Chapter 8 - Chapter 7: Alone Again

"Pleeeeeeaaaasee!!!!"(Harold)

It's been Like this For an Hour straight -,-

We Can't Leave or else They'd know where we are, Also these are Quite Persistent people :0

"Oi, Oi how many Times Do we have to tell you That my party Doesn't want to!"(Kuro)

i'd actually Want to Head this Annoying person Right now...

"i'll Promise that I Won't let you down! Free rooms! Even Daily wage!!!!"(Harold)

Eh??? Shouldn't students/Apprentices be the One Paying?

"Sadly we Still Won't Accept Even if Kuro-kun Wasn't our leader"(Ayame)

"Oi, Oi Ayame-San Aren't i being the Topic as of lately?"(Kuro)

"Then... If not I'll Join Your Party! I'll support you when needed! But In Exchange you'll have to Listen to My lessons!"(Harold)

We've already Walked Across the Plaza and this Person was the only one Making a scene!

"H-Harold-Sensei?!?"(Lili)

"Yo, Lili-sama it's been a long time How is your Water Proficiency Currently Going?"(Harold)

As expected Royalty always wins :0

"come on! this is our chance!"(Kuro)

"w-wait!"(Harold)

"i'm having a hard ti- Eh? Harold-sensei!"(Lili)

Oi you'd Actually ignore the Royal Princess herself For A prodigy?!?

"Wait! Please! I won't Let You down!"(Harold)

He actually Prostated Himself In front Of everyone!

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"Haaaaaa~"(Rui)

She Sighed and Put a Hand on her Forehead

"Eh? I thought this Guy was a Pervert That tried to Take us away From Kuro-kun"(Ayame)

"Oi, why am i the Topic again -,-"(Kuro)

Today's Like the Only day i'm getting too much attention and getting mentioned at whatever, and they'd talk like i'm not here -,-

"yes, it's such a Shame that My Ex Magic Teacher likes Gifted students too much that He'd Actually act like a Pervert, He won't stop Folloring until they become his students, Later On After being taught He'd actually leave you After that"(Lili)

So this is a Teaching maniac That likes

Prodigees? I mean yes Any teacher would gladly Teach Ayame-san And Rui, They're Walking Cheats For goodness Sake!

"But no Worries! Harold-sensei is a Trustoworthy Guy, He wouldn't Harm you"(Lili)

"I'd Graciously Teach You how to Easily Train your Water Proficiency Lili-sama If you'd Offer these Beautiful Geniuses A Spare room, Whaddya say?"(Harold)

"Oi we haven't decided yet"(Ayame)

"Who said I'd leave My Onii-chan?!?"(Rui)

"Ah About that, I'll actually Accept To Let them Be your students But with a condition. Also Let me talk to my party first"

"O-onii-chan?!?! Y-You're Abandoning me!?!"(Rui)

"Hey Kuro-Kun! this isn't a Funny Joke!"(Ayame)

"Now, now Don't worry It's only for 3 Months Right Harold-san?"(Kuro)

"Eh? why 3 months it should be a Year! or If possible 10 YEARS"(Harold)

He Made an Ecstatic face as of Imagining the Future with My party

"Eh? Harold-san? this is even Worse than when you saw me!? You look like a Crazed Maniac!"(Lili)

"now I'll Reduce it to One month, Or Else I'll Bring my party and we'll get stronger on our own"(Kuro)

"F-Fine! J-just a month?! Tch! It's already enough! but they'd have to Listen to my lessons 24/7 Nonstop! Kuhahahahaha!"(Harold)

"eh? you'd kill them by that point, Come on Let's g-"(kuro)

"F-Finee!!!! 12hours Lessons just that!"(Harold)

Oh geez... he looks like he's about to Cry

"is that Acceptable Rui? Ayame-San?"(Kuro)

"NOOO!!!"(Rui) "Never! >:0"(Ayame)

"wait just a sec..."(Kuro)

i Huddle With Rui and Ayame-San

"About my Decision... I'm sorry But i just Known that There's a Cave That releases Deadly Mist for People, It's Ineffective For Far Worlders Like us, the problem is It's Also Deadly for Girls! i Found out that there's a Treasure that might help me Get stronger"(Kuro)

"Geez... Onii-chan we can still Follow and Just wait At an Inn"(Rui)

"Yes, And Also I can maybe [Shapeshift] into A Boy"(Ayame)

N-No, Ayame-san into a boy?!? That would be Horrifying for my eyes T-T

"ah, About That i also thought that atleast 1 month Of Lessons Might Also Make you both Stronger, Atleast we'd all get stronger But not Together"(Kuro)

(oi, oi Stupid kuro! if this Misunderstanding Gets Even more Worse I'll personally Slap you!) (chrona)

I will Tell them Chrona-sama Just not Now... It's better when We're Actually alone

"I wouldn't Accept this But if it's Kuro-Kun's Choice then i'll Trust it, But if you Left us Behind I won't Ever Forgive you!"(Ayame)

"eeeeh? You'd actually Leave Onii-chan, ayame nee-chan?"(Rui)

"Just for One month, I think it'll take me 5 days to reach the Village, i'll rest for a day Then Challenge the Cave I don't know If i'll succeed... After that I'll take The Carriage Here Again for 5 days, So it might take 11 days or more"(Kuro)

"So i'll be here after two Weeks, and Catch up to some Lessons, Okay?"(Kuro)

"Mouuuuu~"(Rui)

Rui's Actually Pouting and About to cry...

"then Let me Take your ID Onii-chan as my Everyday Remembrance, Also Let me hug you for 2 minute straight!"(Rui)

That's easy enough!

"Deal, Ayame-san If Harold-san Ever Becomes Weird Just Leave Them or Ask Princess Lili-sama for Help, Is that ok Princess Lili-Sama?"(kuro)

"Leave it to me"(Lili)

After The 2 minute Hugging, Sniffing My Body Rui Hesitantly Let Go, And Got Dragged by Ayame-san

(Oi Kuro-Kun i know that They won't be Able to Handle the Mist, and I Also know it's beneficial for them to Learn, The Problem is can you handle it yourself? Your Power Level Is like a Normal Person right now...) (Chrona)

Eh? 40-50 stats Is A Normal Person?

(i mean you can handle 10 person at once but With a Normal Mage You can only deal with One Vs One) (Chrona)

So i Really need to Get Stronger then? No problem! Just Believe in Your Believer Chrona-sama!

(Aren't you supposed to be the one believing Stupid Kuro?!) (Chrona)

Now, Now the Problem is How to Get money?

(You Can Make Money by Making Mana Potions, They can be Made with Magic and Infused on water) (Chrona)

Ah... Thank you Chrona-sama!

After One Hour I've Finally Sold Enough Money For One Trip to Vivid Lake, i still have 10 potions with me

they're only Grade D Common tier Potions... They Almost look like Clear bluish Water

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"i've Finally Arrived Hoooooh~"(Kuro)

My Back Hurts From that Exhausting ride, Thankfully Nothing happened Like a Pack of Wolves or Bandits, But if it Did I'm even more Luckier to Actually Have free Exp right?!

(Kuro, Stop Looking at Her Boobs!)(Chrona)

Ah! Sorry! i'm not used by these sizes!

and after Waiting for 10 minutes...

"Kuro-kuuuun~"(Diane)

i Got my Guild Card

"Thank you for Having me, I hope We get along well Diane-san "(Kuro)

"So what's your reason For signing as an adventurer, if Kuro-kun Doesn't Mind me Asking~"(Diane)

"ah, It's nothing... i decided i want to Challenge The Cave Beside The Lake of Vivid Lake Village"(Kuro)

"Psh? A newbie wants to die?"

"He's Dreaming right?"

"Hahahahahah!"

"Ah, About that Don't mind them Kuro-kun, Our Village is Actuaslly Troubled By that Mist cave... It's been there for what i've heard was even before the Human - Demon war itself"(Diane)

"Few Adventurers Challenge this cave,But None ever Came back so that's why they gave up on Clearing this Quest that's the reason Why this Village Was Named Vivid Lake after all, Most of our Resources and food Comes near to the Lake, Although we Try Not to Get near the mist It is said it's Blacker than Pitch black night itself..."(Diane)

"ah, i see But i'll atleast try... there's always a way after all"(Kuro)

I mean... There's a way to Get Throught These Mist Right?

"if you Still want to try, i would like you to give up Most of Rhe adventurers Sleep for a year or More Just by inhaling and Even Wake up Without Memories of themselves, Some in cases, Dissolve like acid When touching the Mist"(Diane)

"A-Ah?is that so? Then i'll like to atleast Kill some Monsters Is that ok?"(Kuro)

"Then why not Join a Party? That would Make it easier"(Diane)

"N-no thanks Diane-san, but i prefer to Go solo"(Kuro)

I'm not good with strangers after all T-T, If it's Rui and Ayame-san I can atleast Handle the Embarrassment

"Then Go near the Famous Vivid Lake It's quite good for Starter Adventurers Since Few monsters roam that area, Follow the Direction of the Lake to Wander around Stronger Monsters, Then when you're done You'll only have to Go the Opposite directiob of the Lake to Come back the Main gate"(Diane)

"Thank you Diane-san! That's a lot of Help!"(Kuro)

"N-no need to thank me! It's my job as a Adventurer Guild's Clerk After all"(Diane)

"No, even though i was a stranger you still Helped me This much! i'll be on my way then Diane-san!"(Kuro)

"Be safe Kuro-kun!"(Diane)

She waved at me as i Got out of the Adventurer's Reception

Then Went To find an Inn, Thankfully They have a meal included And it's pretty Low Pay High Class Room, This might be a Good Place to stay

i Rested, Not actually resting if you call it, i Practiced my Magic To Perk up some Proficiency Then after that I slept till 4am

Ooooo~

i'm hungry? But i don' even feel Like eating though

(You don't even notice the Bags under your Eyes do you?) (Chrona)

eh? i have eyebags?!

After Washing my face I went on to Buy Bread to eat

it's still 4:52am though, just a Few People Outside and The adventurer's guild is Only open during 7am-9pm

I should Probably Kill some Monsters to Stack up some exp, I should Refrain from Leveling ilup so They wouldn't notice much change

I went to the main gate, Thankfully Guards Aren't that Strict here Unlike the Capital

"Have a Safe Travel adventurer!"(Guard)

"Thanks! i'll be on my way"(Kuro)

I Followed the River's Direction of Flowing water as Diane-san Instructed Monsters Should be Here by now

...

1 hour has passed and Still no Monsters?

I'm still Adding some Stats and Some Proficiency While Waiting for Monsters

Kshksh~(Moving Bushes)

ah Finally, a Monster!

I ready My Wooden sword, this Weapon won't last long... It's about to break

Oi, Show yourself Already. What's the point Of Hiding if i aklready know you're there!?

"Eek!" "Oi You're so Nyoisy-Nyan!"

"S-shut Up or He'll Hear us!"

"Eh? Kids? What're doing here this place is Dangerous!"(kuro)

"Eeeek!!?" "N-Nyaaa!?!" "It's all your fault!" "uwun~"

"Hey now, Show yourselves I'm not a Monster i won't hurt you i promise"(Kuro)

(You sound Like a Pedophile Kuro)

(Chrona)

i'm Trying to help them Chrona-sama -,- What would i even do with these kids?

"Here, I have Some Bread... It's all i have with me for now. So why not Follow me and Eat Eggs and Bacon?"(Kuro)

"Eggs-nyan!?" "uwaaaa~" "H-hey He's Deceiving You!" "Eek?"

One by One Each of The Children Went out of the bush To Greedily Eat the Big piece of Bread i Brought with me

"I'm Still Hungry-nyan!" "Un~" "I-i still won't Believe you!" "Eek~"

The energetic Girl Has Black hair with Black Cat-like Ears and Red eyes, While the Shy One is a Brown Haired Girl With Drooping Dog ears, The Tomboy Like Attitude Has Pink Hair With Two Horns, Has Bat like Wings on her Back And a tail, The Chirping one Is a Blue haired Girl with Bird like blue Feather Wings It looks like it's her arms she has no Hands...

The Only thing I can Notice is All four of them Wear Dirty Rags as clothes, Also They're still Small, they Look Like 2nd Graders Not even Reaching My hip

"No, No don't worry You don't have to Follow me, I can Still Make Food, Better than bread, so why not stay with me for a minute and Eat?"(Kuro)

(O-oi Kuro! This is What a Pedophile actually Says!) (Chrona)

Hey Chrona-sama these are Poor little kids! are even a real Goddess To Feel no Pity for them?!

(Y-you Know i only worry For my Only believer! Who knows these might Eat you and Steal your Stuff!)

(Chrona)

You're a Goddess of Time that i Pray and Talk to everyday, and yet You don't even Know what happens to me Next -,-

(Urk!) (Chrona)

(Fine, But Still I'm warning you -,-) (Chrona)

After That The Kids Although Was Wary of Me Still Followed me farther down the River

"Now Just stay here, Don't worry I'll Just hunt for Food okay?"

"un~!" "Okay Nyan!" "eek~!" "Hmp! He'll just leave us here anyway!"

"Then Let's make a bet, If i come here With Food, you'll Follow me?" (Kuro)

"i'm okay With that-Nyan! This Onyii-chan is actually nyaice!"

"Wan~!(Soft Bark)"

"eek!"

"I hope you get eaten By the Wolves

>:0"

Eh? What's with this Little Demon girl!?

anyways as soon As i left them Finally This place actually Has monsters now...

There's a deer, The Problem is 7 wolves are also Closing in...

It's decided it's just me and Those Girls So I shoukld keep My Promise

""(Kuro)

i used Only to Kick the ground and let dirt flay everywhere, Thankfully the Wolves was intimidated by it and Went away

The deer is about to run too!

i used together with

and it's too Fast! i Caught up Quickly with the Deer and Bashed It's Heas with The Wooden Sword

{Successfully Slain lvl 8 Grass Deer}

{Show Drops?}

Eh? So that means the Time That the Beast Hound was Hit and Weakend Wasn't Dead yet? Wait so that means...

I absorbed a Living Monster...

Anyways Moving on...

Yes.

{Drops:

Common*

Grass Deer Horn 2x

Grass Deer Meat 21x

Grass Deer Bone 13x

Uncommon*

Grass Deer Skull

Rare*

Skill Book: Sprint}

Eh? This drops are Too much For my First kill With [Game's Perspective] So it also Amplifies the Drops? or is it just My Luck? Either way these are Goods!

i used on the Corpse and Went back to the girls

"Eeeeek!!!"

(Kuro! It's dangerous!) (Chrona)

"H-help Onyii-chan!!!"

As soon as I came back i Noticed the Four Girls was Holding each other With Panicked Faces

And then i Noticed these are the Wolves i Chased off...

This is Bad! I used Half of My stamina Just Back then!

No Good So i Should use it then?

"!"(Kuro)

Black Smoke Spread Out from my Hands And Form into A Smoking Black Beast Hound

So this is the Summon Skill of [Necromancer]?

it's Cool! So that means Thatr What ever i Kill can be My Minion?!?

Uwooooh!!!!

"Kill them!"(Kuro)

"Awoooooo~!"(Beast Hound Undead)

Oh god, I just Noticed My Summon is The 3 meter Tall Beast hound. and the ones That it's Currently Massacring Are just 1 meter Normal Grass Wolves

{You're Summon Leveled up}

Yes, They also level up T-T

But atleast I've found a Way to Get Stronger

"Come back"(Kuro)

The Black Beast Hound Turned into Smoke and Came Back Through my skin

"Don't worry they're gon-"(Kuro)

"Y-you S-saved us Nyaa!!"

"Yes Wan~!"

"Eek!"

3 of the Girls Hugged My legs while Looking up to me With Shining Eyes

They're Like Rui... Cute

"Y-you're a Demon?"

"i'm a Human, A Far worlder to be specific"

"ooooooh~?"

"Nyan?"

"Eek?"

"It means He's not from this world"

"Woooh, You're So Smart!"

"Now, Now We still have to Eat Right?"(Kuro)

i took out the Grass Deer meat Out of My Inventory, The [Game's Perspective] is Actually Even Handier than a Space Enchanted Bag, It's Space is Proportional To Your Strength and Intelligence, So if i get Stronger i Can even Put A Whole House In my System's Inventory!

"Onyii-chan was sooo cool! Nyaa!"

"Desu~ Wan~"

"Eek"

The Girls was having a Topic of their Own The little Demon Girl Was Still Looking at me with a Serious look on her face

While i am Cooking She suddenly Opened Her mouth and said

"Why're you helping us? We're Nobodies, We don't even have a Name because we we're Thrown Out of Our Own Race because we were too weak and Useless..."

eh? Thrown out of their Own race?

So that means they're exiles Each One of them?

They're Like me then, Before I was Adopted...

"Then You're like me then, I Also Have no family, No Friends i was an orphan Back in my World"(Kuro)

"Yet Someone Had decided to Take me in On their Family"(Kuro)

Yes, It was my Mother...

(Huuuuu~) (Chrona)

Eh? Chrona-sama You're Crying?!

(S-Shut up! the Ninjas are Cutting Onions here!) (Chrona)

oh? i thought Only Goddesses, Divine beings and Believers can Get inside that Realm?

(Urk! Just Whatever!) (Chrona)

Anyways...

"So i Just Thought, I should Help you guys"(Kuro)

"Y-you'd Take us Exiles Nya!?"

"Uwo?"

"Eek?!

"Don't have Hopes as if A Human, Would do that"'

um? If i bring you with me Rui'd Kill me and Ayame Will Bury me alive!

"Then, The only Way you can Bring us Is Form a Slave Contract, That way The Village Won't Think You're a Sane person That Brought a Demon child And Beast Children"

"E-eeh?! Isn't there another way?!"(Kuro)

"i'm Ok with that Nyan!"

"Wan~! Wan~!"

"Eek!"

"Told you so, He's not That Willing enough to Take Us as his Slaves, Won't you even like that You can do anything to us~? We won't even Have Any Resistance when you Force us~?"

Oi Oi Oi! this isn't what a Kid Should say!

"Stop it, I don't do that to kids"(Kuro)

"Eh??? Onyii-chan won't Bring us?"

"Whimpering*"

"eek~ :("

"Eh? Why won't my Charm Work?"

"Ah, about that i'm immune to Any Mental attacks"(Kuro)

"That's Cool Nyan!"

"Wan~!"

"Eek!"

"W-what?! How is that even Possible?!"

"Ah, Forget about it... Anyways I'll accept You girls as my slaves Only on one Condition"(Kuro)

"You can Even Force us you know~?"

Bonk!

"Hauuuu~"

"Lewd things are for Adults, Those aren't words that Kids are Supposed to say"(Kuro)

"Anyways, My only Condition Is, Follow My every order and Never Betray me or Disobey me, aside from that You're Free You can Even do Whatever you want Except Disobeying My orders, is That Fine with you?"(Kuro)

(You're Secretly a Pervert aren't you Kuro-kun? Even in your memories I can't seem To even Find the Part you do XXX) (Chrona)

That's because i'm a Teen and As Virigin! For Goodness Sake!

(Oh my, Fufufu~ Found One) (Chrona)

i'll seriously Punish You Chrona-sama For Interfering my Privacy >:0

"Those are Already What The Slave Contract Does to slaves, alrhough i don't understand What you mean from Free?"

"it means If i Order you, You listen and Follow it, But when i don't tell you anything You can Do what ever you want, I'm not a Bad Person after all"(Kuro)

"eh? Making us Little Child Slaves is already The Definition of Bad though?"

Bonk!

"Hauuuu~ Fine T-T"

"So Do we Have to Find A Slave Trader to Do this?"(Kuro)

"I know That skill I have [Slave Master] after all, Don't worry i won't trick you and Use it to make you the slave, you're already Helping us this much already"

"O-ok"(Kuro)

"For it to work You'd have to Give us names, We're Nameless after all"

"oh, Sorry... ok i'll try to make the best name for the each of you"(Kuro)

"For the Cat Girl, She'd Be Kurone Nekoyama, As Black Cat"(Kuro)

Shuzooom~

A Violet Pinkish Magic Circle Lit up Beneath us, and kurone's Chest Had a Pink Heart Glow in the middle of it

It's the Slave Mark?

After that A collar Magically Appeared on her Neck, it wasn't the Same as Metallic Collar on the Slave traders

it almost looks like...

"W-why the Hell Is she Wearing a XXX slave Collar?!?"(Kuro)

This is what people Wear With slave Fetishes!!! although i'm Glad that it isn't the metallic collar that can possibly hurt the Slave This is just Far too Inappropriate!

"Eh? You won't use us as XXX slaves?"

"Who Said I wanted XXX Slaves!?!"(Kuro)

"e-eh? u-um... ah Right That's it! this is The Most Effective Slave Contract!"

"Aish! Just Believe me!"

"i'll Bonk you so Hard if you Don't have a Good Reason after all this"(Kuro)

(Oh my, Kuro You're actually Quite Wild, I'm starting To See that You're actually quite a Pervert despite You showing Kindess and a Caring Attitude!) (Chrona)

You too Chrona-Sama i'll F*cking Bonk Everybody So Hard!!!!

"..."(Kuro)

"Huuu~(*Long Sigh*)"(Kuro)

"Anyways, The Dog Girl would be, Chizuru Inugami"

The Same Process Was still done here... is this the Only Slave Contract Skill She Knows?

i'd really want to Know which Pervert She Learned it From -,-

(Oi Kuro, You don't mean you actually want to Use more XXX slaves?) (Chrona)

N-no! Just To talk With that person! This is A Child For Who knows Why she Even Learned it!

"The Harpy? Will be Sasaki Satori"(Kuro)

"My Name must Be the Best of of them All, After all The Best is for the Last Fufufu~!"

"You'd be Lilith Hakuma"(Kuro)

"Eh?"

Shuwooom~

"That's the Name of the Succubus Queen, Lilith"(Kuro

"Yes Why give it to me?"(Lilith)

"Eh you don't want it? You'd Probably A Perfect Queen If you use your [Slave Master] Well"(Kuro)

"Anyways Let's eat, The Food Is ready"(Kuro)

Oooooo~4x

"i know, Bread Won't Fill your stomachs So Dig in!"(Kuro)

I may be Alone Before But atleast i'm Not Now.
