After that particular event that happened a few hours after our take-off, I made a ntal note to not carelessly let my body secrete pheromone. Apparently, the two girls behind and even Genelos also got "distracted" by it when the event unfolded.
Thankfully, though, our shenanigans went unnoticed. Genelos must have so idea about what happened that ti but I am sure the other two girls were clueless about it—that is all that matters.
Thud!
"Ouch! Sorry."
Soone has just bumped into and this is not the first ti. Turning around to look at the person who has just bumped into , I find a silver-haired girl wearing a hood like a mysterious Mage.
Of course, she is none other than my new sidekick, Lunea dis Cresundia. Ever since I gave her the book about Middle-Class Spells, she has been so engrossed in reading it that she doesn't even want to let go of it after we landed on the ground.
That is the reason why she has already bumped into six tis after walking for 300 feet.
"We have arrived at our destination; you better prepare a convincing dialogue rather than reading that book," I say.
"Eh, what if he suddenly assaults ? I need to defend myself too," Lunea replies seriously.
"That won't happen since I will be there to save you," I assure her.
"Really?" she says abashedly.
I think the hardships Lunea has gone through have finally broken her. She always blushes whenever I say sothing even though it is not sothing that will make people blush.
"Kuhum! Very well. I will do my best to convince Sir Mike. Ah, I will still read this book whenever I can though. I an, I will be more helpful the stronger I beco, won't I?"
At least, she is useful; I can turn a blind eye to her weird side. I nod my head and continue walking toward Acadia Village, which is the village where Mike is currently waiting for Lunea's arrival.
The plan is simple. After talking about a couple of mundane things, Lunea will ask Mike to move sowhere else so they can talk about the "matter." The place will be a quiet one that no one will normally visit, away from people's eyes. After that, the massacre begins.
I am fully aware that things won't go as exactly as I planned. Scratch that, even the plan can't even be called one.
The success of the plan will depend on Lunea. I am inclined to believe her eloquence will be enough to convince Mike to co to his execution site. If it doesn't, seduction will do the job. I believe Mike will easily fall into it.
"Oh, this is surprising but not unexpected."
The mont we spot Mike, we find him surrounded by ten Knights, who act as his bodyguards. The number of bodyguards is quite surprising, but I have anticipated sothing like this to happen so I am prepared.
"What to do? He has a lot of Knight surrounding him," Lunea asks in worry.
"Just proceed with the plan. We will hide, but know that we are around so you don't have to worry about anything," I answer.
"Ah, okay." Lunea nods her head and then looks at shyly. "By the way, I haven't known your na yet. What can I call you?"
"You have heard Millonia call my na more than once—you should've known."
"I an, it just doesn't feel right to call soone's na without that person introducing himself to you first."
"Fair enough." I nod my head and extended my hand for a handshake. "My na is Layland."
Lunea takes my hand and shakes it with vigor and a grin on her face. "Nice to et you, Layland. My na is Lunea. You can call Luna if you want."
"Alright, now, off you go."
Lunea lets go of my hand and then walks toward Mike. Just as we are about to hide, though, she abruptly stops in her tracks and turns around to give us a wave, uncaring to the fact that it might make her look suspicious.
I wish I wasn't wearing a mask since taking it off before massaging my forehead out of frustration is a hassle. I can only sigh in slight exasperation at her behavior and shoo her off so she can stop waving her hand like an idiot.
"Teanosvera, it is ti."
"Yes, Master."
When Lunea turns around, I instruct Teanosvera to hide , Millonia and Winerva with his shadow. He flies behind as soon as he reveals himself and then envelopes us with his wings; our vision is montarily filled with darkness before regaining its clarity.
"Can they see or feel us?" I ask.
"Of course, not, Master. My ability has no flow that any Concealnt Spells have," Teanosvera answers confidently.
You may be wondering where we are and the answer is in Lunea's shadow. This is one of Teanosvera's abilities that make many Spirits shun him away—the ability to use Dark Magic.
Dark Magic is a branch of Magic that utilizes unknown and bizarre Elents. Those who can use Dark Magic are born with it, so it can't be learned, which is the reason why many people are afraid of it.
For Necromancy and such—any Magic that requires a sacrifice is categorized as Black Magic. It is usually revolved around the Magic that Demons use and any death-related Magic.
To simplify the explanation, Dark Magic is scary because it is unknown, anwhile, Black Magic is scary because those who practice it are blood-thirsty people. In human society, anyone who practices either of the two will be executed.
"State who you are!"
I am awakened from my thought the mont one of the Knights surrounding Mike stops Lunea. The only thing I can see is her back, but I am sure she isn't fazed in the slightest.
She pulls her hood down instead of imdiately stating her na. "Sir Mike, this is ."
"Princess Lunea!"
"P-Pardon for my insolence, Princess Lunea!"
From the reaction of the people, it seems that none of them knows what is currently happening in Cresundia. With this, I am sure that the traitorous Hero who is controlling Cresundia's Royal Family will play it clean until the end.
"Enough of that," Lunea says as she waves her hand. "As I said a few days ago, I am currently in a very uncomfortable situation. I want to ask for your help, Sir Mike."
I don't know what kind of expression Lunea makes, but it is enough to make my Black Arican "friend" think seriously. He genuinely wants to help—I can see that—and I wonder if having power is the reason why.
To be fair, he was by no ans weak back then on Earth. He was a boxer. He already had a fit build back then. Even so, he didn't do anything but watched as Mark and his cronies beat up. I guess, his "righteousness" will only show up when it pertains to a damsel in distress.
'It was your choice and don't bla you for that, Mike. Of course, that also ans you can't bla for what I will do to you.'
I feel a gaze on , so I turn to my side. I find Millonia staring at as if saying that I shouldn't let the darkness in take over.
I didn't know that I had been grinning; but after seeing her eyes, my grin settles down. I exhale lightly and then refocus my attention on the conversation between Lunea and Mike.
"I am not very comfortable talking about it here. What about moving to a quieter place?" Lunea says coyly. Again, I don't know what kind of expression she makes, but it is enough to make Mike's brown skin turn a shade darker.
Mike motions at the Knights and they imdiately nod their heads with a knowing smile. All of them have perfectly fallen into Lunea's trap; all of them got the wrong idea.
With expectation, the clueless black guy takes Lunea to the quiet place that he knows. I expected him to bring her to his mansion, but he takes her to the forest much to my amusent and glee.
After a few minutes of walking, we can spot a bamboo house right beside a big tree in the forest. There is a bench made of bamboo before it and Mike tells Lunea to sit on it.
He then sits right beside her and looks at her with a small smile. His eyes are saying, 'I know you want to smash. Just say the word.'
"So, tell what is the matter, Princess."
"That is…" Lunea her eyes sideways, making Mike even more confident that what he thinks will happen is going to happen.
I can't help sneering at the look Mike has as I tell Lunea to stand up through a whisper. She does what I told her and I imdiately tell Teanosvera to switch our places.
Mike is probably going to ask what is the matter when Lunea is suddenly replaced by . He is so taken aback that he imdiately takes out his sword and makes a distance.
"Teanosvera, make sure none of the girls can listen to our conversation," I mutter.
'Yes, Master,' Teanosvera replies telepathically.
"Who the fuck are you, Demon?!" Mike shouts as he points his sword at .
Instead of answering him, I take my mask off and sneer at him. "Yo, Mr Bystander. Do you know that bystanders also have their adversities?"
"L-Layland?"
Much to my surprise, he recognizes . Well, that doesn't matter since, from now on, this guy will only scream in pain and bellow rcy.
