22 CHAPTER 22: THAT PLUSHIE DOLL (2/2)

Suddenly, Mai went close at him at a speed of light and she pointed her crossbow at the head of the pitiful ringmaster. She was ready to pull the trigger ending the ringmaster's vile ways. Her eyes were cold and terrifying to the ringmaster and she says filled with terror,

”Any last words...”.

The ringmaster brought out his last words,

”Tsk...”

”I DON'T WANT TO DIE—”.

Soon, Mai pulled the death trigger and a silent silver arrow impaled the poor ringmaster's head, muting down his life of wretched slavery on children alike. The corpse fell on the ground with a clean hole in its head and a blood puddle emerged below its head. She sheathed her crossbow on her back. Zeran transferred his claw in his dimension inventory and stretched out his arms to freshen up. He noticed that he had some minor cuts and wounds, but he didn't mind it that much. A little while later, Mai's grudge-filled face was gone and she showed her angelic goddess-like smile to the kids. The kids frozen faces melted and their faces were filled with gratefulness. All of the children hugged Mai and crying tears of joy were their only expression, since their life of misery came to an end. Mai told Zeran that there's an artifact of the dark Goddess Ruhime around the area. He looked around, searched far and wide yet, to no avail there were none that seemed like an artifact of such a relic. Mai was patting the heads of the crying children. Though, she was getting pissed-off again for Zeran's stupid attempt of not finding the artifact, so she told Zeran that the female kid hugging the plushie doll in which it almost looked-like him but, with cute buttons in its eyes instead. Zeran had second thoughts if he should just take it away from the crying girl. So he consulted with Mai yet, Mai's enraged self can't hold itself any longer for his pathetic attempt. Thereon, she speaks out loud calling unto someone,

”Ru...I know you're there...”

”So come on out!”.

That sudden moment, There were purple glistening butterflies shrouding and flutterring around at the center. The kids were seeing a magnificent scene of dancing lights and floating gemstones. Soon upon, Ru emerged in a dazzling fashion from the butterflies. She was floating and her hair was flowing in starlight. The kids were awestrucked by the very Goddess that appeared before them. Zeran was also surprised with immense shock but, he felt a sudden impulse in his heart as he was mesmerized by the beauty of Ru. There were unusual sensations that he felt. His face blushed unknowingly and he saw an ever beautiful maiden has descended before him, more than the others saw. There were butterflies in his stomach blended with a mix of sweet happiness. His smile was very pleasing to see as he set his eyes unto the dark Goddess Ruhime. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her glamorous appearance went down the drain as she tells with a cute irritated look to Mai,

”Really Mai...I was trying to surprise Zera here but, you ruined it...”.

The radiant purple butterflies had dispersed after. Zeran's mesmerized look on Ru had snapped out. Moreover, he had stopped fantasizing about her and instead he was shocked in his thoughts,

(”Eh?!”)

(”Ru followed us?!”).

Mai didn't care about Ru's unusual way of surprising Zeran so she blurts out straight like an irritated friend to Ru,

”Shut up...you want your artifact right?”.

Ru responds,

”Well yeah...”.

Afterwards, Ru went to the little girl hugging the Zeran plush doll. Ru wore a very sinister smile on her face. The little girl felt kinda frozen and terrified as she saw Ru's menacing presence. Zeran's eyes looked as if he was expecting that the dark Goddess Ruhime will scare and torment the lights of the poor girl to get the plush doll back, in which it wasn't noble for a hero of high-esteem to think like that. Soon enough, Ru leaned near to the little girl. Then, Ru said in a very playful manner,

”Say...do you like your doll?”.

In response, the little girl nodded with a happiness filled expression. As Ru saw the smiling little girl, Ru had stopped leaning. She changed her look to a sorrowful one and told the girl that the plush doll she was hugging belonged to someone else, as it was very important to her too. The little girl looked very down feeling a sense of guilt. Ru and the little girl were looking so very sorrowful yet, none of them want to give-in. There was a sudden silence between the two. Zeran looked sad aswell feeling the tension and pity for the two. Though, Ru hatched an idea and proved a confident optimistic look upon her dazzling face suddenly. Soon, she held-out her hands such as she was forming some kind of material in-between the gap of her slim hands. A radiant violet glowing sphere of compressed energy floating in-between her hands emerged. A little while later, the bright light dispersed and another copy of a Zeran plush doll came out. The little girl look amazed with Ru's sudden simple performance. Ru tried to offer the plush doll to the little girl but, she had second thoughts and said filled with uncertainty,

”Hmmm...I know it's not the same doll as yours but...this doesn't belong to anyone yet...So—”.

Though, the little girl was smiling and she was offering out her Zeran plush doll, as if she was agreeing to exchange with the Ru's newer Zeran plush doll. Even though, the little girl doesn't know that in front of her was the dark Goddess Ruhime in the flesh. Ru let out a grateful smile. Soon, the two of them exchanged Zeran plush dolls. The girl was filled with happiness again and hugged her newer plush doll to her heart's content. Ru felt glad and hugged her retrieved doll although, it didn't look that much heartwarming, yet instead it was very lewd to see since the Zeran plush doll was being sandwiched by her squishy melons of her feminine chest. If it were a voodoo doll of Zeran, he would feel the utter sensation of being suffocated by her breasts directly, a mix of heavenly sensation and locking death. As for Zeran, he wasn't suffocated from her breasts, instead he was somehow surprised and dumbstrucked on what Ru had done since, the outcome was very different from what he expected, turning him to be shocked in his thoughts,

(”...I just can't believe my eyes...”)

(”Is this really the dark Goddess Ruhime?!”).

Ru turned to face at Mai, while the Zeran plush doll was on Ru's arms, feeling the sudden press and touch of her melons above its head. Thereon, Ru called unto Mai and asks,

”Say Mai...how long are your kingdom's knights will come with these children's parents?”.

Mai replies back,

”It won't be long...soon—”.

Suddenly, she took a sudden stop as she noticed that Zeran coughed out a gush of deep red blood. Her eyes were filled with immense shock as she saw him. Not only Zeran coughed out blood, he was feeling dizzy and numbed of his senses. Thereon, he tries to recall inside his thoughts on why that happened to him,

(”D*mn...I forgot...I got cut by those Naginatas...”)

(”I can't believe they're poisoned!”)

(”I was so strong and wise before...”)

(”How did I become so weak and foolish...”).

Afterwards, he fell down on the ground unconscious and saw the two Goddesses with deep concerned looks near in front of him. Though, Ru's face was more expressive and she was feeling like her heart had been broken into tiny fragments, as she saw her hero flashing out his lights. Her chest felt heavy with grave tension. Her body was feeling nervous and thorns of pain were wreathed around her. Though, she still tried to call unto Zeran yet, her tears were leaking out endlessly,

”Please don't die Zera...”.

Suddenly, Mai hatched an idea in a crucial situation and suggested to the pleading Ru,

”Ru...let's bring him to THAT PLACE fast!”.
