Chapter 9: The Descender and the Well Embowed Woman
That night, Renee has a dream...
In her dream, we see Renee talking to some girls who are like her alternated form.
"Please! Fight with us, Renee!" A blue haired girl who wear a blue tutu like outfit with bird wings on her back with blue gloves begged.
Renee snapped at her "No! I don't want to work with losers like you!"
A girl with pink hair with cat ears and a tail wearing a pink frilly tutu like outfit with pink gloves looked down in sadness as Renee walked away coldly.
'What is this... I feel like I knew those four girls... They are like me... And the way I have treated them when we first met, did I upset them somehow? Did I regret it later?' Renee's voice asked. The dream ended.
Renee opened her eyes slowly, the sun was getting in her eyes, she could see a blurry figure looking at top of her, she couldn't make out who the person is. But as her vision cleared, it was Neptune looking at her with a curious look.
Renee blinked for 2 seconds till she shouted "What are you doing in my room?!" She pushed Neptune off of her, making her fall to the floor.
"Owies!" Neptune moaned sitting on her ass and rubbing her head before looking at Renee who was quite mad about her personal space being invaded.
"Well, I got bored in the room me and Noire were sleeping in, so I decided to sleep in here on one of your room's chairs." Neptune closed her eyes and smiled nervously.
"And you came in here without permission?" Renee frowned at this girl's stupidity.
"Um, yeah. Something like that." Neptune rubbed the back of her head nervously.
"Neptune... Give me one good reason why I shouldn't hurt you..." Renee growled dangerously.
Neptune was thinking of a excuse till she sniffled something. It smells like...
"Pancakes! Pancakes are being made!" Nep bellowed exictedly as she ran out of Renee's room in a flash.
"Wait! ...Great. Now my mood is even worse than before..." Renee slap her head and moaned. She regain her comporsuer and looked at the window in thought.
'What was that dream I had? Is it... a vision of my past? I seen girls who have different animal parts like me and the outfits that looked like mine... I feel like I know them, but where.' the wolf girl shook her head to clear her thoughts. It was then, Noire came in.
"Renee, I heard screaming and... Let me guess, Neptune was in here?" The tsundere asked with a bored and annoyed expession.
Renee sighed and replied with "Yep. She barged in without permission and me knowing it last night. When I was abou tto scold her, she smell pancakes and she exited quickly."
Noire placed her hands on her face and moaned "That girl is more troublesome than I remembered, but she's my friend and I had to deal with it. You should too." The tsudnere smiled softly.
"I hope so..." Renee sighed.
At the room's dining room...
"Morning everybody!" Neptune sang as she took a seat beside Alice who was happy to see her.
The waiter placed the food at the tables some of the party members were sitting at and they gladly ate their breakfast.
Renee hasn't eaten her food and Ellis noticed that.
"Renee, what's wrong? You haven't touch your food... You better hurry before miss Neptune or mister Prinny gobble it up." The elven girl asked in concern.
"Oh." Renee snapped back to reality and smiled at Ellis and stated "Sorry to worry you... I don't care if Neptune or Prinny eat it, I'm full anyway. I'm gonna go get some fresh air." Renee stood up from her seat and exited the inn.
Leo and Takashi after finishing their plates looked at each other in concern and decided to follow Renee to see what's up.
It was then, Zerva asked Fyuria and Ellis a question. "Who are these strangely dressed people who Golden Leo is aqainited with? I don't trust them." The syruim frowned.
"According to miss Dyshana, they're from other worlds. Also, I don't think you shouldn't say you don't trust them in front of them." Ellis advised.
Zerva blinked and turned around, indeed, he was getting glares from Rei, Saya and Saeko.
"What? You don't trust us already, Zerva? I'm hurt..." Kohta pretended to weep.
"I still don't trust some of you, but what I said was wrong. For now, I apologize." Zerva turned away from the glares and resumed eating his breakfast.
"Z-Zerva!" Fyuria scolded her brother.
"Ah, don't worry about it, FuFu. I'm sure Zervy will trust us once we get to know each other better." Neptune grinned as she walked up to Zerva and slapped him in the back, making him spit out his food and glaring at the purple haired girl angrily.
With Renee...
Renee was in a forest, thinking. She likes this forest in this world... It helps her clear her thoughts.
Renee took a deep breath and listen to the waterfall falling down in the water.
"Renee!" Leo and Takashi ran up to her.
"Ellis said there was something wrong with you. Is anything alright?" Takashi asked her.
"..." Renee looked away. "...I had a piece of my past returned to me." She muttered.
"So, Dyshana was speaking the truth... Your memories are returning bit by bit." Leo smiled.
"But it wasn't a good one..." Renee stated dryly. "I was rude to four girls who asked me to help them with something and I called them losers... I kept thinking to myself will they hate me and I will pay the price for being a jerk to them?" Renee looked at the ground sadly.
"Renee..." Leo walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Even if you think you were rude to those four girls, they must have a reason for asking for your help. When you find a way back to your world after we restored peace to this world, you should apologize to those four." He smiled softly.
Renee was silent for a moment till she giggled. "Yeah, you're right about that..." Renee turned to Leo, looking directly into his eyes.
"...You're really nice, you know that?" The wolf girl told him.
"M-Me? Nice?" Leo blushed and blinked in surprise. "I'm not that nice, am I?" He muttered shyly.
"Well, you're nice to every girl in our strange little party." Takashi let out a mischievous grin. "That proves that they liked you, even Fyuria.
"S-Stop it." Leo rubbed the back of his head nervously while nervously smiling.
"Leo..." The wolf girl said tot he swordsman.
"Yes?" Leo responded in concern.
"...I want to find out why Summeril took away my memories and dragged me into this world with the otherworlders and why he caused so much suffering in worlds and alternate Earths. If you fulfill whatever Dyshana wants you to do, will your children help me recover my memories and such?" Renee turned to the swordsman with a smile.
"My children and I will do whatever it takes to help you and our otherworldly friends. You have my promise." Leo closed his eyes and smiled. Renee smiled back.
It was then, a woman walked up to the three.
She was very curvy (and busty), She has long curled light blond hair with long bangs neatly framing her face. She has sad blue looking eyes, usually not fully open. She wore an emerald green dress with gold markings. Big/loose light green and white gloves and along the top part of her skirt is a big peach/orange bow. Around her neck she wears a big piece of white collar with green lining around the bottom and a very thin white cloth connecting the dress and neck piece together. At the center is a gold circular piece with a small blue gem in the center and tiny red ribbon with gold in the center.
"Hmm..." The woman stated as she looked at Renee.
"Can we... help you with something, miss?" Takashi asked, doing his best to not look at the breasts this woman has so his female friends won't call him a pervert and such.
"You there... You have an unique bracelet that won't come off no matter how hard you tried?" The woman was probably referring to Renee.
"Er, yes. Why?" Eyebrow raised, Renee asked this woman this strange question.
The woman closed her eyes and smiled and said "Then we're amnesia sisters! Oh, I knew by finding Kanonno with the different but same bracelet that you're wearing and our lost memories, then we must be related."
Leo's eyes turned white dotted while a huge sweat drop appeared behind his head while Renee's lip twitched in anger.
"I'm not your sister!" She snapped at the woman.
"Oh, where are my manners? My name is Vert. For some reason, I like things like video games, anime and manga and I see you're with two cute boys." Vert smiled again.
"Um, actually I'm 25 years old, so that would make me an adult." The swordsman corrected the yellow haired woman.
Just then, another girl ran up to the four panting heavily.
She looks about 17 years old, has pink hair, wore a black headband with what looks like a black flower bud, wore a yellow and white dress and black boots.
"Pant, pant, pant... Miss Vert, why did you leave me when you overheard that conversation?" The pink haired girl sighed in exhaustion as she fell flat on her butt.
"Oh Kanonno, I found someone who is like us, has amnesia like the both of us and has a bracelet like the one you're wearing." Vert told her.
The one called Kanonno looked at Renee and sweat dropped by saying "I don't think she's related to us, I told you I wasn't related to you when we first met after having no recollection of our pasts."
Renee looked at Kanonno's right hand and it has a dark pink bracelet similar to the one she, Kirito, and Ed has.
"Are you like me, woke up in this world with no memories and has a trinket stuck to yourself?" Renee asked her.
"Huh? You too? Well, my name is Kanonno Pasca, I think. Nice to meet you!" Kanonno smiled.
"Same here." Renee returned the smile with her own. It was then, Neptune and Noire came up.
"Hey Renny, we heard you were feeling down or something, so we came here to cheer you up and..." Neptune stopped talking as soon as she and Noire saw Vert who couldn't help staring at them.
They once again have the sparks in their subconscious trying to jump start their memories, only with Vert added to the mix. Vert's subconscious was hit by a lightning bolt as she now recognize those two girls. She was closed to them like family and friends.
"My goodness! Neptune! Noire?! Is that you?!" Vert covered her mouth in shock.
"Noire! It's Vert! I recognized those huge knockers everywhere, I think." Neptune gasped happily.
"Y-Y-Yeah. I hate it when hers are bigger than ours..." Noire frowned as she abruptly looked away.
"Well, this is a nice turn of events..." Takashi muttered. Leo and Renee nodded in agreement.
