After the bath, Nacht called both Lys and the yet-to-be-named half-elf girl to a meeting. Nacht intended to tell the girls about his Shadow Garden and make their first recruits.
He wanted this Organization to form and take root as fast as possible. To recruit new members, he needed to travel the world or at least the three discovered countries.
Like his inspiration, only people in despair can give the most loyalty. So naturally, he needed to find those people to take advantage of their situations... I meant to say that to provide them with a second chance to live. [Authors Plugin, go check out]
Lys and the half-elf girl came into the room for the meeting. The new girl looked beautiful, her body was washed, and silky golden hair flowed to her shoulders. Although her hairstyle needed some work, her look seemed quite fresh overall.
She looked at Nacht with such reverence that one can only show to a god. Nacht didn't know what happened to her so suddenly, but he had a hunch that it is something to do with both bathing together.
Yes, his hunch was correct. As soon as they were alone, Lys began rambling about her master's greatness. And the new girl listened to it like some kind of gospel.
After being seated and comfortable, Nacht said, "You look beautiful after a shower."
"Wa- Thankyow, Master," The new girl muttered with a red face.
"Now, onwards to the main reason of this meeting, I will get straight to the point; I want to create an organization," Nacht said with a serious face that showed he was not joking.
Getting out of her thoughts, she asked Nacht, "What kind of organization, master?"
Nacht smiled slightly and replied. "A shadow organization that saves the world."
To say that both girls were surprised was an understatement. Both were out of their wits, the new girl who had just started to unravel how big the world was had absolutely no idea.
Lys was surprised. Her master was just eight; at this age, children usually worry about their dinner and aim to steal their teacher's panties. [Guess the reference]
But now, her master was thinking about saving the world? This was unheard of; the biggest geniuses don't usually go this far at this young age. Her master was genuinely benevolent, for he to sacrifice his own childhood to save this world.
But before Lys could answer that she agreed, she could see that the speech wasn't over. Nacht wanted to say more about the Organization, so she asked again. "What kind of threats are you talking about, master?"
"The devil's invasion!" Nacht said; Lys was terrified by the name of devils. Although her master can control one, that doesn't mean everyone is like her master.
They were truly nasty creatures who knew nothing but selfishness.
"We must stop the devils from pouring into this world, although it is okay if the devils are in stable contract with the owner. But there is a group that wants to liberate the devils inside our own world. That would be the doom."
"We accept master, but what should we do?" Lys said with a determined face.
"First, we need to name our new member," Nacht said, to which the half-elf girl's eyes shone brightly.
"Her name shall be Ersty Shadow from now on," Nacht said with a proud smile... Ersty repeated her name continuously as a tear formed in her eyes.
Lys asked, "Master, what is this title?"
"Oh, I am adopting this name in my underground organization; I won't go by Nacht, but by the name of Shadow," Nacht replied
"Mou! Ersty gets to have master's name," Lys pouted.
"You will too. When you join the Organization, you will be called Lys Shadow," Nacht reassured her.
He was doing this naming thing because it just sounded cool. He did not know of the effect it created and what waves it would bring to the future.
"But where do we start, master?" Ersty asked, speaking clearly and confidently with a confident tone this time. Her eyes were sparkling with tears, but determination in them was apparent.
Nacht was taken aback by this behavior and almost forgot the part of his script; regaining his bearings, he replied. "Well, your real names should be hidden at all costs."
"Our first priority is for you to start training with me and become strong; our challenge starts from there. I want to startup a company too! But we need more people for that."
"In a few years, I will travel the world to recruit more people. Till then, I will be here, training you and making our foundation stronger."
"Ersty, your foundation and mana affinity is only second to mine, so you will be my right hand; in this organization, your name will be Alpha."
"Lys, your combat is good, and you have a talent for managing stuff too. The only thing you forget or misplace is my underwear. Your name will be Beta."
Hearing this, Ersty's eyes perked up, and a metaphorical fire lit in them while Lys was trying to dig herself into a metaphorical hole. The fact that Nacht said the last line with an extremely serious face made it worse.
This was the start of the Organization that will forever change the future of this world. Just because of the whims of a delusional bastard.
His Organization was 100% female reserved. Which meant he needed twice the effort to find appropriate users.
From that day onwards, Lys and Ersty began to train with each other, becoming as close as sisters. But the love and devotion they had for Nacht only continued to grow.
During this time, Nacht made another familiar, a Devil named Slotos. As Gimodelo's ability was cloning, Slotos' ability allowed Nacht to increase his physical resistance. He paired up Slotos to close ranged fights.
One idea flashed in Nacht's mind like any normal weeb. What if he combines two or more devils in one. He began testing and practicing it.
And just like that, almost 3 years passed, and Nacht became 11. Ready to start a journey of the unknown and recruit some damsels in distress.
