Everyone Died (5)

I've been wondering.

What kind of isekai plot would this be?

Think about it for a second. There are like many many different isekai novels out there with different versions of how the MC reincarnated. I get how my situation is unorthodox but there has to be some mix-match pieces to it.

First of all, what kind of isekai world is Imagi? If I'm not wrong, only 'heroes' can view status windows, which means that it's kinda grounded and not game-like for those originally living in the world. Magic is a must have but as for things like skills.. martial skill, hazure skill, unique skill, health gauge, mana gauge, statistics, class systems, job systems, weapon tiers... I wasn't sure what world laws existed in Liliath's world.

And what kind of plotline are we in? Are we side characters? That would be great, you know?

Unknown himself said that there were heroes. So it's the class summon kind? Or class got accidently dragged into summoning? Or did everyone in the class die by train-san to be reincarnated?

Also, are there external reincarnation factors like someone being reborn in Liliath's, having to restart as a baby? Or are there those who had souls swapped? An eroge kind of reincarnation perhaps? What about the gods? In hierarchy, Bleu is above the gods that govern Imagi, so the gods aren't really gods.. they're just fictional gods since.. I believe in God yet I haven't even met God. What a weird paradox huh? I'm Christian by the way.

How about the kind of world Imagi is? Dwarves, elves, dragons and beastkins are a thing, how about pixies, druids, ghouls, spirits, or demi-gods? Is it a world biased towards war? Or is it a world filled with misunderstandings in the political field? Or is it peaceful except that the birth of the Demon Lord disrupted this peace?

Will the empire betray the heroes? Will the heroes get to return home? Where did the heroes come from anyways?

It's so weird. I'm super pumped yet confused.

"No-el~"

Liliath pinched my nose. Hey..

Her pair of rubies eyes seemed to vice my very existence..

How should I put it? I get how her eyes are crimson already but there's this weird red glint in it that I've never seen before. And for some reason, it's making her look a million times more attractive than usual. I think it's impossible for me not to fall in love with such a Liliath.

Wait. We're both demon lords now aren't we?

Here I am, sitting on the couch holding her in an embrace as she curled up sitting on me like a koala, both hands wrapped around my neck with her body leaning against me.

"So Liliath, what abilities do you want? Since you're going to be reincarnated, I have to create a good unique ability," bringing me back to reality, Unknown asked and took a puff of cigarette smoke. Oddly enough, it smelled more coffee than smoke. Is that cigarette made of tobacco or coffee? I'm pretty sure that isn't normal.

Bleu on the other hand, who sat on a desk that appeared from nowhere was sulking because she never did get a suitable isekaied reaction from us.. I think.

"Is it possible that I ask for any?" Liliath confirmed.

"Yup."

"Seduction."

"No Liliath.. Please."

Okay. didn't expect that from her. Not at all. You know what? I heard nothing.

"We're still underaged LIliath.." I continued.

So does this mean I can be with Liliath now? She can marry me now? Is this official?

"Mu.." Liliath pouted and hugged me even tighter. She even started fiddling around with my horns.. hey that tickles.

"How do you hide this?," I grab hold of the hand caressing my horns..

"It should disappear at a thought," Liliath said bluntly as she entangled her fingers around mine.

"You know, I'm becoming blind seeing you two like this. Can you empathize with all those single men in the world, please?" Unknown said, putting on a sun glass.

"Liliath, can you um.. sit here," I patted the side of the sofa. I guess it's a good idea to separate from her. Her body feels nice, no doubt about it, then again..

"I'll decline, you're more comfortable," Liliath buried her face at my neck. Ticklish!

Ah fuck.. she's being so sensual its stimulating. Send help.

"Okay okay. So what unique skill do you want?" I asked, trying to stay sane.

"Anything that allows me to continue to be by your side."

"In that case, how about a second private dimension that you manage. You can farm, build houses and create basically anything. It's a typical cliche skill you see in more unrealistic isekais," Unknown asked, blowing out coffee steam from his mouth. Okay, I swear that's a coffee cigarette.

"How about the skill to determine the location of any individual where by I do not need to make first contact to determine their whereabouts," Liliath said.

"Something like Wake's skill?"

"I believe I would prefer an advanced version of that. Example being the ability to trace the movements of demon lord Javiel despite not meeting him so we can avoid crossing paths."

"That's a good idea. Then I'll just drop that in Noel's widget too," Unknown said and brought up his UI.

"Seriously? Isn't that way too.."

You know what. Nevermind.

"So Liliath's skill will be [God's eye], good," Unknown said.

"Oh, looks like Prune and Nine would arrive at the same time," Bleu stood up all of a sudden.

"Oh, then I've relocated the docking zone so it should make a better impression," Unknown said then tossed his UI to Bleu.

Bleu skimmed through the info before saying, "I appreciated that," Bleu said, and space distorted around us.

Liliath and I met each other's eyes, and grasping each other's intent, we nodded. Honestly, who wouldn't want to witness their reactions?

""Alright.""

Even our choice of words were in sync.

Nine and Prune opened their eyes.

A white expanse spread out in front of them. Pillars as high as one could see, elixir flowing around them like a small stream. A goddess stood in front of them, wearing an elegant white dress, her shoulders exposed, eyes shone like the sun with cerulean hair that rivalled even the bluest skies.

"Greetings," her voice rang like a silver bell. Prune looked at her in a daze, Nine blinked a few times.

"O heroes, you have been summoned to defeat.."

Nine raised his hands to interject her words.

"Yes, chosen ones?" Bleu asked with a motherly smile.

"Are you Bleu?"

"Yes, that is what they call me."

"So we died?" Prune asked, some doubt in her voice.

"Yes, that is so. It was an unfortunate accident caused by us Gods," That's actually pretty cruel because she's pushing the blame to the gods under her who did nothing of sorts. I'm seeing another side of Bleu and I think that's pretty scary in itself.

"I don't get this crap. What's going on? Where's Noel and Liliath? Why are you standing on a stool, I can see your panties from this angle," Nine cursed.

"They have been reincarnated into the world we would refer to as Imagi. Just as you two will be too. And to answer the latter question, I am unfortunately not wearing anything underneath," Bleu got down from the golden stool with a refined elegance.

"What the.. so we actually died?"

Prune who was shaking crawled towards Nine and whispered something into her ears. She nodded a few times before their roles were reversed with Nine whispering something to Prune.

Bleu's eyes twitched as she read some of Nine's inner monologue. .. I think?

"You will be reincarnated as not an infant, but in your current age."

"Okay, let me get this straight. I know for a fact that the Bleu Noel talked about before is for one, a true motherly goddess, but two, casual and not super aristocratic and three, has a goddess-tier. So can you speak normally?" Nine asked.

Bleu popped a vein.

"Who are you calling ugly!"

"Clam down, miss goddess and answer our questions, the ones that killed us. They're our future self, correct?"

"Yes."

Wow. Nine sure is being brutal today, roasting Bleu on a charcoal grill as if there's no tomorrow. Also.. they were killed by themselves? I wonder what that means.

"And they also went through this situation right now, yes? They've been through this Imagi world and came back. So they're the us that returned after killing off the demon lord."

"Though I'm pissed by your attitude, but yes, you're quick to the taking." Bleu clenched her fist, blowing steam from her head.

"Anything you want to ask Prune?" Nine turned to Prune who kept pinching her arms.

Prune paused a moment, her hasy eyes regained focus as she directed her gaze towards Bleu.

"What would happen to us?" her weak voice riddled with concern. Even I felt a little pain in my heart when I heard that voice.

True, what exactly would happen to us.. Prune and Nine were to put it-- dragged into this mess. Or would their participation have a big influence on this evolution quest isekai development?

"Prune my child, you'll be alright. Fight on, you will definitely be able to see your parents again."

"Hm.. suspicious, suspicious," Nine sat crossed legged with a finger to her chin as she pondered about something. "Prune, can you come here for a second."
