97 The mistakes of youth? (1/2)
GYAAA! How can this be!? This stupid job! I was charged with creating peace! Why is my party preparing for the final battle of this war!? NYAAA!
Ok! Think about it! When I visited this world for the first time I started to gather information. There is a big continent which is formed like an hourglass lying on its side.
The west is controlled by the darkness faction. The east is under the supervision of the light faction. Both of them are stuck in an endless war because of their ideologies. But nobody could get the upper hand till now because the narrow land bridge is a perfect geological barrier between them.
Even if one side is momentarily weakened, it's very easy to defend because the land bridge is rife with fortresses.
The light faction is made up of humans, elves, fairies and dwarves. The darkness faction consists mostly of beastmen, demons, orks and goblins. Though the last two aren't as bad as I know them from my world. They have a highly evolved society and cities of their own.
First I tried to interfere just with small actions. But somehow everything I did went wrong. I found a super strong trainer for the hero and ~convinced~ him to train the hero.
Then I organized a really strong weapon for him and had him learn about ethics from a peaceful monk.
Afterwards I had him gather a group of really strong allies.
But the moment my hero started to fight in the war, an equally strong character named -the demon king- appeared on the darkness faction's side.
From there, everything went out of control. Originally I wanted the light faction to win and create peace. But now it got bloodier than ever because they didn't manage to defeat the darkness faction.
Then I decided to take action personally! I disguised myself as a wandering spellweaver and joined the hero-party.
From then on I tried to influence them into starting peace negotiations. But nothing worked! Nyaaa! How can anyone be so stupid!
And on top the hero is a really nice guy! Friendly, righteous, noble and smart! For short, he is the perfect gentleman who would never misbehave.
So why are we now standing in row with the light faction's army to crush the darkness faction once and for all!? Why is the darkness faction's army lined up in neat rows before us!
”You look really disturbed, Sharid. Don't worry! We will win this and create ever lasting peace!” The hero calms me from the side. ”And... And afterwards, I have to tell you something.”
How little does he know.... just do this right and negotiate a peace treaty!
At least there will be one last negotiation attempt before the fighting starts! I will use that moment to reveal myself. Then I will force them to sign a peace treaty!
And if they decide to fight anyway.... I will ~crush~ them!
”Don't worry Royce! I will do ~fine~.” The hero smiles at me and starts to march with a group of representatives onto the open area between the two armies. There are about ten of us.
The other side is sending their own delegation. A group of demons and beastmen comes into our direction.
The group is led by the demon king. We already know him from previous battles. A big vile looking red demon is following him! He is towering above all the others.
As our groups reach a distance of about five meters, the demon king starts to talk. ”Surrender! If you don't, my army will crush you! The great demon god Bobo is on our side!”
”You have to surrender! The goddess of light will not bow to misguided creations like you!” Royce follows in the demon king's footsteps.
”No you will disarm right this second!” ”Why should we?” ”You...” ”No! You...”
Noo! You have to be peaceful! Like you would treat humans! They continue to talk past each other! Why? I tried with all my might to give you a proper world-view Royce!
That's when my eyes fall onto the big red monster. It has an unusual aura! So strong! I am not that good at reading auras yet. But isn't he a god!?
So that's why all my attempts to tip the balance of power failed! ~NYAAA!~ I could have thought about that sooner! The other side has the assistance of a god too!
That's when our eyes meet and the demon looks down to the ground. What's that? Is he embarrassed?
”That's it! Bobo! Smite those heretics! There is no other way to deal with them!” The demon king urges the big red demon forward and the people in our group take a step backwards.
They feel that the big red one is dangerous. Eh!? Why am I suddenly in the front? Even Royce took a step backwards. Stupid coward!
The big red monster comes forward and stands in front of me. Uwah! So big! I will never beat this guy! I am not experienced in fighting gods! Ah! But isn't there a rule to not fight with other gods? So I am safe! ~Lucky!~
Suddenly the red monster falls onto one knee. It's still almost at the height of my eyes! Then he takes my hand. Huh? Isn't this a strange pose? What are you thinking!
”My goddess! I was struck by your beauty from the first moment I laid my eyes on you! Would you give this unworthy one the honour of a date?”
”Haaah?” The creature spoke with a really gentle and educated voice! This didn't match at all! You need a brutal and rough voice for a body like that!
”Just one date would be enough! I would give you anything! You are the only one for me. I felt it down to my bones when I saw you. You, or nobody else in the multiverse!”
A confession! By such a thing? Kuh! I could spew blood! Did my abilities go out of control? No I don't think so. Ehm. Let's think. I have to be diplomatic!
”Ah! I am ~sorry~ Bobo. But I think that we don't really match. Of course we could have a little talk to learn about each other. You shouldn't put your hopes up too high though....”
”Oh! Of course! Where are my manners! To confess my feelings while being in disguise! That was just rude. I am sorry!”
*Poof!*
With a small cloud of smoke the red monster suddenly became a really handsome guy! He looks familiar. Somehow he is similar to the statue on my mothers house. Uwaah! If it weren't for the horns and those menacing eyes! But he has black hair and a neat face! ~He is totally my type!~I think I can overlook the horns and the eyes.
”Please! Go on a date with me!”
”But I have to bring my job here to a peaceful conclusion.....” That's right! I signed that contract.
”No problem! I will wipe this world clean of those fools and then we can talk! I shouldn't take more than a few seconds!”
”Take your hands off of Sharid! You monster!” -Hero
”Bobo! Don't get bewitched by that vixen!” -Demon King
I almost see a vein popping on Bobo's forehead while he keeps a perfect smile towards me. He doesn't even look at them and flicks his finger into their general direction.
*WOOOOOOOOSH*
A shock-wave blows Demon King and Hero away while throwing the soldiers of both armies to the ground. At the same time a barrier appeared around me and protected me from being affected. Was it raised by Bobo? You are overdoing it!
The representatives were somehow able to take cover behind some small rocks. By now they are taking frightened looks at us.
Then Bobo turns towards the representatives.
”You heard the goddess! Sign a peace treaty right this second and honour it! Or I will clean this world of you ~filth~.”
