AN: Not really much to say here. Have fun readin'!
"What."
"What."
In front of me was a strange sight. Eris was sleeping on a bean bag, cuddling a teddy bear that was dressed as a thief to pieces. She was snoring and was wearing casual pajamas from Japan. This wasn't so weird.
The weird part was the amount of empty bottles of alcohol behind her. Directly behind the bottles was a tower. A tower of empty popcorn tubs.
I took a closer look at Eris and sure enough she reeked of alcohol and had some bits of popcorn on her face.
This is really ruining my perception of her.
[This is ruining my perception of her.]
Ah, there's also that.
Turns out Eris has been spying on me.
The TV is displaying… Well, me. The TV would capture every moment of my life. Anything I say and more importantly, everything I would think of. My thoughts would play out from the screen.
What's up with Goddesses and invading my privacy!? First Aqua and now Eris! I hate these damn alcoholics!
[What's up with Goddesses and invading my privacy!?…"]
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
I picked up the remote off the ground and muted the TV. I started scrolling through her saved videos.
400 Results.
All of the results had dates on them. Occasionally I would find one that had a little star next to it. I played it and…
This is the castle raid I did with her!
She even recorded herself!?
Eventually I navigated to a separate tab labeled "Funny Moments" and selected it. Inside I found videos labeled after me! I started scrolling through them.
Hey! These are all the times something bad happened to me!
'Bath scene Darkness'
'Kazuma gets kicked out'
'Kazuma traumatizes nobles'
'Kazuma takes down Beldia and gets hit with crippling debt, lmao'
'Kazuma takes Aqua as his cheat and immediately regrets it'
'Kazuma gets merc'd"
The list keeps going.
She's been recording me ever since I reincarnated!
I turned to the creep in question. She was still snoring and cuddling that bear. I was about use steal on her until there was nothing left. But something else caught my attention.
She did it! She actually did it!
On a nightstand near her beanbag was the photo of me in an erotic bunny outfit! She'd framed the damn thing! There was even a stuffed rabbit next to it!
Screw that!
I grabbed the frame and opened it, exposing the photo.
"Tinder." I snapped my fingers and lit a small flame from my fingertips.
"Good riddance." I lit the photo on fire. It began crackling and a couple seconds later it was nothing but a black square.
I turned my attention to the fridge and burned all the polaroid photos that were sticking to it.
And just like that, my dignity as a man has returned.
"Zzzz…- Wha- huh!? Kazuma!? What are you doing here!" Eris had woken up from the smell of burnt photos and started panicking.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" She urgently started covering herself with the blanket, her face was no different from a tomato.
Normally such a sight would've been extremely cute but with the state she's in it had zero effect on me.
I stood in front of her with my hand out in the infamous position. She quickly took notice. Eris let out a squeak before hiding under the covers.
"N-Now K-Kazuma no need to be s-so hast- eeeek!" I grabbed the covers and started pulling on them.
"Let go!" Eris pleaded.
We started having a tug-a-war with the blanket but damn was she strong!
"Tinder!"
"M-My blanket!"
The flame started eating at the blanket and soon enough the blanket had reached its limit and was torn apart.
With the blanket no longer protecting her I had her in optimal stealing condition.
"Oi Eris, you're not wearing your usual uniform. In fact you're looking pretty underdressed." I tried masking my anger. I failed horribly.
Eris started shaking and had tears dotting her eyes. She clutched onto her teddy bear for dear life.
Such a cute sight would have torn my heart to shreds but the booze reeking, disheveled, and messy Eris heavily counter acted it.
With my hand held high, I mouthed the holy words that had repelled even the Gods.
"…Steal."
A bright light engulfed the room. Once it had subsided, I felt something in my hand.
It's the stupid teddy bear!
I looked at Eris and she was now crying.
"Wah! Assistant you big bully!" She got up from the bean bag, quickly slipped on some fuzzy animal decorated slippers and reached out for the bear.
"Oi, hold it there or the bear gets it!" I activated tinder and held the stuffed bear at finger point.
Eris froze.
Now that she was out of hiding I was able to get a better look at what she was wearing. She had a purple pajama shirt with planets decorating it and matching purple pajama pants with blue stars decorating it. Her long hair was messy and her face had bits of popcorn on it.
Are all Gods the same!?
"You better start explaining yourself otherwise the bear is getting scorched!" I shook the bear to emphasize my threat.
"Okay-Okay! Just put him down please!" She pleaded.
"Start talking now!"
"Give me him first!"
"Not happening! Start talking or the bear isn't the only thing I'm going to be stealing."
"Fine!" She pouted.
"I-I framed the photo because I thought it was funny… and it was. I wasn't going to show anyone! Promise!" She sheepishly said.
"I'm not talking about the photos! I'm talking about you watching and listening to everything I do and think! What the hell's wrong with you!?"
Eris shrunk back and started twiddling her fingers. "Y-You see, I wanted to check up on you while on my vacation, t-to make sure that you d-don't get into any t-trouble..?"
"Keep going."
"I didn't tune into your thoughts! I swear! I disabled that option!" She cried out.
"I've only been watching over you for the past couple of days!" She lied.
"There I said it! So please don't use steal on me!" She covered herself with the remains of the blanket.
"…"
"…Steal!"
Instead of aiming it at Eris, I aimed it at her nightstand, where a certain item was placed.
In my hand was the polaroid camera. Eris had dropped her blanket piece out of fear and didn't have any protection.
Now's my chance!
"Wrong." I said, my voice lacking any sympathy.
"Ka-Kazuma!? What are you-"
"Say cheese~!"
"W-Wai-" Eris outstretched her arms towards me in a stopping motion.
FLASH!
The camera had taken a picture of the horrible mess of a Goddess in front of me.
"Y-Y-You…" Eris mumbled.
I threw the camera on the ground and tucked the film in my pocket. "I think I've over welcomed my stay. I'll be going now…" I turned around and gave her a peace sign with my fingers.
I feel so cool right now.
"Teleport- WUAAH-" I was hit with a forceful impact!
In Vanir's Abode(Wiz's Shop):
THUD!
"Ah, welcom- Oh?"
I was pinned to the ground by a flushed Eris! She was panting and trying to catch her breath.
"W-WHERE IS IT?!" She yelled.
She started eyeing me down urgently! She didn't even care that we were in a provocative position with her straddling me! She even had her hands pinning down mine!
"WHERE!?" She repeated.
"Under my shirt." I lied and said without the slightest hint of regret.
Eris immediately started peeling off my shirt! She didn't hesitate in the slightest!
She's tearing off my shirt!
"W-WAIT! NOT LIKE THIS! AT LEAST CLEAN YOURSELF UP FIRST!"
Eris must've snapped out of her rage induced daze as she stopped. Her face started growing redder and redder when she realized what she was just doing. Embarrassment took center stage and soon she was covering up her face.
She was still straddling me so I took advantage of the opportunity presented to me by the Gods. "Why'd you stop? Keep going please."
Eris peeked out from her fingers and turned even redder.
"Ohohoho!" Vanir laughed out, enjoying the emotional breakdown Eris is having.
"EEEK-" Eris got scared from Vanir's laugh. She fell on top of me. Her face lay resting in the crook of my neck.
BADUMP!
My heart started racing.
She's practically clinging onto me! This is something I'll only see in my (succubus) dreams…
Sure she smells horrible and looks even worse but she's still the heroine of this world! She's still the same Goddess that stuck her neck out for me.
"Ah~ The feeling of shame and embarrassment are strong with this one! It's almost as good as that-" Vanir abruptly stopped.
"*Sniff-"
"*Sniff-Sniff-"
"*Sniiiiifffff-"
-Hold on!? Is she smelling me!?
Eris raised her head to the ceiling and started sniffing the air.
*Sniff*
"…Eris?"
She ignored me and got up from the ground, albeit shakily.
"*Sniffffff" She started sniffing more intensely.
Vanir was now silent and had an expression of concern etched across his face.
"Sniff-Sniff-Sniffff!" She took one last sniff before opening her eyes and setting her sights on the ex-General turned shopkeeper.
"YOU!" She went for a pounce!
Vanir elegantly dodged backwards!
"YOU'RE THE DAMN DEVIL WHO WAS INTERCEPTING MY SIGNAL! I MISSED OUT ON SOME S-TIER CONTENT BECAUSE OF YOU!" Eris yelled out in frustration!
She just admitted it!
Vanir fixed his posture and bowed with grace. "Well, we finally meet at last, Goddess of Luck! And to see thou in such a pitiful state!" Vanir let out a taunting laugh.
Eris started clenching her fist.
"I am Vanir, an Archduke of Hell. you may know me better as one of the Generals of the Late Demon King."
Vanir raised his head and looked up at Eris. "To think we would meet in this manner. It seems I was correct about Goddesses."
Vanir let out an evil smirk. "All Gods are nothing but Deceiving Filth." Vanir started laughing wildly.
Eris was shaking now, her clenched fist was glowing. A second later it was enveloped in a yellow and violet flame! The pressure it was emitting was insane! I could even feel it from the ground. Scary!
An all out deathmatch is about to begin. Maybe I should stop them… Maybe not, I'll probably get killed.
Eris spoke up. "I may not be in my proper attire at the moment, but I'm still a Goddess! And it's my duty to massacre any devils I see!" She dashed straight at him, aiming for the mask!
Vanir stayed in place and made no attempt at escape.
Eris was closing the distance rapidly!
"GOD BLO-AHH!"
…
She tripped…
"HOHOHAH!" Vanir started wheezing hysterically.
He's even slapping his knee! Who is this guy!?
Upon closer inspection it seems that Vanir summoned a tentacle-like object made out of dirt. It had pierced through the floor and right in Eris' way and tripped her.
Eris wasn't moving at all. I went to check up on her to see if she was too embarrassed to even look me in the eye.
"…Zzzz."
She was unconscious on the ground.
I started nudging her…
"Zzzz." She wouldn't stir.
"Oi, Vanir, you went pretty heavy on the insults. We were supposed to convince her to join us. You just did the complete opposite. I think she's just mega pissed now."
Originally I was going to ask Eris to help me sneak back into the mansion to retrieve something Vanir wanted. But I completely forgot about it when I saw what she was doing in her free time. I was supposed to prove that Vanir wasn't an asshole and he was pretty cool once you've got to know him. The plan went to shit.
"Guess we're both to blame here…" I looked at the drooling Goddess below me and sighed a breath of frustration.
Vanir sighed. "Moi would be lying if I said that Moi didn't hold any grudges towards that Goddess."
"Oh right, the penguin incident…"
"Poor Zereschrute is still traumatized by his encounter with that mad dog! He constantly asks Moi if I have seen that Goddess or if it Moi has an ample supply of extra lives. That annoying blue creature of yours isn't helping either."
"My bad…"
Vanir rubbed his mask. "Moi should've known that you would be associated with that rabid Goddess as well. Rather foolish of me not to have seen it coming." Vanir sighed. "Please keep both of those things on a tight leash. Moi doesn't need any more trouble regarding Goddesses."
"Yeah… I will."
"Oh, can you store these somewhere?" I handed Vanir the teddy bear in a thief outfit and the photo. He went to the back of the store and returned a while later.
What's next?
I looked at the "Goddess" on the ground.
"What do we do with her? Should we tie her up?" I asked.
"Moi thinks that would be in our best interest if she wakes up and is still rabid." Vanir nodded.
"Good point."
"…Say Vanir?"
"Yes?"
"Do we have anything to tie her up with?"
Vanir once again sighed. "The dirt will have to do."
"I'll drain her for some mana, my reserves are pretty low again."
I knelt down and started draining some mana out of her. Vanir used dirt from the hole in the ground to form some rope. Eris was tied up in no time.
Hopefully her clothes won't get too stained…
Suddenly!
"H-Hey holdup! Something is happening to her!"
Eris' form started growing transparent!
"Oh? This is unexpected."
She's focusing in and out of place!
"C-Crap! What do we do!?" I started panicking!
Did we kill her!?
Shit!
Crap!
Crap!
No!
"Calm down brat." Vanir flicked my forehead.
"Look." He pointed at Eris.
Her form stopped vanishing and soon went back to normal.
"I-I-Is she o-okay? Untie her damn it!"
Vanir snapped his finger and the dirt binds were no more.
"H-Hold on- Something's wrong with her!"
Chris? Eris? Which one is she right now!?
Chris/Eris had features from both of her appearances!
She had the same scar on her cheek as Chris does but it was more faded. She had the same violet-silverish long hair as Eris, instead it only reached her waist. Something else was missing from her. She seemed… duller? Her skin didn't glow as much as it used to. Just what really happened to her?
What's wrong with her?
"Eris! Eris! Wake up!"
"Aughh-" She started waking up!
"Stahp! Stop shaking me! Huh- Kazuma?" She sat up.
"Are you… crying?" She asked me.
"N-No…"
"Hey wait! What did you two do to me!?" She quickly stood up. "H-HUH!? I feel so weird…" She went to a nearby mirror and checked herself. She twisted and turned and felt herself all over.
"What the hell did you two do to me!?"
"Well… You see…"
"O-Oh- This isn't good at all!" Eris shook her head from side to side with immense speed.
She sighed a breath of frustration. "Look, Kazuma, I'll try to explain things as simple as I can for you."
Eris let out another sigh. "You see, each God has their own custom avatar they use whenever they visit their own respective worlds. This is true for me as well, my avatar as you know is Chris. As for Aqua-senpai… she didn't choose to make a unique one. She just made her avatar a replica of herself, just a bit weaker."
Of course she did.
"We use avatars to fully explore our worlds. The avatar system was created to keep us in check. If any God were to go into their world in their base form… They'll be too powerful and will probably mess with the natural order of things or something else might go wrong. So that is why avatars were created. If we enter our world without our avatar form, we'll only be able to retain that form for a couple of minutes tops. After those minutes are up, we'll turn into our avatar. Simple as that, right?"
"Now what you guys did. The amount of time we have left before we turn into our avatar is dependent on the amount of energy we have. Then you drained touched my energy with a Lich skill and tied me up with rope filled with a Devil's energy. A strong one at that."
"We both know that Undead/Devils and Gods don't mix well. So when you basically forced me to swap forms by draining me AND having me tied up by rope formed out of a devil's power, my body naturally tried to resist them both. It ended up backfiring… My body trying to resist two influences while also keeping my energy levels up caused a lot of strain on me. It completely confused my immune system and it didn't know what to do. Either be a Goddess or be my avatar. Can you guess which it chose for me?"
"Neither." She stated.
"I'm in a state where I'm neither fully "Chris" nor "Eris". I'm sort of in a state where I'm in-between them. The Devil's influence managed to sap me of all my holy energy!"
Ch(E)ris sighed. "That's about everything I know about this little phenomenon. You guys really screwed me over. I expected as much from a devil but not you Kazuma!" She started shaking me! What's with Goddesses and shaking people!?
"I-I-I-I'm s-sorry! s-stop w-with t-the s-s-shaking already!"
"Thanks- anyways, do you know when you'll go back to normal? It's a little weird seeing you like this, even your voice sounds different!" I said.
"Huh!? Bleh! Uuuu~ Aaaa~ Huh!? I do!?" The hybrid made all sorts of sounds.
"Great… Now I look and sound weird."
That's true, her voice is a higher pitch from Chris' but still lower than Eris'. Once again, she was in-between the both of them.
"…I don't know how long this'll last." She said in a defeated tone.
"Oi, can't we just get Aqua for help?"
"NO! Absolutely NOT!" She swiftly denied me!
"Why not!?"
"Because… Because…" She started twiddling her fingers.
"Because..?"
"Because she'll never let me live it down!" She cried out. "If she finds out that I was defeated by a Devil and a human she'll never let me rest! I'll be seen as a disgrace in heaven! She'll start spreading rumors down here too!" She sheepishly covered her eyes.
"Thou wasn't defeated by a measly devil! Thou was defeated by Moi, Vanir! Hohoho!" Vanir pridefully laughed. "And under a minute as well!"
"Can it!" She yelled.
"Plus… if I ask for help… they'll ask me to go back to my duties… and I won't be able to say no." She beamed up at me. "I want to enjoy my vacation a little more, let's have some fun, Assistant! Let's ditch this stinky place and have some real fun!"
"Sure… but can you clean yourself up first? You- we reek of booze now."
"…sorry."
Eris looked around. "Oi! Where's my teddy bear and that damn photo! I swear if you hurt him I'll make you suffer! And don't you dare show that photo to anyone or I'll-"
…Huh?
"Your clothes! They're glowing! Are they going to disappear?"
Eris bloomed bright red and dashed to the back. "D-Don't come back here!"
"Hey, did your pajamas vanish on you too? I can lend you my tracksuit for a while. Here I'll give it to you-"
"No! I'd rather the devil come back here instead of you!"
Ouch.
I sighed. "Oi, Vanir. Do you have any spare clothes she can wear? Preferably not used."
Vanir rubbed his mask. "I believe the shopkeep has a spare set she hasn't worn. Moi will grab it."
"Oi Eris. Vanir is going to grab you some clothes."
"A-Alright… Can you bring a sewing kit too?"
"Moi will see if we still have one in our collection."
"T-Thanks. If you do anything fishy with it I won't hesitate to send you back to Hell! You hear me!?"
30 Minutes Later:
Vanir and I were discussing our plan to incorporate Eris into our little schemes. She wanted to have some fun so maybe we'll be able to get her on board. I would really appreciate the help. Although I couldn't skip out on Vanir's rant on how delicious Eris' emotions were and how he still preferred my party over hers. He went into precise and extensive detail on why.
"Anddddd~ I'm done!" Eris yelled from the back and stepped out.
*Badump!
Wow…
Eris was wearing a light purple blouse with a dark golden stripe embroidered on the side of each sleeve. The chest area had a little smiley face embroidered on it.
She had a skirt of a darker purple color to match the blouse. It had dark yellow chain like designs embroidered in the sides of the skirt, perfectly paralleling the blouse's sleeves.
There was a purple ribbon present on the side of her head.
There were some black parts of cloth sewn on the backside of her blouse and some on the backside of her skirt that formed a vent, sorta like Vanir's suit, they perfectly parallel each other once more.
She looks just like a country girl!
She did a little twirl and struck a cute pose:
"Soooo~ what do you think?" She asked.
"Absolutely breathtaking…" I responded, mouth agape and all.
Eris came over to me and handed me something.
Clothes?
"Here. I made us a matching pair! It's good to stay together when the going gets tough!" She smiled at me.
"…And I saw how you were basically getting man hunted when you went out into public… So I thought this might help hide you. I even sewed a mask onto it. Sorry I couldn't help you out with that one…"
*Badump!
So cute!
"I-It's fine, no need to worry about it any longer. Hmmm?"
"Something up?"
"Ah, so the rumors were false after all, you really don't pa-"
SLAAP!
At The Mixed Bathhouse:
"You didn't have to slap me so hard… Will you kill a guy for making a joke?"
"Hmph, you deserved it." Eris said with a pout.
Me and Eris were in a mixed private bathhouse at my request. She pulled some strings with some of her contacts and got us in here to avoid the public eye and have some privacy.
Of course with her new appearance and voice, she had to make an excuse about how she got healed by a miracle worker. They didn't buy it, but they didn't care enough to pry further.
So now we were sitting on opposite sides of the bath, facing one another.
"Hmph, you know I would appreciate you having a little extra faith in me."
"Same could go for you." I retorted. "I'm still pissed at you for spying on me. What's with you Gods and invading my privacy!?"
"W-What are you talking about?" She let out a sheepish laugh. "That was just a part of my duty as a Goddess. And I didn't tap into your consciousness either, so your private and perverted thoughts were safe."
Playing like that are we?
"Well that's not what I found."
Eris froze.
"You had records dating back to when I first got here. Not only that but you had a whole category labeled 'Funny Moments' . I snooped around the settings too, I found nothing to turn off the mind reading feature." I pointed at the accused. "You damn LIAR!"
"I-I can-" I cut Eris off.
"One final thing; the clothes you knit for me." I said.
"What? Did you not like them?" Eris asked me.
"They're fine, it's just how you made them."
"H-Huh?"
"You don't have any godly powers to make them fit me just right, like in your room. You had to know my size to sew them up perfectly."
Eris started sweating somehow despite us being in a bath.
"I don't think I've ever told anyone my size. The only way you could possibly know is if you read my mind…"
Eris sighed a sigh of defeat and conceded. "Ugh, fine you win. I was only watching you to look over Aqua-senpai! Honest! Eek- Okay okay! Just put the hand down!"
"You really did your research on this huh."
"Of course I did."
We both let out sighs.
"…"
"Speaking of Aqua… You've been acting like her a lot recently."
"HUH!? What do you mean Kazuma!? No I'm not!"
"Don't give me the denial crap! I can list a million reasons why! For example, the amount of alcohol you drank is eerily similar to Aqua's daily intake. You both sleep the same way too. You both drool, snore, and even cuddle something. And don't even get me started on how you both act like children."
"You're both closer to NEET-hood than I ever was!"
Eris started tearing up. "Wah!- Assistant you big bully-" She abruptly stopped and covered her mouth. Her face grew red.
She coughed. "…I see your point."
Eris slumped down. "I still feel bad about peeping into your thoughts. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
I opened my mouth to speak.
"No perverted acts."
She cut me off before I even got to speak!
"Have some faith in me!"
"I know how you think by now, you can be quite the perv Kazuma."
"I was going to ask for something else! I swear!"
Stareee
I turned my head away from her piercing gaze.
Eris sighed. "Just go ahead and ask away."
I cleared my throat. "Well you see…"
I started explaining the situation I was in and Vanir's proposal.
"No way! I am not working with a Devil! I have no idea why you even made a deal with one!" Eris swiftly denied.
"I already told you why! C'mon It'll be fun!" I proposed.
"There's no way I'll ever hurt my friends!"
"We're not going to hurt them! We'll just do a couple of small pranks on them. No harm done in a couple of light hearted jokes."
"Absolutely not."
"Fine then, I'll just have Vanir print out thousands of copies of that photo and send them to the Axis Sect. I'm sure they'll have a lot of fun seeing the horrible state you were in."
Eris froze in place.
"Maybe I'll sell that teddy bear to some random sneezy noble, I'll tell them the Goddess of Luck herself cuddled it to sleep every night. Who knows how much it'll sell for."
Eris slowly turned to me.
"You wouldn't dare." She said.
"Oh I will. I'm still thirsty for revenge after you've invaded my privacy for the past year now. I think I'll donate all my profits to the construction of new Axis churches all ooooover Belzerg." I let out a chuckle.
Eris was glaring daggers at me. I swear I could even sense enemy detection go off at times too.
"And if I decide to help you?" She asked in a very pissed voice.
"I won't leak the photos and I'll give you back the bear, it's as simple as that."
Eris took a step towards me. "And what if I just take the photo and bear back right now?" She said in a menacing voice.
"I don't have them with me and I won't tell you where they are. If you take a step closer I won't hesitate to steal that towel you're wearing in an instant!" I threatened her.
"Tsk-tsk Kazuma…" She wagged her finger at me.
"You don't have the GUTS TO!" She lunged at me!
C-Crap!
U-Uhh-
"Flash!" I moved out of the way and Eris landed at my previous location!
She was desperately rubbing her eyes. "WHY YOU!" She shouted.
I activated lurk and got out of the bath. I started looking around the room.
..!
"Where are you!? You damn coward!" She yelled!
Come on! Hurry up!
"There you are!" I heard the splashing of water and sounds of wet footsteps rapidly approaching behind me!
"I've got you!" She yelled.
"Bind!" I turned around and launched a rope made of towels straight at her.
"-Huh!?"
Holy shit! She was only a couple of feet away!
The makeshift rope consisting of a couple of towels temporarily tied her up and immobilized her. But not for long as she was already breaking out!
I made a mad dash towards her and activated drain touch. I drained from her nape out of fear of being killed in my sleep if I were to drain from somewhere else.
Luckily in her current state she didn't have enough stamina to last for long. After a couple of seconds she was fully paralyzed.
I caught her before she fell to the ground.
She sheepishly looked up at me. "Say Kazuma-san, did I ever tell you how cool you are? You- Eeeek- Okay Okay! I'll help you so put the hand down! I'm sorry! It won't happen again!"
I successfully convinced Eris to join the cause.
We were back in the baths, once again sitting across each other. I gave Eris her energy back and unbound her.
"Ugh- I can't believe I agreed to help a Devil…" She whined.
"Oh c'mon, you said you wanted to have fun right? Don't you think this'll be pretty damn fun?"
"I guess… but won't they recognize me? Specifically Aqua." Eris asked me in worry.
"I doubt it, you don't look too much like Chris nor Eris right now. Your voice will probably throw them off too."
"I hope they won't find me out… Ugh, if only I knew we were going to be doing some thieving, I would've made our outfits cooler!" She groaned.
Is Megumin's excessive chunni-ness rubbing off on her too?
"Hey, you're not really Chris or Eris anymore right? So how about I start calling you something new instead? It'll help keep suspicion low too."
"Erm- sure..?" She went along with it.
"How about… Cleris..?"
"Absolutely not." She immediately denied me! "That name is lame." She complained. "Come up with a better one."
"We can do that later… We should probably get out now, we've been here too long."
"Good point."
"Say Kazuma?"
"That's me."
"When are we supposed to go retrieve that thing? The thing that devil wants?"
"Oh, tonight."
"Tonight!?"
It seems I've forgotten to tell her about that part of the plan.
Oh well, Erica(WIP) will probably come through.
Maybe.
Hopefully.
…
Please don't make my life miserable.
"How could you not have mentioned that before!?" Christene started shaking me again!
"Stop with the shaking already! I'm getting dizzy!"
AN: Next chapter is the heist. I just want to preemptively say this; ANY PERSONA V RELATED THINGS ARE PURELY COINCIDENTAL. I CAME UP WITH THE PLOT BEFORE I EVEN PLAYED IT. I wanted more thieving action so that's gonna be the basis from now on.
Edit 1: I fixed some stuff I overlooked. Sorry about that.
