Chapter 19 - Determination

I sigh tiredly while looking at the bottles that on the table right now. All of that bottles is something that can be considered a masterpiece of mine. It's not an ordinary potion or anything, maybe miraculous and even can makes me earn Noble Prize if I want to submit it.

But that will be a dumb move. I don't want that happen and being to low-profile is something I always do. I'm trying to be unnoticed or anything, maybe trying to be ordinary but… it seems pointless with my reputation back in Kuoh and Underworld.

Inside these bottles is something special. It contain a special fluid or water, anything you could call it. But it's not a something science can do it yet, far from it and if humanity or science development became faster than present, then it would be possible to produce something like this. They can mass-produce it if they can make this.

There are several bottles line up here in the table.

First, [P-10IC]. A potion or drink that allow someone who drink it to grow a d.i.c.k or p.e.n.i.s with 10 inch d.i.c.k that will last about 24 hours. It also allow to alter one genetic or DNA when consumed and functioning like normal p.e.n.i.s do.

Yep, that's the potion or drink that enable women to i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e someone with a d.i.c.k. You can say it's temporary and not permanent since I also have the drink that can easily make it gone if they want to have lesbian s.e.x too. I do not want to make my future customer disappointed and not satisfied with the service that I provide to them.

Second, [AP-10IC]. A drink that neutralize the [P-10IC]'s effect and made it gone. There are severals of them and it's varies, from [P-3IC], [P-6IC], [P-10IC], and [P-15IC]. As for the neutralize for that, [AP-3IC], [AP-6IC], [AP-10IC], and [AP-15IC]. The name of the drink sounds scientific and somehow it made me proud, but I hope it not make me become chuuni like those otaku that I've know when I accidentally visited Akihabara and see many otakus who roams the streets.

And I have another bottles left asides from the other two. It's amazing and can be considered one of my masterpiece. Can I call it masterpiece? Hope so and this is my original work! Somehow it made me has to claim it and get the copyright to make sure anyone won't stole it.

Thieves are bad. Although there seems exist some noble thief like Robin Hood, but nevertheless, stealing and becomes thief is bad. I hope that I won't become someone like that, eh but considered my action earlier to kill and get Hyoudou-senpai's Sacred Gear… I become thief! I think I already become like them.

I let out a long sigh and shake my head in frustration when think about that. But there is many thing that still puzzled to me.

"Just what is Qlippoth and… Trihexa? That sounds familiar for me but I can't seems to remember it. When I heard about the word of Trihexa… and what does it mean to prevent it from awoken? Does it a creature or object that is so dangerous and made many people afraid of it? So because of that, I need to prevent the worst thing to not happen…"

Are Qlippoth linked with this Trihexa? Are they some kind of organization? The big one that act as the bad guy or evil people who always trying to harm and hurt many? Like saying those cliché lines to their enemy? Maybe something like that, but if that's true then I really need to step up myself for the worst situation that may came to me.

But I maybe can remember it as time passes. A year can be considered short but actually long. If some people feel it slow, then it's actually became slow for them, especially when one always eager to counts the day to make sure they want to pass the year. Like for example, when someone really bored in holiday and want to back to school or work, they feel the time flow became slow, even if it three month or a year.

I snort when have that thought.

But that made me suddenly realized something and panicked a bit.

"But… wait, wait, wait… the fate of this world on me. A year… does that mean that I don't have many times to have fun? Moreover I still have a school. If I think about it more realistic, that would be bad if I made a mistake or a lot of it."

Yes. A year… is it possible for me to complete this [Quest]? Even if I had many companions or army, I don't think it will be that simple like everything settled just like that. Even if I had my luck status and my cheat skills… If I'm not hone it so well, there might be a chance that I will fail this task.

My cheat skills, [Super Growth Status], is allows me to increase only my status whenever I eat, drink, sleep, or doing any l.e.w.d act. All of my status increased by 10 point but to master my skills… I have to do it in old style. Through hardwork and train like what everyone do.

Also I don't have my signature or special move for my [Power of Destruction]. It's true that I can learn and copy onii-sama's [Ruin The Extinct] but that just rip-off and not my own original special move. It will help me a lot if I have something like that.

"Then it will be back to the old-styled type of training. Like when I was young or kid back then…"

I snorted when think back about it. The memories when I'm still kid is so vivid for me. I can still clearly remembers it as if yesterday and it look like the effect of my [Clairvoyance] too. It helped me to see and remember about memories, even if it myself.

With the remaining free customized skill that I haven't used, it's possible for me to create a skill that allows me to master any kind of skill without hardworking and break any sweats. But it will be useless… because there is many skills that I can choose to becomes real. I mean it's good to choose and have that kind of skills, but it feel waste for me.

"I don't know that thinking about the last customized skill is this hard…"

I said that while put my hand on the chin and sighed. Thinking about the last free skill is seems hard to me and I don't know why it will be like this. Because if I want to choose 'a skill that can create skills or anything' it will be pointless to choose the two skills I already had.

But maybe that can be solved and think later. Ah… the pain of delay things… I became stupid…

Setting that asides, I take out my phone and send messages to someone I know. Not someone, but people I know. They're important to me and the other one is really important because it's essential to my role as devil and the high-class devil noble from Gremory clan.

In fact, those are two people. One is my [Queen] candidate for [Peerage] and other is my fallen angel friend. But if I can says, both of them is my friend even though they're strangers at first and it made no sense to think of them so fast as friend and important people. But I did that.

I did think Reine-san and Raynare-san is my friend and important people. So that's why I give them messages about my plan to move in to Bonyari. But I'm currently in confusion about where the high school I have to choose… Bonyari or Namihazu…?

If I choose Bonyari, I can be with Kosaki-chan and Haru-chan… but if I choose Namihazu, there's a possibility I can approach Nagumo Hajime since he's an important figure in his own future. Maybe I can change his fate… like help or ignore him… but that sounds ridiculous.

It's not like I like him or anything. Not like as romantic, I don't even know him until today. But judging from his appearance and personality from what [Clairvoyance] showed to me, I think he is the type of people that will attract girls affection and… what is that called, harem…? Yeah, that one.

[Boosted Gear] is one of the growth-type Sacred Gear like others. It can became strong within time and as the wielder d.e.s.i.r.e. If the use d.e.s.i.r.e is high, there's a chance that it will become stronger and powerful fast without people know it.

"I hope they're fine with me moving in. But should I inform onee-sama and others? Hm… no way. Why I must do that?"

It is pointless. It's not like onee-sama will care about me that much as she still in her ordinary high schooler play. She still playing that role and I bet it she not yet think about her own engagement. She also must be aim to recruit Hyoudou-senpai while not know about what is his Sacred Gear yet. She always seeks the best for her.

But here I am, still not yet have any pieces for my [Peerage]. It's so shameless… not even single piece.

That doesn't mean I have to depression all time. If I not trying, then there wil be no result even if I boosted by my luck. If that's true, then Lavi-nee already becomes my [Queen] and not reject it when I offers the position of [Queen] to her.

It sounds stupid to not inform anything that happen to me to someone like onee-sama, but I became tired of her behavior. She can't even see what is wrong with herself before think about other. All of her [Peerage] members are obtained in such easy way if I recall it and a bit forced.

First, Akeno-san, she's forced to be her first member because of her family circ.u.mstance. She's half fallen angel that born from human and fallen angel. All of it became tragedy so fast and she being saved by our family to the point onee-sama want her to be the [Queen].

Second is Yumi-san, a failed experiment subject of Holy Sword Project that being held by church. All of the child that have the potential are sacrified to becomes the wielder of Holy Sword and most of it failed but ironically success to be turned into a stone. Special stone that contain their souls and made non-Holy Sword wielder became the wielder. Onee-sama found her when about to die from hunger in winter and trying to escape then made Yumi-san her [Knight].

Third, Koneko-chan or… Shirone-chan. From the famous Nekoshou or sub-species of Nekomata, her sister became a wanted criminal because killing her own master and left her little sister to our family. Onii-sama give Shirone-chan to onee-sama as a 'gift' and became her [Rook] in her [Peerage].

From my point of view, all of them look like forced. But from theirs, it's not. We're have differents view after all and I appreciate it. Our goals and mind is different even though we are siblings. If her dream to become the strongest [Peerage] and attain first rank in [Rating Game], then I just want to spent my life in a peace if it possible.

I mean, we're currently in the cold war between three faction. There still some people who kill or killed during it. Like how fallen angel hunt human and devil hunt fallen angel also human. Human is the main possible target of supernatural creatures.

I nod my head with determination. In my head, I already think all of this and decided to move in to Bonyari, live here and maybe in Nanako-san's house when I completing the [Quest] that given to me. It is give me a lot of benefits instead of one, like I can care and deepen my relationship with them more.

I just hope that Lavi-nee, Suza-nee, Sera-tan, Yukina-chan, and Mai-chan alright with this. But I really want for them to move with me too, although I can't force them since it's their decision. I feel hypocrite when thinking like that.

A ringing sounds suddenly beeping. It's from my phone, so I open it and check what it is, curious about what causing the sounds and I got two message from someone I knew. They're from Reine-san and Raynare-san. I just chuckled when read the contents, because it's a bit funny when I read it.

[To: Lilith Gremory

From: Murasame Reine

Title: Living in Bonyari?

Lilith, are you really want to move in Bonyari? If so, I'd like to come too since it would be easy for me to kept contact with you. I'll prepare it today and come tomorrow. Where are you currently stay?]

Yep, Reine-san decided to be with me. She immediately want to live with me judging from her message alone and… I also expected the same with Raynare-san.

From: Amano Yuuma

Title: I'd like to come too, Lilith!

Lilith…?! You want to leave Kuoh, are you serious? Then I'd like to live with you. Is it okay…? I hope you won't be bothered by me… and oh, please tell me the current address of your place. Although I can't come straight away, next month I will, so just wait for me!]

For Raynare-san, she is busy this month and decided to come at next month. I can understand it, though maybe she will come earlier than she herself expected since her task is to observe Hyoudou-senpai which Yuuna will kill to complete the first objective of my [Quest].

After read all of it, my hands then typing and reply their message. Since those two already decided to live with me, it will be rude to reject and made them sad. I don't want that and it's better for me rather than being alone. Not exactly alone since Lavi-nee and Suza-nee sometimes come and play around in my home. There is also Yukina-chan and Mai-chan who do that too.

Finished sent the messages and arranging the bottles I already created to my [Inventory], my eyes noticed that times already flew by so fast without I realizing. There's still many bottles left that I haven't check it again, but maybe I do it next time. Making all of this potion or bottles really made me lost the track of time… somehow it's good despite I'm doing it in park.

That's why I decided to have my lunch since it's the time.

Of course I don't have any lunchbox that I prepared and… look like I have to apologize to Nanako-san that I lied about 'going out for a bit' earlier. Hope she can forgive me and let's focus on find any good restaurant or café to have lunch. Hope it was decent place and have good food, I don't want to eat something bad.

------

A while after finish my lunch, I decided to go back to Nanako-san's house, but then I suddenly feel something unpleasant. Something that smells so bad and stink when its smell being caught by my nose without I realize it.

It's not common smell like garbage or anything, rather it has the supernatural on it. Also the aura I feel and its power… one level lower than mine if I guess it correctly. It's quite weird if I suddenly encounter something and has to fight for it. Logically, the correct choice is to flee and running away for safety, but since I haven't encounter any fight for years it made me iching about it.

I can clearly feel the smells and it getting closer each time I'm trying to get to the place. Turn right and it's in alley, a stray devil that busy with its prey and eat its flesh without realizing about me who peeked from the alley entrance.

It's female stray devil and busy satisfy her own stomach and… suck her target energy. That look nasty, but since I want to fight and trying to feel the excitement again, I don't have to give it a sneak attack with my [Power of Destruction]. Instead, use my new skills that I've got from Lavi-nee and put it in use.

But… to eat her target carelessly like this… she must be an amateur stray devil that hasn't left her own master for long.

It made me smirk in excitement and began to use [Light Magic], locking the target and began to launch the shape of my magic, laser-shape light magic that launched onto her right leg. She cry in pain and suddenly noticed me. Her hungry-looking eyes and drool from her mouth, she walk slowly towards me.

Although it's hard for her because her right leg injured.

She just screeching and jump at me, trying to attack me with her claw. Knowing that, I dodge and attack her with my [Light Magic] again. Shaping it in form of spear, an ordinary spear of light that every fallen angel use, without wasting time—my hands then thrust the light spear, with every strength I had, into her own heart. Deep and give her a painful attack.

She let out a loud cry of pain, before vanished because died from my attack. No corpse of her remain in the alley, as if she die became nothing.

I just sigh in bored after doing it.

"That was a very quick fight I ever had… disappointing…"

It made me itching for exciting fight. Although it's not I was battle maniac.
