《Kindred》Chapter 68 - Miss... Just What is That Annoying Man Doing?
Advertisement
We enter the White Turtle building.
I got carried in by Miss.
She wouldn't let me down for some reason.
I, it's not like I wanted to get carried by Miss or anything.
As soon as I enter, I'm greeted with a fragrant smell.
A soup?
Yes, it smells similar to the soup the other maids often cook for Miss's father.
But... the smell here is... stronger? Richer?
It smells better. It makes me feel light-headed.
Everyone goes upstairs with Miss in the lead.
She then goes to a room at the end of a long corridor.
When Miss opens the door, a strong, ferocious aura rushes towards me.
This aura is so cold it's making me shiver. I feel my teeth clattering.
"Oh, you are finally here. Ahaha~" A nervous voice suddenly greets us.
I separate my head from Miss's bosom and look towards the voice as it seemed familiar.
"Awu!" It's Mister Marco!
... But, why does he look so frightened?
Drops of sweat are flowing down his forehead.
"Ahaha... Sweety, nice to see you again... haha..." He nervously? greets me.
"Hee... Sweety, huh... I thought you said that I were the only one you call Sweety?" Suddenly, a mocking, cold voice scolds Mister Marco.
When I look towards that voice...
... When I look towards that voice...
... Look towards that voice...
I get smitten.
This person...
Has a certain charm that makes me want to keep looking at her.
The contrast between her cute facial features and her rough way of speaking is...
... Somewhat cute.
Her personality resembles Miss's.
However, Miss facial features are sharp, every piece falls to the right place.
This person standing in front of me... she looks cute. Like a doll carved by a grandmaster.
Hmm...
If I think about it carefully...
... Is this a gathering of demons?

The Demonic Prince.
The foul-mouthed cutie.
The greatest maid in the world.
The hard to figure out and possibly very scary Miss.
Ah...
There are people who look out-of-place.
The trembling Prince.
The sweating Mister.
The happy-go-lucky maid.
And me.
Elder Sister Sand, this is like the story about the cowardly hero party who assaulted the Great Demon King's lair.
How exciting!
I look around with a smile.
"Drake." Suddenly, the most annoying voice in the world resounds around the room.
"Yes!" Prince Shiyu immediately answers.
Tch.
Prince Si would be much cooler if he didn't open his mout-
Ei, Latifa! You can't talk like that about royalty.
Do you want to become a victim of the heaven's wrath?!
Uuu...
"Speak." Prince Si says coldly.
"About what?" Prince Shiyu tilts his head in confusion.
Even though Prince Si is talking so seriously...
... Why does he keep stealing glances at Miss?
"Where were you just now!" Prince Si shouts.
"A candy shop...?" Prince Shiyu answers timidly.
Bang!
"Guhaaa!"
Prince Shiyu suddenly drops on the floor with foam around his mouth.
"Still lying!" Prince Si shouts coldly.
His eyes making rounds between Prince Shiyu wiggling on the ground and Miss.
Miss... Just what is that annoying man doing?

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
