Trap After A Trap 2

[A/N : I apologize for uploading this chapter late. I was too focused on making chapter about my other novel that I've forgotten to post this one.]

After Deus finished showering, he put on some casual clothes before leaving his room. As soon as he locked the door behind him, Deus followed Arthur's instructions earlier and went to the entrance without hurrying.

By the time he managed to reach them, Deus noticed some familiar faces at the distance... 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦? His face suddenly stiffened when he saw Athena, Chloe and Arthur wearing some disguise as they talk to some familiar face at the distance.

𝘓𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯... 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘳'𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦? Asking this question to himself, Deus clicked his tongue as well as he fastened the pase of his walk.

According to Athan's memory, after her little brother, the one that had been going too far on bullying Athena, and her family passed away as soon as the tournament finished because of the assassination their older brother had planned, Lilian then decided to take revenge on him.

She and Arthur will have to face each other first during the tournament before they come to know each other after losing badly to her in a second. Since Lilian was already his senior and a proud magic swordman, Arthur decided to give her a chance by only using sword and beginner Gravity magic like Impact, Pressure bullet, and many other skills that he mastered.

After the fight finished in a mere second, the Council President, Lilian, will call Arthur to the Council and ask for his help.

Deus knows that inside those serious and indifferent facade, Lilian was selflessly naive little girl for trying to take her revenge in the most peaceful way as possible, still hoping for her older brother, Michael, to give himself up. But at the end of the day, she was forced to kill him when her older brother tries to stab her at the back.

Nonetheless, after their deaths, Lilian became depressed because of their death, thinking that she'll be the only successor of her beloved family.

Soon after this, our little protagonist, Arthur, will come to her during her darkest moment to save the day. After tasting despair consecutively like that... The stimulus itself wasn't wrong, it was too much for the current her.

The death of her brother was already a big problem, and then, it added all of her family. You want local level despair, not despair with no hope of your grit, determination, and preparation. The author could have arranged a little stimulus later on the story. But noooo, the author decided to completely break her heroic and justice conviction down completely and made Arthur talk to her in support when she was in her most vulnerable self.

To make things shorter, Lilian's personality became slightly twisted and yandere at this point.

[A/N : One of the few things I've learned after reading too much yandere novels is how to create a yandere. Just break him/her and support him/her in time in need.]

"I guess none of these are my concern anyway-"

"There's no way... Try crossdress... Athan!" Before he could even finish his sentence, he heard Athena's voice from the distance.

"I would... Athan... Crossdress... Win!" Although the sentences he heard was faint, he managed to grasp a few words from their talks.

"Athan... Crossdress...?" Deus' jaw dropped. He was in a constant shock after what he just heard. Was Arthur planning to force him to enter some pageant that requires crossdress? He wasn't sure.

𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵! crossdress!? 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯'𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺... 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘈𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯? While Deus was pondering about what was currently happening, in a somehow childish tone, someone suddenly called out to him.

"Brother!" He saw his- Athan's little sister, Chloe, making her way towards him in a hurry. Deus began to panic at this point.

When she reached him, Chloe pounced him on the arm and shouted, "My brother is here, Arthur!"

"Ah!" Turning around, when Arthur saw Athan (Deus) being pulled towards their direction, he had a hard time preventing himself from laughing.

A few moments later....

"There's no freaking way I'll wear a fucking maid uniform to spy on her brother!" Flustered, Deus shouted as he grabbed ahold of his clothes before Arthur was able to remove them.

A couple of minutes earlier, Arthur and Lilian told everything to Deus, and asked him to pretend to be her brother's maid to infiltrate and find out what was her big brother was planning to do.

As of now, Deus had been trying his best to refuse, but the two; Arthur and Lilian, had been refusing his refusal.

"Chloe, you are our only hope. Please go talk to your brother about this." Arthur whispered to Chloe, and she nodded and placed both of her hand to her chest as a reply.

"Brother..."

Deus was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered what Athan had said to him.

'If for some reason my consciousness was away, you had the task to do everything to protect my sister and do whatever she ask for no matter how ridiculous it is, got it?'

𝘏𝘢𝘢𝘢.... 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘈𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯? 𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘮 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 '𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦'. Soon after, he was led into a room.

Right now, Deus could only think of one thing...

Make sure that Athan suffer more humiliation after he gets back.

𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘯𝘦? Deus grinned, looking at the maid clothes he was holding as he looked at these clothes and himself simultaneously before letting out an evil laugh.

"To be the best girl, you'll have to be the best man as well..." He kept on mumbling this to himself nonstop as he continued to put on the maid uniform and tried to change his body using his Stigma into a more feminine by adding boobs and expanded his lower.

But before he could even remove some of his clothes, Athena stood up from her hiding place and crossed his arms.

"You... are you a Reincarnation just like us?"

"..."

Deus promptly turned around when he heard her question.

𝘚𝘰... 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳... Deus thought.

"Hmm... How did you know?"

"Arthur and I already have suspicion about who you are the moment you suddenly changed. And not only that, I know Athan more than anything else." She glared at him and took out her short sword from it's scabbard that was tied on her waist.

"First of all, Athan became an introverte and loved animes after some incident back in our previous life. But before living like that, he used to do crazy things..." She momentarily stopped for a second before continuing.

"If you didn't know, there was actually one time back in our previous life that he took things a little too far after some girls decided to speak ill about some 'girl'. I wasn't sure at first on why he was pissed off about it not until I found out the real reason why. Anyway, continuing the story, he once said to the girls who were speaking ill about his 'ex-girlfriend' that he'll still their hearts... In the end, he really did still their hearts after making them fall asleep by slipping some sleeping pills in their desserts, and thus, operating them in his lab like lab rats."

"What's worse is that those four dumb people woke up during the operation. With a wicked laugh, Athan showed them their hearts in front of their faces..."

Hearing this, Deus blinked his eyes a few times before saying, "Uh... What does that have to do with your suspicion...? Also, that doesn't sound like him at all."

𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘯, 𝘐 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘬𝘺 𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴... Athena didn't speak her thoughts out loud and merely gave Deus a shrug, before once again placed her thumb at the button she was holding.

"Also, there's literally no way that he'll try and cosplay a girl. Thanks to my question earlier, I managed to confirm my suspicion that you're not him." She spoke with coldness and indifferent expression, "Depending on your answer, I'll have Arthur to kill you, and find him ourselves."

Sighing, Deus shaked his head lightly and spoke up, "...Seriously though, you can't confirm your suspicion just by those facts. You need to give me more proof to prove your suspicion towards me." The side of his lips curled up into a smirk.

Athena's expression remained the same. She was looking at Deus, thinking about how Deus' brain became underdevelop. Did he really said that after saying things like 'how did you know' just earlier?

"Just tell me where the fuck is the real Athan before I call Arthur."

Seeing the look Athena is giving him, Deus felt insulted for some reason. He was about to give a reply when he suddenly remembered something.

'If someone ever finds out what is happening, you have my permission to use it.' Remembering this sentence, Deus took a deep breath and sighed.

𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴'𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯... 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵. 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸.

Extending his arms, Deus opened up his fist and mumbled something in a somewhat weirdly annoyed tone.

[Code: Rewrite]

As soon as he said these words, a panel reappeared in front of him.

...

Somewhere...

Without even knowing anything about it...

{Ding!}

Deus had accelerated the remaining time to awaken someone or some being from it's long and deep slumber.
