《Villainess and Grimoire》Chapter 54 – Ruins Arc
Advertisement
After carrying Kaito in my back we arrive at the guild, with Goro in the front.
"Healer!" He lets out a shout, trying to communicate but due to panting from the over-exercising, Goro falls on his knees taking deep breaths while placing a hand on the heart that is beating madly.
"Fatty?" Aiko says surprised upon watching the usual big figure of his enter the guild full of sweat, completely drenching the floor beneath him.
I then arrive with Kaito on my back.
"Kaito? Why is he...?" Yuno looks at the missing hand screaming getting everyone's attention.
"Kaito!" Edgar and Aiko run towards us to help me as I'm exhausted from carrying him this far.
"Please take care of Kaito, Edgar," I say softly as I'm totally out of breathing, dropping Kaito on the floor with his help.
System: The title Corpse Transporter has been received.
Different voices resound in my mind laughing, 'yes, yes, very funny, keep on laughing at me, a title befitting a witch I know...'
A demonic tone speaks in my mind,' truly matching us, you need more titles like this,' his laughter continued while I did my best to recover my fatigue.
Goro sits on one of the benches sweating like crazy too, with the help of three adventurers who came to assist us.
I crawl a bit to the side and sit close to one of the pillars resting my back and head on it, allowing my body to give in to the tiredness.
I stare at Kaito and the girls that are looking after him, along with Edgar and another adventurer who is performing some heal through the unique light element usage, next to them I notice a blonde girl glaring at me.
Goro who is close by on one of the benches says, "the blonde one with dark brown eyes is Yuno and the black-haired with dark brown eyes is Aiko."
"Blonde color in this world is pretty rare so I was surprised seeing one like myself."
"I didn't know it was a rare color. They're the two girls who came with us, also summoned ones, they don't like me, and I don't know if they'll like you, so be careful around them."
"Alright, but it should be fine, after all, I did my best to keep Kaito alive."
I smile kindly at him while breathing moderately as it was a long run.
"Also thank you Iris for saving Kaito, actually thank you for saving him for the second time too."
I giggle a bit making him do it too.
An adorable tone resounds in my mind,' does he like us? Did he fall for us?' The question causes me to blush as it was unexpected, making me avert my gaze from him.
'What are you talking about, he's just a new friend and a lot older than me, we, us, gosh, no matter,' I let out a sigh as I'm not used to all these voices.

After some time passes and we recover some of the fatigue I and Goro deliver the 8 soul stones of the slimes that he brought in a bag. Once we receive the rewards, I take my card from the three on the balcony.
"I'm going home now, see you a different day Goro, take care of your friends."
"Take care Iris, thank you for everything, if you need us, we're living at the church."
"Sure, I'll keep that in mind, feel free to visit if you still want the classes."
I walk away from my new friend, and as I pass by Kaito to check on him, Yuno notices me slapping my right cheek, and yells, "how dare you do this to Kaito!?"
Notice: 10 health has been deducted.
An evil voice unlike any other speaks in my mind,' kill this filthy bitch who dares to hit us after saving that piece of trash.'
I raise my hand at her and an icicle grows from my hand, all the way to the wall of the guild grazing her cheek, startling everyone who stares at us without saying anything.
Notice: 500 mana has been deducted.
She looks at the bleeding in her perfect face while turning the face around to see how far the ice went terrified, then slowly back at me and I glare at her making tears fall down the girl's cheek. Without saying a word I walk off and head to the entrance while the icicle falls on the floor shattering into a million pieces.
An adorable voice speaks in my mind,' how can they be so ungrateful to us?'
'Humans can be like that... just like Aurora once told me...'
The adorable voice replies,' at least Goro was thankful and friendly.'
An evil voice replies,' we'll see till when.'
A demonic voice echoes in mad laughter.
I head home with my card and the little money I got from all that, as I walk home I bump into someone and the sound of something falling is made on the ground. I look at the sound source and notice a woman with long black braided hair all the way to her ass and a beautiful face.
"Are you okay? I'm truly sorry I didn't see you," I extend her hand and upon grabbing it I pull her to me.
'Just how strong is this kid? I actually flew to the ground.'
"I'm alright, and it is normal that you didn't notice me," the woman smiled beautifully.
"Really? How come?"
"I can turn invisible, in fact, I'm bored. Just came from a scouting mission, would you perhaps care to play a game?" I notice her eyes full of expectation.
"Sure! Something bad just happened not that long ago, so some fun would be entertaining," I reply without hesitation making her smile.

"I'll go into stealth and if you can guess what direction of you I'm in, I'll give you a reward."
I smile innocently at her and nod, and then she vanished. I do a whole turn around me and don't notice her,' now then what should I do?'
A charming voice resounds in my mind,' spread your mana and sense that woman, she can't possibly dare to be more attractive than me.'
'Feeling jealous? How cute.'
I let out a giggle and then close my eyes, extending my mana around me as fast as I can noticing that it hit some sort of wall in one of the sides. I turn that way and point saying, "you're there!"
Her stealth wore off and she started clapping, 'didn't expect this little kid to use mana like that, so young and already a prodigy, too bad you're a peasant and have no future.'
I extend my hand towards her while smiling and the sunlight reflects on the white ring surprising her.
'Hum? Why does this kid have that ring?'
Looking at me her lips open, "Hey, why do you have that in your finger?"
"You mean this ring? It was a gift from my friend Alicia."
'Is this the blonde girl that has been going to the crown prince lately? Guess they'll be making trouble with Alfred and the white rose family soon if they really intend to go forward with their plan.'
'So innocent and quite talented too... What a waste. Perhaps I should snatch her to my daughter instead, that way I could spare some pain from this kid while getting my daughter someone talented.'
"Say are you willing to become a knight of my house?"
"Your house? Who are you?"
She takes out something and shows me a pink ring," my daughter could use someone talented like you, and there's a chance you won't be selected by the white house."
"Is that my reward?" I ask curiously as my happy face turns rather dull.
"Yes, exactly!" She replies happily enough for both of us.
"Didn't the successors chose their knights?" I ask her confused knowing that's what I was told.
"Normally yes, but my daughter is stuck at home training all day, every day, and when she's not, well people are silently dying during the night."
"Oh..." I remember Alicia sharing that same fate while ignoring the later part, as it didn't make much sense.
"I'll tell you what I said to my friend, I have no intention of becoming a knight I just want to get stronger," I reply with convicted eyes bring a smile to her.
"Perfect! You ought to be strong otherwise you'd be useless."
The woman places the ring in my finger faster than I could react," keep improving then, we'll be sure to meet in the future," she vanished turning invisible.
'She was fast, I couldn't keep up at all, didn't even see her hands moving, seems like I truly do have a gigantic path ahead of me.'
I look at my hand having two rings now, 'they're kind of cute especially the pink one, though the white one is more important to me.'
'At this pace, I'll be having one of each in no time,' I laugh at my own silly ideas ending up feeling a bit happier, forgetting about the accident with Yuno.
The adorable voice adds,' They really do fit you master, beautiful rings for a perfectly good looking Iris.'
'Thank you for the compliment, I suppose,' I blush a bit as I walk home.
※※※
In the east forest where Iris has been with Goro and Kaito, a turtler alone was grieving for his fellow family members who were murdered by the humans not that long ago.
He had stayed for a longer time than the rest as those four in specific were his parents and sisters.
'That ice blonde user, curse her for killing my family, curse her, curse her, curse her! I hope she dies in a way 10 times worse than my own kin, with 100 times more pain!'
'May the gods bring her the despair I feel today, may her heart be tainted by the sorrow of today.'
'Just because they ran into our territory, and my sister self defended herself from being hit by one of those human weapons.'
'That man who started this, Kaito was it? I hope he dies too, and that big one too.'
'I pray to the gods that all humans die, be cursed, be destroyed, if only I had the power to do it myself...'
The turtler then starts hearing a whisper close to the ear telling him to feed off his family, and afterward, upon doing as he's told ate the four corpses and their soul stones altogether. This time he heard a different voice that was a bit more familiar to him.
System: You have been granted an evolution by the goddess Luna.
After some hours the body started growing triple the size 180 centimeters big and he returned to the rest of the turtlers becoming their chief swearing revenge towards the humans, and using telepathy to induce rage and fury.
'We shall become stronger, every single one of you, and trample upon those nasty humans!'
'Just you three wait! I'll eat you all next! No matter what I have to do to achieve it!'
'May this blessing, provided by the beasts mother allow me to deliver my vengeance.'

Mistakes Lead To Success
Mistakes were made and it led to the death of Natalie Freemen. Her soul was captured and cared for by an young god but such protection come with a cost. Instead of taking the original offer she decided to make a deal. She would rome the multiverse and steal the essence that thrives them. In return she could become a demigod. Updates at random Romance is not the focus but a major plot point. I will take suggestions and corrective criticism. *Important Note* This makes for sense as you read along. This story is created by the viewer but there is a twist. Some chapters are static, meaning that it is to propel the plot. Others have polls that will affect other chapters but without a question. This means you don't know what it effects or in which chapter. I wanted to added this effect to create a suspense, something I didn't feel as much in other reader interactive stories. Your vote could create fortune or misfortune for the main character. I know what it will effect because have a chart that tells me the possible routes. You just have to wait and see what your choice have done. I'll even write which poll effects the chapter in the authors note. Characters could die in the story and they won't be leads anymore. In comments you can ask for a detail chart for each poll but it will only be for one answer per poll. I will chose the most requested answer. I do not own the photo.
