《Ninth World Lia's Struggle》ch 22
Advertisement
As I opened my eyes I could feel my body slightly sore. No wonder really, I pushed myself really hard back then and hey am still alive so it was worth it. Looking around I realise I was no longer in the infirmary. Instead what I saw was a wooden room, it wasn’t big either maybe three by four meters? The bed wasn’t that comfortable either. It is quite hard and bumpy too but it’s still better than the floor. There is a small window right beside the bed. On the other side, there is a door and a closet. Listening carefully I can hear voices from behind the door.
The voices sound familiar and I can make a guess of who they belong to. Carefully I stood up and walked toward the door. As I walked the voices became clearer and so did my guess. I opened the door with as much tact as I could so they wouldn’t notice, however, the door had another idea. With a loud and continuous squeaking sound the door opened. On the other side of the room there were two people sitting with drinks in hand. They are Dan and Lizz just as I had guessed.
In an instant, Lizz lunged towards me. Her face contorted into a crying one with some snot flying around. I was confused for a second as I received her in my arms. It took a while to calm her down but I didn’t care. It looks like she was truly worried about me. When she finally calmed down we sat in the desk where Dan began explaining what had happened after I lost consciousness.
Dan had taken me to his and Lizz’s house after forcing Oliver to do first aid on me. After that Diana woke up the next day and trashed the infirmary or at least tried. Her wounds weren’t fully healed so she had to calm herself down or she would end up making her wounds worse. After that, she forced Oliver to tell her everything and confronted Dan and Lizz. They argued with her for a long time until she gave in.
The rest was about the two waiting anxiously for me to wake up for the following two days. In other words, I have been unconscious for the last three days if we don’t count the day I got knocked out. Now that I think about it, for Dan and Lizz it wasn’t only three days. I had disappeared into the dungeon for a week and then spent five days unconscious in the infirmary. When I woke up it was three more days in the infirmary recuperating. After that, I fought with Diana and went into another three-day coma.
No wonder Lizz was so worried and cried so much. I gave have a warm small which she reciprocated. After apologising for making them worry the conversation continued. Thanks to Dan and Lizz’s efforts Diana is willing to compromise. Because of this, I will have to go confront her later. I should do so as soon as I woke up, in other words right now but I don’t feel like it. Our fight was too fresh in my mind and I wanted to relax a little before talking to her. Because of this, I spent the rest of the day leisurely with Dan and Lizz.

We went around town eating stuff and talking about this and that. I also asked them about the house they where living in. Dan told me he had bought it with their money but they rarely used it. That explains why it looks old and a bit decrepit. Lizz told me she wanted to refurbish it and make it nice and cosy. However, Dan never let her since it would be a waste of money. I laughed a bit at their antics. I already knew was stingy but I never knew it was to this extent.
Now that I think about it, they make a good pair. I mentioned this to them and in an instant, both blushed and looked away from each other. Looks like I hit the nail in the head. Lizz might like to fool around with people she likes, but in the end, she has real feelings for Dan. On the other hand, Dan may look compose, even stoic at times but he also has a thing for Lizz. Its time for revenge! I will tease Lizz until her head becomes tomato red!
We continued walking around while talking and joking. From time to time, we would buy different foods at food carts and Dan would make a pained expression. I am really glad that these two were the first I met in this world. Even though I have experienced a few hardships here and there, moments like these make everything worth it. By the end of the day, we had spent quite a bit of money on different things.
Food and drink were one of the things we spent the most. However, it wasn’t the only one. Lizz dragged me into a clothing shop and we bought some clothes there. Mostly dresses, from the looks of it, Lizz was using me as an excuse to spend money on things she wanted. The dresses we bought weren’t that expensive though. The ones Lizz bought for herself were long, almost touching the floor. Most of them had soft purples and pinks, giving them a cute childish look.
On the other hand, the ones she forced me to buy were a bit too revealing for my taste. A black long one-piece, with a cut at the side that reached all the way up to my waist! Not only that, but it also had a V-cut at the back that went all the way down to my waist too! And the V-cut in the front went down just above my belly button! I am a hundred percent sure this is revenge for teasing her! Drowning the cries of complaint that had formed in my heart I looked at the second dress and could only sight.
The second dress was a bright crimson red. The skirt was short, too short. It barely covered anything! And the V-cuts from the front and back were the same as the first one! Too much skin exposure. Not to mention my assets in the breast department are almost none existent. I have nothing to show! Why are you doing this to me you little demon!

The worst thing about the whole ordeal were her eyes. They held mischief in them as she looked at me in those dresses. I could only feel danger from such a gaze. I think I even caught her licking her lips once! Lizz, I don’t know if you are teasing me or you really swing that way but please spare poor old me. It didn’t happen and she used every chance she got to touch my exposed skin in a teasing manner, she is truly the worst.
After we left the clothing store, we went to weapons, shield and armour store. This was Dan’s suggestion and so we ended up touring a few. Since each one of us already had good enough equipment we didn’t buy anything. However, we did enjoy looking at the different weapons and armour. Especially so for the ones of a well-known store called Molten-core. It had extravagant armours with some questionable designs too. The same goes for their weapon collection, that had every single kind of weapon you can think of.
Well, that store mostly deals with nobles and the like and for that reason its supper expensive while having average performance. They mostly focus on the visual side of things and not so much in the usefulness of their products. However, it does make a great sightseeing place for us commoners.
When we finished touring the shops the sun was about to set giving the sky a nice orange hue. We walked back towards Dan and Lizz’s house while buying something to eat once again. Why am I not staying at the in I normally do? Well, Dan explained to me that one of the conditions Diana had placed for staying calm was to have both of them accompany me until I meet her.
When we reached their house Lizz walked in front of me with her mischievous expression on. I could feel a shiver running down my spine as cold sweat began forming on my back and forehead. I am not sure why but I felt danger like never before when looking at her. Something within me was screaming for me to scape at all cost but at the same time, I couldn’t move a single muscle as she began speaking.
“Amelia, since there are only two rooms in the house you will be sleeping with my like we have been doing for the past few days”
She said those words with a purr and then it hit me. She had been sleeping with me when I was unconscious! That shiver, the horror had been ingrained in my poor body. I looked at Dan to try and find a way to scape however he simply ignored me. In the next instant, Lizz took my hand and dragged me to her room. She didn’t apply any force to it but I felt as if I could never resist that weak pull.
Inside the room, Lizz pulled out the dresses she had forced me to buy and held them in front of me. Her smile told me everything I needed to know. She wanted me to wear one right now, that would be my sleeping garments. With a shaky hand I chose the black one, that one at the very least cover more, even if just a little.
I changed, and so did she. Unlike me, she had some shorts made of a soft fabric alongside a sleeveless shirt that was too big for her. Once again her she smiled at me, her eyes held a deeper meaning I could never be able to decipher. This was still payback for the teasing I had done before.
“Amelia, this is payback. I hope you are willing to receive your punishment”
She gave me a slight push but that was enough to make me fall onto the bed. After that, she crawled on top of me as she caressed my exposed thigh with her left hand. I swear I saw her eyes glowing at that moment as she touched held my waist with her right hand and softly planted a kisses on the exposed parts of my chest up to neck bone where she rested her head. I didn’t resist, I simply couldn’t. Not to mention it felt kind of good. Things didn’t go too far after that. She just caressed my tight with the tip of her fingers as she heard my heartbeat. With a glance, I understood she wanted us to sleep like this and I couldn’t do anything else but comply. I hugged her and after a while, we fell asleep.

This isn't my first attempt at writing a story, and it isn't even my first attempt at writing this particular story, but I'm not in any way what I would call "experienced". I decided to upload my writing here because I just wanted to get my ideas out there, and I wanted to get some constructive criticism for my writing from the RRL community. All comments are welcome, but please try to keep them positive and constructive! If you leave a rating, I would appreciate it if you left a short explanation of what you liked and what I can improve on. I'll be uploading each chapter as I finish them, but this is still the first draft so anything and everything is subject to change. The cover art is drawn by me, but I'm in no way married to it. I just wanted something that showed the three magical sources, as I picture them in my head. If you do any art based on this story, send it to me! I would love to see it. I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy the story!
