Chapter 99 Be My Companion!

"Ahhhhh!"

Sato cried out in pain as he made an effort to free himself from the chains that were clamped around his hands and connected to a giant wall behind him.

"Elena! Elena! Hey! Ahhhhh!" Sato cried out, tears falling from his eyes as he looked at Elena's dead body on the ground.

"Urgh! … What in the hell is going on here?! Predator! Lightsaber! Dark mist! Anything….. Fireball!.. For God's sake, They're dying!" Sato bemoaned, using all his strength to pull one last time but it still wasn't enough to free him from the restraints.

"Die you, bastard!" A voice echoed throughout the space.

Sato slowly glanced in front of him, his eyes widened in shock when he spotted a man, dressed in a black spooky outfit and wearing a round black hat, standing a few distances away from him.

But not just that, the said man had his hands around Divanchi's neck as he pinched her above the ground while his foot was on Yuri's dead body.

All around the man were deceased elves and other Sato's subjects, scattered on the ground in a giant pool of blood.

"Aril! Do something dammit… don't let her die too… Aril?..." Sato muttered, his eyes dripping with tears before dropping to his knees.

"M…master."

Sato paused before he slowly glimpsed at where the voice came from. Right to his left was Aril, laying in a pool of blood with the lower half of her body gone.

"Aril?... Ha… haha…hahaha." A faint sad laugh left Saro's mouth as he looked away and focused on Divanchi.

Like a coconut, the man crushed Divanchi's head to the ground, leaving her headless body to fall while blood dripped from his hands.

"Why?... Why the hell am I so useless?! Why the hell are you making me watch this? Again and again and again, what the hell do you want from me!" Sato burst into tears as he kept slamming his head on the ground continuously, "How did a worthless person like me get power like this?! Why was I even granted a second life if I keep doing the same shit every time… I…I don't want this anymore!".

Baam!

Sato banged his head on the floor over and over, "Come on! Come on! Why won't I die?!".

No matter the amount of blood and open wound that was on Sato's face, he couldn't kill himself and everything just kept healing up.

"Please… please let me end it…."

Wahhh! Wahhh!

The dark cloud that had covered Sato's mind was immediately lightened by a glimmer of hope when he heard the cries of a body.

He instantly looked to the left side to see a baby sitting in a pool of blood, crying his eyes out while Latina was spreading dead in front of him.

A faint smile hit Sato's face when he saw the baby, "Y… You're still alive." He exclaimed.

But the relief he felt was short, Sato suddenly noticed the man was walking toward the baby with his long katana dancing in the air.

Sato screamed, "Hunter!" A spark of black lightning began to surround his body and scatter the ground around him.

'If it's just one person… just one person… I beg of you…' Sato yelled, "let me accomplish that even if it takes my life!".

<<Very well then.>>

Emerging from the pool of blood, was a silver-haired woman with golden eyes and a red pretty dress.

She stood in front of Sato and placed her hands around his cheeks, <<I'll help you, but you need only do one thing… be my companion!>>.

Sato immediately opened his eyes and found Yuri seated on the bed with her back facing him.

'W..was that a dream?' Sato thought as he skimmed his cheeks to see a trail of tears around them.

<<Good morning.>>

"Morning Aril," Sato replied before sitting upright on the bed, placing his hand on his forehead as he went into deep contemplation.

"Oh, you're awake." Yuri uttered with a smile on her face as she looked at Sato, "Master, check what I made especially for you".

Yuri picked up the bowl of brown soup on the floor, "See! I noticed you haven't been eating well, so I made…".

Out of nowhere, Saro pulled Yuri close with a tight hug.

"M.. master?, what are you?" Yuri muttered with her cheeks beet red from embarrassment.

"Please, just let me stay like this for a little while." Sato voiced with his forehead resting on Yuri's shoulder.

"O…okay." Yuri responded, holding up the bowl of soap as she tried to hold down the excitement she was feeling.

...….

After the incident in the room, Yuri and Sato went out to do their usual daily patrol of the village.

After four months of planning and working, the village grew into a large residence with more buildings and people to accommodate.

It got so huge that Sato had to cut down a huge part of the forest to make more space for construction and road building toward the Riojas Kingdom for better trading since they were the best customers so far.

And the Riojas kingdom already helped Sato with the financial budgets to finish the project for the road, the king also felt the road could be beneficial for him too.

Sato made sure he knew the ways he could add more income to the village. Trading Deerhugs, cooling/heating liquid, herbs, and plants were one of the main trades he did.

Then he moved to open small shops for Laura and some other elves, in the Aeis Kingdom which was a human territory, and the Tamron Kingdom which was another demon Kingdom.

But with the success came other problems, the beast men who were staying in the Velkyries home, Rizaha which was located in the witches forest were slowly starting to lose interest and wanted to come stay in the elves village.

So, Sato came up with one solution, visit the Velkyries and speak to them about linking Rizaha with the village.
