REINCARNATION SIM GAME - Chapter 87 87 – Akaimajo

I know there is another way to complete this mission. I could have asked my servants to side with the demons instead. Like in the third mission, I could have Elise join the drug farm cartel.

But won’t that affect Elise and Yua? I have no power to choose a bad or good candidate. It’s just a coincidence that they don’t have evil hearts.

Elise came out of the cloud of fog while carrying Yua with both hands. I approached the female warrior and took over the kunoichi.

“Sir Raymund…” Yua sighed in a weak voice. “Forgive me….”

“You’re not guilty,” I answered while carrying her towards Elise’s shrine. “I should be the one apologizing for sending you guys without considering things.”

“No one died on the guard’s side,” Elise added.

Yua opened his eyes slightly. “Oh, good.”

The condition of the kunoichi made me sad. However, instead of Yua dying because of the demon, it would be better if she died because of the drug. If a demon kills Yua, then that woman is really dead. However, if she loses her life due to drugs, she can be resurrected here. So, I let Yua take that damned pill a lot.

I would have preferred that at that time, I could immediately take Elise and Yua here, but once Tamaki appeared in his demon form, I couldn’t do that.

This game screwed me up again._.

“I’ll borrow your room, Elise,” I asked the female warrior.

Elise nodded. “It’s okay, sir.”

I entered Elise’s shrine and put Yua into the only room there.

“Take it easy.” I put the kunoichi on the bed. “After you recover, you will have to serve the punishment.”

The kunoichi chuckled. “Because of what I did to those people?”

I didn’t answer and turned to face Elise. “You also get some rest, Elise. But first, tie up your dog first.”

Mona, has become small again, just barking a little.

The female warrior nodded. “All right, sir.”

“Before you go, I have a question, sir.” Yua had a bit of trouble speaking due to her ragged breathing.

“What’s that?” I replied without looking at her.

The kunoichi was silent until she finally let out a sigh. “Ah, just forget it, sir.”

“It’s about Taka, right?” I asked again. “When you came back here, I heard he was still alive, but they didn’t believe he would survive his injuries.”

“I see…”

An ominous feeling felt like it hit deep inside my chest. “Hey, Yua. You know what it means to be my servant, right?”

“Of course, I know, sir.”

From the tone of her voice, I could tell that she was smiling.

“Well….” My mind was filled with a few sentences, but I couldn’t get them out. I don’t know what the woman’s response will be.

So, I chose to walk away without another word.

Yua and Elise are mines. I won’t let anyone else destroy….

I stopped my steps when I was out of the temple. My mouth formed a bitter grin. Why is it getting harder for me to keep myself from being too attached to those women?

“Errrr…. What are you doing, sir?” Elise, going to put the leash on her dog, asked.

I looked at that woman, then widened my smile. “Nothing. I’m just glad your mission was a success. Thank you.”

I walked again.

***

My two servants and Mona are already asleep. I sat near the magic pond, using the fast forward feature to wait for Yamaya’s call.

“Good morning, Raymund-sama?” The priestess greets me after I press the call icon that lights up.

“Ah, it’s already morning there, huh?” According to my calculations, two days have passed since that incident. “We’d better get started. Maybe you’re busy. I have a few questions.”

“What is it?”

“It’s about the Akaimajo that Tamaki mentioned back then. Do you have any information about her?”

The priestess was silent for a moment. “Her? Are you assuming it’s a woman? We don’t know their gender yet, but we’ve always thought Akaimajo was a man.”

“In the west, there’s a famous magic user named Scarlet wizard, and people there think she’s a woman,” I explained. “Perhaps my analysis is wrong and meaningless. However, Akaimajo means red magic user in my language, which is almost the same as the word Scarlet wizard.”

In the country where Yamaya lives, the language used is similar to modern Japanese. But, everything is automatically translated into languages that my servants and I understand, except for honorifics and names.

And the nickname Akaimajo is not translated into our language. Maybe it’s just names like Kurosaki and Yamaya, but I’m still interested in interpreting it. It was the name Tamaki shouted, after all. So, I did a little research.

“S-sukarretto Wizaddo?” Yamaha had a hard time spelling that sentence.

“Scarlet is one of the shades of red.” I continued my words. “I heard the term scarlet wizard when Elise was on an assignment to a country in the west. A mage…. Well, a former mage…. She mentioned the scarlet wizard, and she adores her very much.”

Yamaya sighed. “No one knows who the Akaimajo is. The demons don’t want to say who she is, despite all the methods of interrogation we’ve used. I only found out now that she’s probably a woman and has been in the west. The only rumors we heard were she likes to experiment with the human body. She seduces humans in various ways to make them want to be specimens.”

“So, one of the experiments is to turn humans into demons?”

“Well, she took the essence of the existing demon and infused it into the human body with a mysterious method.” Yua continued her explanation. “As for the other experiments, I don’t know…. And that’s all we know about Akaimajo.”

“Is there no other information?”

The priestess took a deep breath. “I’m so sorry, Raymund-sama. The seal on my tongue has been removed, so I’m not going to lie. I really don’t know anything else…. And would you mind sharing any other information you have?”

“Ah, sorry, what I know is also limited. Unlike what you think, a god is not that powerful. I am not omniscient.”

I’ve contacted Renee, but she doesn’t know much about the scarlet wizard either. She only knew that the woman was a great magic-user.

“If there’s nothing more to say, I’ll take my leave, Raymund-sama,” Yamaya said.

“Take care.”

My heart feels conflicted. On the one hand, I find the storyline in this game become more interesting. However, this development might do something dangerous for my servants.
