Chapter 12
In the city of E-Rantel in the midst of the night, a man was running for his life. As he hears a hideous laugh behind him.
"Where are you running? ~," the poor man was on his ground staring at the blond girl in fear.
"I told you all I know what else do you want?!" he screamed.
"I don't need information anymore, I just need corpses~," she said.
"No!" she laughs at him as she stabbed him to convert him to a mindless puppet.
"With this, we would have quite the number~," she smiles.
Taking all the new bodies back to Khajiit, she teased him with her accomplishment.
"They are so many now, what do you think, don't you think I made a wonderful job? ~," she said.
"Certainly..." he grumbles.
"He was not here, maybe he left to somewhere who knows, should I go for his grandmother?" she gave a sadistic look, and Khajiit only treats her about doing reckless things.
Clementine knew that a battle between them would be long and difficult, so she left in peace, for now.
When she was walking in the middle of the night, suddenly memories attack her. Memories of her training, things that she hated to remember.
She was always the lesser of her family, no matter what she did, they never took notices of her. Only her brother, always him.
She grabs her head and started to hit herself by slamming her head on the ground.
"I am strong! I am strong! I am strong!" she repeated herself.
The same words she said every night when they torture her to become stronger. The only thing they did was break her, but she didn't care.
The sole thing that she was thinking is in killing her brother, nothing more, she would do anything to achieve it.
The silence of the group was very deadly. The boys of the group didn't understand why, but the ladies did.
Narberal was staring at the ground, not wanting to see at either Lupusregina or her lady. She still had a deep blush on the face.
Ninya as well. She thought about what she saw and could only squeak. She could barely glance at the dark warrior and the cleric because they look so... frustrated.
Lupusregina had an angry expression on her face. She would glance at Narberal and whispered "Cockblock". Just to make her sister feel even more depressed.
Galadriel, for her part, was thankful that she was wearing a helmet because she didn't think she would have been able to look at any of them in the face.
She is angry and embarrassed and frustrated as well since, both Narberal and Ninya truly killed the moment, she just got dressed and leave to be alone, Lupusregina has spent the entire morning throwing daggers at both, Ninya and Narbela.
She realizes after a few minutes that this is ridiculous, yes; they got caught, Lupusregina and her were having sex... or at least starting to have sex.
"I am an adult for god sakes, this is stupid, I need to make things clear, yeah, that's right," Galadriel got the attention of the girls in the group, getting them closer together.
"Are two going to keep blushing like that?" she announced.
"I... well," Ninja stutter.
"My-Elian, apologize for... interrupting," said Narberal.
"You better," murmured Lupusregina.
"We are both adults, so what is the problem?" Galadriel asks.
"I have never... seen anything like that," Ninya admit.
"If I knew... I would've let you continue," admit Narberal with a slight tone of jealousy.
"What about this, let's forget about yesterday, okay?" Galadriel said.
The small conversation, calm things down a little, at least enough to have a natural conversation.
"I must ask, Ninya, why are you dressing up as a boy?" Ninya froze for a moment then sighs, knowing that she got caught.
"Some people say that having a girl in a party only brings problems," Galadriel only snorts.
She understands that she does, but at the same time is stupid. Back in Yggdrasil, she saw many guilds with females leaders, including Ainz Ooal Gown, when Touch me-san step down for a problem, she took the mantle and manage to keep things running smoothly until the end.
"And it's truly the only reason you do it?" she asked the inexperienced girl.
"Well, I guess... I wanted to be taken seriously when they see me, they see only a small fragile girl with a talent, I have heard histories about parties taking advantage of girls like me," Ninya hissed.
Galadriel thought for a minute, and she came to the same conclusion. It could happen to anyone, so it makes sense that she wanted to take care of herself.
"Do you believe that they would do something like that?" Galadriel whispered. Ninya looks back at the guys who seem to talk among themselves. She let a slight smile.
"Never, they are not like that... they are my friends, I trust them with my life," she said.
"Don't you think it would be better if you told them the truth? They are your friends, your party, you know that eventually they will find out and that lie may hurt your relationship with them. Do you want that?" Galadriel asks the girl who seems to have a hurt face.
"I... I will try to think about it, I know I would have to tell them sooner or later, it's just that... I'm scared, but I know that the only way to become stronger is to face my fears, I need to be stronger," Ninya said with a determined face.
"Stronger?" Narberal asks with no bite on her voice.
"You became an adventurer to save your sister?" Lupusregina asks, suddenly interested in the girl.
Ninya was silent for a few moments, but the look at them with a fierce gaze.
"I want to save my sister, some lord from the kingdom kidnapped her, I intend to save her whatever the cost," Galadriel sigh, even though she was a demon, she could feel a little pity for her. Even understand a few of her emotions.
"Wait, what is going on? Where did this fence come from?" the voice of Nfirea snap the group of girls back to reality.
"Wow, look that wall," Lukrut said amaze.
Galadriel was looking at the village and she recognizes it; she was as well a little confused.
"Now this is strange, this wall is new, where did it come from?" she thought.
When they arrive at the door, a group of goblins greeted them, now that was a surprise.
"Nfirea!" the sudden voice of a girl brought the attention of everyone in the group.
"Enri?!"
"Well, it seems that the girl I save used the horn to call the goblins," she thought.
A few hours later they were preparing themselves to get some herbs and other things. Galadriel sends a quick Message to Albedo to get Aura, she needed to know about the beast who lives in the forest. She needs more prestige; she didn't want to be a copper adventurer for long, so if she brings the head of the beast of the forest, the one called the wise king of the forest, maybe she would jump a few ranks.
That was the plan at the very least until a certain bowl-cut blonde boy got her attention
"Can I speak to you freely, miss Elian? in private?" she looks a little confused for a moment. They got a little farther away, but she knew that Lupusregina and Narberal are ready if anything happens.
"Miss Elian... are you the witch queen of Nazarick?" he asks her abruptly.
"How does he know?! My background history was perfect! Wait, wait, think about it? Think, did I say something or did something?" while she is having a brainstorm. Both maids were looking at the poor boy with murderous intent.
"Both of you enough," she said, finally paying attention.
"Sorry, miss Elian... I only wanted to thank you for saving this village!" he said bowing deeply.
"Um, it was nothing," she said a little confused.
"How did you know it was me?" she asks him.
"It was dumb luck, A few days ago a girl came to me apothecary with a red potion, a potion that it's impossible to make, then you appear out of nowhere, this girl with red hair and freckles told me that you gave her that potion, and when I ask Enri about who saves her, she told me that the so call with the queen of Nazarick gave her a red potion as well, so that gave me all the evidence I needed, but I still wanted to make sure that they were the same person but the way you reacted confirm my suspicions, so again thank you for saving her life!" Galadriel and the maids were quite surprising.
"That was not dumb luck! Oh my god, that it's my fault, holy shit this boy it's very smart!" she could only nod at him.
"Can I ask you to keep things secret?" she looks at him, trying to use [For the weak minded]
"Don't worry, miss Elian, your secret is safe with me," he mumbled.
After all that, he left leaving behind Galadriel.
"Amazing, my lady!"
"my lady, that was brilliant!" exclaims both Narberal and Lupusregina, confusing Galadriel.
"Uh," she manages to say, baffled by the two maids.
"To think so ahead, to bring the boy with the talent to use any item to your service! Truly marvelous!" Narberal said with devotion.
"Yes, it truly amazing!"
"O-of course!" she exclaims.
"Does my lady think so far away all the time?" Lupusregina asks with love in her eyes.
"A-all the time, I am the supreme being of Nazarick!" Galadriel said with sweat running on her forehead.
After that, they went back to the forest to collect some herbs, Galadriel knew that Aura was already looking at them with a big smile on her cute face.
They felt a beast coming fast at their position. Galadriel convinces them to leave the beast to her and her two companions. Once they left, Aura jump down scaring both maids, since her invisibility was way ahead from the one of Lupusregina and only a level 100 player could notice if they have the skill of a certain item.
"La-lady Aura, please don't do that!" Narberal said a little scared.
"That was quite extreme!" said Lupusregina, a little nervous.
"Shishi, my lady, I brought the beast just as you order!" Aura said happily.
"Marvellous job Aura," Galadriel said happily as she felt the presence getting closer.
"My lady, when you kill it, can I have the beast fur? It would make for a wonderful coat," Aura said with an enormous smile.
"All right," she said, and then suddenly, the beast appears, throwing her tail with speed and intention to kill her.
She easily deflected with her swords, another couple of attacks came to her direction but she blocks them as well.
"I commend you for the ability to stop my attacks!" the voice was a little more, squeak that she would have believed it belongs to a monster.
"It's that so why don't you show yourself?!" she demanded to the creature.
"Oh, you truly wish to die, then? People go mad at my presence!"
From the shadows, a giant figure emerge, Galadriel was ready to have a little action, gods know that she deserves it since she still is frustrated from Narberal cockblock.
But what she saw truly stunned her to no end. This is not what she had in mind at all.
"Hahaha, I can see the shock and fear you hide underneath your helmet!" the creature exclaim
"Ah... can I ask you something? Are you... a perhaps Djungarian Hamster?" those words stop the... giant hamster to attack further.
"Oh, do you know my race name? Have you seen more of my specie? Maybe a male?" the hamster asks with somewhat hope in her tone.
"Well... eh yes, it was smaller than you and is dead... sorry," Galadriel thought back when Nishikienrai brought his pet hamster to Genjiro house. They live quite close to her before moving out, so they meet many times. Although she avoided the room of spiders that it was in Gejiro department like a plague.
Nishikienrai didn't and his hamster escape his small cage and went to explore that place, to said that the tarantula got enough food to last an entire summer would be a misunderstanding.
Poor Nishikienrai, he never forgave Genjiro, although it was not his fault, truly who brings his hamster to a house with a room full of spiders.
"That's bad... being the only female of my species, I need to work hard to get my race back to life, but it's hard when all males are dead... I have been so lonely," the hamster said depressed.
"Yeah, I know what it feels too," both hamster and Galadriel sighs.
"Any case, I will duel you to prove my strength," said the hamster, meanwhile Galadriel has lost any intention to fight the overgrown hamster.
"I wanted to fight... he is so fluffy to... I like fluffy things," Galadriel mutter while she was using her swords to draw in the ground.
"Any case let's end with this, [Demonic Aura I]" the moment she said it, the poor hamster felt to the ground crying.
"I yield! I yield!"
"Can we keep him?" said Aura with a smile.
Once they got the overgrown hamster named Hamsuke, they decide to go back and saw how the rest of the swords of darkness was completely marveled by the beast.
It's a bizarre world to Galadriel's humble opinion, still, the hamster would prove useful level up her rank. Even though she would hate riding it.
They agree to head back to E-Rantel and after another day of traveling they arrive; she had to ride Hamsuke to prove that she controls it. Meanwhile, everyone was amazed by her accomplishment. She could not help to feel anything but shame.
It was like she was doing a walk of shame or something, truly an awful day.
After the check-in in the guild office with Nfirea grandmother to make sure that the payment and her "achievement" was real, they decide to head back to the apothecary were the swords of darkness and Nfirea are waiting for them.
But it was when they arrive, to the place that she felt something, a strange feeling. It was blood; the air smell like blood.
"Regina, Nabe," she said as both maids enter the place fast, what she saw was the body of the swords of darkness in the ground.
The undead version of them raises up, and she quickly destroys them, with no hint of hesitation.
"What is going on here?! Where is Nfirea?!" the poor grandmother exclaims as she went looking for her grandson.
She examined the dead bodies of the party of young adventures and saw clean wounds. Like something stabbed them, with something pointing.
"Mm, they had a quick death," she said walking over their bodies.
"My lady," Lupusregina brought her attention as she saw the trail of blood guiding them to the sewerage, Narberal was quick to point out how obvious it was.
"Yes, this is a false trail," Galadriel said.
Suddenly she saw the dead body of Ninya on the floor, they beat her bloody; she had no eyes and was practically naked. Galadriel saw that the girl had tears on her cheeks.
"This is a bit unpleasant," she said annoyed.
Even after she has spent time with them, she couldn't care less about them dying. She was angry that someone kills them; she needed them to spread her name, and to make her prestige even greater.
"What should we do, my lady?" Lupusregina asks her.
"Mm, we will find those responsible for this, they dare to kill tools to increase my name, they will pay for it," Galadriel said.
Then she saw the body of Ninya one last time and remembered that she hadn't test resurrection in this world.
"Could I revive the guardians? Or myself? What would it be the drawbacks? Pestonya can use [True revive] or I could use one wand of resurrection. It would be a good experiment," she thought.
"Narberal, send a Message to Albedo, I want this body back to Nazarick, I want to Pestonya to use [True revive], I need to know about the drawbacks of reviving in this world, understood?" she said.
"Understood, my lady," as Narberal was getting ready, Galadriel went outside the room to meet the grandmother who was completely desperate.
"Please, save my grandson!" the grandmother exclaim.
"It's that a request?"
"I'm here, right in front of you, I'm the strongest adventurer in town, but my service won't come cheap," Galadriel said, using her skill [For the weak minded].
"How much would it cost me?" the elderly lady ask.
"It's not about how much can it cost you, but how much are you willing to give," Galadriel said.
"Everything... I'll do it, I will give you everything!" she exclaims.
"I see, as payment, I'll take everything," Galadriel said, given no room for negotiations.
Both didn't know that the cemetery of E-Rantel, was getting back to life.
