Chapter 9 Rino

I don't own Kill La Kill Or The Rising of the Shield Hero

At the Castle the elite Four were in a meeting room talking about the events.

"Well looks like Itsuki and Motoyasu do not like Naofumi despite the truth."Inumuta said.

"Motoyasu is simply a idiot that believes in women while Itsuki is jealous, Naofumi is being rewarded instead of him so that is what makes him hate Naofumi."Satsuki told them.

Nonon chuckles."Oh so the little bow hero doesn't like being outshined."

"That fool thinks he'll get anything when he waits for the battle to end to finish off the enemy."Gamagori said.

They've been watching Itsuki and is strategy is to wait and kill the enemy when they're, a cowards move which Satsuki hates, if he thinks he'll get anything out of her then he's mistaken.

"By the way Lady Satsuki, what's your opinion on Mirellia's offer of adopting you?"Sanegeyama asked.

"I am still deciding."Satsuki said.

"Also why did you leave Melty in charge when we went out?"Nonon asked.

"She has experience and is more trust worthy."Satsuki told them.

"Really, because your getting close, Melty is almost treating your as her older sister."Nonon said.

"Well compared to her actual sister it's no wonder she wants a new one."Sanegeyama laughs.

"My decision will be for another time, Melty is simply one I can trust."Satsuki gets up."Now it's time to prepare for the wave."

Inumuta was checking his pda and got surprised."Wait a minute."He sees footage of a cart and there was a heat signature on the tarp covering it."Theres a cart going outside the city with someone hidden."

"What?!"Gamagori said."I'll take care of this."

Outside

The two guys at the cart were driving down a road.

"We need to go before she finds out about us."One of them said.

"Like that girl will ever know."

Then Gamagori jumps down in front of them scaring the duo.

"Oh we know."

He then takes the tarp off revealing human girls inside a cage.

"Slaves, you have done a horrible crime!"

He takes out his whips and hits the two slave drivers many times making them scream before he sends them away back to the city where a group of knights is waiting for them.

He frees the girls and they ran away, Gamagori then saw a girl with long curly golden hair along and ahoge and blue eyes there looking sad.

"Wait a minute."

He then remembers her back at the time the Heroes were getting they're parties.

Later at the throne room

Satsuki was looking at the girl who was kneeling down in front of her.

"Tell me your name?"Satsuki asked.

"It's Rino my Queen."

"Rino, why were you with those other slaves?"

"Because that bitch Lesty!"She said surprising them.

"Lesty? Isn't that one of the girls in Motoyasu's party?"Sanegeyama said.

"Yes, I was a simple farm girl that wanted to do something more with my life, when I showed potential with magic I came to the city to join the Heroes own party, I picked the Spear Hero since I heard the tales of him being the strongest but Motoyasu didn't even let us fight."

"Wait what, you mean to tell me your just there to cheer for him?"Nonon asked.

"Yes, even when I fought they looked at my like I did something wrong, the other two girls bullied and Motoyasu didn't even do anything since he didn't want to deal with our girl problems and thought we could deal with it alone, but Lesty was Malty's friend, she tricked me into being sent a slave."Rino cries out.

Satsuki frowns."It seems that liar as her own friends, Rino I'll make sure she'll pay."

Then everyone was gathered at the entrance of the Castle and Naofumi said:"I wonder what Satsuki is asking everyone to come?"

Satsuki comes out and said:"I wish for the woman called Lesty come foward."

"Did you hear Lesty."Motoyasu was near and he looks at her."Satsuki is going to reward you."

"Well..."Lesty goes foward with a smirk."I'm here Queen Satsuki."

"Good, then it's time to give you your punishment!"She glares at her.

Lesty got scared and everyone got shocked, she backs away but then she bumps into something and looks back to see Gamagori.

"Satsuki what are you doing?!"Motoyasu said.

"This woman has commited the greatest crime."Satsuki then points back and Rino comes out shocking Lesty.

"Rini, your back."Motoyasu said.

"Shut up!"Rino said surprising him."Don't act like your happy to see me!"

"What?"He was confused.

"Lesty has sold off her own party memberaway as a slave."Satsuki said.

"What?!"Raphtalia said.

"In fact, it must be because she's friends with the former princess Malty."Satsuki told everyone.

"So that's why."Naofumi frowns.

"Please... It's not what it looks like."Lesty said."Rino please tell them."

"Punish her!"Rino said shocking Lesty.

Gamagori takes out his whips and hits her many times, he then wraps one around her and sends her flying away."You don't deserve to be a member of a party, in fact this is what you get!"He then slams her against a wall and she was in pain.

Motoyasu was shocked and his other party member was scared since that might happen to her too.

"How could you?!"Motoyasu points his spear at Gamagori.

"Are you threatening my own Elite Four?"Satsuki said.

"But Satsuki."Motoyasu tries to talk to her.

"No, do that again and you'll be punished."She Said surprising Motoyasu.

Itsuki frowns and said:"She's abusing her power."

"More like punishing a criminal."Naofumi smirks.

"Yes, Satsuki is a great Queen."Raphtalia said and Filo nodded.

"Naofumi are you still looking for party members?"Satsuki asked him.

"Well... Yes."He nodded.

"Then Rino will be joining you."

"What?! But Rino?!"Motoyasu said.

"No!"Rino looks at Naofumi."Naofumi please allow me to join you?"

"I'm surprised that your not asking her to join you?"Naofumi said.

"I already have a potential member, this makes it even for you."Satsuki told him and he accepted it.

Rino goes to Naofumi's party and Raphtalia and Filo greeted her.

Satsuki goes back inside and sees Mirellia.

"I see that you have done the proper punishment."

"Yes, that woman deserved nothing more than to suffer."Satsuki said.

"Have you decided on my offer?"Mirellia asked.

"Soon I will give you a answer."Satsuki walks away making her sigh.

Melty watches Satsuki through the halls and Satsuki looks at before smiling making Melty smile, Satsuki then goes to her room to prepare for the next wave.

Note: Here's Rino's side and she's been saved by Gamagori and Satsuki punished Lesty, she's just as bad as Malty if they're friends.
