"...So I’ve gathered you all here to share so wonderful news! Zephyra, Tsukuyomi, and Delphina, this concerns you as well, and even though I normally wouldn’t speak with you, this case is special!" I say to the three seated around the dining table.
"What do you want, Grimm?" Delphina asks sharply. She obviously dislikes , but that hardly matters.
"Oh, co on, don’t be so an! We’re all girls involved with Pandora, right? I brought you here to let you know that Pandora is coming back." Obviously, I know. I see the future. I know exactly where she is and what she’s doing at this very mont.
’It’s ironic that Pandora thinks I’m a depraved pervert when she acts that way with her own sister.’ When I say this, everyone looks surprised, and Zephyra quickly glances at , her eyes shining with excitent. Even Delphina has a small smile when she hears it.
Only Tsukuyomi seems tense. After all, she isn’t a wife, a girlfriend, or soone Pandora loves. She’s rely a side effect who, by chance, ended up giving birth to Pandora’s daughter and nothing more.
"Will it take long?" Delphina asks curiously, her previous aggressive tone partially gone.
"No, less than five months. So I called you all because I was wanting to throw a welco-back party for Pandora. We have to prepare as soon as possible; after all, Pandora now has a new girl to shower with love." When I say this, Delphina’s expression jumps from happiness to sothing irritated.
Zephyra, on the other hand, still has that stupid sparkle in her eyes, caring only about the fact that Pandora is returning.
’Hahaha, how funny. Pandora broke her completely.’ Tsukuyomi looks relieved. I get it. With one more girl in the picture, Pandora will have less ti to check on certain things.
"It hasn’t even been three years since she left, and she’s already found another one!! She’ll see when she gets back!!!" Delphina puffs out her cheeks with a rage Pandora would deem cute.
"Well, well, well, is no one going to pay closer attention? You should know that Pandora has changed a lot." I’ve watched it all. Just as I’ve always watched Pandora’s life whenever I can, I’ve discovered so very interesting things.
The most interesting, obviously, is that Pandora is a reincarnated soul who ca from the world of heroes and that she used to be a man. I only found out because she told Violet about it, and the two of them had a conversation.
’Hehehe, what excellent blackmail material.’ I can hardly wait to use this against Pandora, having so kind of leverage over her for once—though I don’t actually plan on revealing it to anyone.
Besides, I doubt Pandora would care. At most, she wants to avoid the headache of other people finding out, but she also wouldn’t be bothered much if everyone knew that fact.
"What do you an?" Tsukuyomi asks, confused.
"Oh, it’s nothing major. Pandora just got colder, more monstrous, and more manipulative. But look on the bright side: she’s harder to irritate now, so she’ll punish those who wrong her with a clear head!" When I say this, Zephyra starts gasping, and her tail and wings tremble with fear.
"..."
"What? Don’t look at like that. I’m just stating facts. Pandora has beco even more monstrous, or rather, she’s drawn closer to her true nature and beco even more complicated than before." I’m only telling the truth.
"Incidentally, another change is in her strength. Pandora is intensely powerful now, so I think the closeness you two had with her will have to shift a bit." I can handle it because my level is also in the billions, and Delphina, as a goddess, can handle it too.
But Zephyra and Tsukuyomi? Hahaha, those two don’t even stand a chance of getting physically close to Pandora anymore without it being dangerous for them.
"Obviously Pandora will try to solve the proximity problem. I’m just stating the facts here for all of us. After all, you should be prepared for many things to change when Pandora arrives."
’Though I say that now, it’s no longer entirely safe for either...’ Before, Pandora had zero chance of beating or stopping from doing anything. Now, she’s already stronger than and could kill .
"Alright, I’ll help because I want to see Pandora happy!" Delphina does exactly what I predicted she would. Of course she’d help. She can act however she wants, but in the end, she’s Pandora’s little puppy who can’t help being submissive most of the ti.
"I-I’ll help too... b-but now I have to go back to my room." Zephyra is more hesitant now, not because she doesn’t want to participate, but because she’s afraid of failing Pandora and being punished for it. Which is hilarious, since Pandora would never punish any of us for ssing up a party.
"...I suppose I should participate too, then." Tsukuyomi, obviously not wanting to join, ends up agreeing due to peer pressure. After all, she is Eclipsya’s mother, and since she has a child with Pandora, it would be strange not to take part.
"Great! I’m so glad we all think alike! Pandora is going to love this," I say animatedly to them as we can now begin planning her arrival.
...
...
...
"Lycoris, what do you think?" I ask Lycoris while I’m lying atop a pile of bodies. Ever since we arrived at the war, everything has been very easy. Most of the opponents are weak.
"Aqua, I think you’re being far too reckless!! We can’t advance this deep into the elf forest. We might end up in danger..." Lycoris looks around, cautious and tense. In that sense, she’s less adventurous than I am.
"Oh, Lycoris, who could possibly hurt us? These weaklings here don’t stand a chance! We’re too strong! You know what? I think we could even win the war by ourselves!" I say arrogantly.
"Aqua!! Let’s head back. Calypso will be worried. You didn’t even tell anyone we were going into the forest, and we didn’t bring any soldiers."
"Lycoris!! It doesn’t matter. Just look!! We’ve taken out 2,469 eleven soldiers all by ourselves!! We’re invincible compared to this bunch of trash! We don’t need soldiers; they’d just get in our way." We’ve been at war for about two weeks now.
Before, we were quite limited and only had control of about a thousand soldiers. But now, it’s much more fun to co hunt directly. The adrenaline of slaughtering my enemies is addictive.
"I think we should go now!! Aqua, you’re being incredibly irresponsible about sothing serious again! I-If we get attacked by soone strong, there won’t be anyone to help us!! Calypso doesn’t even know we left, so if sothing dangerous happens, we could die."
"And I don’t want you to die..." she murmurs weakly. She doesn’t want to be in danger, but she’s also too submissive to forcefully drag back to base.
"Lycoris, don’t be a coward! I know what I’m doing, you’ll see! Once I conquer the elven kingdom, Mommy Pandora will—" Before I can finish speaking, Lycoris shoves as an arrow grazes her neck.
"Urgh..." Lycoris tries to get up but stumbles and falls to the ground. She’s gasping, and as I analyze her, I realize it’s poison. Lycoris can regenerate from this on her own, but she needs ti.
’Oh no!!’ I didn’t sense that arrow coming, and if not even Lycoris sensed it approaching, then this person is either very strong or very skilled at stealth.
"You little abominations!! How dare you kill my squad!! I am the elven princess, Elariel Sylmira!!!" I hear soone shouting from atop a tree in an incredibly arrogant manner, and I see a girl.
"?" I look at this elf with blue eyes and silver hair.
"How dare you hurt my sister!" I say, furious with her, even though it’s partly our fault for venturing too deep into the forest.
"You and your sister will die here today! And I will reclaim my family’s honor!! Besides, that abomination you call a mother destroyed my bow!! It was important!!" She says sothing I have no clue about.
’Alright, it’s no big deal. She’s just another enemy...’
"If you don’t take the antidote I have with , your sister will die." She wears a devilish, taunting smile as she says this, shaking a small vial. I look at Lycoris, who has collapsed back onto the ground, gasping and unable to breathe properly.
’No!! Why isn’t she healing?’ I run toward her, but I hear the sound of an arrow and dodge, pulling her out of the way to avoid being hit. I glare at this shitty bitch who poisoned Lycoris.
"You speak of honor, yet you use poison, you wretched little whore." My hatred swells for this stupid, pointy-eared creature who uses such cowardly ans right after boasting about honor.
"Filthy demons and monsters do not deserve the right to an honorable duel." She fires another arrow, again aid at Lycoris.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING , YOU WHORE?" I scream at her, snatching the arrow out of the air. Now she’s crossed every line. We’re at war; it was obvious they’d attack.
But to target my sister when she’s already incapacitated? That’s this bitch’s idea of honor? I feel hatred boiling inside . My teeth grind violently against each other, creating a scraping sound like tal, while my gills flare open aggressively and my tail lashes about.
"Invaders like you have no right to complain." She uses so magic to fire hundreds of arrows, but again, all of them are aid at Lycoris. This makes completely lose my mind.
"Oh, you whore. I wasn’t going to kill you so quickly after this. I had planned to give quick, rciful deaths to all my enemies."
"But now? Now I’m going to beat you until your face is deford. I’m going to destroy your mind and your body completely for daring to touch what’s mine." I lick my lips.
I let my instincts take over. It’s the first ti my monster instincts have crossed certain limits. All my senses beco dangerously sharp, and my sense of sll amplifies to the point where I can scent blood from miles away, confirming that she, too, ca alone.
"Try it, daughter of the Demon King." She continues speaking in that pretentious, superior tone. I charge toward the tree she’s on, but instead of climbing it, I deliver a kick so violent that the tree is uprooted and hurled far away along with the elf.
"La la la, la la lala..." I sing softly, generating a barrier around Lycoris. It will stabilize her body so she doesn’t die imdiately from the poison. Given enough ti, her body will adapt.
’She’ll pay dearly. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her. I’ll crush her.’ I snap my fingers, advancing at full speed to begin this battle.
