Chapter 29
Sobbings, the wail of suffering and rage is coming from a Pleiades maid, who is in the embrace of Yuri. Softly caressing her sister.
"I fail, I brought shame to Nazarick. I lost!" Cry Entoma.
Yuri pride herself on being the calmest and collected of her sisters. But she is furious at the state of her sister. She has a problem admitting that someone could defeat the Pleiades. The creation of the supreme ones. She can't believe it. But the look of Entoma worries her. Au-chan must be sick with worry for Entoma, Yuri thought.
"Is okay, Entoma is not your fault," Yuri whispered.
"I fail! I fail!" Entoma said repeatedly. They break her voice, and every time she talked. Is a reminder of her failure. Of her, losing the precious gift of her creator, Genjiro gave her.
"Entoma is okay. You are still cute," Cz said, patting her sister's head sweetly.
"We should ask our lady to let us kill those maggots," Solution said with a furious voice.
"We can't do that, our orders are to wait here," Yuri said.
"But!" Solution is interrupted by Demiurge, who arrived at the rendezvous point. They are standing in an empty room, with only a table and two chairs.
"We have our orders, the operation must continue. I am sorry Entoma but your revenge would have to wait," Demiurge said, to the crying maid. She calmed down after being healed. She put her face again and had this murderous aura around her. They will pay! Entoma thought.
"What are we going to do now, lord Demiurge?" asked Solution.
"Create as much chaos as possible, you can do whatever you want, but don't forget to act according to the plan," Demiurge said.
"We planted the seeds of doubt, the first step to our lady revival will star now," Demiurge said, with a twisted smile
The capital of Re-Estize Kingdom is being torn apart by demons of every kind. They fill the streets with bodies of dead people as they are being eaten. Some alive, others don't. For the poor humans there, this is hell. For the demon empress, a confusing opportunity.
Everyone in the room is listening to Evileye and the golden princess plan. They all gasp when Evileye told them how strong the demon named Jaldabaoth is. About the power he commands, and that no one can defeat him in single combat. Well, except for Galadriel. Narberal and Lupusregina are not paying attention to anyone. They seem irritated, and angry at the fact that Entoma was wounded and defeated. They couldn't care less about humans being killed left and right.
Galadriel sigh, trying to calm her demon down. When this is over, she will take a few days off. Trying to figure out Demiurge plans is so frustrating. If she tells him to bring her an ice cream. He would do something beyond what she ordered. Like destroying a mountain, to bring her the ice for her ice cream.
"I only wanted to start slowly, to build my kingdom. Step by step, not pressure or anything. I am playing connect four, and he is playing four dimension chess," Galadriel thought.
"Why is Pandora's Actor here? I don't understand… He should be with Cocytus unless that job is over. Well, that is nice. But what is he doing here? Will he use the Witch Queen persona here? But why?" Soo much thinking is making her hungry. And honestly, she wanted to end this.
Galadriel watched the golden princess, and she grew curious about her. She looks nice and good. But there is something inside of the princess. A twisted personality, hiding underneath.
"Strange… She feels fake… That look on her face looks like when Lupusregina is interacting with humans. A mask of sorts," Galadriel thought.
"Also, it was with a single attack!" Evileye said, bringing Galadriel out of her mind. Looking at the people near the map table.
All the poor adventurers paled when they heard that. Asking about the details, and how is that possible. Galadriel looks amuse under her helmet. She knew that Demiurge didn't even try to kill them. If that was the case, their bodies would have never been found.
"Don't panic! Jalbadaoth is indeed strong. If all of us here were to face him. We would probably be slaughtered as a group," Evileye said.
"I think Demiurge would have taken all of you back to Nazarick, then he would have taken his time killing you… Or perhaps, he would have made all of you wish that you were dead," Galadriel smirked viciously.
"However! This is not to say that they beat us!" The youthful girl exclaimed.
"As you all may know, a third adamntite-ranked team was recently formed in E-Rentel! May I present you, the team Darkness, and their leader, the dark hero Elian!" Evileye said Galadriel groan at the looks of wonder of the people in the room.
"Thank you for coming, lady Elian, I hope you can help us in this," the princess said with the best smile she could bring. But she didn't fool Galadriel. Not at all.
"Don't worry about it princess, we will do whatever we can," Galadriel said.
"Good, now please listen to my plan," the princess said.
The princess explains the plan; it is a very obvious and simple one. The demon Empress saw the brilliance of the girl, and how prepared she is. Perhaps Demiurge's plan is not that complicated. Now that she is taking time to think, bringing Pandora's Actor here is an excellent move.
Demiurge could play the role of the evil one. The Witch Queen could be an anti-hero. And the dark hero Elian as the savior. Covering all sides of the spectrum, expanding their influence.
"But how can we use the Witch Queen? What exactly can we use her for… The plans I had for her are out the window, So what now? Mm, I can think in a couple of things, but I will need Demiurge for that, I will talk with him," Galadriel thought.
The meeting ended, and as far as Galadriel can see, everyone looks ready to puke. The lower ranks adventurers who will be the meat shield of the operation seems nervous.
Galadriel took the time to think about this strange feeling she had about this operation. The nobility seem to be quite against to help to defense anything but their own home. And the sudden appearance of Gazef Stronoff makes her wonder about Demiurge's intentions. The princess makes her ponder if she is part of the scheme of things.
"There is something I am missing. The Eight Fingers infiltration. The attack of Demiurge in the middle of everything. The battle between factions in the kingdom…" Then it struck Galadriel and let a slight laugh. Making Narberal and Lupusregina looking at her confused. Galadriel only needs confirmation from Demiurge. But she worries because the more complex the plan is, the easier it is for it to fail. And she didn't want that.
"I think I manage to understand about this plan. Mm, I guess I am not that clueless after all!" Galadriel thought, smiling.
"Elian?" Asked Lupusregina.
"Nothing, my dear, just thinking. Now we need to socializewith the rest. I want you both to try to learn as much as you can from the rest of the adventurers, and see if there is anything I should know," Galadriel whispered.
Narberal and Lupusregina nodded and went on their way. Suddenly she felt as if someone is behind her. She turned around and she the masked girl. Behind her.
"Ah, she is following me?" Galadriel wondered.
"Evileye, what can I do for you?" Galadriel asked.
"Ah… Well, you know… You wanted to meet my captain, so, you know," Evileye said with a shy tone.
"Yes, you are right," Galadriel said.
Narberal and Lupusregina seem to get along with the rest. Galadriel felt proud that Narberal could now reduce the times she used the word, maggots, mosquito, embryo, and many others. She has come so far. And for Lupusregina, well. She can mask her true self from everyone easily. She approached the princess and her group. Watching intensely the look of the princess. That smile is false.
"Princess Renner, Lakyus, this is Elian, the one who saved Gagaran and Tia," Evileye said.
"Lady Elian, please let me thank you for saving the life of my sisters," Lakyus said, bowing to her.
"Is nothing, there is no reason to thank me. I was doing my job," Galadriel said, moving more closely to them.
"Still, I am in your debt, if there is anything I can do, please tell me," Lakyus said.
"Lady Elian, I must thank you for assisting us," the princess said, making Galadriel wonder what is she planning.
"Is nothing, like I said early, is only my job. We must stop this demon at all costs, I will stop him," Galadriel said, trying to sound confident.
"We are glad to have you on our side," the princess said, with the same cold fake smile.
"Interesting, she is fantastic at this. That acting of her, the way she moves around with that face. The eyes that hide something twisted. They remind me of someone, I don't know why," Galadriel thought. The princess seems to look at the blonde boy across the hall. Talking with a man with blue hair. For a brief moment, those eyes had this look of obsession.
"Lakyus, my sister and Gagaran seem to be fine now, but I don't think they will join us," Tina said, arriving at the group.
"Will make do," Lakyus said with a sigh.
"Lady Elian, what about your two companions, can they help us in the front lines?" Lakyus asked.
"Nabe and Regina are strong, they will prove useful in the battle," Galadriel said.
"You worry too much, evil leader. You can always use the dark mystic power of your sword to kill anything around you," Tina said, bringing the attention of the demon empress. Underneath her helmet, golden eyes intensely watch Lakyus, wondering what kind of sword she posses. If she has something that could harm someone from Nazarick, she would have to take action.
"What kind of sword you have?" Galadriel asked.
"She posses one of the sword of darkness, the one crafted by no one else, but the Ancient one. Galadriel Melkor!" Said Tina with a smile. Loving the look on her captain's face.
"She possesses one of my swords? Wait, where are the other ones?" Galadriel thought, surprised to hear that her sword is here.
"Is Kilineyram, the demon sword," said Lakyus, blushing.
"From what Lakyus has said before, this sword was made from the soul of a thousand demons, and has the power to destroy an entire country!" Tina said, and everyone gasps.
"It also seems to corrupt the wielder!" Evileye said.
"Lakyus, are you safe from this sword?!" The princess said, worried for her friend.
"Ye-Yeah!" Lakyus said, looking like she wanted to jump out the window.
"Wait, a minute! I don't remember the sword being able to do that! I crafted for a competition and it sucks!" Galadriel thought.
"Could it be that this sword manages to gain more powers in this word?!"
"We… We can't talk about it later, right? We've got more important things to discuss, don't we?" Said Lakyus, looking nervous.
"I will need to investigate this, those swords of mine. I wonder if crafting would be different in this world… I will deal with that later," Galadriel thought, making a mental note to investigate this Lakyus girl.
From outside the room, another lightning bolt strikes the wall of fire. Galadriel is sure that is a signal of sorts, then right on cue. The golden princess brought the attention of everyone.
"Everyone please gather your equipment, is time," princess Renner said.
"Was she waiting all this time? Mm, I wonder what is she aiming at," Galadriel before gathering with the rest, wondering about the golden princess goals.
In Nazarick, a blonde girl is resting peacefully in a big luxurious bed. Her blonde hair and turquoise eyes show a peace like no other. She heard a knock from the door. For a moment, she feared the worst. But after remembering that, she is no longer there. And that she is safe in Nazarick, she sighs.
"Tsuare is me, Sebas," the old butler said, entering the room. Quickly, Tsuare's mood brighter. Feeling happy at her savior's presence. She is thankful that he is here, she can't still feel uncomfortable alone.
"How are you feeling?" Sebas asked.
"I am fine, S-Sebas," Tsuare said shyly. Sebas nodded.
"Good, I know is sudden, but I wanted for you to know. That our lady wants you to be ready, if you are serious about working in Nazarick has a maid. You will have to work harder. I will help you all I can, but at the end is up to you," Seba whispered.
"I will do my best! I want to prove that I can help you. That I can be useful to our lady," Tsuare said, feeling confident for the first time in her life.
"I know you will," Sebas said.
Tsuare took the hand of Sebas, liking the feeling of his warm and strong hand touching her skin. She still remembers the kiss she gave him. It was at the heat of the moment, not something she thought through. But she likes it.
"Tsuare," Seba's voice makes her body shiver, pleasantly.
"Sebas, thank you for saving me… For being there for me," Tsuare said. Sebas smiled, caressing her cheeks slowly. Remembering the words of his lady.
"Sebas… Take care of her, she will need you," The sad face his lady had, at that moment. Worries him, but he understood why. There is still something inside his lady that seems to resent and love. From his creator, Touch-me. But he will take care of Tsuare, he will be there for her.
"I will be there for you," Sebas said, making Tsuare smile. Then he hears someone knocking, making Tsuare nervous. But he smiled, knowing who that person is.
"Tsuare there is someone you would like to meet," he said.
"Who?" Asked Tsuare.
Before he could answer, entering the room, a brown hair girl with blue eyes. Looks in shock as tears ran down her cheeks. Tsuare immediately recognizes her face and gasp.
"Sister!" Ninya said, running at her.
"Ninya!" Both sisters hugged each other, fearing that they would disappear or something. Sebas smiled, feeling happy at the reunion of the girls. That destiny split apart most cruelly. Something finally good happens to them and knowing that they would be happy in Nazarick. Makes him smile.
"Are you all right? You are not hurt?" Ninya asked, holding Tsuare's hands.
"I am fine. Everything is fine now," Tsuare said.
"I will leave the both of you for a while. I will bring something to eat," Sebas said, leaving the room. The moment he left the room, he met the head maid of Nazarick. Standing there, waiting for him.
"Pestonya, what can I do for you?" Sebas asked.
"I am just worried about the girl, even though she is healed physically, her mind… Well, you know what does that means," the dog maid said.
"I see," Sebas only said.
"Our lady wanted me to be sure she is mentally fine if we will train her as a maid. You must know what does that requires. We take our job seriously… Ah, woof," Pestonya said.
"I know, I want to help her all I can," Sebas said.
"I will help you too, don't worry. But I think she will also need to learn how to take care of children… Ah, woof," Sebas only stared confused, not understanding what does she mean with that. But maybe he did but didn't actually want to say anything about that topic. Yet that is.
