Voluue (1/2)

And who could blame them? The research institute that was the town’s pride had exploded into fire and rubble, and when they went to douse the flae

Undead, that is, a type ofcreature, were quite an unknown to the gathering onlookers, which escalated their panic

Then again, the loud explosion did rousewith the clergyic, the resident adventurers and guards also aided in swiftly bringing the situation under control To that end, the total souls lost that night turned out to be surprisingly low despite the severity of the disaster

Relatively speaking, other than the ic tool research institute, Ele at all But it would’ve been quite a different story had many people died

Once the chaos had settled down, those in charge of El to knohy they’d been absent all throughout the turmoil But of course, the lord and his wife hadn’t returned frohter, Yu lord in her father’s place, but when they checked her private mansion, neither she nor any of her servants could be found The residence had been left completely and utterly vacant

El reports to the capital and requesting aid, to treating the wounded, purifying the blighted ruins of the institute, every able body was kept busy

Some days after,

The fact that the explosion occurred at the very institute that Yue of

The fact that swarms of undead had crawled out froovernor, Yumis, had disappeared and was nowhere to be found

Those 3 facts had been circulated to practically all the townsfolk

The story went as such: Our acting lord Yual huered God, and so the Lord sent down judg loose all the victi to all The reason why Yumis had disappeared with all her servants was because she’d used even the died in the initial explosion

There were other theories, such as Yuic Tools going berserk, et cetera Ru about everywhere

☆

I’d gone and spread a wide range of rumors here and there and once I’d coht ear of a whole sasbord of new ones

Nope, can’t beat the huh over the one where ‘Yuer who killed the original one’

And after doing a once over on the town that was still out of sorts, we decided to leave for good

We spent the next 4 days over at Shuria’s old village

The teleportation spell could only last so long, it had stopped when no more mana was left over so technically, we hadn’t teleported all the undead here

I figured we could let them fester here and eventually make their way to Elmia on their own, but this was still Shuria’s birthplace We couldn’t just leave it like this

The three of us spent a few days getting rid of all the undead, and currently, ere standing right at the center of the long ruined village

“It’s so strange 3 years was all it took to ruin it so badly…”

Shuria’s village had been assaulted ed and devastated the place so thoroughly that it was hard to believe what laid before us used to be an ordinary, peaceful village

It actually looked just like how I remembered it from my first run, when I had come here years later from now

No, maybe it orse now, since by a few years, the deathly ative mana from undead really speeds up deterioration after all”

“So then, eventually, this grave one too, won’t it?”

Here at the center of the once village, we’d erected a single grave marker nobody was actually buried underneath and purple flowers had bloomed sparsely around the rohen she once lived here

Shuria herself was crouching down in front of the grave marker, and looked back and up towards me as she replied

“Well, it should be fine There aren’t any more undead here so the bad mana should disappear a lot faster”

“I see, thank you”

She replied, currently dressed in a sort of short kimono The outfit had a classy flower pattern, with colors ranging fro her natural charuess we’d call it a miniskirt furisode, since the kimono had those extended sleeves

She’d also done up her hair into a side ponytail, holding it with a flower shaped hair pin

We’d taken the liberty to pillage this stuff from Yumis’ place, and the clothes had a mana activated barrier enchantment on them

They also had Easy Removal, Autonition (Huuise Shuria as a typical looking huirl, even from people who knew her and her old appearance

It essentially worked like Minnalis’ illusion spell

The Elic tool to sneak into beastkin or demihuman territory unnoticed

The japanese fashi+on did stick out, but it was a lot better than sticking out as a dark skinned elf, so we ended up taking this Shuria wasn’t going to be facing much in terets close, the kimono boasted more defense than even plate ear Good thing Yumis’ faood stuff just gathering dust

The equipment from the old man from the weapons shop wasn’t bad per se, but the quality was clearly better in a fief lord’s stash

But then… Out of all the pieces of equipment available to her, Minnalis went and chose this frilly <u>maid uniform</u>

Her rabbit ears poked out froh ponytail

The whole thing was fluffed out and frilly, while the chest area was made to accentuate size and also focus the attention towards the cleavage

I ner for this outfit did an excellent job balancing both the ie of cleanliness, and the erotic appeal of a maid uniform that drives men’s hearts wild

And of course it wasn’t si An appraisal revealed Increased Defense, Increased Agility, Extra Mana, Augmented Perception, Flexible Garbs, Transfor unable to refuse another flashy outfit But why all this for a maid uniform? Who knows

This one also had better defense than your average plate ar that was better either, so in the end, I reluctantly accepted letting her have it

Both Shuria’s and Minnalis’ new clothing turned out pretty strange in a fantasy meta sense Like bikini armors, one of the so called 7 wonders of fantasy, they exist, so there was no helping it

And yeah, I’d seen lots of woot used to them even But how they were soet

As for myself, I picked out a new set of leather arrade stuff, but I was okay with this I didn’t rely on armor much anyway

Plus, the rest of the hly ornaht was one thing, but I flatly refuse to use anything that ht deter my movement

“Ok then, shall we set off?”

“Yes, let’s I’ my respects”

Shuria nodded with her reply to Minnalis after quietly standing up fro, Minnalis?”

“No, it’s just, I know thisthis place soe, you see… I was just thinking hoanted to turn that place, still infested alking garbage, into a much worse hell than here It, well, how should I say this, really fires me up”

She had on a face that expressed equal parts apology for the offense and joy in vengeful fantasy

The corners of her lips had raised a pinch, giving her expression that slight tinge of darkness

“Fufufu, I don’t mind at all What I treasure is this place and the people who once lived here, only those I know you don’t mean to see the people important to me in the same way as the filth you mentioned,”

So Minnalis-san, Shuria continued

“I’ht to see And of course, you can fully count onin that seductively deadly smile of hers

Ahh, such a beautiful, reliable pair of acco behind now”

I’ve killed Yue I yearned for all this time, it eet, just so sweet
