《The Dark Star Emperors》Chapter 41: Plain Sight
Advertisement
Jack, Mary, and Yune walked away from the funeral. They each gave their best shot at looking the part. And luckily for them, Anne and Nina were full of grief to think hard about Kira's death.
When they got back home, they all sighed and relaxed themselves.
"Looks like everything went according to plan," Mary said.
"Yeah. I was having doubts, but it looks like we did it," Jack replied, "Mary, I forgot to ask you, but were you serious about doing all that with that Harry kid?"
"What? No. Of course not. He looks so boring. There would be no fun in it," Mary replied.
Jack sighed and replied, "Sure. Well, as long as you didn't actually do anything."
"I'm trying. One step at a time," Mary replied.
Yune sat quietly contemplating.
Jack asked Yune, "What's the problem? This was all your plan, Yune. Are you having second thoughts?"
Mary laughed and said, "Hah! I wouldn't have expected you to come up with something for hiding a body. I always thought you were the nicest one of us, Yune. Guess looks can be deceiving."
"No. I'm not having any doubts, but it just feels familiar," Yune said as she rubbed her temples, "It doesn't matter. I don't think there is anything there that could link it back to us, but just make sure not to spill anything."
Back on that night after Kira was killed, Yune was the one who came up with the plan for what to do with the body.
Jack suggested that they just leave her there. But Yune and Mary were smart enough to know that Nina and Anne would automatically suspect them of committing the crime. So, Yune came up with a plan to hide their actions. They weren't worried about the police, but more worried about Anne and Nina.

She needed to put the blame on another party, and the Night Demons were the perfect choice. There was already one black coin laying there, but Yune felt that one wouldn't be enough. They summoned the shopkeep and asked to withdraw four black coins from Mary's reserve pile. He was hesitant about giving up black coins, but gave them anyways. They laid them on the ground around the field.
Yune also asked the shopkeep to say that Kira was killed by Night Demons if asked. However, to do this, Mary had to pay at least 200 black coins. And even if she did, if Anne and Nina managed to pay more than 200, then the shopkeep would no doubt betray them. So, reluctantly, Mary gave up 200 black coins from her reserve pile.
By the end of that transaction, Mary was upset that her pile of saved black coins was getting drained.
Jack, then, felt that the body was not destroyed enough to look like she was massacred by five Night Demons, so she stepped on the body and kicked it around a bit more.
After that, Yune felt that the whole field needed to look like a battlefield. She also knew that their footprints would need to be erased. So to fix two problems, she and the other two girls started to destroy the environment randomly. Trees fell. The ground and dirt was uplifted. They kept doing this until the whole field looked like a a tornado came by it.
And to make sure they wouldn't leave any more footprints, Yune made sure that each of them would move by dashing across the treetops.
The part that Yune felt would have been difficult was to make sure their condolences looked sincere. As soon as they got home that night, they all took a shower and cleaned the dirt off their bodies. Then, Yune made sure they practiced their lines until she thought they were perfect. And to make sure that they all had the same story. If anybody asked, they were all at home together that day. If they needed witnesses, Mary could use her powers to convince somebody to say they saw them at home.

They practiced until Yune felt that they were perfect. Or at least until Mary fell asleep. But, fortunately for Yune, she thought that they were ready enough. And so her plan was set forward. And it seemed to work.
The blame was set on the Night Demons, and Anne and Nina didn't think it was any different.

46 Year Old Syndrome
The daily Litrpg journal of a fairly average 46 year old man in a world where hundreds of thousands of people suddenly have a super power.Follow him as he learns skills, runs away a lot, suffers crippling headaches, avoids reading his titles, and tries to avoid breaking his body that didn't get enough calcium and vegetables.[Disclaimer 1: Despite the following, I will fix any typos pointed out. This is a writing exercise so chapters are mostly first drafts, otherwise I'd end up rewriting each chapter for a month or more with no real changes. My goals are a steady output by not using perfectionism as a procrastination method. I've already got laziness and additions to reading/games, I don't need a 3rd reason to procrastinate.][Disclaimer 2: The main character is a more normalized version of me, with 170% less laziness installed, and a few buffs like greater courage. Other things like having a job are partially similar. No other characters are based on real people because most people I know are either too normal to be useful or too fucked in the head to be believable.]

Re:Mento Mori
When Ryuji, a disgruntled salaryman, is supposed to reach an unfortunate end, he is instead thrust into a new world, inhabiting a body that isn't his own. Forced into a world filled with strife and death, can he claim freedom and happiness? Or will his turbulent new life only lead to suffering and pain? As with every time-loop story written by an amateur author, this is heavily inspired by Re:Zero. If I had to explain my book, I would say imagine Re:Zero, but the main character can actually fight people instead of just getting merked every time he meets someone with a weapon. The themes of this story are dark, so be forewarned. This is my first story so keep that in mind while reading it.
