A tied up gothic lolita, cloaked up mercenary and a screaming goddess were the talk of the town when they walked through the town square. It was the worst outcome that Riku could have expected. He only wanted to find a quest at the Adventure’s Guild while keeping a low profile. Riku could only sigh at the predicament he was in now.
Senna complained to Riku about how she wanted to butcher The Scarlet Magician into pieces before placing her in a blender to destroy her corpse. To Senna, the lolita had committed the greatest sin, hitting Riku’s perfect face. Riku had to spend a good hour kissing Senna in order to coax her to let the lolita off. Riku did not tell Senna that the lolita was going to be useful as he was planning to sell the lolita as a slave. She could fetch a hefty price for being a high rank adventurer and having innocent looks was a plus as well.

Senna’s purpose in life Senna’s thoughts
How dare she harm Riku!
She needs to die.
I hate her.
Riku I love you.
She is not fit to be by Riku’s side.
I’ll kill her Riku.
Leave it to me.
================================================================================
In Riku’s eyes the lolita was deadweight to him. There was no doubt that she was a strong magician. Undoubtedly strong. Riku knew that the lolita went easy on him. If she fought at full power or used AoE spells, the entire guild would have probably been incinerated. Riku had felt that he had no use of a person who would show mercy to an enemy.
After 2 Hours of walking through the town square, Riku and Senna were dragging the lolita on the ground while eating fried centaur meat. By now, the lolita was awake was shouting and making a huge fuss. She tried shouting and asking passing travelers for help. But after seeing that people were diverting their attention from the mysterious trio, she started a chant.
“Let me go! By the power of the almighty God of fire Ohq, I …”
Riku squatted to the lolita’s eye level and was staring at her. Riku was trying to wear a threatening expression on his face while he looked into the lolita’s hazel eyes. Her face turned bright red. It was the opposite reaction that Riku was expecting. The pure maiden’s face was filled with embarrassment and expectation. She was shaking her head while squinting her eyes.
Seeing that the lolita stopped causing a commotion, Senna kicked her head to remind the lolita that she was around. Riku just sighed as they begin to journey back to the inn.
Riku headed back to the town square to buy another packet of fried centaur meat for their tied up prisoner who would not shut up. While ordering the snack, Riku noticed a silhouette near a dark alleyway. The silhouette was jumping up and down while waving her hands in the air as if it was trying to catch Riku’s attention. Riku being Riku paid no attention to the silhouette. After buying the centaur meat he left for the inn. Leaving Senna with the lolita for long was not a good idea after all.
The silhouette did not take Riku’s negligence for an answer. He ran up to Riku, held his hand before dragging him into the the dark alley. Riku did not resist as he was curious as to why the person wanted his attention so badly. The silhouette turned out to be a person that was slightly shorter than Riku and was wearing the same adventurer robe as him.
The figure forced Riku to sit down next to what looked to be a fortune teller stand. There was a crystal ball on the center of the table. The dark alley way and fortune teller stand made the atmosphere cryptic and somewhat eerie as if it were a horror movie. Riku could not care less about the location though. What caught his attention was the dark blue haired maiden with obsidian black eyes and elfish like ears that was sitting in front of him after she took off her adventurers robe. What shocked him even more was that she was only wear undergarments.
Riku was baffled of at the sight of the lady who just undressed in front of him. The bold colors of bright red matching undergarments was even strong enough to make Riku blush. After taking a few seconds to collect his emotions, he started the conversation. The perverted lady who was most likely in her twenties was wearing a very serious expression ever since she stripped in front of Riku.

“A pervert in broad daylight… how unexpected.”
“There are 6 gods in the world of <
Riku was getting bored from listening to what was known to be common sense, the history of the 6 Gods that gave their power (mana) to all living creatures. Archangels were the embodiment of the Gods. They were the head of all the angels in the upper realm, in essence they were second to God. Falling in love with a mortal was unheard of and was what kept Riku’s attention.
“Yes I heard everything, please continue.”
“Are you sure?! I have waited 16 years for this and spent the whole time preparing this speech for this exact moment!”
“Yes, please continue.”
The lady was pouting at Riku. She really wanted to repeat herself. After letting out a sigh, the woman continued.
“You are the son of the Archangel Lucifer and the Legendary Magician Liza Roquefort. You kiddo are a demi god. Your mother died in order to grant a blessing of protection onto you for 18 years to ward off all harm and the Gods. In 18 years’ time, the Gods and Humanoids will be coming for your head. After all, you are a person who should have never existed in the first place.”
She glanced at Riku expecting some sort of reaction. Well, anyone other than Riku would have gave a reaction. Riku being Riku gave an expression that showed that he wanted her to continue the story. She sighed yet again and continued.
“You have 1 and a half years to get stronger. Strong enough to face the gods. You are a Liger. The offspring of the strongest Angel and strongest Magician. Be strong enough to survive when the time comes Riku Roquefort.
….Well, that’s about it. Any questions?”
“Who are you?”
“Oh, I still haven’t introduced myself. My name is Chunni Torq, I am a Water Sprite from the plains of Ascen. You can just call me Chunni though.”
Riku just sighed at the situation. He was not planning on dying any time soon. He still needed to finish what he started after all. He glanced back at Chunni who gave a perplex look back at him.
“Any other questions?”
“No… thank you”
Chunni then started to vaporize in front of him, turning into a form of what looked like to be a spirit made up of water. When the body of water finally took shape she disappeared.
“kekeke you’re just like Lucifer.”
The words she said got covered by the wind, they were soft so that Riku could not hear her. With a goal ahead of him, Riku decided to head back to the inn. After a buying a slime sundae and a handful of boiled potatoes, he headed back to the inn. When finally reached the inn, he could hear the screams of Senna and the lolita arguing with each other. Riku let out a sigh and muttered to himself.
“Boy… has it been a long day.”
