I'm back! Hello once again, and Welcome Back To Exploring Other Worlds!
Hey guys, miss me? No? Ok.
Ren will not be spamming magic, not only is that lazy writing, there's also a limit to how many spells a gate can throw out before damaging or breaking it.
I won't take up most of your time, Just wanted to let you all know, reviews are a thing so please use it. I'd like to know what you all think. Constructive criticism is always welcome. And if you really hate this fic, What're you doing reading Chapter 6?
Alright enough of that.
Let's begin. SPOILERS WILL BE MENTIONED FOR LIGHT NOVELS. IF ANIME ONLY YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Also some characters will be a bit ooc.
Chapter 6: ReZero Arc 3 Part 2
Duel Arena
*Clack! Clack!* The sound of wood hitting wood sounds out throughout the arena.
'Damn it let me hit you already! I've been on the defensive since the beginning. He won't give me a chance to do anything.'
*Clack!* I can't attack if this asshole doesn't stop. If only I could cast El Shamak …That might just work, all I need is an opening.
Using my Reinforced Leg I stomp on the ground, kicking up as much dust as possible. Blinding both of our visions.
Using the time I bought efficiently, I cast "El Shamak."
The question of how effective it is on Julius, I don't have an answer for. Considering he's not moving is a good sign, I hope.
I get close and go for a leg sweep. Said leg sweep is jumped over, and he swings in my direction.
'How the? Fucking Spirits.' My Shamak having lost its effect on him, We're back to a standstill.
"How cowardly, to hide in the dust and shadows." Fuck you too.
"Hey man, I've got to make my own openings, how else am I supposed to hit you?" Breaking the standstill, I run low to the ground picking up sand on the way. Once close enough our swords meet again.
*Clack!*
And again.
*Clack!*
And again.
*Clack!*
And one last time.
*Clack!* After the last one, he stops attacking. Our swords stuck in place between each other. "Your raw speed and strength make up for your lack of skill."
"Thank you."
"That was not a comp-" His sentence is interrupted by the fistful of sand I throw at his face.
Using this opportunity, I kick his leg, taking him off balance. I get a few hits on him before his sword starts glowing.
"Clarista!" I try blocking it with my sword, the impact of the attack sending me flying backwards into a wall.
"Gkeh!" Spitting out blood, I try to stand back up only to fall back down. 'My arm's broken, it hurts.' Trying again, I'm able to stand before having to use my sword as a support.
Looking towards where Julius was, I see a figure behind the dust. Once the dust clears, Julius is revealed, his eyes red and looking completely furious.
"You… For you to fight like this, you have no shame whatsoever."
"Shame? For what? I told you before, I won't uphold some damn code." Even now I can barely stand, my legs feel like they've been bruised to hell and back, and my arm's condition isn't helping.
"You can barely even stand anymore, it seems you've reached your limit. Do you now see the clear difference between you and the Knights you made light of?"
"...Yeah, I see it alright… You, unconscious at my feet, that is." In theory this should work… Please work.
"You truly are a fool."
"I guess I am, Wind Blade!" Surrounding my sword with the Wind affinity, what could go wrong?
Slashing downward the built up Wind mana goes shooting straight at Julius. Whether it hit or not? I have no clue, I'm currently on my way to the ground for a nice nap.
????
I awake and open my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling. "Where am I? How did I g-Oww!" A pulsing headache stops me from fully getting up.
"You're finally awake, my knight. And to answer your question, we're in my Mansion. " A familiar prideful voice sounds out to my right.
"Priscilla? …What are you doing?" Why is she in bed with me?
"What do you think I am doing?" I don't know, that's why I asked. "I was sleeping of course. Fufufu.. What did you think I was doing?" It's honestly strange how different she's acting from normal, it's almost like she's a completely different person.
"In the same bed as me?" I won't even try and act all flustered, I'm tired of acting like someone I'm not.
"Well of course, where else would I sleep? This is my bed after all."
"I see, thank you for taking care of me Priscilla, but I've got to go."
"To that half-devil I presume?" Her teasing tone replaced by an annoyed tone.
"Half-elf, and yes."
"You are my knight, not hers! I order you to stay with me!" Why'd she suddenly get so possessive?!
"I've told you before Priscilla, I can't be your knight."
"Why?! Is it because you wish to be her knight?" She's kind of cute when she gets all bratty… I'm getting distracted.
"That's not it, at all. It's just.." Should I really tell her? I mean once I finish Arc 4, I'm off to another world but I can't just tell her that.
"What is it? Do you not like me, is that it?" Wow, that sounded really insecure. Is this the effect of Subaru/Al never being here?
"No! It's just.." …Screw it. "It's just that I'll be gone in a week or two."
"Gone? You're going to die?" Her voice sounding sad. 'I should've phrased that better.'
"No, no! I'll just not be 'here' anymore."
"Here?"
"How do I say this… Alright, what I say may sound a bit 'out there' but you'll just have to believe me. I'm not from this world, I come from somewhere beyond the great waterfall. I was sent here on a mission and in two weeks or so, I'll be in another world." Wow…Now that I hear myself say that, I sound like some nutjob. "Pretty unbelievable, right?"
"I believe you."
"Huh?"
"I believe you."
"Really? I thought you'd call me crazy… I swear I'm not crazy. It's just, why do you believe me?"
"It's because I trust you. You're my knight, and as your Master, I shall always believe you."
"I-I…Thank you." I feel tears start to fall from my eyes.
'Why am I crying? Damn it, I probably look so stupid right now. Stop crying, Damn it.' All of my pent up emotions finally flowing out.
Priscilla wordlessly pulls me into a hug, amplifying my emotions. Having lost how long I cried for, I pull away from the hug.
"Thank you Priscilla."
"Anything for you, my knight." I know she doesn't mean it like that but I can't help but feel like she said it lovingly. Such thoughts cause a blush to appear on my face.
"Fufufufu… For you to make such a cute expression. Just what are you thinking about?" Her teasing tone appearing once again.
"Ahem, By the way, I haven't explained everything yet."
"Oh? Then go ahead." Her tone more serious than before.
"Right. In around five days Duchess Crusch Karsten will go on a hunt for the White Whale. If she succeeds she will be attacked by The Archbishop of Greed and one of the Archbishop of Gluttony on return. While that's happening, Emilia will be attacked by the Archbishop of Sloth."
"I don't see how this matters to me." Despite her affection towards me, she doesn't care about others.
"That's because it doesn't, I just thought I should tell you. If you trust me, the least I can do is be honest."
"How thoughtful of you." She says this while petting me, why does every candidate I meet treat me like a puppy?
"I'll also be joining them, It's for the best that they survive."
"Oh? Do you believe you will be able to pull it off with your damaged gate?"
'Damaged? …I just had to go and get it damaged.' "I'll manage somehow, and one last thing. I know this is really straightforward and inconsiderate, but will you join me on my travels?" What am I thinking? Of course she'll say no.
"..." I knew it.
"I'm sorry, you probably have things you need to do. You probably don't have the time to waste on me…"
"Of course I'll go with you, I've said it before. Wherever I go, you go and wherever you go, I go." Man, I might just start crying again. "But I must first prepare for my departure. During that time, I expect you to grow stronger. No knight of mine shall stay weak."
"Yes Ma'am!" A flick to the forehead this time. "Yes Priscilla."
"Much better. Now, before you leave a good luck charm." She starts to get closer, once close enough she kisses me on the forehead in the same spot she flicked. "Now go and be my knight."
Capital
'Honestly…Just what is she thinking? To do something like that. How embarrassing! I must not be corrupted, I must stay strong. ..At least now I have someone who'll join me on my journey.'
Now I'm lost… I was trying to make my way back to Emilia, but this city is a god damned maze.
"What to do? I could fly… Nah, draws too much attention and my gate will probably not be too happy."
Instead of moving somewhere else and getting more lost, I decided to just sit down and take a seat at a Cafe. "House blend, please." I ask one of the waiters.
"Yes sir knight." Either my title as Priscilla's Knight has spread or I must really look like one.
"Didn't expect to see yah 'round here." I knew I had to meet her, just not this soon.
"Anastasia Hoshin and a small child I don't know. What can I do for you?"
"That's Mimi, don't worry about her. Now, all I want is to ask a couple questions."
"Questions? Here I thought you'd be mad at me for dueling your knight."
"I was for a while when I saw how badly you injured him, but I let it go after a while."
"I don't think I injured him all that bad, I may have hurt his pride but I only hit him a few times with my sword."
She goes on to laugh about something. What it is, I haven't a clue.
She then starts practically interrogating me, I give vague answers for anything too personal. I understand giving her too much information might be bad, but I honestly couldn't care. Information warfare isn't really my forte.
"Would you like anything else sir knight?" The same waiter from before comes back.
The house blend was really good. "More of your house blend please. Do you two want anything? My treat." I ask my two companions.
"Ooh, I want what you're having." The little hyperactive Mimi says.
"You sure kiddo? It's coffee."
"Eww! Coffee is yucky!" She says making an over exaggerated disgusted face.
"Hehehe…She'll have a cup of milk and I'll have the same as him." Anastasia answers for her.
"Quite the handful isn't she? Hard to believe she's the second in command for your Iron Fang."
"Oh? So you know about that?"
"I'm not stupid Anastasia, I know you wanted information."
"And you still gave it away?"
"Because I don't actually care about what you do with said information… Actually, how about a trade?"
"A trade you say?"
"Yes, a trade. In exchange for your help, I'll return the favor with something of equal value."
"What is it exactly you want from me?"
Mather's Capital Estate
Knock, knock.* 'Did they already leave? Without even saying a word to me?'
I go to knock again, however I'm interrupted by the door suddenly opening, revealing a puffy-eyed Rem.
"Whoa Rem, What happened to you?" Instead of answering me, she just runs towards me and envelops me in a hug. The force nearly knocking me down.
"Rem? What's wrong?"
"Rem is sorry." Talk about deja vu. "Please don't leave!" Her crying face looks up to me.
"Rem I'm not going anywhere, I can't just leave you guys like that. I care about all of you too much to leave, don't tell that to Ram though."
"Really?" Her crying finally coming to a halt.
"Yes really, what even gave you the idea, I was leaving?"
"Lord Roswaal said you were Priscilla's knight, and when you suddenly disappeared and didn't come back. I assumed you were leaving with her." Goddammit Roswaal, always causing me trouble, good for nothing clown.
"Well he's not wrong, I am Priscilla's knight. Not really out of choice though, but I'm still a butler first and foremost. So don't go writing me off, alright?" I say this while clearing the remaining tears off her face.
"Alright." A happy smile replacing her previous sad frown.
"Now where is Lord Roswaal and Lady Emilia?"
"Lord Roswaal and Miss Emilia have already returned home. I stayed here to clean before leaving tomorrow."
"I see…" Roswaal probably planned for this to happen. Didn't he? "How about instead of cleaning, I take you out to eat somewhere? To make up for last time, my treat."
"Yes! …I mean, Rem would love to go."
~Break~
Bedroom
After the date with Rem, we returned back here to the Mather's Capital Estate. I'm lying on my bed, completely exhausted from being dragged around the capital the whole day.
'What the hell am I supposed to do? I couldn't possibly try and negotiate with Crusch, if I can't even attract the damn Whale. So many things that are already going to shit…' Without a solution, all hope seems to be lost.
"I do believe I have a solution for that problem." The voice of my boss suddenly rings out in my mind.
'Lide!?'
"Good Evening Field Operator, You seem to be doing well. As I said before, I believe I have a solution to your problem."
'What is it?'
"Return by Death."
'...Return by Death? Shouldn't Subaru have it?'
"The second that boy was removed from this universe, all recollection of him went too. Instead of him being summoned here, it was you."
"What?! And you never bothered telling me?" Sitting up out of shock.
"It never came up." Talk about sketchy. "Now as I was saying, instead of Subaru 'Flugel' Natsuki, The Great Sage is now known as The Sage. He never revealed his name, because he never had one to begin with. He was an alternate version of you, who basically did everything Flugel did. Now here you are, The Sage reincarnated. Due to that, you now hold Return by Death, albeit sealed away by yours truly. If you'd like I can unseal it, although I'll never be able to seal it away ever again."
'Damn it! You don't spring these types of decisions on someone like that! What to do? What to do? What to d-'
"You still have roughly five days until the Whale subjugation. Think about it, Good night Field Operator." And just like that he's gone.
"Haah… Honestly, this is getting too troublesome. I have no right to complain though, I did agree to this."
*Slam!* I look towards the door, where I see a black pajama wearing Rem holding her Morningstar. "Ren is everything alright?! I heard a yell!" Her face showing a worried expression.
After recovering from my shock of her sudden entry, I respond with. "I-I'm fine, just dropped something is all."
She releases a relieved sigh. "I see… I'm glad you're safe." I can see that.
"So black huh? Looks good on you." I say trying to make her forget about what just happened and to genuinely compliment her fashion style.
Her face turns red, once she processes what I said. "I-I…" Whether she's embarrassed about her state of dress or the compliment, who knows?
"I'm just teasin', …Mostly." My statement made most of her blush go away, leaving only a small red hue if you looked hard enough. "C'mere, Let's talk for a bit." I motion her to sit next to me on my bed.
"How've you been? We haven't really had a chance to talk like this since the attack on the village."
"I'm fine, I enjoy talking with you like this."
"Really? Me too. And for what it's worth, you're my favorite maid. Don't tell that to Ram though, she'll probably kill me." This elicits a giggle out of her. 'Cute'
"R-Right. Listen Rem, If I were to suddenly gain a power that you probably wouldn't like, would you still support me?"
"Rem doesn't quite understand what you're asking her, but she'll support you regardless!"
"Let me rephrase it then… If I were to start smelling in a way you probably wouldn't like, would you start to hate me?"
"I would never hate you, even if you stopped bathing!" This girl…
"Even if the Witch's Miasma were to start radiating off me, would you still say the same?"
"Of course! Even then I would still be by your side!"
"Rem?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you." I start to pet her head. "Now! I should probably explain as to why I asked that. Listen closely now Rem, In five days…" I explain everything to Rem. (A/N: Was going to write Ren explaining it, buuut you guys are probably tired of reading the same stuff over and over. Also he only told her about the Whale and Sloth, nothing else)
"Sorry if it seems a bit unbelievable, but you gotta trust me on this." How many times have I said this?
"I believe you." Rem you truly are my number one supporter.
4 Days Later, Karsten Estate
The room is currently filled with the Crusch camp, Anastasia, Rem and I. "The terms are quite acceptable, 15% of the rights to mine the ores in Elior Forest is quite a lot. But before I agree, I must ask. How did you acquire the information of our planned subjugation of the Whale?"
"All of the weapons, the men that have been going in and out of here, the carriages to carry said weapons and men. Now, normally that wouldn't automatically mean you're after the Whale, but considering the Sword Demon is your butler. I couldn't help but assume your target is the Whale."
"I see, It would make sense to make that assumption. Very well, I agree to your deal."
"Same here, I don't gotta issue with this deal."
"Well then it's settled. Now before we begin talking about strategy, let me just say that I have a couple bits of information on the Whale."
"Go ahead, I've no issues with it."
"Right, as you all know the White Whale has the ability to erase people from existence, but it also has a fog that if breathed in, will make you start hallucinating and you might go insane if in it for too long. It's fairly easy to counter. All you need is a little bit of Wind magic to clear it."
"There's also its ability to clone itself, I don't know how many clones it can make but what I do know is, it'll only activate this ability when it is severely injured."
"You don't seem to be lying, but I'd like to know how you know this information." Shit, she's the only person who can see straight through any lie I can spout out.
"I uh.. saw it? It's been a while since I last saw it though." I'm pretty sure the anime aired sometime in 2016, so it has been a while.
"Truly? Were you fighting it?"
"Uh no, I was a spectator at most. A guy named Subaru fought it, the guy was lucky he didn't get erased from existence." All of this is true so she should probably stop questioning everything.
"But to survive an encounter is still something, where is he now?"
"That I don't know, he might not even be alive for all I know."
"That is unfortunate, we could've used a man like him. To be able to injure one of the Great Mabeasts to that extent, he must've been a force to be reckoned with." You don't even know the half of it.
"You're right, the guy didn't know when to give up. No point in mulling over it now, back to the strategy. There's one last thing I chose not to mention."
"I have the ability to attract the White Whale."
Night, Karsten Estate Guest Bedroom
"Haah… What am I supposed to do? I can't just outright ask her, I'll ask her once everything settles down." I sit at the desk that came with the room that Crusch gave me. Contemplating on what to do exactly after all this.
"Lide, you there? I've decided."
"Ah, Good Evening Field Operator."
"Yeah, hey. I want you to unseal Return by Death."
"So that's your decision? Know that this can not be undone."
"I'm fine with that. I understand that my decision comes with consequences, whether they're good or bad, we'll just have to see."
"Hahaha! You continue to surprise me. Well then, I shall unseal it. The unsealing will be painless, do not worry. Good luck Field Operator."
"Is that it? I don't feel all that different, just a bit thirsty." I should probably get something to drink.
I exit the guest room, on a journey to find a glass of water. Most of the rooms I pass by are either empty guest rooms or storage closets filled with cleaning supplies. After a while of just walking, I finally find what looks like a kitchen and hear a noise inside.
A bit spooked, I do the reasonable thing and take a look inside. Everything about the kitchen seems normal, Pots, Pans, Mana powered stove, the back of someone's head, Cooking ingredients.
'Hold on.. the back of someone's head?!' Instead of screaming out of fright, I choose to hide before they spot me. Well… I attempted at the very least.
"Ren Fujimura, is that you?" A familiar serious voice rings out from the figure's direction.
"Miss Karsten, You caught me. Apologies but I got thirsty." Standing up straight, I look back towards her direction. There I see her in a black dress, holding what seems to be a bottle.
"It's fine, I understand." Her serious face forming into an understanding smile. "Would you care to join me for a drink?"
"Sorry, but I don't drink." I've never drunk before, and I don't intend to start today.
"Ah.. Don't worry, it's non-alcoholic." Oh. Now I feel like an idiot.
"Uh sure then, I'll join you for a glass or two."
~Break~
We are currently sitting at a table outside on a patio. Talking and drinking all the while. "..Truly? And on your first day here in the capital, no less. To have an encounter with the Bowel Hunter and live, you must be quite strong." Yes but actually no, at the time the only reason I survived was because of Reinhard and my contracted spirits. "When did you say this happened?"
"Around six weeks ago, I think."
"I see, then allow me to apologize. I was in the Capital around that time, so I could have helped." She bows her head a little.
"Hey don't worry about it, we didn't even know each other at the time. I came out of there alive anyways, so there's nothing to be worried about." I reassure her. "It would have been fine if that were the only time I went up against her. Turns out she holds a grudge, around a week later she attacks the village near Roswaal's Mansion. And let me tell you, she was practically only going for me."
"To survive not one, but two encounters with the Bowel Hunter? You have my praise for such a feat." I don't know about surviving through those encounters, but thanks. "There's also the fact you were able to cut Julius' arm off. You truly are a man of many feats."
"..Huh? What're you talking about? I'm pretty sure I only hit him with my sword a bit." There's no way I could've done that. Right?
"That's not what I heard, from what Felix told me, you cut off his arm with your final attack. He also said your sword completely shattered, leaving pieces of wood in your arm. Thankfully he was able to remove them all, and that's not even accounting for all the broken bones you had."
"Can we not talk about how I was close to death? Please?" Something about it makes me uncomfortable.
"Ah yes, my apologies for bringing it up."
"No it's fine, I just… I don't want to talk about it." An awkward silence follows right after.
"..."
"..."
"One thing that surprised me the most, is how you're behaving completely different than how you did in the Royal Selection room. How is that?" Out of all the questions to break the ice, she chooses that one.
"I uh… I have a split personality?" Wow, good one.
"Please be serious."
"The thing is you know how Lady Emilia is a half elf right?" I get a nod. "That instantly made her public enemy number one. So in response to that, I chose to make myself the villain. If everyone thinks I'm a horrible person, they're going to ignore Lady Emilia and make me their number one priority. I now know how stupid that plan was, but I still believe I helped even if it was just a little."
"Are you perhaps trying to court Lady Emilia?"
"No, we're just friends. Even if we weren't, I think I still would have helped her. I believe if you have the chance to help someone, you should do it." I yawn at the end of my sentence.
"Oh? My apologies, you must be tired. Go ahead and get some sleep, we have a big day tomorrow."
"Right, good night Miss Karsten."
"Crusch is just fine, and good night Ren Fujimura."
"Then call me Ren. There's no need to call me by my full name."
Hallway
"I didn't even notice how much time had passed. I didn't even end up getting a glass of water." I continue walking down the hall, in hopes of finding my room. 'I just don't want to get lost.'
"Ah! There it is." Right outside my room I hear sounds of chains inside. Alarmed, I reinforce myself and head in, ready for anything. "..where is he? You witch cultist!"
Inside the room, I see Rem standing over a prone black figure, holding her Morningstar. "Rem! What's wrong?"
"Ah Ren! You're fine!" She turns around, a relieved expression on her face. But when she gets too close, her face scrunches up in disgust. "You smell horrible."
"I love you too." I say sarcastically but judging by her face, she probably didn't notice. "Who's the guy on the ground?"
"A witch cultist, I found him in your room." A what!?
"Rem? He's unconscious right?"
"Did he already pass out? I was only getting started." This girl is scary when she wants to be.
"Make sure he doesn't wake up, I'm going to get Crusch." And with that I'm out of the room. Whether Rem responded or not, I don't know. I run towards where I split up with Crusch.
Finding her room was a lot easier than finding the kitchen. *Knock!Knock!* 'I'm sorry Crusch for knocking so loud but you gotta open up.' *Knock!-*
The door finally opens, and out comes an annoyed looking Crusch dressed in pajamas. "Yes? What is it? Oh? Ren how can I-"
"No time for that Crusch! There's a witch cultist in my room!"
"What!?" That was my reaction too. "Are they attacking?" Thankfully no.
"It doesn't look like it. Rem knocked them out and tied them up, while I came here."
"I'll send Felix to get some knights."
Bedroom
'Why the hell would a cultist be here? If it was just him, then he was probably a stray cultist. Going off of Rem's earlier comment, he probably smelled the Witch's Miasma on me. Or were they led here through the gospel? Too many questions, and too little time to find answers.' I'm snapped out of my thoughts by the door to my room opening.
"Ah Crusch. Did something happen?"
"Thankfully no, the Knights that Felix brought have already left in hopes of getting some answers out of Witch Cultist."
"Is there something you need?"
"I was going to ask if you know why they were here. They did appear in your room according to the Maid." If I didn't know better, I'd think she's accusing me.
"I'm pretty sure I know why."
"You do? Can you tell me?" Why do you seem so surprised? You wanted an answer, didn't you?
"I can, but allow me to finish speaking before you make an assumption."
"Of course, I'll hear you out." Her understanding tone won't last for long.
Satellite please don't crush my heart. "I emit the Witch's Miasma-"
"You what!?" Her tone shocked, and rightfully so.
"Please let me finish. I emit the Miasma, but I am not a Cultist. It is also the method of how I will bait out the Whale."
Her shock slowly turns into exasperation. "*Sigh* Why must things always be complicated? Fine, I believe you, just go to sleep." I know, right? Things in this world are always going to spiral out of control.
"Good night Crusch." I say, waving goodbye.
"Yes, Good night Ren." I catch a small smile forming on her face as she closes the door.
'Alright time for bed.' *Knock, Knock* 'Or not.'
"Come in." I speak loud enough so whoever is on the other side can hear me. The door opens, revealing the blue oni maid. "Rem? Is something the matter?"
"Do you mind if we talk for a little?"
"Of course not. C'mere and sit with me." She sits with me on the bed. "So? What's wrong? Nervous?"
"A little, aren't you?" I get the feeling that's not why she's here.
"Not at all."
"Shouldn't you be?"
"Well maybe…but when you have the greatest of all maids supporting you, you feel like you're on top of the world." What can I say? I'm quite the shameless flirt.
Her flushed face being the only answer I get, I pull her into a side hug and we both look out the window. At least I was, who knows where she's looking. "You had something to say didn't you? Go on ahead, I'll try not to interrupt you."
"I understand how you feel about Emilia." Huh? What!? "But I'll still say it. I.. I love you Ren. Ever since that day in your room, I've loved you."
"Rem, I'm sorry for interrupting but let me correct you on one thing. I am not in love with Emilia." Why does everyone think I do? I don't think I've ever shown signs of love, loyalty and admiration yes but never love. "And uh…About your confession, I'm sorry but I can't give you an answer right now."
"I see." Her voice almost sounding heartbroken.
"I'll give you a reply once this is all over. By then I'll have sorted through all my feelings. Can you wait for me?" How selfish of me.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Her voice sounding more hopeful now.
~Break~
Having finally laid on my bed after escorting Rem back to her room, I toss and turn in hopes of falling asleep.
'I can't sleep…Damn it.'
"..."
"..."
Creak.* The sound of the door surprises me so much I end up acting like I'm asleep. 'What the hell am I doing? I'm acting like a little kid when their mom walks in on them staying up late.' I start to hear soft breathing on my right side, hearing it grow closer and closer.
Whoever it is finally backs up a bit, having stopped hearing the breathing. I assume they're leaving until I hear the sounds of chains ringing out. 'That doesn't sound good.' Having almost opened my eyes, until the other person climbs in bed with me. They use me as a hug pillow as their breathing starts to slow down.
Once I build up the courage to open my eyes, I look down and see a very familiar head of blue. "Good grief, damn near killed me out of fright."
Sighing, I lay there being used as a pillow. I finally start to get tired, I even end up hugging her as well. After a little while, I fall asleep holding a very beautiful girl in my arms.
To Be Continued
Hey guys hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
Now I know what you all may be thinking. "Wtf that's not like Priscilla at all! Talk about ooc." You'd be one hundred percent right.
My take on this Priscilla is that she's still very prideful no doubt about that, buuuut she's also very lonely. So under that Pride is a lonely girl who desires attention from her Knight. Other than that, everything about her is the same.
Now about Rem…Yeah, no she's totally going to die. I Fucking hate Rem. Is what's not going to happen. Rem is going to be Ren's girl for sure.
This is probably going to end up being harem, and also it's probably going to end up pretty big. I mean the guy is going to go out collecting team members like pokemon cards.
Also Arc 3 will probably end in around 3-4 more chapters, no more than that. Unless all my next chapters end up being 2k words which is not going to happen.
Another thing you might be wondering is who else Ren will bring along on his journey across worlds. One thing I can say is who he won't bring along.
-Emilia
-Reinhard
-Any of the other candidates other than Priscilla
-Ram
-Garfiel or Otto
-Any of the Knights
Other than those listed, are all available to go with him, You guys might be thinking Priscilla? Shouldn't she be worried about the selection? And to that I say [SPOILERS] "You fools! Priscilla was already destined to be the emperor of Vollachia. She's already been trained to rule a nation."
That should be all, the last thing I'll do is list the spells Ren can cast.
