(YN)'s steps stopped abruptly. Startling Paimon and Aether who was right behind him. "What's wrong?" Aether asked, walking towards to stand beside (YN). Aether saw the troubled expression on (YN)'s face. Aether can tell that the male was distressed about something but Aether doesn't know what. Can (YN) feel the monsters approaching? Are there monsters around? Scanning the surroundings, there weren't any kind of creatures that would harm them. Not even a geo slime nor a dendro slime hiding. 

"We're taking a detour." (YN) grabbed Aether and put him on his shoulder and grabbed Paimon, pressing her into his chest. Not wanting to take the risk of her falling off of his hold.

"W-wait! Paimon wants to know where we're going!" Paimon struggled to get out of (YN)'s hold but it was deemed useless when the man's hold was too tight. Or too strong. That or she was too weak. 

(YN) didn't answer and just ran towards to gods knows where. Aether and Paimon may not know where they are going but there is one thing that they are sure of. That is, (YN) can sure run fast. Faster than they thought he could. Dust clouds trailing behind them. Aether had to cover his nose and mouth to prevent those dust from coming inside him. It didn't take long before (YN) had stopped and put Aether and Paimon down.

Aether stood up and dusted himself off before turning around. He saw an opening to a cave. "You two can either wait or come with me. Depends on you." (YN) jogged into the cave. Not waiting for a single chance to hear a comment from either Paimon and Aether. The two glanced at each other before deciding to just follow (YN) inside.

"Oi! Wait for Paimon and Aether!"

Inside the cave wasn't as quiet as they thought it would be. There were screams, shouts, and even sounds like a bottle shattering down on the ground. Cries of pain bouncing off the walls of the cave. "What do you think happened?" Aether asked but Paimon didn't give an answer. How could she? She doesn't know what's happening either. Just a few more steps and they finally saw (YN)'s back.

"(YN)!" Aether called out to the god. But a familiar pressure crept up. But it wasn't as strong as the one when they had first met. Creeping up slowly towards (YN), Aether was able to peek in front of.

His breath hitched. Smelling the scent of strong alcohol had reached to his nose. The cries from earlier were now more prominent and louder than it already was. In front of them were clothes thrown around recklessly. Men and women getting touched, kissed, and touched more intimately. A horrible sight really. To see so many people ganging up on one person and some were already tossed to the side and passed out.

Aether wanted to puke out and Paimon already did.

"What are you doing?" (YN)'s voice, although soft, had echoed despite in the sea of disgusting moans and pitiful cries. The people who were playing around glanced towards (YN), some pulling out and stuffing their cocks back into their pants.

"We're having fun! Isn't i ---" Before the man could even finish his sentence, a vine had appeared from the ground and had sliced his head off of his neck. The vine was thick at the bottom and very thin at the tip. Slithering towards from the ground like a snake striking for its prey.

The other men and the victims were alarmed. Frightened at this sight. And before anyone could do anything, (YN)'s fake vision shone and multiple vines appeared from the ground and sides of the cave. Immediately attacking the people that had their so-called 'fun'. The smell of blood filling up the whole room as the red metallic liquid had sprayed all over the place like a fountain. Blood decorating the ground and there was splattered on the walls. Entrails were cut into tiny bits of pieces and limbs were flying all over the place as the vines had caught ahold of them.

The people who were still conscious had stood still. Not knowing whether they would be thankful for saving them or be frightful of the man in front of them. And Aether and Paimon also wondered that. Knocking the men and handing them to the Millelith would suffice but to outright kill them? This is a side of (YN)'s that they did not expect to see. 

(YN), on the other hand, was not fazed by the smell of blood nor to see body parts all chopped up and internal organs. Turning around to leave, someone had stopped him. "W-wait! Sir (YN)!" Hearing the familiar voice, (YN), Aether, and Paimon and saw Rosamie. Her clothes have hurriedly been put on. Tear tracks were clear on her face and her legs were shaking as it supported her own weight.

"I... I want to thank you for saving us!" she said, bowing down. The others, who were conscious, also stood up (despite their weak legs) and bowed down.

"When we were doing the mass, these people had shown up and... and forced themselves on us! And I tried protecting them! But... but..." Rosamie's sobs made her cut herself off. Not able to control the fear that crept up and the shame that dwelled inside her.

Alchemy can be used offensively. She knows this. But she wasn't able to protect herself or her own people. How can she be the best of her family that they have ever seen since their family was established when she couldn't protect her own people. That's shameful. That's bringing shame to her family and to the gods that she serves.

"Why are you crying?" Rosamie met (YN)'s gaze.

"In fact, why are you blaming yourself? This time has not met any war nor have they met the hardships of the past. Not even the so-called disaster of Stormterror nor the resurrection of Osial can compare to what happened in the past. So of course you wouldn't know. You did not experience any hardships because most are gone now. So to have you experience this, just means that your so-called Gods are not doing their best to protect you. Best of you to stop believing in them." 

Rosamie was, somehow, comforted at what (YN) had said. But... to insult on the two beings that she had put her faith in was too much. It's crossing the lines.

"Kojutsu and Koumei had protected us! Their people! And the Agape Family for centuries! Even when Koumei had left us, their brother, Kojutsu, is still protecting us! They gave blessings! And even medicines directly to the Agape Family in the dead of the night! Even new findings that they found themselves! How can you say that we should stop believing in him!?" Rosamie knew that she shouldn't shout at the person that had saved them. But she doesn't get what (YN) was saying. How can she stop believing in what she believed in since the day that she was born?

She'd rather die than stop believing in the two gods that she puts her faith in.

"If you don't want to stop believing... then be reminded of this day as your failure and the reason why you want to improve yourself, Rosamie. It's better to have guilt and regrets than to live in a life of tranquility."

okay so... this chapter was very much different from what i intended to write. it would be some bastards just threatening to beat Rosamie and the others up and kojutsu got mad when they, like, damaged a bit of koumei's statue. but i cant really see kojutsu getting really mad over that so i went for something more severe but i have never thought that it would be this severe....

yea... anways, i have another work coming up. kaeya x m!reader. the title really dont make sense but its all fluff. i hope.
