"Bastard!" Benihime shouted, fury written on her face as she inclined her hand close to the brown bag on her waist.
Since she no longer had the abilities she once had, the thought of using the three weapons handed down to her was slowly throwing off her reasoning.
'Should I use it? Do I even know how to wield it?' Benihime battled with herself while she kept a grimace stare at Jira.
Jira sighed, holding Lilith at the back of the neck before he lifted her above the ground. Lilith wailed in pain as Jira's fingers were sinking into her flesh.
"Damn it," Benihime muttered, still feeling conflicted about the next move she should make.
"Come now, don't look at me like that, you brought this up, I wanted peace and you seem like that type who likes violence… " Jira emitted, "I promise I'll let her go if you just show me the item".
"You've been ranting about items, I don't even know what you mean by that." Benihime answered back.
"Oh? You don't?... I see." Jira uttered, "That's too bad".
He lowered Lilith to the ground and used his sword to shatter the chains around her, "You can go." Jira said as he walked toward his throne to sit down.
'He's… letting her go?' Benihime muttered, baffled about the surprising move Jira pulled on her, 'The hell is going on in his head?'.
Lilith immediately stood up from the ground after entangling the chains around her before she ran straight toward Benihime.
As soon as she got close, Lilith fell straight into Benihime's hand. "Lilith, are you okay?" Benihime consoled.
"Yes Milady, I just feel a little worn out." Lilith responded while she was still resting in Benihime's arms.
"Sorry, this is my fault." Benihime muttered to Lilith, she then gazed at Jira who was sitting calmly on his throne.
"Jira, We are l.."
Benihime instantly thrust Lilith to the ground before she took a giant leap back with shock written all over her face.
"Awn, and I was going for the whole sac," Lilith spoke out, standing to her feet with a golden book in her hand.
"Good job Lilith, well done." Jira cheered on his throne while he clapped with loud chuckles escaping his mouth.
Benihime glanced at the small bag around her waist and noticed the inside was gleaming which only happens when something had just been pulled out of it.
Still stunned, Benihime looked at Lilith and asked, "What the hell did you do?".
Lilith replied with a smile on her face, completely wiping out, "Don't look so shocked, milady, I simply did what I thought was proper… if I marry him I can become a demon queen… how could I possibly lose this opportunity".
"What? You would betray your people and believe, for that?! Are you stupid? Do you even realize how powerful what you're holding is?" Benihime yelled, her eyes glowing as her anger rose.
"I know full well what I'm doing?!!!" Lilith yelled back, "I can finally have leverage, all my life it's been Benihime this, Benihime that… even god Odin chose you as his favorite soldier… while I was placed always to follow in your footsteps, welI not anymore, I can finally be powerful and this time get you to watch you feel helpless".
Benihime had a foreshadowed look on her face, as she slowly strolled toward Lilith, "Helpless? Right now… the only thing I'm feeling is pure rage!" She shouted before she launched herself toward Lilith.
[Flashback end]
Benihime stood at the window, observing as Sato and Divanchi walked inside their Carriage and drove off.
She sighed before sitting on her chair and resting her head on the table, "Well, he's gone." Benihime uttered.
"Don't tell me that strong and callous Valkyrie is feeling attached to a man." Akeno teased, walking toward Benihime with a cup of tea with her.
"Shut up Akeno." Benihime mumbled, slightly raising her head to see the cup of tea seated in front of her on the table.
Akeno giggled, "You're so easy to read, well, valkyries are prone to fall in love with people they find amusing easily, so strong yet hopeless romantic".
"Tch! You're getting annoying."
Sip!
Benihime took a drink of her tea with a smile following after, "You still make good tea." She complimented before taking another sip of the tea.
"Why thank you," Akano smiled as she sat down on the chair with her own cup of tea with her.
"So, how is the planning with Sato? Are you on track or are you planning to do it yourself?" Akeno asked.
"Doing it myself is out of the question, the book of will is still with them, that said… Sato seems to have an incredible amount of powerful people backing him up, he is a helpful asset to have". Benihime responded.
"Ehhh, are you sure you don't have a crush on…"
Peeww!
Benihime splashed the tea she was holding on Akeno, "More tea if you don't mind." She uttered, looking at Akeno who was wet from the tea.
Sato and Davanchi were on their way back to the village while Divanchi was trying to get Sato to eat the box of snakes she had when suddenly a loud thud hit their carriage.
"The hell!" Divanchi voiced, getting ready to leave the carriage and check what caused the thud.
"Wait, don't stress yourself." Sato uttered, he opened the door beside him and a wolf girl rushed in.;
"It's that girl." Divanchi looked as the wolf girl slowly stood up from the ground while rubbing the bump on her head.
"Ow! That hurts." The wolf girl sobbed.
With a sigh, Sato asked, "You've been following me around, haven't you?".
"Heheh, impressive right?!" The wolf girl smirked with a smug look on her face as she stood up with her hands tucked.
"What do you want?" Sato raised a question.
"I-"
Sato suddenly interrupted, "If you are here for food, I already told you, I won't be giving you anymore".
"Y-you won't…" The wolf girl mumbled with a sad expression on her face while her tail wiggled behind her.
Sato sighed again, reaching for the book of snacks and heading over to the wolf, "Here.".
A smile hit her face before she snatched the box and began eating the snacks. Almost instantly, Divanchi smacked Sato on the back of the head.
"What the hell Divanchi!"
"Funny, my hand must have slipped".
