CHAPTER 5: Shuun's Acceptance

Dawn in the Beetroot Village

Veronica is looking outside the window of the inn they rented for a rest while the others are still sleeping

Veronica: (It's been two days since I left my place and a lot of things already happened...)

Veronica: (I never thought a dryad like Treya decided to come with us...)

Veronica: (And Lilith... according to her story she was a demon king's granddaughter which she killed with her own hands. And because of it she becomes the uncrowned king of demon empire...)

Veronica: *sigh* (I can not believe it)

Veronica: (She is an actual royal blood but she acts like a commoner)

Veronica: *tch* (She even picked the most expensive room in this inn and ordered a lot of food despite being broke)

Veronica: (And let us pay her bills)

Veronica: ( Thanks to Treya that she brings golds with her)

Veronica: *sigh* (Lilith... you shameless little piece of shit)

The sun rises...

Lilith, Treya, and Shaun woke up...

Lilith: *Yawn*... Good morning...

Lilith: Ah Veronica you already awake huh

Veronica: I just can't sleep well...

Lilith: Hahaha why are you so grumpy in this early morning?

Veronica: *Annoyed* (You little!...)

Veronica glared at Lilith with

Shuun: Good morning... Eeeeek!!!

Lilith: Woah Woah Woah calm down!

Shaun: *whispers* what happened this early?

Lilith: *whispers* I don't know she was already angry when I woke up

Lilith: *Whispers* For now let's settle this fist

Lilith: Umm... Veronica... why are you angry?

Lilith: I know you beating me in your mind

Lilith: But... what did I do?

Lilith: [Magic: Charm]

Lilith tries to charm Veronica by acting cute

Veronica: *Spits on the floor with a visible annoyed face*

Lilith: Eh??? It doesn't work???

Veronica: Of course, it doesn't work

Veronica: We are both females

Lilith: But my charm can affect Nee-chan even though I don't use any charm magic and we are both females also

Veronica: *sigh* don't try to change our topic

Veronica: So... When do you plan to pay us?

Lilith: Huh?.. When did I get into debt on you?

Veronica: Last night

Lilith: I thought you were treating me that time

Veronica: I'm not!!!

Lilith: Hahaha do not worry about it

Lilith: You will going to forget it soon

Veronica: Eh???

Veronica: You have no plan on paying it???

Lilith: Well if I have money I will pay

Lilith: But now I don't have any, so...

Lilith: Thanks for the treat

Veronica: You!.... *comes closer to Lilith*

Lilith: Wait! Wait! Wait!..

Lilith: Why am I the only one to blame?

Lilith: Shuun didn't pay any too

Veronica: Shuun is just a child

Veronica: Unlike you, who is already an adult

Shuun: Wait...

Shuun: I did nothing wrong right?

Veronica: Yes you don't, why?

Shuun grins at Lilith

Shuun: Imma go out for a moment *leaves*

Lilith: You scumbag!!!

Lilith: Don't leave me!!!

Treya: *Yawn* good morning...

Lilith: Nee-san help me!

Lilith jumped on Treya's bed

Treya: Ohh don't be scared nee-chan is here

Veronica: Oii don't use her as cover

Treya: What is the problem, Veronica?

Veronica: She is the problem!

Veronica: Treya, you spoiling her too much

Veronica: She's an adult you know?

Treya: It doesn't matter, she is cute

Veronica: *Sigh* If you say so...

Veronica: You're paid the most anyway

Treya got up from her bed and look outside the window

Treya: The weather today is beautiful isn't it?

Lilith: Indeed it is

Veronica: People here are sure lively too

Veronica: Look at those children that are already awake in this early morning

Lilith: They look like preparing for the school

Treya: ...

Treya: Imma take a walk

Lilith: Umm nee-chan where are you going?

Treya: I'll go visit that school

Veronica and Lilith got alerted. They suddenly understand each other just through eye contact

Lilith and Veronica: (Oh crap!)

Veronica: (Lilith!)

Lilith:(Leave it to me)

Veronica: Treya...

Treya: Huh?

Veronica: I will come with you

Treya: Huh? why?

Veronica: Well... I kinda want to see that school as well hahaha

Veronica: I'll clean myself first

Treya: I'm not in hurry so go ahead

Lilith: Well then...

Lilith: Imma go out first

Treya: Huh? Where are you going?

Lilith: I'm going to look at Shuun

Lilith: That bastard kid abandoned me

Veronica: Well good luck then, see you

Lilith: See ya

Treya: Be careful outside okay

Lilith: Yeah thanks

Lilith leaves the inn.

Veronica: (I leave the rest to you, Lilith)

When Lilith is on the town's street, she saw Shuun sitting beneath the tree

Shuun: *Sigh*...

Shuun: I wonder what happened to her...

Lilith: Call me master from on

Lilith is already standing and leaning on the other side of the tree.

Shuun: Wha! when did you get in here?...

Shuun: And... Why I will call you master?

Lilith: Didn't I tell you before?...

Lilith: I accept you as my student

Lilith: So call me master from now on

Shuun: But...

Lilith: You are too weak and had only a little mana?

Lilith: That you will become a burden if you stay with us?

Shuun: ... Yeah...

Lilith: Let me ask myself some questions...

Lilith: Do you want to stay with us?

Shuun: Yes

Lilith: If you want to stay with us. Do you want to stay weak and burdened like you are right now?

Shuun: I don't

Lilith: You wish to become strong?

Shuun: Yes!

Lilith: Why do you to be strong?

Shuun: I want to stay with you guys and become useful one day!

Lilith: *Smiles* Now! I will ask you again

Lilith: would you want to be my student?

Shuun: Yes! Master!

Lilith: Good to hear...

Lilith: Now as your Master I will give my first assignment to you

Lilith: It will prove that you are useful

Shuun: What is this assignment?

Lilith: We will save this village from a certain dryad

Shuun: Eh?

Lilith: Our mission is to sneak into this village and warn all the children we can see to stay away from her. You got that

Shuun: Got it

Lilith: Now let's get moving

Lilith: They are about to leave the inn

Meanwhile...

At the inn...

Treya: Veronica are you ready?

Veronica: Yeah yeah...

Veronica leaves the dressing room with a very elegant dress that matches her fierce aura

Treya: Ohhh

Treya: I knew you're an elegant lady

Veronica: Thank you hahaha...

Treya: Let's go?

Veronica: Alright

When they go down to the inn hall, people that are in the hall got attracted to them

Guy 1: Hey look at those 2 Hotties

Guy 2: Woah they are gorgeous

Guy 3: Is this love at first sight?

Guy 4: Umm guys I think I'm sick

Guy 4: l'll go back to my room

Guy 2: Yeah me too

Guy 3: Ahh it's so hot Imma go to my room too

Girl 1: Tch! These guys are trash

Girl 2: Gross

Girl 3: Hahahaha

At the Village street...

Lilith and Shuun split up to make missions complete faster.

Meanwhile, on the street, Lilith sensed a danger

Lilith: Tch! They are on the way already...

Lilith goes near the inn to check on them

Lilith: Hmmm... somehow those two look beautiful when they are not with me.

Lilith: *glares* Those annoying milk bags

Lilith: shaking shamelessly.

At that moment, Lilith saw a young girl nearby.

Lilith: Heh...

Lilith: This is perfect

Lilith: [Transformation Magic]

Lilith transformed into a different person to avoid being noticed when she's with Treya and the others.

She approaches the girl immediately and gives her a warning

Lilith: Hey kid!

Young Girl: Huh? Nee-san who are you?

Lilith: Listen to me! This place is dangerous

Lilith: Especially to the kids like us!

Lilith written to her face shows how terrible the situation is, and looks so scared

Young Girl: Nee-san are you okay?

Lilith: No! I'm not!

Lilith: Kid what is your name?

Young Girl: A...Aisa

Lilith: Listen Aisa!...

Lilith: you see those beautiful girls over there?

Aisa: Yes?

Lilith: Be careful on the green one

Lilith: She is a child molester

Lilith: She will attack any child's insight

Lilith: She will going to grab any part of your body and will lick you brutally!

Aisa: Eeeek!

Lilith: No one dares to fight her back

Lilith: She can destroy an entire city with her evil powers if she got upset.

Lilith: The only option we have is to hide from her

Lilith: I'm begging you! Aisa!

Lilith: Go save your fellow children from her!

Lilith: I don't want you to experience what I experienced... Remembering that makes me

Lilith: Ahhh! Ahhhhh!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Lilith run away like a brutally traumatized rape victim

Aisa: Nee-chan!!!

Aisa: This is bad...

Aisa: I need to tell the others

Aisa told to every child to hide. She even goes to school and told to everyone what danger will come to them. So, the school teachers decided to close the school and hide all the students in the classrooms

While Treya and Veronica are on the way, they feel something strange in the village.

Treya: This is weird...

Treya: I don't see any child nearby *pouting*

Veronica: Maybe they are in school

Veronica: (Everyone is glaring at us like we are criminals)

Treya: Don't mind them, Veronica...

Treya: They are too scared to attack us

Treya: So keep your guard down

Treya: We are going to the children's school

Treya: You should not scare them

Veronica: You're the scary one!!!

Trey: Huh? I didn't know that

Veronica: *sigh*

:Beetroot School for Children:

Veronica: Huh? There is no one here

Veronica tried to open the gate...

Veronica: It's locked

The disappointment is well written on Treya's face

Veronica: Hahaha cheer up treya

Veronica: Maybe they don't have school today

Treya: But I saw they preparing themselves

Veronica: oooooor they all went out for a school outing? Ahahaha...

Veronica: Wanna look after them?

Treya: Nah let's go back

Veronica: oh okay... (forgive us an )

When they are on their way back to the inn...

Aisa: *running* I'm glad I warned them all about that disaster *pant* *pant* *pant*

When Aisa is entering the crossing of the street she bumped into someone and fell to the ground

Aisa: Awww!

Treya: Oh no are you okay?

Aisa: Yup don't worry about it onee-san

Treya: O-oooo Onee-san!?...

Treya: You're so sweet and cute!! hehehe

Aisa: Huh?

When Aisa looked up, she got shocked and terrified which makes her unable to move

Aisa: (I-i-it's the green lady)

Aisa's flashback

-Lilith: She will attack any child's insight

Lilith: She will going to grab any part of your body and will lick you brutally!

Aisa: Eeeek!-

Veronica: She ain't moving

Veronica: Oii you still with us?

Treya: This is bad she had a bruise on the knee, I gonna heal it

Aisa: *snaped out* S-stay away!!!

Treya: Eh?

Aisa: Don't come closer to me!!!

Aisa: You evil lady!!!

Treya: But your knee is...

Treya: *grabs Aisa's knee*

Aisa: I SAID STAY AWAY!!! *Slaps Treya*

Aisa escaped and got away from them.

Meanwhile... Lilith that is watching them from afar goes to see what happened to Treya

Lilith: According to what I see

Lilith: I feel like I own an apology to you nee-chan

Lilith: Forgive me

Veronica: Lilith you don't have to

Veronica: I don't this she got upset with it

Treya: *Breaths heavily and is So happy*

Treya: The strength of that slap...

Treya: Is so child, hehehe

Treya: I didn't feel this pleasure for a long time augh!!!

Lilith: Oii don't wet yourself

Lilith and Veronica look at her like looking at trash from behind

Veronica: By the way where is Shuun?

Lilith: Don't know

Veronica: I thought you gonna find him

Lilith: Yeah... When I found him we got separated again

Veronica: I see, no worries now he coming

Shuun: Oiii!!! what are you doing in here?

Lilith: Nothing, let's go back to the inn now

Lilith: Veronica that's amazing senses ya got there

Veronica: Dragon Sense is an ability for dragons to sense danger and strange weather

Lilith: Ohhh

Lilith: by the way let's go back to the inn Imma tell ya about our next route

:Beetroot Inn:

Lilith: I bought a map of the entire kingdom

Lilith: Right now we are in the east of the Gia kingdom

Lilith: And I kinda want to go in south

Veronica: South huh

Lilith: The Capital of the kingdom is in west

Lilith: If we go to North there is a shore and a city in there

Lilith: But I am more interested in the south

Lilith: I wanna see the elven forest, the fallen ruins, and a free race city

Treya: I agree with that

Treya: I wanna visit the elven forest as well

Veronica: Free race city huh?

Shuun: Fallen Ruins!

Lilith: Let's find a treasure in there, Shuun

Shuun: Yes master

Veronica: Master?

Lilith: Well Shuun is officially my student now

Lilith: So it is only natural for him to call me master

Veronica: I see, then...

Veronica: I might teach him as well

Veronica: Shuun why not call me Sensei?

Sensei means teacher
