Listen I'm sorry okay. Just cheer up already I feel creepy like this. It really looks like I'm a slave driver taking a girl to be sold.
Said the slave driver to the girl being dragged by a chain that only looked painful as it was tied around her wrists.
[Softly sings] Ah their taking me to sell. Who would you like to buy a used-up goddess sell, cheap and hurt how much will the goddess sell. How much it will the goddess sell.
And shut up with that creepy song already. If anyone from the guild saw you like this, I'll be sent straight to jail no question asked.
Aqua, I discussed this with Crim and you can have my side of the reward if it makes you feel better. I feel very rewarded already hehe. [Drools, beet red]
By the way Darkness, welcome to the party. I never have seen someone face danger with a smile like yours. Masochist or not your skills are the real deal. And I'd be glad to put you through much more if you're willing to stay with us.
[Laughs softly] Hehehe.
I'd LOVE TO! Deal done and served! I'll never leave your side in my entire life! Please be kind to me from now on. No wait, be however you want with me from now on!
Hehehehehehehe.
Thank you, Darkness. I have a motel ops prepared for you after we report back at the guild.
Ahahahahahahaha!
And shut the fuck already! What's so funny now? What screw you lost now?
The girl dragged like a slave to be sold by the chain began to laugh uncontrollably, and her skin began to glow back to a healthy tone with just that.
Ehime is just that, masochist. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And who are you to judge her on her hobbies your debt drinking goddess!
No, I'm …Kusukusukusukusu! I am not judging her. I just remembered how you had a masochistic girl in your harem. And then I began to remember your hilarious death at her hands all over again KUSUKUSUKUSUKUSUKUSU!
Aqua dropped to the ground laughing as she nudged the road with her hands still tied up. Tears rolling out of her eyes as she couldn't stop laughing. Crim on the other hand was reminded of a traumatic event from his previous life. As a memory hidden depth whiting his brain sparked up in all its nefarious glory, and brought him to his knees traumatized.
Nononononononononono! Not the Yankee! Anything but the Yankee AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Are you two alright? [Inquired a worried Darkness]
Crim turned to look at her and the image of his ex-girlfriend reflected on her face.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Crim began to run with all his might dragging a suffocated of laughing Aqua across the road with a dust trail left behind. Darkness was left behind feeling really confused before she began shivering for some reason.
Later inside of Axel walls.
Hum hu hum hu hum.
Aqua happily hummed as she skipped ahead like red riding hood, the overly big black t shirt she was wearing over her torn clothes giving a cute vibe to her skips. Not a single thought back to what she just had went through. But she was being slowed down by the chains still tied to her wrist, so she turned around to speak some sense on the traumatized shirtless leech.
Hey, how long are you going to stay traumatized? People are going to think I'm a fallen goddess off to sell a slave or something if they see me like this.
True to the onlookers eyes, even if Aqua had her hands tied together. With her being the one walking ahead, and the painfully encrusted pain on Crim right, none would be the wiser over what had happened and most likely would place the blame on her somehow. It was just at this moment that a loud voice of a young man who did not see it this way echoed around the town.
LADY GODDESSS!
Eh?
Milady goddess. What are you doing here? And why are you tied up like this. Hey, you release her this instant!
Uuuuuhh? [Scared]
Wait please leave him alone, he's going through a bit of a trauma right now.
Still to tie you like this ugh, what's this?
Said Mitsurugi as he caught sight of the chain encrusted on Crim arm.
Ah don't worry, that's the blessing he choose when he came to this world. It's not as painful as it looks.
How can you be so compassionated lady goddess? This man has snared your frail wrist with a serrated chain no less. I'll destroy these worthless chains that bind you my goddess.
Wait no stop.
EAA! [Slashes the chain]
AUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!
The hit reflected on Crim back as he received a deep cut and blood gushed out, making him fall to his knee screaming in pain.
Impossible, what sorcery is this? Why is this chain still intact?
slashed at the chain again and another deep cut appeared on the back of Crim, making him scream even more.
Stop it already! [[Sacred Heal]]
A green light encompassed Crim body, and the slashes visibly disappeared from his back. He stood up livid in all his shirtless glory.
Think before attacking others you fucking moron!
Leech your back.
Damn hell I am! What the fuck happened?
Oh a, I think is better that you don't know.
Hey, don't ignore me. Why where you binding lady goddess like that?
And one long explanation later.
You enslaved lady goddess to do your biding!
And sexually harass me.
AND SEXUALLY HARASS HER!
Damn kid my ears. I just thought she was omnipotent and would solve everything if I could just get her down to earth.
That it's ridiculous! How could you even dream of a defenseless and pure goddess like her fighting for you! If she could do something she wouldn't send heroes like me to save the world.
And damn did I learn that the hard way. But what defenseless goddess are you talking about? The score is three to none with her kicking my ass.
YOU HAVE FOUGHT AGAINTS HER!
(Oh boy, better keep my mouth shut from now on.)
And he used me as alligator bait for hours, and burned my butt, and let one too many frogs have their way with me.
Bitch shouldn't you be taking my side here?
I would if you were some shitty Neet who just said mean things from time to time. But you and you in particular had this coming. [Malicious grin, crocodile tears] Waaaah he's been so mean to me. Having me sleep uncomfortably…. No wait the bed is good. But he never buys me…. No wait I taken his money. Whaah but he abuses me… Wait he has never hit me before. Leech what the hell?
That's it. To the alley with you! [Walks menacingly towards Aqua]
I won't let you. I'll stop your madness right here and save lady goddess from your evil grasp.
Wait I know how he sounds sometimes but he's actually harmless, and I can kick his ass even when he losses it. Seriously I'm not angry at him for dragging me down here anymore.
Lady Goddess, I don't know what this man has done to you but he clearly has brainwashed you. There's no way someone could be harmless when he treats girls like he does with you. [Draws Gram]
(Ouch he has a point. But in my defense, I blame the goddess for being so difficult. I never had to treat my girls like I do her.) So, what now kid. You winna go? [Chain begins spilling on the floor]
Never so much. Take this! [Slashes at Crim]
The chain blocked Gram, but Crim still took serious damage even when the sword never touched him. He began to bleed from his abdomen.
Dammit! Aqua what's this guy sword deal?
That's the demonic sword Gram Leech, a sword that can cut through anything.
(Oh, so that's it. My chain and his sword are like the unmovable object and the unstoppable force. The instructions said how any law that defies the chains would be redirected at the Giver. So, in exchange for my chain remaining indestructible over his sword, I receive the damage.)
Lady Goddess!? Wait then is only fair I know what his chain does too.
His chain cooks meals and makes the comfiest beds, I think?
(Bless your peanut sized brain my goddess.) Hey kid, tell me. How fast can you move? [[Pain of the Chains of Calamity]]
The chain flew off all around Mitsurugi folding and causing arcs before the tip and two tendrils shot down at supersonic speed from three angles.
[[Ashura deflect]]
Out of the body of Mitsurugi came two afterimages like of himself and aided him to parry the tendrils along with the tip of the chain. Crim bled from three different parts of his body and collapsed to the ground.
I am a level 37 sword master and hero of the goddess chosen to save the world. Don't underestimate me.
[Spits blood] Damn that sword is a real bad match for me. Sorry kid but I'll have to end this in one hit or I will pass out. Brace yourself.
Bring it. [Brave stance]
Very well. [[Chains of Calamity Replay. Fishing Net]]
A five-meter radius net floated overhead the master swordsman Mitsurugi. Crim held his right high with all five fingers pointing down.
See if you dare parry this one. [[Pain of the Wosses Death]]
The net began to release an ominous purplish black aura before Crim let it fall on top of Mitsurugi. Who stood unfazed and parried the net away with ease. Crim took once more serious damage and collapsed to his knees, blood coming from all the cuts in his body.
Leeches stop it already, you can't beat him... Eh?
KYOYAAA!
Mitsurugi lay on the ground expressionless with white hair and shriveled skin, foam coming out of his mouth. Crim stood up and raised his fist, declaring this as his victory. Then fell down once again.
I need healing.
But how, how did you manage to defeat him? You didn't even catch him with the net.
Fucking blue anemone I said I need healing.
Oh, right my bad. [[Sacred Heal]] So how did you do it?
That sword was the worst match possible for me. It was like attacking with my own flesh. So, I'd ordered the chain to produce the worst pain in existence, and that's the result. The net was just a way to guarantee some skin contact from his side. He died of shock from the pain.
You killed him!
You monster! Give us Kyoya back!
[[Resurrection]] There he's alive and well now, just give him some time to rest and he will wake up.
A golden light enveloped Mitsurugi after Aqua casted resurrection. His shriveled skin began to clear and his white hair returned to auburn color once again.
Who said you could do that? This was a duel to the death and he's going to be a pain once he wakes up.
Aw your acting tough now, you.
Alley Goddess, the fuck did you just said!?
I looked over your entire life remember. I know softy here wouldn't have killed nobody if he didn't know I would do this chu. [Pokes Crim cheeks with a kiss]
That's it! COME WITH ME!
Crim took Aqua hand and tried to drag her off to the alley to meet her long due punishment.
Gya! Don't defile me my softy sinner. Gya!
And Aqua just made the situation worse for her with the teasing. Luckily for her, authority's where witnessing the duel and interrupted their alley time. They made for the guild afterwards with Crim livid like the blazing Sun.
