Tortus Heiligh Kingdoms Captial city, Royal Palace Guest/Hajime's room, September 9th, 3 am Multi pov
Kaori "Thank you for the tea Nagumo-kun, and sorry I took so much of your time," she says to him in a happy voice
Hajime "No worries Shirasaki-san, just make sure if you try something like this again. Just give me a heads up so that I could have more time to clean my mess around here," he says to her in informing but honest voice
Kaori "I'll be sure to do so, have a good rest Nagumo-kun," she says to him in a warm voice
Hajime "Likewise, just make sure no catches you sneaking into your room Shirasaki-san," he says to her slight warning but honest voice
Kaori merely smiles at him before heading down the hallway, before turning a right corner vanishing from his sight. Seeing that the smile on his face disappears before it's replaced with a slight frown. Before simply turn his back on the hallway and closing the door. Making sure it's locked for now as he makes his way to the to bring down the bounded field around the bed. In turn, reveals Rin and Sakura covering themselves with the bedsheets since it seems they've gained full movement of their bodies.
Hajime "I'm assuming it's time for you guys to leave right?" he asks them along with another person who just arrived within the room.
Zelretch "Rightly so, considering if they stayed here a lot longer, they would simply vanish." he says to him in a confirming voice
Hajime "Thought as much, well I suggest the both of hurry up and change into your clothes. The Old man along with myself will be out in the balcony to give you guys some privacy," he says to the both of them
Sakura "I guess thanks, though I don't know you wish to give us privacy now since you have already seen our bodies." she says to him in questioning but a slightly confused voice
Hajime "I could just watch you guys change if that's what you want Matou-san. But I'm sure you Tohsaka-san and Senpai wouldn't like that very much." he says to her in an honest voice with a grin on his face
Rin "I thank you for your understanding Nagumo-san. Now please get out before I start shooting gandar shots at you," she says to him in a slight happy but informing voice
Seeing that as their time to leave, both himself and Zelretch head out into the balcony where they can see the starry night sky along with the moon in view. While also overlooking the city down below where lanterns illuminated the streets and various houses. As soon they arrived they see Emiya simply sitting on of the chairs looking at the both of them
Emiya "Hello Kaleidoscope causing headaches for Alaya as usual," he says to him in a greeting but respectful voice
Zelretch "Good to see you as well Emiya, I see you managed to escape Alaya to enjoy another well-deserved vacation," he says to him in a greeting but amused voice
Emiya "Of course, though I'm sure this time you aren't here to ruin my masters day like last time," he says to him in questioning but a slightly hostile voice
Zelretch "Now you and I both know your master wouldn't be here if that's the case. So yes I'm not here to cause any problems. I simply came back doing a supply run for him," he says to him and Hajime in a respectful voice while a portal opens up and drops two more duffle bags worth of materials.
Hajime "Your quick, thanks for getting them for me," he says to him in a respectful but honest voice
Zelretch "No worries, now I'm sure the two of you have something to discuss. So don't mind me since I'll be enjoying the view while drinking this very expensive wine I found in the closet," he says to them in an amused voice
Emiya "It seems he took that from your limited stash," he says to him in an honest but slightly amused voice
Hajime "...It's fine since at least he didn't take the most valuable one. So I can be grateful he's got some respect for me in not taking that particular one. So then Emiya, what it looking like?" he says to him in an accepting but slightly serious voice
Emiya "Well not going to lie it's doable for you in sneaking in and killing him. The problem will be since you don't have any other intel other than me giving you the patrol route of the various guards in the compound. You're going in blind since you don't know what the inside is like. So in all likely hood even if you kill him. You're going to have to exit in a loud fashion. Which I know it's something you don't want for obvious reasons," he says to him in a blunt but informing voice
Hajime "True, option two it is then. Shame I wanted to kill him with my own hands for trying to bind me to this kingdom along with the other backup plans he had for me," he says to him in a blunt but regretful voice while having a slight pout on his face
Emiya "I knew you spending time with Nobunaga, Count, and Cu would be a bad influence on you," he says to him in a blunt voice
Hajime "Like your any better," he says to him in an honest voice
Emiya "Never said I was did I," he says to him in an amused voice
Hajime "That's fair, I guess we're going with you sniping then. I'm sure you won't miss," he says to him in a knowing voice
All he gets back is a slight smirk from him before they head Rin speak up once more.
Rin "Never thought I'd hear mister hero of justice feel indifferent about killing someone," she says to them in a slightly amused voice
Emiya "I see the both of you finally clothed yourselves." he says to them in a knowing voice while having a slight smirk
Sakura "Well it majority of your fault senpai as to why we took so long. Not that I minded anyway," she says to him in an honest voice but a slight smile on her face
Hajime "It's always the quiet and shy ones. I honestly felt bad for Gudao for having to deal with Mash. Especially after Kiara and Kama's slight influence on her for you know what," he says in a slightly found voice while looking over the city with a slight smile
Emiya "That they are. As if Gudao didn't have even to deal with the other female servants" he also says in a fond voice while having a knowing grin on his face
Rin "Seems like an interesting person if you're talking about him," she says to him in a curious but intrigued voice
Emiya "That he was, him and his twin sister," he says to them in a respectful but slight regretful voice while turning his sight to overlook the city
Both Sakura and Rin felt the mood in the air change from a form an amusement to a more somber one. The same could be said how they noticed Zelretch stop drinking wine from his glass the moment they started mentioning Gudao's name. As if he had human tact to him or something. The silence in the air dragged on for a bit before Zelretch set down his wine glass and speaking up
Zelretch "Alright you enough dropping unnecessary information simply because the both of you felt a little nostalgia of days long gone. Not that I can blame you since they were interesting humans of their own right. But leave it at that." he says to the both of them in an informing but understanding voice
Hajime "Might as well, so I assuming this is goodbye for quite a while. Matou-san, Tohsaka-san while it was short, it was nice meeting the both of you." he says to the both of them in a respectful voice
Rin "While I and my sister would've liked to discuss certain things with you and Shirou. It would be dangerous for us if we stayed any longer than we already have. But yes it was a pleasure for us as well," she says to them in a respectful voice
Sakura "That it was since we got to see senpai one last time. Though do make sure he doesn't wander off or get into too much trouble," he says to him in an informing but happy voice
Hajime "I'll be sure to do so Matou-san." he says to her in an honest voice
Zelretch "Then I guess this is where we depart, Hajime, Emiya pleasure to see you guys as always. Hopefully, neither will die a little prematurely or be caught up in a complicated scheme," he says to the both of them in an amused but having a knowing grin on his face
Both of them saw a massive portal open up beside Zelretch, Rin, and Sakura before they spoke up once more
Emiya "Considering everything we've been through I wouldn't rule them out knowing our luck," he says to him in an honest voice
Hajime "True though I hope it's the former since I'd rather not go to Alaya just yet. See you around old man," he says to him in a respectful but professional voice
Zelretch "Likewise," he simply says back in a respectful but amused voice as both he along with Rin and Sakura disappeared from view.
Silence filled the balcony the air once more before Hajime spoke up
Hajime "I'd think that's enough surprises for me, I'll be turning in for the rest of the night. What about you?" he asks Emiya in a questioning voice
Emiya "While I don't need sleep but, I follow soon after to get a few hours of rest. Have a nice rest Hajime," he says to him in an honest voice
Hajime merely nods his head towards him before heading back inside the room to rest for the remaining hours left. While he simply overlooked the city once more seemingly having a slight smile on his face.
Flashback/Dream Babylonia Singularity, following moring after Tiamat's defeat. Hajime and Gilgamesh pov
After the life and death battle they had, everything was finally over after months of spending time in this singularity. However, everything came at a price as the surrounding landscape and once majesty city of Babylonia. Was now in ruins and while they couldn't see them. The brave soldiers and worries who stayed behind and fight. All of their corpses were all over the city or buried under the rubble. The Babylonian King, Gilgamesh's majestic magical guns were also either toppled over or outright destroyed. After foreseeing the destruction of his Kingdom and capital seven months before their arrival.
Out of the extra six servants, they brought alongside them to aid in the fight. Only one remained, not counting the other perished servants that Gilgamesh managed to summon on his own. Them being Tomoe Gozen, Ushiwakamaru, King Leonidas, Benkei, and Merlin. Along with Ana or now know as Chibi Medusa who also perished. Cu Chulainn, Arthur Pendragon, Tammao no Mae, Ozymandias, Jeanne d'Arc Alter, and Sakata Kintoki of these six comrades and family. Only Cu managed to survive but only just as standing guard alongside Ishtar over the still sleeping, Gudao, Gudako, and Mash. They look fairly peaceful almost as if they were dead.
However, after waking up he was told by Cu and Ishtar that Gilgamesh wished to meet him one last time before they would head back to Chaldea.
So while painful getting back up to his feet since he was still in pain after being sent through a wall, had a deep-bladed wound in his gut that's currently bandaged up and a couple of purple and blue bruises all over his body. He slowly made his way towards the King who's currently standing upright looking over the rising sun and properly his remaining citizens that were told to evacuate the night before yesterday's battle with BEAST Tiamat.
Gilgamesh "So you're awake before the Ristuka twins, while your part in yesterday's battle wasn't as glorious, you still played a major role in securing victory for us Nagumo Hajime. Master from a different timeline" he says to him in a slight praising but respectful voice
Hajime "I thank you for your words, King Gilgamesh. I just did my part from the shadows since we already have two who already taken the place in the light," he says to him in a respectful but honest voice with a slight smile but warm smile looking at Gudao and Gudako sleeping soundly alongside his fellow kouhai Mash.
Gilgamesh "You can drop the formalities around me Nagumo Hajime, or I'll be upset since I can't let a retainer of an interesting but honest King. That I had an amusing time with and chatted with say such things to me. It would leave a bad taste in my mouth" he says to him in an honest but slightly admonishing voice
Hajime hearing such words merely clenches his fist hard while having a slightly pained smile on his face.
Hajime "Even though I may be a retainer for Ozymandias, he was a friend first and foremost and yet when all said and done. I failed him the most since he had to save me in the end at the cost of his own life. If he hadn't done that then maybe the battle wouldn't have been as dire" he says to him in a slightly sad but slightly angered voice
Gilgamesh "Perhaps, I'll certainly say the logical choice was for him was to let you fall to your demise. After all, whether you like it or not you are an expendable master if it should come down it between you and the Fujimaru twins. I know for certain even you can agree with this fact" he says to him in a blunt but respectful voice
Hajime "...Even I know that much, while I may be loved by every in Chaldea including all the other servants within it. At the end of the day should be some awful chance that they must choose either to save them or me. They would choose them even if they were reluctant about doing so. And I wouldn't blame them for it considering everything we've been through thus far." he says to him in an informing but slightly blunt voice
Gilgamesh "Yet he didn't do that simply because he thought you were worth it, it wasn't just him was it. The Dragon witch Jeanne, the King of Knight Arthur, The slight annoying but interesting woman Jaguarman, and finally the Irish dog Cu Chulainn who still lives. All of them gave their lives or were wounded significantly to keep you alive. Even the Old Man of the Mountain King Hassan saved you as well even when he didn't have to. They saved you the expendable master because for varied reasons we won't ever know unless you ask them directly. So even if you're feeling guilty being the cause of their downfall. Don't be since that would be spiting on their faces for the sacrifice they made." he says to him in an informing but honest voice with a slight grin on his face while placing a hand on his shoulder.
Hajime "I thank you for considering I needed that. You know you're a lot easier to talk to than your Archer counterpart," he says to him in an honest but grateful voice
Gilgamesh "Heh is that so, Though I'm sure you're referring to me who was at his prime. Rather than the childish me who while may be easier to talk to than I, he's still a pain to manage. But that's just the time and age along with wisdom catching up to me and bitch slapping reality into my face. Even I can tell how much of an arrogant little shit I was back then. Well still am but I mellowed out a bit." he says to him in an amused but understanding voice.
Hajime "I guess you did...So what is it that you need of me considering I'm sure it's not just to have a lovely chat," he asks him in questioning but respectful voice
Gilgamesh "Quite, a few months ago while when the lot of you were trying to bring the harlot to our side. Ozymandias and I had an interesting discussion about you. One I might say was interesting and compelled to abide by the agreement we made." he says to him in an authoritative but respectful voice while looking at him dead in the eye.
Hajime "That being?" he asks him back in a curious but respectful voice while raising an eyebrow
Gilgamesh "According to him he was looking to give you a gift that would aid you in you're coming future. As well perhaps would last you long enough to leave as a legacy and family heirloom. But that train of thought was discarded since what he could give you would either be too big or would cause you to have enormous amounts of unwanted attention. Once the inevitable came where he would have to leave you unguarded left to the hands of greedy vipers or wolves." he says to him in a calm but serious voice
Gilgamesh "So when he was summoned to Chaldea, he thought over on what to do and even went to the other kings and queens as well. Eventually, he managed after a while to convince my Archer and Childself that they would be the ones to give you a gift from our treasury. Or rather have access to a particular part where this gift will be stored for you to take out when you please." he says to him in a serious but informing voice
Gilgamesh "However, the condition they gave to him after consideration and finding out that the final singularity was going to take place in our Kingdom. Was to convince and impress me enough to prove that you are worthy of having such a gift. As you did to my other counterparts within Chaldea's walls." he says to him in an amused but serious voice
Hajime "...Why me? I'd understand if he did that for Gudao and Gudako considering they are more worth and done so much more than I ever could," he says to him in a serious but questioning voice
Gilgamesh "That is true, they did far more and earned everyone praise being weak as they are. The bonds and relationships formed with each of the servants be it a deprived and disgusting man or arrogant cruel royalty still suck in their ways. They have earned respect and praise from those individuals. While the same can be said to you, you can't forgive as easily as the Fujimaru twins or not be biased at firsts. Even so, they'll get pretty of rewards or gifts of their own in their futures. Much more compared to you saying such." he says to him in an honest but blunt voice
Gilgamesh "You said you'd prefer to stay in the shadows while the Fujimaru twins stayed in the light. A shining beacon for all is it hope, admiration, obsession, Ideal, courage, fairness, forgiving, naivety, or any other reasons that may be thrown in their direction. And yet you don't mind if you fade back into the minds of others or as simply an afterthought. Since you've already come to terms that's where you belong and shine the most. I'd say as equally as them yet never being noticed. Save for the who actively look towards you and respect what you do" he says to him in a blunt voice
Gilgamesh "You do and make a decision that needs to be done even if it goes against the wishes of the Fujimaru twins, Chaldea or even the servants themselves. You may butt heads with every single one of them and yet they would respect you for it. Especially those of us like myself or Inline of thinking like the Hassans, the dragon witch, or the Irish dog. But if you wish to be content in the shadows of the light You'd need to have enough pull, enough allies, enough power to stay in the shadows and protect the light." he says to him in an authoritative but professional voice while still looking at him with cold hard eyes.
Gilgamesh "As such myself along with my other counterparts and King Ozymandias will be the first in your corner supporting you and giving you strength, wisdom, knowledge, and charisma to rally though who think along the lines like us. To your side in hopes of never seeing the light fall and plunge into darkness," he says to him in a serious but composed voice.
At his words he sees a small golden ripple in the air he's seen multiple times open up. Soon a large bladed golden longbow with engravings on the ends and middle part of the bow. Comes out slowly from the portal and into Gilgamesh's hands as if it were natural. Before presenting it to him
Gilgamesh "As you know I have many weapons stored within my vault as well having the strongest sword in all of human history be it past or future. EA will remain the strongest blade in all existence. However, this bow in my hands may not rival EA in terms of strength, the power and destruction in this bow are as fierce and devastating as EA if given the right chance to do so. This is the gift between your King and myself to give to you as one of if not the strongest gift, power, weapon in your future arsenal that you'll surely have or create" he says to him in a respectful but honest voice
Gilgamesh "As it is now you will not be able to bring out its full potential. But given enough time you will, so bond with it, master it, learn anything and everything you can as its second owner. And maybe down the line when your journey is about to come to an end you'll find someone who had earned your praise and respect to give it to them as the potential third owner." he says to him in an authoritative but warm voice
Hajime hearing his words extends his hands to take it from him. Only to almost drop it because of how heavy and slight sharp pain was done to his hands. As they start to bleed a little but never once did the blood dripping from his palms landed or touched the bow itself.
Hajime "...You didn't warn me it was going to be this heavy or that grabbing it from your hands would cause the bow to suddenly cut me. But I thank you and my King for giving me this gift. I'll be sure to not disappoint you or the others who believe in me. So then Gilgamesh does this bow have a name?" he asks him in questioning but a grateful voice
Gilgamesh "It's almost comical you think it's a "bow". However, that bow was given to me by my mother when I was deemed old enough to wield it. So pay attention since I'm only going to say it once. It's name is…." he says in a serious and commanding voice
Tortus Heiligh Kingdom Capital city, Royal Palace Guest/Hajime's Room September 9th, 6:50 am Hajime pov
He opens his eyes wide as he suddenly sits upright on his bed scanning his surroundings once more. He could see still that the dawn hasn't even broken yet as only the gloomy grayish light illuminated through the curtains of the balcony doors. Soon he checked his bed and for once he's alone and not beside Ava's naked form after she usually left him blue bailed from passing out from foreplay. Heaving a slightly relieved sigh he soon gets out of bed in his naked glory before heading towards his closet to pick out his mystic code for the day. Along with the potions and gear he can bring today, though not before passing by the table seeing the twin golden sheathed swords he left there last night. A slight nostalgic smile forms on his face looking at the blades in question as he grabs twin swords as thinks for a moment mentally. Soon a golden ripple he's used to seeing long ago appears in the air and deposits them inside. After that, the golden ripple closes and fades out from his sight.
Hajime (I guess that takes care of that, now then might as well get ready leave with my four duffle bags today. While I may leave my mystic codes in the closet the rest of the other mystic codes, materials, craft essences, bags of coins and pictures will be coming with me. After all, I don't trust these guys to pull a fast one and take my materials or more dangerous mystic codes from me.) he says to himself in an honest voice while looking at all the clothing mystic codes in the closet.
After picking one of the mystic codes to put one as well grabbing a few black keys and the replica Gale Blog for his weapons along with a few gems. He calls over Emiya who awoke earlier after a brief nap to help him put away his stuff into the duffel bags. Which were mystic codes of their own, however, Hajime never once took the photo he kept hidden in a locked drawer. Since he preferred that if for some reason he managed to lose his duffel bags. Then he'll at least still have that important photo hidden in that locked drawer.
After that, making sure no presence was outside his door Hajime proceed to walk down the hallway towards the entrance where Emiya informed him of a caravan of luxury carriages waiting for him and his class.
Tortus Heiligh Kingdom Capital City, Royal Palace front entrance, September 9th, 7:20 am multi pov.
After greeting the various butlers and maids on my way to the front entrance, placing my four duffel bags inside my supposed private carriage provided by the Hoelscher Empire. And heading back inside the Royal Palace to take a relaxing bath since it'll take at least one day in reaching the town Orucs great labyrinth resides. I headed back outside to my carriage since I didn't wish to deal with my curious and confused classmates in the morning. However, it was the Emiya who spoke up via our master-servant connection
Emiya (Hajime you there?) he says to him in an informing but serious voice
Hajime (What is it Archer?) he asks back in a serious but questioning voice
Emiya (There seem to be various people around your carriage along with what appears to be a slave in surprising decent clothing) he says to him in an informing voice
Hajime (Okay...I assume they aren't hostile or look like they're doing anything suspicious?) he says to him back in a serious but questioning voice
Emiya (Other than appearing to be nobility of some kind along with their escorts, nothing much of note) he says to him in an informing voice
Hajime (Alright then, I'll see who it is, other than that maintain your position since you'll need to keep an eye out if the Duke decided to head to the royal palace than his usual time) he says to him in a serious but informing voice.
Emiya (Understood just know that if something happens, nothing is out of my range within the capital) he says to him in an informing but respectful voice
Hearing Emiya's last words or reassurance, he continued to walk towards the entrance where within his sight were ten luxury carriages with one being different from the rest. Being that it looked slightly more armored as well having the Hoelscher Royal crest to the sides which was the one he placed his duffel bags in. In front of that carriage was Gahard along with his son and daughter and their escort and maids they brought with them. Though it didn't take long for him to spot the slave Emiya warned him about it as she was standing in between the maids and the escouts. A cute little girl who looks to be 120cm tall with a medium slightly wavy navy blue hair and eyes. Her attire appears to be fashionable by slave standards anyways being a simple short brown bouse, and white skirt while around her neck appears to be a small black collar with a golden lock on it. Her age appears to be in the range of 10 or 12 yrs of age however the most distinct feature about the girl other than being cuter than regular humans around here. Are her navy blue rabbit or bunny ears on her head and most likely have a tail as well.
While his face doesn't show it internally he's slightly angered and disgusted at seeing such a girl in such a state. But he can't really do much when the majority of the world or at least the humans and maybe demons on the continent. That beastmen are an inferior race or just an evolved animals with human features to them, not even considered a person by everyone. Saying they should be hunted down or be grateful that they can be "domesticated" by humans to use for their own means. Since they were Ehito's failed creation that even the supposed god announcing such disgraced creations don't have his protection.
Still though seeing the child even from here slightly trembling and seeing dried red streaks down her cheeks. He assumes the worst of what happened to this child, after all this world was still in the age of gods, and slavery was allowed like it's a natural thing. So while still having an amused but warm smile he walks up to his carriage where Gahard and the others are waiting for him. His current attire/mystic code today was a long black coat, fingerless gloves, dark gray pants, black combat boots, and a dark gray suit vest and shirt underneath his coat. On his back is his Gale Brolg replica, strapped to his right and left things were three black keys each and two small pouches contain shurikens and 20ft razor wire. As well as a few talismans as well just in case along with three smoke bombs. While in the breast pocket of his coat are his glasses.
Hajime "Already heading off Emperor?" he asks him in a respectful voice while having a smile on his face
Gahard "That's right, have to back to the empire since I'm sure my workload has been increasing. Though I hope you don't mind giving you a private carriage for you and the gift I brought you," he says to him in honest but confirming voice while looking in the direction
Hajime "Not at all I'm sure having the carriage to myself would be a blessing in disguise. But that gift it wouldn't have to down with the beastmen child over there," he asks him in a curious but questioning voice
Gahard "That's right had to pay quite a heavy sum of coin for that animal over there. Even more so when she hasn't even been "examined" yet during its capture. This is surprising honestly considering such things are a very rare occurrence in capture the various animals hidden with the sea of trees." he says to him in an honest voice'
Hajime "Heh is that so...so this slave is my gift? I'm sure you all have been informed a little bit about the world I come from?" he says to them in a questioning voice
Baius "About how slavery isn't a thing or that these animals don't exist anymore along with nobility being a thing of the past? Yes, we know but unlike the rest of the green children that came with you. Including the guardian who looks like a small helpless animal herself, but we know you'd be more understanding of how things are run around here. And that you wouldn't be disgusted as much as the others. Besides your a man so you could use some company since you look a little stressed, this animal could help you relieve that and you'll be the first one to examine such animal when you do. It's fun hearing them scream and beg" he says to him in an amused but honest voice while having a grin on his face
Hajime "Heh didn't know such a thing was allowed go to know. But I'm not one to judge since it's just how things are around here even if I'm putting off by the whole thing. But that would be hypocritical on my part" he says to him in an understanding but slightly monotone voice while still having a smile on his face
Tracy "So you have experience with such things? Huh didn't peg you for that kind of man," she says to him in a slightly shocked but slightly disgusted voice
Hajime "Let's just say I had more than my fair share of experiences regarding parting in what the animal's figure looks like. But likely for me, they were the age of my sensei or fairly older so it's all good. Well as good as long you don't have to painful experience explaining to police back home that she's was, in fact, legal" he says to them in a slightly amused but respectful voice as he briefly remembers the occasional one-night stands or mana transfers with Shuten, Ibaraki, Helena, Elizabeth, Euryale, Baobhan sith, Medusa(Ana), Melusine, Ushiwakamru, Meda lily, Castoria, Stheno, Sesshion Kiara(Moon cancer) and Sitonai
Gahard "Is that so, well I guess I shouldn't have to worry about you accepting the gift then?" he says to him in a knowing voice
Hajime "While I may be appealed to the Ideal of owning people, she'll most likely at least have a better time staying under my care. That being said which tribe does this child come from?" he asks them in questioning voice
Tracy "She comes from the Haulia tribe, frankly they are the most sought out animal within the Sea of Trees. Even the males from the said animal tribe are quite handsome to look at. He'll I have a few acquaintances who have quite a few Haulia animals in their collections even young as her only its male species." he says to him in an informing voice while having a slight frown on her face
Hajime "Is that so, then do you mind putting her in the carriage at the moment?" he says to her, and the rest of them in an informing and questioning voice
Gahard "I would ask why but I know better than to ask stupid questions. Well you heard him put the gift inside the carriage and make sure it doesn't escape," he says in an understanding but commanding voice while looking at his escorts and maids.
Who gives him a bow before talking the Haulia child into the carriage and make sure it doesn't leave or try anything stupid
Hajime "Thanks for your understanding. I'd rather not deal with the annoyance of my classmates this early in the morning when they get here," he says to him in a grateful but honest voice while having a slight unamused smile on his face thinking of the coming confrontation form the hero group.
Gahard "No worries though I'm sure you'll have today that eventually considering it's a day's journey from here to the town Orcus is located. At least it should be without complications," he says to him in an understanding but informing voice
Gahard "Though answer me a simple question of mine before I have to leave," he asks him in a respectful but serious voice
Hajime "Go ahead by all means ask your question since this will be the last time we speak before I see you guys again in a month," he asks him back in a respectful but serious voice
Gahard "We all know here that out of the apostle Ehtio supposedly allowed us to summon. Only you are perhaps the strongest and well prepared out of all of them. So my question is the future captain Nagumo Hajime if it came down to saving your men or one of your classmates in a dangerous and fatal situation. Who'd you save?" he says to him in a serious but authoritative voice
Hajime merely stares at him in and hard with a veteran but cold look while slight grin forms on his face
Hajime "Quite the question my future commander...It would deepen the type of dire situation. After all, while my kinsmen may be green, naive, and unaware of the horrors war can bring with it. Along with the sacrifices needed to make as well becoming less human over time. They all are powerful assets including my sensei who I'd argue is more important than the overwhelming power that our hero can bring. Already a few within training, if I'm led to being, will surprise your most powerful mages who study and trained their whole lives. It may sometimes be your men who'd I choose especially now considering they are all still weak. But always if it's a human from your world or mine I would choose my kinsmen over your own including if that person I choose was between you or them. As long they don't double-cross me. That is my answer to you, my future commander" he says to him in a serious but cold voice while looking at him with harden but sharp gaze while letting out a little bloodlust at them
To which all the escorts including Baius and Tracy unconsciously went for the hilts of their swords. All who looked at him with narrowed but slightly impressed gazes. While Gahard merely stared at him matching his own bloodlust with Hajime's all the while both seeming to have slight grins on their faces. Before the bloodlust surrounding them suddenly vanished with silence reigning over their part of the massive front entrance grounds to the Royal Palace. Meanwhile, Emiya with narrowed eyes from the highest point on the Royal palace already had his signature bow strung with an arrow ready to let loose in case things go fubar. The silence lasted a bit longer as slowly everyone could start to see the rest of the apostles coming out of the Palace one person at a time.
Seeing such Gahard merely raise his hand in ordering everyone around him to stand down. It was then he spoke up
Gahard "...Interesting answer Nagumo Hajime, It seems you'll thrive within the empire walls after all. If I'm not careful or the rest of my children as they already know you may end up taking the throne right from under me and them" he says to him in a slightly cheerful but praising voice
Hajime "...I'd rather not deal with managing of your Empire. Though I'd probably be more suited to you as an advisor or one who shall remain unseen. I'd still thank you for the compliment though," he says to him in a respectful but slightly amused voice
Gahard "It's been a pleasure in speaking with you Nagumo Hajime, I'm sure my family and escorts could all agree the trip over here was well worth it. Considering we were able to meet and pluck a man such as yourself from them" he says to him in a praising but honest voice
Hajime sees everyone around Gahard have grins on their faces while nodding in agreement at their Emporer's words about him. However, the mood around them turns slightly serious as everyone on their turns their heads towards the now huge apostle group simply staring at them. It was then Baius spoke up
Baius "You'd said as on they didn't double-cross you right?" he says to him in a serious but questioning voice
Hajime "That's right..." he says to him in a responding but slightly serious voice while narrowing his eye slightly at the group of apostles. Or specifically at one particular person within said group
Tracy "It seems your words would be put to the test soon rather than later. We all knew you are the most well-received within your kinsmen. You wouldn't have done something to warrant slightly pathetic bloodlust thrown at you briefly would you?" she says to him in a curious but honest voice while looking back at him
Hajime simply turning his attention to her briefly before returning his attention to his classmates looking at them with slight curious and wondering stares speaks up
Hajime "Let's just say that someone didn't like I have a nightly encounter with a certain someone. Atleast said person thinks I did have such an encounter with said certain someone anyways," he says to her and the rest of them in an informing but slightly cold voice
Gahard "It petty reason if you ask me, not that I've seen or heard my own men or citizens do the same thing. The strong will always gain the hate and envy of everyone after all. That being said I guess this is where we take our leave. See in a month Nagumo Hajime" he says to him in an understanding but honest voice while extending his hand out to him
Hajime "Likewise Gahard-san, the same could be said for your son and daughter as well," he says to him and the rest in an honest but respectful voice while grabbing his hands and shaking it
Baius "Just make sure to keep the princess safe for the remaining month here. After all, it's just a matter of time before that strong woman becomes mine," he says in a blunt but respectful voice while having a smile on his face
Tracy "It was a pleasure as well, though I'm sure I'd be much more fun to hang around with than that viper of a princess. I'm sure I could show you around the interesting places of the Empire when you arrive" she says to him in an honest but respectful voice
Hajime "So that's how it is, I'll be sure to do so considering she the only lifeline and pull my kinsmen have at the moment. It would be foolish of me not to protect her in the slightest. Just make sure you'd pass on an invitation when the date is set and I'll be sure to take your offer in looking around the Hoelscher Empire" he says to the both of them in an understanding but honest voice while giving them a grin
All he gets is simple knowing grins on each of the faces before waving him goodbye. As they along with Gahard and the rest leave him standing alone near the white carriage as they head out the front Palace gates to where their respective carriages they came in were located. Seeing them go through the gates he spots his sensei wearing a sliver breastplate, sliver arm guards, sliver armored boots, and in a slightly green battle dress that reaches her knees with frills at the ends of the dress. with a short sword on her left hip. Heading towards his direction looking back and forth between him and the Empire Hoelscher envoys. It didn't take her long in reaching him and the carriage standing next to
Aiko "Moring Nagumo-san, if you don't mind me asking what was it Hoelscher-san and you speaking about?" he says him in an honest but questioning voice
Hajime "Moring Hatayama sensei, nothing much other than greetings, giving me a supposed gift and well letting me have a private carriage of my own to move around with," he says to her in an honest but respectful voice while giving her a slight smile
Aiko "My how generous of Hoelscher-san...I know about the Kings announcement since I was there but Nagumo-san, how are you holding up?" she asks him in a slightly worried but honest voice while giving him a slightly forced smile trying to hide her current feelings on the matter
Hajime merely unconsciously gives Aiko a head pat he's used to doing for Jack, Nursery Rayme, Illya, Miyu, Kuro, and Abby to reassure them that he was fine. Aiko how suddenly being giving gentle head pats makes her face light up right in slight embarrassment but surprisingly not removing Nagumo's hand off her head because it felt nice for some reason. Even though she's an adult which causes her slight confusion
Aiko "Um Nagumo-san?" she says to him in a slightly embarrassed but questioning voice
Hajime "Ah sorry Hatayama sensei, it was a force of habit giving head pats to adorable things when they were forcing themselves to feel something. When clearly they were feeling down or upset. That was rude of my sorry" he says to her in an apologetic voice while removing his hand from her head.
Aiko "Is that so, then don't worry about it since the head pat felt nice anyway. But please understand that your sensei is a grown woman even this she looks like this. Just be careful next time" she says to him in a slight admonishing but embarrassed voice while having slight flush cheeks but a more relaxed and genuine smile on her face
Hajime "I'll be sure to do so, however sensei just because you look like a child doesn't mean aren't a catch yourself. You're cute after all so don't worry I'm sure you'll find your special someone," he says to her in a respectful but reassuring voice while having a slight smile on his face
Aiko "It seem your a faltter as well Nagumo-san. But I think you should worry about your private life and future than an old lady such as myself. But thanks for the compliment Nagumo-san even though it may never happen. After all who'd wish to be someone such as myself for the fear of being named a lolicon and having to explain every time to the police that I am in fact legal," she says to him in a slightly cheerful but honest voice with a slightly sad smile on her face
Hajime "I'd say those guys are a bunch of idiots, but trust me Sensei while you may have given up at finding someone. You'd be surprised when one day you'll find who likes you for you and wouldn't give a damm about standing next to you side by side looking like a lolicon. I mean even if someone like me could find his special one I'm sure you could" he says to her in a blunt but honest voice while giving her a reassuring but slightly sad smile
Hajime (It's probably best I don't mention having multiple) he says to himself mentally in a slightly sad voice remembering his lovers
However, it was then he heard Aiko's voice breaking his train of thought
Aiko "Is that so, surprisingly when you say such a thing Nagumo-san I feel like I can believe your words." she says to him in a slightly surprised but kind voice
Aiko "However, would you take responsibility for your words in giving your sensei's hopes up for such a thing," she asks him in a slightly questioning but honest voice while having an unusual hopeful but tired smile on her face with eyes filled with slight hope but internally
Aiko (I can't believe I just said that or rather why did I say that!? He's my own student for goodness sakes it would be bad if people found out!) she says to herself mentally in a flustered but shocked voice
However, a brief silence descends upon them however Aiko takes that silence his answer and speaks up
Aiko "I guess that would be the case huh. Sorry for asking you such a thing please forget about it. I guess I'll be returning the others even though I don't wish for them to do so. It's hard being a Sensei after all" she says to him in an honest voice while giving him a slight smile before turning her back towards him
Aiko (It was for the best, I should be proud that I'm teaching my seito(student) right. After all, he didn't accept my improper offer get it together Aiko) he says to herself in a slightly admonishing but sad voice
Hajime merely watching the back of his sensei clutching his fists hard wanting to say something to her but just couldn't
Emiya (...I see you didn't accept her offer to you why? I know you don't care about what society or anyone else thinks) he says to him in questioning but a curious voice
Hajime (...Her offer caught me off-guard, but I simply couldn't give her an empty promise. It's just not my style) he says to him back in an honest but blunt voice
Emiya (You may just have extinguished her last chance of hope at finding someone to love) he says to her in a serious voice
Hajime (Perhaps, but I'd rather make a girl or woman cry than giving her fake promises where she'll never have my heart to her along with my affection. Since it seems I still love a dead woman and the others after all) he says to him in a serious but honest and sad voice
Emiya (If Gudako or the others head you say that they would be disappointed or outright leave you in a half-dead state for doing such a thing.) he says to him in an honest but serious voice
Hajime (No doubt, but it seems I'll need more time to get over them and everyone else for that matter. I'm just not ready yet to open my heart to someone again) he says to him in a sad but honest voice
Emiya (Can't or Won't?) he says to him in a serious voice
Hajime (...Please drop this matter Emiya I'd rather not be in a more foul mood than I already am) he says to him in a slightly pained but serious voice
Emiya (As you wish master but you and I both know you can't stay like this forever) he says to him seriously but blunt voice before cutting off the connection as to not hear his response
Hajime (...I know) he says to himself mentally as he sees Aiko talking with the others having a reassuring smile he knows she's faking
Heiligh Kingdom Capital City, Nobles district road leading Towards the Royal palace, September 9th, 8 am Emiya and Duke pov
Duke Louis Arthur Charles is one of the three Duke houses within the Heiligh Kingdom. He's a late forty middle-aged man with slight sliver and brown hair, brown eyes with sideburns. He stands at 189cm tall with a slight slim but muscular figure. He's cunning but one of the most loyal men to the crown even if it means he sometimes does things that if caught, He'd be charged with treason or a heretic from the church for trying to start a rebellion or being against humanity in giving out slight vital information to the demon race about the surrounding kingdoms. Be it their patrol route, who's in power, and military might.
His faction and Inner circle within Heiligh kingdom are on par with his rival faction of the Duke Calwford von Dormer, The King's and Princess Liliana's Royal Faction, and the Neutral faction of Duke William de Percy. Of courses the are other noble factions within the Heiligh Kingdom but he and the other three have the most power and sway within the Kingdom.
He sometimes is a lustful man judging from having his primary wife who is the exact age as him, his three concubines who are either just two years under him, or as old as his eldest daughter at 17ys of age. Along with having 5 Beastmen slaves within his household that he and everyone within the estate use at their leisure including his maids and butlers. Said beastmen is a male child with tiger ears and tail only 9 yrs of age, An Elf who looks to be fourteen years of age but is actually 76yrs of age according to her, An handsome middle-aged cat-eared man with a slightly muscular build who apparently is married to the Other cat earned late twenties beastmen woman and finally a cute young fox eared girl who appears to be 10 yrs old. He has ten children with one being his eldest son who 20yrs of age from his wife, His eldest daughter who's 17yrs of age from his wife, his second eldest son who's 19yrs of age from the first concubine, his second eldest daughter at 16yrs of age from his first concubine, his third eldest twin daughters being 16yrs of age as well from his second concubine, His third eldest twin sons who are 17yrs of age from his second concubine and his youngest twin daughters being 3 yrs of age from his third concubine.
Of course, he and his sons, wives, and daughter sired bastard beastmen children from their slaves as well save for his youngest daughters, but as soon they were born he and the rest sold them off to the black market since they wanted nothing to do with them. Though they had to convince their children in the beginning as to why they were giving their children away to a shady man who'd always call to pick up their bastard children. The same could be said for all their staff as well when their sired bastard children with the beastmen slaves as well. Of course, these beastman slaves were the sixth batch he bought since he went through five other batches once they were all broken and didn't respond anymore. Which now his current batch was about to break as well so he'll have to go to the market to buy some new ones. Of course, he always buys Beastmen bastards sired buy other nobles within the Kingdoms since getting new beastman slaves that aren't tainted but nobility blood is rare within the Kingdom compared to the Hoelscher Empire who always get new Beastman slave every month or so. However, for the rest of the surrounding kingdoms, they have to do with buying bastard beastman children from other nobles sired as well.
However, almost two weeks now he's concocted a scheme that should it succeed he'll have a bastard child sired by an apostle of God in his hands to hold over a stubborn but now dangerous apostle. Which in doing so his own faction within will gains even more power than maybe just might put them above the other factions. Which the King agreed to his scheme in doing so in hope of having a leash or chain around the now dangerous apostle Nagumo Hajime. However, as he'd own his carriage with his spy maid Ava who came to report her successful mission in seducing said dangerous apostle with her body and are now in a supposed relationship. Though if he's lead to believe by her reports the apostle Nagumo Hajime is a beast of a man carrying a serious package in bed who leaves Ava satisfied. It is bigger than his own by an inch in length though it seems Ava did an unnecessary thing in telling her supposed forbidden love to the other maids within his estate with Nagumo Hajime. Which said maids now from whispers or off-handed comments about them wanting to a taste for themselves. Even his wife and daughters wanting a piece of the action as well.
Though normally he'd feel some kind of inferiority complex or jealousy about hearing such about potentially his wife and concubines would have an affair with the dangerous apostle. At first, he did along with all his sons as well, it faded soon after their and they simply accepted it as a natural thing. After all, they are apostles of god that their good allowed them to summon for the good of humanity. It is was only natural that one if not all of them would be able to have the skills and knowledge to please a woman and get into the minds of women about have a taste for themselves. However, as he looked out the window of his carriage overlooking the roads and passing citizens within the Kingdom for just a brief moment he managed to capture a full black arrow hitting his window and slightly passing through a said window about to reach his forehead. However, he knows it's already too late to avoid his oncoming death but for some reason without any thought or proof on who would manage to assassinate him. He had one person in mind that popped in his head as he thought back to last night's ball meeting the apostle Nagumo Hajime simply smiling at him.
Louis (I guess this is divine retribution. I should have known you can't try to control the apostles of Ehito. Well played, though all I can hope is that my family will be spared with my death) he says to himself mentally in an accepting but honest voice
Those were his last thought before the sound of glass breaking was heard as well the should of pop within the carriage was heard before the second sound of blood gushing out along with a thud was heard as blood sprayed all over the carriage and on the maid Ava. The Carriage soon came to a stop just a few feet away from the black arrow sunk into the pathed ground with slight shredded but the still slight smiling head of duke stuck on it. As the arrow took the head of duke through the bottom of the carriage and into the pathed road.
However, On top of the highest point in the Market District. About 5km away from the now assassinated location of Duke Louis Arthur Charles. Was Emiya currently bring his bow down to resting potions after letting loose just a smile black arrow. As well-currently look how the ongoing chaotic scene unfolding as he was Seen the Maid Ava outfit coved in blood slumped down on the paved road, the various guards running towards her location as well the shocked and dispersing crowd of nobles and peasants alike. Along with the carriage driver trying to pacify the distress houses while still shacking and trembling in disbelief
He then turns his sight away from such a sight towards the front gate wall looking out into the distance of slight dust cloud in the distance about 12km away from the capital city's front gate.
Emiya (By the time word comes down to the guard detail at the front gate. The caravan would already be out of reach to them) he says to himself mentally
Emiya (Master target assassinated what's your next orders?) he asks him mentally in a slight serious but informing voice turn his attention back to the chaotic scene unfolding before him
12km away from Captial cities walls on the route towards Orcus Great Labyrinth. Hajime's private/personal carriage, September 9th, 8 am Hajime and Emiya pov
About 30minutes have passed on since they all got into the carriages assigned to them with himself having a carriage to himself along with his supposed gift. Who so far is slightly trembling in fear looking at him with slight teary and sacred eyes along with her rabbit ears flopped down on her head. Huddled in a cradle potion trying to make herself so small on the comfortable soft luxury seats opposite of him. The whole ride was him starring outside watching mother nature at its finest as they passed by. It was then he received Emiya's confirmation about completing his assignment and waiting for new orders
Hajime (Good work, hopefully with this the other nobles within the Kingdom who thought like Duke Louis wouldn't try anything stupid against myself and my classmates) he says to him in an informing but praising voice
Emiya (Thanks but what about the rest of his family, I'm sure you'd know the things they all done as well. They aren't blameless or pure in any means. They might try to pick up where Louis ended off) he asks him in a questioning voice
Hajime (The only ones in the depraved household that are pure are his youngest twin daughters. Like you said everyone else is a piece of scum that I'd like to send to hell letting Beni-Emma taking care of them. The same could be said for the maids and butlers in that estate as well. But every noble household within the Heiligh Kingdom is most likely the same as them or worse. I only got rid of him was simply because he was trying to put his disgusting hands on me and my classmates. Even though you don't know them like I do they are your fellow countrymen as well. So I'm sure you could sympathize with me) he says to him in an honest but serious voice with slight disgust in his voice
Emiya (Fair point but you still haven't given me new orders or answered my question) he says to him a serious but understanding voice
Hajime (His household was only being held together by him. So with him gone its game of thrones up in his household since it'll be a blood bath. But you know he had slaves within his estate yes. Dematerize and sneak into his mansion and find where they are being held or currently at. Give them a swift but merciful death since that's all we can do for them now. I'm sure you understand what I mean) he says to him in a cold but informing voice
Emiya (I understand, but what if they some are bearing children or are currently occupied at the moment?) he asks in her serious bur informing voice
Hajime (...Even more so since their children have no future and if they're occupied at the moment kill everyone around them first before you kill them. While you're at it make sure you kill the maids bearing beastmen children as well since the Duke bought male Beastmen slaves as well.) he says to him in a cold but commanding voice
Emiya (I'm assuming I'm allowed to kill his wife, concubines, or daughters if I find out they're carrying beastmen children as well) he says to him in a questioning ut serious voice
Hajime (You'd know the answer to that question after everything I just told you. All we can be thankful that Kiara or Kama isn't here. Once you're done with that make your way out of the city heading towards Orcus. We'll reconvene there) he says to him in an informing but honest voice
Emiya (Right, I must be on my then, I'll let you know once I'm done giving the slaves a peaceful death. See you soon) he says to him in an informing but serious voice
After hearing Emiya's last words Hajime felt the mental connection between himself and Emiya cut off. He lets out a slightly tired sigh looking toward the rabbit man child in front of him once more. He then speaks up
Hajime "I'm sure you are aware but now you belong to me whether be it good or bad. I know you overhead my conversation with the people who brought you to me. So you know I'm not like the rest of them, with that being said. What is your name child" he says to her in a gentle but slight warm voice
All he sees is the girl's rabbit ears go up in attention to his words. However, that's all he got was silence with the girl still fearful of him but not as much
Hajime (...This is going to be my day isn't) he says to himself mentally already knowing the answer to his stupid and obvious question.
Unknow world, Random Forest Two day journey from the town of TANSKA within the Empire on the continent of Falmart, Almost two weeks since the Ginza Incident, IC687(Imperial Calendar) September 9th, 10 pm unknown povs
A boy and a girl who look to be 12ys of age were running with all they could muster after a brave but foolish oni-san and onee-san with bunny ears gave them an opening to escape. All they has now was brown rag cloth draped over them with the sides being opened up revealing their fair skin. Well used to be clean and fair skin which now have either scrapes, signs of bruising, lash marks on their backs, and whip marks on their butts and legs. Which are now exposed or occasional being exposed as they ran since the cloth rag was all they had for clothing. It didn't help they had an iron collar on their necks either which was placed on the three months before they were brought to this place. They were kidnapped by people from the Empire, which they didn't know at the time to be taken as slaves when their parents were out of the house. The boy has short but slight dark brown spiky hair with blue eyes, while the girl has medium-length red hair with light orange eyes.
Both used to have slim figures like children their age did, but since spending three months in this unknown world, the boy had a slight well-toned but muscular figure while the girl was starting to have a slightly well-toned figure but her body was showing signs of curves to it as well along with her chest size used to being an A changed to a B cup. This was sadly noticed but they supposed keepers just yesterday, luckily they could say that they weren't raped yet but they were molested from time to time by their guards protecting them or potential new owners who checked their bodies themselves. They weren't the only ones from Japan to kidnaped three months ago as they were ten others as well in their situation. Old middle-aged oji-sans, 14 to 16 yr old onee-sans, and children their age or under as well. They were lucky since they weren't separated from each other in the city of Italica before they were sent here to a slave owner. They were at least grateful for that since their twin siblings. The animal eared Oji-san, Oni-sans, Onee-san, and regular Human Oji-sans, Onee-sans, and Oni-sans around them taught them whenever they could how to read and write the native language of the Empire and where ever they came from. As of now they can read basic words and understand the language a little
However, they knew that it was a matter of time before their molestation became worse and yesterday they knew that had a single chance. Since they heard that bits and pieces that the Empire invasion through the gate that appeared on Alnus Hill failed with their expeditionary force slaughter to a man. And that their army reorganized army was marching on to Arnus once more. Becuase of that manpower all over the Empire decreased quite a bit with fewer patrols all around. So them two devised a plan with all the slaves in the camp they were in to escape and make a break for it. However, their plan ended in disaster since someone within the camp that was a slave let them and the rest of them hung out to dry after telling their plan to the man owner of all of them. However, after said slave was brought to the forefront of them to see who betrayed them. They all hated him and glared at the man but his reasoning while noble was a selfish one since he was promised he would see his family again. Who he was separated from him by people who enslaved him and his family.
But he was hit by cold reality when the disgusting and mocking grins of the guard detail and the owner brought out his wife and 15 and 16yr old daughters on leashes who were in the nude and broken in judging from their happy grins and having slowing bellies from pregnancy. All of us seeing that only felt pity and rage for the man as well saw him simply fall to the ground weeping blood curly yelling his wife and daughters name in denial. It was then the man was rammed through the chest by one of the guard's longsword and the same was done to the wife and daughters only through the swollen bellies before all being decapitated. From there they asked all of us to return to our holden cells after we had knocked out the guard holding the keys to the cell doors. However, in doing so the people around us were asked to send us forward to face punishment. But everyone could see what type of punishment would befall us should we have done what was asked judging from the disgusting grin they all had looking at us.
It should be surprising since we were an exotic cute girl and boy from a place beyond the gate. However, slightly and reluctantly accepting the horrible fate that will befall us. The brave but foolish Oni-san and Onee-san beside us knelt beside us and whispered in our ears to run. It was then they pushed us away from the group before they charged at the owner and twenty guards he brought with him to stop all of us. Which wasn't all of them since they were fifty guards in total all over the camp. However, it was then following them were the other oni-sans, oji-sans and onee-sans also charged at the group as well. Which caught the owner and the guards by complete surprise. However, we know after still having the keys as ran through the camp evading the guards and opening other cells of slaves. Who also charged at the guards or helped us just a bit by making sure jumping on a guard only to be run through by a sword. Or being forced down against their wills telling us to leave. We knew with tears in our eyes as we made it out of the camp and into this forest. The blood curly yells of Onee-sans to get off of them or yells of rage from the Oji-san and Oni-sans yelling to get off of her or spill out hateful words. Of how they all ended up or would end up since just before when entered the forest we could more armed men from the empire were coming down the dirt road towards the camp.
It was then after running through the forest barefooted for about three hours now always checking behind them. from the constant running through the unknown dark forest, both of them tripped on a branch and were sent tumbling to the ground carried by their momentum. They eventually came to a stop on cold hard muddy dirt with dryer leaves all around them. They both let out a yelp of pain since it seems they both while tumbling small cuts on their knees, arms, and face as little blood was starting to come out from their skin. Normally they would scream in pain and start crying like normal children their age. However, all they did was wince at the sudden stinging feeling from their new cuts on them. After all, they felt worse pain by now since they were wiped, punched, or kicked hard and even had bruised bone or two. It was the boy who slowly was getting up along with now breathing heavily spoke up to his twin sister
? "Come on Nee-chan... we still need to... get a move on," he says to in a tried but slightly determined voice
? "...I know Onii-chan...after all we can't...let the people...who sacrificed themselves for us...died in vain," she says to him in a tired but frustrated voice
? "That's true...now get up since we don't know...when those men from the empire... would catch up to us," he says to her in tired but slightly pined voice extending his hand to his sister kneeling body after getting up first
? "I know...so do you know...where we are heading...from this horrible fantasy world," she says to him in a tired but questioning voice grabbing his hand to stand up
? "Back to otou-san and Okaa-san...I'm sure they are worried...about us," he says to her in a tired but sad voice
? "To Arnus Hill then?... How can we be sure that the gate the guards mentioned...leads back to our world?" she asks him in a tired but questioning voice while standing up finally
? "...We don't but... it's better than staying here..." he says to in a slight more composed but still tired voice
? "Then...What if doesn't lead us back to our home?" she asks him in a slight worried but still tired voice
? "We'll...I'm sure we'll think of something if it comes to that," he says stays to her in an honest but slightly worried voice
? "I...guess all we do is wait and hope then..." she says to him in an honest voice but a worried voice
? "Wait and Hope, Come one put your arm over my shoulder and I'll do the same to you. I'm sure we can't run at the moment because of the pain we're currently feeling," he says back to her in an honest but worried voice as well.
He sees his sister nod at his words and does put her arm around him and he does the same to her. From there they both look ahead as they begin to walk in a hurried but slightly limping fashion hoping the Empire men don't catch them. however, while they didn't say it out loud since they knew if they did their brief but determined will would vanish as they thought in unison.
?/? (Please Okaa-san, Otou-san, anyone please come save us) they thought in a slight terrified and scarred voice
However, as they walked through the dark and unknown forest. Both them the Empire and everyone else at the time didn't notice another gate forming in the northern part of Seth Lake near TANSKA. As well as what destruction it would bring along with it not counting the oncoming counter-attack of the JSDF. But at the moment watching the two human slave children from on top of the trees were various pairs colored glowing of eyes looked down on the two. However, all of them soon looked toward each other as the tiny nude bodies say for stockings and four transparent but varied colored wings. All nodded in unison as they began to flap their wings from up above, as the swarm of them began to fly slowly keeping an eye on the mysterious but determined children
Tortus Holy Precincts, Ehito/Ehitruje pov September 9th unknown time
Ehito was currently fleeing frustrated since yesterday when the two pseudo goddesses showed up again and couldn't do anything about it. Apparently to clear up the doubt he had as to why their chosen pawn would deal with him. Apparently, it has to do with how he operates his world and eventually because of how he is. He would do something so foolish that he would unknowingly cross paths with their chosen pawn. Which from there he'll end up putting his pawns in his world to harass him or try to cause him harem unknowingly. Even though he would remain neutral within his game and would cause huge misunderstandings because of him. From there things would play out with him somehow earning their pawns ire, and wrath. Apparently, this pawn of theirs is uncontrollable to them at the moment and because of something so foolish that their own pawns did. It ended up that said pawn decide to make those pawns pay along with countless innocent pawns to be dragged down with him caused the board game they've been playing to go insanely and unexpectedly.
So what he go from their words is that those goddesses even though they're strong enough as him, they failed to take out their own traitorous pawn unlike him. Who over a couple of thousand years ago he managed to deal with several pawns who rebelled against him. It seems he was smarter than those goddesses which caused him a little joy and having an ego boost. Since he knows that this pawn of theirs wouldn't be a threat to him and who knows after dealing with said pawn should he'd feel like it, he'll get both goddesses to owe him a favor. However, as his mood was changing for the better he felt a disturbance too late as he turned his non-existence sight towards the sea of trees we're his failure of pawns reside and being protected by because one said rebellious pawn he managed to deal with. While he can't see it he knows within that stupid forest something invaded his garden that he didn't allow to pass.
Ehito/Ehitruje (Well it seems someone decided to add an unknown extra set of chess pieces without my approval to my game...Now then how should I let out my anger at this new unwanted development) he says to himself as he narrows his none existent eyes at the Sea of Trees
Tortus Sea of Trees Beastman Country of Verbergen, Central Plaza area September 9th, 10 pm Unknown pov
The central plaza of Verbergen was bustling as usual as various beastmen from differing tribes from Bearman, Foxmen, Harpies, Tigerman, Elves, and so on move from stall to stall looking at the various vendor goods, children playing around, the guard detail looking relaxed or simply heading to their homes. However, soon everyone stopped what they were doing as they all felt something off in the air as Beastmen never the center of the Plaza quickly from their danger instincts kicking in moved from their potions away from whatever was slowly materializing in front of their eyes. Soon all the guard detail around the Plaza sprang into action as they soon moved a few feet away from whatever was materializing, Archers from the large branches all around them soon strung their bows primed at their target. The civilians were soon told to leave the area and head to their homes for now. Soon all that was left was just the guard detail of two companies worth of Beastmen infantry of various divisions and archers in the treetops or high points in the plaza. Eventually whatever it was soon materialized completely in their eyes.
A beautiful white gate-like structure being, 16 meters across and 17 meters tall. The white-like pillars with blue large gems embedded into each of the white pillars spaced 10ft appear and the roof of the gate was triangle-like with a large azure gem at the center of it. However, even though they knew it was beautiful to look at they all felt slight and rage dread looking at it. After all, it looks like it was built by either human or demon hands judging from its aesthetic nature it. Soon fears set upon their minds think that somehow that humans or demons managed to find a way around their defenses into their country. Either to slaughter them all or enslave them to be taken away like countless others. But after waiting for a few minutes with nothing showing up or emerging from the gate. it was then one of the squad leader captains within the two companies spoke up out loud.
Squad captain Bearman leader "Alright listing up, the rest of us will hold our positions here. I need people to go inform the elder council, the supreme commander, and the five generals about the situation at hand. While other ten people will go from door to door evacuating people in the vicinity of the gate to a secure location. We aren't going to lose our brethren because of our indecisiveness. You all have your orders now go!" he yells out loud in a commanding but serious voice
At his voice, twenty Harpies and Elves from different units within the company scatter to either find their supreme commander, five generals, elder councilmen, or start evacuating people nearby. As the remaining people within the two companies stood their ground to await reinforcements or waiting for potential enemies to emerge from the gate.
However, the supposed sole god Ehito/Ehitruje wasn't the only one who noticed something coming into the world As across the sea different continents. Hidden gods and goddesses, A demon lord and her hero Husband along with those versed in the magical and arcane. All turned for the second time within the two weeks towards the east with slight curiosity or slight dread not knowing what currently going on on the forbidden continent. The same could be said to the south of the Demon Kingdom-owned lands. a powerful courtesan, prostitute, or whore also turned towards the north unconsciously with a raised eyebrow. The same could be said for their own powerful individuals also turned towards to look towards the north. Along with those with the Trotus continent as well with the Demonking looking towards the north, A flying black dragon narrowing its eyes at the sudden brief but a long explosion of mana and deep in an unwanted part of Verbergen where the rabbitmen Haulia tribe survive and unusual light blue hair Rabbit eared young teen looked towards Verbergen in a slight teary-eyed but a concerned expression. As they could all feel the wheels of fate began to turn.
...To be continued...
And done. I hope like always thought the chapter was decent enough for you guys to read through or at least thought it was okay. Now before anyone asks no the Gate did not open in Hajime's version of Earth since like I said Alaya and Gaia would've deleted that damm thing before it even got through after Wannabe god took humans from their world publicly for the whole world to see. It happened on a different one, that's enough information on that topic for now. Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoyed the various character interactions within the chapter. Though do leave your criticisms and thoughts on the chapter if you have any that is. With that being said Next week's chapter will pick up With Hajime and the Rabbitbeast man Haulia tribe girl which for the record isn't an Oc but is a cannon background character and sometimes a side character in Arifureta After story. Along with them arriving l at the town where Orcus Great Labyrinth resides in. Along with hopeful me working brief action scenes as well. Deepens though on how the next chapter unfolds.
Also finding out as to why Hajime is a God Holder like Magus association enforcer Bazett Fraga McRemitiz.
Anyhow down below I'll be adding extra servants to Gudao's and Gudako's harems, yuri harems, or reverse harems. Since new servants have been added since I started writing this story. Though they'll have question marks next to them for now since it is uncertain they'll stay within Gudao's or Gudako's Yuri Harem, Harems, or reverse Harems. Since Like I said I'll be doing an additional poll as to who enters Hajime's FGO harem. That you can vote on my profile if you wish to do so or leave it as a review choice. That's if you want to of course since that's what the question marks are for next to the names of the new servants.
