Again posting late, sorry
I had three problems:
1. When I was almost finished, I had to redo it because I didn't like it.
2. I had to redo the ending because I didn't like it either.
3. Yesterday my head hurt too much to finish translating it into English.
I personally like the idea of a "different" yandere (I think). A yandere who would never kill her/him partner or harm her/him but is very loving with her girl/boyfriend.
"Ah, Great Master Yuuki Kagurazaka. I didn't think that you would need my services so soo... Guh!". The man was unable to finish his sentence as surprisingly strong fingers grasped his windpipe, cutting off his air supply.
"You lied to me". Rage exuded from every word "Runa-chan was unconscious for two days. You told me that it would only be a slight pain". After a last squeeze Yuuki released the Majin seeing, behind his bangs, how Laplace put his hands around his neck and coughed a couple of times.
Laplace raised his head, still touching the affected area. "The connection must have been stronger than we expected". He gulped as he slowly rose from the ground. "Accidents do happen". He had to admit that Yuuki had a more volatile nature than he had expected.
The brunette grunted before taking a seat at his desk. "If I had someone else...". He glared at Laplace before leaning back against the chair, pushing his hair back.
The harlequin gulped, grateful that he had decided to come alone. He was an important asset to the man in front of him, but Tear or Footman were expendable in Yuuki's eyes… Laplace didn't doubt that he had eliminated them in his rage.
"know! As a punishment I will reduce your payment... 10%. Any complaints?". Yuuki looked cheerful again, hiding his true feelings behind a smile. He really wanted to see his expensive and beautiful carpet turn red.
"No sir…". The red-haired man hid his sneer behind his infallible mask. He really hoped that would never have to collaborate with such a monster that he called himself human. Clearing his throat, he returned to a relaxed posture. "Why did you require my services, Grand Master?".
"I almost forgot! We need to speed up the process, I'm getting tired of waiting. I want Runa to be only mine, I want them to stop interfering, and I want to see results in a damn time. I don't want to think you're lying to me, Laplace".
The named felt like backing down, as he could feel the madness that he exuded from the man. Yuuki Kagurazaka was truly mad, mad for love. Rimuru Tempest had to have done something unforgivable in his previous life to gain that monster's attention.
Thinking carefully about each of his words because Laplace knew himself in danger, he opened his mouth. "There is a way... but your princess can be... unstable". Before Yuuki's body language he hurried to correct himself "In her character, it would not imply anything that would hurt her as with... The Great Sage".
The brunette relaxed in his seat, crossing his legs and resting his chin on his closed fist "If the result is positive, I'll put up with what it takes. I only care about the result, the end justifies the means, right?".
"Indeed". Feeling more secure, Laplace dared to close the distance between them, sitting on the edge of the oak table. "I have something that might interest you".
Before Yuuki's gesture of approval, he extended his hand, appearing, between his fingers, a small vial filled to the brim with a bluish liquid "This little one is twice as concentrated as our predecessor".
"I want all the details: smell, taste, drawbacks, side effects. I need to know everything". His eyes were focused on the vial Laplace held so carefully.
"It's called Pulchra dormiens or Sleeping Beauty, a name given by our lovely Tear. I consider that it is quite appropriate for her addressee and…". He smiled nervously at the other man's body language; he would have to avoid rambling. Yuuki didn't seem to be in the right mood.
Laplace cleared his throat before continuing with more important explanations, unwilling to try his luck. He wanted to get out of there with all his limbs and his head on his shoulders "It's odorless and, as far as I know, it mixes perfectly with other foods. Maybe add a little fruity touch. I advise you to mix it with desserts".
Yuuki had leaned his elbows on the wood, his head on his clasped hands and taking a mental note of everything Laplace said. He also knew that his always faithful secretary, in some form or another, was listening to them and taking notes.
"And, as already... we chatted previously, the biggest inconvenience that your princess is going to have are strong and unstable mood swings. Since this stage is usually followed right at the end of the transformation. Which would normally take a year".
"With the interference from the Tempest trash, I don't have that time". Kagurazaka put special emphasis on the negative part, frowning again.
"Oh, but don't worry! The process will only take three months, Great Master. In addition, you can always use other methods to keep them at bay... If the city ceases to exist there will be no problem... but that's just an idea". Laplace bowed gracefully at the end of his sentence.
A shadow crossed the brunette's eyes, as if he was seriously considering the total annihilation of Tempest "It's an idea… interesting. Although it would require a lot of planning". Yuuki fell into a thoughtful silence, before leaning back against the back of his chair. "I want to know the side effects of that."
"Well, Runa-chan may not reach all physical development; I mean, her body would be more childish than expected. More or less the current aspect of her". Laplace didn't expect this to upset or worry Yuuki, as he had the impression that the man was a bit lolicon.
"And that's all? Um... There doesn't seem to be a major problem. Runa-chan's appearance is fine as it is". The brunette smiled as he thought about the girl, how short and adorable she was. He definitely didn't have any complaints.
"Regarding the supplies that Runa will need… It will be one vial a day, with the contents divided between breakfast, lunch and dinner. I suggest the collaboration of the inestimable cavalry of the Church of the Saints of the West for your tight schedule".
"And the price? Do not expect something too high after your lack of before. Don't think that I'lI forgot about it". Yuuki's eyes flashed dangerously again.
Laplace gulped before hiding his nervousness. "That won't be a problem!" He handed Yuuki the first vial, the same one he had between his fingers "Because it's about you, the price will be the same as the less concentrated doses". The harlequin was almost crying internally from the losses, Tear and Footman wouldn't be happy about that.
The Great Master lightly stirred the bluish liquid, watching it curiously. After a few seconds he put it, safely, in the inside pocket of his white jacket "You can leave. I hope to see you daily for the delivery of the vials, make sure that as few people as possible see you".
"Yes, sir". With a bow Laplace disappeared, as if that conversation had never happened. Yuuki got up from the chair, stretching and going towards one of the mangas that he had half. Luckily, he had almost a free hour to spare before he could go home.
Although Yuuki wasn't able to focus too much on any of the pages, the little vial seemed to want to claim his full attention. Ah… he really wanted to go home and be with his sweet Runa-chan.
Making up his mind, he snapped the manga shut as he got up, returned it to the shelf, and stepped out into the hall. At the end of this he found his bored secretary who seemed to be looking at her nails very carefully, without having noticed his presence.
"Isn't there anyone waiting?". Yuuki internally enjoyed the blonde's shock. Perhaps this would teach her to be more aware of her surroundings, who knows what could happen to be so distracted.
"N… No, Great Master. The last person just contacted us to cancel his appointment. I was about to inform you, sir". She nervously averted her eyes, aware of her obvious lie.
"Hum…". Yuuki narrowed his eyes for a second before smiling and patting the air. "Perfect! I'm going home. Finish whatever you have pending and leave, transfer this afternoon's visits to tomorrow".
"Yes, sir". The elf began to use her magical reserve to communicate with her co-workers and clients. Good thing that Yuuki hadn't scheduled any important meetings today, although she would have to deal with angry adventurers.
Half an hour later, after greeting and stopping to chat with the lovely people of Ingrassia, Yuuki turned the last corner that would lead him to his home. If he was lucky Runa would continue to sleep, so he could prepare food without having to watch what Runa saw or didn't see.
Yuuki opened the door, being careful not to make any noise that might wake up the more than possible sleeping beauty. He walked in, leaving his shoes at the entrance and closing it behind his back.
"Y… Yuuki?". A shaky voice came from one of the deepest rooms in the house. It was relatively early, more with the delicate health of the girl.
"Runa? Are you awake?". Stupid ask, of course she was. Yuuki mentally scolded himself as he removed his jacket and set it on the rack. He was surprised not to see Runa appear, maybe she was in the bed?
Trying to ignore the pang of worry he ventured to where Runa was most likely to be, the room. It was empty and the blankets were cold. "Runa? Where are you?". Not wanting to recognize the edge of panic in his own voice, he continued searching on the same room for her.
"H... Here!". Came from the bathroom, wanting to convince himself that nothing had happened to Runa, Yuuki went at a leisurely pace. Once he was in front of the door he knocked with his knuckles, almost pressing his ear to the wood.
"Yuuki… Help me." That was definitely a sore voice. With his mind running through the worst scenarios, Yuuki carefully opened the door, in case Runa was near of the door and could hurt her. He found Runa on the bathroom floor, without a towel and shaking. Her ankle was swollen and red.
"Runa-chan! What happened!? How long have you been there? Why haven't you warned Hinata or me?". He quickly grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her and scooping her up in her arms. Yuuki carefully walked out into the hall, heading to the bed.
Once there he looked for underwear and took out one of the warmest pajamas Runa had. He dressed her, taking special care of her injured ankle, and covered her, up to her chin, with the sheets from the bed.
"I think fifteen minutes. Hinata is on a mission and I didn't want to bother you". Runa whimpered as she snuggled under the covers, wiping her runny nose with her sleeve. "I'm sorry…".
Yuuki shook his head, stroking her head as if it were a kitten. "Next time something like this happens to you, call me. You're my girlfriend". Yuuki leaned down to meet her lips in a tender, love-laden kiss.
"Don't even think about moving, I'll make us something to eat and then we'll spend the afternoon reading mangas and in pajamas. Do you like the plan?". Before Runa's affirmative answer, he left her alone after kissing her forehead.
Yuuki spent another half hour cooking while humming. He made a light soup and a small fruit salad, in which he made sure to pour the correct amount from the vial. Shortly after, he returned with a large tray with their food.
"Itadakimasu". They thanked before starting to dig into their corresponding plate. Yuuki watched and made sure the blue haired girl finished absolutely everything.
A couple of hours later, while Runa was snuggled and fast asleep against his side, the brunette couldn't help but laugh lightly. Absolute victory was almost within his grasp.
