After being completely humiliated and disgusted, we went back into town and me and Marcilina split off an went to a public bathhouse here in town.
I wore Mari's cloak the entire way there and I felt so very ill that I never think I wanna go into a lust frenzy again, because that was... Disgusting, eww eww eww!
I hate bugs, so fucking much...
It's not even that I fucked them and didn't remember, no I'm glad I don't remember that, but I was both seen and can taste bug, I think I ate some of that bug too?
Randomly barfing, "HEY! YOU ALRIGHT!" I heard Marcilina scream out, but shaking my head.
"I'll never be picky about feeding again..." I uttered.
"What? Picky about what? Aster? What??!!"
And hearing her worried like that, I poked her cheek and then said, "I'm going to need you to probe my mind and purge my memories of today..." I pleeded.
But hearing me say that as she walked next to me and kind of was holding my shoulder supporting me. She shook her head refusing, "I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"It's not as simple as that, boy"
"Is it because I'm a Demon? And you hate me?"
"Huh I don't... I do, but no it's not because of that"
But hearing her half way admit to that, I asked.
"Hey... Search my memories"
"W-WHAT!!!" she was shocked even more.
But before she could pull anything I looked forward an said something meaningful, "I want you to understand me, I trust you, and that's hard for me to do you know"
I said as that might fully expose me but she was also one of my best shots at getting back at Asmodeus an if her character matches with the stories, there's a good chance she'll be on my side.
And I'm also very petty.
I still hate that dude.
"Please, I was forced into becoming a Demon, I didn't chose to be like this, I wanted to stay human and not come to this world or become something else in this world when I was already here and she wasn't"
I said as both people, both me's here.
And hearing me say that and looking perplexed.
She sighed.
"Fine, well take a bath first and then I'll do it"
"Okay"
Hearing her say that and it gave me a shot, I smiled, but then it dropped and I looked forward as I saw the place not so far away, it's getting closer.
I don't have long before everything runs to hell.
2 years, after next year the attack will happen.
And before then I hope I'm ready.
Because Nefumia will fall.
Probably. . .
. . . . .
Getting to the bathhouse it was silent and the walk with her was also quiet too, we didn't speak much but when we got it she told me she'd assist me in setting up a warm bath since she knew how to work the system inside the breakroom, I guess it was turned off? Probably or maybe it's a magic crystal issues?
But not long after the light crystals turned on and then she came from around the corner telling me it was ready, and the water was running and I should go.
To which I did and she left me be to bathe.
Lucky I found a soap bar in there too.
I need to purge my skin.
. . . . . .
After the bath, I was looking around the dressing room and I found some clothes around my size, a bit bigger but they'll make do, it was a green cotton shirt and some sweat pants, they were stretchy? I like em.
Though that was all I found that fit me.
"Hey, you find anything in there?" I heard Marcilina.
And talking to her from another room, "Yeah!"
"Hurry up, I wanna bathe too!"
"I'll be out in a minute!"
After assessing myself and still feeling a bit iffy about the whole slaying bug pussy, I came out and she walked right past me, "Wait for me out here"
"Uh? Sure"
. . . . .A while later. . . . .
Sitting down on the floor and leaning up against the wall, "Uh... How long is she going to take?" I asked myself as I was constantly tapping the ground.
But saying that the door opened, "I can hear you, you know?" I heard her soft voice and looking up I saw her cherry skin wearing a white and red hanfu.
This was the fertility goddess Marcilina.
She has cherry red skin, two horns poking out of the top of her forehead where her head and hair meets, long back long black hair, yellow eyes that radiate divinity, and pride, and then a slender fit body.
"I know, but you were weren't you?"
Chuckling while saying that, she came over and then sat next to me, "So, Aster, are you sure you want me to do this, I'll know everything about you from start to now? Plus it might deal a little bit of damage to you?"
She said suddenly breaking away from our silly little talk, but hearing her and the seriousness in her voice, I sighed deeply as I already planned on doing this.
"To be honest I need you more you need me, so yes"
"What does that mean?"
Turning my head to her, "It's embarrassing to say, but I think your special, and it's not in a weird way or even a sexual way either, it's just something I can't even say"
I don't know how to say it would sounding villainous...
But, to put in bluntly, she's my best chance in revenge.
Plus, I really need an Allie, fate fucking hates me!...
"If you say so?"
Not understanding me by the tone of her voice, she moved her hand to my chin and leaning in, kissed me.
Allowing it to heppen, she pressed hard into it and did the same back, smooching her back and holding it.
Closing her eyes and doing the same, she then pushed back shoving me back, startling me!
"You're the son of that Asmodeus!!!"
Getting shocked as I sat back up not understanding what just happened, I looked at her and she was not just trembling, she was visibly shaking all over.
"Son is a hard way to put it? It was a more forced into adoption if anything? But if you mean Hiragi then yes"
I said and she scooted away and then stood up.
Her breath was heavy and she was panting.
And seeing this it seriously scared me.
"So you're not going to even ask about the Rebirth, any of the soul merging or anything else but him?"
But just as I said that she held her hand out and then slashed it through the air, forcing Mana to condense and then in a flury of yellow, conjured a scythe.
"If your his son then you have to die... Now!"
And scooting away, "Wait, Wait, Wait, Why!?"
And saying that, she walked up to me rasing her blade and saying, "That bastard left me to die, that fuck let me live as a punishment, he killed everyone I love!!!"
"He's the reason I wear a mask!!!"
Suddenly out of nowhere a wooden mask formed on her face, and it was as horrifying as the face of biblical and mythological Devil, and she was pissed.
The wood bended and the mouth part opened, revealing nothing but rows of fangs and a snake like elongated tongue, sliding past them shark teeth.
And stopping as my heart was racing and I sort of felt the pain she bared, if not only a little as she had been affected even worst than that bastard Asmodeus.
"Wait..."
Not moving and saying that, she held up the scythe and looking down at me, paused, "What!"
"He killed someone important to me too, he took it all from me and he dragged me to this world, so I'm just saying even if you kill me that won't make a difference because I'll come back to life and when I do, he'll probably be free and wanting me to join him"
Looking up at her and looking in her horrifying eyes.
"Please listen to me, I want to kill him too, so let's join forces, I know a few things that we can use to our advantage to get the upper hand on him before he ends up escaping his seal, so just listen me please"
"I'm listen, speak now, Demon"
"Asmodeus's entire goal is to reclaim the throne of the dark realm, if we can trick him and bind him to it, we'll be able to keep him from traveling to any of realm"
"And if he's bound to it, the dark realm will kill him for us, after all, there's a reason he hasn't gone yet, it's because he's not strong enough to claim his spot!"
Damn it, looks like Marcilina might be my enemy too.
I don't want that, and don't want to trap him.
I don't even want Marcilina to touch him.
I want to be the one to kill him.
So when it comes down to it.
I'll kill Marcilina then him.
"So what do you say, join me, I don't wanna fight you!"
But as I said that she slashed down her blade into the ground between my legs, "Get out, your words are full of lies, and your excuse is pittiful, the only reason that I'm not killing you now is you were a victim of him too"
Scaring the shit out of me as the blade was so close to hitting my crotch, "No go, the next time I see you I will kill you without hesitation, prince of chaos Aster"
And not hestiating, I rose up and ran.
She's a goddess past the 10th rank, and I'm a demon not anywhere close to passing rank 2, so if she's lettin me live than fuck my pride and everything else, I'm dipping and not coming back to this place!
Holy crap I just avoided another death.
But now she's a major death flag!
. . . . .Getting back to the Safe House. . . . .
Running in, "Change of plans, we gotta go now, that goddess just threatened to me!" I said and running in, I saw none other than that brown haired rabbit Emily.
"What? Wait where the hell have you been Hiro!?"
But seeing that Emily was back with us.
"No time! We gotta go!"
