-Crain Village-

Carnival watched the trees rustle and shift as if strong winds were blowing through them. Rocks floated in the air paying no mind to gravity as Jester floated above the ground. Gaze set on the three gems floating around her hand. Each glowing with a sickly aura around them.

Carnival felt something move behind her back, turning just enough to see, the figure cloaked in the shadows of the forest. Even with their eyes covered by the mask, they could clearly see the glare sent their way. Though it only brought a smile to Carnival's lips, not a word dare be spoken between them. They both know the moment either said a word, the calm winds would stop.

Carefully contemplating each decision with the minds of master chess players. Both of them on two different sides and ideas about how the world should be. With limited if not god-like power to subtly change the world around them. For far worse of all creatures around them if Carnival wasn’t careful.

The tension in the air was thick between them, Jester would make a move soon it would begin again. Another miner duel to slow jester’s plans. Begrudgingly carnival couldn’t help but smirk in excitement under there mask. As she tried to anticipate the shadow's next move.

“Really! Making me go first again how defensive of you. Did the last move hurt your plans so much? All I did was mislabel a returned package.~” Carnival taunted her tone, filled with glee. Receiving a glare at the jab increasing jesters aggravation.

The silent wind stopped in the stillness the jester raised her shadowy hand. The air Flowed by an unseen force dented the ground rushing forward [Telekinetic blast].

With a wave of Carnival's hand [psionic shield], the force meets the barrier as violet wind both forces struggling to dominate the other, as the attacking force failed to pass through the barrier fading. “My so angry, and here I thought you might be happy. I saved E-Rental from that rocked head minotaur you picked up.”

“Which is not the real reason you came out here. I know what you're trying to do with Momonga and the vampire!” Jester kept moving around the shadows. Carnival not losing track of jester once in her full view of the clearing.

“Maybe, but you can’t stop me without giving me another move.” Carnival reminded the shadow Smirking as they stopped slowly, turning their head to glare at her. Carnival could sense the dark smirk under jester’s mask.

“True, but then I have the Advantage on the next move, and you still haven’t gotten in yet.” At this carnival frowned, unable to dispute the point. Jester still forgot how vengeful that old vampire could be, Smirking under her mask.

“This won’t last much longer your little group of revolutionary fools can’t stay hidden much longer. Not after this next play, I set up.” Carnival Shifting to raise another [psionic shield] blocking another attack. Before thrusting out a hand [solar rays] as light filtered into the woods with a hiss, the shadow blurred before vanishing.

“Don’t think you can change what will happen; you may have delayed it, but nothing can change his destiny,” Jester screamed out before totally vanishing. A peaceful silence returned to the clearing. Carnival took in the view of the village walls sadly smiling.

‘If only I hadn’t been so foolish, then none of this would be necessary.’ There was no going back carnival learned the hard way. Lowering her head, noticing Bull stomping up, Cleary displeased with what was happening. ‘Too bad, you picked the wrong side. You should have just moved on after your defeat.’

Jester adapted her playful voice again as if to mock him. “~Sooo, how’s my little min'o' Bull doing today?~” Carnival suppressed her laughter as he dropped the bag of items. Leaning closer, she was glad she could read behind the masks so well.

“This isn’t over, Jester when we get back, you will pay for all of this. MARK. MY. WORDS. here's your crap.” Turning to leave but stopping as chains just appeared around him. with a pull of her arms, the illusion forcefully turned the minotaur around to face her.

“OH, how cruel of you, and here I thought we could be friends. Though first, you have to survive to get back.~?” Jester shifting her head oddly. Seeing the air of fear roll off Bull, mixing with his anger, he must be scarlet faced under the mask.

“What is this supposed to mean you can’t just kill me!” Bull roars out while Jester just chuckled.

“Oh, you will see in due time. Just watch your step. Now, why don’t we head back.”

Jester turns her gaze to see the pharmacist and the new village chief walking up to them.

-Cemetery in E-Rental-

Clementine glanced at Kyuketsuki again with a strange sense of discomfort as they walked through the tunnels. Past the collection of zombies who were raised by Khajiit. She found joy in seeing the hollow, empty faces of adventures, guards, and the like. It had been far more fun over the past couple of days then she expected with no end of targets to kill.

An angry scowl came over Clementine’s lips. “We aren't done yet right, no matter what the fool Khajiit said? You could let me kill him.” she sang out, hoping to gain Kyuketsuki-sama approval. ‘Why do I need his approval again? I could just aghh.’

Grasping at her head, Clementine felt something try to emerge but vanished just as quickly by the soft touch of the vampire's armored hand touching her shoulder. Looking up into those bright red eyes seemed to flash red though it was probably just a trick of the light.

“Are you alright, my dear? You seemed distressed for a moment.” Kyuketsuki’s voice purred into her ears.

“Ugh, fine now, please remove the hand before you lose it.” Clementine sang out with a teasing grin, not too serious about the threat. Though this seemed odd for some reason. Didn’t she usually mean every bodily threat she spoke? After thinking about it and finding no reasoning for such a weird train of thought. She let the matter vanish from her mind altogether.

Kyuketsuki just smiled something which, if Clementine was honest, unsettled her greatly. The madness which brought a sense of dread to her thoughts would be rude to say after all the fun he allowed her. So, she continued to follow him deeper into the tunnels.

‘How big are these tunnels anyway?’ clementine contemplated watching Kyuketsuki wondering why he was so quiet.

“To your earlier question, my dear, Khajiit will die when I say so no sooner. Besides, I have something you will enjoy to death.” Watching the back of Kyuketsuki's head. Hearing the way, he said death set off warning signs. Clementine casually watches as Kyuketsuki pulled out a large flask with a small hand size gem init. Which made clementine take notice. The only thing illuminating the caverns was the ominous mixture.

“Would you kindly drink this you will need it for this next part.”

Clementine’s hands hesitated to take the concoction from Kyuketsuki as if some part of her was screaming not to take it. Fearing what would happen if she drank. Which only further confused her straining against herself. Willing her arms to take the glowing bobbling concoction.

Popping off the cork as the almost toxic fumes invaded her lungs. Despite the smell, she brought the heavy drink to her lips, the unpleasant taste on her tongue. Unwilling to disobey lord Kyuketsuki’s watchful gaze staring deep into those comforting eyes before drinking it all down. Eyes tightly closed as the agonizing pain filled her body, dropping to her knees.

Clementine let out a gut-wrenching scream of pain, Eyes snapping open to glare at this lying backstabber. The red rings around her eyes vanished. Grunting out curses writhing on the ground. “How I have barriers from the slain theocracy?” Clementine struggled to get the words out. Her heart racing as she fought to get air into her lungs, it felt like she was dying seeing the ground around them crack letting out beams of blinding crimson light. Filling her vision as the cracks spread out around her.

Kyuketsuki kneeled to look her right in the eyes though they were not the kind eyes she knew before now filled with longing and madness. “It doesn't matter; I know this will work. You will give me Jade back. Though I must thank you, Clementine, you have been a great help to me. This is the end for you, sadly. Nothing personal, but it is not healthy for two souls to inhabit one body!”

His voice seemed to echo throughout the large cavern as the blinding light seemed to obscure everything around them. Clementine was screaming out as the ground beneath her shattered sinking deeper into an endless sea of red filled with memories and faces of all those she had killed or seen before.

Haunting her with her parent's eyes as if mocking her knowing she would never be better than her brother. Even after joining the black script.

Clementine was cursing her inability to prevent this, struggling in vain to grab on to something anything. ‘I won't end like this, you bastard. You think I will take this lying down. I’m Clementine!’ screaming in her mind with her mouth refusing to open. Lest she drowns in this blood-red sea.

Laughter filled the red sea as she frantically scans around to find the source. “Would you like to fight this I can help.”

Clementine gritted her teeth, glaring at nothing but these infuriating memories around her. ‘Yeah, like I'm falling for a trick!’

“Fine, then have it your way. Quick question, have you looked at your legs?” The many-layered voice asked. Curiously she glanced at her legs only to stop paling in terror her feet already vanishing before her eyes, climbing up to her knees.

‘No! No! No! This can’t be happening?!’ Letting out a silent scream unsure what to do; however, if she didn't stop this now, she wouldn’t exist anymore. She could feel it in her corrupted heart.

“Do you want my help now, or am I un-trustable still?” The voice chuckled as if her disappearing was funny. Clementine growls as bubbles escaped her lips. ‘Fine just help me already!’ she growled out.

…

Kyuketsuki stood in the confined room as the changing mist swarmed around them violently, he watched Clementine still body with anticipation. Now clad in a dark bodysuit with red armor for her chest and waist similar to what she had before; however, it was not made out of adventure plates instead now forged armor far sturdier and more enchanted to be far more useful. Already the assassin hair had started to change to a deep red as, a tail bursting from her rear, her nails had grown into sharp claws. Her skin began to lose its color, becoming almost colorless blue.

‘Odd? As long as I have jade back, it doesn’t matter what she looks like.’

A ghost of a smile graced his face. ‘Good it is working finally I can...halting as Clementine’s body started to spasm. Clementine’s hair was fusing into shoulder-length tentacles. The tail halting it change, staying a thin, spaded tail.

“No, what's wrong! This should be working!” Sitabus balled his hands into fists, unable to stop this. Trying to think of what he had done wrong. Glaring at the assassin spasming body.

…

Pulling up an arm to keep the fogy mist out of his eyes as it blasted back. Blinking opening his eyes to see the body sitting up eye slowly opening landing on him with an empty look. Sitabus felt like a deer in the headlights. Unsure if it worked, seeing the fanged mouth as she yawned stretching out her arms.

“Hello, Master, where are we! The potion tasted horrible. Also, where are my stilettos?” She asked even as her hands felt around for them on her person.

‘I can’t tell which personality she is… is this Jade, right? It has to be!’ Reassuring himself still, the doubtful fear lingered. Heart heavy with unease yet taking a careful step forward, keeping a neutral face. “Tell me what your name is first, and I can fill you in.”

Clementine's face didn’t show any sign of disdain for him or lies. Only a warm smile graced her lips. ‘why does that grin seem weird?’ He asked himself, waiting for the answer ready to attack if need be.

“Why Clementine coin, of course, who else would I be?” Clementine purred out, confused by the question, her hands playing with her slithering tentacle hair. Missing the complete look of despair in his hollow eyes or the angry scowl, which grew over his lips.

Kyuketsuki’s Hands tightening around the spear. Resisting the urge to murder her here and now, ‘Easily fixed I can just try again maybe it will work better if I through her whole body in ...’ The scowl remained even as the rage cooled into resolved crazed, murderous eyes — harsh gaze piercing into Clementine.

“Uh…is something wrong master? Is my current form displeasing? I can’t quite remember what happened after the battle did, I die what are these other memories?”

Kyuketsuki, hearing this broken small voice, stared deep into Clementine’s faltering face downcast eyes with a sad pout. Seeing only one thing in her a simple wish to bring joy to him and upset that she was failing with her appearance alone. Sitabus felt a painful discomfort in his gut at a face only his jade could make. Could he really kill her knowing it was his failure! He made the super tire magic potion; if he messed up or forgotten even one small variable, it could be the factor that made it fail.

He could try this three more times, but if he didn’t kill clementine now, how would this affect a second try? In Yggdrasil, NPCs like Clementine should have simply died even if it didn’t work.

“Why is nothing working as it should.” Sitabus glares at the ground with frustration and fury with no target to take it out on. Seeing Clementine’s innocent look, Kyuketsuki couldn’t. Not now, after all the trouble he had gone through. Turning away to punch the cavern wall as it caved under the force. Angrily huffing as the dust settled, concealing his rage. ‘Why can’t I bring you back?!’

“Master what's wrong; you seemed distressed! Has someone hurt you if so tell me so I can murder them slowly for your entertainment!” Clementine's voice moves right behind kyuketsuki, hugging his back. Glancing back to see the purely loving and worried face only further drove home the painful truth; this was neither Clementine nor Jade.

This was someone born from a melding of both personalities; it would be easy to kill it. Doing so would not change the fact Kyuketsuki’s last resort had failed….

Sitabus struggled to control his wild emotion-filled pants resisting the murderous rage inside his heart. Kyuketsuki only managed to calm his breathing after several minutes of trembling with wrath. Sitabus did not trust himself to move around Clementine coin lest his blood rage consumes his rational mind. Battling fiercely with his heart to contain the monstrous fury. Sought to be free and erase his failure until it was little more than a bloodstain on the cavern walls, then use said bloodstain to try again.

Turning to this new person with a calm face, not showing any emotion as Clementine’s mismatched red and blue eyes tracked his every move. Clementine Refusing to let go as if he would vanish if she did. “kyuketsuki-sama?”

He carefully Reaches out an armored hand on to her head, rubbing the strange soft tentacles mixed blonde and crimson hair? Sighing, at last, Sitabus buried his rage under shame. “It doesn't matter. Let's just go. We have work to do.” His voice was soft and hollow, almost sounding lost as Kyuketsuki moves past the confused assassin. Clementine rushed up to take his hand. Like they did before jade’s last battle, gently squeezing Kyuketsuki’s hand with a tender smile and a blush dusting her cheeks.

“OH yes, I believe these are yours.” Sitabus hands over Clementine's stilettos, which to his surprise, her hair moved to take without missing a beat wrapping around them and securing them to her belt without even having to look.

As if noticing his gaze, Clementine purred leaning closer into his side. “Do you like the new hair due Kyuketsuki-sama.” Meeting those mismatching eyes filled with devotion, it almost brought tears to his eyes.

-Kyuketsuki-

Dejected Kyuketsuki scanned over the outside of the residents of Lissize Bareare. Clementine licked her lips with a hunger Kyuketsuki had seen before. Sighing this would take some normalizing.

Walking up to the building, it appeared to be empty. Kyuketsuki knew they would arrive soon, so he would have to move quickly. Raising his hand to the door flicking some blood on to the handle as it hissed melting the door lock

'Better to be safe than sorry.'

[disenchantment level 10]

A glow came over the door before vanishing, pushing the door open, looking back at the group of hooded figures behind him and Clementine. "Aright Kathrin your part will start once the undead break through the gates the rest of you don't get captured and remember, don't kill them unless absolutely necessary."

Bowing, they all disappeared into the night, leaving him and Clementine alone in the darkness of the street. Looking over the place before him smiling. 'Perfect not only can I learn about how this world's alchemy works. I can gain favor with this shop after I take out Khajiit unless he gets killed first.'

Kyuketsuki Walked through the front into the back, going over the shelves and large tanks in the room truly a great place to study alchemy.

"What shall I do master while we wait."

Turning to look at the glowing eyes of the assassin sighing, trying to calm his restless mental state. His emotionless mind trying to puzzle out what made a super tier potion fail. ‘What went wrong, was it the ingredient or just the magic not working like in Yggdrasil?’

He was not too worried once the undead attacked only adamite adventures would be able to even make a dent in his plan. With the fourteen elder litchs and the [army of undead], he summoned had practically guaranteed only his team would be capable of “breaking through.” Ensuring his team instilment as Adamantite adventures, which was perfect for his future goals.

‘It is fine even if you are not here, Jade, your sacrifice will not be forgotten. Neither shall I grow so complacent again.’ Even the words did not lift the pain which lingered. It was eased by Clementine’s loving touch on his shoulder. Helping him push the dark thoughts down.

Even now, he could hear the voice in his head, whispering to end this fake Jade. No, he would not kill his family; he lost one. He would not lose another. Besides, this was just the price of his failure to bear the weight of it by ensuring; Ritana’s and Kathrin’s hard work didn’t go to waste.

Kyuketsuki grips the strange red glowing rock in his hand before turning back to answer. "It's fine. Clementine be ready to act when they arrive here. be sure to use the ring, we can’t have the real you recognized in this mess."

Obediently nodding before putting on the ring as her tail and appearance changed to look like her old form. Those eyes gave away the bitter truth. No matter how much he longed to see Jade again. It felt like a dream staying just out of reach.

This Didn't stop his doubts from popping up. If he had screwed up, maybe it was still possible. Sitabus shaking his head, there was nothing he could do now focusing his thoughts on something he forgot to ask in the catacombs.

“Tell me something, Clem-chan. What did you see when you went through my [harmonizing condition: corruption]?” His blood-red eye seeing through the dark as Clementine turned to him.

Meeting his piercing gaze with an unsure look. “Oh is hard to explain as I don’t remember it too clearly. Though I do remember this much."

Flashback

Clementine dropped out of the endless sea of red filled with memories dropping on to something though it was hard to make out. What the hard-cold surface was with no light illuminating the void. Glancing around, pulling out her stiletto’s muscles tense relaxing into a low stance.

“Now what? You think this will be enough to stop me. Once I’m out of here, I will kill YOU do you hear me. Bloodsucker, this won’t keep me down forever.” Her angry ranting into nothingness was interrupted. Dodging to the right as a strange chain shot past her looking over to see the attacker. Wearing a maid outfit with some light armor on top, with two chains in each hand both spinning around at untraceable speeds with red hair and some snake tail. Horns were jetting from her red-skinned forehead.

“Oh, what do we have here you want to die first.” Clementine glared at this attacker Jade; the name flashed in her mind.

“Oh, you want a piece of me, didn’t anyone tell you I don’t play nice!” With a sing-song voice, she charged, pushing her body to close the gap between them. Jumping over a chain and rolling under another just barely in time. Crouching down on all fours with a smirk as Jade pulled back the chains. Activating [paces of the wind] and [ability boost]. She uttered with a whisper again rapidly advancing just a few feet away before she had to roll past Jade or risk losing her head.

Though licking the blood off her blade as she observed her enemy who just tracked her blankly. Not even bothered by the cut on her leg as it closed quickly enough.

“You know it is not as much fun if you're not even going to grunt. Just don’t expect me to roll over and die. This is my body, not YOURS!” Roaring out, Clementine tried to find a weak point as she circled her prey.

She Grinns as they were slow to start to pull back, having overextended rushing up with blinding speed stabbing into their shoulder. Though they were not affected by it, enchanted weapon or at least Jade didn’t show she registered the pain of being injured. They only retaliated with a wild slash at Clementine’s side.

Clementine cursed as she jumped back. Deflecting the other weapon coming at her right. Though grabbing it, holding it tightly only to feel her feet get dragged towards Jade. Letting go just In time to avoid getting cut again rushing past to score two more light cuts.

…

Not even a grunt left the doll-like Jade, which seemed to be blindly attacking. As if on autopilot, which only angered Clementine more. ‘what is up with her? It’s like she can’t even feel pain. No, this is more like a cheap copy of the original.’

Clementine sees visions of this Jade as If through her own eyes, with far more passion then this hack. Letting out a grunt was expected from pain. Everything seemed to blur together in a jumble of Clementine's memories along with Jades. Clearing her mind in time to dodge another twin attack trying to think of how to take this thing down.

Smirking, Clementine spoke. “Don’t worry, Kyuketsuki, soon I will be back, and then I can kill you.” Her voice filled with both affection and blood lust. It was confusing, but Clementine didn’t have time to sit down and think this out right now she had to survive this strange dream.

Clementine weaves and dodges through the attack pattern with grace and skill rushing up to Jade with stilettoes stabbing into the Weak points of the armor. Though with a quick thought, Clementine's new hair shot up entangling both of Jade's arms. Changing slightly with a wicked smirk on her face, as Clementine started ruthlessly cutting into the now defenseless enemy.

“Oh, I could get used to this not so tough now. Are you!” Clementine took great delight in the helplessness of this other her. Even if she couldn’t fight back, it felt lacking for one reason or another. The thrill she usually felt was lacking. She saw Kyuketsuki’s face flashed before her eyes feeling a rush much to her confusion. Clementine’s vision started to blur, watching this fake Jade melt into nothing but particles.

End flashback

“What happened after?” Kyuketsuki’s gaze entirely focused on Clementine.

“Ah, well, I don’t remember much past this part.” Hesitantly answered Clementine fiddling with her hands. There was more she wasn’t telling but with such a cute flustered face. It reminded him of Jade again, so he let the matter drop for now as they waited.

When the door finally opened, Sitabus locked on to their primary target. His eyes held only pity for the young man as they passed a frown set on his face as the adventures filtered inside. He closed the door behind them. Signaling Clementine to move in with one sweeping motion. “Hello, I’m Therus. I hate to intrude, but I will need to take Nfirea with me.” Seeing all of them tense up around the Pharmacist. Letting out a breath of frustration.

“Please just come peacefully, and you all will be spared; however, if you persist. Clementine, if you would.” Before they could even react, their magic caster had a blade to her throat, with the blonde assassin holding her.

“Ninya! Let her go. We aren’t handing over Nfirea.” The leader shouted tightly, holding his sword. Seeing the ranger started to move, Sitabus scowled. ‘I gave them a warning. Let see how they like a demonstration!’ Pointing his spear forward at the archer.

[triple: acid arrow]

“No, Lukrut!” Peter turned to his friend but too late as the three-arrows penetrated through him. Pete could only watch in horror as Lukrut withered in pain, screaming out as his armor and skin corroded away. Tilled Lukrut stilled merely laying on the floorboard’s dead with the open wounds bleeding out blood into a crimson pool around his body.

Dyne and peter froze in place, trapped between Clementine and Therus, glancing at their fallen friend. Beads of sweat rolled down peter's forehead, trying to think of how to get out of this.

“Just give up, and I will heal your friend keep defining me, and you will have to say goodbye to Ninya next.” Therus let the persona of this character come in full force. Pain vanishing beneath the cold mask of Therus. He advanced a few steps, his glowing spear aimed at both of them.

Both of the remaining swords of darkness shared a glance with steely eyes. There resolve to act only to get a shock as Dyne got pelted with magic arrows in the back. Dropping in a pool of blood, peter felt his veins run cold. How had this happened? None of them could even act snapping over to Ninya with a blank look and outstretched hand.

Peter opens his mouth to speak as the words failed him petrified in fear. Ninya held up her hand. Still outstretched from casting the spell which injured Dyna.

“Now do you see, nothing you can do will stop us. Just surrender, and I will revive your friends. Don’t, and you will join them in death.” The cold, angry voice filled peters ears turning back to Therus gulping before resolving himself,

after a few minutes of waiting in the tense silence, neither side moving.

“Run, Nifrea!” Therus parried peters strike, running him through as Peter coughed up blood. Peter Feeling his veins burn like fire, poison most likely, strength leaving his body “I’m sorry guys...” He whispered as his eyes dulled.

After letting the body drop, Therus turned to the now terrified Nifrea. As Ninya screams filled the room with a look of contempt and pity to the boy before him. Nothing could change what was going to happen now. ‘Just like I can’t change Jade’s death.’ “If you wish your last friend a quick death, you will be coming with me willingly.”

Peter watches Nifrea shake with fear backing up a step. In a vain attempt to escape whatever malevolence plan was in store. Ninya's dying scream was the last Peter heard before his vision went dark.

-E-Rental Cemetery-

Looking on from on top of the mausoleum, Sitabus could not believe how smoothly everything was going. Watching as the gathered group of necromancers chanted their ritual, it would be just about time to show his hand.

‘It should be just about time to tie up this loose end and meet up with Kathrin.’ Though he faltered as something caught his eyes. Something shouldn’t be possible. His eyes tracked three figures unmolested by the undead, in fact, none where to be seen, walking up adorned in adamantite armor with two great swords on his back — followed by a woman adorned in similar armor only with an ax. Last was a muscular humanoid too large to be an average human, hidden by a cloak and mask. Some giant hamster with a snake tail in the back?

However, the third one, he instantly recognized, “So, you came back to play minotaur.” He muttered with disdain pushing off the wall. Observing as the group approached the gathering area. Glancing at his wristwatch, he scowled ‘where Is Ritana and my greater doppelganger she is never late!’

The smile quickly left Kyuketsuki’s lips, replaced with an angry scowl under his helm. Scanning around disappointed to see no one else coming close. With narrowed eyes remembering this man named Momon. Rita had warned him about this one.

[Message]

It worried Kyuketsuki at the lack of answer tried again to connect to Bardic then his doppelganger...none of them answered.

[Message] Deciding to test a connection with Kathrin as she picked up.

{Kyuketsuki-sama what is the matter I am happy to confirm things on my end should finish up in just a few minutes.} Happily purred Kathrin, though waiting for further orders.

{Tell me the location of my adventuring group now!} Patients had left Kyuketsuki. He couldn’t afford to lose another so soon. He wouldn’t lose anyone else even if it meant dying.

There was silence for minutes before an answer came back.

{The greater doppelganger posing as you appears to have been killed or banished. While I can't locate either my packmate or the abyss dwarf either master. Orders!} Regret radiated from Kathrin's voice.

Kyuketsuki trembled with rage glaring at the trio before his eyes.

Kyuketsuki’s hands balled into fists a dark smirk came over his face as his vision went red partially going into a blood rage. 'Alright I might have to alter some memories time for plan B.’

{Kathrin once you complete your part gather all of the dominators and blood knights nearby to encircle the graveyard and wait for further orders.}

{at once!}

Ending the message, he teleported into the shadow of a pillar where Clementine was standing guard nearby. "Do we get to have fun now, master!" She purred with a toothy grin,

"Change of plans you are to rescue the boy. Do not allow him to make any connection to your old self Clem-chan or I will punish you!” The kind thoughts of Sitabus felt muddy as wrath filled his mind. Perhaps he was still bitter about the failed super tire potion; however, it didn’t stop him from cringing at his coldness to her.

‘It is not her fault moron, the blame falls on yourself!’

"Aw, but what about these intruders I can’t just let you face them alone." Clementine objected, drawing his attention to see the worry in her eyes.

Kyuketsuki smiles as he patted her head. “They can’t take me. Besides these people need to learn I will not be messed with; soon enough, we will be hunting down the rest of these rats till then contain your enthusiasm.” Stepping past with a merciless glare right at this group.

Clementine could not help but trace his every move with hearts in her eyes before quickly moving to save the weakling below. “Why is he so upset with me? Did I say something wrong,” Clementine asked herself, slinking into the shadows.

-End of Chapter-
