Chapter 7 : Yuri-chan strikes back!

"I already said I'm sorry !"

Shouted Nagito, avoiding yet another jet of cold water .

Sorry isn't near enough to get me to forgive him for what he did !

Everything started well !

Well, except that I should have used a gold ring, not a silver one, and because of that, my soul was ejected from my body, through the bowl's water into the water realm !

But it was okay, those guys were pretty cool, water and all, so after explaining my situation, they agreed with me that we should be sent back home, and we were speaking of the possible ways to do it .

And then that stupid catboy ruined it all ! My soul was ejected from the water realm into the shadow realm ! How dumb is that !

Those bastards laughed at my predicament and tried to eat me !

So I did the sensible thing and plunged my knife in the bastard's eye. That killed him dead.

Then weird things I don't remember happened and my soul ended up stuck in my ring.

I became a freaking living lich and it's all Nagito's fault !

" Let's see how sorry you are when I rip out your soul and stuff in in your shoe !"

Incidentally, the water guys were the ones that linked my soul to my body, because I revealed a hole in their security, they said. So now I have to go back to being human.

You hear me ?

I have to go on a freaking quest !

You stupid caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat !

"You better take responsibility for what you did ,you idiot !"

No.

Nope.

I did not just accidentally propose .

No no no no no lalilala...

We both stopped, and he looked at me , mildly horrified.

"You're not thinking straight"

Y-Youuuu !

" Sh-shut up ! I'm still under the shock ! Who'd want to marry you anyways ?!"

He nodded to himself and forcibly pulled me to the mossy ground.

"That's it, no getting up until you're back to normal. Don't give me those eyes, you're as impressive as an angry kitten."

"Hee hee, that's coming from the expert ~"

That might be what the water spirits talked about mental strain ?

He started to get up.

Ha ha, no.

I immediately caught him, securing one of his legs between mine and my arms around his torso.

"I won't let you run away from meeeee ~"

That might have gotten out wrong, but who cares. Everything's his fault anyways.

Hyaaa, warm, feels nice...

...

Back at the castle !

...

It was preposterous.

Kyrille-san explained the ritual to us.

"All eight of us had eight requirements to summon our heroes, all requiring the seven heavenly virtues, plus loyalty... after that, each of us had our own personal requirements, so I won't go any further..."

She blushed slightly, sneaking a glance at me.

Geeez, if you're looking at me like that, I can't say no, yanno ?

" Of all of you, Yuri-san was the only one who had all of them, since she woke up first. That is probably why she was targeted by Them, since she wasn't under much surveillance back then. She was to be my student, if only I had noticed the signs earlier... -hic-"

She started sobbing and my friends went by her side, comforting her. When I spoke to them, they told me that Freyj-Yuri-san was a very nice and loving girl, but very lonely. Apparently, the screw up that caused us to be summoned here sent her mind back to childhood.

Probably another reason why she was targeted.

Yuri-san.. If I only ...

I promise I will save you!

As she walked towards the door, we accompanied her and she stumbled. I caught her of course and...

Uooh !

H-Her breasts against my torso !

"Ara, I'm so sorry, Hero-kun... I don't think I can walk by myself anymore, If you could be so kind to accompany me to the throne room to see the king? That goes for everyone here?"

"Er... Yeah, I guess ? Ain't got nothing better to do..."

Odin shrugged. She's pretty enough, but that's ruined by her attitude. Seriously, she should act cuter.

I can't believe Yuri-san and her are friends.

Ah, those cold eyes again.

I put myself between Kirylle-san and her. I don't know what Odin has against her, but to glare so much at this poor woman is too much!

She looked at me and snorted in disdain.

"That's because of guys like you she can never catch a break."

"What did you say ?!"

"Nothing, you wouldn't get it anyways. So , which way to the throne room ? Gotta get siscon-sama."

Ah, him.

Well, if she had to deal with him, I can get why she's pretty annoyed.

"This way, first door to the left, then third door on the right."

She walked away waving.

"M'kay, thanks"

Is she really going to be okay with that attitude ?

Several hours later, no sign of the two of them. Until The king found a notice stuck behind his throne.

"Siscon-sama and I are off to the demon king's, see ya losers!"

And just like that, our group of eight shrunk back to four.

....

Hmph, So she chose Nagito ? It makes sense, I suppose, they do share circumstances.

Ah, but that doesn't mean a man can't dream, even if that promise is long rotten and forgotten.

"Wh-What-grk"

"Sleep, for you are an obstacle in the great me's plans!"

I am not heartless enough to kill a guard like that, but that doesn't mean I can't ... delay his message.

That Yuri-chan and Nagito-otouto are currently somewhere in Occidens.

She's going to become my sister after all, and a big brother always looks after his siblings.

Ah, here, a conveniently placed barrel.

In the water you go, mister guard, please take your time to come back.

Now that's taken care of, back to the castle.

Ah, familiar faces !

"Oh ? Thor and Odin, My colleagues in sky ruling ! What would you be doing on this glorious day?"

Odin smirked at me in a most feline way while dragging the disgruntled boy with her.

"We're going to see the demon king ! Apparently, they summoned someone from home, so we're going to ask if he can sent us back."

"A Most solid plan indeed ! But what if he doesn't want to ?"

"Nyahaha, I haven't thought of that yet, I'll think of it on the fly."

...

"The great me can now see how my most beautiful goddess and you are friend."

"Aiyaaa, I think I've been just insulted ~"

"Humph, perhaps. Should you still want to leave, the guards at the docks are either distracted or ... indisposed. Courtesy of the great me."

"Oooh, the great Zeus is indeed a most benevolent god~"

Humph, it will take more than that to insult me !

"Indeed, feel free to worship the great me in your free time. Now, I have to allow those filthy impostors to admire my greatness! It would be strange if the sky disappeared all of a sudden."

Her expression softened for a moment.

Indeed, be most grateful for my sacrifice !

"I shall shine my brightest to blind them and light up your way, but even though I killed him once, Cronos is still a formidable opponent. Be careful and do not waver. Now go, this sappiness is causing the great me toothaches!"

And with that, I walked most magnificently towards those heathens in this pitiful imitation of a castle.

"Rejoice mortals, for the great me has finally decided to grace you with his radiant presence hahahahaha!"

Hmph, he doesn't look any less stupid than when I last saw him.
