Chapter 250

***

"Ah, at last..."

The unidentified woman jumped down from the fence where she had been seated and yawned, "You kept me waiting for so long that I almost fell asleep." She then vanished from her position and reappeared directly behind Yomite, smirking at him.

'Teleportation? Or maybe a short distance instant transmission?'

Her voice held pride as she spoke once more. "As usual, my astrological projections have proven accurate, but that's to be expected from a person of my stature."

A large blue circle appeared in front of her; it appeared to be a magical formation that allowed her to see things that no one else could.

"You. Yes you. You must accompany me; I have questions for you." Poiting at Yomite, she walked past his party members.

Yomite regarded her for a moment before addressing Lumine,

"So, where were we before? Yes, simply teleport us to this location on the map that I marked."

Lumine nodded in response before preparing the teleport.

Yomite disregarded the woman's words entirely.

When the woman realized she was being ignored, she became impatient "Hey! I instructed you to follow me! What are you up to?"

The woman stomped towards them until she was face to face with him.

She poked his chest with her index finger before continuing with her rant, "I will refrain from repeating myself... You, follow me. Now! I have something to talk with you about!" She then turned to Lumine and began gesticulating wildly while repeating, "Actually, she should follow me as well! The remainder may stay here."

"Why? Why would I follow an unknown woman to some secret sex dungeon? What if your goal is to get me into a trap or take advantage of my handsome self? Your left thigh has a tear, which suggests that you wear the same tights every day; your witch hat is unusually dirty, which could indicate that you use it as a pillow while sleeping near a road; and you look as pale as if you didn't see anything remotely edible in weeks. Not to mention you...I apologize if this is offensive, but you smell a bit. When was the last time you showered? ...I feel like this is some sort elaborate ruse. I will not follow you, now piss off." Yomite retorted.

"Wha-!? You little-!"

The woman then took a menacing step forward, but stopped when she felt something brush against her leg.

Looking down, she saw a blade pressed against her thigh.

Lumine had stepped between her and Yomite with her blade at hand. The other members of the party had drawn their own weapons in case of an attack.

"Party leader doesn't appreciate you getting so close. Please leave. You've been nothing but rude so far." Lumine stated in a stern manner.

The woman snorted and rolled her eyes, "Nothing but rude? Then that would mean he was extremely rude to me! He said I smell!!! How can you tell a woman she smells?!...Fine...whatever. Let's see what you say about this. You, both of you, aren't exactly from this world, are you?"

"..."

...

..

.

This question alarmed everyone present.

Their focus shifted to Lumine and Yomite.

"Yum-Yum...? What is she talking about?" Barbara asked hesitantly.

"Hah! I knew it!" Hu Tao laughed, "This esteemed Director knew all along about the fact that her dearest assistant was special, but now that it was confirmed, I am feeling triumphant!"

"Another world!? Then does that mean, Bad Tattoo is in the same situation as the traveler Lumine?" Paimon asked out of confusion.

Before this incident, only Fischl and Lumine were aware that Yomite was from another world, but it appeared that now everyone in his group was aware due to this woman.

Same went for Lumine. Yomite advised her to conceal this information, but it was too late. Both had already been exposed.

Nonetheless, he could still salvage the situation...

By doing something he was bad at...

Lying!

He awkwardly rubbed the nape of his neck, "Uh, actually...you've got the wrong person...me no speak your language...ooga booga?"

Yomite used "Lying"!

A very common, yet useful ability plenty of humans possessed, yet didn't know how to utilize properly, he was one of them.

"Don't try to play dumb! I'm not stupid to fall for such a pathetic lie."

"Mi casa es su casa? Ich bin from Japan. Yomite vagyok."

"I know you're lying. No one else here would be dumb enough to believe you."

"..."

Lying wasn't very effective...

Just as expected...

There was a moment of awkward silence. Everyone else waited anxiously for an explanation, be it from Yomite or the unknown woman...

It seemed that spouting random sentences from other languages he barely remembered had no effect.

'How troubling...but I still have one more card up my sleeve. My charisma!'

He turned to all of his lovely party members and smiled as gently as if they were the most precious things in the world.

He had never felt more at peace before, he thought, with his comrades like this.

"Girls, I love you all. You're all so perfect and great. Let's just kill her."

Killing the problematic person who dared to reveal their hidden identity? Seemed more than fair!

However, at that moment, everything went silent.

His party was frozen solid by the sudden confession.

No one made any sound.

Until...

"P-Party leader..said he...loves me..."

"Ah, my dearest Assistant, I know, I know~ you don't say it often but I know! It's so embarrassing now~! I will give you lots of loving later~"

"Ahah, yes. Yes. YES! You finally admitted we're connected by the string of love! How wonderful this day turned out to be! Yum-Yum! Through life and death, we shall never be separated!"

"Master~ Gvruu~"

"Y-Y-You can't say stuff like that at the heat of a moment to Paimon...B-But if this baddie has any treasures on her...rob her blind!"

The fighting spirit of the girls rose up; naturally intensified after his lovable remarks.
