Chapter 23

Hmm, what to do today. Maybe, hunt? Or -

"*Snap* That's what I was forgetting!"(Rina)

"""*Confused* Huh?"""

"Oh, right. You guys are here."(Rina)

"(Dead Pan) Did you seriously forget about us in the minute we've been walking."(Blizzard)

"*Scratches back of head* (Embarrassed) hehe. Sorry."(Rina)

"*Sigh* Whatever. What was it you remembered you needed to do."(Snow)

"Well, we need to call "Him"."(Rina)

"Ooohh, it was about "Him". Then, yeah, we might want to call "him". He might even help us with what we need to *Coldly* kill that bastard."(Snow)

When Snow mentioned him all of us released our killing intent.

"*Yawn* What's with all th-"(Ella)

Suddenly Ella came out of nowhere and was about to ask why there was so much killing intent when she saw all of us.

*Grin* I've got a funny idea. [Accelerated thought processing]

{Everyone, pretend you're not here and say nothing.}(Rina)

{Don't you think it's a little mean to gaslight your friend like this?}(Hail)

{As much as I hate to say this but, she's right. I don't think you should do this.}(Snow)

{Oh, come on. It'll be fun. It's just a little harmless prank. Plus, wouldn't it be funny to see her have a mini-mental break down as she tries to figure out if she's crazy or not?}(Rina)

{Elder sister I think you need some mental help. You shouldn't be playing around with people's heads like that.}(Blizzard)

{*Offended* I will have you know I am perfectly sane. I couldn't go insane even if I tried. Or do I need to remind you about [Patience]'s effect. And plus, I'm an assassin, my whole job is to mess with someone's head then take them out while they are confused.}(Rina)

{I still don't think this is a good idea.}(Blizzard)

{Come on. PPlleeaassee. I swear I won't go too far.}(Rina)

{*Sigh* ...Fine. But I'll step in if you go too far.}(Snow)

{(Excited) Alright! What about you 2?}(Rina)

{*Sigh* I'll follow big sis Snow's lead. But I'm also stepping in if you go too far!}(Blizzard)

{And Hail?}(Rina)

{Urk! *Sigh* It seems I don't have a chose. I won't interfere in your prank. But don't go too far. You don't want to deal with a broken demon king, right?}(Hail)

*Swish Swish*

{(Excited) Alright! Time to have some fun!}(Rina)

I then cut the connection. While, the conversation might have sounded long, but it only took like 2-3 seconds in normal time.

Man, I love Hyper Accelerated thought processing. So, convenient for secret conversations.

"(Confused) Ella? What are you doing up? (Raises Eyebrow) And why are you giving me a blank look?

Is there something on my face?"(Rina)

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"..."(Ella)

"HHelllooo! Ella are you there!?"(Rina)

"..."(Ella)

*Step Step*

"*Waves hand in face* Ella are you there?"(Rina)

"..."(Ella)

I then tried shaking Ella.

"*Shakes head* What's going on!? (Confused) And why are you shaking me?"(Ella)

"*Stops shaking* Ah, you're back. You were about to ask me something but, when you looked at me you started spacing out and not replying so I shook you out of it."(Rina)

"Ah, right! What's wi- (Looks beside) *Rubs eyes* *Blink blink blink* (Point's forward) Rina, who are they?"(Ella)

"*Turn's around**Turns back* (Confused) Who are who? There's nobody over there."(Rina)

"Right there! There is 2 wolves and a girl that looks creepily similar to you right behind you!"(Ella)

*Inward grin* Hehe, it's working.

I then turn around again and pretend to look around closely.

"*Turns back* (Concerned) Ella are you ok? There is no one besides you and me right now. Which is also weird. Do you know where all the maids are?"(Rina)

"First I have no clue where they are. Second, *Points at right shoulder* they're right there!"(Ella)

Heh, and they said it was cruel. Now look at them joining in.

"*Looks at right shoulder* (Concerned) Ella are you really alright? There's nothing on my right shoulder.

Maybe you should take a brake and rest for a while."(Rina)

"(Holds forehead) Yeah, I think your right. I think I need a break. All this stress is getting to me and I'm seeing things."(Ella)

"Pfft"(Blizzard)

"(Looks up) Huh? (Mad) Did you just laugh at me?"(Ella)

"(Lifts up hands) *Shakes head* It wasn't me. I haven't made a sound since I told you to take a break."(Rina)

"(Holds forehead) Ugh, I'm really losing it now. I'm even hearing things."(Ella)

"Pfft, Ahahahahahaha I-I can't! Ahahahahahaha! T-That's too funny!"(Blizzard)

At that everyone started laughing.

"(Confused) Huh? What's going on? Why are you suddenly laughing?"(Ella)

"Pfft, Hahahaha! Ha ha, hoo! That was hilarious. *Wipes tear*"(Rina)

"(Confused) Huh? You want to explain what's so funny?"(Ella)

"Ah, right, well you're not going insane. It was just me pranking you. They were real the whole time."(Rina)

"(Mad) So you've been messing with me the whole time!"(Ella)

"Ye-gah! Ow."(Rina)

*Thump*

Ella then punched me in the stomach, and I fell.

"(Out of breath) Glad I haven't eaten yet."(Rina)

"(Glare) *Annoyed* So, are you going to explain what's going on and who they are."(Ella)

"(Out of breath) Give me a sec. I need to get my breath back."(Rina)

"(Glare) Fine."(Ella)

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

(1 minute later)

"*Inhale* Much better. *Stands up* Now, what do you want to know?"(Rina)

"(Glare) Everything."(Ella)

"(Eyeroll) Can we do it over breakfast we're starving."(Rina)

"*Sigh* ...Fine. But you're telling me everything."(Ella)

"Deal! But we're going to need a lot of food."(Rina)

"(Annoyed) How much exactly?"(Ella)

"Well, like 6 or 7 horned rabbits."(Rina)

"*Raises Eyebrow* Just that much?

Don't you alone eat like 2 horned rabbits?"(Ella)

"Each."(Rina)

"Pfft, EACH!!?? What the fuck are you going to do with 7 horned rabbits each!?"(Ella)

"Well, (looks away Embarrassed) You know how I've been growing a lot lately?"(Rina)

"(Confused) What about it?"(Ella)

"Well, during this period of time I need a lot of food."(Rina)

"(Confused) Ok? But you're usually fine with just that much."(Ella)

"Actually, I'm not. I just end up always eating during training because of master so you don't notice.

In fact, I actually got in trouble with master when he found out how much I was eating and said things like "You're in your growing stage, nya. You need to eat to grow, nya." and "Stop, starving yourself, nya." it was honestly kind of annoying."(Rina)

"And you didn't say anything the first time because?"(Ella)

"Ah, my growing stage didn't start until a few days after I arrived. So, I never said anything. Also, before you ask anything about my growing stage. It'll probably end in between a week or a month.

But if I had to guess I'd say like 2 weeks because while I did start later than normal, I'm also growing faster than normal."(Rina)

"(Raises Eyebrow) I assume your master also taught you this."(Ella)

"Ah, no. Master isn't super well versed in the growth stages of the mystic beasts. Like, how the shadow foxes start growing at 9 months or the phoenix that start growing a week or 2 after hatching."(Rina)

"(Shocked) Then who taught you this?"(Ella)

"(Excited) Ah, it was Mom. She said I needed to know all of this as the successor of the Fenrir clan. So, I know all the growth stages of the mystic beasts. I also know of the "Gathering of Clan Leaders" that's going to take place in a like a year and a half."(Rina)

"Ho-Hold on. Slow down. You're getting a little too excited about this. Now explain how you remember this, because last time I checked you still had the collar on."(Ella)

"(Embarrassed) Ah, sorry. And-"(Rina)

*Click*

*Drop*

I dropped my cloak to reveal that I didn't have the collar on anymore.

"(Shocked) *Jaw drop* When did you get it off?"(Ella)

"*Smile* Last night. I broke it and passed out *Gggrrr*, but I'll explain all that later. For now, food cause I'm starving."(Rina)

"(Smile) (Shakes head) Sure, let's go I'll tell the kitchen to make the food."(Ella)

""{{Thanks!}}""

"*Jump*(Holds heart) Geez, that scared me. Tell me next time before you all talk."(Ella)

""{{sorry}}""

"Y-. You know what. It's fine.

Then, bye."(Ella)

"Bye."(Rina)

"See you in a bit."(Blizzard)

{Goodbye.}(Snow)

{Seeya.}(Hail)
