Chapter 10 : Welcome back, Yuri-chan!
I told you so!
Yuri, Lily has a headache, since you think you can do better than Lily, then go do it.
Humph, while it is a peasant's task to do so, I should inform you that...
I'll do it! Since someone has to clean up your mess.
Nagito.
That's unfair.
Queen. Upset ?
Not quite. I shall hold back on what I was going to say for now.
Petty.
And that's pretty much how I gained back control of my body. Our body. Hello everyone, Yuri-san here! Let's take a look at our situation.
Forest again. Seriously, am I secretly an elf and nobody told me or what ?!
Everyone's here, with several armies, and an undead woman I don't know. Ah, wait, I do know her, it's Heroine! What the blazes happened to her?!
And several armies.
Whoop-dee-doo.
We're all currently busy looking at each other right now. Nagito grew up again, he's about 1,70m now and looks like he's about 16. He's become a 1st grade handsome guy, but he lost his harmless look. Now that I think about it, everyone here looks like they've gained back their lost years. Maybe they grew up faster afterwards ? Certainly explained Nagito's growth spurt. He certainly looked pissed. If I go by the symbol the men behind him wear, I'm going ahead and guess that the men behind him are some sort of guards. You've sure been busy this year. Currently trying to murder his older brother with his eyes.
I look around some more. Nondescript Hero-kun and his two... Ah, wait, there are four of them now. Sheesh, even now he really doesn't lose sight of his objectives does he ? He's glaring at Agito too.
Brother is looking at me with adoring eyes. The heck ? Whatever broke him out of his psycho phase?
Kick in the nuts.
.... Really?
Lily said it was a phase.
Theeeeen notices Agito. Welp, goodbye non-psycho bro. Odin is just looking around with calculating eyes.
An then, there's Agito. I wonder what happened...
Ah, Lily transfer memories now.
Oh. That... Lily-hime, you're a cruel, cruel girl.
Lily doesn't understand. Did Lily do something wrong?
Yes.
Oh. Lily sorry.
But seriously, that Agito guy is pretty cool, when you think about it. He's still a total idiot, but damn, he's got self control. I feel bad for landing him in prison now.
Back to the 'everyone is staring'. We'd think we're in a western. Well, I guess I should fire the first shot? Lily, would you do the honors?
Honor of what?
Asking what's going on.
Oh, Lily can do that.
"Umuuu... Lily and Yuri don't get what's going on. Can someone explain?"
Nagiro's brows furrowed and he mouthed 'Lily' as Brother suddenly dashed to our side and took our hands.
"Don't worry nee-san, everything will be back to normal soon."
Of course , our reaction is to get out of his grip an punch him in the face. Hard. He's our brother, he'll survive flying a few dozens of meters away.
"Anyone else has an explanation?"
I ask, smiling as if nothing of note happened. Some people look awkwardly as Brother staggers back to the demon side. Surprisingly, or not, it's Agito that answers to my question.
"Well, my princess, it's pretty simple, more than a year passed and the power balance changed significantly. Mana lost its supremacy due to the summoned heroes defecting and running away to Septentrion like the gullible idiots they are..."
"I did not run away you..."
"And having probably impregnated dozens of women and caught about as many STDs by now..."
"Y-Youuuuu!"
I notice he didn't deny sleeping with lots of women, and look coldly at the haremettes who avoid my gaze. Nagito caught my gaze, looked at the girl on Tasu-guy's right and apparently recognized her.
Well sh*t.
"Long time no see Irina. I see you've finally found out somebody who 'made you feel feminine enough to look at yourself and don't feel inadequate'"
Oooooh buuuurn. And I was right, blondie here was Nagito's ex. Welp, I don't feel sorry for you, even if you're currently looking at the ground, about to cry, and shrinking on yourself. Because if he's getting angry at you, less anger at me, so there. Plus, you totally deserve it. Poor little Nagito-kun had so many problems and you add that on top of it...

"As I was saying, Meridiens and Oriens have formed an alliance via marriage between their queen and king to counterbalance that..."
Ah, why does it concern...
Oh no you don't.
I look at Nagito, who suddenly thinks glaring at Irina is the best thing he could do.
Well, like that, Yuri worry not about breaking up?
That's...not really comforting, Lily-hime.
There still Agito?
No thanks.
I just smile. Everyone save for the idiot suddenly shuddered. I think it wasn't a shudder of fear coming from heroine though.
"And the demon king faction decided to get involved to put down the Lich Queen Adeline, which led to your brother and Odin to be involved."
Said lich queen smiled with a blissful expression, hugging herself.. and was that drool?
"Puhuhuhu, as if I needed putting down. I did need it, yes, but my wonderful goddess of death showed me the right way, and now, love will prevail, through death and destruction, I will find the Ultimate Love!"
S-Scary!
That's a whole other level than our creep of a brother!
But ignoring that. Definitely ignoring that...
"...Agito, did you deliberately keep me separated from the group because of what you knew ?"
The black haired young man smirked.
"Yes and no, my beautiful princess. After all, Mana's council decided this summoning was a failure and so, gave me a set of coordinates in which I needed to gather everyone for a reverse summoning."
Fatal error. Please reload your blonde.
Is that wrong that I feel more betrayed by Agito using me to send everyone back home than by Nagito dumping me and marrying my 'sister' ?
"Does that mean you... Used me to get everybody here?"
Ara, even I am impressed by that amount of ruthlessness.
There must have been something in my tone that expressed the sheer amount of betrayal I felt, because he put a hand on my arm.
Lily thinks he has his reasons.
Oh, Lily-hime...
Shut up, listen to him, underestimating no good.
That hurts a lot Lily-hime...
"Not quite. The great me did enjoy our time together, and never outright lied to you. Furthermore, the great me first got one of your version's approval before the plan was set up, and it should fire... Now."
A giant circle of light surrounded all of us, before being invaded by dark, purple tinted light.
"Hehehe, what a coincidence, my death goddess told me exactly the same thing! Now, using all those lives as sacrifices, let's see whose spell is fastest!" Heroine laughed, her body covered in glowing symbols, whirling around and looking up, her arms spread out.
A red light joined the dance. Not good, looks like the circle is about to explode. The demon general looked the other way, embarrassed.
"... I had that idea too."
Well, feeling welcome right here assholes!
Hyaaaaaa, three summoning spells of different natures in one go? Necro-chan doesn't think that's gonna end well...
Queen's fault.
Now, now, that would be Reisen's ( their nickname for Resentment)
Queen's fault.
I have to agree with Lily-hime on that oneeeeeeee.
No more light, a big explosion, and then nothing.
When we woke up, we were all in an apartment complex, half devastated, with a giant robot spouting some nonsense.
“Do not fear, humans, for you shall be the heralds of a new, enlightened era under the Zul !”
Like. Hell. I. Will !
I feel really, really angry. I don't know what's going on , or where we are, but what I know is that we've been rudely ejected from somewhere to somewhere else, and that tinfoil can just volunteered to be my new victim.
Half my magical reserves went into it, but between the freezing and the laser, I daresay the stupid overgrown toy got it's just deserts.
Now I can safely faint with the rest of the people around.
Yes, sleeping seems to be a nice idea right now.
Good night everyone.
