Arc 2 - Chapter 5

The next day*

(Hime's Summer Resort)

It took the entire night to reach Hime's summer resort, and I must say the place is very nice and the lake next to the building is nice as well. Where people could swim or do any water activities without any problems when one gets bored inside. Well, other than for those that can't swim at all and/or have a fear of the deep water.

Even Riza is with us, where Hiro and Flandre are wiping the floor clean. Something I wasn't tasked to do. Since this wasn't part of my job description.

"Hey, Hime." Riza spoke up as she looks out the glass doorframe windows at the lake.

"What?" Hime replied as she didn't stop reading the book, something to pass the time.

"What is this place?" Riza calmly asks Hime.

"It's my summer resort, why you ask?" Hime place down her book on the small table next to her. Right next to her cup of warm green tea she had Flandre made for her before ordering her to do the cleaning with Hiro.

"What am I doing here with you?! I just came to your mansion to get the helmet I left behind!" Riza yelled in absolute rage at Hime, who clearly didn't seem to be bothered being screamed at.

"It's because you showed up just as we were leaving." Hime calmly responded to the angry hybrid female werewolf.

"What kind of reason is that?!" Riza yelled once more, causing Hime to let out a tired sigh.

"Be quiet." Hime reaches over to pick up her teacup to take a sip, "You're spoiling the atmosphere. Go play in the lake or something." With one hand free, Hime uses it to wave at Riza in a gesture for her to leave already.

This just trigger Riza instead, "Wh-What's with that attitude?! In fact, you the one dragged me here!"

"I did no such thing. I did not order you to follow me all the way here." Hime begins to become annoyed with the way she being yelled at for no reason. "Flandre."

"Fuga?"

"There should be a jet ski in the marina, right?" Hime wanted to be sure just in case before putting this option onto the table.

"Fuga."

"So how about it? Want to ride the jet ski? It'll clear that hothead of yours." Hime smirk at the angry look on Riza's face.

"You... You're making fun of me, huh?!" Riza is this close to snapping, but decides to take up this offer before she does something she will regret. Riza glance over to Hiro before having her arms transformed and grab Hiro by the head. "You! You're coming with me!"

Watching Riza drag the confused Hiro out, leaving Hime, Flandre, and me behind.

"Well, I'm going to search the place for anything interesting, worth taking as materials for me to use in my next project. If you need me, I'll be back tonight." I said to Hime, who just waves me off, that she gave me permission to leave.


A few minutes later*

(Unknown Lake)

Walking around without any destination in mind. I start going through my pockets and thinking if I should upgrade from pockets to something else to carry my [Magical Items]. After all, if I lose my pants at some points. I may end up going on a rampage just to release the build-up rage of losing all the [Magical Items] I created up to now.

So, I begin to think of what I should make to replace the hammerspace's anchors of my pockets into something else. Since I should have thought about this way sooner, even before I left the fantasy world. I'm actually lucky to survive up to now with my pockets intact.

During the entire time walking around the lake; I have come up with many ideas, but dropped almost all of them. Most of them are impossible to do in this world and in the fantasy world via [Book of the End]. Yet, this didn't stop me as I continue to think more and more ideas until I've already walked very far away from Hime's summer resort.

I shook my head and begin heading back before I end up getting lost. Then, I decided to try out one of my workable ideas by using the [Book of the End] and hope it works. If not, then no matter, since I know not everything will go my way.

Of course, there the idea of getting a third [Stand]. The [Sticky Finger], where this [Stand] will solve my current problem, but I know that's impossible due to pushing my limit already with already having two [Requirem Stands] at that. Not just normal [Stands].


A few hours later*

(Hime's Summer Resort)

I let out a frustrated sigh as I finally got one of my ideas to work, where now my [Fox Mask] has been modified so many times, I have lost track and is the number one [Magical Item] I have that changed so much, that I'm surprised the thing hasn't broken yet with all the changes I have done to it. Of course, among those many changes, I made the [Fox Mask] unbreakable and now always appear back to me no matter what. As long I just reach into something that could contain the [Fox Mask].

Now, my [Fox Mask] is the anchor to the hammerspace I store all my things, where I just need to think and it will pop into existence. Same in reverse, but I just have to physically touch it. Got to love [Spatial Manipulation] and everything related to it.

Honestly, I should have done this on the second or third day in the fantasy world. Nevertheless, I now have a secure way to keep my stuff safe and easy to take out for me to use at any moment. Then again, I was too busy with making other [Magical Items] and having sex with Darkness.

BOOM!*

I blink as I watch the house sliding down the slope and heading straight into the lake.

"Oh shit." I begin running towards the house. Sliding the [Fox Mask] over my face to activate the [Night-Vision Mode] to see through the dark. Now, to help Hime out since I've already seen that not everything will go the way things supposed to be in the manga.

For all I know, these mermen wouldn't hesitate to kill Hime for her blood before she could even reveal the truth about how her blood works.

With a quick burst of speed and the [Fox Mask] boosting my physical aspects. I barely arrived when the house entered the lake. I quickly ran up the back of the house and land on the roof.

"Hime." I called out when I saw her coming through the window on the roof.

"Daisuke. Good timing." Hime said to her servant, glad that Riza won't be the only one to protect her while both Flandre and Hiro are currently unavailable to protect her.

With a single thought and a flick of my wrist. I throw multiple blue [Spell Shards], causing the water around the house to freeze up. Now, that I prevent the house from sinking any further.

"Damn it! We can't stay here long!" Riza shouted as she prevents the mermen from coming through the window, then noticed someone else is on the roof other than Hime and herself. "Hey! You! You're one of Hime's servants, do something!"

I blankly stare at Riza before looking at Hime, for what she wants.

"Stop them from capturing me." Hime order.

"As you wish, Ojou-sama." I replied.

Using [Domain Control] to produce a grayish bubble over to Riza before increasing its size to forcibly push the mermen back inside, allowing Riza to move away. Afterward, I create a block of ice over the window, stopping the mermen from using the window to come onto the roof.

"Quick question, do you wish for me to eliminate them? As in killing them." I remember that Hime had these mermen as her helpers in the later chapters. So if I do end up getting rid of them. Hime won't have any backups in the form of mermen to save her with numbers.

"Don't kill them. I have a feeling why they did all this." Hime knew that there is time to kill and when not to kill. Though, from this alone. She can for sure say, that this servant of her has killed before and enough to the point, that he can kill without any hesitation and the only reason why he asked now. Hime can guess that her servant must have thought that these mermen could be some use to her in the future, which she thinks the same.

"Oh." I honestly thought Hime wanted to kill these mermen, but I guessed wrong and Hime must be more of a forgiven person than I thought. Then again, with the type of Hime's personality and the entire manga. I should really expect this type of response from her. Also, this may as well be my answer to work on [Motor-Skill Manipulation] instead of [Molecular Manipulation] if Hime planning to make sure most of her enemy is taken down non-lethal. "Well, this will require a special tool then."

Thank goodness I made the [Book of the End], because honestly, almost all my [Magical Items] are more lean towards the lethal sides. So that leaves me with limited options. Luckily, I have been working on my [Domain Control] often.

I slam my right palm on the wooden rooftop as I spread a large amount of grayish water-like across the entire rooftop and even the ice covering the size of the roof to keep the house float in the freezing cold lake.

Once the entire roof is covered and under control of [Domain Control]. I push more [Mana] into the [Domain Control] for me to use [Telekinesis: Levitation] and bring us up into the sky. Of course, I only lift the rooftop and a small amount of ice instead of the entire house and ice around it. Going any further in size would just drain me more of my [Mana].

"Okay, good news. I got us away for a bit." I move us uphill, where Hime's house used to be. "Bad news. I don't really have many non-lethal to deal with the mermen. So, it's better for us to escape from here in my opinion." It's a good thing this doesn't take too much of my [Mana] nor did I have to move us for too long. Also, it looks like I made the right decision on taking the entire roof with me instead of just a small section that's enough for Riza, Hime, and me to stand on.

As I can feel the mermen throwing something below the rooftop, to bring us down. But, with the [Domain Control]. I made it so the rooftop is almost unbreakable by strengthening the woods with [Elemental Manipulation] and [Telekinetic Compression].

"That's fine. We got someone who could deal with the mermen without having to kill them." Hime knew how hard it is for people that have killed too much and will have a hard time not killing their targets. Nevertheless, Hime won't look down on her servant since no one perfect, not even herself. "Isn't that why you follow, Riza?" Hime glance at Riza, who grunts and rub her hair in frustration. "Besides, I have an idea of how to deal with the mermen. Just land us somewhere open."

"Alright, you're the boss." I shrugged and lower us somewhere further away, that's more open, but also at the same time being as close to a flat surface as possible.

Once landed, we got surrounded by mermen really fast. Well, this is what we get for not moving and just stay in one spot. So, seeing all these mermen put be on the edge and I'm this close to just say screw everything. Summon either of my [Requiem Stands] to deal with these mermen or use [Book of the End] together with [Domain Control]. All good options in my opinion, but I got faith in Hime that she knows what to do. After all, in the manga, Hime pretty much almost always know what the best course of action to take in critical situations.

"Ah, damn it! I should never have come to see you." Riza shouted once she realizes we're surrounded as well and yelled at Hime, who deadpans at Riza for thinking this is her fault.

"Ojou-sama. You better do something quick." I warn Hime enough that I'm about to take action if these mermen get any closer.

"Surrender!" One of the mermen roared at us.

Just as one of the mermen about to get physical with one of us. I've already reactivated [Domain Control] and form a spear made out of out of compressed air, allowing everyone to see it due to how much air has been compressed into the form of a spear, ready to be fired at one of these mermen and I've already tested it on trees, where it exploded along with other trees nearby, and I'm sure these mermen shouldn't have iron-like skin or something on the line to not be hurt by this compressed air spear I created.

I glare coldly at the mermen that spoken, waiting for it to speak up so I could use this compressed air spear at it. The thought of using the [Book of the End] is also an option with how many mermen there are. Something I did not like one bit and I won't bet that my physical body is stronger against these mermen.

"Daisuke." Hime said calmly, "Put that away. After all, we can't have any problem to occur."

I seriously wonder where Hime gets her confidence from, but I may as well believe in her like I already am. Of course, that doesn't mean I wasn't putting down my guard. In fact, I have [Chariot Requiem] partial summon my left arm. Just waiting for the moment something goes wrong and I have a rapier ready to be used along with the speed and strength to back it up with [Chariot Requiem] boosting my body.

"Now, I'm sure your leader is among you. Let him come here, to speak with me." Hime said to the mermen, where they mumble to each other until a small merman with a wooden cane walk out of the group in the front, but not too close too far away. "So, you're this group's leader?" Hime guessed this smaller one is the leader unless she guesses it wrong.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Hime-sama." The leader of mermen spoke in an aged voice, that anyone can tell he is old. "We are a clan that lives in the human world, that has been forsaken and forgotten by the Kingdom! You, Hime-sama, have abused your authority! We have never sworn allegiance to the Kingdom!"

"Hmph. Why don't we skip past the speech and get to the truth, huh?" Hime smirk at the leader of the mermen. "If you actually have a problem with the Kingdom. Then, I'll listen, but I should guess that the real reason you haven't tried your best to kill me and my companions. Is that you're actually after my blood... Am I wrong?"

This shocked all the mermen before all but the leader of the mermen fall onto their knees and place their foreheads on the ground in respect for Hime's guessing correctly.

"A-Amazing, Hime-sama! Your insight is incredible!" The leader of the mermen shouted in excitement. "Hehe! You are truly something, Hime-sama. I'll get to the point then." The leader of the mermen raises his arms to the sky before roaring, "Our clan will live on forever! Your blood will grant us immortality! That is what we wanted!"

The other mermen started yelling in eagerness to become immortal. Just as the leader of the mermen said. They desire to become immortal, to live forever.

"Alright." Hime agreed simply without hesitation.

"Eh?! So easily!?" The leader of the mermen is shocked by how Hime agreed, so fast and without thinking about it for even a few more seconds or so.

"So... Which one of you wants to die first?" Hime asks the mermen, smiling coldly at these fools for daring to go at her, simply because they want to become immortal. If that's what they wanted, then she won't stop them from obtaining it. But, this comes with a price. After all, nothing comes free in life and her blood is the same. No matter how precious it is.

The mermen gasp in shock, to hear what Hime just said.

"Yes, those who drink the blood of the Royal Family become nearly immortal. But, only if they're dead first." Hime lost her smirk, replacing it with a bored expression. "I guess you didn't know? Just drinking my blood won't have any effect on the living. So decide... Which one of you will be the first? Or shall we do all of you at once, hmm?"

I notice Riza tensing up, but not rushing towards the leader of the mermen to be taken as a hostage. So, this is all on Hime right now.

"Come now. Decide, will you die, to gain immortality? Are you ready to pledge eternal loyalty to me?" Hime calmly stares at the mermen with cold eyes.

"Nonsense! She's speaking lies!" A deep voice roared through the night sky, where the ground begins to shake and from the lake. A huge merman rising from the lake, that is twice the height of Hime's house before it was destroyed by the mermen. "You're all being tricked by this girl!" She's trying to make fools of us!" The huge merman reaches towards Hime, "I'll drink her blood and prove to you!"

I took a step forward as I have [Chariot Requiem] create a rapier for me and four blue [Spell Shards] in my right hand.

"STOP!" The leader of the mermen shouted, stopping the huge merman and also stopping me from taking action. "We've lost. Hime-sama. We do want to be immortal... But, we can't kill each other just for that."

I secretly sighed in relief that these mermen believe Hime's words and only the huge merman have doubts.

"Chief! Regardless of what you say, I'm not backing down!" The huge merman roar with rage for his own leader not trusting him, but instead of a little girl.

"In the case, in accordance with the ancient law. Let's settle all of this with a duel." The leader of the merman looks at Hime, waiting to see who will face the huge merman.

I took a step forward, not caring if this is the moment Riza was supposed to fight instead.

"My name is Sato Daisuke! I accept the honor of serving as Hime-sama's representative and hereby challenge you to a duel!" I shout at the huge mermen, with a rapier in my left hand and taking a [Fencing Stance].

"WHAT?! A formal duel?! If we win, we get off scot-free! How lucky! HEHEHE! So this little boy is going to fight me?!" The huge mermen roared with absolute happiness.

I coldly stare at the huge mermen, as I made the black rapier turn grayish in color under the effect of my [Domain Control].

With a quick burst of speed, I appear from the left side of the huge merman, rotating my body into a position to deliver an uppercut slash while at the same time, generating a tornado with the help of [Domain Control].

The tornado shreds through the huge merman like nothing, causing blood to scatter everywhere, horrifying the mermen nearby. Luckily for the huge merman, I limited the size and power of the tornado as it died out in a matter of seconds before the small tornado ending the huge merman's life or more like I wanted to save some [Mana] just in case.

Watching the huge merman falling face forward. I took this chance to jump on the huge merman's back and start running up to reach the head. With the intention to kill, I have my rapier wrapped in wind spinning around it, to give me the rotation effect I wanted to drill right through the back of the huge mermen's head. I'm not taking any chances if the rapier alone could pierce the scales of the mermen. Let alone this huge one.

A large amount of blood spurt to the night sky and the scream of the mermen covered the area.


The next day*

(Unknown Lake)

"You know, I wonder if I should have done my usual double tab." I said to both Hime and Riza, where the huge merman is still alive and was saved quickly enough after the duel was over. Who is currently on the ground unconscious and have a large amount of bandage all of his body. Almost making the huge mermen into a huge mummy.

"What this double tab?" Riza asks me with interest.

"He cut the enemy's head off as a way to make sure the enemy stays dead and not pretending to be dead." Hime replied to Riza's question, who look at me with shock.

"Hey, there lots of monsters that can survive many fatal wounds, that would easily kill many and just shrug it off." I explain why I did this.

"Huh." Riza blinks her eyes at me before looking at the lake. "Hey, I have been wondering for a while now. Do you guys think Hiro is okay?"

"He's only been drowned for a night. He should be fine." Hime dismisses the concern Riza is bringing up.

"Hey, Hime..." Riza looks a little nervous as she rubs her head, "I have a request to make..."

"My answer is yes." Hime didn't wait for Riza to say what her request is.

"Oi! I haven't said anything yet!" Riza quickly turns to Hime's direction and shouted out in shock, as she could not believe this.

"Oh, that's because I already know what you're thinking. You don't have to say it." Hime said to Riza, clearly it was easy for her to know what Riza's request going to be.

"Hey! Are you a mind reader or something?!" Riza shouted, "Forget it! I'm going to say it anyway!" Riza took a deep breath to calm down a bit. Putting her hands into her pockets as she looks back at the lake. "I've come to realize, that your servant may have been the one that killed my brother, but you weren't his real enemy. The one who took me hostage and made my brother...!" Riza quickly took a few more deep breaths. "I know that right now, the Royal Family is engaged in a struggle over the succession. So, the one who did it was probably one of your siblings." Riza punch the palm of her other hand as she grits her teeth. "I'm going to kill them! And for that..."

"You want to be with me, because if you do. Such an opportunity will present itself?" Hime asks with a hint of amusement, for being used as bait.

"That's right! But..." Riza looks at Hime with wide eyes. "Are you really okay with that?! You don't seem to want to kill your siblings... Yet."

Hime walk up a bit closer to the lake before turning her head around to glance at Riza, "It's fine." Hime turns her head forward. "Riza, you're a warrior. You're only really alive when fighting, right?"

"I wonder..." Riza turns her head to the side. "I am a half-breed after all..."

"We've found it!" Someone shouted, causing Riza to have an extra set of ears to pop out from the top of her head, which looks like it belongs to a wolf.

"Think they found Hiro?" I ask the girls, while we begin walking towards the location of where the mermen that have been pulling on a rope to drag something or someone out of the lake.

And before our sight is Flandre holding onto Hiro's legs, with Hiro having a big stomach from swallowing too much water.

"Huh, do you think he will leak out all the water inside his stomach if I poke a few holes in his stomach?" I ask with a smirk, causing Riza to look at me with a wary look while Hime just rolls her eyes.

"Please... don't." Hiro manages to speak out his dying words before continuing to spat out more water.
