Chapter 5. Berser-tan no tatakai !

It hurts.

My mind feels like wool.

I really should go back to Brother.

Brother knows best after all.

... .

But he really does !

... ?

I don't know ? I just know it.

... !

B-But...

...ber ! ...way , ...dy!

But Brother...

...but! If .... th...!

I don't know.

... you don't. Not thinking straight.

But I am.

But I am. You under his spell. Now sleep.

...guess so?

Yes.

...see. Will you...?

Don't worry. I the youngest, but even I can some things.

... ?

Worry too much. Keep an eye on the Queen ?

... .

I open my eyes.

"Ah, you've finally woken up, princess. The great me thought he would need to get some wisdom from the ancients and wake you the old fashioned way !"

"Loud."

Too loud. Male, black haired, blue eyes, Nekota Agito, threat level B, no visible hostility.

Forest. Not in town. We were moved.

Alone with Agito. We were saved ?

Saving is good. Good people get thanks.

"...Thanks."

Need to work on expressing myself.

He looks pleased.

"But of course, when the great me swore himself to you, he meant it, especially during those times!

Swear himself to me ?

I-I think in the knightly way, h-he promised to be your knight, s-swore fealty to you.

What knight ?

I-it's hard to explain... A knight would be an honorable noble warrior that swore to serve a lord, usually a king.

But me girl...

U-Um...You know, sometimes, knight swear themselves to ladies..

Lady noble ?

Ah, yes, and...

Me noble ?

Yes, you're a princess, a-and...

Princess boring. Me wants Knight. Me sees. Me become Princess knight and kick stupid brother in the face.

W-Wait!

Hush. Me call in session now.

Yuri council, Main Yuri and Her Highness compromised and put to sleep. The rest?

A-ano... Necrolily and the other administrators are out, and I think Fencer-chan took a hit too.

Umu. I see. Analyst-nee, more precision?

Affirmative. In my approximations, 75% Of our selves have fallen to the spell and been sealed. As such, some personalities previously sealed by the two mains had to be released to keep our mind from completely shut down.

What are those ?

They would be...

Goood MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOorning everyone !

Ara, looks like someone is in a good mood today ?

Nevermind that, we need to do something about the situation!

Hum. If me remembers, you cheerleader!Yuri, bigsis!Yuri and Hero!Yuri ?

Oh my, what happened here ?

Hunyah! The building is all rumbly crumbly!

If the situation was so dire, why wasn't I called in?

You three, shut up.

...

Princess and queen mind controlled. Me imprisoned them temporary. Too many people in jail. Had to let you out. You do weird stuff, I beat you up.

Me gonna become princess knight , get more knights, and beat up stupid brother who put us in this mess. You agree, or I beat you up.

Fufun, do I get to wear pretty clothes?

No. Not going out in my underwear.

Indeed, that would be unbecoming of us, though, if we're going for the princess knight angle, some concessions might be necessary.

Conce-what? Too complicated. Don't care. Me can't walk into cities.

A-Ano....

What ?

Eeeeep! A-Ah, I m-m-m-might have a solution?

Me listening.

Th-that would put us c-close to my genre, but, f-for the time being, s-since th-there is war, we could use that to identify and attract future heroes/protagonists to our cause.

...Cold. Queen worthy.

I-I-hic- I'm sorryyyyyy....

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

While I agree that this method is underhanded, it would be the best if we have to fight against everyone else.

Agreed, we have to fight against three kingdoms, demonkind, and probably Nagito while we're at it. Aaaah, he was so cute before he started growing up...

So we all okay ? What warriors we have ?

According to my charts, Lancer and Rider. Fencer might shake off the spell if put in close proximity to Hero. Martial artist is unsalvageable until the spell is lifted. Healer and the crafters are operational. Since NecroLily and Yuri are out, Healer has temporary authority over our magical actions.

U-hum. I won't use any death aligned spells other than the lifeforce transfer ones, and offensive spells though.

You difficult.

This goes against my credo, and our 'battlemage' is currently busy swooning about how beautiful a corpse Brother would make.

...

Then why we sealed her ?

...

"Ahem! The great me know that there are a lot going in your mind right now, but he wouldn't mind an explanation about what happened."

Our eyes meet. Honest is good, so me honest.

"Brother used mind control spell."

"What ?!"

He look furious.

"Yuri, Queen and a lot of others affected. All in love with him right now. About ..."

25%

Thanks analyst-nee

"..About 25% of our mind operational right now."

He let himself down to the ground, looks at me seriously.

"Who are you ?"

"The Third. They call me Berser-tan. You ... may call me Lily."

That wording...is weird. But if I ...must take control, I ... should speak properly.

He does not understand though. Looks. He looks surprised.

" Me... I. Am, Lily, or Berser-tan. I...am ? The instinct, savage part. Usually kept away, so ..I... managed to escape the spell. Hard to explain."

I finish.

I must look troubled, because I feel my head being patted.

"Have you decided on what to do right now?"

"Yes. Confused though. About a knightly"

Chivalric order.

Thanks Hero.

"Chivalric order. Lots of people need saving, saving is good, so I save them. Then I undo the spell and Kick stupid Brother's face.And fox woman too."

"Pfffft"

I blink. Agito is holding his sides.

"You hurt? Hurt is no good !"

He stop holding his sides. He laugh. I feel a bit annoyed.

"Not nice."

"S-Sorry, but that is -haha- So you! So you're the honest one ! HA ha ha!"

Honesty is good. Mocking honesty is bad.

"Bad people must be punished."

I punch the tree behind him. Tree falls. Silence.

"Ahem. The great me apologizes. So, a chivalric order? It seems like a glorious prospect to the great me! Very well, I shall accompany you."

To be a knight you need a mount, Bers...Lily-tan.

Archibald.

The horse was eating grass nearby.

But what about his mount.

Me needs think. Ah, me found. Argh. I found.

This ...Is hard.

"You..You're the barrel knight ?"

I say...testing my words.

Agito falls on the ground laughing.

Mocking is not nice.

But so is destroying nature.

But what do I do then ?

Pout.

Oh. I Pout then.

He laughs even harder.

***

The town of Cailgear, was in shambles, but surprisingly, not a lot of people died.  But Aife, Brian and I saw it with our own two eyes.

He was shining, as bright as the sun, and fighting the demons, no slaughtering them. Such an individual couldn't be called a human anymore, he was like a god of war descended from heaven to save us.

He confronted the demon king and his generals on his own, but ultimately lost when a purple beam hit him.

Or so we thought.

I' looked like the sky itself gathered into his sword, that he planted into the ground, and everything then went white.

When we woke up, no sign of demons, no sign of our hero, just a sword.

I know sensei is alive. Brian and Aife agree. And tonight, we're going to look for him.

----------------------------------------

Introducing Berser-tan ! Who prefers to be called Lily. She's such a good child. And will create so much chaos.

He he he I'm not going to explain what the hell happened during the fight straight away :3
