This choice: They actually find someone they know • Go Back...Chapter #7They actually find someone they know by: Unknown Ram maintained a subtle mocking expression throughout the short journey she shared with her new sister. It wasn't just that Subaru had a face that looked like it had been sculpted by an artist; his own personality meshed so well with his current body that it really felt like he should have been born with it. The hints of coldness of his face, embodied in somewhat stern eyes and an aura more dignified than adorable, were offset by the warm light of childishness he always carried in his soul.
His gaze was full of vitality instead of contempt, his facial expressions conveyed more emotion than a human should be capable of and even his lips looked cute when he made them dance. Subaru's entire existence, divided into the graceful body of a maid and the candid spirit of a child, was perfectly beautiful in every way: somehow he combined childlike cuteness and imperial elegance as perfectly as her sister Rem, which never ceased to fascinate her.
For the first time in her life, Narberal Gamma was a safe and recommended marriage option for ordinary humans.
"Are you sure you haven't seen anyone else besides me, sis?"
"Of course I am, sister Cinderella" replied the redhead. “A pity: I suspect Lady Emilia would have loved your new look. Perhaps now you have more chances to woo her.”
"Don't be ridiculous, please."
Ram looked at him like he was an idiot and spoke to him with the tone of voice of someone teaching a child to read.
“Before this happened, your chances were a negative number. Now you at least have the vague hope that Lady Emilia is bisexual.”
Subaru sighed heavily as he felt Ram give him the most satisfied look she had ever shown him. He wanted to slap himself until he bled to try to escape that nightmare.
"Yo're enjoying your new enhanced femininity, huh?" he attacked. "I mean, now even I have more sexual power than your original form."
“Yes, and in a way Ram is proud of you. I thought you were going to be a living embarrassment for the rest of your life, but you've outdone yourself and now you're a full-fledged angel… Ahhh, I've never had so many reasons to believe in God. By the way, Cinderella, try walking with a straighter posture," she added. "You'll look more elegant that way."
“Don't you think you're…humiliating me enough for the rest of my life?”
Ram responded with a resounding non-verbal “no” when she readjusted his thick black ponytail and dusted his maid dress. And she would have continued to psychologically trample on him had it not been for the fact they both heard an incandescent roar reaching them from behind.
"KAZUMA, LET ME GO RIGHT NOW, YOU DAMN BRAT!"
"SHUT UP, YOU STUPID FORMER GODDESS!"
What seemed to be a military combat adapted to be a verbal contest surprised them both so much that they decided to approach after exchanging an intrigued look. Not long after, they witnessed the most surreal scene they had seen in years: a blonde little girl seemed about to physically assault a woman much larger and older than her, both wearing clothes Ram had never seen before, in front of a young woman with hideously pale skin and absolutely aristocratic clothing.
“Excuse me, but…are you alright? Have I done something wrong?” she asked the latter, and in doing so she showed a pair of blades set in her jaw.
"See?! She is a vampire! An undead! Let me kill her right here, right now!”
“You don't have your false goddess skills anymore, you idiot! Also, aren't vampires supposed not to stand stand the sun?!"
"I'm a real goddess, you NEET brat!"
"…You're a goddess?"
The pale woman stared at her for several seconds with those huge rubies that served as her eyes, showing a shine of unimaginable purity in every feature of her face. Suddenly, like inspired by a divine message, she smiled and accidentally appealed to the ego of her assassin wannabe.
“Doesn't that mean you're possibly the most beautiful woman in the world? I mean, you're already pretty pretty right now, and that's not supposed to be your real face... You must be amazing!" she said with what could only be described as childish glee.
Suddenly, the ex-goddess had all thought of her reset as the expression on her face emptied: it was the first time in her entire existence that someone immediately recognized her as a superior being.
“Of course I am, little girl! I, Aqua, the goddess of water, possess a beauty unimaginable to mortals like you!”
“Goddess of water…?”
The beautiful vampiress's features shrank as she sank for an instant in her thoughts: right after her, however, she flashed a smile so pure that not even her beast fangs were able to ruin it.
“In various parts of my world, water magic is so rare that those who can use it often serve nobles. Can you also use it to heal wounds too?” she inquired, visibly excited. “Because in that case, you must be a very dear and cherished goddess! I know someone who became a very important knight thanks to his healing powers, and he's not a god!”
"Exactly! My followers are much more loyal than those of any conceited goddess who hides the truth of her body!”
The next few minutes could only be described as the shortest and most effective taming process ever accomplished by a sentient being. Aqua was totally blinded by her own ego, receiving compliments that she didn't deserve but that she valued more than any treasure. The young blonde seemed to be displaying an inexplicable allergy that made her want to fall to the ground and die of disgust, while Subaru was beginning to struggle to hold back a laugh.
"...That's Emilia, right?" he commented, smiling. “There is no one else on this planet with that ability to ignore evil. It's admirable.”
"And very reckless," Ram sighed. "But this time it's being very convenient."  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
