I can ignore and grateful about the reward from the achievement.
I can congratulate about Alice leveled up.
But for the quest, I totally can't ignore that.
My lie suddenly turning against me, even though it's just a harmless/white lie to make it easier to explained my situation.
Oh well, to simplify this quest, I just need to become stronger, just like another of my long game.
Then that mean I don't have to worry about it and keep wanting to become stronger, and in this case, keep helping in each future incidents.
As I finished planned for my future, I heard someone beside me calling my name.
”Arah! Wake up! Are you listening-ze?” said that someone.
I turn to look at her direction. ”Sorry, I didn't listen, what did you say?” I ask.
”I said, what are you doing here-ze?” she said.
”Well,” I told her what happen and why I'm here, and minus the white lie I told to Alice before.
Now that she finished listening, she suddenly pounded my shoulder.
”Then welcome to the group, Newbie!” she said cheerfully.
”O-oh…” I reply. 'Please, I don't want to be the target of her energetic action, I can't deal with her. 'I said inwardly.
”Then as a celebration from your senpai, let's do some Danmaku duel-ze!” she said.
”What?!” I surprised with what she said.
”Come on-ze!” she started tugging my Yukata sleeve, but because she's not Reimu and a normal magician girl, she can't drag me away from the couch.
I turn toward Alice for help.
”Teach her a lesson, Arah-kun.” Alice said determinately.
”…So I'm already decided to be fighting Marisa is it?” I said tiredly.
”Come on, as your senpai I'll show you how the real Danmaku battler use their spell card-ze!” Marisa now using both of her hands to drag me out but nonetheless she's just too weak to do it.
I start thinking about this situation.
'If I denied her, then she probably gonna keep bugging me until I accept her challenge, and if I accept her duel, then I probably gonna get blasted by her Master Spark, and this is a Danmaku Duel, I can't cheat by redirecting her shoot. Hmm, the decisions.' I think.
After a few thinking and tugging, I finally make my decision.
”*sigh* Okay then let's do it.” I said.
”Great-daze! I'm gonna wait outside then-ze!” Marisa said excitedly as she walk away to the entrance door.
”…Sorry for the commotion, Alice-san.” I said apologetically.
”Don't worry, Arah-kun. Just focus on beating her down.” she said.
'Oh, wow, it's the first time I hear this kind of Alice.' I think.
I grab a cookie, put in my mouth and then I proceed to the entrance door as I eat it.
I already outside and I already sense Marisa hovering in the air on her broomstick.
”Your slow, newbie-ze!” she said.
”No, you're just the one who's too excited for this.” I reply.
”Whatever, start flying-ze!” she order.
”Based on Spell Card Rule, since you're the one who challenge me, I'm the one who decided the rule right?” I said.
”Of course-daze!” she said.
”Good.” I satisfied.
I sense Alice go out from her house, she probably want to watch the battle.
I make my Quadra-wings and fly higher than the forest tree.
I stop going higher and decided that this height is good enough.
I sense Marisa flying higher to catching up to me.
”What's the rule-ze?” she asked.
”Basic rule, only one spell card.” I said.
”Only one?! Come on, at least making it three-ze!” she pleaded.
”Nah, you challenge me, so I'm the one who making the rule, Marisa.” I said grinning.
”Cheapskate!” she yelled at me.
”No, I only want to get this over with as soon as possible.” I give my reasoning.
As soon as I said that she flies away a few meters from me and then stopped.
'Taking distance is it?' I think.
”Are you ready-ze?!” she asked from the distance.
I sense she already summon her spell card.
I too summon my spell card in return.
'If she do what I think she's gonna do, then this duel gonna be over in a seconds.' I think.
”Love Sign ”Master Spark””
'I FUCKING KNEW IT!' I scream internally.
I immediately dive fast to the ground.
I sense a big beam of energy coming out from Marisa direction.
*Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir* it's the sound of Master Spark flying toward my previous location.
If I dodge upward I absolutely can't dodge it, but because I dodge downward, I barely dodge it because the gravity help me going faster to the ground and my prediction that she will use that spell card help me to avoid it.
'With this, the duel already finished.' I think.
Now that I already dodge her beam, I fly toward Marisa direction, under her giant beam that still pouring out from her Mini-Hakkero.
”Theater Sign ”Duet Dancer””
I grip the light saber that suddenly appeared in my hand.
With obvious energy beam signature that I can sense a mile away, I navigate myself toward it source.
I found her and proceed to fly to her, toward her back.
”This is the end.” I said behind her back.
”W-what?!” she look behind her and yelled in surprised.
I slashed at her.
*Crack*
”Whaaaaaah!” she screamed in pain as her spell card break.
I sense she's falling from her broom but I pull her back up and carry her in princess carry.
”Seriously, this girl.” I said looking at Marisa.
”Ugh…” she groan in pain and probably unconscious at that.
I float down toward Alice's House.
I sense Alice still on the ground.
”Is there a room for this unconscious little girl?” I said with a helpless smile.
”Of course, come in.” she said cheerfully and probably smiling too right now.
And with that said, I enter Alice's House again for the second time today.
Author note:
Heyo, Author here, I still have spare time with my final project, so why don't just make another fanfic again this week.
About Alice, I hope I do Alice right in this chapter, based on the Wiki; Alice is indifferent to other people, and I want to express that personality in this chapter, it's hard man, in my head, Alice is like the nicest girl in the neighborhood and she help anyone that need it.
About human age, I know there's someone in my country that live until he's 145, setting the new record for the longest human to live but I'm talking about the general age human can lives and that's around 100 years old.
So, Uh, Every time I see the review count goes up, I scream ”COME ON, BURN ME!” as I read the review, so….yeah….
