Chapter 71 Yandere?
"You slut, turning this into a training session just to alleviate your guilt, huh?" Dantalian spoke while pressing Fiona\'s hands against the ground.
"Hehehe, it seems you\'ve figured it out... Sorry, I\'ll hold back my strength, I promise," Fiona said, looking around. "If you\'re still interested in this ogre, how about some compensation?"
Dantalian stared directly into Fiona\'s eyes and said, "How much is your owner\'s life worth? Tell me."
"Fine... There\'s nothing I can do. I accept my fate. Do as you please," Fiona replied, closing her eyes.
"Hahaha, what are you doing?"
"Huh? Aren\'t you angry?" Fiona asked.
"To be honest, it\'s impossible to describe what I felt, but it was the first time I enjoyed fighting, and we got carried away," Dantalian said, sighing. "My Owner... You\'re so foolish," Fiona said, looking at Dantalian with disdain.
"Yeah, I know... I hate this side of me too," Dantalian sighed. "But while I was chasing after you, I actually thought about it, and it was good to discover my current limits."
"I don\'t even know how to react to that... You\'re truly bizarre, and that\'s why I love you," Fiona said, easily freeing herself from Dantalian\'s grasp and kissing him. After the kiss, Fiona sighed and looked at Dantalian, saying, "In the end, I need to train on how to be weak. Could you be my teacher?"
"You deserve a good spanking, that\'s what you deserve," Dantalian said, looking at Fiona without showing any reaction.
"Alright, alright. Well, now we better head back to the arena. After all, we left our little pet there," Fiona released Dantalian and turned towards the castle. "Should\'ve gone to another place to climb all this."
Hearing this, Dantalian looked around, searching for a part of the Great Mother. A trunk from the Great Mother quickly descended, gently touching the ground in front of them.
"So, you could have done that from the beginning?" Fiona asked, only to see the words "I only help you because you saved the kingdom, but I won\'t tolerate anything related to playing" forming on the tree trunk she was about to climb.
"You see, Dantalian? It\'s better not to play around anymore. You really are an idiot... Let\'s go, Great Mother, leave him here," Fiona said, clasping her hands together and smiling at Dantalian as the tree carried her flying towards the castle.
When Dantalian could no longer see any sign of Fiona in his view, he smiled and sighed in relief Listening to the shrill voice in his head
[What the hell happened here? Why were you pretending to be crazy and why didn\'t you pay attention to what I said?]
Dantalian began climbing the staircase while taking this time to speak to the entity.
\' I wasn\'t completely pretending because we can say that the kick shut down my logical thinking for a few seconds. \'
[Do you have an on/off button on your face or something?]
\' Seeing your death is not very pleasant, especially considering that it won\'t be the last time I train with her... \'
[Okay... I didn\'t quite understand, but was that why you chased after her?]
\' Not at that moment. I had already vented all my anger and realized it would be a great opportunity to advance things with Fiona since I can\'t defeat her yet. \'
[In the end, you\'re the one to blame for giving her more power.]
Dantalian shrugged. \' I simply gave more power to a woman. What\'s wrong with that? \'
\' But now that I\'ve answered your question, what was it that we were talking about? While I was focused on this event? \'
[About that, did you do something that strengthened Anna\'s inner demon? She won\'t just be a sadist anymore; she\'ll become a yandere type. Hahaha, well done dealing with her, and our little conversation consumed quite some time, didn\'t it?]
"Oh fuck, great mother, please take me to the castle urgently."
Two seconds after Dantalian spoke, a large tree trunk landed in front of him, carrying him flying towards the castle\'s entrance.
\'Anna, Anna, be a good girl. If you try to get rid of your rivals, you\'ll end up in trouble,\' Dantalian thought.
Two minutes had passed, and when he finally arrived in front of the castle, he activated the divine hand, covering his eyes, and jumped in front of the door. He looked around, but nothing strange seemed to be happening. Freytan was still sleeping peacefully, and Amanda was lying next to him. Fiona was taking a bath.
\' Hmm, strange... Echidna and Anna are sitting next to each other, but their energy levels seem normal. If she really were a yandere heroine, their energies should be chaotic,\' Dantalian thought as he entered the castle. He was greeted by one of the elven maids.
"Welcome back, and don\'t worry, we\'ve already heard everything about the incident. You can go talk to Miss Anna freely."
\' So, it\'s going to be like that?\' Dantalian thought, holding the maid\'s hand and smiling as he followed her.
"Are you sure this is the right way?" Dantalian asked.
"Of course, you\'ve been here before, haven\'t you?" the maid replied, stopping in front of Anna\'s room and saying, "Miss, Mr. Dantalian has arrived."
The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard, and Anna rushed out of the room, jumping onto Dantalian and wrapping her legs around his body. Her eyes were teary.
"Master Dantalian, what do I do now?" Anna asked, gripping his shoulder, her disheveled hair falling in front of her eyes, and trembling as she clung to him.
"What\'s wrong? What happened, Miss Anna?" Dantalian asked.
\'What is this? Her energy seems normal considering her current state, but what was that the entity said? Was it a lie?\'
Anna sobbed and turned to Echidna, saying, "Tell him... I can\'t... I can\'t..."
Anna rested her head on Dantalian\'s shoulder, closing her eyes.
"Mr. Dantalian, first of all, what I\'m about to say is complicated," Echidna said, rubbing her forehead.
The maid, who had remained still and silent, turned around and said, "If you need anything, just call for us, masters" After that, she walked straight down the corridor in the opposite direction from where she came with Dantalian.
Returning a few minutes back in time while they were still in Echidna\'s room,
At the same time that Dantalian was chasing Fiona, Anna\'s legs began to tremble, and in a few moments, she would lose all her strength, falling to her knees on the floor.
"It\'s impossible! I can\'t be like Miss Fiona. What should I do? Echidna? My anger will kill me." The tears kept flowing.
\' So that\'s why she was acting strange. \' Echidna crouched down, placing her hand on Anna\'s head, but before she could say anything, Anna intervened.
"There\'s nothing to say. I\'m useless... I can\'t even stay out of my room... Did you know I sent the entire cleaning crew there?"
"Not even Mr. Dantalian could clean that room, you know? You\'re just doing what a princess would do." Echidna tried to say the best thing that came to her mind to calm down this little thing.
"But the arena... I can\'t tell Master Dantalian to fix or pay for it. It would be disrespectful since they didn\'t do it on purpose," Anna said, looking at Echidna.
"The castle has protective magic on the walls, right? And nobody should go around painting history or putting valuable things in a place where they shouldn\'t, like an arena, you know?" Echidna took both of Anna\'s hands, lifting her up, and then let go, holding her cheeks. "You have to tell your father that, and also... What if your future son-in-law was strong enough to surpass the defense magic?"
Anna sobbed and wiped her tears. "I\'ll still get scolded for that, but I don\'t care. And if anything, I\'ll help fix that arena myself and find the painter... But what should I do about Master Dantalian?"
The sound of someone knocking on the door was heard, and the voices of some maids spoke, "The princess\'s room will still have a slight strange smell, but her normal perfume will be enough to cover it. You can go back to your room without any problems."
Now returning to the present,
"So that\'s what happened," Echidna said, getting up from the bed.
"Hmm, so those crude drawings on the wall were something that important?" Dantalian spoke, stroking Anna\'s head and quickly looking at her.
Echidna brought her hand to Dantalian\'s mouth, saying, "Don\'t say that, Mr. Dantalian. She\'s already troubled, and if someone hears that, it could make things worse."
Dantalian sighed as the warm air hit Echidna\'s hand. She immediately realized what she had done and moved back, saying, "Sorry, sorry."
"No need to be like that. After all, you\'re the daughter of the duchess. But ignoring that factor, it seems like the solution you gave her is already great," Dantalian said, lifting Anna off his lap and placing her gently on the bed.
"Are you sure? I just said what came to mind to calm her down."
"Of course, and if needed, I\'ll come back here to take responsibility."
\'Because they would never ask for it,\' Dantalian thought.
Dantalian got up from the bed, extending his hand to Echidna and said, "We should leave here and let her sleep. And Miss Echidna, it seems like you\'re going through some troubles as well. Would you like to talk about it?"
Echidna, looking at Dantalian, felt a slight discomfort and said, "Me? What are you talking about? But if you want to talk, we can do it later because now that this is settled, I need to take care of something."
"Alright, we\'ll talk later then," Dantalian said and left the room first, distancing himself and heading towards his own room.
With the divine hand still activated, he brought it to his ear, focusing on Anna\'s room. He heard nothing but Anna\'s sleeping breaths, so he deactivated it and continued walking towards his room. \'Is that painting something important? Don\'t lie to me, Anna.\'
