Chereads / My Sweet Little Villainess / Chapter 5 - A Knight and confusion

Chapter 5 - A Knight and confusion

Waking up, I opened my eyes and sat up on the cold hard ground. Looking around the darkly lit forest floor, I soon regained my memory of what had happened. Turning to either side, I glanced down and found two annoyingly beautiful girls resting on either side of my legs. 

Angry at myself for being delighted, I slowly pushed them off and got free. Stepping back gently, I soon turned and was about to run when a vine gripped my foot and I tripped forward. The sound and vibration was enough to wake the two sleeping girls up from their sleep. 

"Sh-Shiro? Where... "Turning to meet my concerned gaze, I sat up and was then held down by the leaf girls string vines. 

"We-... "Yawning cutely into her hand, the leaf girl continued while both of them approached and began playing with my face and hair. "-have yet to decide what to do with him. "

"Indeed. We cannot have him recklessly going around and attracting more girls like candy. "I was lost and caught up in it all. "Why down we lock him away in a castle or something?! "

('Oi' that sounds eerily familiar for some reason. ') 

"Hmm... Perhaps. For some reason, the longer I am with him, the stronger my emotions and powers lust to be with him... 'Shiro'... How a delicious name. "

('Hold up, just being around me makes them go crazy? Well... No! Okay! Wake up and realize this isn't real! Find a way to wake up and then worry about everything else. Hmm! ') 

"For now, we can at least have a good time with him now that he has given us a child. "

Snapping my face towards the ground, I turned to them and asked what they were talking about. 

"Well... 'Shiro'. While you were rendered... 'Unconscious'. We took the liberty of giving you all of us. "

"Wait... What? "Trickling their soft and long fingers over my chest, I felt a chill roll up my spine as the leaf girl went on. 

"We have given you a part of our hearts and have placed them into yours. You now bear the fate of a mother, 'Shiro'. "

"Isn't that just wonderful!? "Turning to meet both their eyes, I shook my head in discontent as in the time I was passed out, they did some freaky things to me.

"No-no! That's not wonderful! What... Hah! What did you do to me!? "

"Oh, calm down my dear. We only gave a piece of ourselves to you. "

"It was the only thing we could do, we couldn't control ourselves. "

"Okay. What in the actual-"Hearing a slight click, both the leaf and demon girl jumped out of the way as I was abruptly shot into the forest and realized I was being pulled by some unknown person. 

Before long, we stopped at an open field away from the forest and once there, I was thrown like trash into the ground as a silver sword glistened under the moonlight. Watching carefully, I raised my eyes to the person holding it and to my surprise, it was another beautiful girl in a glistening set of platinum battle armor. 

Her steern and powerful blue eyes looked down upon me with curiosity. 

"You... Who the hell are you?! "Holding me at the point of her sword, I gulped and met her gaze. 

"I'm Shiro... Shiro Mazuki. I'm not from here, I'm jot even from this world or whatever this place is. I have been brought here by someone and I don't know why or what they want me to do. "

"You were summoned... No, no that can't be. The great empress would have been the only one capable of-"Riaisng my chin, I held my painful position as she continued. "Three days ago, a party of top ranked adventurers went to the Dark Queens castle to take her head. Yet, imagine their surprise when there was only an impact crater left in its place. "

"Yeah... That was-"Shutting up rather abruptly, she only continued. "Out of all our vile and vicious enemies, the Dark Queen has been the only one who has the magical reserves to wage an all out war on the Royal Capital and endangered her Highness. We had been at war worth her for many centuries and yet, she has all but remained dormant. "

"Well... You'd be surprised by how lazy that woman is-"

"You dare crack jokes towards a Knight of Ashtran!? "Lifting my neck slightly higher, I then waited as she then lowered heels sword. "In any case, you may look the fool yet, I felt your aura of battle magic the second I set foot onto this land. Whoever you are, I shall bring you to the Queen for your punishment. "

('Okay... Its like this. 1: I was thrown here and have been on the brink of death by weird girls at an alarming rate. 2: Not to boast, but whenever I bump into any girl, things end badly. 3: If I meet this Queen and she starts acting like the other two, I... Oh no! There's... There is nowhere I can hide!? No! Clam down Shiro! Think, how can I stop this from happening... Hmm. ') 

"Hey. "Flinching as she met my gaze to hear me out, I then continued. "Can you let me go just this once? "

Her soft and cute laugh bursted from her as she quickly composed herself. 

"No. You try anything, I'll hurt you. "

"But-"Swinging her sword through the air to her right, I looked in confusion as I then watched as a mile long slash had cut the top of the treeline filled with thick, massive trees in unison. 

~•~•~•~•~

Wasting no time, I fell in line as I was till a whimp no matter where I was. Sniffing my nose, I then began adjusting my shoulders as I was feeling somewhat hungry. Looking up to the knight girl before me, I gulped as for some reason, my body craved her for some reason. 

Stopping above a tall hill, she watched the sun begin to peak and within that moment, my body acted on its own and attacked her. Seconds later, I woke up from a crater of my own body as the knight girl stood over me with a smiling yet, pissed off expression. 

In my efforts, I failed... Until she grabbed my hand and I pulled her into the hole with me. Meeting my eyes, she soon softened her gaze and seconds later, I woke up a mile from the hill as she had undoubtedly punched me through several layers of dirt and into a tree. 

Tying up my hands and binding my legs, I was soon unable to move freely as she simply carried me over her shoulder as if I didn't weigh anything.

From beside her, my body gave up and I regained my senses. Looking around, I instantly felt the sharp sting of pain and screamed from my gagged mouth. I then passed out from the pain. 

~•~•~•~•~•~

Waking up at an unfamiliar place, I opened my eyes and found myself riding a white horse with a needle sticking out of its head. Blinking, I woke up fully and looked around as we were in the middle of nowhere. Endless miles of grasslands in every direction. 

As I turned to face forward, I moved my mouth and managed to undo the gag. Turning to the knight girl, I don't know what possessed me to do so, but I managed to peck her cheek with a quick kiss and she automatically punched me clean off the horse and onto the ground. 

Sitting up, I then felt a tingle on my lips and then ate the magic I had extracted from her. As she got off heels horse and drew her sword, I then stood up while easily breaking free of my restraints. Turning to the knight girl, I walked right beside her sword in the air as she didn't move an inch. 

From her standpoint, I had begun to lose control and with it, the entire area for miles on end had become engulfed in my magic. It was taking all she had just to stay conscious in my presence. 

As I raised my gaze, she soon began to shake the moment she met my eye as what she felt at that very moment scared even a noble person like her. 

As I raised an arm unlike my own, it was wrapped and cracking with darkness more pitch black than the night itself. Starved, I was about to devour her when the demon girl showed up and grabbed hold of my arms. The leaf girl soon unboxing herself from the demon girl and wrapped her vines all over my body. 

Resisting, powerful shockwaves soon cracked the land in half as streams of shadow and fire erupted from all around. Suddenly, I began to calm as the demon and leaf girl both bound more of their magic into me, fighting off the powerful darkness that had yet to erupt. 

"Gah! "Dropping her sword, the knight girl stumbled backwards as she herself was in absolute terror after what she had just witnessed. 

"We must find another catalyst to control his power... "

"Indeed. Where can we find someone who possess magic akin to ours... "From the ground and in the leaf girls lap, I watched as they both turned to the knight girl just moments before I blacked out completely. 

~•~•~•~•~

As time went on, I awoke in a grand room while inside a large tube with crystal clear water inside. Finding I was able to breathe, I looked around and watched as the glass cracked and shattered apart. 

Collapsing, I then stood up and looked around. Using a large curtain as a towel, I began making my way around the large room and soon spotted my clothes. Dusting them off, I then put them on and wondered where Is as or what had happened while I was knocked out. 

Hearing a creaking noise from behind, I turned around and was immediately met by a small little girl who looked to be about three years old. 

"Uh... Hi? "Blinking, her bright red and blue eyes glistened in a shine full of green sparkle. "Uh... "

Tilting her head, she then looked over to the tube thing I came out of and then back to me. Looking around uncomfortably, I simply nodded awkwardly and took hold of my blazer as I walked around the little girl and left the room from where she came in from. 

Once outside, I then slid on my blazer and began making my way towards the exit as I had no idea where I was or why. For the meantime, I avoided everyone I came across and eventually slipped out from the massive building. 

Dropping down from the castle wall, I stood up and stretched as I cracked my neck and rubbed my shoulder. Walking forward, I then stopped as I flinched when the little girl from before up and appeared before me out of nowhere. 

"Uh... Hello, again. Um, do you have any business with me? "Blinking with curiosity and a slight sense of adoration, I simply nodded and walked past her as she just began to follow me. "Okay... Ugh. This sucks. "

Heading into the massive town down below the hill, I pressed forward and was amazed by all the many things and decorations everywhere. Men were boasting and chatter with all sorts of strange and undignified noises all around. 

It truly felt like a whole other world. 

"Oh! How much you want for the cutie, kid!? "Turning, I then met the man's gaze as he quickly backed off and went on his way while drunk. 

Looking down at the little girl who was staring at me more intently, I gulped and simply continued on.

"Welcome! Welcome! Come, have a seat! "Walking into a bookstore from what I gathered on the display of books in the window, I took a seat in one of the open tables. "What may I help you-"

When I met the skinny man's gaze, he soon quickly composed himself and turned around into the rows of bookshelves before I had the chance to even speak. Baffled and confused, I watched as the little girl simply stares at me without breaking her gaze. 

"Say, you look kinda familiar-"Flinching as the skinny man brought me a stack of books on the history and culture of this world. "How did you know these are the ones I was about to ask for-"

The skinny man then snapped from his trance and welcomed another visitor as if I didn't exist. Turning to the books, I felt uncomfortable with the little girl just standing beside me. As such, I offered her a seat and she finally broke her gaze and took a seat next to me. 

Shaking my head and shrugging my shoulders while inhaling a gust of air, I soon began reading the many passages in the books as they all translated into Japanese characters before my very eyes. 

Apart from the world's history, there has only been one great war in this era and the era isles was still relatively new, somewhere in the 800's or so. That is, if the information within these very old books is correct. 

Resting my eyes, I sat up on my chair and raced the ceiling while trying to figure our where the heck I was or if this was all just a dream. While in my thoughts, I turned to the entrance and through the glass, I saw a commotion just outside as what looked to be swarms of knights in full armor were searching every building. 

Confused, I then slowly pieced together what was wrong and then it clicked. Snapping my gaze to the little girl, I was in absolute shock. 

('Don't tell me she is some majestic princess and that the King and Queen ordered her to be found after seeing she was missing or maybe even thinking she was kidnapped. Agh! They would then search high and low and find her in some corrupt nobles mansion where she was forced to learn embroidery for so long to make more profit for the evil man! ') 

Shaking my head as the little girl seemed annoyed, I then nodded as it wasn't a likely reason. 

Regardless, I took only the last book I needed to read and slipped out the back as the little girl followed close behind.
