My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

Chapter 39: There's the criminal officer



…..

Megumin:.....really?

Varakiel: yep~.

Darkness: so your name is yunyun right? My name is darkness is a pleasure working together.

….

Adventurer A: i've heard there have been some weird monsters around lately. They're not that strong, but…

Adventurer B: oh yeah, I've heard that, too. They look really strange, and if they see a moving object, they latch onto it and then explode. You're talking about those things, right?

Varakiel:....(another prey, hahaha)

Salamander: (great, hehehe.)

….

Yunyun: m-megumin since when did you became so good…

Yunyun and megumin were playing ¿chess?

Varakiel:..... strategy meeting girls, we have another prey to hunt.

Megumin: y-you mean?

Varakiel: yeah another demon king general, vanir.

Megumin: finally is time for everyone to see the majesty of my explosion fall in another demon king general.

Granberia: hold yourself child.

Yunyun: awawa, is my first day in a party and we are already dealing with a demon king general…

Varakiel: mhm, but as an arc wizard i know you will do well so do not worry, first we need to prepare, since is a prime demon, we have to be extra careful, he's capable of using mind reading and be extra careful don't let him get close to you, his weak point is only one, he is the mask himself.

Varakiel pulls out the drawing of vanir.

Varakiel: this mask is his body everything else is done with earth magic so do not waste energy attacking the clone.

Megumin: i will delete him with my explosion magic!

Varakiel: you will have to wait child, i think he might be residing in khiel dungeon, the reports shows that most of those weird explosive monsters came near there.

Darkness: i see, but there's must be a catch with him.

Varakiel: mhm he can possess anyone as long his mask is put on us.

Granberia: even you?

Varakiel: i am not sure, but i am sure a strong will is harder to get possess, and thats why we will need an arc-priest and sealing charms.

Darkness: are we doing this today? Should i go get aqua?

Varakiel: we aren't, we need to prepare first, megumin yunyun, i will leave to you getting the sealing charm here are 50m eris the better the charm the better our success so don't care about prices, care about power.

Yunyun: l-leave it to us! Lets go megumin!

Megumin: alright time to prepare to hunt another demon king general, lets go ahead yunyun ill show you why i am the number one red demon eye wizard!

Yunyun and megumin rushed outside.

Varakiel: darkness you will be in care of bringing aqua when the time comes for now.

Darkness: leave it to me, i been paying visit to aqua so i know mostly were she goes all the time!

Varakiel: good, as for me and granberia well we only can train and get stronger hahaha.

Granberia: indeed that's the only thing we can do.

…..

Varakiel: heya chris!

Chris: o-oh its you….what is it?

Chris still remembers that he stole his underwear with steal, and how careful he was when he gave it back….

Varakiel: well i have come to give you back some things you might want.

Chris: me? Things? Are we talking about money?

Varakiel: come with me.

Varakiel and chris go to a back alley.

…..

Chris: ehhh!? The Magic sword gram , and the change body necklace!?

Varakiel: hehe, i know you are looking for these artifact, eris.

Chris: i- i don't know what are you talking about.

Varakiel: hey don't act dumb, i already know, granberia already recognized you.

Chris:.....and how do you know that i am collecting the lost heaven artifacts?

Varakiel: i have enough evidence to keep you for 3 life times in jail~.

Chris: i am sorry for doubting you, officer.

Chris says hastly…

Varakiel: haha, don't worry I don't want to put a god in jail i might get cursed after all.

Chris: i-i wouldn't do something like that! After all i have indeed commited a

Crime…

Varakiel: then here you go the gram and the necklace that was given to the royal princess, if you ever need help retrieving one, you know were to find me, but not soon i have found that there's a demon king general nearby and i am preparing to hunt it down.

Chris: ehhhh!!!? Another one!? H-have you informed the guild yet!?

Varakiel: there's no need yet, even though i believe the succubus don't mean harm to humans I can't trust they wouldn't relay information to him.

Chris: the succubus?.....i-its it vanir!?

Varakiel: mhm you get things fast are you sure you don't want to join my party?

Chris: w-well i have heard aqua-senpai is joining your party so i don't want to disturb.

Varakiel: well the thing is that aqua seems to have forgot about my offer…..

Chris: i-its that so?....ill think about it.

Varakiel: really? Great, granberia as wanted to meet you aswell, she says that so far you are the only competent god she has meet.

Chris: i-i see then is that all?

Varakiel: mhm but it will be a huge help if you came to vanir's raid.

Chris: of course!

Varakiel: great, then I'll take my leave see you later~.

Varakiel then happily leaves.

Chris looks at the gram and the necklace on her hands.

Chris: maybe i can work with him after all…

….

….

Darkness:...

Varakiel looked at the fairly dressed darkness in front of him

Granberia: you look stupid child.

Varakiel: yes those clothes don't go with her style, she is really suited to be a crusader.

Darkness: h-hey!

Varakiel: just kidding you look gorgeous, hahaha.

Granberia: hehe, indeed but why are you dress like this?

Darkness: well…..

Darkness explained about her father always wanting to quit adventuring, and his plan of matchmaking so she gets married and retires

Varakiel: ah i see well that's kind of awful, you shouldn't force your child to do what he doesn't want to no matter how good it does for him.

Granberia: yeah, thats manipulation and self satisfaction.

Darkness: ngh, that's right. Honestly, I'm happy living the way we are now. If we keep adventuring like this, then one day i might become more widely known, and then an evil wizard or an agent of the demon king might notice me, and then he might take me hel-ow

Granberia smack her head hardly enough to make smoke come from it.

Granberia: put yourself together child!

Megumin and yunyun who were back from buying the charm join the conversation.

Megumin: but still were did you got this clothes from?

Yunyun: are you actually a noble darkness?

Varakiel: hm? You two didn't know?

Darkness: y-you knew?

Varakiel: of course, darkness i am an adventurer, information is my fortress.

Darkness: my…my real name is lalatina ford dustiness. I'm the daughter of a…a fairly substantial noble house.

Megumin & yunyun: what!?

Varakiel: mhm, and what do you mean fairly substantial, your family runs the country.

Granberia: lalatina…

Darkness: d-don't call me that…!

Lalatina shouted, her face red and her eyes brimming with tears.

Granberia: uhh sorry child…..

Megumin: whew. Well, i am certainly surprised. But darkness is darkness. To me, that means an extremely tough crusader and a valuable friend. Nothing more, nothing less.

Varakiel: mhm, not care about status we are family after all. If it helps i could be called a king back in my world.

Granberia: monster lord varakiel….

Darkness: m-monster lord!?

Varakiel: mhm, granberia might not look like it right now but she is a dragon, but she got transformed has a human due to the world transfer.

Megumin: a-a-a dragon!?

Granberia: the term is dragon kin, i have scales and a tail but i have human traits like hair two legs and two arms.

Yunyun: a-and varakiel?

Varakiel: oh well i am a human all the way through, on our world human and monsters live in coexistance, and i am married to the monster lord, so i am considered a monster lord aswell and granberia is one of my knights.

Darkness: i-incredible no wonder you're so calm and collected you are a king…..

Varakiel: but enough of my past, do you have a picture of the guy?

Darkness:....here.

Darkness hands a picture of the match for darkness.

Varakiel: hmmmm….very handsome, he looks chilvarious, and....hes rightful…alright you should do the match.

Darkness , megumin & yunyun: ehhhh!!??

Megumin: d-do you want darkness to meet the guy!? 

Varakiel: mhm, I don't see the issue.

Yunyun: b-but what if….

Varakiel: not what if, darkness isn't made for that kid of guy..

Darkness:....h-hey are you saying that i am so Worthless *pant* hann- ow!

Granberia: calm down child!

Granberia smack her.

Varakiel: this guy doesn't want to marry a noble girl,he would love a commoner life a simple life without royal responsibilities, i am 100% sure he will reject darkness as long she acts as a noble.

Megumin: j-just from a picture?

Granberia: i already told you he knows how to deal with people a lot, he's not my king for anything you know.

Varakiel: mhm but before your king i am your husband after all~.

Granberia: hmph, idiot.

A pink aura surrounded both of them.

Yunyun: (they are a beautiful couple)hehe.

Megumin: s-so darkness do like varakiel said!

Darkness: i see so he's that kind of guy, alright then I'll do as you say…

Varakiel: good then we will wait until you're done to deal with vanir, now I'll go to the guild to see if has there been any change in this matter.

Granberia: alright, ill go to the blacksmith to check out our gear.

Yunyun: we will keep looking for a better sealing charm!

Megumin: yeah we haven't found a good one yet!

Varakiel: okay, then see you later…..

Then everyone went on their own ways.
