Capítulo 62: At Mermaid Heel
"So that's what basically happened. I will take you to meet her sometime in the future but not now." After I told Brandish how I saved Layla she was lost in her thought and so I turned my attention to Irene to give her some time to think about what I just told her.
"So, how has life have been treating you, oh greatest female mage in history?" I asked her in a teasing tone as she just gave a chuckle while shaking her head at that.
"It has been quite good actually. I don't really have much to do so I just travel around and find ruins to study and get better at my magic. Other than that I really don't have much to do." Irene said with a smile as she looked my way. Although she doesn't say it, I am sure she has some resentment of her own against me for never coming to visit her.
I mean while it hasn't been that long for me since I travel through time and space, she has spent hundreds of years without seeing me. So I don't have any reason to refuse to indulge her. Her hitting me with her staff was a small way of venting that frustration probably.
"Well things will get better soon. Now, I have to get going. I'll come visit you more often from now on." I replied to her before asking for my leave when I noticed Brandish was out of her stupor. I gave the both of them a hug and might have gotten a little handsy but it was promptly ignored by the ladies. I sure do have a great charm huh.
South of Magnolia
After saying goodbye to Irene and Brandish, I teleported to a small town on the south side of Magnolia. It was never mentioned when exactly Mermaid Heel rose in strength and fame or where their guild was located at. But when I had left Kagura there all those years ago, I obviously had to search for it.
And so here I am standing in front of the very same doors in front of which I was cursed at by a bunch of women despite me appearing as a young kid. I felt the same presence as I had felt all those… uh time ago. The young girl who had nearly gone to the dark side, I mean, became a yandere. Wait a second, what if she actually became one because I wasn't there to stop her from becoming one. Oh boy.
After almost having a slight mental breakdown, I touched the door to push it open… only to be sent flying. Haah, it just hasn't been my luck lately.
"Oh, uh, sorry?" The person responsible seems to have realized what had happened, as she came up to me and offered an apology.
"No it's fine, I was at fault as well for, uh, just standing there without moving." I got up from the ground and finally saw the person.
It was a petite young girl with orange-brown hair, which is tied in two braided pigtails on either side of her head. She has a childlike and innocent look to her, possessing very large, almost round greyish blue eyes and freckled cheeks. She has a remarkably small nose that cannot be seen when viewed from the front. In contrast with the rest of her childlike appearance, she possesses distinctively large hips and thighs, mirroring a marked pear shape.
"Oh is that so. Anyway my name is Beth Vanderwood. Do you have any business with the guild?" Hearing what I said she gave me a wide smile as she introduced herself before getting down to business.
"I do in fact have business. I'm here to meet Kagura. I am a childhood friend of sorts." Now that I think about it this girl in front of me seem familiar. Ah, she was one of the people who went to the magic games with Kagura. Honestly, only Kagura and Millianna left a deep enough impression on me from this all female guild but I do remember them if I tried hard enough to remember them.
"Eh, really? Oh, are you the one everyone used to tease Kagura about?" She seemed surprised by that but then realization dawned on her as she asked me that.
"Uh, I don't know if I am the same one but how about we head in first if you're not going anywhere and see." I replied to her as I gestured towards the guild door she just exited. I mean, she doesn't look like she is in a hurry, so why not.
"Ok, I was heading home because there was nothing to do anyway. Let's go, I'll introduce you to the others while bringing you to Kagura." She brightened up at that, if that was even possible considering she has been smiling nonstop and then she grabbed my hand before dragging me inside the guild.
It was… weird. I saw all the ladies who once abused a young twelve to thirteen-year-old looking me and they seem to recognize me after a moment. And once they did, their reactions were similar to one another.
"Oh, it's you, brat."
"Huh, looks like you grew some since the last time."
"Why'd you come."
Lazy indifference. That's what it was. They had the indifferent faces on and talking in a lazy voice. I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw them I almost gave in to the urge to shit my pants. Almost. But then I realized, I can just cut off all sound in the first sight of danger *cough*curses*cough* and I managed to calm down. Although there was a five second blank I had fallen into by then.
After making our way through all of the ladies of the guild, Beth led me to the back of the guild which I am assuming is a training ground or something. When we reached there, in the middle of the ground holding onto a sword with her two hands stood a young, slim, large-busted woman, with long, straight black hair that falls to the middle of her back. It is cut in the traditional Japanese princess style. This was Kagura Mikazuchi.
When she heard us enter the training ground, Kagura turned around to face us and as I was preparing to dash any second she shows a sign of being a yandere, she gave a nod to Beth and walked towards me. When she reached me…
"Now that you're here, I wish to see how far I have come. Fight me."
Was what she said. Well, at least she didn't turn into a yandere. Or is she still calm because of her battle intent. Oh boy.
