This choice: The plan to get rid of the party fails • Go Back... As the group continued to walk through the tunnel Jane's mind was sent wondering, she really wanted to kill the rest of her group ▼though she might keep Aya alive…she'll have to cross that bridge when she gets there as they were undeserving of Satō-sama's love they couldn't possibly understand it like her.
But the obvious issue is how? She had to be sneaky so Satō-sama in his great knowledge wouldn't notice it, but was still effective in killing the rest.
She couldn't just fist fight them, that would be too barbaric and in honesty Rachel could easily crush her without thinking, so the best way is to send the hordes of undead after them but that would instantly point to her as suspect number one…then again since little is known about Necromancers, she could easily excuse it on that…but how?
"Aragh!" A loud screech bounced off the walls with the soft thumping of feet-
Now Aya-chan see this? Jane asked as she showed a light imprint in the rocky cave they made their home, both shunned from society for similar reasons.
"Uh huh," Aya's amethyst eyes shining bright much like an actual gem.
It warmed something deep within Jane's cold heart but she quickly shook her head as she continued the lesson.
"You can tell by how little the ground is impacted that it is a lightweight creature probably no bigger than you, now do you remember what I taught you a week ago?" Jane asked with a thin smile.
Aya's face scrunched up as she scratched the back of her head before her cute big eyes widened and she nodded.
"Jane twach Aya number!" Aya yelled out with a lisp as she jumped up and down.
Jane smiled again as she patted Aya's head.
"Good job! Now can you count how many toes this print has?"
Aya shook her head rapidly before poking at each toe saying a number out loud.
"One…two…twee! Twee toes!" She yelled with a smile and Jane just nodded.
"Now with the information of the location, size and number of toes we can make an informed guess that this is a-"
"Goblins approaching!" Masa yelled out as she pulled a dagger out of seemingly nowhere and entered a battle stance, the others quickly joined in with Keya quickly running to join Jane in the back before nocking her bow and aiming it down the hallway.
'Wait this is a perfect opportunity I can claim that in a weakened state I couldn't control the undead…this is perfect! I just need to rush to the front lines!' Jane thought with a wide smile as she began to stealthily move her way forward.
"Hoomans!" A large goblin about the size of Aya yelled as it rushed towards the group; this was probably their elder
Raising its massive club, it attempted to whack against Rachel's incredibly muscled thigh only for it to bounce off.
"Ha, this goblin thought it could do something against the mighty Rachel!" She laughed so loud that the cave visibly shook
"Stupid fool, one goblin might not do much on its on but if theres a huge group of them they could easily kill you!" Masa yelled as she stabbed the goblin.
"You worry too much Rachel can take on 100 or even 10 goblins on Rachel's own!" She shouted as she swung at another goblin.
As the fighting began Jane slowly staked her way forward
'This is also a perfect opportunity to put blame on these oafs as they couldn't keep the support in the back, this will be perfect!' She thought her face was starting to hurt with how much she was smiling.
"Good mate!" A random goblin yelled as it suddenly jumped towards Jane, not listening to its words Jane sent a mental command to all of her undead to attack everything in sight besides her, Satō-sama and Aya.
"Arh!" Yelling the many voices of the dead, understanding their mistress was under attack, they began swinging their rusty blades or clubs at everyone as they tried to approach. All the while Jane ran towards Satō-sama the goblin quickly got onto her back.
"Satō-sama! Please save me!" She screeched, though she put this on for an act. There was still a bit of worry as she remembered a time long ago where she heard what goblins would do to young women.
"CELESTIA SLASH!" Satō-sama suddenly yelled as he pulled and slashed his gigantic black sword in the same movement.
The world suddenly turned to white as sounds of pain echoed off the grimy tunnel walls.
In that white…something flashed in Jane's- no Jonathan's mind, a moment of clarity…what the hell was he thinking…he went total batshit there…he was really planning to kill people for this…handsome…no!
Jonathan's chest rapidly moved up and down as he tried to control his mind…Jane was much more powerful than he thought at the first…he needed to control her better.
"Girls? Are you all right?" Satō-sama's voice echoed off the slowly vanishing witness
"Hmph I would be if that abomination didn't lose control!" He could hear Masa's voice combined in a hiss.
"Rachel agree, it would be fine if that honorless magician didn't lose control!" Rachel yelled as the tunnel shaked once more.
"Hehe! I am fine with just a few light cuts I've had to deal with worse, though why is everything white?" He could hear Keya say with a giggle.
"It should be wearing off soon, my bad it just seemed like it was getting bad. Speaking of which, can you care to explain what happened?" Satō-sama asked though he couldn't see it, Jonathan definitely felt his gaze on him.
"Sorry…I was pushed towards the front when suddenly that vile goblin tried to attack me, the undead are deeply bound to me and so when I am in distress they're in distress making them attack anything and everything around them…" Jonathan said, trying to recollect Jane's pitiful excuse.
"So you're totally useless? I told you we shouldn't have picked her up," Masa once again hissed at Jonathan, this time he could see it as the blinding finally started to dissipate, her usual cute cat ears were standing on point.
"Making honorable warriors fight for you is already terrible but then you do something screwy with their mind, you're no better than
Beelzebub!" Rachel shouted.
As soon as she shouted that name Kaya's pointy ears flopped down and she tightly gripped her green dress
Jonathan gave a brief glance before looking at Satō
"Now, now calm down girls, it's fine it was an honest mistake, and to be honest it seems you two were at fault too, you are the vanguard you are supposed make sure nothing gets past the front and attacks the support but it seems that didn’t happen, which fine all we can do is learn from this mistake"
The girls quickly gave a nod before Satō-sama once again spoke.
"Now let’s continue one and be prepared…though I do have a question," he said as he began walking, the girls quickly began to follow after.
"Whose this Beelzebub guy? I was only told about the demon lord" Satō-sama said as he scratched the back of his head.
"He was an elven, magician-" Kaya said in a darker tone no longer did she have a cheery and upbeat tone to her…and quite frankly it was pretty scary.
"That doesn't sound too bad, so what did he plan to take over the world or something?" Satō-sama said with a shrug of his shoulder.
"...he was the only native Terran to have two magic schools-" Kaya tried to continue only for Satō-sama once again to barge in.
"That's not a very original threat, though I think it would have been cooler if I had to fight him over this dumb demon lord dude," Satō-sama said while scratching his ear.
"The two he had were very special, one was Necromancy a magical school that unlike in other cultures us elfs deem nearly divine though after Beelzebub's rise to power we started to confirm to the others view-"
"As you damn well should! Leave people to their graves, they earned their spot in Valhalla do not take them away," Rachel glared at the small elf girl and Jane.
"And…the only known recorded school of Mind," Kaya said looking towards the floor.
"Mind? I haven't heard of that one, though I am personally not interested in this whole magic stuff, I much prefer just swinging around ol' Excalibur here,' ' Satō-sama said with a smile as he patted his sword.
"Enemies turned to friends and friends turned to Enemies, kingdoms fell with a single swipe of his gilded hand, as father killed son and wife killed husband." Masa spoke up, her eyes a particularly cold as she said what sounded like a line from a book.
"Interesting if a bit formulaic…" Satō-sama said seemingly not care or maybe he wasn't listening? It was hard to talk with him.
"We're here," Jane said as they stood in front of the grand altar where a single man stood with his hands together in prayer.
"This has to be the Necromancer huh?" Satō-sama said as he unsheathed his sword.
"Girls I would close your eyes," He said before once more swinging the sword down, while shouting.
"CELESTIA SLASH!" Quickly Jonathan shut his eyes…and a few seconds later he reopened them.
"That should take care of that, now grab his necklace and another of value and let's report back to the guild," Satō-sama said as he quickly sheathed his sword.
…it was incredible to watch how quickly he disposed of him, and the huge group of enemies before Jonathan could feel a surge of jealousy. Why did he have to be stuck in this fanservicey body gushing over how handsome Satō-sama was!? Why couldn't he be the hero with this harem of women!?
These thoughts soon died down, as once again a passionate love for him took its place thankfully he was able to stay in control.
Looking around the now almost empty room with him and Kaya still in the room, though she was looking in the direction of where the Necromancer was praying.
Curious Jonathan walked closer to the elf only for his eyes to widen.
It was a large oil painting of a lean and gaunt looking elf he wore flashy golden robes and a large blue crown, held tightly in his hand was a scepter of similar color.
"Even after two hundred years he's still being worshiped," Kaya muttered before nocking a bow and stepping away before firing dead center into his forehead   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
