Chapter 9

"Imoto-chan..," Megumin passed out before the event. In her sleep, she saw a person right in front of her, saying a mantra. She got too curious, so she try to get near the man. That person got louder every time she goes near to him. All of the sudden, the person she went near turns his head. Megumin freaks out and went backward. But, that man went much more further to her. Megumin gets more afraid and rushes away, yet that man grabs at her back. She twist her body but couldn't escape. Then, she saw a knife, where the man holds it. The man puts the knife on her neck, tells her something. She didn't even understand a word from him.

"Mister, I don't even understand what you're saying," said Megumin. The man starts cutting her neck slowly as she screams in pain, looking for help. After that, she lies down with her neck bleeding out. The man goes to her ears and said the word 'Josho' on her ears. She wakes up, realizing that she's left alone.

Meanwhile, I and the others try to think of how to take down that beast, while watching this town destroyed. "Kazuto, how's Megumin?"

"Ah, about that," said Kazuto.

"Wait, where's Megumin?" I said.

"Lilia,"

"It was you who keep an eye on her," said Lilia. They cannot be relied on. Useless. In a trice, I feel something weird, more like a battle aura. I tried to search somewhere and I found Megumin flying in the sky. I'd call her but she didn't hear me. Then, I see her aura begins to burst out. The beast moves towards her position to kill her because it smells her aura. It found out that she's delicious with her aura. The beast grabs her as it begins its feast. I rush to save her but it's too late. The beast just ate her by crushing Megumin, and with all the blood gushing out her bones break. Thenceforth, it ate her, and it chewed her. I go insanely as I thought I lost my late father's daughter. So, without thinking about myself, I encounter that filthy beast who ate my sister. Unfortunately, it bashes me until I hit the buildings. I barely can't move but try to stand up. My mouth keeps bleeding as I stand, yet I still wanted to kill that beast.

Then, the light suddenly shines inside of the beast's stomach. The beast went weak as the light permeated his life, followed by a strong aura that I can feel. Afterward, the beast's stomach starts to explode, and it explodes, I saw Megumin, but she seems different than recently saw.

She pulls out her sword that doesn't see her scabbard at all. Megumin in my description, where's a white robe with shiny armor, shoulder pads, where's a hood and merciless, represent her role as an assassin. Fortunately, she is. Her beauty became more perfect as she looks at me. My nose suddenly bled, but I covered that.

Moreover, she didn't smile. I felt disgraceful that I can't save her in time. She starts her move, but she already kills the beast with ease. I got surprised, and so were the others. Then, she looks at Yui's eye and went there. She turns her ordinary form and heals Yui's eye as it looks hopeless to save it. After that, she returns to her sleep. I went speechless, while Kazuto and Lilia whispered to each other, could they know what's happened. I make a afford to speak to her, and she did reply. "Thank god, You're okay," My eye starts reduced to tears when she still barely can speak once again. She smiles at me that she, victoriously, save this town.

A few moments later, we sent Yui to the hospital if she's hurt, still, she's fine. Meanwhile, I called Takashi to come here to discuss his father more deeply to understand and prepare sooner or later. I went to see Chunami, hoping if she's also okay. "Mom, may I come in?"

"Sure, come in dear," said Chunami. As I open the door, I saw Chunami is in bad condition, yet she feels fine.

"You're not fine at all!" I said loudly.

"At least, your sister is okay," she got that point. Even though looks terrible, but her child doesn't. Later, Takashi waited for me outside.

I tell him a lot of things happen lately and he also knew it. " So, why you didn't help us?"

"He's compelling. But, I saw your sister," he said.

"Yeah, she just did that,"

"No, someone did. The woman that you saw isn't your sister,"

"Wait, hold up. What do you mean that is not even my sister," I asked.

"Some legends say that if you died, you're life will resuscitate by someone,"

"You mean, an assistant, just like Chunami?" Then, Chunami turns her head towards us.

"Sort of," said Takashi.

"Eh?" I got confused. "Sort of?"

"Similar to her, but far more different," he explained.

"Hey, guys, what's the dating plan?" Lilia and Kazuto said, all out of nowhere. Then my face began turning red as I blush too hard. So do Takashi.

" What's wrong over there, peekers?" said Aiko. Both of them freaks out and apologies to Aiko. Aiko is known as the streakiest woman I know. She even bows down a former Demon lord, which is Lilia.

After everything settled, I check on my sister. " You just like my mother, though," Megumin said.

"I'm your sister, of course, I should be concerned about you,"

"I don't know what's happened to me,"

"There's nothing to worry about. Everything happened just forget it. At least you're okay,"

"I had nightmares, but I don't remember," said Megumin. Maybe, that's the factor of how she became merciless and fearless just now.

(Meanwhile outside of the hospital)

"See... it wasn't me," said Arioch. Andras gets more confused.

"Who the f**k did then?"

"I suspected Takashi's father. It's very clear that he did those,"

"You mean, he controlled that widow?" said Andras.

"So who?"

They keep discussing it while wearing beach outfits. Suddenly, Megumin turns her head towards them, and both of them hide their head. "Bruh, we should get out of here," said Andras. So, they moved out.
