Chapter 10:

A Devil on My Shoulder or Rather My...

Azure Sins (Redux Ver.)


In mass, demons stormed the forest heading to one location. With the waves of demons rushing toward the demon priest. Racing their way, the smaller demons' bodies became destroyed as they came close to the priest's area, rising with the souls of buried humans and the corpses inside the village. From their bodies, their souls could be seen spirited away at greater speeds than the stronger appearing demons making their way to the demon priest. The demon priest himself stood, inhaling heavily, his eyes still facing forward down the path broken through the trees by his body.

(The human priest was right to question this one. I released my aura all over the forest...and his range doesn't span as wide as mine yet it's potent...Great enough that the weaklings' physical forms perish once in range of his...and...)

Walking down the destroyed forest ground and forestry was Karna, casually pacing forward with a devilish grin on his face. His eyes glared straight into the eyes of the demon from what seemed like a mile away. The souls were quickly sucked into a large vacuum being drawn into the demon's mouth from its deep inhale.

(Minor demons become stronger by consuming human flesh and blood. Thanks to this priest's mind and the years I've spent building my power existing between realms, learning to become an even higher demon, I must consume the cultivated souls of slain humans.)

Quickly the direction of the souls changed as they were overpowered by a stronger vacuum of air bringing them in the opposite direction of the demon priest. To his surprise, they were being devoured by Karna.

(What?! To know...the power and demonic energy...he's already a high-class demon but he can't be with that smell of human. Hmph, It's too late for him anyway.)

The demon priest chewed on what souls he had managed to eat before Karna stole the remaining few souls. Taking a deep breath the demon priest soon clenched his fists, with an increase of power from the souls he had eaten; it was enough to make his demonic aura physically visible surrounding his body, black energy flowing on his skin around like a low burning flame. His muscle mass grew notably from his boost in power gained from consuming souls.

"No matter what you are I am more powerful now."

The demon stated confidently, watching Karna closely. Karna let a deep exhale escape him after he finished consuming the last soul, a sliver of its energy seeping from the corners of Karna's lips resembling a slow-rolling mist.

"Oh is that right?" Karna confidently questioned with a grin on his face.

"Even with the number of souls I've consumed, it's more than enough to make me more powerful than you could ever dream!"

Karna broke out into a burst of short laughter.

"That would be intimidating if you were...well...intimidating! Haha!"

Karna began laughing again, mocking his opponent.

"You dare mock me? Your soul will be delicious. After I'm done with you I'll make sure to enjoy the human women as concubine slaves before I shred that top-heavy rich girl and bestial-breasted idiot. Compared to you I am a demi-god!"

Suddenly Karna's grin disappeared. Karna had a memory flashing through his mind of a much younger him alongside a girl of the same age, the two looking at each other. The young girl strongly favored a young Miyaura in appearance, with bunny ears on the top of her head. The two sat next to each other by a small campfire.

"...our memories of each other will disappear..."

He said, turning his eyes towards the girl who in turn held her eyes up to the night sky. A few seconds of silence passed, the young girl deeply processing the boy's answer.

"Could you find me again somehow?"

Young Miyaura asked, his silence to her question prompted her to simply answer herself, knowing the answer already yet still hoping for a method.

"I guess not huh? This time, our memories will disappear...but this is the only way we can escape our fate, if even only temporarily."

The despair in her voice could be heard. Young Karna simply remained silent, Joining her in looking at the night sky above, Illuminated by the moonlight.

"I'll find you."

"Huh?"

She suddenly questioned for clarity, quickly shifting her gaze over to him. Surprised by his words given their situation and what they intended to do.

"Even if we forget, I'll find you...."

Miyaura lovingly gazed at Karna, rising to her feet in excitement. Her bunny ear twitched ecstatically as she stepped closer to the male, looking down and practically leaning over him.

"It's a second promise then! If you mean your promise, become stronger than any demon, helping humans who really deserve it..if I ever feel trapped somehow, you'll come to save me!"

Miyaura then puffed out her cheeks adorably and held her hands making squeezing gestures with her hands against her flat chest

"Then it's settled! One life, you saved my Mind, this time you saved my body...and so...they're yours forever! I'll wish hard for the magic of the stars to grow huge for you! I'll make it my oath to let you rest your head on them and you'll be fueled enough to never lose! That way I can return the favor for everything you've done for me, I owe you more than one lifetime of thanks and happiness. "

She finished saying with a determined look on her face, locking eyes with a slightly blushing Karna. Surprised by the girl's words a smile formed on his face.

"It's a promise then. No matter where you are if you're trapped I'll save you. You chose on your own to go to such lengths to care for me before, without me even asking. I might not be able to return...so I promise I'll save you. No barrier, demon, or fate will stop us from trying."Karna replied. Unable to hide his smile that matched hers. With a joyous laugh, the young Miyaura tossed herself onto the young man in a loving embrace. Their cheeks pressed against one another.

Present Day

The demon priest's eyes could be seen wide in disbelief, at what seemed like a near pause in time to him. Seeing Karna lose his focus, the demon priest used this moment to his advantage. Ahead of him in this pause, multiple demons leaped and charged at Karna. Attacking him from the ground and sky alike from numerous angles surrounding him. Karna however stood in a trance, his eyes blankly staring at the ground while the memories forced their way into his mind instantly. Karna, with his head, hung low in his trance-like state had stopped moving, standing still which had made him an easy target. Time continued visually for the demon priest, although now a dreadful feeling overcame him, seeing only Karna's devilish grin stretching from ear to ear. His devilish red eyes gleamed as they peered through his strands of hair and directly into the demons as if ignoring or failing to notice the demons closing in on him from multiple directions.

"OH REALLY?!"

Karna loudly questioned. The regular flow of time returned instantly, and the demon priest witnessed a pool of darkness forming that covered Karna's body, flowing down off him and off his feet, covering them with the black demonic energy. Karna lifted his face to lock his newly revealed crimson-colored eyes to the demon priest even though the other demons attacked from all angles. Karna's body seemingly became one with the darkness, it resting over his body. From within the darkness at the center of Karna's chest, a demonic eye appeared staring directly at the demon priest. Peering from the darkness at different areas of his body. Karna pressed his palms firmly together before shifting and interlocking his fingers into a peculiar position, his hand positioning similar to one when making a dog shadow puppet. Within a second, the demons launched themselves to attack him, the darkness flowed from his body. When they became closer, the dark energy shifted its form, stretching out in multiple directions. The demonic darkness riddled with eyes began to change in shape and form, the ends of the many tendrils shifting and each taking the form of a demonic hound's head.Effortlessly, the hounds broke through, ripped, tore, and mutilated the demons surrounding Karna. In the same second, the darkness simply continued increasing in quantity. The demonic hounds weaved through the forestry killing demons as if they had a mind of their own, hunting with eradication as a priority. The demon priest managed to react when the darkness shaped and released the hounds, seeing a few racing towards him, the priest's reaction speed allowed him to lean back just out of reach of the deadly jaws belonging to one of the tendril hounds closing the gap, inches separate from his eyes. In the same movement, he launched his body backward, diving in that direction, evading the snapping jaws of other hounds that aimed to maim the priest immediately after the first one failed. Each one had missed but continued to stretch their body of darkness even further away from Karna, staying right on the demon priest's heels and giving chase.

The demon priest turned around in mid-air, his turn allowing him to escape another closing jaw just before he kicked off a passing tree, using his demonic aura to manipulate his body enabling him to stay airborne. He rapidly dodged and weaved trees, versus his make-shift power of flight, the hounds attempted to clamp their jaws onto him with every passing second.

(One wasted movement and they'll tear me apart.)

Surrounding Karna, the darkness continued to spread, the dark hounds continuously moving and mutilating any demons they could hunt. Karna stood in his original position, his eyes watching Vaughn rapidly evading trees and his dark hounds, with his devilish smile he began laughing hysterically. The laughter in addition to the look on his face portrayed his enjoyment in what seemed like excitement within pure insanity.

"Running away now? What happened? You were talking all that good shit a second ago!!"

Duality is present in his voice, simultaneously speaking in his regular voice alongside a new blood-curdling voice. A much higher pitch and sounds as if it were speaking while submerged underwater. With a grin, he began leaning forward as if he were taking a starting position in a foot race.

"Ready or-"

Suddenly he kicked off the ground. Instantly removing him from sight, although the effects of his take-off were evident, tearing apart the ground where he stood and causing the pieces of demons remaining around him to be blown away. While the demon priest continued to dodge the lethal fangs of darkness, he could hear Karna's voice projecting from the hounds.

"You want them? You'll regret even having the thought..."

Karna's voice projected from different hounds chasing the demon priest. The voice bouncing rapidly between hounds surprised him, causing Vaughn's eyes to shift to the side, hearing the voice clearly. In that brief second one of the hound's mouths clamped onto and ripped half of one of the demon priest's legs from his body. One of the priest's eyes winced from the pain but returned his other eye looking forward as he raced at a breakneck pace continuing his evasive maneuvers.

"What's wrong demi-god?! Stop running! Summon up your demons! Fight Me! Kill me-!"

Breaking out from the tree line, the demon priest saw an open grass area reaching out to a cliffside that overlooked a massive span of land. Just as he exited the forest, the demon hounds dissipated as if they had evaporated into the air itself. Their sudden disappearance caused the demon priest to look back once again, seeing the hounds in chase close to him were now gone.

(He called them off?...No!)

Quickly the demon priest's head turned forward in the direction of the cliff he was still soaring towards. The priests' eyes widened to see that now Karna stood ahead of his flight path. Karna's arms were outstretched as if he were looking to embrace his opponent. His voice originated from his new singular location, every part of his body below the neck was covered in dark energy, and multiple demonic eyes were visible all around the dark shroud that covered his body. At the speed the demon priest was moving, he knew he wasn't able to stop on time, attempting to stop or alter his flight path far too late.

"Give me a hug!"

"Wha-AAAAAAAHHH!!"

Running into Karna unable to stop his momentum, only the demon and Vaughn's agonizing wail of pain could be heard through the forest. The sound of the demon's cries was only matched by the insanity that was Karna's ominous laughter.

A short time later...

Aisellia and Miyaura stood near the village entrance, seeing the villagers' corpses around evaporate into the air, rising up above their heads as black ash. Miyaura let out a deep sigh of relief. Closing her eyes a smile came to her face.

"My nightmare finally ended..."

"So...was he...ya know?"

"Mm. Not just Vaughn. He's cleared the entire forest too..."

Miyaura said, her eyes widening from the surprise, tears falling from her eyes.

"Whoa. He did it...he actually did it!"

The two girls looked at each other with blank expressions before they couldn't help smiling at one another. Immediately moved close and hugged each other in joy, having tears of happiness streaming from their eyes.

"I thought we might die! I can still hardly believe it all turned out alright! We're alive!"

Aisellia cheered enthusiastically.

"Me too! I knew in my heart he was the one to save me again but he did more than that. More importantly to me, he saved you too Aisellia."

"Mm, I'm grateful for both of us to be saved, Thanks to him, we'll be able to leave here together!"

Suddenly the girls heavily flinched from fright as the spear of the priest pierced the ground near them. Looking up afterward, the two could see Karna crouched on top of one of the homes.

"Ya know I was thinking, all of this...it felt a little unfair so I figured I'd bring back something. That spear looks pretty valuable. You could probably find someone to sell it to. Ya know, not having cash on you and all. Heh!"

He said casually hoping down from the barely remaining rooftop structure, the girl's eyes following him down to the ground, landing in front of them next to the weapon.

"Perfect. If we're going to be traveling we'll need money for food and lodging along the way...wait."

Aisellia paused. She had suddenly remembered the deal they had struck with him, and her face immediately blushed pink. Leading Miyaura to notice her new friend's reaction, giggling and smiling at her knowing what she had remembered without a word for the context.

"Aiselliaaaa? "

Miyaura sang in a cheerful tone of voice. Prompting Aisellia to quickly flinch in reaction to knowing the other woman knew exactly what went on in her mind, simply by the way her name was called. Internally, she felt as if she had been caught performing a crime.

"Y--y-yes?"

"It seems like he more than handled his end of the bargain."

"M-maybe! I'm going to need you not to sound so enthusiastic about it Miyaura..."

"It's okay, I'm feeling a little nervous about it myself! But I've practically waited my whole life for this moment!"

Seeing the determination on Miyaura's face alongside hearing it in her voice simply riddled her. A brow on Aisellia's face raised as she could only shake her head as she quickly spoke the only words that could manifest in her mind at the time.

"Wait What? W-what in the world are you talking about?"

Miyaura suddenly leaned in close, Aisellia standing furthest away from Karna

"Hm? He liked me before my body was like this, I just want him to see the new squishier me. If he likes the squish, I've completed a promise of mine is all."

She said, Aisellia noticing her red cheeks as well. Turning back towards Karna, her eyes stopped at the spear, looking at its decorative spearhead attached to its silver pole.

"No way. That spear couldn't be!"

"Hm?" Hearing her friend's words Miyaura looked at the spear and stepped forward. Extending her hand out she attempted to grip the pole but it would quickly burn her skin the moment she attempted to wrap her hand around it. Miyaura instantly drew back her newly smoking hand.

"Owie owie owie!!" She cried, blowing on her hand to cool it down.

"Yeeeeah I had that same problem."

Karna announced to the girls.

"But YOUR hands not burnt!"

"I heal kinda quickly. It stung like hell though, that's a bet. That's why I threw it all the way here."

He said before chuckling. Both of their attentions were drawn to Aisellia as she stepped up to the spear and gripped the pole of the weapon with a single hand.

"There's no denying it now. He must have stolen it from the temple!"

"Temple? Oooh, those annoying guys. Apparently, it looking nice isn't the only thing this thing has going on."

He said leaning forward slightly and analyzing the weapon more closely.

Aisellia Rae: "In my city, it was said to be a Holy weapon used by an angel centuries ago to fight in a Holy war. With humanity helplessly in the middle, the angels protected humans but the demons used their love for humanity against them, leading to the demons winning the war. This spear was said to be able to pierce through anything demonkind. As a relic of the angels, The Temple recovered it and revered it as a Holy Relic. I thought it was always decorative. amounted in the grand cathedral. But where I'm from no one believes in demons, but I see for myself all that was a lie. The story behind the spear is believed to be a children's tale. Now It makes me wonder how much truth there actually is to that story if that priest went through the effort of stealing it. He must have never planned to return...or for any of us to return home for that matter."

Karna: "I haven't regained a lot of my memories yet but I don't recall there ever being anyone who doesn't believe demons around. That's more than common knowledge, it's the reality we live in. On another note, I've never heard of there being any angels either. Outside of a few stories like your own."

Miyaura: "I don't recall there ever being angels, only dem-Hm? You lost your memory?!"Karna: "Yup, from what I've heard I got hurt pretty bad a while ago. I was unconscious for some time. Although a couple of people would argue I was more dead than comatose. Somehow I woke back up and over time my injuries healed. I've been awake for a little over a year or so now."

Aisellia Rae: "So what have you been doing this whole time if you don't mind me asking?"

Karna: "Hmm. After I woke up I could only slightly remember two old friends of mine. Found one in her hometown and she helped me. So this year I mainly helped her with her problems, afterwards, she figured with my lost memory I should seek out our other friend. She felt like they would be able to fill in the gaps more than anyone. Buuuut I got lost, running into demons back to back for a few weeks, getting chased out of towns, and when I thought I found some out-of-the-way place I could take a nap I bumped into you two here! Aaaand that's my story."

Aisellia Rae: "So you were on your way to trying to get your memory back."

Karna: "Mhm. The problem is I got lost so I've just been wondering really. Ya know, going with the flow and all that."

Karna admitted, laughing about his situation.

Karna: "The real issue is we have no idea where they are or what crazy name they're probably going by now which makes it a lot harder to find someone who doesn't want to be found. I just know the name of the place she was at last according to my friend back home. She just thinks I'm dead is all. So technically there is no one she would want finding her."

Karna let out a depressive sigh. His hand raised to cover his face in despair.

Miyaura: "Maybe while we're helping you get home we can ask around along the way?"

Aisellia Rae: "True. We wouldn't be alive right now if not for this sexy-AHEMGHM!- Sexual degenerate!"

Miyaura: "You don't mind her calling you that Karna?"

"Hm? Oh, that? Not really. It's not like she's wrong. I can't be mad at it." He said shrugging his shoulders. Surprising Miyaura at first but making her giggle at the honest security in his nature."Speaking of which!"

He said with a mischievous smile on his face. The girl's cheeks became red simultaneously once again, Aisellia turned her nose up and looked away from him, quickly opting to close her eyes.

"W-well go ahead then. I-it's only fair since you've done your part..."

Aisellia quickly opened her eyes wide from a sudden surprise, lifting her arms slightly. Looking down at her chest she could see a pair of hands fondling her. Karna pulled, pressing her back against his chest as he groped her from behind. Shyly she kept her arms up and diverted her eyes away in embarrassment. His hands repeatedly caressed her breasts in the palms of his hands, switching between gentle squeezes and jiggling them within his grasp. The firm hold on her continued to lightly press her against the male. As his hands delightfully explored her, an almost unfamiliar sensation tingled through her body causing her knees to weaken under her. As a result just as her back pressed against his chest, Karna lowered his head next to hers. Seeing Aisellia's reaction led Karna to smirk, lowering his head next to hers as they continued. Aisellia became quickly overwhelmed, slightly embarrassed to have her knees slightly buckle in addition to this embarrassing act she had thought up and consented to.

The instinctual reaction to escape his grasp from the tingle expanding through her body faded just as quickly as it came, feeling Karna's hands were no longer just fondling, but now soothingly massaging her breasts. Slowly his hands caressed her, forming a small circle as he gently squeezes them repeatedly. The sensation of the man's hands enveloped her in a blanket of unfamiliar euphoria. Willfully allowing his finger to prowl, his middle fingers gently pressed on target as her breasts filled the palms of Karna's hands. Instinctually, Aisellia pressed her cheek against his, one hand reaching up and gently touching his hair.

"Bountiful jiggle. This soft sinking squeeze is more than my hands can grab at once, easily filling my hands with more to spare. Oooh? they're much bigger than this outfit shows though. Even with these, you're still a modest noblewoman heh-heh. one-hundred centimeters of legendary perfection! H-cup if I haven't lost my touch."

"H-how?! You're very much correct on the number..."

"I like to think I've got a master's eye for these types of things."

A slight sensual whimper came from Aisellia's lips, the man's fondling starting to affect her physically.

"H-hey, it's been a decent amount of time, you may stop now!"

Just like that, she could no longer feel him on her. To her expressed surprise she suddenly heard an audible sound similar to her own coming from Miyaura. Miyaura stood with a happy yet submissive smile on her face. Having removed the cloak herself, Miyaura left her attire revealed. What was a thigh-length dress in her past now fit her notably shorter than a mini-skirt, leaving much of her legs and thighs revealed, her body had grown, leaving it shredded in areas, with her breasts stretching the material to leave a large gap of revealed flesh more so than the rest of her torso. The gown hanging on her shoulders by now thin straps. From sight, Aisellia could tell by the way Karna lifted Miyaura, that her breasts greatly outsized hers in both sizes but greatly in volume as she witnessed her friend's chest seem to continuously spill between Karna's fingers as if they were attempting to escape his grasp no matter the angle of approach. Aisellia lost herself to curiosity, unknowingly watching it all unfold with interest. Hesitant whimpers escaped Miyaura's lips as she was fondled and massaged just as Aisellia was. In an attempt to prove herself as tough Miyaura attempted to hold back the sensual noises, she yearned to cry out her back pressed against the male. Slowly his finger massaged their way to the tips, holding her chest elevated in the palms of his hand and allowing his index fingers to press gently on them. Her whimpers soon became light moans as the euphoric sensations began welling up inside her. Karna's fingers toyed with the girl within his grasp, playing with the tips of her breasts and leaving her knees weak enough to fall back against him fully. A haze overcame her mind as her ass pressed onto his lower body, feeling the warmth of his breath on her neck only made her body temperature rise. The feelings coursing through her body visibly affected her mind, evidently by the dazed look in her eyes but the large grin formed by her lips with her head leaned back resting it on the man's shoulder. Instinctively tilting her head, leaving her neck exposed to the man as well.

Yet almost immediately something else had gained her attention, bringing the appearance of life back to Miyaura's eyes. With the sensations riddling her body, all were amplified in an instant as she felt something press on her rear end, firmly wedged within the crevice of her booty from the pressures of roughly pressing their bodies together. Not able to resist after feeling her pressure, Karna removed a hand from her breasts and placed it onto the woman's waist as he began aiding Miyaura in what her instincts desired. Firmly holding their bodies together in place, The heat of her body turned Miyaura's skin a shade of bright pink due to her rising extreme levels of physical excitement, the heat escaping her body visibly with each hot breath that left her, evidenced by her visible heated breath to the cool air surrounding them. Her mind grew blank the longer she could feel him on her, her hands involuntarily reached out and began grasping air.

(S-s-so close, it couldn't feel like this if it wasn't him!-Nnnm!)

Miyaura screamed in her mind. After several more seconds, one hand of hers found and gripped onto the male pants leg, whose hand rested on her waist while the other reached up and behind her, taking a firm grip of Karna's hair. The feeling of him growing strongly on her, so close to touching, yet separated by fabrics bestowed a blanket of haze over her thoughts. Her body struck with a sudden rise in a euphoria that lead Miyaura's lower body to instinctually press her ass more aggressively onto his pelvis, slightly wiggling, nestling it further in of her own accord as her body moved on its own but fully in her desire of what she truly wanted. Her eyes lowered halfway with a dazed look in her eye, and a trail of drool seeped from the corner of her lips through her grin.

(She looks like she's enjoying it...) "Oh! Miyaura! I just thought about it and noticed your cursed mark had disappeared when we were tossed out of the cave."

Speaking to her friend, she realized Miyaura wasn't responding to her. Aisellia's blushed-faced being evidence of what had transpired had gotten a little too intense for her, and she opted to look at something else mid-way into their interaction. Miyaura curiously turned her eyes over to her friend to see a dazed but joyful expression on her face. It is even more obvious she was enjoying the feeling of his hands fondling her by the trail of saliva trickling from the side of her mouth.

"Mmmmm!"

"Hey, Aisellia to Miyaura. Your curse mark.......Am I coming in alright?"

While the two girls conversed, Karna simply minded his business fondling and playing with Miyaura's breasts with a highly pleasing look on his face that matched Miyaura's enjoyment, having stars twinkle in his eyes. Aisellia pulled the spear from the ground and held it in her hand. Miyaura perked up curiously looking over her own body.

"Oh! I hadn't noticed."

"Thinking back. It disappeared when...huh? I don't know when actually."

"Hmm, weird. Well, he was looking for his friend before he found us right? So if we find them on the way that might be something they'd be able to give us a clue as to why."

"That may be for the best. He's lost his memory and was lost, I only know my city-"

"And I only know this village. I don't remember where I'm from originally but wherever it was me and my parents fled from there to this village when I was little so I don't know much of the world."

Listening to Miyaura, Aisellia noticed Karna had a goofy look stuck on his face while his hands explored Miyaura's body. Aisellia watched him with a disappointed look followed by a sigh. On the other hand, Miyaura looked at her and talked obviously not being bothered at all by him as he easily found his enjoyment groping, fondling, and jiggling her breasts within his hands easily filling the spaces and squishing between his fingers.

"Phenomenal fullness, the volume of squish! Their weight, this squish spilling between my fingers, and out of my hands. One hundred and Twelve centimeters! I'd easily be smothered to death happily! Better than anyone could imagine would exist or on such a beautiful woman! heh-heh!"

Aisellia simply walked up and repeatedly hand-chopped him on the top of his head casually until he backed off of Miyaura. Aisellia knew it wouldn't hurt him but at least it would annoy him until she got her point across. Knocking him off of her led him to playfully rub his head in a sense of pain.

"I've been on the road for weeks and ended up going in one big circle. It might be a good idea to stop back home. I can remember how to get there at least. Got a friend who stays in town too. She's the one who helped me after I lost my memory. We could get better directions and rest up some before we find out how to get you two home."

"And a bath!" Both girls said excitingly with stars in their eyes at the thought of a hot bath.

"Then it's settled captain Aisellia!" He said while playfully bowing to her.

"C-Captain?!" She quickly questioned. Hearing this Miyaura could only vocally express her approval, "Ooooo!" Miyaura responded curiously with a finger to her lips, looking rather curious about what Karna suddenly did and said.

"It was part of the deal, wasn't it? I become your guard dog, nothing will harm you as long as I'm here Captain. Woof Woof!"

Karna said before playfully barking at the girls, lifting his head and smiling at them. Led both girls' cheeks to become blushed, their eyes glistening at the way he looked as he did so. Aisellia and Miyaura looked each other in the eye for a moment, noticing each other's reactions. Aisellia turned her head to the other side and folded her arms while Miyaura simply smiled and giggled. Now announcing her opinion on the matter.

"I like the sound of Captain Aisellia!"

"F-fine! You'll have to do anything I say, got it? No matter what it is or how demeaning it may be for you! Even if it's just for my entertainment!"

"I'm all for a little fun and discipline if it's coming from you. You dress like a noble so it's only fitting to have a bodyguard too, well...heh...guard your body."

"P-please don't say such odd things...you sure are awfully agreeable."

"How could I not be agreeable with you two? Of course, I admire your physiques but...in a way, when you're going with the flow it just feels like you're moving in the right direction sometimes Like you're starting what's possibly the biggest set of arcs of your life."

"W-well...I'll be counting on you."

Karna & Miyaura: "Of course Captain!"

The two said, saluting Aisellia, Miyaura having joined in on the fun shocking Aisellia. Karna looked at Miyaura at his side who stood in the same position. The two looked into each other's eyes, sharing a laugh at their shared sense of humor.

(One day...I'm sure you'll-)

"Now I can keep you close until I can fulfill my promises." He said with a smile, Miyaura's eyes widening with tears beginning to form in her eyes.

"You remember?!"

"Just a little if I'm being honest. While I was fighting I had some memories return in flashes. I remember a promise to a girl a long time ago. I was able to remember her face, her eyes, that smile of hope. I know nothing of why or when it took place. We're a lot older now and I'm sure it's your face. Your eyes...the light in them never changed."

He said, his eyes trailing down to her exposed cleavage. A sparkle came to his eyes.

"After all it looks like you kept your end and grew-"

"Huge! So you can rest your head on! Hee-Hee. There were multiple parts to the promise but I'm glad you remembered the most important part...me!"

She said while leaping onto him, wrapping her legs around him to latch on. Immediately grabbing his head and shoving it between her breasts, smothering him while she clung onto his head with a smile on her face, still tears in her eyes. Miyaura held his face enveloped within her cleavage, completely submerging his face between them, wrapping her legs tighter around his waist while he easily and happily stood and enjoyed it all. Aisellia looked shocked at Miyaura's sudden advancement on Karna.

(Miyaura's a little lewd too huh?)

She questioned watching the two of them, Karna simply allowed his face to be smothered, giving Aisellia a thumbs up signaling he was enjoying what was happening.

"This is going to be some trip with you two...but I'm glad...we're able to live another day."

Aisellia finished saying, looking at the two and thinking of what they had just survived brought tears of happiness streaming from her eyes following a great smile of joy.

"Before we go...I want to make proper graves for my friends and the victims of this village, especially Eileen. We'll never forget them."

Aisellia made sure to mention, Staring out to the empty village as its faint mist finally began to fade. Revealing to the girls the tattered remains of villagers' clothing littered everywhere. Suddenly, a wave of emotions swept both women. Not one of sadness, but one as if a massive weight was removed from their shoulders. Silent, their bodies felt the sudden relief of pressure in their muscles. Their minds are finally able to rest after what seemed like an eternity of fortitude. Their spirits feel lifted, removing all the pressures and stresses held within. Silently they stood. Suddenly Aisellia hastily embraced Miyaura. Both began to shed tears unapologetically while holding one another compassionately in their embrace.

(And kick the shit out of a little blonde bitches corpse a few hundred times!)

Aisellia made sure to note to herself mentally.
