Despite her resolve, Clarith found that she was frozen with hesitation as more coherent thoughts crept into her mind, filling her with doubt. What was the point of all this? Yes, it would carry out the mission that the rebels in Lucifenia unknowingly failed at, but then what? It wouldn't bring anyone back to life – not the innocents she executed, not the people of Yatsuki, and certainly not Michaela. Even if she killed Riliane, nothing would change. Clarith would still be all alone. Her hands shook as she tried to regain her wits and focus on her task. Was she really this weak? Was she really so weak that she couldn't bring herself to k

When confronted with a scenario she did not like, Riliane's first reaction was to kill everyone that had displeased her. The problem was that, while she had a vague idea of what Michaela looked like, she had fled the scene too fast to be captured, and no one was willing to tell Riliane who exactly she was. She then made a very simple order: Elphegort was to be utterly destroyed, and every green-haired woman residing in it was to be captured and executed. That way, she could be sure that the right girl died. As for the others that weren't her… Well, who cared? They all should have gone and dyed their hair black or something the moment t

By the end of the week, the two had left Yatsuki without a word, packing only food, money, and a few essential clothes and tools. Most of the trip was done on foot, taking up an entire day. Still, it was worth it to finally be free of the life of pain Clarith had known, and she and Michaela passed the time by telling each other stories and making plans for what they'd do when they reached the capital. The next day, they found the road leading to the city, and they encountered a woodcrafter who was heading there on a horse-drawn wagon to sell his goods. He allowed the two girls to hitch a ride, and by late afternoon, they were in Aceid City. T

Even with their limited knowledge on human relationships, the spirits of the Eldoh Forest knew when people did things that weren't right. They understood that when Duke Venomania brainwashed dozens of women and forced them into his harem, as well as when the former warlord Conchita treated those around her not as human beings, but as delicious meals. They knew that the current poverty in Lucifenia was caused by the selfish Riliane who always got her way, while in Marlon, the former queen Prim was using her children Ney and Kyle as tools to carry out a takeover of the other kingdoms. Right within the backyard of the forest, though, even more c

It wasn't really unusual for Kiyoteru to be cooped up indoors on such a beautiful Sunday. While he had very few students, and even fewer of them with any significant amount of assignments, it just meant that he had more time to analyze what work they did turn in much closer and give them all much more personalized education than they could get in a large class size. It didn't help that a few, mainly the Kagamine twins, tended to procrastinate on even the little assignments, then turning it all in a flood of work. Sooner or later, he was going to have a make a zero-tolerance rule on late work just for them… To him, it was better that he
