Chapter 1
You truly were slothful..a black haired boy muttered as the Archbishop of sloth, betelgeuse romanee Conti was crushed by the carriage.This story isn't about Subaru Natsuki tho but what happened after Betelgeuse's cruel fate.
That is right,iam a Monster who hunts Monster's.the Red haired sword saint answered in a calm voice before slamming the archbishop of greed, regulus corneas, into the ground with a precise kick. The Rest is a miserable ending you have already heard. This story isn't about the strongest individual,Reinahard Van Astrea but about the afterlife of the small king named regulus corneas.
You Lose.Similar to Betelgeuse's Fate,Subaru Natsuki was also the culprit of this persons end. Only difference was That his opponent wasn't furious like Betelgeuse at all. Louis Arneb the Archbishop of gluttony representing satiation,was shedding tears and screamed her lungs out. This was because of the horrors she has witnessed by returning by death several times. Like the first two of her kind she also will be a part of this story.
I love you,Ram...While not said by the person in question, those were the last words of the Archbishop called Lye batenkaitos. Foolishly enough to take on the reincarnation of the oni god he died an quick death. Obviously that won't be his end tho.
All of those individuals and even the ones who may haven't died yet will either die in the future or have their life destroyed. They are enemies of Subaru natsuki. And Subaru natsuki knows no defeat. They each went down a dark path leading them to Crime,murder and sometimes stuff worse than that. But with a different starting point this maybe would change....
Regulus: huh? What the....
The white haired archbishops mumbles obviously confused of the situation. How could he not? He just Died.
Regulus: Didn't the water eventually drown me....wait no! More important. Where am I?! This doesn't look like Pristella or Lugunica at all!
filled with Panic he looks around. The Street is cornered with gigantic buildings their height coming close to his very own mansion or maybe even the crystal palace even if he has only heard of it and never actually seen it. It appears to be Night in this place. Atleast the time fits the moment he died at. It was then that under some metallic tree with a light coming from its top he spotted a girl with long black hair. He runs up to her and pants once he stops.
Regulus:Ughhhh! seems like my wife's have their bonds still torn from me...hey you over there!
Stranger: huh? You mean me?
Regulus: Who else?! Tell me where we are!!
Stranger:.....uh we're in the Minato district
Regulus: and that is where?
Stranger: in Tokyo?
Regulus: AND THAT IS WHERE?
Stranger: In Japan! Stop screaming. You're really creeping me out! Relax,are you drunk?
Regulus:...did you just order me to relax and asked if I was under the influence of some substance? Don't get cocky women! Normally I planned on making you my wife since you have quite the preety face,but if this countinues I will be forced to choose someone else. I don't even know if your a virgin or no-
Before he could fully finish that sentence the strongest Archbishop,representing greed,regulus corneas was pepper sprayed by the women before him causing him to scream and rub his eyes violently while coughing. The girl didn't plan to stop there tho. She gave regulus an devastating finishing blow into the balls causing him to fall over before going for a run.
Regulus: HEY! Stand still! Come back here and stay so I can kill you! My eyes burn so much due to your weird Metia! You'll see...
The Archbishop stand up,grabs a handful of garbage off the ground and uses lions heart to stop their time. He throws the projectiles at the Girl running away in the distance instantly evaporating her and the entire street. Atleast that's what he wished would've happened. In reality the garbage flew only a Meter and spread out further when impacting.
Regulus: My Authority.....I already had a weird gut feeling but this....it has to be a mistake! Hya! Ha! Kya!
Regulus jumps around and swings his arms wildly waiting for any kind of reaction from his Authority. Nothing...he truly has lost it and by what is gonna follow I dont only mean his authority.
Regulus: I can't believe it.....No wait! That Sissy of a man Subaru or so...in the Moment before losing consciousness I felt my Authority going to him. He stole it! Oh when I find him. I'll kill him,his half-demon bitch and that excuse of a sword saint too! My name is regulus corneas I've been an archbishop of sin for over 100 years. I've done my job well and honorably always following the words of the gospel even tho I obviously didn't need to have some book guide me. I'm the victim here. My wife's were all brutally murdered by that Trio and they didn't even waste a thought of mercy. What monster does that! Especially after I let Subaru alive when taking number 79 with me. I did nothing wrong! It's not my fault!
The Archbishop rambles loudly to himself with red eyes from the pepper spray and wobbly legs from the kick to the crotch. While going up the street. The one or other bypasser sneaks a gaze but Regulus is far too concerned with setting his story right as to deal with them. Just then he notices the keys in his pocket.
Regulus: what the?
He grabs them out of his pocket and.....
Meanwhile somewhere on the edge of the street leading directly into district Saitama.
Louis: huh?
Roy: hoh?
Lye: heh?
The three siblings considered the Archbishop of Gluttony by most people all reacted in confusion. Still fully oblivious to the fact they all three are there they all say the first thing in their mind not disappointing their childlike looks.
Louis: We are out of the Hall of memories?!
Roy: Reid has left our mind?!
Lye: we're alive?!
After asking those much needed questions they first bother to look around themself,only now noticing the presence of their Siblings.
Louis: Roy? Lye?!
Lye and Roy: Sister?!
Louis: when you two are here than how am I....
Roy: Sister! Have you finally found a life that you will be happy with? It doesn't look too extraordinary from what you usually have butttt who are we to judge! We're so happy for you!
Lye: oh Ram....my dearest. Have you granted us this new opportunity of life where we can spend it with our sister? You really are the incarnation of a god.
Louis: What happend.....
Ignoring the Yap of her brothers Louis heavily focuses on the events before her appearance here. Not even 5 seconds pass before she falls to her knees and clutches her chest feeling the quick pumping of her heart.
Louis: We died....and died and died and died and died and died and died and died and died and died and died
Roy: sister what are you...
Lye: you're acting strange.
Louis: We died! And We came back! Don't you guys see? Our authority! Our memories! They should be connected at all times....how can't you- hk!
Roy: now where you mention it....i don't feel the presence of our authority in us...
Lye: same for us. Have we....Lost it?
Roy: ohhhhhhhh! How terrible! How utmost terrible! It's like someone ate it away from us! How disgustingly gluttonous!!!!!
Roy spits furiously while Lye still seems to not fully understand the situation. And Louis..
Roy: h-hey sister! Get up from the ground. Your teeth are clattering...
Lye: what's up with her...
Louis: this is bad this is bad this is bad. We will die. Die death dying. Don't wanna die! Now where the Authority is gone HE will have no reason to let us live now. We have to hide. Hide hide hide!
Almost animalistic Louis rubs her white clothes full with mud from the street edge and tries to crawl into a bush while Roy and Lye pull her by the legs
Lye: sister! Talk to us! We're siblings we should know of eachothers fears!
Roy: exactly! Who could possible be so terrifying you find us to hide.
Louis: let go of me you idiots. Subaru! Subaru natsuki will come and he'll surely kill us. Why should he not?! He'll kill us all!
Lye: Natsuki Subaru is the reason for this?! He is our Hero, remember? Wasn't the whole tomult in the watchtower because of him. You didn't tell us any more tho…
Roy: so it's about him? We don't understand why you're so full of fear!
Their talk gets interrupted by a Car driving past them at relatively high speeds,not bothering to stop for the 3 kids sitting in the mud on the street side during night.
Roy: what was that....it looked like a metallic fully closed Dragon carriage but where was the land dragon! So fast...
Louis:....That was a car...
Lye: A Car? It's the first time we've heard that word...when we are so connected how is it possible you have such knowledge while we Dont!
Louis: this is Subaru natsukis world....if this is his world. And he is in ours. Than.....
Louis slightly trips forward before giving up completely and dropping unconscious on the ground. Roy rushes to her checking her breathing.
Roy: everything seems to be in place.
Lye: luckily....but what was up with her? All that ramble about dying and Subaru Natsuki. She also mentioned something about this being Subarus world...maybe she wasn't insane but actually said the truth...that thing that passed us exists nowhere in Lugunica,Kararagi,Gusteko or Vollachia.
Roy: so there really exists a world beyond the great waterfall.....so much new lifes to eat. And yet we can't eat! We can't! Our authority! It has been stolen!!!!!
Lye: Truly a shame...sister will probably know how to regain it- no we are sure she does! She has always been the more creative and intelligent of us...
Roy takes Louis unconscious body on his back and they begin to walk down the street. The one or other car passes by but usually pays them little to not attention.
Roy: we are appearently somewhere on the farming region of this place. But those fields. Even tho it's night we can easily see how well kept they are. No farmer even in the greenest regions of Lugunica keeps their plants this good treated.
Lye: The Mana level here appears to be Zero too. Either that or our Gate has been closed as a whole when getting here...
After a couple kilometers of walking a black van halts next to them. The Driver rolls down the window revealing the middle aged women with glasses sitting there. A Nametag on her Jacket says Sarah
Sarah: ...my goodness you looked young from the distance from up here you barely seem over the age of 13. Get into the car. I'll drive you to wherever you want. Even the Police station depending on the situation.
Lye: so you do understand our language....how do we enter this Carriage?
He asks while gazing at the metallic wall before him
Sarah: you have to be kidding me..the car door knob!
Roy: mhhhhh. Ah!
Roy pulls said car door knob just low enough for him to reach and the door springs opens with surprising ease. He first lays Louis down who even with all the tomult is sleeping deeply. Then goes into it himself and lets Lye get in after it. Lye closes the door behind him and explores the cars interior
Lye: you're not gonna ship us off to gladiator island are you?
Sarah: I'm not gonna do what to what? Kids these days.....well aren't you gonna buckle your seatbelt?
Roy: uh? Belts?
They look around and discover the belts at each their side. They simply play a little around with it before looking at Sarah with a look of plead.
Sarah: You have to be fucking with me... Put the metallic end in the red entrance!
Lye: likeee this?
Roy: We got it!
Sarah: Perfect...HEY! Don't forget the little Blondie there too! Seriously....what is your deal? You are barefoot in this weird looking clothing full of mud in the middle of night and look barely above the age of 13! ...once we're in the city I'll bring you to an station...
After a short drive where Roy and Lye were mostly quietly looking out the windows in awe of the big grey stone buildings that are around everywhere and the sheer amount of those so called cars around everywhere,they arrive in a big space where several of those cars stand still.
Sarah: Okay look. I'll just quickly tell my boss what's going on because my phone ran out of charge,after that I'll call an Officer.You stay here and don't move. Got it?
Roy: understood!
Lye: perfectly understood.
Louis: zzzzzzzzzzz
Sarah: good...
Sarah leaves the vehicle and does what she promised she would while Lye and Roy still gaze at the amazing architecture Subaru Natsukis World has. Shortly after she returns with an man clothed in blue. Lye and Roy look him up and down through the window and both their gazes first fall on the handcuffs he carries with him. It revives bad memories in them
Roy:so she wants to take us to gladiator island after all!
Lye: gladiator island shouldn't exist here tho....they probably have something similar atleast! Take Louis and run!
Listening to Lye,Roy grabs Louis and quickly opens the car door. They sprint away and it doesn't take long before the police officer chases after them. While weakened to a normal child due to the removal of their authority they still manage to run fast.
Roy: turn right! Into the mass of people.
Lye: okay. When we're in far enough go into some alley..
They do as said and manage to shake the police officer off. He scoffs and takes out his walkie talkie.
Officer: We have three kids on the run here. Around age 12-13. two of them have long black hair and olive skin. The third has pale white skin and blonde hair. They are hiding somewhere in the midst of Saitama.
Meanwhile only 50 meters away in alley Roy and Lye slump against the wall having placed Louis sleeping body on the ground using a garbage bag as a pillow for her.
Roy: that was close. We don't wanna imagine us let alone sister into slavery...
Lye: yeah....so we now know one thing. Don't trust the people in blue uniforms.....
Roy: huh.....hey lye? What's hanging out of your pocket there
Lye: Mh?
Lye takes the item he just only now noticed out of his pocket and gazes at it.
Lye: a key? With a note....
Roy: that's a street name! Together with an number too....Lets try to find that place. Whoever placed that in your pocket must've also summoned us here.
Lye:So you've also been having that feeling? Like as if we're summoned.
Lye gets into deep thought. He then snaps out of it tho since he has noticed Roy's staring.
Lye:it probably was ram....oh our dearest...
Roy: now thinking about it. What's your deal with her anyway? And what did you mean when you said you're alive again?
Lye: we'll explain that once Louis wakes up. So let's look for a map...
Roy: We suppose we are a little chaotic right now. It would be best to first ah look! Here next to that bench with the sign. There is one.
Roy says while pointing at a nearby bus station and its map
Lye: ohhh! Keen eye...let's see. While this language doesn't look familiar I can somehow still understand it. Probably also a side effect of our summoning....Ahhh we have to go there!
Lye says while pointing on a spot on the Map,leaving Roy amazed at his Skills
In the same moment somewhere in the heart of Shibuya in the midst of a nightclub a Woman with a daring purple black clothing and Orange blonde hair leans onto a bar table drinking her already third shot while sighing.
Capella: so. If I get this correct...I was simply doing my bussines as an archbishop and suddenly once I blinked I simply found myself on the street right before this shop. I looked around to find out Iam seemingly in another world and then entered this bar here. Now I have discovered that I have fully lost my authority and with the fact that this is a new world also all my love I already had? How sad....but meh. Old Relationships get boring quickly anyway....also new world new meatbags to love. Oh! How clumsy…I shouldn't talk about my ex's right infront of another potential lover now should I David?
David: look I'm just a worker here! My goodness...I can't believe you really managed to trick that poor guy into buying 3 drinks for you.
Capella laughs shamelessly at that and bends over till her and David's face are barely an inch apart
Capella: you're a funny one. You know this world might have its perks.
The Archbishop of Lust remarks truthfully while viewing her souroundings. Lap dances,big flashing lights,seemingly gigantic mirror metias that display different places in the world
Capella: you know,this Alcohol would be worth an fortune where I come from. Do I really look 16 already to be able to drink tho?
David: 16? Legal drinking age is 18 here missy.
Capella blinks in genuine confusion a rare sight of her
Capella: huhhhhh? And why did you let me take three shots then?
David: I'm an underpaid employee in the country known for the worst workplace conditions. As long as you pay you can be 12 hell I'd sell alcohol to a new born.
Capella: so you only did that for me? Isn't that love....I like you David. If I regain my Authority you'll be the first I'll make into my love pet!
David: sure sure....from now on I better stop giving you more shots.
Capella: Nevermind what I said,you're evil! So anyways. This country tell me a little about it...
David looks rather weirded out by her attitude but due to her orange hair and weird clothing simply assumes she is a tourist trying to do stupid smalltalk.
David: we are in Japan. An far Eastern country on the northern hemisphere. We are known for Sushi,Toyotas,Anime and War crimes. Atleast that's sadly what others think of us…Our economy is doing great. Our workers not so much. We have one of the world's highest suicide rates and many racist people are still walking around here.
Capella listens interested to his talk while playing with her top strap.
Capella: Japan huh? So I really got into another world....an country which does great financially and yet faces such problems? Reminds me of Vollachia.....so much people I should love....i was really blessed wasn't it? If this was the witches doing i'll temporarily take back what I said about her stupid book.
Capella simply sits there for the next hour and david treats the other customers of the nightclub. It doesn't take long till 3 guys around 18-20 years corner Capella
Capella: Mh? Oh hello! Didn't notice you Three. Uhhh I'll call you....Fat,Ugly and Small.
Fat: what the? Hey! We simply wanted to invite you for a night with us in our room.
Ugly: yeah exactly....you look lonely in a bar like this with no man. Don't tell me he left you hanging?
Capella: Not so far ago there was this guy with a helmet who left me hanging but I didn't expect him to appear here anyway.
Small: So you were left hanging after all? So come on. Get with us.
The man Capella named small boldly places his hand on her inner thigh. Capella rolls her eyes and simply kicks the guy straight into the face.
Capella: I don't mind being railed by several guys even if they're ugly but I don't want you to ogle my body as if you wanna ruin it. Others won't be able to use me if you do that! That's simply selfish. You're not that white haired moped head are you?
Somewhere in Minato
Regulus: why do I feel like someone is talking bad about me...
Back to Capella and her situation. Right when she said this the man declared as Small aimed for a punch straight at her. He was stopped by an bodyguard in last second tho. They grabbed the three men and dragged them outside while they were trying to resist and put the blame on Capella. When the body guards looked at her she was sobbing on the table
Capella: I-i feel so Violated! They didn't back off no matter how much I pleaded.....thank you so much for saving me Mister guard...
The orange haired woman exclaims in a flirtatious tone while pressing her ample blossom together. The guards falling for her charm bring the men outside the club immeadently.
Capella: atleast fooling men in this world is as easy.....no. Now where my bad reputation is gone even easier than in my world. And since mana doesn't seem to exist here or atleast my gate can't detect it nobody will know I'm an archbishop.....but first I need a place to properly stay in. Who knows where this key I found in my pocket leads to? Maybe I should seduce some guy to bring me there using those metallic carriages! HAHAHAHAHAH!
Capella laughs sheepishly while standing up from her chair wiping her crocodiles tears from before away and spinning said key on her index finger.
Not too far from that nightclub in a park near the coast of Tokyo several police reports have stacked about two weird individuals screaming loudly. Well most would have reacted the same when seing their long thought dead love back.
Sirius: BETELGEUSE! Oh Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse Betelgeuse Betelgeusebetelgeusebetelegeusebe-tel-geuseeeeeeeeeeeeeee! You're back! I knew it! An Unloving idiot like the black haired boy was could've never fully taken you. He may have taken our authority maybes, but atleast we have eachother again...
The silver haired mummy covered by a black cloak practically sobbed out all of this while clinging to the side of a green haired pale man wearing the same cloak. He tho doesn't seem happy about this situation.
Betelgeuse: MY BRAINNNNNNNNNNN TREMBLES! I can't can't can't can't believeeeeeee it! The witch. Ohhhh oh the witch. She has stopped her love to me. But why why why whyaaaaaa! Wasn't I a good follower. And all that even tho she reincarnated me into this new world full of full new chances! I. JUST. DONT. UNDER. STAND.
Betelgeuse whines while violently slamming his forehead into the metallic railing which is preventing them from falling into the sea. Sirius looks rather annoyed by his words and clinges stronger while muttering
Sirius: He only has eyes for the witch I can't believe it....
Betelgeuse: BUT! Atleast I have you here Sirius....my most loyal companion in our mission to ressurect the loving caring witch! This world is rather intriguing to say the least. My unseen hands and your Omnipotent love have been both been stolen! Oh how terrible! How incredibly TERRIBLE!
Sirius: terrible terrible terrible! But....i don't care about my powers as long as I have you with me.
Betelgeuse: but thennnn howwww will we resurrect the......
Unnecessary dramatic pause
Betelgeuse:WITCH!!!!
Sirius: well we could try and follow the directions on the note we had in our pockets with the key...orrrr we two can go on a long romantic walk around this extraordinary well kept park and view the ocean,the big grey stone buildings or maybe even eachother!
Betelgeuse: let's go to the Adress! Sirius,Follow me....we will get an transport and then head for the place on this note.
Sirius slightly sighs in yet again her usual annoyance but immeadently smiles again at the thought that she will maybe get to spend time with Betelgeuse in the same or atleast a similar living space depended on where the key leads to.
And so the Archbishop of Sloth Betelgeuse romaneé Conti. And the Archbishop of Wrath. Sirius romaneé Conti. Both make their way to the same place written on their notes the others have also gotten...at around 4 AM Japanese time they all arrive.
Regulus: You have to be kidding me how can it be that-
Roy: exactly! You should be dead. Dead! this is unappetizing ,even for someone like us.
Roy spits on the ground in genuine disgust
Lye: oh ram...must you put me through such hardships for me to prove my loyality?
Capella: You should be dead too lye! anyways so this world has it's Unloving sides too and I don't mean the suicides.
Capella says closing one of her eyes and looking at Regulus.
Capella:letting alone that mopped head why are you still alive?
While Regulus tilts his head wondering if he is meant with mopped head.Capella gazes at Betelgeuse with an indifferent bored expression
Betelgeuse: This must be a sign,the witch has done this!
Sirius: so many people here....cant we just kick them out and only we two stay hubby?
Regulus: Huh? And who exactly are you to decide this you bandaged piece of trash? Kicking me out even tho I have the key is an obvious violation of my ri-
Capella: oh shut up! We all have the same key. You just don't want to accept that this is ours and not only yours because you're unable to understand true love….which means serving me!
Regulus: let me finish my sentence next time woman! And I know love better than you a million times. After all I had over 200 wife's.
Capella: look who's talking. And how many of them did you pleasure limp dick?
Regulus: you wrench! I'll kill you for tha-
Halting Regulus with a small hand before him
Roy prevents him from advancing and punching Capella
Roy: can you just shut up and open the door already you two? We want to enter but the doorknob is too high for us!
Capella,Regulus: don't care. stay out of this you brat!
Lye's eye twitches when he sees how the others treat his brother.
Lye: Who do you guys think you are? You are always simply killing people instead of actually worshipping their life's shame. On. You! You incompetent fools. You don't know anything about love. It's when you fully know your other. Your partner. When you consume their memories….thats love
Sirius: even tho I hate him just as much as you guys I have to say he's right except the love part. Just everyone here leave and let me and Betelgeuse stay.
Lye: not in a million years!
Betelgeuse: guys guys. The witch! The witch! Has chosen us all to be here. That's true love. Therefor-
Roy: you're the only one who actually cares about the witch!
The first time here Betelgeuse gets mad at ragefully bites his fingers
Betelgeuse: how dare you....you are slothful Roy! Slothfullllllllll! You need to be punished. Punished punished punished. Even tho you received so much loveeeeee you still don't love the witch back! How terrible!!!!!!!
Betelgeuse slams his head against the brick wall...the fighting goes on and on and finally. The sleepy Archbishop on Roy's back wakes up too.
Louis: huh? What is...
Louis looks around taking the situation in..
Louis: What?! Betelegeuse? Regulus?! You two should be dead!
Regulus: Why is Everyone assuming Id die so easily!
Louis shrieks a little at the loud noise of his shouting and then goes back into deep thought. She looks around and analyzes the situation. She sighs and closes her eyes again.
Louis:......so..we all have to share an Appartement? ...I really….really….should've stayed in the hall of memories.....
And so the fighting between the Archbishop goes on....and on...and on.....to the point where they actually first opened the door 2 hours later. But that's a topic for next chapter.
