Convenience

Sometimes there are things that never turn out as one might wish, good, bad, coincidence? Such things are non-existent, to take the destiny of your life and guide it to your liking is the privilege of the strong, those who have the power to bend their environment and seek their path.

But what happens when an entity outside this universe enters and intervenes in the natural course? An anomaly, something that shouldn't exist, an answer to a question that normally can't be answered. 

But... 

Fate follows its path Can you escape its Law?  Break the chains of the soul that imprison you in this universe Can you break the chains of a universe destined to die? 

57 entities, 57 lights, 57 lighted flames that sustain the existence of the whole, as long as one remains lit the destiny of the universe can be changed, but the moment all the flames go out...

Existence will lose its meaning

***

We moved away from Finrad City after Zen has approached us although personally I have no reason to refuse so I decided to accept his invitation without hesitation, however if I look back to where the battle occurred until a moment ago against that thing, there is a huge crater on the outskirts of Finrad City, has several meters in diameter and luckily I can not feel energy coming from it nor is there any sound that gives signs of life? personally I hope that thing has been exterminated.

Although my body is considerably exhausted I can still stand and walk normally, but I still don't understand what kind of entity that humanoid shaped robot could be, it identified itself as Trix a recon Kage, I mean are there things much stronger than that? Although I had to fight without Aqua, I was defeated almost unilaterally, but if I think about it a little, the moment I used energy the exchange started to even out, however that cannon he used was as if it disintegrated everything it touched, however I think I could fight that kind of Kage alone if I had all my resources, but if what I think is right, there are much stronger things....

I sigh involuntarily 

-What's wrong?

Lilith asks, still clinging to me like I'm a koala bear. 

-She must be tired of having you on top of her ♥.

Although Aisha is constantly arguing with Lilith I think they get along quite well, even if they have known each other for a very short time.

-Ah? He's more likely to be tired of putting up with your slutty smell ♥

-Ah?!

-Ya, ya, ya Calm down

Anastasia I stepped in to try to calm the mood, it's a bit strange the relationship with Anastasia, I've known her almost the same time as Aisha, although, yeah, it's only hours....

Maybe, seeing 3 demons suddenly made her curious about us and that's why she is actively following us, though personally I wouldn't mind if she decided to follow us after this 

We are currently walking towards a mansion on the outskirts of the city, according to Zen, her lord, Hervast, spends most of his time in that mansion resting. 

Was Aisha right? 

After walking for a few minutes through the green meadow that stretched around us, I could see an abnormally large hill.

-Are you on his side?

Aisha asks 

Anastasia looks at me with an expression as if she doesn't understand what Aisha is saying.

  -I just don't want them to argue unnecessarily, especially for Lucas, he's the most hurt of all, they annoy him.

Although it's not particularly annoying to listen to them, I appreciate Anastasia's intentions.

-As long as they don't physically fight let them do whatever they want to do

I said without thinking too much, as long as no real harm is done, I don't think it's wrong to exchange.

-Lucas said

Aisha was the first one to speak, she had a smile on her face while she looked at Lilith. 

-Stop talking, Lucas must be tired.

-If he is tired you should get off and not bother him.

-More your slutty voice must bother him ♥

Lilith started smiling as she pulled her body even closer to mine. 

-Is that so? I think it should bother him that you disappeared the vast majority of women who approached him.

-What are you saying?

For a moment Lilith's face tightened as she saw Aisha's smile. 

-Did you think you could keep it a secret?

-...

Lilith didn't answer 

-Especially with the women Lucas had occasional encounters with, you know the kind, don't you?

-That... they just had unexpected accidents.

-Your answer is not credible

Aisha pointed at Lilith

Lilith turned her gaze towards me as if she expected to hear some answer from me. 

-I don't think it will have any effect on the events that are happening now.

Maybe a year ago I would have questioned it but now it is simply not something that calls my interest, even so my morality changed to some extent. 

-Really, these girls can't be quiet.

Anastasia said as she looked disapprovingly at the two women. 

-I don't think I will change that in the future. 

I said in response to Anastasia's words, Lilith looked at me astonished while Aisha looked annoyed. 

The one who spoke was Zen 

-We are arriving

The moment we went up the hill, a big mansion came into view.

-It's big

Said Anastasia muttering 

-This is the residence of the lord of Finrad City.

Zen resumed his pace 

The mansion was as big as an 11-a-side soccer field, it has a white color, it seemed to be built with stone and marble but the most amazing thing of all is the orchard in the front of the mansion, all kinds of crops were in the process of growth

-My mansion is bigger

Lilith said after turning her gaze towards the mansion. 

-That is correct

Aisha answered, but Lilith frowned before turning her gaze back to Aisha. 

-You disgust me

For a moment Aisha's expression distorted in annoyance but quickly returned to normal. 

-Having an attitude like that Are you enough for this one with Lucas?

-I am, because he loves me

Lilith smiles satisfied and rests her head on my shoulder. 

-Besides, I don't care about you, you're like an insect, unlike a certain Elf who has white hair and golden eyes.

-Eh? Me?

Anastasia was surprised to have been suddenly described by Lilith. 

-You... you haven't said your intentions yet, you're just accompanying us, but what will you do after all this?

-I... I don't know....

Anastasia frowned, placed one of her hands on his cheek and tilted her head slightly. 

-She's trying to flirt with Lucas....

Aisha murmurs after seeing Anastasia's gesture. 

-That's it! That innocent attitude doesn't go with your sinful body! You perverted elf!

Lilith said forcefully 

-P--perverted elf?

Anastasia is stunned by Lilith's sudden statement. 

-You are! Placing a hand on your cheek and then tilting her head slightly, you definitely smiled at the end!

-What the hell are you saying!

It seems that Anastasia is also falling for Lilith's games, I don't know whether to feel worried or just laugh. 

-Perverted elf!

-Stop that!

Anastasia's long ears began to turn crimson red and gradually spread to her face. 

-Even she is not saved....

Aisha let out an almost inaudible murmur. 

Yes... I better ignore all this, after thinking that, I turned my attention to Zen, we were walking along a path that crossed the orchard in front of the mansion, it seemed well kept, although I could not see any gardener in the surroundings and only a faint presence was inside the mansion. 

The girls were still talking to each other, but my attention was on the mansion in front of me. 

Zen turned around and spoke

-This is my lord's residence, please be respectful. 

-I understand

I replied

-That will depend on what kind of people it is.

Lilith said still on top of me 

Aisha and Anastasia nodded without problems. 

Zen looked at Lilith and then sighed resignedly, he seemed to know who Lilith was. 

-I understand

Zen said before turning around and resuming his walk towards the mansion's doors, they were made of wood and as tall as a 3-story building.

Are they really necessary?

Zen opened the doors wide and in front of us a large reception hall appeared, there were pillars that rose high and supported the roof of the mansion, if I looked around, there were pedestals that held large Olympic torches, candelabras and all kinds of sculptures. 

I was honestly impressed, it was similar to being in a museum. 

-Please follow me

Zen speaks before starting to walk 

He turned his gaze to Aisha looking surprised but with a more neutral expression, however Anastasia was totally amazed with what she was looking at, I could almost see the sparkle in her eyes. 

I turned my gaze back to Zen and resumed walking.

After a short walk, at the end of the hall there was a kind of chair carved in stone. 

-My lord, I have brought them

Zen knelt down in front of the stone carved chair, for a moment I doubted what I was seeing but instantly a voice came back in response.

-Thank you Zen

It was the voice of an adult in his late 70's, but there was no one in that place.

-Be it your will

It is curious that he is talking to a stone sculpture.

Zen stood up and took a step backwards.

-Lucas V Leviathan

-Hervast Correct?

-That's right.

So that stone is the lord of Finrad City... yes, I don't understand...

I turned my gaze to Zen trying to find some logic in this... 

But it was the stone itself who answered 

-I need your help

-What do you want it for?

It was Lilith who answered, she had released me and was standing next to me. 

-Lilith Leviathan, Daughter of Luna Leviathan.

-Right

I intervened

-Speak plainly

The stone that is supposed to be Hervast suddenly seems to laugh but almost instantly the air around him changed. 

-I want you to defeat a basilisk, as a reward, I will fulfill any request you wish.

Said that stone 

-It all makes sense

Lilith said. 

-What is it?

-It's succumbing to the basilisk's curse.

Lilith answered, pointing at the stone in front of us.

Then... it's not enough 

-I'll do it, but I have two conditions

-tell them to me

Replied Hervast 

-You will let me use the rift that your family runs to go anywhere I wish.

-What is the second one?

Asked Hervast

-Besides I want you to be my backup

I said with a smile 

-Your life depends on this and apparently you are not in a good situation, considering that you are asking for my help, someone external, either your family refused or you don't want to show weakness.

-...

When I didn't receive an answer I continued speaking 

-You are not very strong, but you are smart, at least that's what I have heard, so decide, I can help you but you must become my backup and help me when I need it

I'm just an ant in this big supernatural world, I'm not strong enough to fend for myself, the situation in hell is complicated, the best thing would be to find another backup, maybe I could have handled the situation in a different way but I don't like to waste my time. 

After a few seconds Hervast answered 

-I accept

-It will be a pleasure to work with you

I answered while I turned my gaze to Lilith. 

-Maybe it's convenient, but it's what you need right now.

Lilith said as she gently hugged me 

-You have two weeks

Hervast spoke 

-I understand, I guess you will die if it goes beyond that time.

-...

Hervast did not answer 

-How annoying all that

said Aisha as she looked at Hervast. 

-You are not obliged to follow me

I answered 

But the one who answered was Anastasia 

-I want to go, it sounds interesting

-Eeeh...

Aisha sighs and turns her gaze to me. 

-The Harem is on the move Yeii

Aisha raised her fist in the air with a little jump while smiling. 

-Stay still bitch

Before Aisha could answer Hervast intervened. 

-Zen, give them rooms, they have to recover.

-Understood

Zen turned around and turned his gaze towards us. 

-Please follow me

- 3 rooms please!

Says Lilith and Zen nods his head in response. 

Lilith licked her lips as she looked at me. 

I don't want to ask
