc so you'll really enjoy her in there, answering the question of how she cope with those mean things well...it's an in-part of those two. By the point Noire confirmed her she would participate in the console war, she simply had lost all reason to shed tears as she knew she had already failed as both tutor and mother. No, she did buy Purple's ability...sorry, she doesn't work well without coffee. You're welcome for that funny scene, answering the question of the numbers is hard. They are in this thing because of something serious (except #1 who was forced by G.G to be in this thing) but to G.G, the reason is quite different. And every time they successfully discover the identity of one of their partners they have the right to ask G.G a favor more than an order, and she'll do it as long as it isn't something excessive...yes, she is single but has no current interest. As of now guess you can say Arfoire is asexual but only because she is completely focused on what's going on, and once that ends you may have a chance with her...go for it, tiger.
3 Questions Marks:...I'll see what I can do, and if I can do it but I don't think it may happen.
Yuhitsu: She is but it doesn't mean she can't fall for someone and try to show it (can this as a possible spoiler?...Nah, with her actions of last chapter it should be obvious what Compa feels for Purple), stupidity would work better but she would deny it saying that idiocy fits her better so that's it
DavianThule19: Low-level tsundere meant more as of Low-class rather than actual level, so in part yes but no. Thank you for loving the tittles, I'm sure you'll enjoy it when those two meet, I know those things are expensive
G.G: Why do you think I stole them?
Thank you for your review
Also, I don't know if it's necessary to say this but better do it. Not of the songs/OSTs belong to me.
Let's begin.

PLAYING PURPLE'S STORY
"HYA!" a lilac hair Goddess wearing a black sleeveless shirt and black pants along shoes of the same color and bandages on both hands just slashed a blue color slime with a dog face and ears, and tentacles on its lower zone, killing it.
The reason she was doing that was because she was inside a cave mostly illuminated by color crystals, and she had gone there to save a child that was trapped inside.
She didn't need her weapon to take down that monster but she took a shower just a few hours ago and getting all dirty thanks to a single monster wouldn't be a good excuse for her friend, IF, who is the one of the team in doing the laundry.
"…" Purple stopped whatever she was doing and suddenly look around the cave, confused.
-What's wrong?-
"…Do you remember…when we got here?"
A dumb question with a simple answer, yes just something someone like Purple could even think in actually asking.
-Well, we arrived like two or three minutes ago, after leaving the city in the direction Compa told us, why?-
"…Nothing, it's just me imagination"
-"MY imagination"-
"Yeah, just that" the Goddess on the inside felt weird, she did remember that happened but, something simply felt wrong…in the end she simply shrugged and continued moving forward focusing on the trapped child.
They continued walking until they found…the remaining of probably what used to be a Fenrir.
-Its somehow still alive, otherwise it would have blown into data, put it out of its misery-
Purple did as told with her cursed Katana, she looked down at the floor and sighed she returned her glare to the front and found…a black piece of cloth that didn't belong to her. The realization hit her as hard as a deer stopping in mid-road at seeing the lights of a car "Oh no"
-Run-
(INSERT HNI OST: DREAD)
Steps started echoing in the cave, Purple took a defensive stance with her Katana in hand as she looked everywhere for the person creating that noise 'Can't run anymore. Orange, probabilities of survival'
-Not so high, even if we do what IF told us to, there's no place we can use to hide this dungeon-
The lilac hair Goddess sweated and gulped of knowing she was caged in a dungeon with one of the people she feared the worse, and also knowing that playing dead may not save her this time.
"Hello Purple" Black Heart allowed said person to turn around and see her in her usual HDD "I apologize about the Fenrir, I was taking a little nap when that thing decided to attack me, it tore a part of my processor unit so I got kind of mad"
"Don't worry about it…hey Noire" Purple took her time to also greet her casually but nervous "What brings you here?"
"The trapped child, I already saved him. Turns out he wanted to become a Guild member since he didn't worship me, I had a really serious talk with him before bringing him to his mother who finished lecturing him" explained Noire with a serious expression.
"In that case, guess Me-I don't need to reasons to be here anymore…bye-bye" she turned around and was about to run like there was no tomorrow however, Black Heart placed a hand on her shoulder with enough strength to make sure the Goddess wouldn't escape.
"Stop trying to delay the inevitable" she sounded serious but…hesitant at the same time "I was about to place the quest as completed, and that's when I saw you accepted the quest as well, that is the only reason I stayed here to take a nap…I want us to end what we started once and for fricking all. I want to kill you at your best, in your HDD! And if you don't want to fight me…"
-Move!-
Jumping to the front, Purple felt how the giant blade, that Black Heart was using, grazed her shirt leaving no cut in it but if she had the jacket, that WOULD have been cut.
'Good thing I left the jacket back at the inn!'
-That's what you're worried about!?-
Noire took her sword with both hands and aimed at Purple "Then I'll kill you at your worse even if it means throwing my pride to the trash!"
(END OF OST)
.
SHOWDOWN HAS BEGUN
Despite the battle just starting, Purple tried to sprint away but Black Heart appeared in front of her and delivered another slash that luckily only cut the air thanks to the lilac hair Goddess giving a light jump to the back.
"I don't want to fight you!" screamed Purple landing on her feet "Can't we just talk thinks out!?"
-"Things"-
'Whatever!'
"No" calmly answered Black Heart taking flight in the air with sword in both hands "Volcano Drive!"
-Dodge it!-
'No time to move got to cover!' thought Purple placing her cursed Katana on top of her, in perfect position to parry the attack.
In a flash of a moment, both Noire's and Purple's weapons were in a lock, the lilac hair CPU had somehow managed to parry it, but, it was strange, in her mind she pictured her sword breaking.
"Don't you know it's called Volcano Drive for a reason?" asked Black Heart coldly.
Purple looked below her and saw that the ground she was standing in was opening a little, and from it a fire tornado emerged "AAAHHH!" the Goddess screamed in pain, feeling her flesh burn.
The skill died and with it Purple fell to the ground practically defeated, and her clothes were somehow more black of what they were already, and despite this pain, Purple was still awake thanks to the time she spent training that made her resistant enough to not lose with just that.
If Noire had used that ability the first time they met she would have killed her. The only reason "Infinite Slash" didn't kill her back then was because Black Heart thought she would move to the side so she reduced the skill ability down to 3% of what it originally was.
-Kid! Stand up you gotta run!-
'Me can't…my body…burns and hurts…a lot'
"You became stronger, otherwise you'd be dead already, but I guess I did overestimate what you would be able to do" said Noire pulling her by the hair to a wall where she grabbed the Goddess's cursed Katana, and lifted Purple by the throat with so much strength her claws were almost piercing it "look at you, the once so called Goddess of strength reduced to this" she smirked before raising the cursed Katana "And now, it'll be your own weapon what will kill you, pretty ironic huh, well" she stopped talking for a moment "Guess this is goodbye, huh" she readied to kill her opponent "Sayonara, see you on the other side, my sister"
Just as she was about to deliver the finishing blow a sandworm came out of the ground and bite one of her legs "What!?" she noticed the creature was trying to devour it "Okay, you die first!"
She deliver her slash at the creature just for another one to pop out of the ground and catch her wrist before she killed the first sandworm, naturally she let go of the weapon as she didn't expect another one to simply capture her arm, basically she was caught off guard.
"You little…Stop eating me!" she let go of Purple to try and summon her big sword with her free hand but the moment she started materializing it, a third Sandworm erupted from the ground and caught her hand "Are you kidding me!"
Meanwhile, Purple was watching as she struggled against so many monsters, and remembered something about her sword.
"Every time someone buys this sword they return it the next day or a week later as much because they either suffer a mysterious event that left them damaged forever or because they die"
It appeared that her cursed sword, Noroi, was now acting like its name said.
-If nothing happened to you, then I guess it means it accepts you but not her, because this is simply too much coincidence to be true-
'Agreed!' she quickly (as fast as she could go) grabbed her sword and took her leave by literally running (limping) away from the zone while the Sandworms kept her busy, using the wall as a support.
"Die and never respawn!" the place's temperature started increasing, and when Purple turned to see the center of it, she saw Black Heart's body being enveloped by flames burning to death the monsters that were attacking her in matter of instants all of them turning to data and vanish. She panted a bit before glaring at the lilac hair Goddess "This was the last time you make fun of me!"
-Screw it, use the superior mode!-
"Superior mo-
She wasn't able to finish thanks to a giant blade being stabbed in her left arm and impaled all the way to the wall she was using to move, screaming in pain, and blood dripping out of it.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" asked Noire coldly with anger on her eyes "Multiply this pain by a hundred and it still won't be close to what YOU did to me"
Purple started losing consciousness, receiving a skill like Volcano Drive full, plus being stabbed shortly after that, had drained most of her energy. Even if Purple Heart said that they share the pain, it didn't take away the fact they were still around 40 levels below Black Heart. Purple started closing her eyes but re-opened them at the feeling of her skin burning as she began screaming again.
Noire had lifted Purple's shirt and placed her free hand on the right side of her torso as her body started practically burning "You should know it, every Goddess has an element they are extremely well with, in my case is fire, and surely enough I know how to use it to the point I can increase the temperature of my own body at will, increasing up to the 450 centigrade" the white haired Goddess didn't have a smile but one could easily say she was enjoying it "Don't think I'll give you the luxury of fainting"
The lilac hair CPU didn't know what to do, one of her arms was practically numb because of a gian sword stabbed in it, and she didn't have enough strength to raise the other one and fire an electric shot at Noire. As of now, only one thought ran in her mind 'How was I able to fight a monster like her before?" she didn't get it, from where did she get the courage to battle Noire before losing her memories, especially because she knew that she was still saving something, as if she was actually being nice to her.
It scared her to not know the answer to her question, and she would get more strength once she remembers said answer. After all, to battle a monster, you must become a worse monster.
-Don't get scared! You have to survive, there's still a chance! Please…don't give up!-
'Easier said than done' thought Purple in between screams 'Be honest, do you honestly believe ME-I can win even with HDD!?'
It was obvious, even with all the training she had done, trying to compare their powers would be a sin in all the meaning of the word.
Black Heart stopped holding her sword and raised her fist aiming at Purple's face "The fun has just begun" as she was about to throw her punch, someone grabbed her wrist, she turned around and found a person wearing a black robe, they were smaller than her but just a tiny bit taller than Purple, perhaps a centimeter or two, and that's all Noire could make out of this person "who are you?"
"G.G" she had a voice filter but it was made to sound female so she only guessed this person was a girl.
"…Good Game?"
"What? No! Why does everyone think it means that?" wondered G.G on loud voice "Anyways, I have an offer to make you, Lady Black Heart"
"Not interested in whatever it can be" replied the Goddess breaking the grip G.G had on her 'She is though, maybe she's another bodyguard of Purple"
"Then at least let me ask you this question. Would you rather become the True Goddess of this world…or the Deity of this world?"
Noire turned around facing them as she finally stopped hurting the lilac hair CPU who lost consciousness immediately "You have my attention, don't lose it"
If she could see G.G's face, she would see nothing but a grin "Have you ever heard of the Deity of Sin?"
It was this question that made Noire take a decision that would change her forever.
PURPLE HAS FAINTED…AGAIN
IF and Compa were in a cave with the same design of the one their friend was supposed to be investigating to find a lost kid, just that they were doing it to find a member of Avenir who got trapped in there.
"Do you think he/she is fine?" asked the nurse in training nervous for the security of the person they were looking for
"Yeah, according to the report, he is staying in a zone where monsters don't spawn" answered IF looking up a head to see a giant train crashed in a wall "Guess we arrived to the place. Hey! Anyone in here!"
"Yes" a man got down of the train he was Ganache, the one they met yesterday, and wearing the same clothes "Oh, it's you two, what a coincidence" he gladly and nicely greeted them.
"Agreed, what happened here?" asked the brunette.
"Well, I was doing a little business trip, and when I ended it I decided to come back but well, you see what occurred to this train" explained Ganache cleaning his glasses "Ms. Purple didn't come with you, I see"
"You know Pur-Pur?"
"Not in person, but when you completed the mission of before I decided to take a quick look at you considering the good job you made in case we had another problem we could count with you again, and that's when I came with the existence of your friend"
He had actually looked into her full profile from the moment she entered Lastation however, he didn't need to give information he wasn't asked to give. So yes, he knew about her having been in the hospital for a week.
"Really, but with what missions would we do? I mean the Tech Expo was cancelled-
"It was but, in a few hours it'll be resumed" interrupted Ganache
"What do you mean?" asked Compa shyly
"What I said, in a few hours a public announcement will be made where the Lastation Basilicom will resume the activities referring to that Expo after apologizing again for canceling it in vain"
"Then it means that-
"Come on Compa, this is no place to talk, we must go back, we can talk later about this" stated the Guild member turning around.
"Actually, I can go on my own from now on" both girls looked at him with confusion "Since you two are here, it means you should have eliminated all the monsters around. Meaning: I can leave since there's nothing that can harm me anymore"
"…" Compa thought about it and realized it was truth.
"…That's a good point. The monster respawning usually takes around an hour so, that's about it"
"Thank you for saving me, I'll make sure to pay you properly when I get back. Goodbye" Ganache walked away with all the calm of the world "Don't lose time looking for others inside the train, it's completely automatic!" he yelled at the distance.
The two humans stayed in the same place for a minute, checking the place to make sure that there wasn't a monster hidden that could attack them by the back.
"Miss IF, I think we have finished the quest…okay, we must go and tell Miss Chian about this!" said Compa taking a deep breath, glad that they weren't too late.
"Alright, let's-…who's there!?" exclaimed IF with her handgun in hands.
(INSERT ASHITA NO JOE OST: SU NOMBRE TORU RIKISHI)
Steps were being heard by both humans coming in the direction the Guild member was looking at.
"Please put your weapon down, as I have come to talk" from the shadows emerged Black Heart, but it wasn't the same one as right now she was wearing the grey suit with her hair in twin-tails rather than her black one piece suit with free hair.
"B-Black Heart!?" IF was honestly about to pull the trigger however, she stopped at seeing that the person she was aiming not only didn't have any weapon on her but also her mind just remembered seeing her on the first day they were here in Lastation, along with having seen her back then in Planeptune "Wait, you are the one who doesn't want to kill us, aren't you?"
"Correct, and would you please put your weapon down? I did not come here to do something as dumb and childish as to start a battle with no real objective"
'I wish the real Black Heart was like this' "If that's the case then please go back to your human form"
"As you wish"
FLASH
In matter of seconds the Noire that they consider the one form their team appeared "…Surely takes a while to do that, anyways, I came to join your party"
"…Excuse us?" IF wasn't sure if she heard correctly or not, and was not going to do like she didn't hear that really nice offer.
"Welcome to the team, Lady Black Heart" Compa already invited her in.
"W-wait, remember I'm the leader and the one who makes the decisions" said IF doing a little "Ahem" before looking at the raven hair Goddess(?) "Why the sudden interest in joining?"
"…Because like you, I have the objective to take down #1 and the rest of his partners"
"…" IF closed her eyes analyzing her answer.
Compa watched as her friend stayed in silence doing nothing but thinking.
The other Noire simply played with the edges of her skirt a bit to pass time before the brunette gives her final word.
"…You're in, but if I have the most minimum feeling you'll betray us, then I'm gonna do my best to kill you" IF sounded cold, she was cold about this, sure this Noire did help them before, but after seeing what the real Noire did to her friend, she simply couldn't keep trusting in her like if they were B.F.F.
"Don't worry I wasn't planning to do anything like that. If I had planned it I would have done it when she was on the hospital" she gave them a point, actually, they didn't know why Noire didn't kill Purple when she was on the hospital being completely defenseless…well, if rumors got out that the CPU went inside of a room and the patient in there died all of sudden, it wouldn't be good for her, but this one didn't appear to have that problem like at all "Let's go back, I must warn her about something before I take my time to teach her and you stuff that you need to know for the upcoming dangers"
The other Noire started walking away until she turned back to see the humans looking at her "Come on, we don't have all day, especially with her being near Purple"
"Who?" asked Compa worried at this her
"…Someone despicable, mean, evil, diabolic, merciless, childish," she gritted her teeth at remembering the face of the woman she hates "and the monster I helped-…no. The monster I created"
(END OST)
A groan, that's the first sound a young(?) girl called Purple did while opening her eyes, she was on the ground of the same dungeon Black Heart kicked her ass…or more like humiliated her "I'm…still alive…?"
"Yep, surely you are, mi amiga" the lilac hair Goddess turned her head to the right to see a girl wearing a black robe sitting beside her "man, it surely took a while to deal with that bimbo…don't tell her I called her like that"
"What's a bimbo?"
"Eh…it's a mark of bread" answered the robed girl remembering having seen that in one of her many trips…to where? It's a secret "Whatever, and how are you feeling?"
"…" Purple tried to sit but failed, her body was still sore from earlier, all she knew could tell was that Noire was about to kill her when this girl came out of nowhere and saved her.
The girl stared at the lilac hair Goddess for a moment before taking out a bottle filled with a potion "Drink this, it's an elixir from a land far away from here, it'll help you"
After Purple managed to drink the elixir, with the help of the mysterious girl, she felt her body go back to life, in no time she jumped on her feet and all the pain in her body vanished. She looked below her shirt and the place that was stab only had a little scar in there (seriously if she keeps getting those at the end there'll be more scars than skin on her body), and only the mark of burnt in the place Noire practically incinerated to keep her awake.
"Thanks for saving me"
"No worries bucko, the name's G.G"
"Purple" both girls shared a handshake at first meeting 'Orange, you in there?'
-Sorry, I fainted. I decided to take a part of your pain as well, didn't think this would happen-
'I should be the one to apologize, Me-I lost without being able to do anything even with all that training' a tear escaped from her left eye, it was shed thanks to her feeling useless, everything she did with Purple Heart was just for this moment and she allowed fear to take over her.
"Mh?" G.G noticed the tear escaping from Purple's eye, she wiped it off using one of her hands, this cause the lilac hair Goddess to look at her "Don't cry over a lose it's pathetic, no one has the right to possibly blame you for falling, as long as you stand up it'll be fine. Remember this: People who fall and stand up are far more worth respecting than those that have never fell in their lives" G.G stood up and offered a hand to Purple "Every time you fall, stand up, the own fact of having done that will make you stronger than you were before. I have lived it"
Purple still didn't know if taking her hand or not, from her point of view she was not seeing G.G offering her a hand. She was seeing Noire waiting for her to stand up.
The robed girl noticed the hesitation in her eyes, she was scared no doubt about it "Listen, fear is something all humans have, it's up to you which meaning you take. Forget Everything And Run…or Face Everything And Rise. Which do you take? No one will have the right to judge you on your decision"
Purple tried to look on her eyes even when she had the hoodie of the robe on, and she was able to tell something, she went through a stage on her life where she took the same decision and from the looks of it, the Goddess was able to tell which one she chose.
G.G was surprised to see Purple taking her hand and standing up with her help "…We'll meet again. Good luck on your journey that has just begun" the robed person walked away not expecting anything else from the lilac hair Goddess, she had already taken the option she found better and with that, there was no reason for her to be there anymore.
-…I'm amazed, never have I believed someone like her could exist…have I met her before? Nah…I would remember it-
'Let's go Orange, we have to prepare for our battle…we'll save Peashy. As of now, that's or only goal"
-"our"-
"That thing" Purple chuckled a bit before walking away, she has to return to the inn to inform what happened to her friends…even if they didn't believe a word she said.
IF, Compa and the other Noire were in front of Chian's place, as of now they were going to tell her what they found.
"Why are you wearing that?" asked the brunette looking at the other Black Heart's glasses
"Just wait for it" was her answer, she opened the door and entered seeing a great disaster, some tables were upside down the floor was filled with liquids, some of them being juices, sodas, water, and some adult drinks…an absolute disaster, and in the middle of it all, was Chian with her head on her knees and on the floor.
"…" IF knew that Chian was having a bad time but this was too much.
"…" Compa was on her same situation and yet "Miss Chian?"
Said woman turned to see them, and with that they could see Chian with eye bags, a smile that only said how drunk she was and her eyes were red from all the crying "Compa~ Iffy~ Lady Black Heart~…"Hic" join me in a drink…"Hic""
She was worse of what they could have believed.
"Compa, and I are underage" informed the Guild member
"It'll just be a little sip "Hic" nobody has to know~ "Hic""
"...Is she always like this?" asked the other Noire gaining a shook from the girls ""Ahem" Listen to me, huma-Miss Chian, snap out of it!"
"Wahh~ Lady Black Heart scolded me~" she sounded like a little kid playing a game "I wonder "Hic" what'll be my punishment~ are you going to use me to satisfy your carnal needs~? "Hic""
"…That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all"
IF quickly smacked her head "Don't take advantage of her!"
"Sorry" she walked closer to the woman until she was on her side, looking her straight face to face "If you start acting like a good child, there will be a reward" she said in a little seductive accent
'What the hell is wrong with this scene?' wondered IF
"…"Hic" okay, I'll prepare a table…for "Hic" 3 people~"
"Include yourself, and take a glass of water to try and recover" ordered the other Noire gaining a nod from Chian, who started to limping her way to the kitchen "IF, please"
"You didn't need to tell me" the brunette soon followed after the woman, getting to her and helping her make her way to the place they were going.
30 MINUTES LATER
IF re-entered the room carrying Chian that at least looked aware of what was happening around her, Compa and the other Noire were sitting on a table they put back up, cleaned and placed the chairs it had originally.
"I apologize for my past attitude towards you" said Chian with a frown looking at the other Black Heart.
"It matters nothing to me, they are the ones you should apologize to" said the Goddess with no real interest in what was going on "And also, I'm not Black Heart, I'm just a super fan of hers"
"That explains a few stuff" the woman took a seat in front of the other Noire and IF sat beside Chian being in front of Compa "…First of all, sorry for having this place as a mess, and sorry for having received you like…that, and sorry for…suggesting doing "that" with you"
"Seriously, you should learn to control that and be careful to who you say it" the other Noire would have kept lecturing her but, she wasn't in position to do that 'Though, I honestly would have no problem, she is really cute when she is like this, of course I'll never admit that'
"Alright, Chian, we have awesome news that will make you change for good!" announced the brunette excited.
"Avenir broke!?"
"No, not that good" IF took a few look around before spotting a radio "Why don't you hear it for yourself?"
The brunette turned it on and started searching for the correct station.
"-and that's why you must never underestimate the basic guide of monsters for adventurers and Guild members. On other news it appears that Lastation's Tech Expo will be resumed after having quickly solved the problem that interrupted the event, all thanks to the help of Lady Black Heart. Lastation's new Oracle has presented a public apology for it, and wishes all the companies their best on this competence"
"…" Chian was processing this information "…Compa, IF. Slap me"
"Excuse me?" Compa wasn't quite sure if she heard correctly.
Meanwhile, the brunette simply went on and did it.
"Miss IF!"
"What? Somebody tells me to either smack them or slap them and I don't doubt, I act" explained IF shrugging off.
"Thanks, now, Let's clean this mess up, we have work to do!" exclaimed the woman standing up "No, actually, you already helped with just bringing me this information, I don't know from where you got it but I'm sure that it wasn't a Basilicom member the one who gave it to you, right?"
"No, it was someone from Avenir"
"…I see, can I please ask you to investigate about it? It simply sounds too suspicious that they have that kind of information"
"And that's not all" interrupted the other Noire "I have investigated my share about them and come to realize they were preparing for this Expo for the last 3 years"
"3 years? There's something wrong with that, I mean, they only say the topic for the Tech Expo with half a year of anticipation, how could they possibly know it?"
"What if…Avenir either stole that information…or bought it" thought IF on loud voice "What if the Basilicom has been giving them all the information they want!"
"That would explain why they haven't done anything about them, even when they simply continue to build factories when there's no place in the city to do it anymore, and as to why would they send someone of the Basilicom to pick up the monster you captured yesterday"
"You are forgetting the little fact we have no evidence whatsoever of this" reminded the other Noire to them.
"…Miss Chian, do you know of any heretic in Lastation's Basilicom?" asked Compa
"I think I heard about how Lady Black Heart found one and fired him a few days ago however, it is just a rumor, why?"
"If he was fired a few days ago, then it means he could have the information we could be looking for" explained the nurse in training. Everyone present was staring at her, eyes widened "Is something wrong?"
"You can elaborate a plan like that?" asked IF surprised
"I thought she was nothing but an air-headed, but it looks like I was wrong" commented the other Noire.
"Same here" and now it was Chian's turn to be surprised.
COMPA'S TITTLE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO "SEMI AIR-HEADED NURSE"
"Even my tittle changed?"
"Anyways, that is indeed a good plan, if we manage to see if our theory is correct we could get Black Heart to fire everyone who has been giving information to Avenir, and even close that company" explained IF with a smirk "Chian, try to investigate about this guy and send me the information by tomorrow, and after we investigate we'll come with you to discuss our next move"
"You got yourself a deal" Chian looked for her cellphone and started making some calls "Yeah, it's me, we can still save Passe, listen I need you to look for a heretic fired from the Basilicom…yeah, just as it sounded, and also, get everyone ready. We are finishing our project for the Tech Expo"
"IT HURTS!" screamed the Heroine of Justice while she was being forced to stand on her bare hands, which are on burning coal, Nisa was wearing her usual suit but with Band-Aids covering most of her face and the handcuff of her right hand was tied to her arm with tape to prevent it from getting burnt, all this while a woman wearing a brown robe placed a metal chair on her feet thanks to her legs that were stretched, to add more weight into her and make her hands burn more.
"This is your punishment for disobeying me" said the robed woman searching for something else to place on top of the chair, after getting tired on not finding anything she went on and sat in the chair adding even more weight to poor Nisa "Stay like this for three hours"
"T-THREE HOURS!? I'll die!"
"It'll mean you simply were too weak" replied the woman not really interest in the Heroine as she had materialized a magazine about cooking "Oh right, Pirachu place an alarm in three hours so we're sure she isn't skipping time"
A big mouse entered the room with a clock "As you say not-so-old-hag" he placed the timer and then climb on top of Nisa to lay on the woman's lap where he fell asleep.
"Sensei, I know I kind of didn't follow your instructions but isn't this like TOO much?" asked Nisa trying to sound calm even with the pain she was feeling.
"Did you land a hit on #2?" Nisa was about to answer a yes, because of all the bullets that woman received "That did hurt her" and with that her happiness turned into a frown accompanied with a loud sighing and groans "That's what I thought, and after this be prepared for a more hardcore training. In four days we're taking down one of the numbers"
"Really!? Which?"
"#1, physically speaking he isn't that awesome, but surely enough he has tricks under his wrist or something like that" she skipped to the next page of her magazine where she found a recipe for smash potatoes with some roasted turkey leg "I know what we're dinning tonight"
Nisa tried to look up "What thing, sensei?"
"For you: a vegetable soup as for me and little Pirachu a really extravagant dinner. You are on a diet, don't forget it"
"…I honestly don't know if hating you or loving you"
"A bit of both" answered the not-so-old-hag with some saliva forming on her mouth from imagining the dinner with a smile.
"We're back" announced Purple entering to the room she was using at the inn she and her friends were staying. Inside she saw Compa and IF playing cards.
"Pur-Pur, you're here!" exclaimed the nurse in training tackling her friend to the ground "You had us worried!"
-So worried that they were playing…I don't know, poker?-
"Don't take us wrong because of this, she pretty much suggested to play it while we waited for you" stated the brunette not trying to look like the bad guy '…we?'
"Who?" asked the lilac hair Goddess, realizing someone else was on the room
(INSERT ASHITA NO JOE OST: SU NOMBRE TORU RIKISHI)
"Me" it was the other Noire that helped her back then, only that she was wearing glasses.
Purple was about to ask about them but IF beat her to it "She is wearing them because like that it'll be easier to say that she is a cosplayer of Black Heart"
"Oh" with that, Compa helped the lilac hair Goddess to stand on her feet, and Purple walked to the other Noire extending her hand for a handshake "hey the-
The other Noire punched her in the stomach "Sorry, my hand slipped"
"Why do Me-I feel like I deserved it?" asked Purple falling on top of the other Noire who used her body as support for the lilac hair Goddess to not fall.
"I came here to offer my aid, not for free of course"
IF walked to Purple and got her back up before holding up her right arm, while Compa held her left one "Forgive us for this Purple"
"Lady Black Heart said that in exchange for joining us she wanted to punch you in the face" explained the nurse in training.
"Huh…EH!?" Purple tried to break her bindings but none of her friends let her go.
"Stay still and think of how much help she'll give us, as much you'll faint but it'll be fine" the brunette tried to reassure Purple so she would stop putting resistance.
"Yeah, this is for the good of the team Pur-Pur, and sacrificing a tooth or two will help us"
-Hate to break it to you but, they are right-
"I have second thoughts on this!" yelled the Goddess in panic.
"Guess what?" the other Noire stepped to be in front of her "Nobody cares" she proceeded to punch the Goddess on the face with all her strength literally burying her fist in it, a moment later she took it out and Purple's mouth left out some blood, and her nose broken "I made sure to not break your teeth so you be glad about it"
"…Thanks…" she closed her eyes again and once again, entered dreamland
