19 Something To Tell (1/2)
”What is the plan?” She says in a voice cold enough to give me cancer, heart cancer.
”I am assuming you have some kind of special move or hidden ability? Something really special?” I ask as it is something almost every fantasy anime character like her has.
”I do. It's called Frost Requiem.” She has no emotion in her voice anymore, or rather; she chooses to show none of it.
”I see.” I ignore those facts and try to focus on the most important part of the plan, ”How much of an effect would it have on that Demoness?”
”It will kill her if I can strike from behind. If I strike from front though, there's even a possibility that it does no effect at all.” She says as she looks not at me but at the nothingness between us, ”Special abilities are like that for everyone.”
I see. So, that's it. We need to make sure she hits that Demoness from behind. Well I guess, by 'we', I just mean 'me'.
”Okay then.” I say as I stare out the window. ”I'll make sure to give you the chance to hit her from behind. Don't miss it.”
My plan was simply to use whatever special ability she has in the best way possible and hope for that to be enough. What? Did you expect me to be some kind of Ethan Kales who would come up with plans that can take down people stronger than him like it's a piece of cake? Well, I am not. I am an ordinary human being with good looks, the perfect recipe for a weak-ass sucky anime protagonist. That's who I am.
And now that I'm done discussing the plan, there's something else that I need to do.
”Roswaisa!” I call out to her and she, who had also started looking out the windows, looks back at me, with the same cold expression as before. ”I just wanted to clear something up before we leave.”

I stand up and raise my hand enough for my palm to face her just like she has done towards me and say,
”So there's no way I'm going out easy.”
My raised hand, which is my right hand, holds a card. This card may look like an ordinary one, but it's actually Exodia from Yu-Gi-Oh!
Okay, no, it's not. But it's still pretty awesome!
”Now! Sphinx!”
As I shout that out, a mythical creature with the body of a lion, wings of a large bird and the head of a human comes out. This creature was known in Greek Mythology as Sphinx.
Before anyone asks if this can be seen by an ordinary human being? No.
Also before anyone asks if this is just a Yu-Gi-Oh card? No. This is what many might call a Eunion Card, or simply know as Monster Summoning Card.
And before anyone asks if this is just a card version of Pokémon? No. Anyway, it does just as the name suggests, it summons monsters to do the summoner's bidding.
And before anyone asks if this is just a combination of Pokémon games and Yu-Gi-Oh anime? Yes. What about it? There's nothing wrong with that.
”Kill that woman!” I yell my command to the monster I summoned.
”Pfft!” she laughs in a pretty demeaning way. ”You don't really expect a mere monster to defeat me, do you?”
Who wants to defeat you? I am just here to buy time. Did you already forget that? I guess you did since you are trying to ignore us and go in the direction of Irium and Roswaisa. Too bad, someone like this Sphinx is a master at not letting something like that happen.
”What?” She yells in surprise as the Sphinx jumps right at her and even as she tries to get away, it follows her to no end, trying to block her path. ”What the heck is with this thing!?”
”Foolish woman!” I say with a smirk on my face, ”Don't go ignoring a mythical creature! You have absolutely no idea the extent to which that hurts its pride!”

”And what's that?” With a little bit of surprise breaking up her demeanor, her voice still remains as cold as it can be towards me.
