The wild card(Slow Updates)

Filo and zed

The five heroes stood in the throne room, the king sitting on his throne, speaking out to them.

Melromarc: "as reward for your efforts during the wave and for fulfilling my request, Tennyson will receive 5,000 silvers"

A woman walks up, and hands y/n a bag filled with his prize.

Melromarc: "Motoyasu will receive 4,000"

Another woman hands Motoyasu of his own prize.

Melromarc: "and itsuki and ren will receive 3,800"

A man and woman each hand itsuki and ren their bags.

Melromarc: "and as agreed upon, I have set aside 500 silvers for the shield..."

A woman holds out his prize, but the king spoke up again, stopping naofumi from grabbling it.

Melromarc: "however.. it's offset by the cost of freeing his slave from her curse, he will receive no funds this time"

Itsuki: "that's not going to fly. You interfered in his duel, dispelled the.. slave crest, was it? And now you refuse to pay him what he deserves?"

Ren: "right? If you'd followed the rules, naofumi and Tennyson clearly would've won the duel"

Motoyasu: "wha- I didn't lose!"

Myne: "you are mistaken-"

Y/n: "can you like... Shut up?"

Myne: "eh?!"

Y/n: "look.. I know the fight itself was unfair because it was a two on one... But that was Motoyasu's fault for challenging both of us. He was dumb enough to believe I couldn't use my weapon. And before you used magic to distract me and naofumi, we clearly won"

Ren: "Tennyson has a point. Besides, while the three of us were dealing with the boss, Tennyson and naofumi were the ones who defended the village in the knights stead"

Y/n: "thank you Ren! Now! Mr. Melromarc.. I believe naofumi deserves to be compensated in his work! Don't wanna have the guantlet hero against the kingdom now, do you?~"

Y/n smirked, as the king began to sweat. Clearing his throat, the king spoke.

Melromarc: "v-very well.. I shall afford him the minimum agreed amount"

Naofumi is handed the bag once again, to which he snatched it from the woman's hand.

Melromarc: "you have it, so begone already!"

Y/n: "that ain't the way to treat the ones who're saving your world~ such a terrible king~"

Y/n smirked again, showing his teeth.. or what seemed more like fangs, before turning around, and walking away.

Y/n: "let's go naofumi, we should get out of here. Raphtalia, looma, you too!"

Following behind, the group exit the throne room, with naofumi sighing.

Naofumi: "I still don't think that was necessary"

Y/n turns around, as his eyes suddenly turn red. Looma lifts up her cloak, as a second y/n walks out from under it.

Y/n: "I know.. but I didn't wanna stand in front of a bunch of people again.. thanks for covering zed"

With a nod, the red eyed y/n suddenly bursts into smoke, as in its place was zed. With a smile, y/n pets her head.

Naofumi: "she's been getting good at that"

Y/n: "right?! It's so good! Who's a good girl? Who's a good girl?"
