《Regal》 1 The End and the Beginning As I saw the little girl''s panicked face I smiled... then the truck hit me and I lost consciousness. .... Going back a couple of minutes, here I was in a park of all places. "Why did I think it was a good idea to go to this place full of trees and nature and *slap*, freaking bugs" I sigh, thinking of how my PC broke down and from all things to do I decided to go outside. As I reach the end of the path lazily and was about to go home I notice a net cafe across the street and my eyes light up, damn how did I not think of this. Waiting for the light to switch I feel something weird and turn to look to my left only to notice a little girl about 9 years old in the middle of the street looking dazed. My eyes turn into saucers as I notice a truck going straight towards the spot she''s currently standing at "HEY! Watch out!" I yell as I see the truck going top speed towards her. ''Damn, what the f*** is that driver thinking not even slowing down!'' Before I realize my legs already took me only 2 meters from the little girl. Everything slows down as I jump towards her pushing her out of the way ''*sigh* I knew nothing good would come from going outside...'' as I think that my life flashed before my eyes and lo and behold most of it was spent in a chair in front of my PC playing games or reading novels ''what a waste'' even I think that at this moment, ''not that it was all that bad though, at least I had fun... oh and there''s this little girl I saved too. She looks cute when panicking'' I smile and after that everything goes blank ... "Hmm, so you saved a little girl huh?" A beauty says as she flips some pages "MMmm, let me sleep 5 more minutes mom" "..." *glares* "..." *sleeping sounds* *kick* "Ouch! mom what are you ..." I stop as I realize I''m looking at a beauty straight out of my dreams, definitely not my mother ''sorry mom'' "..." intensifies glaring "Oh, this is what they call a lucid dream huh, sure am lucky it''s one with a beauty" starts salivating "You''re not dreaming" "huh?" "You just died moments ago" I blink my eyes while my mind goes blank, after a couple of seconds I look around the room and all I see is white, wait, can this even be called a room? I start recalling everything to the point of the truck hitting me "I hope the girl is safe" I mutter subconsciously "You seem quite calm" She seemed surprised "You think?" "Well, thinking of others in this situation, when you just died and all that..." "Hmm, if I had to say I''m more sad about my PC breaking down though" "...that so?" "Yeah, I mean if I''m here then I will probably get some cheat powers and reincarnate to save some world from a demon lord or something cliche like that, right?" "Nope" "Eh?" It''s my time to be surprised, I mean, no cheat!? "This is just a routine before your soul disappears, something like a last meal I guess" "What am I, a convict on death row!?" "..." "Wait, this might not be as bad as I think, by last meal you wouldn''t mean..." "?" she look confused before noticing the way I look all over her body... and when I start salivating *slap* "How dare you think of something so vulgar!" said the blushing red tomato, I mean goddess "Huh? how did you know, did you read my mind?" "Read your mind my ass! You''re even salivating!" "Oh, my bad, soo... we won''t..." "NO!" "Damn" I look down as I mutter "What was that just now?" "Nothing" I don''t want to get slapped again "Hmph!... Anyway you still look pretty calm even though you know you will disappear soon" "Hmm, well that is only if INST¨ªNCT decides so" I joke The goddess''s eyes go round as she exclaims "How do you know about INST¨ªNCT!?" "... wait what" "What do you mean ''wait what'' YOU literally just named the gods system and now you ask what?!" "No way" my eyes go round "What do you mean ''no way''! Answer me! how do you know about INST¨ªNCT" "Uhm, well I kinda made it, I think" I say, a bit unsure "!?!" the goddess''s eyes go into saucers ... After calming down, the goddess said "What do you mean you created INST¨ªNCT, someone like you... IMPOSSIBLE!" Okay, maybe she didn''t calm down that much... "Hmm, let''s see... I guess let''s do a test for now" I mutter ignoring the blabbering goddess "HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME!" ''Noisy'' I think as I mutter "Amy" The next moment a light shines so bright that I have to close my eyes and when I open them what I see is... "PAPA!" a 11-12 years old little girl with unreal beauty, white hair and white eyes and a white one piece dress jumps on me hugging with all her might while shouting "PAPA! PAPA!" "..." It takes me a moment to take all of this in... first let''s hug her back i guess "Yay, Papa is hugging me!" -Amy "Wha... just WHAT!" -Goddess "Amy, for now let go, ok?" I pat her head as I say "Okay Papa!" ''She let go alright... still sitting on my lap though, she''s also holding the hem of my shirt huh?'' "WHAT! How did you get here!? This is a sealed placed, only the dead about to be sent away and the supervising god is supposed to be here, you... WHO are you?" "I''m Amy!" she says with a huge smile on her face while still sitting on my lap "..." "THAT''S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" -Goddess 2 Explanation "So, you are saying the creator of INST¨ªNCT is YOU?!?" "Yep" "Don''t joke about that!!" "I''m not though?" "..." "Papa, Amy is hungry!" "One sec Amy" you say as you wave your hand and make a cheese cake appear out of thin air, with a plate and even a little spoon! "Yay, cake!" -Amy "...can I ask you something?" the goddess says as she sighs "Sure" "Supposing that you are the CREATOR of INST¨ªNCT, what were you before your life as a human?" "Don''t know" "Excuse me?" "That part of my memory is still sealed you see" "Oh..." "Papa, the cake is delicious!" Amy says with cake crumbs around her mouth "I''m glad, if you want more just say it, ok?" I say as I make a tissue appear and clean her little mouth "I''m good for now papa!" she says smiling "So, now what?" -Goddess "Hmm, about that last meal" I say with a bad smile "YOU!" The goddess screams while taking distance from me and covering her chest with a red face "Haha, just kidding, I mean there is a child here and we can''t show her that right?" I say smiling "Papa, what are you talking about, is it Yummy?" -Amy "Don''t worry about it" I pat Amy''s head and she closes her eyes smiling contentedly "S-so, wh-wh-what if she wasn''t here?" said the blushing goddess "Hehe, if you would present yourself, then of course, I would do my part" "Shameless!" The goddess fidgets around for a while before coughing and regaining her composure "A-Anyway, enough joking around, we need to discuss how to proceed with this" "Indeed, I guess we can just go cliche and have us reincarnated in a sword and magic world and... explore? also make a harem" "... Us?" "Hm? yes, Me, Amy and you" "Why am I included?!" "Well, I did mention making a harem, I need to start somewhere don''t I?" "Don''t you think starting with a goddess is a bit too high?!" "I can change your species and status to human or elf so we''re good there" You give the goddess a thumbs up "Don''t change people species randomly! Also that''s not the problem!" "I see, so you don''t want your species changed, noted" "Mou" The goddess pouts and turns away from you "well, If you really don''t want to accompany us, I guess you can continue here as a messenger goddess for the dead" She twitched "Hmm, well I guess this is goodbye huh" you say as you point a finger creating a warp gate "Bye Beautiful Oneesan!" -Amy "..." As you almost step through the gate... "Wait!" "Yes?" "Y-you said you were going to reincarnate, but you are just teleporting to a different planet" "Hmm, well I am just a soul now, I still need to create a body so it''s pretty much the same thing" "What about Amy?" "She''s fine, she is bound to my soul in spirit form and can manifest physically whenever she wishes" "..." "Anything else?" I ask The goddess murmurs something indecipherable and then says "Let me come with you!" "Hoh, so you want to be part of my harem?" I smile "D-don''t joke around, I am just not sure about you being the CREATOR and so I decided it''s my duty to accompany and monitor you so I can find the truth! that''s all!" And so I transport us to an empty grass plane on a planet named Stela ... "I almost forgot but, who is Amy after all?" "Amy is Papa''s daughter!" "...So you were created by your Papa?" "Yes, Papa made me and gave me life!" "I see... in that regard I guess I''m the same" the goddess mutters "Not quite, your life is your own, I just made the system INST¨ªNCT that governs all, but life was created in the same process you understand outside of INST¨ªNCT''s restrictions, INST¨ªNCT only intervenes in specific matters such as my death, of course the gods are a bit different but apart from the fact that they are bound by the rules of the system, their life, power and fate are their own to rule" "So INST¨ªNCT never intervenes if it isn''t directly linked with you or the gods" "No, it also intervenes in matters such as the fate of others to a certain extent, for example If anything is to be linked to me by fate INST¨ªNCT protects it or her from harm according to some rules depending on the type of fate" "... Isn''t that saying that the moment someone meets you they are bound by those rules?" "Of course not, have you been listening? Only if their fate is interlinked with mine, hmm let''s see, that means that for the example from before if that person in the future would have some kind of deep relationship with me INST¨ªNCT protects that person by changing their future from birth but keeps everything that isn''t considered harm the same including my meeting with them and if that meeting is considered harmful to them it would still keep it all the same because it is already considered that in the future the connection I would share with that person aka our relationship would overcome that. Of course that is only if said "harm" is to be inflicted by me only" "My head hurts" "...You can think of it as an impossible to break shield, even if the gods want to mess with someone I love be it before I meet them or after they would find themselves royally fu**ed, ah but I would mostly do the trashing, hence the name of the system INST¨ªNCT, it''s supposed to look at the big picture as I wish it be and give me hints without actually intervening as long as the bottom line isn''t crossed, well mostly it won''t affect anything though" "Plot Armor" she murmured "What did you say? I couldn''t hear you" "Nothing" 3 Abilities "By the way" "Yes" I say while holding Amy in my arms "I just checked my status, but..." "Oh yeah, I should check as well" "Wait, were you not the one who changed our status?" "No, INST¨ªNCT did, It was by my guidelines, not that I remember though" "Very reassuring" says the goddess while rolling her eyes "Hehe. Anyway, let''s see, let''s see" Name: Parcell Regal Gender: Male Age: 19 Species: High Human MP: 1000/1000 Level 1 Creation Magic Lv.Max, All-Attributes Magic Lv.1, Neutral Magic Lv.1, Magic Control Lv1, Appraisal Lv.1.

"Anyway, why is there ''???'' for your name in the status window?" "...I don''t have one." she says in a low voice "One what?" "A NAME, I DON''T HAVE A NAME OKAY?!" "Oh right, Gods rarely have names don''t they?" "Right, so give me one" "Huh? You want me to give you a name?" "Obviously! Aren''t you the CREATOR, you should name me properly!" "But I didn''t really create you" "I don''t care, now give me a name already!" "Hmm, sure, then you will be... Emilia" "Emilia..." The Goddess mutters "You don''t like it?" "I-i guess it''s A-al-alright, hmph" says Emilia with bright red cheeks "Ah, so it''s a tsundere huh?" "Shut Up!" "Papa, what is a tsundere?" "A tsundere is someone tsun but also dere" "Hmm, so that means that Emilia loves you?" -Amy "Obviously" I smirk "Who loves you! Also I''m not a tsundere! In the first place what is with that explanation!" "Oh, I think I see a slime!" I ignore the goddess "...I give up" Emilia sighs "Papa, What are we going to do with the slime?" "Well, since it''s our first monster encountered how about we capture it?" "Okay!" Amy smiles, already assured of victory How cute, I think as I approach the slime ''Oops'' While I was distracted the slime jumped towards me hmm, first let''s check it''s status ''Appraisal'' I think and the status of the Slime appears in my mind. Name: General Slime Nr.24152 Gender: Female Age: 1 week Species: Normal Slime MP: 1/1 Level 1 Classification: F Skills: Jump, Split. ''Oh, what a shitty name lazy system, can slimes even be female? whatever first I should stop it from moving'' As I think that I catch the slime with one hand or at least I try as I get bumped hard and fall on the ground ''Ouch, my dignity'' "HAHA, HAHAHA, you can''t even beat a slime, oh haha , I''m dying, my sides, my sides haha" said the goddess while rolling on the ground in laughter. "Papa, are you alright?" Amy asks innocently which only makes it worse "... Creation Magic" I mutter and after a weak light I try catching the slimes again, now with practiced moves and a relatively fast speed.

"Tame" As I try a weak white light shines on the slime for a moment and then it stops wriggling in my grasp, Success! "I''ll name you Pochi!" "Eh, you actually succeeded?" -Emilia "Yay, Papa is the strongest!" Amy says while smiling brightly "Hmph, it''s just a slime" -Emilia "Hehe, it is indeed, for now" I say as I smile deviously "What do you mean for now, a slime is a slime and that''s all there is to it" -Emilia "You''ll see, ''Appraisal - Specific''" MP: 334/1000 300MP from the first creation and 300MP from the second, then using Appraisal 6 times (60MP), Appraisal - Specific once (1MP) and tame on a slime (5MP) I get here huh "Amy, I''m kinda low on MP, can you check the surroundings for a town?" "Ok Papa! ''Virtualization'', Papa, there is a town behind that forest 2.45 km from here" says Amy as she points towards a forest "Ohh, Good Job Amy" I pat Amy''s head as she looks happy while I''m thinking about my Mana problem ''I probably have enough for now'' "Btw, how much mana did you use?" "0.00000001 MP" -Amy "...You''re quite good, eh?" "ehehehe" As I see Amy''s happy face, I can''t help but smile, guess I need to try harder huh? "Are we going to the city?" Emilia "Not yet, I still need to conceal our statuses, if someone with high appraisal lvl sees me we''re in trouble not to mention you still don''t have appraisal, hmm, Emilia?" "Yes?" Emilia asks confused "Do you not want to go into the city?" "...No, it''s just that I''m a bit nervous, that''s all" "Don''t worry it''ll be fun, besides I''ll protect you girls" I said flashing a blinding smile "Hmph, I doubt someone who couldn''t even take on a slime can protect us though, more like we might have to get you out of trouble" Emilia smirks "..." You approach Emilia who looks at you with an arrogant look and... you slap her ass. "KYAA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" "Hehe, just seeing if you can protect yourself, but it seems that even a guy that can''t take on a slime can take advantage of you so I''m kinda worried" I smirk "YOU!" Emilia glares at you angrily and humphs turning her head away not looking at you anymore "Papa, why did you slap Emilia''s bottom, is she a bad girl? Does Papa want to slap Amy''s too?" Amy asks innocently You freeze for a second, then start laughing as you pat her head "Hehe, Amy is a good girl" "ehehe" Amy laughs as she closes her eyes and enjoys your care "Why is there such a difference..."

"Hehe, don''t worry little girl, I won''t harm you" You keep a devil''s smile as you approach within arms reach of the little girl As you stretch out your arm towards the girl *BAM* "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING TO THIS LITTLE GIRL, PARCELL!" screams Emilia as she keeps hitting you "Ouch! Ouch! Sorry, I''m sorry OKAY?! I just saw she was a princess and thought she''s loaded so she might lend us some dough for the entrance fee, you don''t want to sleep in the forest right?!" "..." The princess''s mouth goes into an O and she stares at you incredulously "You! How could you borrow money from a little girl! Just a minute ago you were all about protecting children?!" "She''s not even a child you know! She''s already *MMmm*" You realize the princess appeared in front of you blocking your mouth with her hand giving you a death glare that makes you break into a cold sweat and think ''this is the end'' WHAT END, fu** this lolibaba is really daring, I should teach her some manners, after all it is an adult responsibility to teach a child... As you twist logic to your convenience you grab the little girl and hold her up so that her short hands no longer reach your mouth and start extorting her "Listen here lolibaba, I need some cash and you just caused me serious injuries so let''s treat it as medical expenses, k?" "No" Elfina says expressionlessly in a cold voice still being held up by you "...What are you even doing" you hear Emilia sigh in the background and if you would turn around at this moment you could even see her facepalm "Papa, is this how people make money?" Amy asks with a curious expression "...Amy" "Yes, Papa?" "Forget everything you just seen" "Okay!" Amy responds with a smile As you put down the little elf... No, the lolibaba she just keep staring at Amy for some reason, as a wind blows by your side, you turn around to see her holding Amy''s hands exclaiming "Let''s be friends!" in a bright voice totally different form the one she just gave you "Okay!" responds Amy with an even bigger smile It''s your turn to facepalm, ''why did I even try to extort her, I should of just brought Amy out...'' ... 20 Minutes later you get in the city without any problems, well... mostly, Emilia is sulking because I tried to extort a "little girl" and Amy is dragged around by the lolibaba, hmm at least she looks like she''s having fun "...So, have you solved the lodging problem" Emilia interrupts your thoughts "The what?" "...Forget it" "I''m kidding, don''t worry, I have a flawless plan" you smile deviously again BAM "No" -Emilia Damn, not even waiting for me to do anything huh... I hear Emilia sigh, afterwards she says: "We got temporary ID''s and can enter and exit without a fee for today, it''s not even the middle of the day so how about we go to the adventurers guild to register and take a quest to earn some money for lodging and food?" "...Okay" 6 Registering at the Adventurers Guild As we are heading to the adventurers guild the town people eyes seem to be staring at us, specifically at the girls accompanying me, which is normal considering that each one is a beauty, that aside... "So, lolibaba, why are you following us?" "Hmph, I lent you 15 copper coins for the entrance fee, I''m just making sure you won''t escape without paying" "You sure? we will go to a dangerous place soon and you might get hurt" "I can protect myself" "Parcell, we are here" -Emilia "Oh, I wonder what kind of cliche thugs I''m gonna trash in a second" "...Just don''t make a ruckus, ok?" "Yeah, yeah as long as they know what''s good for them and don''t provoke me" As I push the door open the Guild''s loud atmosphere gushes out, the moment we enter more than half the people notices us and as the noises recedes more and more adventurers start looking towards us until the hall turns into silence. As the girls get increasingly indimidated by the silent atmosphere I start walking confidently to the service desk where an elf girl looks at me with surprise and curiosity in her eyes, meanwhile the girls hurry to my side except for the loli baba, who takes her time. "Hey there" I say grinning "H-hello h-how may I he-help you?" asks the elf girl while stuttering "We want to register, me and these 2 girls" After looking suprised for a second, after calming down, she takes a second look at Amy confused and then notices loli baba "Oh, you mean you, the human lady on your right and the elf lady behind you, right? "Nah, me the lady on my right and this little one" You say while patting Amy''s head "Uhm..." she hesitates "Is there a problem?" "No! It''s just that girls so young don''t usually register here, much less with their guardians" the elf girl says, forcing a smile "Oh, just treat this as an exception" You flash a smile "Okay, then each of you please provide your information on this forms here, if you can''t write we will provide staff to write it for you" unfazed by your smile, the elf receptionist presents you with 3 forms A little dissapointed you take a look and see that on the forms there isn''t much to write except Name, Age, Race and one optional Skills column, the rest is the rules that go as follow: 1.The Guild members are not allowed to hurt other Guild members unless for Self-defense. 2.The Guild members can take quests only at their rank or below. 3.The Guild members need to answer the Guild Master''s calls in case of a Monster related city scale emergency. Rank Rules: If a Guild member wants to upgrade their rank, up to rank C can do so by completing the requirements stated by the Guild, alternatively they can take part in a mock battle with a senior Guild member appointed by the Guild for a fixed increase in rank based on your and the senior member''s rank. Should you lose this battle, there will be a penalty of 1 silver coin. "Hmm, quite easy to understand, although it does lack a lot of information about things" You say as you start writing on the form Emilia and Amy also start writing on their own forms. "If you desire more information on certain aspects of the guild, you may ask a staff or purchase a "Beginner Adventurers Guide" book from the Guild that also cointains Guild information basic details about animals, monsters, plants, surrounding terrain and other quest related information" "I see... and how much would a Beginner Adventurers Guide cost?" "That would be 5 silvers" "I see... here''s the forms" you say as you hand in your form at the same time as Emilia and Amy On the forms: Name: Parcell Age: 19 Race: Human Skills: Basic Martial Arts Lv.1, Tamer Lv.1 Name: Emilia Age: 17 Race: Human Skills: Water Magic Lv.1, Magic Control Lv.1 Name: Amy Age: 12 Race: Human Skills: Empty "...I didn''t except the little one to be able to write and have such a beatifull writing form too" *cough* "Oh, Sorry! I was distracted there for a second *cough*" After returning to her professional smile the elf girl continues: "Now that you completed the forms you need to pay the basic 5 copper coins per person and after touching this magic crystal you will get a card that can act as identification and have your status (as written on the form) and rank written on it" "..." "Is there a problem?" "Loli baba" "Hmph" "Little beautiful Elf-sama, may I borrow some cash?" You say flashing a radiant smile "Hmph" As black lines appear on your forehead and you are about to get violent with this loli baba "I can pay for you and also forget about the gate fee if you do me a favor" "...What do you want?" "I''ll tell you after you accept... this isn''t really an appropiate place to talk about it" You take a look around you and after seeing all those adventurers still staring, you say "Sure, but if I reject later you can''t complain" She pouts and answers you "Fine". As she pays the receptionist lady elf she also adds "Here''s 20 copper coins, can I also get a form please?" "Uhm sure, here you go" Name: Elfina Age: 14 Race: Elf Skills Wind Magic Lv.3, Magic Control Lv.1, Knife Mastery Lv.1 "Why didn''t you ask for a form when we were completing ours?" "Because then you would say something like: "she''s the one paying" and run off" "..." You consider her words and find out that there is a real possibility you would do exactly that "Ah, can I also get a Beginner Adventurers Guide?" -Elfina "Of course!" says the elf receptionist with a smile Afterwards Elfina pays 5 silvers and receives the Guide Book "Now that we registered let''s take a quest" -Emilia "Amy wants to go on a quest with Papa!" As you go towards the quest panel the crowd is still staring which you ignore but the girls are getting more and more uncomfortable, after almost reaching the panel there is suddently some movement in the crowd and 4 thug-looking male adventurers block your path "Hey boss, this girls lookin'' hot" Lackey Nr.1 "Yeah boss, we should ''party'' with them" Lackey Nr.2 "And when we get in the woods, you know Boss, hehe" Lackey Nr.3 "HAHA, That''s right boys, Hey ladies, how bout going with us instead of this skimpy little baby-boy that can''t even lift an axe" Thug Boss Your forehead transforms into black line as you say: "Make way, or lose your legs" "..." "HAHAHAHA" All adventurers around start laughing "Hahaha, did you hear that boys? this runt that hasn''t even grown hair says hes gonna break my legs, HAHAHAH, this is the funniest joke I ever heard" Thug Boss As the Thug Boss says that he all of the sudden punches towards you ''Appraisal'' Name: Brett Gender: Male Age: 31 Species: Human MP: 1/1 Level 25 Rank: C Fist-Fighting Lv.4, self-taught Sword Skills Lv.4 Titles: Thug Boss.

After catching the fist the thug boss is shocked and tries to free himself only to struggle futilely. "Hehe, looks like you don''t want your legs anymore, huh?" The thug pales as he throws a kick at you which you dodge quite easily as you cast Wind Magic - Gale secretly, after that you kick his knee as the force bends his right leg backwards with a *kacha* bone-breaking sound followed by a load scream. """BOSS!""" Yell the Lackeys as they lunge at you, but of course they are a lot weaker than their boss and you deal with them quite easily, even though you take a few hits you don''t feel much pain due to your physique. Barely 30 seconds from when the boss thug tried to punch you his entire group lays on the ground groaning in pain. The adventurers around you quiets down and look at you as if you are a monster. You aproach the thug boss and say: "Why are you groaning so loudly, we are only 1/3 of the way done, we still have your left and middle leg to resolve, no?" As the thug boss starts breaking into cold sweat you hear someone shout "STOP!" You turn back to see a big burly guy coming towards you. The thugs start trembling as they noticed the guy and stop groaning trying to take a respectful sitting posture while the adventurers around you all quieten down He stops right in front of you and glares at you asking: "What happened here?" ''Appraisal'' Name: Gerad Takkong Gender: Male Age: 40 Species: Human MP: 300/300 Level 50 Rank: A Takkong Martial Arts Lv.7, Takkong Sword Mastery Lv.8, Magic Control Lv.1, Earth Magic Lv.2, Steel Body Unique Magic Lv.3, Anti-Appraisal Bestowment Lv.4 Titles: Guild Master Takkong Martial Arts Lv.7 Martial Arts of the Takkong Clan Takkong Sword Mastery Lv.8 Sword Arts of the Takkong Clan Steel Body Unique Magic Lv.3 Hardens the body using mana.

Unique Magic that only few have Anti-Appraisal Bestowment Lv.4 Bestowment from the local Light Church''s Leader to block Appraisal below level 4. ''Guild Master, eh?'' You shrug "These thugs tried to attack me, so of course I just defended myself" He looks around in the hall at the adventurers spectating and asks sternly "Is this true?" They all nod like little chicks "What is your name and rank?" The Burly guy asks you "Parcell, F-rank, just registered" "I see... I''m trully sorry about what happened, no worries these guys will recieve penalties on their rank and a harsh beating from me, is this alright with you if we handle it this way?" "Sure, just make sure they don''t come bothering me again, otherwise I won''t be as merciful anymore" "Got it, Brett and co. follow me to the traininig ground, you just got a free lesson with the Guild Master! I''m sure you''re excited" As the Guild Master goes towards the back, the thugs struggle up and follow him, the boss thug limps after them while sending you a death-glare before dissapearing through the back door with the Guild Master.

"Yup" Emilia says ''Well, she is a goddess after all... or at least was'' you think "Yes Papa, I deconstructed and rebuilt it with Virtualisation based on the language structures Papa knew back on Earth" -Amy "That''s amazing Amy" I honestly think that "Why? Do you need us to translate for you?" Emilia smirks "Nah, just got a skill called Multilingualism so I''m fine as long as it''s not too complicated" "...You got a skill just like that?" -Elfina "Well, he is quite broken or rather everything just goes his way doesn''t it..." Emilia sighs "What do you mean?" -Elfina "Papa is the best!" says Amy with a bright smile "Hehe, just ordinary, nothing much" "..." -Emilia "..." -Elfina "*cough* Anyway, how about we take this quest?" you change the topic pointing to a certain quest DRAGON SUBJUGATION REQUEST Description: A dragon has destroyed a village near the border, the dragon movements led the royal court magicians to believe the dragon will be further encroaching inwards towards the capital, hence a Subjugation Request has been posted to all Guild in the country, The Guild asks that all adventurers within capability cooperate.

Reward: The basic reward is 10.000 Gold coins, further rewards will be negotiated with the Guild, the materials can be kept or be sold to the Guild for the market price, a further reward will be given by the country''s Emperor. "Ignorant" Elfina mutters "Impossible" -Emilia "Papa, I think we should choose a different quest" ''EVEN AMY!?'' As you drop your shoulders in defeat you say: "Fine... then you girls choose" "It''s okay Papa! Look, we can take this one!" Amy tries to encourage you as she points at a certain quest SLIME SUBJUGATION REQUEST Description: Slimes numbers have been skyrocketing recently, reasons unknown, although their danger level has not risen, they became Nutrition for stronger monsters making other request slighty more difficult, the problem is still minor but it is believed action must be taken before it becomes serious. Requirements: Rank F Reward: 1 Copper Coin per Slime defeated, 2 Copper Coins per Slime Core. "..." You silently cry at the low evaluation of your daughter "Hahaha, Sli-slime subjugation,haha that really suits you Parcell,a-ah yo-you already have experience AH my sides HAHAHAHA" -Emilia "Pfft" -Elfina With a ''pop'' a vein became visible on your forehead ''Pop'' ''Pop'' ""Kyaa!!"" After another 2 pops the girls jump up in surprise as you spank their asses "Papa, you need to be fair! Amy too!" "..." you pat Amy''s head making her go *purr* and she smiles like an Angel going "ehehe" ''Ah, I''m healed'' "Yo-You!" says a red tomato elf "Parcell! At-at least do it when we''re alone..." Says Emilia loudly gradually going an octave lower until she can''t be heard anymore "What was that, Emilia?" "N-Nothing!" "Well, anyway let''s take this one then" you say while taking a request off the board GOBLIN LAIR EXTERMINATION Description: A small goblin lair has been sighted near the border. Village Chief Bernard of Lernai Village has asked the Guild for help Requirements: C rank Party of at least 3 Reward: 80 Silvers if scattered, 1 Gold Coin if completely destroyed. "That''s an unusually normal choice" -Emilia "Hmph" -Elfina "Papa can definitely do it!" You pat Amy''s head as you say "We will definetly get the big prize, that''s for sure" As a devious smile covers your face, you hear a two sighs behind ''Hmph, you''ll both see'' - A few hours later - You let loose bullets on the goblins scampering in all direction while laughing maniacally "MUHAHAHAHA, eat lead you little green fu*****" "Scary..." -Elfina "Where did he even get that thing, I thought he was out of Mana?" -Emilia "Papa took some MP Potions from Elfina''s bag when no one was looking" "...Seems like he was careless if he was spotted, not that I noticed" "No, Papa was very careful to not be caught, but I could feel his nervousness through our spirit connection and when I went to look..." "...I see" -Emilia "How dare he steal my stuff!" -Elfina "Yeah, Papa should ask nicely! Then Elfina would surely lend some potions!" Amy flashes a smile awfully similar to Parcell''s "...Ye-yeah, I mean who cares about a few potions *cough*" ''Pop'' "I think Parcell and me need to have a talk" Emilia says angrily A shiver goes down your spine as you plow down goblins ''Huh, what was that just now?'' - After exterminating the goblins - "HOW DARE YOU TEACH AMY SUCH THINGS!?" -Emilia "I-I... I have no excuse! Who would have thought Amy would take after my bad behaviour, ARGHH! DAMN IT!! I tainted my pure angel!!" you scream towards the sky "..." -Emilia "..." -Elfina "..." -Amy 8 First Fight, First Death "Thinking about it, I was surprised the receptionist actually allowed us to do this quest considering our ranks" -Emilia "Well, he did defeat that C-rank guy after all, so I guess they let us after seeing some ability" -Elfina "Huh, that generic thug was actually C-rank?" -Emilia (Doesn''t have Appraisal) "Yes, Amy was also surprised after using Appraisal on that thing" -Amy ''Somehow that what''s his face got his evaluation gradually lowered?'' "Hahh, anyway I can''t believe you drank all my MP potions, even though I had enough to fill up my MP twice" "Hehe, I was thirsty" "..." -Elfina "So, that thing you made, the ''gun'' was it called?" -Emilia "Oh, I didn''t really create it, I ''summoned it'' kinda" "You summoned it?" -Emilia "Yep, I made a skill called ''Catalog Summon'' for 300MP and opened ''Catalog Summon - Guns Subcategory Rifles'' for another 300MP, apparently I can only opened some things with my current MP, besides it seems like it''s quite hard to level up a High Human, even though I killed so many pests" "You sure you wanna talk about all that when I''m here?" -Elfina "Ehhh, I guess it''s fine! Besides I saw your status, so this makes us even" "I see..."-Elfina "Anyway, about that gun summon thingy, can you also give them to others?" -Emilia "Uhm, yeah, I think I can? though they are not usable without bullets, do you want one?" "Do you have a smaller one?" -Emilia "Not in this category but if I buy the pistol section which is 50 MP... done! So, what kind would you like?" "I don''t know anything about guns so you choose" -Emilia "Hmm, well a 9mm might be good against humans but fantasy monsters... although its still a pistol and it won''t be able to take on big enemies...Oh it even has this stuff! this one looks good" ''Although the system created the ''Catalog Summon'' skill from my memory so there might be differences to the original'' SYSTEM PROMPT Five-SeveN | Violent Daimyo spawned > Accompanying ammunition has been spawned per specifications, basic magazines x3 (3*20 bullets), two 5.7x28 mm medium ammunition box (1000 bullets) >custom pistol holster spawned (purple) > custom double magazine holster spawned (purple) > END "Here, btw this thing has some power against normal humans and small animals but don''t think of using it on powerful monsters or high ranked humans, okay?"

As you say that you throw the pistol along with all the other stuff in your shadow ''Dark Magic - Shadow'' "...Can I get one too?" -Elfina "...Which kind?"

Nice Amy!" "Yay, I''ve been praised by Papa!" "I want to try too..." -Emilia "After safety course" .... As we chat on the way back to the city something pops out of the bushes "Ha! You fu**** is done!" Thug Boss """Ya, Boss tell ''im!!""" Lackeys "You... what''s your name again? whatever, you came to get the rest of the punishment?"

Extra bullets are in shadow) and say "You should choose your words more carefully" "Yo-you! What did you do!?" "Nothing much, just what I should" "Yo-u, you ARE!..."

Belle stutters with a blush "How exactly will this ''properly'' you speak of work?" -Elfina "You want the details?..." "NO?! I mean, no?" -Elfina *cough* "Anyway, now that you figured it out, let''s go to the city and buy her proper clothes... and some shoes" Emilia says with a slightly blushing face "Shoes? Oh, Diana didn''t have spare shoes? Here, Belle" As I say that I pick up Belle in princess carry "M-M-M-Master!!!" Belle goes tomato mode "Wow, that looks so comfy, Amy wants too!" "Princess carry..." the other 2 girls look somewhat enviously at Belle "I want too..." Emilia mutters inaudibly "Hehe, Amy can go on my shoulders, go on!"

"You said you made Amy, but everyone else other than Amy is different right? Something about random actions and consequences because of instability and chaos from the nothingness of the beginnings and etc..." "Yup" "...Right" "Right" "You also said ''Your life is your own'' to me, but never specified about Amy, is she different in this aspect as well?" "..." "...Well?" "...Amy''s life is not her own and at the same time it is" "What do you mean?" "Well... let''s begin with what you said earlier, ''Your life is your own'' and what I meant" "Okay" "When I said that to you I meant something quite simple actually, what you feel comes from your own perception... You have choices, who to like, who to dislike, what to love, what to hate, you choose based on what you perceive, mostly unconsciously, based on your ''design''... your genes basically, of course how you yourself develop depends on you" "So... you made my ''design''?" "Yes... and no, yes I designed some things...no, I never put them together, that''s a bit generalized but goddesses are a bit special, even compared to generic gods, the ''space'' in which you were all were born is a very, veeeery stable and safe place with a bunch of nothing, all stimulus to ''put together'' the pieces comes from inside, not from outside perception but perception from inside, from those things that are not nothing... my few designs" "..." "Now, here comes the interesting bits, each goddess had her own ''space'' in which they started to exist and grow, of course it was all the very same, btw at this point, time and spatial position weren''t a thing, they didn''t exist basically, so except that you were all in your own ''space'' everything was the same, even your origins were nothing but unblemished ''soul seeds'' deprived of outside influences, and yet..." "Any yet... what?" "Well, you met the other goddesses right?" "Yes?" "Just think, wasn''t there something weird?" "...We are all different" "Very different. In fact so different even I am amazed, a bunch of flavors indeed" "Okay, stop salivating and continue with the story" *cough* "Yes, so where was I? Right, your growth... it was quite lonely actually if you think about it" "...I never thought about that, I guess I didn''t have the need for others yet?" "No, you did, as did the others, its just that you could feel their existence, even now you have the same feeling, its just that being born with it, it was always the norm" "..." "Well, apart from that feeling, you were all alone, same origin, same few designs, same scattered existences, basically same starting point, so... what do you think made you all so different?" "...You made it so?" "Wrong, you all did that on your own" "...It sounds like a lie, I mean we all had the same beginning, same conditions, etc... there was no variable that could change us like that... unless" "Bingo! It was in your design, the same... need for uniqueness, for your own self" "But" "Indeed, being unique is quite vague, especially if you all have the exact same circumstances to try to create your own self without knowing of how the others are" "Its the same if its not there in the first place..." "Again, Wrong! It''s only useless on its own!" "Another design?" "Not quite, this one is... a gift if I may say" "...Isn''t it the same thing?" "No, because this... gift is not anything else other than..." "..." "..." "...Are you waiting for me to ask?" I smile *sigh* "Okay, what is this... gift you speak of?" "The feeling" "Pardon?" "The feeling you feel even now, yet can''t discern, you can feel the others" "...You made it sound quite inconsequential before though?" *cough* "A-anyway, that feeling made you all unique" "But, you said we can only feel each other, can we differentiate with that?" "Well, probably?" "...Probably?" "..." "...Parcell?" *glare* "Well, to be honest... I''m not quite sure... why you all are different..." "...Is this a joke?" "..." "All that build-up?" "..." "All that suspense and vague shit" "..." "ALL FOR A ''PROBABLY'' AND A ''NOT QUITE SURE''!?" "...I mean, how am I to know!? You all just went against any common sense altogether! The other gods are all the same! You might as well call them robots! AND THEY ALL GREW UP TOGETHER! AND WITH A LOT OF EDUCATION AND OUTSIDE STIMULUS! I EVEN MADE THEM SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, COMPETITIONS AND SHIT, YET WHY!?? WHY ARE THEY ALL THE FREAKING SAME!" "...So basically, we were the abandoned children that went against your oh so perfect plans?" Emilia says as she ominously approaches "...Uhm, Emillia... san?" *glare* *step* "Emilia... sama?" *bam* *crack* *giggle* "ARGGH!!" "hehe, its fine ''Papa'', hehe! Its just a tickle, hehe, no need to be so loud, hehe!" "NOOOOooooo..." -Some hours later- I am currently in dogeza, listening to Emilia how I should have been a more caring parent... god... Obviously I am quite bruised up, but it seems they are just flesh wounds... its just that she used some magic so they might stick for a while... as for the crack... let''s not talk about it... "Sigh... I guess you understand now, right?" "Y-YES!!" "Good, now only a few more hours in dogeza and I might forgive you" "...thank you" "Of course, you still need to be punished by all the others" "..." "I am quite interested how your goddesses will react when I show them the recording of this conversation" "...You recorded it?" "...Time Magic" "...Oh" ''This might be the only time I say this but... F*CK MAGIC'' 15 Belles "First Time" "Nooo! Ahn, Master!" -Belle "Keke, stay put my little pet, muhaha, I''m just starting!" -Parcell "...What the heck is that idiot doing?" -Emilia "No!

You''re just transferring some Magic to her, besides... she''s in her Slime form" "Huh? Is it over?" says Belle as she reverts back (with clothes on... Magic) with a sparkling trickle of saliva going down her lips "... A bit more" -Parcell ''Imbue Magic'' "Ahh!" -Belle *sigh* x3 "Why is Belle making those sounds?" -Amy "..." x3 *cough* "Mana transfer stimulates some, uhm, particular... emotions... right..." -Parcell "What kind of emotions?" -Amy "You, why did you even make it like th... nvm, he means feeling... refreshed, like eating ice cream" -Emilia "Ice Cream?" -Amy "You... how can you not know so many things but have that magic knowledge, no it''s his fault again probably..." -Emilia "Ice Cream?"x2 Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Papa is the best!" The spirits look confused and a little sad as they disappear along with the winds and the plate "...Why?" -Emilia "What?" -Parcell "Why is this magic so complex, yet when you fought with the dragon... even when Amy distorted space... and I thought Amy didn''t know about Ice Cream and... *sigh*" Emilia just gives up "Well, I don''t have enough experience yet to cast ''Unnamed Magic'' without chanting, duh!" "...right" -Emilia The other 3 girls have their mouths as an ''O'' and can''t believe what''s happened even though it wasn''t that impressive... or at least that''s what Parcell thinks as he waves his hand in the air and makes 5 more Ice Creams that then fly in front of everyone except Amy who already has one *cough* "Second time is always easier" -Parcell "..." x2 "Ahn, this is so good! Master, to think you would give me such a pleasant ''first experience'' (of eating Ice Cream)" says Belle as she licks her Vanilla Ice Cream "..." x4 16 From the little girls perspective On a seemingly normal morning, where everything seemed ever unchanging and dull, the world came to an end, wait no, I mean something kinda big-ish happened, so it went on the news, ye, that! A trainee reporter was going about his business just finishing his game session and exiting a nondescript internet cafe when all of a sudden he heard someone scream: "HEY, Watch out!", startled he turned around to see... a note-worthy incident to start his career *ahem* I mean a tragedy that must be properly recorded, yes, he needs to collect evidence, that''s all... so he pulled his phone out and started recording ...A bit earlier that day -Little Girl POV- Today is the day a little girl''s world is about to crumble... and then to be rebuilt only to crumble again moments later... As her parents asked her to sit on the couch with serious expressions the girl wondered just what they were going to discuss that required such a serious atmosphere "Father, mother, I still need to finish my homework, what did you want to tell me?" asked the innocent little girl Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Her mother looked at her worriedly and maybe a bit anxiously for a while and then began speaking: "Alice, I need you to listen to us calmly..." Alice tilted her head in a cute way wondering if maybe she did something wrong and that''s why her parents look so much stricter than usual "You see, Alice, we, we are actually, are actually-" her mother choked on words as she was trying to bravely tell her the truth, countless thoughts going around her head about what she was going to say to a mere 9 year old, but this has to be done, after all the people from the adoption service will come by in a few days and she doesn''t want her daughter to be kept in the dark any longer "We aren''t your biological parents, what''s all the fuss, just let her hear it straight" the ''father'' came out with it straight (Author: duuude, not cool yo) "Dear!" The angry ''mother'' gave her husband a death stare pushing him in the the couch with the mere pressure of her gaze "...Eh?" A buzz rang in Alice''s head as she stood there dazed, everything around her including what the sound of her parents voice seemingly fading away ''I''m... adopted?'' Alice, being much smarter than the peers of her age immediately understood the implications, but even so it was a big blow to a 9 year old girl to all of a sudden discover that her ''parents'' aren''t actually her parents ''...I see... it makes sense after all, so that''s why I never felt "that" from them, yeah so it''s alr- its alrig-'' *wuu* tears started gathering at the corner of her eyes as a small whimper escaped her mouth Her parents were frozen still by that image, never before seeing her cry, they started panicking, especially her mother immediately trying to reassure her: "A-Alice, it''s alright baby, momma''s still the same, nothing cha-" As her mother tried to calm her down, Alice took a big sniff and wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve "It''s alright" "Huh?" x2 "Sor-Sorry to bother you for so long and thank you for taking care of me so far" Alice blurted quickly and bowed slightly, proceeding to run through the door and outside while her parents were stunned silly "A-ALICE" cried her mother proceeding to run after her, but when she got out the door, Alice was nowhere to be seen "Dear, call the police, I can''t see her, I''m going after her!" the mother said rushingly "Eh, eh? O-okay" before he could even respond he heard a *whoosh* and his wife disappeared with amazing speed from the entrance-way... he proceeded to call the cops -Back to moments before the "accident"- ''Sigh, I ended up running without thinking, I wonder if they are worried, my par-... right they aren''t actually my parents...'' the girl absentmindedly walked forward without realizing the predicament she just put herself into, a heavy-duty truck was speeding towards her, the truck driver not noticing her because of her small height... At this exact moment, no one except two people realized the predicament she was in, one was her adoptive mother who managed to somehow catch up to her sweating all over and a ''NEET'' who went outside unusually, his computer deciding to break down for some inexplicable reason on this particular day, at that particular moment, planting him right here for some inexplicable reason, giving him a ''hint'' to look towards a particular direction, almost like ''something'' was guiding the whole process ;) "ALIC- HEY, Watch out!" The ''mother'' horrified scream was muffled by a somewhat terrifying yet somewhat gentle roar The ''mother'' stared wide eyed as she saw someone appear out of nowhere with inhuman speed next to her daughter jumping and pushing her out of the way... with a somewhat, uhm, creepy smi- no I mean a very ''heroic''-like smile... yes... heroic... -Alice''s POV- As she was absentmindedly walking and thinking about what she just found out about her parents she was pulled out of her thoughts by a sudden pushing force, yet for some reason ''So gentle'' she thought in that moment, next the roar she just heard registered and she looked towards the figure who just pushed her as if time has just stopped for a moment, she saw... a somewhat... weird smiling oni-san who was... about to be hit by a truck?! ''W-What, wait-!'' as she was about to digest the situation in that weird seemingly stopped in time moment... she felt it, the feeling she always thought as "something missing" when looking at her parents... indeed, she felt ''family, he''s family'' she thought, no, she felt as such ''So he''s my fami- wait! That''s not the time for this, he''s about to be hit by a truck!'' as unbridled panic showed in her eyes as a certain prota- *ahem* individual thought ''So cute, she looks cute when panicking'' and smiled at her... before being sent dozens of meters rolling on the street with his limbs twisted in weird directions and an impressive amount of blood splattering everywhere... 17 Weird Dream The wind rages on a cold night. A soldier is on his knees, bleeding and barely breathing... shivering, not from the cold wind but because of the figure standing on the black shadow-like mountain in front of him. As that figure, no, as ''he'' turns his head towards the last soldier alive he sees his own reflection in his trembling, desperate and horrified eyes. ''Yeah... this is how it should be... I''m nothing but a monster after all...'' he thinks as he seemingly slowly draws in the air with his sword... moments later the head of the nameless soldier flies through the air followed by a gentle wind, his body drops to the ground... dead. The man looks up at the night sky filled with countless stars, he slowly closes his eyes enjoying the cold night wind. From up above an eagle looks down, all it sees for miles are hundreds of mountains of corpses... and in the center of everything a lone figure standing on the tallest mountain, face upwards towards the sky, eyes closed, his head is bleeding and his clothes are tattered, he holds a broken common iron sword in his hand. The next moment the figure opens his eyes sharply towards the eagle, in the eyes of the eagle it is reflected behind the figure a pair of giant, black eyes, like an abyss staring at it, the eagle shrieks and disappears in a blow of blue smoke. ... Thousands of miles away an old mage screams in agony, as the servants come to check they see the old man dead on the ground with bloody holes where his eyes used to be. As the blood slowly runs down on the mage''s face towards the ground a ''plop'' sound is heard followed by shrieks from some maids.

Parcell''s eyes show panic for a sheer moment followed by a cold-ice terrifying glint, without a moment''s hesitation he claws the empty space on his right *Crack* the space creaks and cracks as a pitch black tear in space appears *diiing* only to break like a glass window moments later *Puke* Parcell vomits a inordinate amount of blood that flies on the ground forming a puddle "Papa!/Parcell!/Master!/Swindler!" ''Again, is it just my imagination or do I always hear a bad one mixed in there... must be my imagination'' Parcell thinks as he falls on one knee further vomiting a smaller amount of blood The girls jump to support him from all sides so he doesn''t fall flat "You goddamn IDIOT! BAKA! HOW COULD YOU TRY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" -Emilia ''Hey I thought you were a god-, I mean goddess?'' "Papa" Amy looks worriedly at Parcell "Baka, what did you do?" asks Elfina with gradually reddening watery eyes "Master" Belle also looks at Parcell worriedly but knows he''s not in any fatal danger through their contract ''Ah, shit, they look worried, the red tomato also looks reaaaally pissed besides worried'' "Cough, cough, shit, I guess it really is a tall task to try to connect em just with my currently pitiful amount of magic" "YOU THINK?" -Emilia "Haha...ha... sorry" "sigh, it''s fine as long as you''re fine... how much mp do you have left?" -Emilia "..."

"...then think of something" ''Think, think you idiot, think'' "Uhm, I''m not sure what''s going on, but you need to basically create a portal to your ''home planet'' right?" -Elfina "Yeah" -Parcell "Uhm, what if you try to open a portal to where you got the Ice Cream from and then go from that space?"

''Mhm, I can do it like this! just you wait morally questionable chap- I mean EVIL FORCES, I''ll crush you to bits and pieces!'' 18 Gods InterSpace I "Okay, so knocking on one of my sister''s doors¡­ How do I do that?" -Emilia "Well, first we''ll need to enter the gods plane, or rather the gods interspace¡­ and for that we either need a goddess or an inordinate amount of mana, therefore, Amy''s up!" -Parcell "Yay! Here we g~" -Amy "Wait wait wait, why can''t I do it? I''m a goddess after all?" -Emilia "...About that" -Parcell "...What?"-Emilia "Fallen¡­" -Parcell "I swear¡­ fine, I already got used to your antics, just do whatever you want, mou!" -Emili Parcell approaches Emilia and... "Wh-what do you want?!" ...starts patting her head "///" and thereafter he successfully ripened a perfectly red tomato prompting Parcell to show a wide, smug, shit-eating grin *insert a very cute sfx for cheek puffing* "Amy wants too! Papa!" "There, there, papa has two hands you know?" *grin grin* "...Didn''t we have an emergency situation underway?" -Elfina "Oh right! It''s fine, the feeling got better, means it''s not urgent with the current circumstances" -Parcell "///" "Amy is ready!" "Okay, Amy! Activate all on-board weaponry!" "Aye aye Captain! On-board weaponry on full power!" Amy salutes (Captain, it''s no good, Battleship "Amy" deployed galaxy class weaponry! Abandon ship! Abandon ship!) ''Guh, that''s just too cute dammit'' "F-Full power ahead!" -Parcell "Aye! Commencing procedures to achieve full thrust!" Next, Amy raises her hand towards the empty space in front, as she closes her eyes in concentration the air around starts to tremble and magical particles in the air get repeled far away creating a void like space, magic-wise at least, as the space properties around them get modified more and more the trembling space settles down followed by a somewhat eerie silence. *buzz* About 10 seconds later an extremely small crack appears in space about 1.5 meters above ground and proceeds to expand from the center into a rupture about 3 meters in height and 1 meter in width allowing one person to pass at a time with some leeway "Well, let''s go, shall we?" Parcell says taking the lead into the space rupture "Ah, wait for us!" -Elfina "Belle''s coming, Master!" "Amy" -Emilia "Yes?" Amy tilts her head looking at Emilia in an excessively cute questioning posture "...He seems angry" -Emilia "...Uhm, so it seems" a somewhat uncertain serious expression clouded Amy''s face as she looked towards the portal "...Let''s just act as breaks when the time comes, sigh" "..." "Amy?" "Emilia-san, if Papa is truly enraged, I''m afraid not even I can stop him, but it''s alright, Papa made it virtually impossible for those scenarios in which he would be truly angry to occur, after all, Papa won''t really get angry for just any reason" "But he took out the trash really fast with his Beretta before" "Well, that''s because it was just trash after all, inconsequential in nature" "Mhm, I guess you''re right, dregs are dregs after all" "Yep! So it''s fine" A wide smile appeared on Amy''s face that looked¡­ cute yet menacing at the same time "Maa, we still shouldn''t let him loose too much, or he''ll get cocky after all" "Hehe, don''t worry oneesan, Papa loves you very much, even if he always teases you!" "/// T-That''s not what I meant" "Let''s go oneesan, Papa''s waiting!" "W-Wait give me a momen-kyaa" being pushed from behind by Amy surprised Emilia intro a very cute scream and just as it so happened, Parcell was actually getting a bit impatient so he was on his way back to the portal just as Emilia happened to come out ending in what you may very-well describe as a red boiled octopus getting tangled on the ground with a dried fish, a happy dried fish mind you "Hey there, boiled octopus" "I don''t want to hear that from you, dried fish!" "...Can you guys stop flirting already, we got stuff to do, remember?" -Elfina Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "Mou, I''m so jelly! Master, no fair!" And then there was a very cute little mischievous imp exiting the portal that got a quite discreet thumbs up from a certain someone "Yoshii! Let''s get going then my minions, after your lord!¡­ or so I would like to say but like, where the heck even are we?!" As the lord and the minions *chough*, Parcell and the girls looked around what they saw left them all speechless, what they saw was actually! A GOD DAMN CLIFFHANGER! No I mean a cliff edge, ye that, what? you thought I was going to leave you hanging? Nah, I would neeeveeeer do thaaaat¡­ Then, till next time folks! ;)
