<<Notice… Heart rate is increasing exponentially, this is a sign of fear or anxiety,… >>.
'Shut up, Helix!' Sato shouted, 'Hold up, come to think of it, I didn't feel anything when I killed them… but I did kill living breathing people,'.
"Oi!" Erza shouted.
Sato sighed, 'Maybe I'm overthinking this, they were the enemy, right Helix?' He asked.
<<Question confirmed… Survival of my master comes first and foremost, Killing was essential to eliminate the threat.>>
'Well, I get that'.
<<Keeping your identity secret was top of your list for your secret mission to help the elves. Your mask was not on you throughout the fight. Killing them is another reason to keep your identity a secret>>
'Okay, I get it'.
Sato suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder.
He instinctively turned and saw Yuri standing behind him with her face drawn close to his.
"Yuri?" He muttered.
"Are you alright master? You were spaced out for a while." Yuri said, using her hand to rub Sato's head.
Sato paused, looking at how she was smiling wholeheartedly while patting his head.
"W..What are you doing?" Sato asked.
Yuri immediately removed her hand and moved back with a sparkling look on her face, "So? Do you feel better now? I read it in one of master's memories that you enjoyed head Pats… hehe." She said smugly, with her middle rubbing under her nose.
"I see." Sato said with a straight face on the outside but on the inside, 'What the hell?! When did you show her that part of my memories…Helix? Helix?!'.
Sato kept calling out but he got no response from her.
He sighed, 'Well, I guess I'll discuss that later, for now… I should deal with her case.' Sato muttered before walking over to Erza.
He sat down on the chair with Yuri standing behind him while Erza lay on the bed with Elena standing on the opposite side.
"What was your question again?" Sato inquired of Erza.
She first grunted in response to his question, "Where am I?" Erza asked.
"Hmmm… you're in my village Avalon." Sato responded, "Now before you say anything, no it has not been recorded by the king so the name isn't official".
Erza tilted her head to the side with a confused expression on her face, "So you just decided this place to be Avalon on your own, isn't that rather dumb?" She asked.
'I feel like she's trying to mess with me.' Sato said to himself with a wierd smile on his face before replying, "Well no, it just seemed like the most appropriate name".
Erza paused for a while, "I'd like to speak to the one in charge." She said.
"I just told you, this is my village," Sato responded.
Erza paused again, she looked at both Elana and Yuri's faces to see if there was a chance Sato was lying.
"It appears you are telling the truth."
"Of course I am!" Sato shouted with a hint of frustration, "Geez, keep up already".
Not long after, Deka's yelling was heard outside the building.
"Listen here, keep calm, or I'll be forced to attack!".
"Shut up and show me where the Lady is this instant."
"The hell is your problem, you blood-sucking weirdo, let go of me".
"What's all the noise about?" Sato uttered, standing up from the chair and walking outside with Yuri walking behind him.
"That voice… sounds just like Sebastian," Erza said, she immediately removed the blanket covering her legs and was about to stand up till Elena aimed her sword.
"Bold of you to aim that at me a second time" Erza voiced, her leg halfway on the ground as she looked at Elena.
"You have a deadly aura, I can tell…" Elena pulled her sword back, "As long as you promise you aren't a threat, then we are good,".
...
Sato walked out of the building to see elves gathering in a circle.
'The hell is going on there.' Sato said to himself, he walked over to them and was quick to notice Sebastian in the middle.
"Deka, what is the problem here?" Sato voiced out.
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on him, "lord Sato." They called out in unison before clearing a path for him to pass.
"Lord Sato, glad you showed up… the guest you brought in is causing quite a bit of trouble." Deka reported with his scythe behind him.
"So you're the one in charge here!" Sebastian yelled, he had his left arm around Jiro's neck and his other arm holding a pointy metal.
"Yes, I am." Sato responded.
Sebastian grunted, "Interesting,".
He threw Jiro to the ground and charged toward Sato in the blink of an eye. A wild wind blew as soon as his foot left the ground.
Sebastian was so close to punching Sato but Yuri suddenly appeared in front of him and held the punch with her hand.
Sebastian was forced to cease his advance when his hand started rotting. "What?" He muttered.
He could feel his blood drying up the longer Yuri held his hand, looking up at her, Sebastian could see the horror deep inside her glowing eyes.
He felt to his knees and tried using his other hand to punch her but she held it and added the same rotting effect leaving Sebestain defenseless.
"Yuri, that's enough." Sato ordered.
"Master, you are way too kind. This Margot deserves a painful death for trying to attack you."
Sato sighed, "Yuri!" He called out with a bit of assertiveness.
She immediately let go of Sebastian's hand, leaving him to fall to the ground, panting as his dried-up hand started healing itself.
Yuri turned to look at Sato, "Master? are you angry at me? I'm sorry" She sobbed.
" I'm not angry, but you don't have to kill him, remember he's still our guest," Sato uttered, walking over to Sebastian.
As soon as Sato walked past her, Yuri sent a glare at Sebastian.
"Sorry about that, she can be protective." Sato apologized, giving Sebastian a hand on his feet.
"Sebastian." Erza yelled from the entrance.
Spotting her, Sebastian ran towards Erza and bowed his head when he got close, "Are you hurt Milady?" He asked.
"I should be asking you that, I'm glad to see you survived." Erza said with a smile on her face.
"I'm just as surprised, I just woke up and found myself here… one of the little helpers told me you were here and I just had to confirm, I initially thought you were being kept prisoner here." He expressed.
"Same thing happened to me." Erza uttered, looking at Sato who had a smile on his face and was twinkling his fingers at her.
