Beast of Calamity (old)

chapter 12- together

~Y/n Pov~

"Sir Zelretch, may I ask what you wanted from me?" I asked in a polite tone, my stance switching to what I would call 'business mode'

"oh, nothing complex, you see, there is an anomaly occuring in this nation, and I can't really spend the time to fix it, so I wish to hire you to fix it for me" Explained Zelretch in a calm yet seriously tone, his eyes looking at me with a twinkle of amusement in them

"I see, then, I will have to ask, what will we get out of this?" I asked, I was already in his vision, and I'm not a magician, so if he's gonna be using me to do his work, then I might as well get something out of it

"other than the stability of the timeline in which you currently live in? I will take you and anyone you take under your name under my wing, you will officially be my subordinates, with all the pros it would give, I will also give you a magician's knowledge on a single topic you two wishes to specialize in, and the funds to research it" Zelretch listed down with a nonchalant expression, as if he didn't just offer something most mages would willingly cut an entire city population's head off with a dull switchblade for

"... what's the catch?" I asked, this was too good to pass up, which is why I had to go informed, I will accept of course, but I still needed information

"simple, your existence has destabilized the timeline too much, and as such, I want you to kill all the upper moons and muzan before the family known as the Kamado gets killed" stated Zelretch, making my jaws hang out in shock, from what I know, that's.... two and a half years at most

"... you know how difficult that is right?" I asked rhetorically

"yes, which is why I'm giving this to you" he replied, tossing a compass fused with a timer towards me through the rip

342 km, North

2 years, 5 months, 3 weeks, 3 days

"with that, you'll be able to find the weakest one and start from there, while I know you've already defeated Akaza, you're not prepared for the stronger ones, so eat the weaker ones and get stronger" explained Zelretch, giving me an encouraging smile that would've almost reminded me of a trustable old man if he hadn't set me up on a quest

"I... see, then we will have to depart early if what I'm seeing is correct" I stated, still looking at the time

"yes, now go, I'll be watching" stated Zelretch before the rip closed, leaving nothing behind

I closed my eyes and began to think, the first thing I have to do is to kill Daki and Gyutaro, and I'll have to sever Mukago's link to Muzan if that were the case

"Mukago, would you be okay with me linking you to me through blood? by doing so, you will be free from Muzan's curse, and thus be free" I asked, looking at her in the eyes, as necessary as this is, I don't want this to be non-consensual

"I.... want to be your wife, I want to be the one whom will stay with you until the end, I love you.." Mukago began, looking down, not noticing me gaping like a fish

"so if this is something that'll help us in the long run, then I accept" she stated, looking at me resolutely, as I stared at her, speechless at her declaration

"I...." I couldn't even form a word, I had experienced an unrequited love (courtesy of Ibaraki), but never in my life would I ever think someone would ever confess to me, as such my brain couldn't respond to such a shock

"... I see, then allow me to accept, from this moment forward you're mine, and I'm yours" I stated, holding hack a tear I never knew I could ever shed, after all, even before reincarnation, I was pretty sure I was someone inhuman
