Chapter 8 - She's The One

The Aza town was now mere wreckage with empty corpses here and there. Light no longer surrounds the place, only gloom, and darkness. Nameless finds Misa in the ruined Aza town, who seems to be mourning. He walked up to her and said, "We need to return to the Mansion. My Mistress has arrived,"

"Can't you see I am in mourning? Leave me alone for a while," Misa replied coldly.

"Alright," Nameless replies as he takes steps away from her.

After a few minutes, Misa rose and took a rock. She slowly dug the ground with the rock and put the soil on the body. Not long after she had buried the body, she cleaned her clothes and walked towards Nameless.

"Let's go," Misa said.

Nameless took out an empty sack and handed it to Misa.

"What?"

"Go into the sack."

"What??"

"Go into the sack."

"What?? What do you mean??"

"I mean, go into the sack."

"STOP SAYING THAT" Misa shouted.

"..."

As Nameless began to silence, Misa relaxed and realized his uncivil behavior. "I am sorry, Mr Nameless, but please explain to me thoroughly what you expect me to do," she said.

"Okay. You take the sack. Open the sack. Go into the sack. Clear enough?" said Nameless.

This better not be one of those attempts of kidnap I heard about as a child. Misa thought.

"Ugh. Fine..." Misa then moved closer and took Nameless's bag. Opening the bag, she can clearly see the scenery of the Mansion's living room.

"wHAt? HOw?" Misa asked.

"Magic…Is that what I was supposed to say?"

This guy is really weird. Misa thought.

She then put her feet in the sack and soon her entire body, only to appear in the Mansion's living room. "Wow, that's really handy," she blurted.

"Yes, it is," As Nameless enters, the hole they came in through was nowhere to be found.

"We should get going. Mistress is expecting us,"

Nameless then leads Misa through a hall that is revealed to be a huge hall resembling a church. At the end of the hall, there's a throne currently seated by a woman with a revealing red dress, healthy skin, blonde hair, pieces of jewelry, and an alluring smile.

"There you are, Nameless, and you brought your lady friend with you. Hi❤️" She said.

"Hi... Are you the owner of this house?" Misa asked.

"Well.. not exactly... but in a way. Yes,"

"Thank you for your kindness..for letting me stay here," Misa bowed to her.

"Aw shush, it was Nameless's idea, not mine. He is the one who should be thanked," She said.

Misa then looks Nameless in the eye, who is next to her, but he diverts his face from her gaze.

"Haha, forgive him. He's a little bit shy. Oh yeah, let me introduce myself. I am known as Veena. Greetings," Veena said.

"THE HEALING GOD VEENA?" Misa shouted in awe.

This... is unreal... Misa thought.

"If you want to be technical, yes. I am known by that title," She replied.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mistress Veena. I am Misa, at your service," Misa said while bowing to her.

"I commend your respectful nature," Veena said while curling her blonde hair.

"It has come to my attention that Aza town was destroyed in the aftermath of the battle just as I predicted. However, did Darkan rank 4th among the Tartarean had managed to survive?"

Nameless steps forward, joining the conversation by claiming, "I've dealt with him already, Mistress Veena."

Veena then showed her face of shock while simultaneously somewhat proud of Nameless. "Good job. You have my gratitude."

In an ever-blank expression, Nameless nods and steps backward from Mistress Veena's throne.

"Even with all the setbacks and aftermath of Aza Town, there is still a chance for humans to prosper or possibly regain control of this world. This was a huge step for us."

"Healing God- I meant Mistress Veena. May I ask why it is a huge step?"

"You see. This is because of Darkan's power itself. Darkan, as the Lord of Slaves, could command anything or turn anything into his slaves. His death would mean that the his influence in most slaves' crest has been lifted. Thus, freeing most of the human slave population from the monster's control."

"I see... then that is a very good step indeed!" Misa seemed happy. Though something stills bother her, "What about his brother? Who is he?"

Veena smiled and said, "My My… you are very eager, much like your savior." They both then turned their attention to Nameless, who was backing on a pillar near the throne with his arms crossed and his face ever so blank.

"Was he always so blank? Mistress Veena?"

"Well... That's just how he is." Veena smiled.

"I want to go out for a bit." Nameless abruptly said, cutting Veena's and Misa's conversation.

"My my, so soon? What are you going to do?"

"I need to find milk. Preferably organic breast milk." Nameless said.

"EEEK!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING, YOU CREEP!!!" Misa angrily shouted at Nameless.

Unlike Misa, Veena gracefully smiled again. It was as if her grace was the only thing balancing the gloominess and blankness of Nameless.

"I can provide some breast milk if you want.."

"MISTRESS, ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!" Misa shyly screamed at the top of her lungs.

"No, thank you. I'll search for freed slaves that can take care of this baby. It isn't very realistic for me to take care of the baby I rescued."

"My My, that's too bad. I thought I'll be playing wife-husband relationship with you.." Veena said seducingly.

At this moment, Misa was lost for words. Her face was white from the shock. All she can do is stared at both Nameless and Veena.

"I am sorry, Mistress…." Nameless bowed his head.

"I am just joking, you know. It's fine. You can go."

As Nameless was about to leave, Misa said, "Hey! I'll come with you!". To which Nameless responded coldly, "You'll be staying here."

"Hey, no need to be so cold!"

"I am not trying to be. Nor do I care."

Misa's face was frowning in anger. It seems she is very pissed. Which is suddenly interrupted by Veena, "Now, now. Misa, was it? He is actually correct. I want you to study under me as my disciple in healing factor."

After saying this, Misa was in shock, repeatedly saying, "REALLY? REALLY? ARE YOU SERIOUS, MISTRESS?"

Nameless turn his attention back to Veena and Misa while saying, "Is she?"

"Yes. She is the one." Veena replied to Nameless.

"I am what now?" Misa asks.
