“You, take me with you there!”

　It’s Bishi⌈¹⌋ again! As Kitora said this the thrust out her finger towards me.

“You want to come with us? Why do you want to enter the dungeon?”

　As I asked her again I got interrupted by Crescent Moon and my seniors.

“It doesn’t matter why. It’s impossible, impossible. You want to fight together with a priest of darkness?”

“That’s right. We don’t know when she might curse us, I don’t want to be turned into an undead.”

“I’m objecting to that as well. I don’t know when this priest of darkness might betray us. Since she’s not trustworthy I can’t leave my back to her as a comrade.”

　Are priests of darkness really that hated?
　Exposed to those three’s words Kitora had a strained expression.

“You’re saying whatever you want, huh? But the God of darkness isn’t equal to pure evil. Other than the God of Light’s teachings “No matter what you do you have to be just” the God of Darkness doctrine is “For your purpose the means don’t matter”. It doesn’t mean I absolutely have to do bad things!”⌈²⌋

　Mmm, it’s rather subtle though I understand what you’re trying to say.
　Though I don’t particularly want to do bad things but I wouldn’t mind doing them if it’s for my purpose, something like that.
　In any case, Bass-senpai doesn’t seem to get the meaning.
　It looked like question marks were flying around my senior’s head.

“Besides, I can use healing spells as well! There aren’t just curses and attack spells among the darkness magic!”

　Heeh, I didn’t know Priests of Darkness could use recovery spells.
　As there is no healer in our party isn’t this quite good?
　Just when I thought that Bass-senpai intervened in a hurry.

“Impossible, impossible, impossible. I don’t want to be treated by a Priest of Darkness! I’m scared that she might curse me when she tells me she wants to cure me so I just can’t!”

“You, your head seems to be quite empty. That’s why you’re going to stay an underling for the rest of your life. You don’t know anything about me so don’t messily throw in such meaningless lines”

“Wh, who’s an underling?!”

　This beautiful Priestess of Darkness has a rather sharp tongue.
　Bass-senpai got furiously angry at being called an underling he even forgot about his former fear.
　The female thief, Pick, who watched from the side secretly laughed.
　Could it be that everyone thought that Bass-senpai is stupid?⌈³⌋

“Bass, don’t get so angry. You said you were Kitora? Are you sure about entering the dungeon with us?”

“As I said before, yes! Ah, could it be that you doubt my power? Fine, I’ll prove myself.”

　As Kitora said this she turned and looked around before her eyes stopped on Drum-senpai.

“Oh my, isn’t your arm injured? Fine, I’ll cure you”

“No, I’m good. A wound like this will heal immediately. See, it’s already healing. Therefore your treatment isn’t needed”

　Now that she says it Drum-senpai certainly does have a light injury on his arm.
　It seems like a sword grazed him a little when we were fighting the skeletons a while ago.
　But it looks like Drum seriously hates this and tries to refuse her with all his might.

“I said it’ll be over in an instant! Stop rambling and come over here!”

　The beautiful female Priestess (of Darkness, though) with raven-black hair grabbed Drum-senpai’s arm with no questions asked.

“Now, let’s start the treatment. Behave yourself or you might get hurt!”

“Hiii!”

　Drum-senpai shuts his eyes tightly like a kid before it gets an injection and his whole body tensed up.
　While feeling scared Crescent Moon and Bass-senpai were watching two to three steps away though their eyes were glued to the scene.

“Here I go!”

　As she said so Kitora’s mace was surrounded by a black sphere.
　Then she started chanting while covering the wound with one hand.
　Something like black fog gradually flows out of her palm and appears to cover the wound.
　As they stood with their backs turned towards me I couldn’t see much.

“Uwaaaaaa!”

　Crescent Moon and Bass who watched suddenly jumped backwards while screaming.
　While hugging each other they looked at Kitora’s face as if they were looking at something unbelievable.
　They weren’t able to speak out of fear, but what could have…….
Just when I thought that, Kitora slowly turned this way.

“I’m don–”

“Uwaaaao!”

　I also unintentionally raised a surprised voice.
　Because Kitora’s eyes — the part which should be white turned black so her whole eyeball was shining black.
　Scary, too scary.
　This is something right out of a Horror movie.
　Pick also opened her eyes wide in surprise, only Knopf was curious and started to talk in an interested manner.

“Those eyes are amazing”

“Aah, this? Wait a minute”

　As Kitora said this she slowly closed her eyes and held her hands over her eyelids for a bit.
　After waiting a bit she slowly opened her eyes again and the original beautiful Priestess (of Darkness though) stood there.

“About this, this is kind of like a side effect of having signed a contract with the God of Darkness in particular.”

“Side effect?”

“Right. Even though I say it’s the God of Darkness there isn’t just one. There are many Gods. Among them, I’m serving Gladis also called “the God of War”. You see this ball, right?”

　As Kitora uttered this she raised her Mace and showed us the ball which was attached to the handle.

“This stone is called hematite and symbolises the God of War Gladis. It’s also known as “Blood Stone“. And the same thing is embedded here–”

　While saying this she pointed at her own forehead.
　A gem with a black lustre was certainly displayed there.
　So it is embedded?
　Didn’t that hurt?
　By the way, it’s absolutely impossible for me to get a piercing.⌈⁴⌋

“This Hematite is the proof that I made a special contract with Gladis. My power is greatly strengthened by this contract. Additionally, thanks to this I’m able to use some spells even if I don’t have a ball at hand⌈⁵⌋ . On the other hand, when I’m using spells they make my eyes look like hematites. It’s only temporary, though”

　After she finished explaining to Knopf she turned towards me.

“You asked me why I want to enter the dungeon, right? There are two reasons.”

　She put up her index finger after she said this.

“Firstly, there’s a new dungeon and it’s an S-type so there should be various types of monsters inside, right? If I find a good one there I want to make it my familiar as a substitute for my skeleton. As you’re the ones who broke them you’ll naturally cooperate, right?”

　After she teasingly laughed after finishing her sentence she put up the next finger.

“Secondly, I can’t tell you the details now but I want to investigate something. This might be involved in your own investigation. How is it, do you think you would lose anything if you take me with you?”

　Yeah, her healing spells are surely attractive.
　That spell is slightly scary if I think about having to watch her eyes turn black every time.
　But, well, normally she’s just a book girl, normally that is.

“Akatsuki~ stop it. I’m kind of crept out. It’s just……that.”

　Crescent Moon said so while looking towards Knopf for an instant.
　Looks like she’s still bad at dealing with Knopf.
　Unexpectedly Crescent Moon seems to be bad with things like that unlike what her image makes one belief.
　Although she’s someone who likes to mess around with people she herself is actually bad with this kind of stuff.

“That’s right, Head, it’s like big sis said.”

“I will follow your decision, Head. She skilfully cured the wound.”

　Bass-senpai objects and Drum, well, I guess he reluctantly agrees.

“What about Pick?”

“Anything’s fine. Something like a Priest of Darkness serving “The God of War”, honestly, that sound pretty cool”

“Oh my, thank you. I wonder if you still have hope.”

　Pick doesn’t actively agree nor oppose, huh?
　Though she looks like a little girl but she’s still a female thief, she got guts.
　What about Knopf?

“I think this would be good. The effects of her magic got confirmed just now and from what I’ve heard she seems to be skilled as well. There are various things I want to ask you about dark magic.”

“As I thought you understand it. I like girls of the intellectual type.”
Even if you call her girl aside from her appearance Knopf is actually 30 years old on the inside.
　Well. Let’s keep silent or she’ll get angry if I say it.
　Besides, I don’t even know the actual age of this beautiful priestess.

“Then it’s decided by majority vote. Kitora, we are in your care.”

“Akatsuki-san, right? Likewise, I’m in your care.”

　Kitora picked her Goth loli-like skirt’s hem and greeted us elegantly.
　She isn’t only good looking she’s an amazingly beautiful girl.

“Hey, Akatsuki, are you serious? I don’t think she’s up to anything good.”

“That’s right, let’s stop here, Head”

“As you are stupid, be silent.”

“You, who are you calling stupid?! The person calling someone stupid is- -“⌈⁶⌋

　Good grief, they are noisy.
　Like this, a Healer joined out party.
　Now, shall we go to the dungeon?

it’s the sfx for pointing etc. here are example pics ↩
Isn’t that fitting for these particular group of people? I mean the seniors and Pick were thieves and even kidnapped some defenceless girls to get money, then there is Crescent Moon who would do anything for money and Knopf probably would do anything for her research as well so I mean come on. ↩
Eeeyup ↩
Well, my ears are pierced but I wouldn’t want to have something like that anywhere else ↩
a ball made out of that type of stone ↩

Very Pure & Ambiguous - The Prequel

Chapter 30 – Car Accident

Seeing my anger, Chen Weier didn’t dare to say anything, and merely walked over to squat beside Zhao Yanyan.

“What happened!” I asked coldly. I glared at the culprit’s car, it was a brand new Mercedes s600, on it was Liu’s Car Shop’s logo, so it was a person that have come to try out a car that hit Zhao Yanyan.

“I’m… Sorry, Director Liu, it’s my fault…” The accompanying driver said to Liu Yue with a tremble.

At this moment, Liu Yue’s face was already full of tears as she felt extremely guilty. Seeing that the accident was caused by her car shop, she felt even more guilty.

“This is an issue? ****, didn’t I just hit someone, is there a need to act like this!” At this moment, the young man with a cigarette in his started speaking. He cockily threw the rest of the cigarette onto the floor, stamped on it to extinguish it and continued, “I hit the person, say it, how much?”

Hearing that, I even had an intent to kill. Dragons have scales, if you touch those, you die, and Zhao Yanyan is my greatest scale! I thought about it, then calmed myself, this was a busy district, if I kill someone, it will bring about a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, not killing him doesn’t mean that I will leave it like this! I glared at the young man, then said a phrase coldly, “I won’t let you go!”

“Who are you? Are you the family member of this person on the floor? That’s good, how much do you want, say a number, you pretty much blackmailed laozi, laozi will just give in!” The cocky young man said.

I didn’t say anything, and just reached out to a metal fence on the side of the car park, then pulled, stripping the metal stick from the chains.

“What… What are you doing?” The cocky young man said with a bit of terror.

“You know immediately,” I put the metal bar in my hands.

The cocky young man momentarily blanked, and before he reacted, my metal bar was already smashed on his leg, with a clear crack of the bones, along with a howl, the cocky young man immediately full onto the ground like a pile of mud.

I threw the bar to the side, and said calmly, “Scream for what, didn’t you just have two broken legs, how much do you want, say it.”

“You… You…” The cocky young man was already unable to speak from the pain, as someone who has been spoiled since birth, when has he felt this sort of suffering!

“I what! Okay now, the ambulance is here, are you going to the hospital or not? If you don’t, then I’ll carry my wifey there!” I laughed coldly and said.

“Wait… Wait! I’m going! Bring me there!” No matter how cocky the young man was, he couldn’t help but give in, since his life was the most important, by saving his life, everything was fine!

After Zhao Yanyan was brought to the hospital, they directly pushed her into the operation room.

I felt like I spent days or even years outside the operation room while Chen Weier comforted me on the side. Although I knew that Zhao Yanyan was fine in my heart, without seeing Zhao Yanyan come out, I was unable to relax.

“Who is the patient’s family member?” A doctor is a white gown walked out from the operation room.

I hurriedly stood up and said to the doctor, “I am!”

“What is your relationship to the patient?” The doctor asked me after looking at me.

“I’m her husband!” I said.

“Oh!” The doctor nodded and said. “The patient has a head injury, there is a blood clot inside, we have to take it out with craniotomy, this is the consent form, look at it, if you agree, then we’ll immediately prepare for the operation!”

“Is there danger… I mean what is the success probability, and is there any side effects?” I asked.

“About this… From past experience, the success rate of this operation is above ninety five percent, since the position of the blood clot is very obvious, it’s rather easy to take out! As for side effects… Since she’s a girl, she might have a scar on her head after operation, but since you are married, it should be fine!” said the doctor.

I let out a long sigh of relief, since the doctor dared to say it’s above ninety five percent, then that basically means there should be no problem with the surgery at all, it’s just that he didn’t dare to say a hundred percent, because nothing is absolute!

As for a scar, I’m not scared, the healing ability out of my powers can heal wounded skin, causing it to turn like it’s new.

After I signed my name on the consent form, the doctor returned to the operation room.

Just when I sat down and prepare to rest for a while, a few policemen barged in. After seeing me, they said, “You are suspected of wounding with intent, please come with us to the police station for the investigation!”

I looked over at them, then immediately understood, it seems like the person I beat up had some background, otherwise, the police wouldn’t have come so quickly.

“The brat with the broken leg called you over, right?” I said calmly. “Yeah, I hit him.”

“Oh? Since you admit it, then come with us! Xiao Zhang, take him away!” The tall police in the lead ordered.

“Wait!” I said. “My girlfriend got hit by a car, she’s having an operation done!”

“You! I’m telling you, you must come with us! I’m on a mission!” The police called Xiao Zhang said.

“Then arrest the culprit that hit her first!” I said coldly.

“You! Do you know who you hit?” Xiao Zhang glared at me and said.

“Alright now, Xiao Zhang, wait till after the operation!” The police in the lead waved his hand and said to Xiao Zhang. “What do you mean who he hit, where did you get so much ******** from, no matter who, we have to do it by the books!”

“But, Superintendent Li, this was ordered by the city’s police department, this Young Master Chen is a Hong Kong businessman, and came to survey their investments, we should take care…” Xiao Zhang muttered quietly.

“Shut up! Are you the superintendent or am I the superintendent? City’s police department? Do you want to go over me?” The police superintendent, Superintendent Li, said in displeasure.

Then he turned his head and said to me, “We are just investigating the citation, since there’s a special circumstance, then let’s take your statement here!”

Since I saw that this Superintendent Li was a rather just person and not like some officials that admired foreigners, I got much less angry, thus I said, “Alright, what do you want to ask.”

“It’s like this, according to the victim, you used a metal fence to break the victim’s leg, a lot of witnesses were there, it can be said that there is solid proof, do you have any explanations for this?” Superintendent Li asked.

Thus, I told him about how that cocky Young Master Zhang crashed into Zhao Yanyan and how he spoke without any sort of restraint.

“Anyone would get angry because of this, if you look at the situation, it’s understandable that you did that, but not by law!” Superintendent Li said helplessly after hearing that. “Actually, this isn’t that major of a deal, but it isn’t minor either, if both sides were normal civilians, we would just talk it over and settle it in private. The problem is that the other side is a Hong Kong businessman… Furthermore, this Young Master Chen, is the young master of Hong Kong’s Chen’s Corporation, and has come to survey potential investments, if the cooperation succeeds, it would bring a lot of benefits for the mainland’s economy, thus, the higher-ups are paying very close attention to this. Now that Young Master Chen got hurt, the higher-ups immediately got us, police, strict orders to deal with this heavily…”

Very Pure & Ambiguous - The Prequel

Chapter 29 – Zhao Yanyan’s Danger

Zhao Yanyan continued, “So it’s like this… Liu’s Car Shop, I was wondering why it was so familiar, haha, Liu Lei, Liu Yue, this Liu’s is great!” With that, tears flowed down like flowing water.

This was the first time Zhao Yanyan had made such a scene ever she was with me. Although I didn’t understand the reason, I knew that this must be related to Liu Yue. Thus, I quickly gave Liu Yue a cue for her to speak a bit less. Liu Yue glared at me and mouthed, “You owe me a favor!”

I faint! This was clearly all caused by her, yet she’s making me owe her, does she think that I’m an easily deceived generous person! However, I had no other choice at the moment, I’ll leave everything till after I comforted Zhao Yanyan!

Thus, I hurried over to hold Zhao Yanyan, and said softly, “Yanyan, this car shop does have my investment, but it’s not what you think! We’re only cooperating!”

“You’re lying!” Zhao Yanyan choked. “I don’t object you finding other women, but just not her!”

“I… Yanyan, there really isn’t anything going on between her and I!” I said anxiously.

“I don’t believe you!” Zhao Yanyan said as she pushed away my hands and ran off while crying. Zhao Yanyan’s heart did actually accept Liu Lei’s explanation, even though he was a bit fickle in love, he never lied to her, and just say whatever was true! However, Zhao Yanyan still felt terrible in her heart!

As Liu Yue looked at the sad Zhao Yanyan, she didn’t know why, but she lost her animosity that she had before. Instead, it was replaced by a feeling of her unable to beat it all! Thus, she said, “Liu Lei, did you go dumb, what are you blanking out for, hurry up and chase her!”

I momentarily blanked, then immediately chased.

However, when I ran to the entrance of the car shop, I heard the sharp sound of a car breaking, followed by the sound of a crash…

My heart suddenly tightened as a terrible feeling surged up into my heart!

I swiftly ran out of the car shop and saw Zhao Yanyan lying in the car park not far away. Her face was stark red, the corners of her mouth was full of blood. Not far from her was a Mercedes, beside the car was a young man with a cigarette in his mouth that was frowning as she watched Zhao Yanyan on the floor.

“Yanyan!” I yelled and ran over, then immediately kneeled onto the floor! My mind was completely blanked! Just how did I die for in my previous life, and why did I get reborn! This was all because of Zhao Yanyan, it could be said that she was my everything, if anything happened to her, what meaning is there to my life!

“Yanyan, what happened, don’t scare me!” I grabbed hold of Zhao Yanyan and said with a tremble in my voice.

History changed, it changed completely! It will never develop according to the original track! I was no longer the transmigrated person that can predict the future!

At this moment, Chen Weier and Liu Yue also rushed over. Seeing Zhao Yanyan’s appearance, they freaked. Liu Yue’s tears immediately dropped, she kneeled beside Zhao Yanyan and chocked, “Zhao Yanyan, sorry! It’s all my fault… Don’t be angry, actually, there’s nothing between Liu Lei and I… I… I just wanted to compete with you… I’m wrong… I’m begging you, don’t scare us!”

Chen Weier was a bit calmer, she quickly took out her mobile to call the police and then the ambulance.

“I… I don’t blame you!’ Zhao Yanyan struggled to open her eyes and said forcefully to Liu Yue, “Go… Go away for a moment, I… I have a few words I want to say alone with Liu Lei…”

Liu Yue and Chen Weier looked at each other after hearing it, then silently walked to the side to find the driver responsible.

After seeing the two people walk away, she turned around, and said to me with a soft and reluctant gaze. She reached out her hand and tried her best to touch my face, but she was unable to msuter the strength. I quickly grabbed hold of Zhao Yanyan’s hands and put it on my face, “Yanyan, don’t say anything, the ambulance is coming very quickly, hold on for a while, you can go to the hospital very quickly!”

“No… I have to say it! I’m scared that if I don’t say it… I… won’t have the chance to!” Zhao Yanyan said softly. “There’s something, I always wanted to tell you, but you were no longer there… Director Liu, that day at the hospital, I said to you, I will marry you at all cost…”

Hearing the words that Zhao Yanyan said, I was completely shocked! I was no longer there? Director Liu? Hospital?

This was something I couldn’t be even more familiar with, it was what happened before I was reborn! How did Zhao Yanyan know?

“Yanyan, what are you saying? How do you know all this?” I said in surprise.

“Liu Lei… You are someone that has been reborn, right?” Zhao Yanyan said.

“What!” I couldn’t be more shocked… My greatest secret, that I have never mentioned to anyone. Zhao Yanyan actually knew about it!

“You… don’t need to be surprise, I know about you, actually, I won’t hide it from you either, I’m also that has been reborn…” With that, Zhao Yanyan’s eyes closed.

I could feel the hand that Zhao Yanyan held me with tightly suddenly let go as her body fell to the side.

“Yanyan!” I screamed!

My mind was in a state of utter chaos, why was it like this? Yanyan was reborn as well? Then what about that Zhao Yanyan in my previous life?

Yet now, I couldn’t think about that at all! What I was most worried about was Zhao Yanyan’s safety! Whether or not Zhao Yanyan was reborn was no longer of importance to me, regardless of which Zhao Yanyan, she is the love of my life! I will not permit anything to happen to her!

All of a sudden, I remember that my subordinate, Du Xiaowei had once gotten heavily wounded when he was on a bodyguard mission, and was near death, my martial nephew Jiaoyazi had used his powers to save him! The powers I had were of the same kind as Jiaoyazi, furthermore, the powers I had were above his, then doesn’t that mean I can use the same method to save Zhao Yanyan!

Although I couldn’t be sure that my method would definitely work, there was no harm in trying. Even if my powers don’t work, it won’t have any side effects after entering someone else’s body, at least before the ambulance arrives, I have to try!

I held Zhao Yanyan’s hand and slowly sent my qi into Zhao Yanyan’s body. The qi fused with Zhao Yanyan’s body without any accidents, thus I used the methods that Jiaoyazi taught me to heal Zhao Yanyan’s wounded nerves and organs.

Very slowly, under the influence of my qi, Zhao Yanyan’s body begun to heal, her breathing also calmed down. However, my ability was unable to deal with everything perfectly, even Jiaoyazi couldn’t.

Even so, it was enough for Zhao Yanyan to hold on until the ambulance came. I put Zhao Yanyan down lightly and said to Chen Weier, “Weier, take care of Yanyan for a bit.” Then I stood up, and walked to the culprit of this accident with blood shot eyes.

Author Reincarnated

[Vol. 3] Chapter 6 – The Priest of Darkness

“What on earth are you doing?!”

　Bishi!　A strong-minded beautiful girl wearing black from head to toe pointed at me with such a force that it seemed to give off a sound.
　Her black hair stretched to her waist her eyes were glimmering black like two black gem decorating her forehead and in her hand she held a mace unbecoming of such a beautiful girl.
　Her expression……was obviously showing her anger.
　But even when she’s angry this pretty girl is still beautiful.

“You, did you hear me? I asked you what you think you are doing. Hey, are you even listening?!”

　While she still pointed at me I looked around and then she started walking towards me.
　She was neither tall nor small, she was much smaller than Crescent Moon but taller than Knopf.
　She wore antique black clothes with a lot of laces which was something a gothloli would wear but it looked good on her.
　Such a beautiful girl was standing in front of me and pointed her finger straight at my nose.
　But why is she so angry?⌈¹⌋

“I saw you hitting that child hard with that fire sword after I finally came back after a long time”

　”Coming back” here?
　With child did she mean the skeleton from a while ago?!

“……I’m not sure what you’re talking about but does this place belong to you?”

“That’s what I said a while ago! What on earth are you doing in my church?”

“Your church or whatever. As we took shelter from the rain those skeletons came out……”⌈²⌋

“That’s right we didn’t come to exterminate them rather we were attacked.”

　Crescent Moon send me a rescue boat from the side.

“Some woman whose brain is only made out of muscles and all the nourishment went to her chest should just shut up! How could you get attacked when I made them, huh? Why are you saying meaningless things?!”

“Wha, yo……”

　This time that black, beautiful girl cursed at Crescent Moon while pointing at her.
　Hey, hey, that strong-minded Crescent Moon let such swears slide and fell silent.
　I wonder why this made me slightly excited.
　Wait, did she just say „I made them”?!

“By you made them, you mean you made those skeletons?”

“Like. I. Said. I mentioned that just now, right? I made them. It was really hard to do!”⌈³⌋

　You didn’t mention that just now.
　I don’t get what’s going on.

“Could you calm down a little? I don’t really get what you’re saying. You came back when we were fighting the skeletons you made. So, you got angry because we killed your skeletons?”⌈⁴⌋

“That’s right, so you do get it. Is there anyone who wouldn’t be angry if some people entered one’s house without permission and broke one’s possessions?”

　Well, that’s true if she put it that way.
　If the Hero did such a thing no one would get angry at him.
　If the person is a Hero even if they open their closets or break some pots and barrels no one would give a damn.⌈⁵⌋

“Well, of course, but you were holding skeletons in your house. Anyway, how about we first sit down and have a talk?”

“Hmpf, well, fine. Slowly explain to me what happened”

　Then that black, beautiful girl lowered her finger which was pointed at me.
What a relief, because that was some huge pressure.　

“So you generally entered this church without permission, tore of the floorboards and what were you thinking creating a bonfire inside a room?!”

　In the end she got angry again as we sat down around the bonfire.

“……These guys did it”

　Crescent Moon blamed my seniors.⌈⁶⌋

“What are you saying? We just did it because you told us to”

“That’s right, big sis, you’re being unreasonable”

　My seniors who fell silent panicked as they were exposed to the black girl’s excessively angry looks.
　I certainly feel sorry for them.

“Please accept my apology. I’m Akatsuki, a mercenary working as an adventurer. You are?”

“I’m Kitora, a priest serving the God of Darkness”

　The black girl or Kitora stuck out her chest proudly as she announced her name.
My seniors who heard this were obviously surprised.

“A Priest of Darkness, seriously……?”

“This is bad, Head. We shouldn’t get involved with her”⌈⁷⌋

“That’s right Akatsuki, we should quickly leave. A priest of darkness isn’t the best to be around.”

　Crescent Moon and my seniors agreed with each other.
　”Priest of Darkness” surely sounds like it but are they really dangerous?

“You said you were a priest of darkness, so you really made those skeletons?”

　Knopf who was rather interested asked her a question.
　Kitora also softened her expression a little.

“Oh, seems like I can talk to you a little. That’s right, I made them”

“How did you do it specifically?”

“The procedure isn’t that complicated. As there were many bones of dead soldiers around this area because of a war I gathered them. The problem is if you don’t gather enough bones according to a human body it becomes more brittle if there are parts missing. It’s pretty tough as I have to arrange the size.”

“Then did you collect them one by one?”

“Well, since there were many complete ones in the back room of this church it was easy.”

“Isn’t this what big sis told us……?”

“Right? As I thought my reasoning was correct”

　Hey, Crescent Moon, don’t brag about stuff like that.⌈⁸⌋

“So, how did you make the skeleton soldiers?”

“I used darkness magic. Specifically, I used necromancy”

“But didn’t those skeletons move fast? They also used weapons and shields.”

　Crescent Moon who also got curious asked a question following Knopf.

“My, that’s a good question. Though I thought only your chest was big and your head was empty but it seems like there’s at least a little in there. That’s right, these aren’t common skeletons. I used my secret ability to raise their speed and power and made them able to use weapons. This is pretty hard to do though.”

　I see, it’s only reasonable for her to get angry after we invaded her territory without permission and broke her skeletons which she created after much hardship.
　Though I’ll still be troubled if you get that angry.

“So, what are you guys going to do? Even just arranging the bones is quite hard. Even if there are dead bodies around I won’t be able to make a skeleton.”

“Even if there’s a body you can’t make skeletons?”

　Kitora answered Knopf’s question amazed.

“Well, of course. If there’s still meat attached it will turn into a zombie. Those things are smelly and unsanitary, I don’t want them to be where I’m living. First of all they don’t look cute at all.”

　I don’t think that skeletons look much prettier but they don’t seem to stink.

“So the only difference in making a Zombie or a Skeleton is the material otherwise it’s the same procedure?”

“Well, it’s like that. And regarding Zombies, they are hard to use as they still have some of their ego left. In that aspect I like the obedient skeletons more because they do what you tell them”

　Though Knopf is listening very attentively for what on earth are you going to use this information?
　Sometimes I don’t know what to do with this cat-eared mad scientist.
　I’m afraid she’ll try to artificially create zombies and skeletons without using magic.

“Even if you tell us something like that I’m troubled. Well, would you be satisfied with money?”

“Money? Even if I get it it’s not useful to me. Money is the least interesting thing to me.”

　Hey, Crescent Moon, did you hear that?
　After having heard such an unbelievable thing she stared at her in utter amazement.
　There’s a person who isn’t interested in money in this world.

“Even if she said that we don’t know any other method to settle this except with money……”

　I turned my head and whispered to Crescent Moon whose face looked rather bad.

“How about we give her those guys to substitute her skeletons?”

　While she said so she gave my seniors some meaningful looks.

“I, isn’t that a little too mean?!”⌈⁹⌋

“That’s right, big sis, isn’t this awfully exaggerated?”
Kitora spoke coldly to my seniors who hastily and earnestly protested.

“That’s not necessary, I don’t need something like that. If it’s about that, Skeletons are many times more useful than them.”⌈¹⁰⌋

“U, umu……”

　My seniors showed an expression not knowing if they should be pleased or annoyed by her declining them and they fell silent.

“So, where do you intend to go from here on?”

　I’m a little relieved that Kitora changed the subject.
　It wasn’t a secret in particular so I told her about the dungeon exploration.

“Heh, I didn’t know that such a dungeon appeared around here ……”

　As I said that Kitora seems to be lost in thoughts but then her eyes suddenly started to glitter and pointed her finger at me again.

“You, take me with you there!”

World of Immortals

Chapter 205 – The Sudden Marriage (Part One)

A peerless beauty would inevitably attract people’s fancy from afar. It must be mentioned that, chasing after beautiful things was in human’s nature. Being beautiful was indeed one kind of capital. Fairsnow had a matchless appearance, which added to her value among the young ladies of her age. She would inevitably attract attention everywhere she go. She was, without a doubt, an influential person among the circle of aristocratic girls. As a result, she was always the center of attention among her peers.

Fairsnow has a graceful figure and walked over elegantly. As she revealed a slight smile, her pearly white teeth were exposed. Her voice was very pleasant to listen to as she said, “Brother Zhuge, make sure to come to my house later, don’t be late.” Following that, she turned around with a faint smile as she looked at Xiao Chen, and said, “I never have the chance to have a proper talk with brother Xiao, I wonder if you are free to come to Fair house today?”

Other than the close contact at the Paradise Spa last time, the two had never been in touch. At this moment, it seemed as if Fairsnow had already forgotten about the event from that time. She didn’t feel awkward at all. On the contrary, she seemed calm and indifferent.

Xiao Chen originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, other clans will come to invite him even if he refused the Fair family. Moreover, the Fair family and Zhuge family had sent people to invite him several times, if he refuse again, it would be rude to their families.

“Alright, I originally wanted to pay a visit anyway. Just that I felt it would be too presumptuous of me to visit without any invitation.”

“Many thanks to brother Xiao.” Seeing that Xiao Chen had agreed so easily, Fairsnow revealed a smile. She said very sincerely, “I know that you must be feeling a little unhappy. You must be aware of why the major clans came to invite you today. But just let me say this; such is the way of life. This world is truly very realistic, there is no hate or love without good cause, no friendship or sweet-talk with no reason. Once the bright-colored skin has been peeled off, everything would be pale and colorless. You have very eye-catching strength, so you will naturally receive the major clan’s passionate invitation.”

Speaking until here, the beautiful Fairsnow mocked herself and said, “Do you despise me? You don’t need to answer, because you will definitely make up a flowery lie. In any case, I also don’t have much of a choice, I’m just following my family’s order. However, such is reality. Hehe… to be honest, when my family decided to send me here, I was not really that against it, because I feel that, between you and I, there isn’t the slightest bit of non-acceptance. This is the truth.”

Fairsnow’s beautiful eyes looked exceptional. To be known as one of the pearls of the South, she was indeed devastatingly beautiful. Her beauty made people unable to free themselves from the state of drunkenness the moment they laid eyes on her. She declared her purpose in coming so frankly and directly lifted the veil that the other major clans were unwilling to open. Xiao Chen had a whole new level of respect for her. When some matters were revealed, people would feel more comfortable in contrast.

As for Fairsky, he just stood at the side for a while before he excused himself. This time, he didn’t try to prevent Xiao Chen and Fairsnow from being in contact.

“Well, let’s stop with the idle chatter, it dampens the mood. Brother Xiao, will you come take a walk with me at Moon Gazing Hill?” Fairsnow smiled, seemingly a little embarrassed. That was not an act, it seemed very realistic.

Moon Gazing Hill was a short hill in the Celestial City. Legends had it that after Celestial City appeared in the South, only then did this mountain fall from beyond the heavens into the city walls. There were many versions of this legend, but the one that had been spread the widest was that; a girl who yearned for the Celestial emperor transformed into a sacred mountain and now rests within the city walls for all eternity.

The hill was no more than three hundred meters tall. It also didn’t occupy that much space. Various kinds of rare trees were growing on the hill, even the flowers and plants were of extremely rare varieties. The path towards the top of Moon Gazing Hill was paved with cobblestones. It was possible to see the Celestial City in its entirety on top of the hill.

This was the most famous spot in Celestial City.

The night had fallen, Fairsnow and Xiao Chen stood at the summit looking down at the brightly lit city. The two of them had stood there from the afternoon till now, and haven’t spoken a single word since then.

After letting out a helpless sigh, Fairsnow said with pained voice, “No matter who it is, everyone has secret trouble. As the daughter of the Antarctic Warbeast Castle’s master, I look to be well-off, but only I myself know how it feels to be in this position. I don’t even have the right to choose my own marriage partner. Everything needs to be arranged by the family.”

Speaking until here, Fairsnow smiled bitterly and said, “Isn’t it pitiful? This is my fate.”

Xiao Chen looked at the boundless world outside of the city, he nodded first before he shook his head and said, “That depends on how you look at it. Those at the lowest rung of society don’t even have enough food or warm clothes, the distress of an aristocratic lady is happiness they could only thirst for.”

“Hehe…” Fairsnow giggled and said, “That’s right, I am greedy aren’t I? But this is not what I want, riches and honor does not matter, all I want is the freedom to decide my own life. I don’t want others to decide for me.”

“Did my appearance increase the pressure on you?” Xiao Chen smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, how about I help you out instead? It is unnecessary for them to do this kind of thing.”

Fairsnow smiled lightly and said, “Ah… I have shown you a sorry sight. Just now I was really only letting it out. Without any outsiders around, I just wanted to let it go and say something brazen. You don’t need to concern yourself with it.”

Xiao Chen leaned against a silver-colored apricot tree and said while biting a grass stalk in his mouth, “Just let it all out.”

“I know why my family sent me to invite you, they want me to cast off the Fair family. It is about time for a ‘cherished’ pearl like me to be sold off. They wanted to coax you by means of marriage. Every young lady has a dream of meeting a prince-charming that they could entrust their entire life to. After knowing their intentions, I felt very disgusted and resentful. I even thought about running away from home. However, after thinking things through, I felt relieved. Since every major family is like this. Moreover, your appearance did not only make me feel pressured, it also made me feel a little thankful and relieved.”

“You feel thankful and relieved?”

“That’s right. At the very least, you are not a scoundrel like Hofmann. Or as vulgar as the younger generation of the Zhuge family.”

Xiao Chen was speechless, then he smiled and said, “I see, so this is where I hold the advantage. It seems like I am only a little better than Hofmann and Zhuge Kun.”

Fairsnow smiled gently and said, “That is only as a comparison, I am not saying you are the same as them. In my opinion, you have great potential and you future prospects seem very bright. How can I be discontent when my family is giving me away to someone who might become well known in the future? Perhaps, we might not have any romantic feelings at first due to this kind of marriage, but I know you are not a heartless guy. From the way you are treating the snow-white little critter and Tenax, I could tell. I am not worried that you will give me the cold-shoulder in the future. I am only disgusted with my family’s forceful arrangements, but so long as I can get this out of my system, then there’s no reason for me to reject it. Otherwise, my ending… might become to same as my paternal aunt; to get married off to a rich and powerful hedonistic son and end up miserable.”

Xiao Chen could feel Fairsnow’s worries about personal gains and losses. The reason why she invited him here, maybe it was to talk about this and to let go of that burden in her heart, while also alleviating the unhappiness in Xiao Chen’s heart.

Fairsnow’s expression was indeed very sincere. Xiao Chen could feel that these feelings were emerging from the bottom of her heart. If not, then Fairsnow was truly very scary to be able to put on such a realistic act.

As for the marriage, Xiao Chen did not declare where he stood. He only smiled and said he would help Fairsnow. As a matter of fact, this was how it is. Although everyone was crazy over him now, everyone’s delusion will naturally be broken three days later.

However… how could everything go within his expectations? There’s a lot of unexpected things in this world.

Night time, Xiao Chen went to the Fair family’s mansion. This made a few major powers feel very resentful of the Fair family, but there was nothing they could do. Who asked them not to build a friendly relation with Xiao Chen first like Fairsky did? Moreover, who in the South could be compared to the beautiful Fairsnow?

The Zhuge family was naturally very discontent. Their Zhuge Liang was also on friendly terms with Xiao Chen. In their opinion, the reason the Fair family held the advantage this time was because they were short of a devastatingly beautiful girl like the Fair family.

The Undying Sect also felt a sense of crisis. Although Xiao Chen was close to their Undying Sect, and had some friendship with the Undying Patriarch, they still felt a little uneasy with the Fair family’s bold move. Fairsnow, she was one of the most beautiful girls, and as a young man, it was very easy for Xiao Chen to be enticed. However, their Undying Sect also has Yan Qingcheng, whose beauty was comparable to Fairsnow, but since too much had happened between the two of them, it was not easy for Yan Qingcheng to let it go.

In the following three days, Draco did not disappear. On the contrary, he could be seen in the Celestial City everyday. From time to time, he would visit Xiao Chen’s house repeatedly. There were even a few times when he was seen pulling Xiao Chen to drink, as if he was treating him as a nephew.

This was a very strong signal, it strengthened the major clan’s conviction; that Xiao Chen had a very deep relationship with the depths of the South!

These three days, the sill of Xiao Chen’s house was already worn out due to the multitudes of people coming and going. This made Xiao Chen feel rather rueful.

To leave the Celestial City was definitely out of the question. Draco had already told him very clearly, he will definitely die the moment he took a single step out. If not because he was keeping watch here, that person out there would have already enter the city.

The undercurrent was flowing non-stop during these past three days. Liu Qingfeng of the Undying Sect invited Xiao Chen over and told him that the proposal from last time was accepted. He is to wed to Yan Qingcheng one month from now.

Xiao Chen was caught unprepared. He wanted to explain it earnestly, but it only end up making Liu Qingfeng very unhappy as he turned and left abruptly. The news regarding his marriage to Yan Qingcheng one month from now was spread all over the Celestial City at high speed.

The Fair family’s reaction was very quick. They quickly mobilized their family’s influence to make people believe that Xiao Chen already had a prior engagement with the Fair family; that he is to wed Fairsnow half a month from now.

In regards to this, Xiao Chen wanted to laugh, but he was unable to since he felt a slight chill in his heart.

Very Pure & Ambiguous - The Prequel

VPnA – The Prequel Volume 2 Chapter 27

September 27, 2020 Re:Library Leave a comment

Here’s the chapter of the day, enjoy~

Like I have started last week, click on “Next Chapter” to see the teaser for the next chapter!

Remember, the Very Pure and Ambiguous – The Prequel Fan Art contest is going on. I would really appreciate it if I could get some submissions… >_<

Very Pure & Ambiguous - The Prequel

Chapter 28 – Big Boss Liu

I nodded, then looked carefully at the Land Rover, if I didn’t remember it wrong, this was a limited edition off-road car. I wonder how Liu Yue was so capable that she managed to get those here.

“How much is this car?” I pointed to the limited-edition Land Rover and said.

“Ah!” The clerk momentarily blanked, then said, “Sorry sir, this Land Rover is a limited edition one, there’s just one here for show, it isn’t for say!”

“Ah… So it’s like this!” Chen Weier said a bit disappointedly.

I felt bad after seeing Chen Weier disappointed expression. Weier finally had a request, how could I not fulfill it! How could I like the beauty get disappointed!

I smiled at the clerk and said, “Please get your manager here, I want to talk with her in person!”

The clerk looked at me without understanding, I didn’t look very rich, so she didn’t think I could afford the Land Rover, even if I could, the manager wouldn’t agree. Two days ago, a rich businessman from Hong Kong gave an astronomical price and the manager refused. However, due to the service motto of Liu’s Car Shop being to try their best to satisfy the customer’s needs and make them satisfied, the clerk didn’t say anything and directly went to contact the manager.

“Hubby, how about we leave it, let’s buy another one!” Seeing that it was troublesome, Chen Weier immediately said to me.

I waved my hand and said, “Hehe, how could I not buy what Weier likes! However, Weier, let’s make a bet, do you think the owner of this car shop will sell it to me?”

“En… I guess not! It’s a car they brought here for display, there’s only one and use it to attract more business!” Chen Weier said.

“No! They’ll definitely sell it to me, you’ll see if you don’t believe it!” I said with a smile.

“Che! You’re making it sound so real, do you really think that you’re the owner of this car shop!” Zhao Yanyan rolled her eyes at me and said. “If you disappoint Weier-jiejie, then I’ll stop caring about you!”

Just as we were speaking, the clerk from earlier came over. Behind her was a young beauty, seeing me here, she exclaimed lightly, then hurried ran over. She said in a displeased tone, “I was wondering who wanted to buy this limited edition Land Rover, so it’s big boss Liu, can’t you just drive it away directly, do you still need to ask for this lowly lady’s permission!”

Hearing Liu Yue’s tone, she was clearly angry at me. Originally I had said that I would meet her in the car shop, yet I didn’t contact her before coming, causing her to be a bit annoyed. However, she didn’t need to speak like that! I remember this woman, Liu Yue, is very crafty and acts very steadily, how could she make this kind of low level mistake!

Zhao Yanyan and Chen Weier were even more confused, who just saw a beauty that was no less beautiful than them, and she even knew me!

Zhao Yanyan glared at me and said quietly, “Who is this person? Why have I not seen her before, did you attract someone out there again?”

“Ah! How could I, what’s more, even if I have to find a little wifey, I have to tell you first, right!” I hurriedly said.

“Hmmph! However, you have to explain properly back home, otherwise I won’t let you get on the bed!” Saying that, Zhao Yanyan turned around and said to Chen Weier, “Isn’t that right, Weier-jiejie!”

Chen Weier was just blanking out for the beauty that suddenly appeared, adding onto the fact that we were very quiet, she didn’t hear what Zhao Yanyan and I were saying, that’s why she just went along and nodded.

I complained in my heart, I waited so many days to XXOO with my Weier, I was finally going to succeed, yet they aren’t letting me on the bed!

“Then explain on the bed?” I chuckled.

Zhao Yanyan carefully examined Liu Yue for quite a while, then suddenly reacted unnaturally without smiling, “Dream on!”

I was really speechless, Zhao Yanyan who has always been loose with me actually had such a big reaction today!

“Zhao Yanyan, long time no see!” Liu Yue said with smile that was unlike a smile, and reached her hand out in an unfriendly manner.

Zhao Yanyan frowned, pouted, hesitated a bit, then reached her hand out as well, “Yeah, long time no see!”

The two of them symbolically shook hands, then immediately let go again.

I looked strangely at the two of them, what was going on? Did they know each other before? From the looks of it, they seem to have a history with each other!

Liu Yue knew that Zhao Yanyan was Liu Lei’s girlfriend ages ago, and she didn’t think much of it, since she thought that she was childish back then, and now that she grew up, she should have seen through some things more clearly. However, at this point, she didn’t know why, but she felt an intense sense of jealousy, as if something nice of hers was taken away!

Zhao Yanyan was confused as well, technically speaking, she was already really happy, why was there a need to quibble! However, the moment she saw Liu Lei and her ambiguous relationship, she wasn’t happy in her heart, she (Zhao Yanyan) could tolerate other women with him, but this Liu Yue was someone she would not be able to accept no matter what!

Zhao Yanyan glared at Liu Yue without moving her eyes, while Liu Yue did the same. The two girl’s gazes met each other like fire, as it was full of a provocative feeling.

Zhao Yanyan subconsciously moved towards me, her hand clinging to the corner of my jacket, at this moment, she was like a child that held what she loved tight, unwilling to let go even for a slight moment.

“What are you holding on so tightly for, I won’t fight over it with you!” Liu Yue said. The moment these words left her mouth, Liu Yue felt that something was wrong, what’s with her, what business is it for hers for someone else holding her boyfriend, why was she being such a busybody.

However, Liu Yue’s words raised Zhao Yanyan’s vigilance even more, with a woman’s intuition, Zhao Yanyan felt that Liu Yue might become her strongest opponent! Although Zhao Yanyan didn’t know whether this feeling was right or not, she was still really nervous! This was the first and only time that she felt a hint of danger during the three years she has been with Liu Lei.

“Hubby, let’s go, don’t buy a car at this woman’s shop!” Zhao Yanyan said nervously, then pulled my hand as her eyes were full of anticipation.

“Oh… Okay…” Although I didn’t quite get what was going on, I still agreed.

“My shop? Hehe, Zhao Yanyan-tongxue, don’t you know it? Your hubby invested in this car shop for me to open, what, he didn’t tell you? Liu Yue said with a smile. Immediately afterwards, Liu Yue cursed herself in her heart. Liu Yue, Liu Yue! What’s with you today, where is your normal steadiness, you even managed to say such ambiguous words! This tone, this posture, it’s like you’re a mistress that he has outside who was showing off to the legal wife…

“What! Liu Lei! You… You opened this car shop for her!” Zhao Yanyan trembled, her hands slid off from my body, as she nearly fell onto the ground. It was fortunate that Chen Weier quickly got a hold of her.

Author Reincarnated

[Vol. 3] Chapter 5 – Phantom

“If there’s something please save us!”

“Head, big sis, if I die I’ll curse you”

　My two senior’s eyes were filled with tears but everyone pretended not to notice it.

“Come on, don’t mess around and hurry up!”

　With Crescent Moon’s heartless words my seniors unwillingly opened the door and stepped into the depth.

“You can go first”

“Hey, don’t push, we should go side by side. Almost always you – -”

　Even in times like this you should get along well, seniors.

“Hey everyone, have you ever fought the Undead?”

　After the seniors went inside Crescent Moon posed this question to us who stayed behind.

“I haven’t. How about Knopf and Pick?”

“Me neither. Don’t they make you feel sick?”

“I haven’t either.”

　Looks like no one fought those guys before.

“What about you, Crescent Moon?”

“In a dungeon. But as one would expect they don’t really give off a pleasant feeling.”

“How did you fight them?”

“Even if I say undead they are divided into Zombie-types which possess flesh, Skeleton-types which only consist out of bones and Wraith- and Evil Spirit-types which have a spirit body.”

“Are the ways to cope with them different as well?”

　Knopf asked Crescent Moon.

“That’s right. You can attack the Zombie-type with a sword like normal. There are also cases where those guys still had some will left in them. Its looks are kind of bizarre but it’s basically just your run-of-the-mill monster.”

“What about Skeletons?”

“They don’t get much damage even if you cut them with a sword because they are made entirely of bones. Even if you cut it into pieces it regenerates immediately and starts to attack you. There’s this guy they call skeleton soldier, he’s equipped with a weapon and a shield and is considerably difficult to defeat among them. Stabbing them is almost meaningless. You have to either completely wreck it or burn it with fire quickly.”

“Does Fire magic work?”

“Yeah. Fire magic works on both the Zombie-types and the Skeleton-types. The most troublesome are the ones with a spirit body like Wraiths and Evil Spirits. Attacking them with physical weapons is completely meaningless.”

“How about fire magic then?”

　Crescent Moon frowns at my question.

“I think it would hardly do any damage. I don’t know about high-ranking spells, though. Usually, one should attack them with magic weapons imbued with anti-undead effects or Light- or Darkness Magic.”

　As she said so Crescent Moon took out a strangely twisted knife out of her décolleté.

“This is a knife imbued with Anti-Undead attributes. Honestly, this is just a mere consolation. If I would face an evil spirit with just this I would certainly be the one to suffer.”

　Well, of course, if you want to attack it with that you would have approach it until you can hit it point-blank.
　I wouldn’t want to get closer to things like Wraiths and Evil Spirits.

“I see, I can neither use light attribute magic nor darkness attribute magic. I wonder if I can’t do anything.”

　The cat girl Knopf muttered.
　She can use all the other attributes so it’s fine.

“To be honest, I don’t want to have anything to do with the Undead either. They are a pain in the ***, creepy and even if you subjugate them often it’s not even profitable.”

　As I thought, that’s her basis.
　Crescent Moon really likes money.

“I think I would be a little hesitant to defeat them if I think about the fact that they were previously alive.”

　Though I understand Pick’s train of thought if I would act like that I would turn into an undead then.⌈¹⌋
　If the Author reincarnates as an undead I don’t have the confidence I would be able to finish the story like that.

“I wonder if you are alright, big bros.”
Pick said this anxiously.
　Even with all, that was said they are still companions after all.

“Well, it should be fine. Though I said things like that it’s unlikely that the Undead would walk around here like that. And even if they do they can only move slowly. Those guys can do as much as escape, right?”

“Heh, so Undead can only move slowly, huh?”

　As I asked this Crescent Moon answered me with a tone of ridicule for not even knowing that.

“A Zombie running at full speed would be really bad. Well, the only ones who might be able to move quicker would be higher ranked Skeleto–”

“Gyaaaaaaaa!!!!”

　Just as Crescent Moon was talking we hear a scream from the other side of the door.

“Run, run, ruuun!”

“It’s straaaaaaaaange!!!!!”

　While screaming, my two seniors jumped into the room with a desperate look on their faces.

“Head, its coming! Those guys are comeiiiing!”

　Two people with teary eyes quickly took cover behind me.
　Immediately after that one could hear a rattling noise coming from the hallway behind the door.
　It sounded like something was running towards us, a lot of them.

“What, what’s this?!”

　Crescent Moon immediately stood up and pulled her sword.
　I took out my two-handed Great Sword, Crescent Moon held her scimitar (Crescent Moon Sword) in her right hand and in the other she held the Anti-Undead knife she showed us a while ago.
　Knopf had her iron cane and Pick a rapier.

“Sk, sk, skeleton- -”

　At the same time as Bass shouted this a group of skeletons ran into the room.
　They held weapons like maces and swords in one hand and shields in the other.
　There were about ten of them though there might come more from the back.

“They are those rumoured Skeleton Soldiers! Additionally, they are moving fast.”

　Crescent Moon shouted.
　Are those the fast moving, high-ranked Skeletons?
　Additionally I can’t be careless with this many.
　As I was told that Fire magic would work on them I called for the small lizard/salamander Reus.
　Huh, he seems a little bigger than usual but now’s not the time to think about that.

“Bass, Drum, Pick, their weakness is fire. Set fire to some sticks you can find and hit them hard with it. Don’t let them get near Knopf because she can use fire magic.”

“Understood!”

　They always move around together, those three, so they should be able to cooperate with each other.
　Knopf’s magic will be the most effective here.
　Though my fireball would be effective as well but I don’t think I can hit an opponent of such speed.
　I gave up on the fire ball and chanted the aria for the Flame Sword.
　My Great Sword is instantly covered in flames.
　OK, this should be enough to cause some damage.

　Even though the Skeletons saw the flames which where their weakness they stepped forward without hesitation.
　Do they not have a sense of fear? Or rather are they able to see in the first place?
　As they are Skeletons they have no eyeballs, this is kind of mysterious.

　I swung my sword as I thought about such things in the corner of my mind.
　As I tried cutting one body another immediately intercepted my blow with their shield.
　I hastily parried the sword which came cutting from my side.
　Damn it, they are annoying.
　There are a lot of them, they move quickly and they are also rather skilled with the sword.
　I wonder if they were able to use this technique they are using now when they were still alive.

　Next to me Crescent Moon was fighting against several bodies.
　I could see how the ones which got smashed apart by her scimitar returned to their previous form after just a few minutes.
　Even if the magic effect of the knife is proven right its range is too short.
　Crescent Moon seems to have trouble killing even one with this knife.

　In the back they were doing their best while saying things like “Waa” and “Yoou!”.
　Opposing a Skeleton which had a sword with a torch, giving it their all.
　Those seniors were stronger than I thought.

　Goooooh, Baaaaaang!
　Fireballs which Knopf would occasionally throw smashed into a skeleton.
　She didn’t seem to have added oxygen to it in this narrow place but it was still powerful enough.
　As my seniors and Pick were guarding her well she was able to effectively use her spells.

　Gashiiin!
My flaming Great Sword hit my opponent.
　The skeleton got wrapped in flames and collapsed.
　Good, good, their numbers considerably decreased.
　There are only two left, it should be alright now.

“Just a bit more, let’s do this!”

　Crescent Moon blocked her opponent’s sword with the scimitar in her right hand and cut it with the knife in her left hand.
　When I thought I saw something glittering white at that moment her opponent collapsed.
　There are no signs of it reviving.
　Is this the great power of a magic weapon?

　The last one was in front of me.
　I ignored the fact that it was holding a shield and swung down my flaming Great sword down on it with all my might.
　The sword simply crushed the wooden shield my opponent held and cut right into its body.
　The last skeleton was burning down in flames.

　Alright, and there are no signs of more coming out from the back.

“That’s all, everyone good- -”

“What on earth do you think you’re doing?!”

　Just when I was about to praise everyone I heard a sharp voice from behind me.　

　The door leading outside was open and a girl dressed in black from head to toe stood there when I looked back.
　Bishi! She pointed her finger straight at me with a momentum that could have produced a sound.

Very Pure & Ambiguous - The Prequel

Chapter 27 – Walking around the car shop

Yet, despite Jiaoyazi teaching me how to develop my special powers, it was just bits on the surface, I don’t know any of the skills that only deities in books can use, such as phasing through walls or invisibility. I think that Jiaoyazi doesn’t know them as well, he’s just Yama’s disciple, even old bro Yama might not fully understand the development of the powers.

I nodded towards Chen Weier and said, “Can’t your hubby have gotten more mature! What, don’t you like me like this?”

“No, of course I like it!” Chen Weier quickly waved her hand and said, “I like hubby however he is!”

“Yeah, us sisters cannot leave you in this life, it’s fine as long as you don’t abandon us!” Zhao Yanyan joked on the side.

I got really happy after that. Originally, I was worried that Zhao Yanyan got together me at too young an age, so she might have thought that the love back then wasn’t too mature, it seems like she has already treated me as the final destination of her life.

After we finished the crayfish, I called Liu Yue, and told her that I’m going to buy a car at her shop. Since Liu Yue at time and was at the car shop during the afternoon, the two girls and I called a taxi and went straight to Liu Yue’s car shop.

“Young man, are you going to buy a car?” The taxi driver asked casually.

“Yeah, to have a look,” I said.

“Liu’s Car Shop is the largest car shop in Yanjing, it is the agent of a lot of high class cars within the country, not only is the service attitude good, most importantly, their after service is great. A rich bro of mine bought an Audi there, but when the warranty was nearly over, a piece of it broke, the car shop didn’t say anything and immediately changed the piece to a new one,” said the taxi driver. “Who in Yanjing that wants to buy cars doesn’t know Liu’s, even the government buys from them!”

Hearing the name Liu’s Car Shop, I couldn’t help but smile wryly. Liu Yue had once said to me that I am the main investor, so the name of the car agency should use my surname!

But the most important thing is that both her and I have the surname Liu!

On this point, I couldn’t help but admit that Liu Yue not only displayed the little smartness that women has, but also acted nice even after she got an advantage!

“Liu’s Car Shop? Hubby, you can’t have opened this car shop, right?” Hearing Liu’s, Zhao Yanyan was also sensitive, since why did I go directly to Liu’s instead of any car shop!

“Probably,” I said. At the start, I didn’t think of it as a big deal, so I didn’t tell Zhao Yanyan and co. Since she asked today, I didn’t plan on hiding it either.

Hearing that, the taxi driver didn’t pay it much heed, and treated it as a joke. He didn’t take me seriously at all, there were far too many people that bragged about stuff nowadays.

Even Zhao Yanyan didn’t quite believe it, since it was far too weird, she could not think of a reason why I would open a car shop in Yanjing, so she didn’t think too much into it.

In 1998, although Yanjing did not have that many bridges, there were rather few private cars, so the traffic wasn’t that jammed. Thus, we arrived at the entrance to Liu’s Car Shop very quickly.

This was my first time here, hehe, I, the major shareholder, seems a bit irresponsible, but there was no helping it, who told me to be a busybody and help beauty Liu.

The outside of the car shop was decorated rather fashionable, and the space the parking lot too in Yanjing city was rather large. After we got off the taxi, I took the two girls and walked directly towards the door.

“Welcome, respectful ladies and gentleman, how may I help you,” Just after we entered the door, a uniform-wearing reception lady came up to us with a smile.

This made me very satisfied, and caused me couldn’t help but exclaim that the chick Liu Yue really knew how to run a business. Although the clothes on my body was invaluable, normal people couldn’t see its value at all. Furthermore, Chen Weier and Zhao Yanyan weren’t wearing any famous brands, although they were also designed by famous international designers, but they didn’t have any labels on them.

Especially when you factor in our ages, we didn’t look like people that have come to buy a sports car, however the clerks here did not put on any airs, and truly treated us as their potential customer with their hearts.

I casually looked around the car shop, and saw that quite a lot of people have come to buy cars here, most of the clerks were explaining to the clients, it seems like my investment wasn’t wasted, although I won’t earn a lot from it, it was a decent industry.

“Sir, what car would you look at?” The clerk’s enquiry level was very professional. By asking what car we would like to “look at” and not “buy”, this unconsciously avoided a lot of awkwardness. If she directly asked if the customer is going to buy a car or not, the customer might feel awkward if they weren’t going to buy. This naturally decreased a lot of pressure from the customer and gave them good impressions.

“En,” I nodded. “Yanyan, what car should we buy this time, the Mercedes in Songjiang is not convenient.”

“I think so too, the people that drive a Mercedes are all middle-aged, I think you should buy an off road car,” Zhao Yanyan said.

“Yeah, hubby, I think so too. Buying a sports car is fine too,” Chen Weier said.

The clerk blanked out after hearing our conversation. She thought to herself, my god, what do these three people do, they say they won’t drive the Mercedes they bought, and wanted to buy a sports car, they can’t be kidding right!

However, out of her professional spirit, she still asked, “The high class ones here include Land Rover and Hummer, the normal ones include the Yanjing Jeep and the Changcheng Jeep produced in the country.”

“Is there Toyota?” I casually asked.

“Sorry sir, Liu’s Car Shop doesn’t sell Japanese cars,” The clerk shook her head and said.

Hehe, not bad! It seems like Liu Yue was rather patriotic, you have to know, the off road cars of Toyota are rather famous, yet she gave up the profits in this area. From the perspectives of a businessman, this wasn’t easy.

“Then let’s have a look at the Land Rovers!” I said.

“Okay, sir, please come this way!” The clerk said.

As we looked at the cars, the clerk patiently explained on the side, however I… am someone that transmigrated from the present, look at these antique cars, I wasn’t quite used to it!

However, Zhao Yanyan and Chen Weier were rather excited, pointing at this and that, and also asked tons of questions. The clerk didn’t get annoyed, and looked around with us, but we didn’t set our eyes on anything.

“Yi? Hubby, look at that car, I like it so much!” Suddenly, Chen Weier pointed at the show car in the middle of the hall and exclaimed.

Chen Weier rarely gave me advice, seeing that she really liked it this time, how could I not satisfy her, thus I asked Zhao Yanyan, “Yanyan, what do you think?”

“I think it looks great as well, let’s listen to Weier-jiejie!” Zhao Yanyan also knew that I spoiled her a lot, so she didn’t fight over it with Chen Weier, since Chen Weier rarely asks me to do anything for her.
