Ok, I think this ff will be over in 1 or 2 more chapters...
Once again, thanks for reviews/comment/follows/faves! Love it!
It's a bright place with candles and warm fire all over place,
A lot of Succubus and Incubus gathered in a big hall, politely gesturing to each other as they met and having a very calm chat through the times. A Succubus and Incubus sitting on the side throne, the incubus has blonde hairs and blue eyes while the succubus is rather white hair and blue eyes. They both are wearing a majestic fur coat and fashion and a golden crown with shining red gems decorating it.
An incubus standing near the main throne, wearing black tuxedo and decent dark blue trouser, not to forget his very stylish boots that made him looks a lot cooler. He steps a little to the front and began to shout,
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the Coronation Ceremony of the Demon Empress…." He started his greeting.
Eli and Arisa standing on the side of the room— Eli is in a very majestic and decent looking fashion. Arisa is less on that, she is rather look sweet than majestic.
"Onee-san…. Are you nervous?" Arisa asked.
Eli remained quiet for a moment…
"A little…" she replied.
"Good luck, Onee-san…." Arisa said with a sweet smile.
Eli sighed weakly.
"Thanks…."
"….please welcome, Mistress Ayase Eli…" he said politely as he gestured, Eli gently steps to the throne as the audience claps their hands. As Eli sit on the Throne, the Succubus and Incubus who sat on the side throne stood up and approached Eli. They waited for a succubus to arrive with a crown then they both placed the crown on Eli's head very carefully. The audience cheered. The Succubus and Incubus returned to their seat.
"The Mistress is chosen by the representatives from Ayase Family, Bathory Family, Lambert Family, and a few other families which were invited during the night, this decision is strengthen by the achievement history of Mistress Ayase Eli herself, for example, bringing a culture to our kind, introducing our kind with farming and gathering method, discovered a way to preserve our food, introducing our kind with decent fashion, and some more achievements which already recorded in the library of our world. Hopefully, the Mistress will never stop to make us proud and prosper…" he continued.
"May the God bless our kind for a better future, because we believe He will never abandon us, the sinner of Eden, hear our voice, hear our prayer…" he said along with the audience.
And the room is quiet for a moment.
"You may continue the party…" the incubus said before he left the throne area. The audience began to chat with each other again. Eli sighed a little weakly before Arisa decided to approach her.
"There… you did it, no tripping, no sneezing, no coughing…" Arisa said.
"Yeah…. Phew…" Eli said.
Arisa giggled.
"I know it's too sudden, but, they've been planning this from long ago… They always told me that you're indeed need a title soon…" Arisa said.
"I understand… They've been living in this throne for too long and need to stop worrying it…" Eli said.
"It's your responsibility and everyone always wanted you to be their mistress…" Arisa said.
Eli sighed again,
"I knew that too…" Eli said.
"Look at the bright side, you're now free to change the rule… you can get a grip on everything…" Arisa said.
"It will be a very hard work though, to make it perfect I mean… there are so much things need tending and I some needs to be done from scratches… our kind is still very outdated compared to the humans…" Eli said.
"True… and it seems that the creatures around here are still untamed… and we're all still learning how to breed them… Some of them joked about this before, said that we should just farm human…" Arisa sighed.
"We can't do that… they're not meant for that although I know it's possible…" Eli said.
"I'm sure you'll say that… and they're also sure that you'll say that…. that's why they're just joking about it…. they told me too that…if you ever actually want to make a new relation system with human too, you should tell them so that they can apply it. The current relation system is still a little….uh…barbaric…" Arisa said.
"I've already come up with plans… but mostly, I would like to make human as teacher and friend not food… We've been consuming them for too much time and they've been through so much trouble too, because I've never actually think about them before… I'd like to stop it…. I know it will be a little hard… but maybe we can start from limiting them to a specific level… which might be a good way to keep the human prosperity in control…" Eli explained.
"I'm sure there will be some who give you the voice, you're not the only one who fell in love with human…" Arisa said.
"I hope so…" Eli said.
"Ey-Eli! Or maybe… Mistress Eli?" Suddenly a succubus arrived along with a few incubus and succubus.
"Oh… Marietta de Lambert…" Eli greeted her and gestured with the others.
"Greetings… I'm here to confirm something…" she said.
"What is it?" Eli asked.
"There's a been a gossip, you're dating a non-demon….. is that true?" she asked.
Eli quiet for a moment.
"Yes it is true…" Eli said.
"Wow, you confirmed it so quickly… that was expected from the proud mistress… I believe you also can introduce us to her soon, right? I trust she have a quality that we will be amazed at?" she said.
"Yes, she will be a role model for our next generation…" Eli said gently.
"A role model? Hmm… knowing Eli…. Hmmm… nope…nothing come in mind… Who knows what kind of girl you're interested at? Like… I was sure even the hottest demon around here can't attract you—Oh wait…. You're that hottest demon…" she giggled.
"There, Marietta…!" the other succubus warned her.
"I'm sorry-I'm sorry…it just can't be helped… but to tell you the truth, Eli… there's so many demons wanting you from ever since you showed up to the public… then knowing you would only want one relationship at times make them all racing to become the greatest so you notice them…. and then you suddenly appeared to be in love with a non-demon… They're really curious about this person now…"
Eli smiled,
"I'll surprise you later… but, I just wanted to have a few opinions…. What do you think of human?" Eli asked.
"Delicious…" said one of them.
"Charming…" said the other.
"Bunch of Idiots…"
"Cultured…"
"Just fine…"
"Crunchy…"
"Their infants taste good…"
"Hypocrite…"
"I'm sure you're just trying to think of the relation system, yes?" Marietta said.
"Yes…" Eli said.
"You should talk to Bathory… they're usually be the one with best knowledge about it… but if I have to suggest you something, you still should bring your lover here and show them what kind of quality that made you in love with her. You've already become a good role model for some, showing the other person might be a good way to give a new optional standard…" she replied.
"Thanks, I'll put that in consideration…" Eli replied after she nods gently.
"You will? Great! Remember Eli, you're now a biggest influence to us all… the future of our kind is on your shoulder…" Marietta said.
Eli just replied with another smile, Arisa giving her a slight concerned looks.
The Bathory estate, Library, afternoon;
Eve standing with a bag on her arm and a big capsule on the other arm,
"Come on, Meg, we can't delay it! Why are you taking me here?" Eve said.
"Calm down…. Take it easy…. It won't be as bad as you think…" Meg said as she keep on searching something.
"A giant werewolf might be destroying the town by now! Do you think I can stand here and doing nothing?" Eve yelled.
"You're not doing nothing, you're currently breathing and holding those things on your arms…" Meg said.
"Haha-very funny…" Eve said sarcastically.
"Listen, I've been thinking about something… and I really-really wanted to know about it… This might be a good answer for one critical question that I've been really wanted to hear from that person… if she will ever show up in this kind of mess…"
"If you're talking about your competition with Eli, this is really not a good time to think about it…" Eve said.
"This is why I said no to your challenge before— you often made competition sounds like just a mere crap…" Meg said.
"Challenge? Do I ever challenge you?" Eve said.
"Huh? Yes, you did…. You said : I hate that you never look at me in the eyes, you should've known that I wanted it so badly...jerk face…."
Eve is about to drop her stuffs, though she remember those are important stuffs. She just stunned in her place.
"Then I said, I'm only interested on the other side of the twin, which means Lilith. She always takes competition seriously …" Meg said.
Eve really doesn't know what to say.
"Ah, either way… I really have to work this out… let's hope it's still not too late…" Meg said before she continues to work on what she has been doing.
Eve still remained quiet in her place… frozen and silent as her jaw dropped.
The town center,
Leon began to be more panic as he keeps on throwing vehicles on Nozomi who've been chasing him in anger. Nozomi only keep on protecting herself from it and keep on running to get him. Her run supposedly to be quick enough, though she keeps getting slowed by the attack that Leon did.
It was very brutal that almost no police or anyone else able to stay near them. Umi, Honoka, Kotori, Rin, and Hanayo decided to follow them with a helicopter which height is a lot higher from them. Niko had to accompany Maki to go back to clinic since she is still unconscious.
A lot of people evacuated from the area, vehicle all over the area, some are broken some are just flattened, buildings breaking down, broken glasses and electric poles— the city is a big mess.
"Damn it, if only Nozomi could stop him…" Umi said.
"She can, but I think that's only if he can stop throwing vehicles on her…" Kotori said.
"I wonder if we can trap him like before-nya…" Rin said.
"I think they already called a military…" Hanayo said.
"They did?" Umi asked.
"Yes, according to the data..." Hanayo said.
"Are you hacking the security system?!" Kotori said.
"Uh…I had to? Arisa taught me before…" Hanayo said.
"T-That's still amazing… but is that okay?" Umi said.
"I'm not doing anything to it, just keeping track of their command… " Hanayo said.
"Uhn...maybe you can just suggest them to block the Lion's path and let Nozomi-chan catch him?" Kotori said.
"It would be nice, but I think I want him alive so he can face his justice…" Umi said.
"So we need to somehow stop Nozomi-chan before she kills him?" Honoka asked.
"Yes, but I'm not sure with how things will go… in all honesty, it scares me to imagine if our attempt to stop her will enrage her further…" Umi said,
"It's still worth a try-nya!" Rin said.
Ayase's residence, afternoon;
A big portal appeared on Arisa's room— Eli and Arisa came out from it and they are already in casual clothes.
Eli sighed heavily.
"That was tiring…" Eli said.
"You still have to pack up, Onee-san…." Arisa said.
"You're right… and… I still have to finish an unfinished matter…" Eli said.
"I think Nozomi-chan is safe…and will do good on impressing everyone…" Arisa said.
"I'm not sure, in all honesty… maybe if we took her a while back, she will be… but… lately… you see…. she is a little…. Hard to control…" Eli said.
"I'm not sure what kind of change, but… I do notice she is a little strange and her aura seems to be darkening… maybe it just because of the moon phase? It will be full moon tonight…" Arisa said.
"Her aura darkening?"
"Yes… I've seen her aura as a werewolf before… it was just ok, but days by days it just getting darker and darker… there also a time when I could feel that she is being watched… I've never mentioned it because she seems fine getting through that…" Arisa said.
"I never can't actually see it… but…if you're the one who say it…" Eli paused.
"Hmm… Onee-san… you know, I think it's related to the time when she took back a spirit from the mountain…" Arisa said.
"Huh? What kind of relation it has?"
"You see… she is a lot more prideful after that day and there never be a day without seeing her lusting over you, either from her phone or looking at you directly… It's kind of creepy for me but I can't complain… you're her lover…"
"She told me it just a harmless spirit… I've witnessed too that they're just a pack of gentle wolf…" Eli said.
"I see… then maybe it just my feeling…" Arisa said.
"Probably… I trust Nozomi knows what she is doing… she won't be taking darkness in her… it just that she need to fight off her own desire… and I believe she can do it…" Eli replied.
"If you said so…" Arisa smiled.
"Now, I should go check on her, she probably already misses me…" Eli giggled.
"Yup, she is always loyal to you after all…" Arisa said.
Eli chuckled before she walks out of Arisa's room. Though as she got out…she stopped and her eyes tell that she…is very disappointed.
"Onee-san?" Arisa wondered.
Eli remained quiet.
"Onee-san what's wrong…?" Arisa decided to go out too and as she see what Eli see….
The bedroom door is broken, a lot of scars on the wall and floor, then one broken phone flattened on the floor.
"Nozomi…." Eli said softly.
Her eyes still couldn't believe what she sees…
"Onee-san… this might be just—…" before Arisa could finish her words, Eli ran out of home—which door is strangely not broken.
"Onee-san!" Arisa couldn't catch up with Eli who already flew away. Arisa turned up to the sky, it's gloom and black smokes all over the sky. Arisa is about to leave too but she turned to her home— she is clearly needs to take care of it first…
The town,
Leon keeps on going on his run— he is very sure that he will never be able to beat Nozomi on face to face fight— especially with Nozomi's armored claws that could bash down any obstacles that he attempted to throw at.
As Leon took a path to the left—he found that he is blocked by a military tank, then as he tried to go to the other way—another tank blocked him. He was thinking to jump on it instead of turning to another way but helicopters began to gather at the area— aiming their gun to him.
Nozomi slow down her move as she gets closer to Leon and she intimidated him with her teeth and growls.
"Surrender, Leon! You've caused too much damage to this town!" Umi shouted with a megaphone from the helicopter.
Leon frowned, he tried to run to a tank and attempted to lift it— but Nozomi quickly grabs him and smashed him to the ground at ease.
"Nozomi! Hold it!" Umi shouted. Nozomi could hear it— she paused for a moment.
"Don't kill him! We need to make him pay with justice!" Umi shouted again.
Nozomi only grabbed the weak Leon— he is clearly very damaged from the smash and he already turned back to his human form as Nozomi's hand holding him on his neck.
"Paralyze him and take him…" Umi shouted. The armies quickly prepared the car and everything else to get him. Nozomi let the armies took him away. The police and some journalist began to gather to take pictures and information. Some of the journalist started to try asking questions to Nozomi.
"That was a really amazing show, which company you're working at?"
Nozomi couldn't answer.
"Is it hard to move behind that costume?"
"How tall are you in real? Are you actually over 2,5 meters?"
Nozomi began to get overwhelmed by questions from the journalist.
"Aaaah! Please leave her alone!" Kotori said as she ran to her.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! She is working in my company! I'll take care of the later damage! Please don't sue her!" Kotori said as she held Nozomi's hand and trying to get her away from the crowd.
"Minami fashion center, is it? That's a very fine work, your werewolf costume looks very real…" said a journalist.
"Ah— so she is the boss! Care to answer some questions?" the journalist began to ask again.
"Uuhhnn…Umi-chaaaaan!" Kotori shouted. Umi quickly ran to her.
"Question and answer later! This is still a crime scene, get out! Get out!" Umi shooed them.
"That was a nice show, Prosecutor Sonoda, except it's a little too realistic…" said a detective— a very familiar detective.
"You…." Umi frowned.
"If I'm going to present in the court again, will I get humiliated again?" He said.
"It was you who disgraced yourself… we are all just putting logic and truth to create justice…" Umi said.
"Hah, big talks. The show is only bunch of frauds… fraud case, fraud prosecutor, fraud attorney, and fraud judges… all of you are actors, you know nothing about justice… the human's justice!" he said as he emphasized on 'human'.
Umi clenched her fist, though she tried her best to not to. Nozomi understand well about the conversation, though she tried her best to not be taken with her current emotion.
"You have problem? Let's take it to the court. See if anyone agrees with your justice…" Umi said calmly as she frowns at him.
"Sure…but this is just a reminder, I'll have so many things to use and I can even become a better prosecutor than you…"
"You know, you can always not present if you don't like our show…" Kotori said.
"After being ashamed in front of public? No… I'll have to do what it takes to get my name back… I am an ace detective… I know about a lot of things more than you…" he said.
"Just go home and prepare yourself… an empty argument like this will do nothing…" Umi said.
He smirked before he spits on Umi's clothes and left without any words. Umi is about to explode, though she tried to calm herself.
"Ah..Umi-chan…" Kotori quickly took out her handkerchief and hand sanitizer— attempting to clean the clothes,
"It's fine Umi-chan… he is just a loser…" Kotori said.
Umi remained quiet.
Nozomi watched the detective walking away from them, for some reason, she really wants to teach him a very good lesson. She roared once…
The detective turned around.
"N-Nozomi-chan! calm down!" Kotori said. Umi still quiet…
"Haha, are you owning a zoo now, Minami?" he said mockingly.
Nozomi roared again,
"That was a really nice sound, dude, being a mascot surely—…."
And before he could speak anything else, Nozomi jumped at him.
"Nozomi!" Umi began to move in panic.
"Nozomi-chan!" Kotori called her out.
Nozomi pin him to the floor, her eyes glaring at his frightened face. Then suddenly, a voice appearing in her head,
"He is humiliating your companion… kill him!"
Nozomi roared again and she bit off his head. Kotori and Umi couldn't say a word as they see it. Nozomi began to scatter her victim's body into pieces.
"The beast is attacking! Get armed!" The armies began to panic.
"Don't attack!" Umi shouted.
"No! Don't harm her!" Kotori shouted.
The armies still pointing their weapon to Nozomi.
"Please! This is just a misunderstanding!" Umi said.
"Please drop your weapon! She is harmless!" Kotori said.
Nozomi growled at the armies. Once again, she could hear a voice,
"They're threatening you! Don't be discouraged! You're an alpha! Show them your mightiness!"
And from that, Nozomi couldn't help herself— she jumped to one of the tank.
"W-wha…Nozomi-chan! Stop it!" Kotori shouted.
The armies began to shoot. Umi quickly took Kotori away to cover from the gunshots.
Nozomi ignored every bullet that's shot to he, a lot are recoiled from her hard skin which covered with furs or the armored claws that she had on. She began to break the tank's cap. The armies near it quickly made distance.
"Shoot it!" the other armies began to panic— one of the tank attempted to shoot her but Nozomi were able to smash the ammo away with the tank cap that she just took.
"H-Honoka! Where are you?!" Umi called her through phone as she tried to cover Kotori.
"I'm keeping an eye on Leon… we're already pretty far away from your position, what happen? I can hear gunshots!" Honoka replied.
"N…Never mind… it just that… Nozomi is losing control…" Umi said.
"Eh-hh!? Uhm…I—…"
"No-no! Stay there, Honoka, keep an eye on him… I'll find a way to solve it…" Umi said as she close the phone.
At the car at where Leon is bind,
"What's wrong, Honoka-chan?" Hanayo asked.
"Uhm… Umi-chan said Nozomi-chan is out of control…" Honoka said.
"Then you can go-nya…" a male voice.
"But, Rin-chan…. who will-wait….what?" Honoka turned to the source of the voice. A male police officer, he looks still young and—looks like someone. His face looks somewhat naughty and flirty though,
"Ah…You are…..?"
"Rin's papa -nya…" he smiled sweetly. Rin is just outside riding Maki's bike.
"W-wait…still though, Leon is going to be a trouble if there's no one to guard…" Honoka said.
Rin's papa smiled before he took off his hat, hiding his face then showed it again, he already grew orange furs on his cheek and whiskers near his mouth, his eyes glowing yellow and big cat ears appeared.
"I'll take care of him-nya!" He said cheerfully.
"Eeeh…?" Hanayo and Honoka surprised.
"I'm a pure blood… but don't tell Rin, ok? She is half werecat-nya…" he said.
"E-Ehhhh?!"
Up on the sky,
Eli giving a very disgusted looks on the town, there's so many vehicles broken here and there, ambulance going around, police cars and some other trucks inappropriately placed. Some houses and vehicles are burning. Electric poles fallen here and there, peoples are going around and even some blood pools seen along with the dead bodies.
Is this….Is this what I got from trusting her so much?
Eli thought as she keep flying, searching for clue about where she is.
Didn't I tell her to help others?
Eli thought again.
What about the game that I've planned with everyone? Is that the cause?
Eli thought and that's also the time when she passes through Nishikino clinic, she could see Maki being carried in by a few workers and Niko is next to her.
Maki…..did you got badly injured because of this?
She thought again.
I shouldn't have trusted her to anyone….
Eli said in her mind again,
No…that's not right... they might have done their best...but….she…..
Eli bit her lips.
I can't let this gone worse…
And that time, Eli could hear some gunshots from afar.
That…that must be them…
The town,
Nozomi shielded herself with her own armored claws as the armies barraged her with gunshots. Then she roared angrily before she ran to a tank and picking it up at ease, smashing them to the other tanks and slaughter some armies that weren't able to escape from her.
Umi quickly sneaks through the tanks, Kotori is already safely hiding inside a building— though she is still watching the progress from the small window.
Umi saw a broken tank— she quickly attempted to take out the metal tracks off it. She also tried to look for some others until she is able to collect about four metal tracks. Then right after she managed to completely strip them off the tanks, she began her plan with— turning into a satyr, combined the metal tracks and began to swing it around… she is planning to use it as a weapon.
The first move— she crashed her horns to Nozomi, shoving her further away from the armies that she is about to tear off. Umi swings the metal tracks and as she is about to whip her with it— Nozomi roared at her which somehow discouraged Umi slightly.
Yet Umi tried to stand still and she still decided to attempt on whipping Nozomi with it— yet as the metal tracks reach her, Nozomi grabs it and she swings Umi all the way around. It's clearly not a good idea to do it.
Nozomi started to feel slightly moved as she watches her friend thrown away and fell, she is about to go look for her but…
"She betrays you! Kill her! Don't be tricked by mercy!" a voice said in her head.
Nozomi roared again and she grabs the tank than placed near Umi. She lifts the tank up— looking at the fallen Umi who stare back into her in fear. Nozomi swears that part of her really doesn't want to do it.
"Mercy tricks you! Don't lose! Show your mightiness! This is how an alpha does it!"
And She is about to smash Umi down with the tank— yet before it happen, Honoka arrived with Rin and she quickly ran to Umi. The tank is close to smash her down, yet Honoka is able to hold it.
"Honoka….?" Umi said in awe.
"U-Umi-chan…. don't…just stay there…. Help me!" Honoka said. Umi quickly tried to stand up, she is a lot taller in satyr form.
Nozomi doubted her action, she is really not sure why she started doing so— and watching Honoka and Umi made her feel strange. To begin with, why did she even try to kill her friends?
Nozomi released the tank and making a distance, she grabs her head, feeling very dizzy.
"Why did you doubt? That's not how to be an alpha… that's not how you be… show your power!"
The armies began to prepare their weapon again, Umi and Honoka were able to place the tank away. Rin keep quiet as she watch everything happen until she could see a very fast shadow passing— she lift her sight up and…
"Eli-chan-nya!" Rin said.
Umi and Honoka look into the sky, Kotori also able to locate where Eli is as Eli flew lower— and she snatched Nozomi and takes her to fly away.
For a moment there, she is only staring at them in awe until she realized–Nozomi might be in a big trouble since Eli's face doesn't looks friendly to her. Kotori quickly ran out of the building,
"Umi-chan! Honoka-chan! Rin-chan! Let's catch up with her!" Kotori shouted.
"Eh? Why?" they get flustered,
"She might be in a big trouble!" Kotori shouted.
The Bathory Estate,
"Meg! Are you done yet?! We haven't even see where she is but I could hear the ambulance here and there! The Great Wolf also waiting us to guide them to her!" Eve yelled.
"For a moment, Eve! This is a very critical question and I'll have to be able to answer it right away!" Meg said as she keep on searching in her books.
"Meg! We don't have time for it! We need to stop Nozomi!" Eve yelled.
"I won't even care if the human world going to be destroyed— I'll be a lot more worried if her heart broken apart! Have you heard the information from Arisa?" Meg said.
Eve is quiet for a moment,
"What information, damn it?!" Eve yelled.
"Eli is crowned today… in this very morning…" Meg said.
"Huh?"
"My parents told me last night, even though they don't actually care about my opinion anymore… but… either way…. I do want her pride to be broken apart, but I do not want her heart to be broken apart… we don't need a heartless mistress… do I make sense to you?" Meg yelled.
Eve quiet for a moment,
"Fine…explain me…." Eve said.
"I know how it feels to be burdened by responsibility… Arisa shouted at me a while back, she is saying like I've never known how it feels to have a responsibility…. and ….. I know if this kind of thing will be actually happen like what I predict— there will be one question that will appear… and it is going to be a very critical question, a wrong answer will lead her to a wrong decision…and I don't want that to happen… it wasn't my attention… no…. I do not want to betray her…" Meg said.
"Meg…. you know what…. It's still hard to understand you…. when it comes about competition with Eli or sis, you're always being this weird…" Eve said.
"J-just, shut up for a few minutes! You were yelling at me in every ten seconds! It confuses me!"
Up on the sky,
Eli carried Nozomi which slowly turning back into her human form— Eli keep her in her embrace, though her eyes still full of anger. Nozomi calmed down from everything that she was thinking before, then as she saw her lover's face.
"Ericchi….?" she called her softly.
Eli didn't make a respond.
"Ericchi… I miss you already…." She hugged her tight and burrowed her face on her shoulder.
Eli's eyes soften slightly, though she frowns again as she shook her head.
No…. you don't miss me….. you've never loved me before…this...is not love. I'm such a fool to trust you...
There...stay tuned for the next~
