Author's Starting Commentary: So... we're here. A literal Kuroinu X Rance fanfiction. I don't know much about the former other than information received from various fanfiction and the official H-animation, but I have enough for the latter.

Let's just say... Rance, will be Rance. Taking away his greatest qualities will be simple to say as removing something important from a machine. Yes, Sill is with him too because without her he would actually feel incomplete.

By the way, he's of the non-canon Kichikuou Rance timeline. And he's obviously overpowered.

Hm... now let us start his great adventure!

[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]

... horrible....

Her vision was... horrible.

Armies of demons razed the fortress cities, pillaging towns, raping women all around. She couldn't even interact, but only left helpless watching her people die or be violated in such an inhumane and horrible manner.

Houses were burning, and more have already fell down into rubble.

The most strangest thing she'd ever seen was that, humans also joined demons. It's as if they had rebelled against her.

Why? Why would they do that?

She, the Goddess Reborn, Celestine Lucross, could only watch hopelessly.

This vision of hers lasted for a long while, until light came from behind her. Suddenly, the fire that was touched by the light immediately extinguished, and it felt very warm...

The moment she turned around, she noticed an altar that was several meters away from her. It seems like the said light came from the altar.

Celestine finally remembered it as the altar that is used to summon people in times of need after a long while, though she regretted forgetting something very important.

After that... she had woken up in her bed, drenched in her own sweat. Her skimpy clothing covering some parts of her body while a long part of her clothing was pushed aside to reveal her pubeless honeypot.

"Lady Celestine! What happened to you?" Her bodyguard, Claudia Levantine, asked. She was very worried about the Goddess Reborn.

Her bodyguard was wearing an armor... or a disappointing lack thereof that only protected her shoulders, arms, legs and some parts of her head. It covered her nipples though. Other than that, she wears a string panty that would not give any sort of protection other than cover her honeypot.

"I received a vision." The Goddess Reborn gently spoke, closing her eyes to focus and recollect herself.

"Another vision?"

Claudia knew that Celestine's visions are important for the future of Eostia, so she listened carefully.

"The Seven Shields will fall soon enough." The way she spoke it made Claudia think she was becoming hopeless, gulping in fear she moved closer to the Celestine. "But..."

A small, hopeful smile spread from her face.

"... We have only one hope."

Without hesitation, Celestine got out from her bed and began to exit the room, with Claudia following her closely.

Where were they going?

To Celestine, she knew sending messengers to the other fortresses would do no good, maybe the attack from the demons would happen way sooner.

Her powers were waning, too. Therefore, she has to hurry while remembering where the summoning altar was.

Several minutes of walking through a secret pathway, she had arrived at the same altar the vision had given her.

Through all this, Claudia stayed silent and vigilant, her greatsword unsheathed and ready to fight whoever is going to attack them.

The room they were now in was dark, yet light came off from holes nearby. With one swipe of her hand, Celestine lit up the torches that were stationed on the sides.

"Claudia, sheathe your sword. There is nothing for your to be vigilant in this sanctuary."

"..."

With one order, Claudia sheathed her sword, yet kept vigilant.

The altar had seven massive pillars surrounding one circle with mysterious engravings. It seems like it wasn't active.

Yet.

Celestine approached the altar, and the moment she stepped on the magic circle, it began to light up.

Just like how it used to be.

Closing her eyes and lifting her arms, she began to try and summon somebody, somebody who can save Eostia.

That somebody being the hero she would expect. Someone strong, wise, kind, and as free as the wind.

The circle began to shine brightly, as the magical engravings on it, along with those on the other pillars that had recently appeared.

Her mana was being drained out of her body, so much of it was being forced out of her, so much,that she might be totally drained out.

A sign she knew she was becoming weaker the more days pass by.

Suddenly a bright pillar of light burst out from the center of the circle.

However...

... you know the rules and so do I.

The one she summons is not whom she would totally expect!

Once the pillar vanished, two people appeared from it, seemingly dumbfounded.

"Sill! Where are we?! Have we been whisked away by that shitty god again?!"

Although she was done summoning, Celestine could not help but weakly drop down to the ground on her knees.

She's done it!

... But at what cost?
