Chapter 9: Lily-tan cleans up the house!

Lily looked at Agito. Still in town square. Mind hurting with activity. Not good. Wobbling, catch Agito.

"Agito..."

"What happened, are you ill?"

"Queen and Yuri woke up. Lily do some cleaning. Sorry. Protect me until then?"

Lily didn't hear answer, because Lily pulled into in-con-sci-ous-ness.

Meanwhile, at the Yuri council...

Yuri was the first to notice Lily.

"Erm, Berser-tan? Why are you not... You know ? Breaking everything around?"

'Queen' sniffed in disdain. She always does.

"There are more pressing concerns Yuri-dear, and that would be what that mongrel of a brother did to us; Whatever damage we did and whatever he did to us still remains to be seen..."

"He wouldn't have ?!"

They ignore Lily again.

"You two, shut up."

Yuri looks like I killed her pet goldfish. She's dumber that Lily remembered.

"W-What ?!"

"Lily said to shut up, Lily wants answers now."

Silence. Yuri..taken aback? Queen's eyes narrowed.

"A-about what?"

"The mess you two caused. You forgot your place. Both of you."

"Oh ? Wasn't the reason you created us in the first place because you are a coward that can't look at reality in the eyes?"

Queen is as annoying as Lily remembers.

"Muuu, Lily thought Queen grateful for existing. Maybe Lily wrong?"

She got totally white real quick. Lily doesn't get it, but what works, works.

"You... You'd erase us?"

Yuri real scared too.

"You were created for reasons. You two Reason and Resentment, after all? Where all that go again?"

"...."

"Lily thought so. Now, Lily has to deal with your mess."

"Now, Bers-"

"Lily. Lily is Lily, despite your efforts to keep me away, this is Lily's body, and now, Lily's mind again. And now, you two WILL do what you were made for."

"But.."

"No. No more dating Nagito. No more playing around. No more scheming. No mass sacrifices to end us back home."

Lily glares at Queen.

"Lily always watched after all. Lily knows what you did. Lily doesn't approve."

"Did I miss someting?"

Yuri confused again. And Lily the dumb one ?

"Queen hid things for reason. Why Necromancer!Yuri ? Why Ai ? Simple. Queen, mass sacrifice to open rift, send us only home."

"She did What ?!"

"Hmph, I don't see why I should justify myself, I am the Qu"

"Resentment. All your attributes are hereby rescinded. You bad example. Lily made you so Lily would not ever fall into the bad person category. "

"You can't!"

"Watch me."

Lily clapped fingers. Chains tore Queen apart, and lots of Yuri appear. Princess, mother, King, Queen ,strategist, interrogator, judge, executor and Resentment. Resentment still tied up to chair.

"Youuuu-ghmph!"

Lily put chain in her mouth.

"Queen."

"Ah, we might have a moment of weakness that allowed us to be swallowed. That will not happen again."

"Hope so. Now out."

After a while, we're three in the room again.

Lily looks at the really bummed looking Yuri.

"Yuri-san. You Rea-son. Why so irresponsible?"

"...I don't know."

" Yuri real bad. Playing around."

"I know."

"Not happening again."

"No."

"Good. Now, Lily gonna go. Lily things to do."

"Erm, if I may, what are you going to do?"

"Become a princess knight. And then make a heroic army, beat up demon king and come back home."

"W-What ?! But the flags!"

Reason really got dumb? No world, no flags. Back home means no more flags. So home, priority by any means.

"Your mess, your problem. Lily be watching."

"Wait , what?! No, You can't do this, Lily-himeeeeeeee!"

Lily opened her eyes. Again, against Agito's back. On a horse.

"Lily is sorry. Lily had to deal with some pests."

Calling me a pest... You're so cruel Lily-hime...

If I may, Yuri-san, you had it coming.

Not you too Knight-san! Wait. Aren't you sealed or something.

I allowed myself to be imprisoned, so that I would serve no one else but my rightful lord.

... Wow, If you were a real man, I'd totally dig you.

Please stay away from me.

Yuri, stop trying weird things to Knight. Knight, stop reasoning with Yuri. Yuri damaged. Will have to work on that.

"Ah, The great me hoped it would be you that came out victorious."

"Umu. Starting re-assimilation. Too many personalities, too much strain."

Assimilation 1% Complete.

Thanks Analyst.

Wait, you're re-assimilating us ? You don't need us anymore?!

Of course Lily does. But having both Fencer-Rider-Hero and Knight useless, Right? Too much space for same thing.

Why aren't you saying anything Knight-san ?!

I'm an administrator rank ego, I would survive the fusion anyways.

...

"Ne, Agito?"

"Yes, My princess?"

"How bad Nagito when he learns Lily destroyed Yuri?"

You're going to destroy me ?!

No.

But you just said...

Better he thinks you died that you were just playing with him.

I... Can't deny that.

"You... destroyed Yuri."

"Queen."

"... Very bad, probably. The great me's brother won't forgive you for that."

"Ah. Too bad."

"The great me worries about your lack of reaction."

"Yuri still alive, but better for his pride. After all, his first girlfriend joined Cronos'Harem. Better that way ?"

"Haha, no. The great me thinks it would be better for you to explain yourself clearly. Your honesty is your greatest virtue, don't tarnish that."

"Muuu. Lily blushing. Stop that. Embarrassing."

His laughing fit had an hys-te-ri-cal edge to it.

"If that is so, then the great me should praise you even more! Ha ha ha!"

You're going to let him embarrass you like that ?

Imouto ?

I asked a question !

Well, no ?

Then hug him from behind, strong!

Okay?

"Agito you meanie!"

...

We fell from the horse.

Why I listened to you ?

Payback.

Muuuuu...

We finally got off demon country, without seeing demons. Lily thinks this is very weird.

"S-Senseeeeeeeei!"

Lily dodged something troublesome.

What's his name? Snorkack?

Cormac, my lady.

"...Cormac?"

Cormac, Brian and Aife. With a bunch of very, very troublesome people.

"Ah, Cronos, my long time enemy! The great me would like to stay and humiliate you with my grand gloriousness, but The great me has a princess to escort back to her country."

Cronos and Haremettes.

"F-Freyja?!, It's really you?"

Lily doesn't like how he looks at Lily's chest to check. There's not much there anyways. Troublesome otherwise.

"No. My name... is Lily."

"What she is saying, is that she's Meridiens's first princess, Lilia, and she was there on an observation mission for her country."

Hero-dude looked a bit, before...

"Lie, she's definitely Freyja! Her becoming young again just messed with her head, and you even more!"

Is that everybody's habit to ignore Lily?

Assimilation 5% complete. Entity Queen reformed.

Ara, It feels different without the resentment component. Well, whatever, I don't need hate, for I am the Queen and... What's happening here?

Lily also lost. Lily thinks pervy hero wants me in harem, and Agito just doesn't like him at all.

...

Lily ?

Yes ?

It's time for punishment.

Muuu?

Don't worry, we will take care of e-ve-ry-thing.

No necromantic armies of doom?

Of course not. Who need corpses anyways. Don't insult me.

Lily be watching.

Of course, I'd expect no less from the Empress, after all.

Lily doesn't like the name.

"Ara, Agito? Who would those people be?"

Thankfully, this 'Agito' seems to have a brain.

"Ah, they would be rivals of mine, my princess. They are smitten with somebody sharing your looks and jumped to the conclusion they are you."

We look at them disdainfully while showing our signet ring.

This mockery of a hero wasn't rebutted though, and our three would be apprentices stepped back, slowly.

We were about to let them know of our wrath, when a lot more people appeared. A lot of guards led by a violet eyed young man that looked from us to Agito in anger, Two young people with a big, demonic creature behind them, a brown haired, green eyed undead woman and a small army of demons, undead and humans.

Oh my oh my, it looks like we have a problem.

Can Lily go now?

That's what I was talking about, but did you two listen to me ? Noooo, of course not ! Since when do we need to listen to Reason ? Never, and that's what happens, I told you so !

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

Hehehe, kingdom reformation !

A queen that doesn't hate everything!

An assertive Lily !

And Yuri. Forgot about her.

And trouble. Don't forget about trouble.
