"Is something wrong, Marco-sama?"
"...Nothing. Tell that idiot Kai to stop wasting time and come back before I get him!"
"Yeah!.
With no one else in the fitting room, only his reflection in the mirror, Marco turned around, not paying attention to a small-sized blouse lying on the floor.
Carrying an unconscious Sayaka and Rinka held by the neck, no one noticed a small movement in the fitting room curtain, belonging to the silhouette of a trembling girl.
---------
"Hey, be gentle with me, I'm a girl! Ouch! It hurts, you idiot!
"Shut up, one thing doesn't need to think, other than worrying about making his master feel good.
[Idiot, you'll see when Javier Onii-chan finds out... I hope Shio-chan is okay and does what I asked her to]
No longer trying to fight the way she was treated, they leave the mall, and Rinka finally realizes the anomaly she finds herself in.
[There's no one, what exactly is going on here? Where did all the people go?]
Contemplating a sinister city, where the noise of cars and people was normal, they were no longer heard.
"How long is it taking that idiot to take care of the maids!
Rinka, trembling with fear like the others, a subordinate in a submissive attitude approaches to explain to Marcos, annoyed by the delay.
"I already sent Kasaka to…
Boom!
Taking up a defensive position in a semicircle, Sayaka was in the center, guarded by Rinka, and calmly watching Marcos. Seeing a body sprawled on the pavement, blood spilling out, one of the men cautiously approached and checked.
"....
"Alive?.
"...
Marco asked, cutting his gaze, seeing one of his own confirm the obvious.
"Is it Kasaka?!"
"Kasaka, ninth-grade elemental magician, how he died!
"I-I don't know, his body is pierced all over!"
"What are you babbling about? Find the enemy and…
Without time to finish speaking, Marcos's gaze falls upon the silhouette of a woman dressed as a Maid with long mustard-colored hair, a loose skirt that now clings to her long legs, outlining her thighs and V-zone.
Yami shows no interest in the kidnappers after jumping from the second floor of the mall. Looking past the twelve kidnappers, Rinka notices Yami watching her and waves at him to confirm they're okay.
"The maids? That means Kasuki died along with the others. Hmm, it seems the information wasn't wrong and Matiz's group didn't run away with their tails between their legs for nothing."
Clan! Clan!
Showing arrogance in his manner of speaking, as if he didn't care about the death of his subordinates, the sound of metal against metal is heard instantly.
Attacking from four different points: Achilles heel, femoral artery, eyes, neck. Four men disappeared and attacked.
Facing, immobilizing, bleeding out, a sure blow. Breathing in unison, moving as one. Having received training to kill with the most certainty possible, without even communicating. At that point, Yami lowered her upper body slightly without even taking her eyes off Rinka and Sayaka, who were loading her into the cars.
A formless, dark mist instantly enveloped Yami's body. Like a thorny body, thousands of needles pierced the four men, who didn't see such an attack coming. They were riddled with bullets.
"Hmmm, that's how Kasaka and the others died, she's an Armor-grade mage. Step back."
The eight men in Marcos' charge, knowing what they had to do, put Rinka to sleep with a blow to the neck. She wouldn't stay still, tearing off two of the four parked black cars.
Yami disappears, appearing on the moving vehicle that was carrying Rinka and Sayaka.
Gathering a thin layer of mist in his hand, Yami was about to cut without holding back, when suddenly a shadow appeared above him.
"A good girl should know how to behave.
Hit! Bann!
Kicking Yami in the face, she crashes into the wall of the mall, piercing it. The man, with a neat appearance, short black hair with gray already visible on his sideburns, and a piercing gaze, giving off a conservative, unapproachable air, approaches Marcos, who bows respectfully.
"Excuse me for disturbing your fun, Loter-sama!
"... You better go and get the merchandise safely, this is going to get a little hectic.
"Understood, but Loter-sama? I'm not going to finish her off, she's just a simple Armor-grade mage, you're a mage..
"Who gives you the right to ask, insolent fly,
"I am so sorry for my boldness!
"Hmph, get out of here.
"Yeah.
Marcos, like a lapdog who fears a real predator, retreats with his head down so as not to bother the man named Loter again.
"So how long do you plan to keep playing hide-and-seek, girl?
Disdaining Yami, Loter approaches and sees Yami's shadow approaching.
"Uh, mmm, I never expected this kind of situation to arise from a simple shoplifting, I don't dislike it either, but I don't like it either, you could say it's a middle ground.
".... Who are you?!.
Loter startled by the relaxed voice and looked at Javier who suddenly appeared, along with two girls who were Rinka and Sayaka, still unconscious and floating, and even Marcos with a hole in the front of his skull.
"You don't deserve to know who I am, since you're going to die. Yami, release your seal, finish him off.
"F…
Unable to respond, Yami appears in front, his bare hand looking like some kind of sharp sword formed from the mist, Loter felt fear seeing that simple attack but with great power in it.
[I'm going to die]
Like a single thought, Loter followed Yami's hand that was five centimeters from his chest.
Plin!
"Ahhhhhhh! Don't underestimate me, brats!
Appearing from somewhere, an exquisite navy-blue armor appeared on top of Loter. It covered his torso, shoulders, arms, forearms, legs, and head. Designed to resemble an ancient sea creature.
Responding with a three-finger attack, Loter strikes Yami's body in succession without letting her think for a split second.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
[Hard! How can a woman have a body as hard as the Miralta?]
Loter, sensing danger even though he heard bones breaking, did not neglect for a few seconds and saw a fish like an eel, with the difference that its head was flat, surrounding Loter's body.
"Cutting wave!"
Leaping back, shouting the name of her technique, she throws a kick that reflects a furious wave. Yami, who stared unblinkingly at what was happening in front of her, begins to envelop her.
Booooooom!!
With a loud crash, the arcane energy {cutting wave} lashes out, cutting and sweeping away everything in its path.
Rising a thick smoke, the walls of the commercial building were no longer along with the signs, stretching for more than a kilometer around. Loter, looking at the devastation of his technique with a tired face, looked back to where Javier's presence had been bothering him.
"A great show, I never thought I'd see such a thing live. As expected from a magic world, it's fascinating."
".... How come they were fine, no, who are you? You know who is behind us and you dare to oppose us.
Javier was having fun like a child riding the roller coaster, unlike Loter, who looked at him with fear in his eyes, which he tried to hide with a superior attitude.
"Woo, I was scared.
"There, there, there's nothing to fear, I'm here, Shio-chan, good job calling me.
Holding Shio in his arms, trembling with fear as she sobbed, Javier looked at Loter wearing a transparent blue cloak with barely visible lines of the prehistoric fish.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Radiant clan, whose trade is the slave trade.
"You know it and you oppose it!"
"I don't give a damn what you guys are. As long as you don't come looking for me, I have no reason to worry about you and your operations.
"Ignorant fool! Who do you think you are, to look down on my radiant clan?
Javier, regardless of Loter's indignation at insulting his clan, calmed Shio down while not letting his conversation with Loter reach her.
"Yami, how long do you think you'll continue? You've become lazy from not doing anything at home.
"!"
Pa!
Hearing what was once a concrete wall fall, Loter stares stiffly at a female figure covered in jet-black light armor with ruby lines.
Yami appeared with a radical makeover. Her soft, pearly skin, full of life, had changed to a bluish complexion as if she was lacking blood, and although it was strange, she displayed an attractive charm.
Her long, now black hair was gathered into a bun, a thick, symmetrical headband crossed her forehead and fell to the back, leaving a thin violet veil that began at her ear.
Her usual maid outfit had also changed, now a white one-piece dress with a turtleneck, showing off her shoulders and with red laces holding up the tight waist.
On the forearms, from the tips of the fingers, were covered by a jet-black gauntlet with two ruby-colored images printed on it. The left one showed the image of a bird, its head on the middle finger, its wings on the thumb/pinky finger, and its two claws, the index and ring fingers, and its long, savannah-like tail, rested on the forearm.
Unlike the right gauntlet, which featured an image of a snake coiled around the forearm, with a large shark-like mouth on the hand and strange tentacles emerging from its body.
Her breastplate covered her bust, making her look smaller. A plant was carved between them, its shape obscuring. Protecting her lower body was a waist protector on both sides of her hips and thigh-high boots.
Tin! Tin!
As they walked, the soles and 2cm-high heels echoed in the perpetual silence. Loter, unable to believe what he was seeing, twisted his face in fear. Javier, on the other hand, stared, fascinated, at Yami's silhouette as it moved from side to side.
[A Goddess descended to this earth. Oooo, to think that the cold armor and succulence of a lady were enough to move me like this, I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. Damn whoever gave birth to such a beauty, I have to thank her.]
"Beautiful.
A single word was enough for Javier to unleash everything he felt inside her. He had no idea that his murmur had made a stranger, Yami, smile at him.
"!"
Going crazy with that smile, Javier's thoughts had vanished, while a tent had risen in his pants, but Javier himself nor anyone around had noticed.
"Gmmmm!!, die damn bitch!... Repressing collapse!!.
Crushing everything at his feet, Loter lunges at Yami with a psychic in hand.
A head shorter than Loter, the Seer's body is filled with frenzied arcane energy, reaching the point of magical saturation. His lower body collides with the ground, causing a slight tremor nearby and rending the ground. Failing to advance, Loter repeatedly smashes his lower body into the Seer.
"....
Without even running Yami walks slowly to the attack, along with his left hand raised, with his index finger while the others remained closed.
"You look down on me, but that will be your downfall!... Take my final attack!"
Loter without stopping after attacking 12 times, his arcane energy at its highest point, leaps up above Yami and the aquiferous primitive being appears.
In the seer's throwing position, the body and the two tips transform into the crushed eel head, throwing it with all its power.
Still unfazed, Yami's index finger transforms into a bird's claw. Looking up at the sky while ignoring the ground, he lifts his foot and stamps on the ground.
Grrrrrrrr!
Forming a wave in all directions like a stone had fallen on one side, the twelve water cuts that came were destroyed, without stopping the wave of earth reached the nearby cities destroying everything in its path.
At the same moment that the wave destroyed the water cuts, the last attack of the flathead eel collided with the bird's claw.
Hearing a tearing sound and then a breaking sound, the spear was evaporated by the bird's claw and moved on, without giving Loter time to react he was swallowed, disappearing from the world.
All of this happened in just a few seconds from when Loter began his attack; for Javier, everything went slowly, watching every move from both sides.
"...
Looking at Yami who had arrived in front of him with his armor still on, Javier swallows without hiding the tent in his pants that did not stop throbbing, seeing how the blue hand, but still maintaining the softness in plain sight, heads towards her.
"Hmm, the bad guys are gone.
Shio stops hugging Javier, looks around and sees Yami back to normal and Javier still sweating.
"Th-the bad guys are gone, Shio.
….[Teacher, I want ice cream, I need ice cream, now.]
Going back to his usual routine, Javier sighs, defeated for some reason, and leaves Shio on the ground, who stares in surprise at a wasteland as far as the horizon.
"M-mommy! Onii-chan!....
Scared Shio of not finding anyone and only destruction, Javier not knowing what words to say to her to calm her down scratching the back of his head, an hourglass comes out of the ground.
"Mm, this is the device they used to create the replica of the world, it's very… monotonous and crude, wouldn't it be easier to create it with the laws of the universe? That would be the most basic logic. This makes the fight turn into a natural disaster.
"....
Inspecting the device, Javier feels it graze the sleeve of his shirt and it was Yami pointing at Shio, crying.
"...Don't cry Shio, this is all fake.
"Woohoo, fake, liar!
"It's true, look, now we'll get back to reality.
-----
By manipulating the hourglass, the world changed from a wasteland of rubble to a bustling scene of people gathered outside the mall, with the murmur of people and authorities talking on people's cell phones.
"At this time, the possibility of a tsunami on the Japanese coast cannot be ruled out; the earthquake measured 7.9 on the Richter scale.
"Prime Minister! Where was the epicenter of the earthquake and what damage did it cause?"
"Yes, the earthquake struck near the coast of Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture, about 12 kilometers away. As for casualties and material damage from this natural disaster, we will inform you in the coming hours. For now, I urge calm…"
While the emergency conference was being heard, Javier had taken Rinka and Sayaka near the wall to lie down.
"Yami, can you go find Asahi and Yuuna, they must be preoccupied looking for us.
".....
Without saying anything, Yami disappeared into the crowd, staying with Shio who didn't let go of his hand.
"Excuse me, your friends are fine, they need help.
"No, don't worry, it must have been because of the scare from the earthquake, they fainted but nothing serious.
"Mmmmmm.
"Look, they're already waking up, thanks for asking.
"It's not my job.
As the young mall employee walked, Rinka, who was sitting, looked around sleepily, and Sayaka, who was beginning to wake up.
"Ouch, it hurts, what happened? I remember some men appeared and… !."
"Calm down, everything is over now, you decide for me which men want to take her, your pain is gone.
"Uh, yes, thanks Javier, it doesn't hurt anymore, that's convenient.
"Javier Onii-chan, who were those men? Shio-chan, good job, you were scared."
"Mm, Shio was super scared… but like Rinka Onee-chan said… I called Javier-kun.
"Well done.
Rinka and Shio were hugged, Sayaka who had been able to get up looks at the crowd and then looks at Javier for an explanation.
".....
".... You know, you don't have to look at me like that, I'll tell you what's going on, for now let's meet up with Asahi and Yuuna, let's go to the car, we'll be more comfortable there.
Saying this with a forced smile, Javier looks into the distance for a second before returning his gaze to the girls.
----------------------
"Ojo-sama, it seems we have been discovered. Ryuto-sama's friend, he doesn't seem to be ordinary, what do we do?"
"Mm, seeing everything that happened inside the area, it's better not to mess with them without knowing what their intentions are.
"Hm? Ojo-sama isn't being too submissive in this decision. We should tell her…"
"Permissive, not submissive! Hmph, besides, there's no need to talk to Oto-sama. The day I met Javier, I didn't sense any malice, even though he seemed to know who he was.
"Do we still not know what he could be up to? If by any chance he targets Ryuto-sama.
"He won't do it. He doesn't need to beat around the bush when he has the power to have that woman in his pocket.
"... Ojo-sama is right, if someone with such power endured the consequences within the zone, he is not someone weak, even more so when he was protecting three civilians.
"With that in mind, we can't let him get away with it either. Although we've done a thorough investigation into Javier's history, we don't know if he approached Ryuto intentionally or if it was just a coincidence.
"Yes… Ojou-sama, we have taken longer than we thought here, although this does not affect the purchase it is better to go quickly.
"Let's go. We have nothing more to do here. I thought about repaying Ryuto for the help he gave me, but it seems unnecessary. Now let's go buy my first slave. I hope it's good quality."
"Nothing to worry about, Ojo-sama. I have done a thorough job training your first slave.
The Asai princess disappeared from the rooftop of a building, along with her servant Lola. Javier was already in the car, and everyone had gathered to explain what had happened.
Everyone having a bottle of water, while Shio slept on Yuuna's legs tired, Javier begins his story, which took half an hour to explain.
"Let me get this straight. One of the families, or clans—whatever you want to call them—tried to kidnap Rinka-san and Sayaka-san, along with Yami-san. But Yami-san killed them all, and now we risk that clan coming for revenge, is what you're trying to say.
"That's the summary.
Javier nodded with his arms crossed.
"You captured it very well Asahi, hahaha.
"That's nothing to laugh about, Javier Onii-chan.
"Rinrin-chan is right, and Yami nee-san you have to control yourself, look what caused your fight.
"Stop, Sasa-chan.
Everyone inside the car felt the atmosphere becoming tense, Javier looked at Sayaka angrily, causing her to tremble.
"I will not allow anyone here present to criticize Yami's actions in the special you two ended up saving them.
Glub.
Swallowing saliva instinctively, Sayaka lowers her head in fear.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Tapping his finger on the steering wheel, he looks frustrated at the long line of cars getting gas and leaving the city.
"Long.
"...it can't be avoided; a quake of this magnitude will leave anyone uneasy. It's only natural that people will start fleeing the coasts and heading inland.
"Do you think there will be any fast food places open?"
"I highly doubt it.
"You see what you do, Yami! You should have held back a little or finished it quickly.
".....
I don't understand Javier's reasoning in accusing Yami when he had previously stated the opposite. Yuuna, seeing Shio still asleep in her arms, looked out the window at the traffic jam trying to leave the city.
"Rinka-chan, can I ask you something?
"Mm? I don't care but what is it.
"Shio told me that some bad people took them away, but Mr. Javier said that only the three of you were taken to that space and no one else, then.
"Ah, you mean that, well I don't know either, I only realized when Sayaka raised her voice and I heard that man in a suit speak, Shio-chan was next to me, but her body was glowing with a light pink color, I thought it had something to do with Javier Onii-chan.
"Uuu, it's not what you threw at Shio-chan this morning.
"...It must have been the barrier I put on Shio before, Rinka-chan when everything happened some part of your body touched Shio.
"At that moment… I remember I had taken off her blouse while Shio was trying on the new one, I must have touched her… I think.
Shaking his head from side to side, trying to remember, Asahi clenched his fist.
"Well it doesn't matter anymore, and what happened next.
Javier said, as he moved forward at a snail's pace.
"Try looking through the curtain, when…
-----------
"Who are you?
"!.
"....
Startled by Sayaka's voice, Rinka put her index finger to her lips as she tried to strain her ears and listen.
"Insightful…. Looks like it will be a valuable item…
[High-value item, what does it refer to? What's going on here?]
"Who are you?! What did you do to the people here?!"
[Saya-chan is helping me... for now I must do something, Shio-chan is here although I don't know why her body is transparent, for now let's not think about that and keep listening]
".....Do you want us to take you out by force or do you come out voluntarily?
[She knows I'm here, but alone, she doesn't seem to know about Shio, it's better that way]
Smiling weakly, Rinka takes out her cell phone and knowing that Shio can't read yet, she quickly sets off and signals for him to understand.
Hearing the loud noise, Rinka, knowing she didn't have time, rubbed Shio's head to calm her down. She left, leaving her cell phone in Shio's hands.
"I wonder what the fuss is, Onii-san.
"Fence, fence, two high-quality products, with good heads, will be very good auction products. Now do you want to follow your friend's fate or do you want to walk alone?"
[Kimi-chan was knocked out. I don't see or hear anyone either. That's what she meant when she said, {the people thing} earlier. Let's just keep smiling for now.]
"Fair enough, fair enough, two high-quality products, with good heads, will be very good auction items. Now do you want to follow your friend's fate or do you want to walk alone?"
"Hmm, I'll continue alone, but you're wrong about one thing Onii-san, that girl is my cousin.
"Hehehe, excuse the rudeness.
[I don't like this, keep looking at the fitting room, it seems this will be worse than my previous life]
"I'll go with you Onii-san, but don't hurt Rinka.
"What about the second team, did they catch the maids?"
"They don't answer. But knowing Brother Kai's temperament, he's having fun getting close to the maids.
[Tsk, so we're the three of them, right? I can't move since they grabbed my neck, other than continuing to walk. I just hope they don't walk into the fitting room and see Shio.]
Even in that situation, worrying about Shio like a big sister, Marcos entered the fitting room and found nothing. But in the corner of the fitting room, Shio was trembling with fear, like the gaze of a snake. Clutching the cell phone Rinka had given her, Shio closed her blurry eyes, unable to control the tears without making the slightest noise.
"....
Shio, who no longer hears anyone nearby, with no strength in her legs, just crawls and sticks her head out a little while grabbing the curtain to hide.
"....R-right, I-I have to call Javier-kun, like Onee-chan said.
Shaking and with her voice cracking with fear, Shio took a few seconds to dial Javier, as Rinka had shown her.
"....Hi Rinka-chan, is something wrong? You've finished shopping.
"Javier-kun help.
"Shio….
-------
"After he told me what was happening, I came right away and here we are.
"That reminds me of how you managed to get us back, Saya-chan was already in the trunk and they put me to sleep because I resisted getting in with them.
Sayaka, also wanting to know what happened while she was unconscious, looked to Javier to continue the story.
"After saying goodbye to my friends, I walked out of the mall, and that's when I realized there was a different space. After that, I easily entered and saw that they were being taken away in two different cars. Since it was a nuisance, I put everyone inside to sleep and got them out. After that, they crashed, and since the destruction was so great, they must be dead after the fight."
"So it was a hassle to save us one by one.
"Don't say it like I'm a lazy person, I just thought it was better this way, to avoid future questions about who my favorite is.
Blushing, the two teenagers chuckled at their reaction.
"Rinka-chan, Sayaka-san, how can you remain calm when you were about to be kidnapped by that evil clan?
Looking at Rinka and Sayaka's faces, they looked at Javier who nods and looked back at Yuuna.
"Will you go first?"
Sayaka asked with her arms crossed, under her tits making them stand out.
"Mmm, yes, I'll go first. Listen, and don't be surprised, but we had a past almost identical to yours, but darker, one might say.
"Hey, w-wait what are you saying.
"It started when I was 8 years old, it was five in the afternoon I think, I was with my real Onii-chan and a childhood friend. That afternoon we fought over who would be my Onii-chan's wife and our friend Otome-chan won. The two of them left as if it were a game, I was left crying inconsolably, hehehe what memories it seemed like yesterday. At that moment a man came from behind, took me to the deepest part of the park and raped me, after that the old man called more friends and they raped me right away. At the age of 11, at 12 I had already tasted the darkest pleasures of a woman.
Until I was 16, when I freed myself, of course during that time I had to have abortions many times, and my family didn't even notice, my Onii-chan didn't notice that I had sex with an old man across the room... hehehe now it's your turn Kimi-chan.
"...My stepfather is a billionaire man who separated me from my real father since I was 7 years old, I grew up in a rich lady environment, until I was 13 years old. My father took me to one of the unknown clubs for a rich girl like me, in that place there were perverts of all kinds, having abnormal wild sex, my father recorded my rape while they did what they wanted with my body from behind and in front of millionaire women and men.
"How can you two talk so lightly? Why do you act like nothing's going to happen, you raped them?!!!!"
Yuuna screamed hysterically when she saw how calm they were.
