Church of Isekai -2 - страница 15

Those (not very nice people) framed us. They have played a joke on us. I wanted 25 sets of clothing – I got them. With the poor murdered people in them. They needed to get rid of Mr Slime and they’ve suspected we somehow are tracking him. They knew he’d call for help and as a failed agent he’d get an extraction. He did. The kids are inconsequential. If we leave their bodies on the floor – we’ve proven ourselves being utterly Evil and they – wise and caring who didn’t trust anything and anyone who came in touch with the Other World. If the bodies disappear – we’re still Evil. Mr. Slime would probably stay with us or not – after that horror, nobody would listen to him and at best he’d spend his days fearing the Smiling Drows in a locked up room. They played a joke on me… They. Played. A. Joke. On. Me. … THEY … PLAYED … A … JOKE … ON… ME! Never. Never. Never. Get. Your. Necromancer. ANGRY!!!

I suddenly heard a voice of our Dragon-friend in my head, “STOP IT!” I came back to my senses and looked around. My audience was sitting in shock looking at me. Whatever they have just seen, wasn’t what I have intended to display. I apologized to everybody and apologized again. I told them about my conclusions and said I want to talk to the Lab Chiefs, Dr Nectar, Shade-Leader, Captain Val, and Dragon Victoria in about an hour. I’m not asking for the Demi-Wolf captain of the Guard because he got his paws filled with the youth group. In fact I wanted to see them train – let’s go now. And sorry again. Most sincerely. I’ll do my best that it doesn’t happen again. The guests are free to mingle.

I walked to the meadow where the demi-kids were being herded by our selfless Captain of the Guard and tried to define them as a “Pack” as I did yesterday to some of them. It turned out to be easier than I expected – when you know what you’re looking for and you’ve done it before, adding the new members to the Pack was a snap. I described what I’ve done to the Captain and apologized to the kids again for being too scary. A Kitty-Boy told me that I was really scary. Almost as scary as the Captain. I repeated “Almost as scary” and smiled at their coach. He looked me in the eyes and shook his head. Yes, we both know who’s scarier. Before I go, I told the kids I’ll play a little game and they’ll be my toys. They looked at me and I’ve taken control of the Pack as one entity and started forcing them to do dance moves. After the initial surprise, they actually laughed and when I released them, wanted to go again. I said that’s enough for now, they have a lesson and their coach is waiting. Little kids thought this is all fun and games. The Demi-Wolf understood it correctly – I can do anything to any of my Zombies and there’s no way out for them. Well I actually like them and need them and I’d never hurt them but it’s probably not easy to know that despite being so mighty he’d be dancing just like those kids if I wanted him to. Maybe I’m overthinking it – he knew I’m a Necromancer before, besides each Soldier obeys a Sargent, a Sargent reports to say a Captain, he to a General, and he to say a King. Maybe the Captain knows his job and expects me to do mine when the time comes to defend the Camp. I’ll just walk away.

Think inside the box Part7

I walked back to the Camp Square where the Gallows used to stand. Strangely enough the ashes and any traces of the all-night party have disappeared. I’ll ask later to make sure, but it looks like the World has certain self-purging features. I found the kid who joked about them having to go back naked and apologized to him specifically. I don’t want him or anyone to think that I totally lost it because of his joke. It’s just it allowed me to understand something I couldn’t get for a while. I’ll talk to them all later. Did the Dragon Victoria come out yet? Oh she did – great. Listen I need to go, I’ll see you all later. Most probably we’ll send you all back by sunset. No, no questions. I’m still trying to figure out a lot of details. No. Sorry I need to go, I’ll come back in about 2 hours. I hope.
