"An unlucky one. Well, have a chance to live, or die."
I wake up open my eyes to the golden hour of the sun, and realize I'm laying down in a pool of blood.
'My body hurts... whose blood is this? Oh, it's mine. Whose voice was that...?'
I get a sense of my surroundings and pick up my triangle nearby along with what seems to be a note.
The content reads, "The triangle will help you, and it'll help some special weapons activate, although you might never get one. I'll be going out, just exit through the 2nd-floor window or something. -Suisei"
'How annoying...'
I pick myself up and check for injuries and my dagger. No injuries, one dagger. I'm good to go. Now where do I start... maybe Shion's house. I open the window and look down.
Okay, around 5 meters up. I pocket the triangle and jump with slight hesitation and land on one leg. 'Wait, why am I being cautious? I have improved regenerative abilities don't I?'
I wait for Shion to teleport me back, to do an impossible mission with no idea how to do it.
I always tell her to teleport me back a few hours later. Knowing her, she must've slept before teleporting me. Even though, It always takes just a few seconds to do it...
An hour later
I walk up to the bookshelf I was at before I scouted the place for my triangle. I grabbed random books off the shelf in an attempt to find the book about that cube.
After some time, I managed to find it. I flipped to the page about the cube and quickly skimmed through it. 'Great. Time to head to some place called the... Artifact Realm? Great. Can't wait, to see... all those... artifacts. Yup.'
...
30 minutes later.
Shion: I don't know what you're asking of me. I mean... you're literally asking me to send you to God. Also, take this, you reek.
She throws me a black lab coat with purple lining. She continues sitting down. Taking a sip of her sparkling water while looking out the window, away from me. The side of her face that was still visible was showing signs of anxiousness.
That caused me to feel the same. Looking at this easy-going brat look so tense, gave me chills. But nonetheless
Y/n: Come on. How hard could this mission possibly be?
I put on the coat while staring at Shion with nervousness as she puts down her glass of water.
Shion: Okay. I'll try to find a way to send you to... limbo... or whatever.
Y/n: Oh. Thanks!
Shion: Yeah. Yeah. Now get outta here. I wanna enjoy my sparkling water in peace.
I exit the room and go on to find help on my quest.
'Great. Now time to steal from Shion's archives that map.'
Shion: That guy.
Underworld Student, Murasaki Shion
Shion: He's going to die isn't he? There's nothing I can really do. Well, if he's actually going through with this. He must be crazy. Escape or die. How the story always goes.
I pick up the phone and call someone.
Houshou Pirates' subordinate homeport
A maid girl picks up the phone.
?: H... hello?
Shion: Neee! Aqua! Do me a favor!
Aqua: Shion?! Do it yourself! You're definitely going to ask me to do something that I wouldn't enjoy! What is it?! Something annoying!? I bet this is just to spite me!
