129 The wheatstone 2 (1/2)

Laura and Samantha were breathing and panting heavily after their long and exhausting fight against Moirai. They had finally managed to beat their enemy and both of them had a beaming smile on their faces as they began to recuperate.

The badly damaged landscape was a testament to the fierce battle between the 2 parties. Not only had the surrounding trees been toppled or uprooted but also the ground partially frozen. Cracks and furrows could be seen everywhere and some parts were still burning.

Amidst heavy breathing, Laura began to speak to Samantha.

” Who would have thought, that after all of this it would end like that?” her voice sounded ragged but had a playful undertone.

Her eyes flew over the battlefield, lingered for a while on the corpse of their adversary before finally ending up on Samantha.

” The infamous Moirai, the thorn in our eyes had finally fallen. He was brought to justice by the noble Samantha and her pure and untainted charm.” Laura had a wide grin on her face as she began to tease her friend about the way the fight had been won.

After their long adventure had finally come to an ending every feeling of tension dropped and they began to feel elated. Bickering about the situation was natural as they were still enjoying every last bit of it.

But Samantha did not seem to mind her current clothing situation as she even began to move her lasciviously in front of Laura. She replied nonchalantly as if she saw nothing wrong with it.

” I do not see the problem. After all, he is my ”husband” and if someone is allowed to see me like this, who else but him.” The combination of her words and her movements caused a laughing fit on Laura.

No one of them had imagined that disposing of the top part was enough to decide the battle in their favour. The decision to remove said clothing article was not done with this in mind, it rather was born out of their desperate straits as it did not look like they would win the fight.

They had thought, that fighting in this state was a custom, which Moirai strictly followed. They had hoped that the NPC would react to this and treat them differently afterwards. But the dazed gaze and a sudden stop was certainly not the thing they had expected.

” As his wife, I will have to avenge his death. Come and fight me.” She said playfully mimicking the fighting stance of Moirai while throwing some exaggerated punches in the air.

” Look at this body and all of the strength contained in it. Do you think you stand any chance against this body of mine?” Laura could not stop laughing at the display from Samantha. Her performance was strikingly similar to the behaviour of their nemesis.

Samantha even copied some poses Moirai used in their battle, from the menacing glare with the chin pressed downwards or the weird fighting stance while clenching both of her fists. Everything which Moirai did was made fun of. Which caused heartfelt laughter on both sides as they both poked fun at the fallen NPC.

” What a stellar performance, I did not see any difference. It was just like seeing him right in front of me for a second time.” Laura gave Samantha a thumbs up after witnessing her friend given her best impression.

” But he is mine. After all, it was my magic which caused his demise. So it should be more than obvious, that it is my duty to use him to my heart's content. Of course, one my heart and soul are appeased I will let you enjoy him.”

The feeling of shame Laura lived through after her fight against Moirai was still lingering in the depths of her mind and what better method to get rid of those was there, then letting them out on the NPC responsible for her distress?

Afterwards, she would force him to teach him his techniques and copy his abilities before giving the NPC away to her best friend so she can use it in the upcoming tactical battle, something that Laura had next to no interest in.

Something which Samantha had always excelled in. That is why she saw nothing wrong with her taking control over Moirai, in hey eyes both sides did not suffer any loss in this arrangement.

” It was only due to my appeal, you had the chance to hit him. Your magic alone had not even managed to hurt him before he was mesmerized by my brilliant tactic. I do not want him to get wasted under you. I want to understand how he functions and everything about the strange fighting style he uses. Your cheap self-gratification is not worth passing on such a chance.”

” Excuse me, I find it hard to call your lack of clothing a brilliant tactic. isn't it rather wasteful to let this NPC rot away under your care by giving him so simplistic tasks? You should know, that there is not a single other NPC who is as strong as Moirai and you want him to answer your questions? Who would care about what fighting style he uses, when all about him stems from the developers of this simulation?”

Laura replied sternly looking at Samantha vehemently refuting the claims thrown at her. Although this discussion had been held already, it was something entirely else after they were just a short step away from accomplishing their goal.

Samantha was aware that the desire of Laura could be solved by letting her do her bidding with Moirai, but the tournament was of high importance for her household. Once the noble lineage was involved she could not act in her interest anymore but only for what was best for her family

Sadly for her, the choice of letting Moirai get taken away for an unknown period of time was too much of a risk, which made this option impossible. All she could do was make concessions and hope that her friend understands the position she is forced to take in this matter.

The trauma Laura had suffered and the amnesia which kept on eating her from the inside was something she had to be taken care of regardless. All of this had to be done by her own 2 hands and as of now, it was Samantha who stood in her way.

Finding an agreement with both sides can agree on, was easier said than done, as both sides were adamant on achieving their will. It was at this moment a certain someone approached with a smile on his face as well.

” Sorry to interrupt this important discussion but I am certain it can wait for another time. ”

Both of them turned around after hearing a voice they were all too familiar with. Shock and visible confusion appeared on them as they could not fathom why exactly they could hear this NPC talking to them.

Their eyes kept on turning back between the corpse lying in front of them and the newly arrived person, leaving them even more in a mess.

The NPC continued without giving them enough time to catch their breath.
