Chapter 6 : Lily-tan discovers her vocation!

So it is decided.

I took analyst-nee with me. She's always with me, help me think clearly-er... Clearer-ly?

Thinking is confusing.

But Yuri and Queen not here.

So me.. Lily must do her best.

Third person less confusing.

Currently ( it means now, An-nee said) we are at the ... boarder? Bordure? The edge of the country.

Been riding for a month.

Lily doesn't know which though.

Still in the forest. Trees everywhere.

Gonna be hard to punch out people without hurting nature. Agito is riding my horse for me. Forgot how to do it myself. Rider is a meanie, but runs fast, so Lily can't beat her up.

The scenery is pretty, but questions first.

So Lily pokes his side.

"Ne?"

"Hm?"

He makes a noise without looking back.

"Where?"

"Where are we going, you ask ? Good question. I have no idea myself, ha ha."

Lily is starting to doubt her decision to come with him.

"Idiot?"

"How you wound me ! Of course not, the great me simply knows the way you have with events. If we just wait around, an opportunity will present itself soon enough."

"Lily doesn't think so."

"Oh? Why is that ?"

"Weird things are scared of Lily. Lily hits them really hard, so they don't come. Lily isn't good an plan-ing, like Queen, so plans don't fail, and nothing happens."

...

"Are you, perhaps, saying that strange things don't happen around you."

"Lily doesn't know, but nothing happened until now ? An-nee say with Yuri and Queen, things happened already."

Agito laughs again.

Always in a good mood.

He still an idiot , though.

"Well then, we'll just have to go looking for trouble, right ?"

"Lily doesn't know if good idea."

"Nonsense, you have to feed after all, and animal energy makes you ill."

"..."

Lily feels bad about that. Killing people is bad, and still , we often do it. Lily doesn't like it.

Horse stops. Agito speaks softer.

"What is the matter, Lily?"

Worried.

"Sorry. Lily is a bad girl. People don't like bad girls. Good girls don't hit and break and kill, but that's what Lily was made for, but Lily wants to be a good girl... But Lily doesn't know anything else..."

He pats Lily's head again. He often does.

"It's okay Lily, the great me is the king of gods after all ! If I say it's okay, then it is."

" But this is not the game."

"So what ? In a world, we are gods, in another, simple mortals, and here ? Heroes. Nobody who didn't live like us can judge us."

He feels angry now, activates my combat instinct, but he calms down, so do I.

"Lily doesn't understand."

Something is squeezing Lily's throat and Lily's eyes feel hot.

"Lily doesn't understand why she has to hide like that..."

"Do you really want to, though?"

Lily puts her face against his back and feels his energy. It's very bright. Lily likes the feel of it.

"No."

"There you have it. Leave the thinking to the great me! For after all, the great me thwarted Cronos' plans more times he cares for!"

"...Idiot."

The horse starts walking again.

"Indeed, that man is an idiot, why, last time..."

Lily sorry, but for some reason, Lily drained. And relieved, but mostly tired, so Lily fell asleep while Agito speaking.

"Wake up princess, we have a bright day ahead of us !"

"Muuu..."

Rub eyes. Too loud again. Too bright too. Blink. Blink again. Look from left to right.

Forest, road, plain, city. Encampment. Slept here ?

Probably.

To sleep that much, very tired.

Agito. Leather armor, hair cut short.

"Hair ?"

"How astute of you! Indeed, I cut my hair, it wouldn't do to look like a savage when this close from civilization !"

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

Lily doesn't get it, but it sounds bad.

"Cut my hair?"

"Wa? No, of course not! You are a girl, you keep your hair long!"

"If you say so."

Agito paused for a while, before speaking carefully.

"Did Healer settle well ?"

"Yes. Cloaking us. Somebody spying."

Lily doesn't know why, but Agito feels worried, annoyed, and... Satisfied ?

"Hm, should have expected that from him. Even after his failure. Sadly, unless he makes amends, the great me will not forgive his negligence."

"Bad person?"

"No, just incompetent."

"In-com-pe-tent is bad. Must replace by qua-li-fied. Dangerous o-ther-wise."

Lily feels proud of herself right now !

Agito weird though. Put his face in his hands.

A-aaah, that's because you don't do it right, Lily-chan.

Lily doesn't?

Nnnnnope. What you should do right now is catch his shirt's hem, look up at him with our big blue eyes. Here, let me do it.

Lily feels something is wrong. She still lets her do it , though.

"Lily wrong?"

Agito jumps away, completely redfaced.

That was mean Imouto!Yuri.

Nyahaha, don't worry, he's resistant, this much wouldn't affect him in the long run!

"A-aha ha! Of course not ! The great me was just thinking!"

Mean girls are bad girls. Bad girls need punishment.

W-WAAAaaaaaugh ! Not the hair ! Where did you learn that anyways?!

Hitting people through trees hurt trees. Hurt trees hurt nature. So hitting people is bad.

W-What with that line of thought?!

Ara, Imouto-chan, here you were, we weren't done with that dressing up session~

NeedtogoniceseeingyouLily!

Goodbye.

"About what ?"

"Hm. It seems Cronos' and Nagito's forces will soon close in on us, and that would be problematic. In other words, we need a fast escape, and you need to stockpile energy, it probably will be a long travel."

Lily thought about it for long.

"Really bad people... Is okay, right?"

He smiles at Lily brightly. Lily likes it when he does that.

"Of course, if bad people are allowed to get out alive, they will hurt lots of people."

"I think...Lily gets it."

That's why, after getting a mission from an adventure guild, Agito joined them a year ago, we attacked bandits.

Very mean, killed loads of people.

Broke stuff, and stole from people.

Lots of people in cages.

Bad people must be punished.

Lily doesn't feel as bad to hurt them.

Well, Lily still tried to make it quick though, feeding can be fast.

There was one meaner than the rest, Lancer 'ran him though'. She said he deserved much worse. Lancer never lies.

Agito came back.

" Are you done?"

"Hm-mm. Lily feels a bit weird though."

I'm baaaaaack.

"Annoying."

"Oh, internal problem."

"Lily deal with it."

*Grck*Lily-chaaaaan! You're so mean, hogging Onii-can all to yourself!

Lily doesn't care about you. Go away.

But but, don't you want to get closer on onii-chan?

Lily's face feels hot.

Lily beats up the stupid imouto and feels better.

"Pervert."

Agito was speaking and whitened.

"I would never...!"

"No. ImoutoYuri. Pervert."

Lily feels upset, so she kicks a giant guy out of our way. He flies, missing a tree.

A bit later, we're in front of something.

Agito calls it 'Holy u-bi-qui-tous ar-te-fact'

He teaches lily lots of words.

It's supposed to be our means of transportation though the rivers.

It still looks like a barrel to Lily.

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

Nothing much happens.

And that's because Lily-chan scares things away, Oh, the irony.

The strongest alter ego appeared ! And was promptly beat up.

A great voyage will soon happen, wherever will our heroes go ?
