Cherreads

Chapter 2 - My veggies!!

A lone knight walked across a field of red spider lilies, these flowers were believed to grow in areas where a lot of blood was shed, the knights scarlet hair mirrowed the flowers that surrounded her and she walked up to a small hill, in it were five weapons a broad sword, a magic staff, a great sword, a pair of daggers and a gauntlet that looked like the one on her right hand except this one had seen it's fair share of battle and it's cracks made it more than obvious, the Knight's gaze lingered on the gauntlets as memories of the past flowed through her head, in her memories five kids talked excitedly about big dreams and an ultimate goal to live luxuriously, among those kids was a boy with blonde hair, he dreamed of being the one to kill the the demon king with a barrage of blows from his fists, the knights memories shifted to the moment she saw each of her comrades die, she remembered how the blonde haired boy gave up his life to ensure her survival, she remembered how she swore to take revenge and restore world peace but at this moment she questioned whether killing the demon lord was worth all the loss, despite wanting to create a peaceful world the knight was further saddened that there really wasn't much of a world left to enjoy the luxury of peace.

Knight:(sighs) It is done, now I'll join my fallen comrades in the afterlife, wait for me I'm on my way

With this she drew her blade and placed it on her neck, even before she applied any force blade made its way through her neck and a long trail of blood slid down the blade, in her final moments she thought to herself

Knight: the gods have been cruel to me my whole life, I just hope they'll give me something worth while in my next life

With this she forced her blade through her own neck and her decapitated head fell to the ground and her consciousness faded away, although in her last moment she heard a voice

Voice:Rejoice child for your prayers have been answered

Meanwhile, a boy found himself in a full of various vegetables ranging from lovely green lettuce to huge cabbages, this boy had a rather strange obsession with gardening which was easily his only responsible hobby, as he weeded a bed of cabbages he hummed along to a song that was rather popular among his peers and the rhythm of the song made him oblivious to a strange distortion in space thar appeared behind him, it wasn't until a bright light flashed behind him that he decided to look back, at first it looked like nothing happened but when he got closer to his tomato bed he saw something or rather someone who made him freeze in place, in the tomato bed lay a beautiful girl with scarlet hair and fair skin that shone under the morning sun, she wore a strange outfit that comprised of a chest plate that shielded her rather voluptuous bosom, her waist and below was just as curvaceous and was protected by chainmail that ran down to her knees, the beating sun resuscitated her and she stirred uncomfortably and she began to open her eyes only to be blinded by the morning sun but, soon her eyes adapted and she was met by a worried face from a boy she didn't recognize

Knight: Is he an angel, is this the afterlife, he's not half bad looking especially for an angel although his body looks like it'd benefit a lot from some proper training but I do wonder why does he look so worried is he surprised I took my own life

Haru: No ...

Knight: oh he finally spoke

Haru: Are you ok !

Knight: yeah I think -

Haru: Not you! Get out of here !

In an impressive display of strength and speed he picked her up only to throw her back down at his side, he then dropped to his knees and picked a strange red object

Haru: My babies, my poor, sweet, juicy tomatoes ! You had all these options, even the spinach would make a better bed, no offense spinach we both know I've got beef with you, anyway what possessed your broke a** and made you sleep in my tomato bed

Knight: Broke a**, I must apologize for I know not what my broke a ** is and I fail to grasp what it is you meant when you said you have beef with the spinach, for the record it's rather tasty but it can't be compared to beef

Haru: ugh! A spinach lover- wait that's not the issue here quite messing with me and tell me what you're doing here

Knight: I died where else would I go?

Haru: ah you died, well you seem pretty alive to me , ok here's what we'll do, you'll die again except this time I'll help

Knight: this is making no sense

Haru: tell me about it

Knight: is this not the afterlife are you not an angel

Haru: If you came here to flirt with me then there would have been better ways of doing so that do not involve wrecking my garden!

Knight: Flirt? Please get over yourself, although I must admit you are not half bad in looks, I'm not here to court angels I want to find my comrades

Haru: Again with this angel thing why do you keep calling me one-

???: Morning haru that's quite the interesting conversation you're having, I hope I'm not interupting

Even as Haru heard these words a chill went down his spine because he knew the owner of the voice was being sarcastic and he could basically feel them staring with such malice that knight instinctively grabbed the hilt of her blade

Knight * this malice, it is like nothing I have ever felt , it is comparable to that of a warrior who has spent their entire life hating you, this other angel must be dangerous this malice, it is like nothing I have ever felt , it is comparable to that of a warrior who has spent their entire life hating you, this other angel must be dangerous*

Haru:(while shivering )hey neighbor, lovely morning don't you think, perfect for gardening am I right

Girl: sure, I see you're also using the lovely morning to hide and flirt with a beautiful girl am I right

Haru: no it's not what it looks like you've got it all wrong I wasn't hiding and flirting with her I just found her sleeping in my tomato bed, wait why am I defending myself, why do you care?

Girl: I'm the one asking questions here understand?!

Haru: Yes ma'am, but I assure you I wasn't flirting with her

Girl:(sarcastically )sure you weren't, but I must admit you've really grown a pair Haru, I understand she's good looking and on top of that she's dressed like one of those waifus you like so much...

Despite saying this the girl still eminated the malicious intent of a wife who just caught her husband cheating

Haru: No Mika, it's not like that besides you are also good looking but when have I ever his you here to start flirting

Suddenly the malice in the air disappeared as fast as it came and left a shy girl covering her face bashfully, her tanned skin didn't do much to hide her crimson blush, the girl looked away and began to twirl a hair strand

Mika: so you really think I'm good looking huh?

Haru: that's what you're worried about

Mika: just answer the question, dummy

Haru: I mean yeah you are good looking

Mika: for that I forgive you but you'd better not cheat on me again

Haru: cheat? I'm not cheating on anyone, I still love my radishes and no one is changing that

Mika: well I'm better looking than any radish in your garden

Haru: true but let's not forget unlike you radishes can be eaten

Mika: are you sure you wouldn't want to eat me, naughty boy I'm sure you've thought of it at least once, just look at me

As she said this she took a pose that showed of her curves especially her waist area and the boy turned away to hide a the blush that covering his face but when he turned he saw the knight except she had one hand on her head and her face made it obvious she was in pain before he could say anything she closed the distance between them and fell right on top him.

The knight found herself in a large hallway and memory told her it this was the demon king's castle, she was surrounded by her old comrades and a blonde haired boy wearing gauntlets led the charge into the throne room of the castle, the knight tried to shout to stop them but it was too late, she once again witnessed her friends getting brutally killed one by one and she saw the blonde haired guy take a fatal blow to protect, in that moment and emotions boiled over and she shouted.

Knight : Kazuki !!!

Haru: Yes, wait how do you know my game name?
