Isekai Tensei! Yuri!

Aries Kingdom Arc - Chapter 31: Bloodlust (1)

I am Seven Clavery, and today, I'm having a meal with the first person to have helped me in this world. And I also just finished my whole bottle of milk so praise me! It's actually quite hard gulping down milk for me since I only drink milk not because I liked it but rather because it has alot of body benefits.

"Hey Seven, mind if I ask? How have you been these past few months?"

Thalia-san asked with an expression saying she was really worried about me. Am I really the type who can't handle myself? So far I've been doing so splendidly so I guess that's something worth mentioning.

"I've been fine Thalia-san. I'm having the best time of my life and my adventures were really memorable."

I started to entertain her with my own share of experiences as we ate the fried beef steaks we ordered along with the beer.

At that point I was also having quite alot of fun telling them to her in utmost detail, the thing about the Dark General Garek I even told her. Even though the guild master told us to keep it a secret.

"A dark general... In the Star Continent?"

Thalia-san looked utterly panicked, sweat running down her cheek. What should I do?! I accidentally did something bad!

I started panicking in my mind too.

"The heroes must be summoned quickly then, this is an omen saying the Dark Lord will soon rise. We can't let something like that let loose in a peaceful haven like the Star Continent."

For some reason, I wasn't mostly concerned about the Dark Lord right now. I was more concerned about how Thalia-san really sounds like she's not from here. Perhaps it's because she's spent too much time in the other continent she works at.

The atmosphere started turning silent as soon as we stepped on the topic about the Dark Lord, since I don't know much about that concept yet, I better ask.

"By the way, what is the Dark Lord?"

"Hmm, many tales have been told from the Dark Lord's evil deeds. From ravaging countries, setting fire to human lands and the worst part, annihilating half of the population of this world. Legends say he's the true hero of this world who keeps the balance of hierarchy and population as is."

Woah, so he's like this world's guardian deity who gets killed by the human heroes while trying to protect it? Sounds like... Should I just become a part of the Dark Lord's army at this point? He sounds like a good guy.

"There is even a religion wholely dedicated to the Dark Lord."

"What? There is?!"

I was taken aback by her continuance. So it does look like I'm not the only one who thinks he's a good guy.

"Indeed. They're a group of cultists who seek to revive the Dark Lord. They're not even afraid of dying, saying it's all for the sake of this world. Such samaritans."

That's so cool! Should I join their cult too? Just kidding, I have no intention to die specially when that Dark Lord whatever might be so powerful I'd die before even using my cheat, add to that I'm not a samaritan.

Thalia-san continued, looking amused at her own storytelling already.

"Since he comes back every 200 years, all the nations globally summon their own share of heroes to protect their territories. Whichever nation's hero loses to the Dark Lord must watch their people perish. Meanwhile there are countries who mobilize an alliance of heroes to fight against the Dark Lord and defeat him before anything even happens to their nation. They're mostly the ones that survive the most."
