The Most Embarrassing And Shameful Creation Ever
After about a quarter of an hour, Yoko finally stopped.
She threw off Troy on the ground and bent down, allowing me to get off. The poor man was on his knees, a hand grabbing his chest, throwing up his meal.
"Is it here?" I asked, inspecting the surroundings.
"Yeah, he shouldn't be far from here. I can feel his presence…" Yoko responded, as she returned to her human form.
We were in a deeper part of the forest. It wasn't much different from the place we were at just a few moments ago, besides the fact that there was an abnormally high amount of mana leaking everywhere, probably due to the other Mid God. Feeling the mana that wasn't hers, Yoko clicked her tongue.
"That asshole… What is he doing to my forest?" She growled, clearly irritated.
"Y-Your Holiness…" Troy spoke, as he finally managed to pull himself together.
"Are we really meeting another divine being?"
She ignored him.
As a puff of wind swept across the forest, I noticed red petals flying among the leaves.
"Roses? Here?" I said.
"It's him…" Yoko responded with a voice full of anger.
"What do you mean?" I asked, turning my gaze to her.
"This forest did not exist a few decades ago," she explained. "It started to appear once I settled down here, and only grew bigger over time. The environment simply reacted to my mana.
It's the same with him. His only presence here is starting to change the environment at his convenience. There shouldn't be any roses here…"
"Is that so…? But why roses?"
"This bastard just has bad taste."
Eh? O-Ok… Why not… So basically, the other Mid God is changing Yoko's forest to his taste, making it his own. I can understand why she is so upset and why she is so desperate in driving him out. No one would appreciate having a stranger barging into their house and changing it to their convenience. But roses? I don't remember having a Mid God who would want to have roses in-…
…
... Oh no. No, no, no, no, no…This is not good. I do remember. I have a very bad feeling about this… It can't be him… right? There has to be a mistake… I could feel my face paling and cold sweats forming on my forehead.
"Lynett, is something wrong?" Yoko asked as she saw my expression.
I swallowed. "Y-Yoko… Thinking about it… You never clearly told me who the intruder was… Which Mid God is it…?"
"I didn't mention it? It's Harri, the most annoying guy that I know of. You'll want to punch him each time he opens his mouth." She answered.
… I knew it… This is terrible… Of all people, it had to be him…
"We need to go back…" I muttered.
"WHAT?!" Yoko exclaimed. "Why? We came all the way here to kick him out, didn't we? You said you were going to help me!"
"I know, but… I didn't know it was Harri… That changes everything… I can't meet him…"
Troy, who had stayed silent until now, widened his eyes.
"A-Are you not the Goddess of All Creations…?" He asked with a small voice. "Why would you be so scared of him…? Is he that dangerous…?"
I turned my gaze at him. Slowly, I placed my hands on his shoulder, sinking my eyes deep into his, with a serious expression. He stiffened up.
"Listen, Troy." I said. "Trust me; you don't want to meet him either. He is my most evil creation of all time. He is so dangerous that you'll die of a heart attack even before doing anything. He is not someone we can handle. I created him when I went through the worst period of my life… That's how bad the situation is."
As I explained Troy the situation, his face, distorted in fear, kept getting paler and paler. On the other hand, Yoko rolled her eyes, sighing heavily.
"Well, I get what you mean and why you don't want to meet him, but there is no turning back." She said. "I want him out. If you're not going to help, you'll have the death of thousands of innocents on your conscience when I'll stop holding back while dealing with him myself."
Crap… She's serious.
"Ugh… F-Fine…"
Before I could change my mind, Yoko started leading the way, as she had to drag Troy behind, who became unwilling to meet the intruder after hearing my explanations. Slowly, we headed toward the place where Harri's mana was the strongest. The more we approached, the more I became nervous. The unsettling feeling of apprehension kept growing in my chest.
Eventually, we stopped, as the scenery in front of us completely changed. Yoko immediately flinched in horror. I could see the veins forming of her temples as she was biting hard her lower lip. On the other hand, Troy's fear subsided when I saw the scenery. Instead, he squinted his eyes and wrinkled his nose in disbelief.
"This son of a… What the fuck did he do to my forest…?!" Yoko grunted, angrier than ever.
"W-What the hell is wrong with this place…?" Troy asked, as his brain was unable to comprehend the images his eyes discerned.
In front of us, the familiar forest scenery completely disappeared. Instead, there was a vast meadow. My eyes were instantly assaulted by different shades of red and pink colors. Instead of the proud pines, there were blossomed cherry trees standing. Instead of forest floor, covered with leaves and branches, the ground was covered in flower beds. Thousands of roses filled the meadow.
Instead of white clouds, there were cotton candy floating in the sky. There were even some unicorns grazing under the cherry trees.
I feel like throwing up a rainbow…
"Well, well, well. It seems that I have visitors." An unknown voice suddenly called out.
Turning in the direction of the voice, I saw him.
A man who appeared to be in his late twenties was standing there. He had a structural and muscular body, without being too imposing. He had fair skin and a nicely proportioned face. His golden eyes reflected the sunlight and his long, blond hair was silky smooth and braids ran tidily down his back.
He was wearing a royal outfit and a white cape fell from his shoulders. W-Well… I did design him after the Prince Charming…
That's right. This man is my most embarrassing and shameful creation ever.
No matter how hard I tried to forget, I never could. The God of Love and Chivalry, Harri…
Uuuugh…That level of childishness and vacuity is giving me cancer –again.
