Eleventh day of April, the 'tributes' of the Gods and Goddesses who received information about the upcoming calamity have arrived at the palace of the Goddess of all Bitches on the same day that they came back after waging war with the God of Life and the elves.
"I see that you are all here"
Four knelt down in front of Mel.
"First, you... the priest. You have come here to deliver something, right?"
"Yes, your holiness"
The bishop's aides brought out the grimoire.
"Here, I present on behalf of the Goddess of Wisdom, the grimoire of unknown origin to your holiness"
The bishop then gently laid the grimoire on the table in front of me.
"SInce you have come a long way, you may go after resting for a few days"
"We are thankful for your generosity, your holiness"
The bishop and the priests bowed down once more and left the room.
"The head butler of the Thalane family, raise your head and introduce yourself"
The naga raised his head.
"I am Gran, your grace. I hope that my abilities will be of service to your greatness"
Snap.
Lavella stood up.
"Lavella, from now on, this man will be your right hand man. Teach him the ropes around here until he gets use to things"
"I shall do as you command, your grace"
Lavella and Gran exited the room as per my command, leaving only two more from another country in my bedchambers.
"Ruler of the Kingdom of Swords, Marie Ito, raise your head"
The fifteen year old child raise her head and opened her blind eyes.
"I would like you to instruct my soldiers in the ways of the sword. I will leave it to you how you train them and as to how hard you train them. I do not care as long as it proves good results"
She closed her eyes and bowed her head slightly.
"As the one who was given this duty, I shall complete my tasks to prove my worth and to thank you for giving my lord the information we needed for the sake of our citizens and our kingdom's life"
After getting my signal, Elmenz escorted the young monarch out of my room, leaving one man with his head on the ground.
"Hey, you..."
As I spoke with a crass tone, Javier doubted his ears and looked up.
"Me...?" He asked.
"Yes, you. Who else do you think I am talking to? Besides..."
I pointed at the man.
"Why act like some dignified noble when you hate formalities the most. Be natural, act natural. No need to create a different persona when you are in front of me"
Words he is not use to made him smile.
"Ahahahaha!!!"
Hearing that there was no need to follow such strict rules. Both formalities and necesitties.
"Now I do not regret it! Rather, I am happy!"
The former Azure tower's tower master, Javier Elrod sat down with his legs crossed and looked up to me as he pulled out a bottle of wine.
"I am told that my life is now yours, and I do not regret that. It makes me happy!"
"How so?"
"Because no one will tell me what to do?"
The man who is known as the most unruly and most disrespectful in the game.
One who follows anything that would pique his interest and does not care about anyone.
"Even if the God of Magic told me to stay here for a month, I would love to stay here for a lifetime! Which is why I want to ask you, your grace, what do you want from me?"
Unlike Payne who goes insane when matters are related to fights, he still holds dignity and poise.
"Do I have to kill someone? Make something? Or do I perhaps have to sleep with you~?"
Javier looked at Mel as if she was just an ordinary person.
Eyes filled with nothing but curiosity and pride.
This man in front of me is just like a child. But an unironically clever child.
I said as I patted the floor, "Come here"
As he deemed it to be interesting, Javier did not thought about the consequences and sat down in front of Mel with his back facing her.
"Stay like this for a while. And I will let you do anything you want as long as my subjects do not get hurt or uncomfortable"
"Really? REALLY?!"
"Yes, so shut up already"
"Understood!"
- He is annoying, master!
'Please, you two act the same way'
Though unlike his free spirited and carefree behavior, he knows when to act up and when not to. He knows very well that if he want something, he has to work for it.
It is just that rules and laws annoys him, but so what.
Mel started to play around with Javier's hair while activating her skill,
How could I forgive the man who destroyed the Steel Fortress!
Remembering the time I started to play the game, I always wanted to kill the one who destroyed Lagnos' source of income.
Whenever the criminals were stopped, someone else would destroy the steel fortress as if the future cannot be changed.
'And that person is this asshole!'
In a matter of minutes, Javier was knocked out thanks to my skill.
"Now, let's get started, shall we~"
As I do not want to end things too soon, I decided to take the slow route.
I took the grimoire from the Holy Kingdom and opened it.
A book that can only be red by players. Of course, to use the spells inside the grimoire, you still need to possess it even if you already know the incantations making it annoying to get.
"Change and re-write the things that are known"
And since only players can read the contents of the book, the book worm Goddess, the Goddess of Wisdom cannot read it no matter how hard she tries.
"From light to dark and dark to light, let it all be shown"
The annoying part of having to say the incantations while holding the book still feels the same way.
"New stories arise. Epics be told, And with a legend's trace..."
Ugh, as expected, it hurts mentally.
- Are you okay, master?
It hurts but it is manageable.
"...Secrets from old are now in one space"
As light shoned, a computer with keyboard and a mouse appeared.
'Red'
- Yes, master?
'Starting now, do not make any noise. I need my concentration to not be broken, understood?'
- I understand.
Since this ten paged grimoire possess quite the over powered spells, they can only be used once. Well, using it on him will only benefit me.
For the next several hours, Mel spent her time opening files in the computer which showed Javier's memories, and edited said memories to alter it however she likes.
In addition to that, she changed Javier's physical features and personality itself before the duration of the spell run out, causing her to vomit blood and making her dizzy for holding a spell that long.
...
- Master!
As I was woke up from a noise inside my head, I opened my eyes.
'Red... what is it...?'
- The kid whose name is Murphy woke up.
