The Consequences Of Envy (Hololive Fanfiction)

Fashion and Horror Pt. 1

Sitting down against the same tree from yesterday, Envy finally relaxes and falls asleep soon after.

...The bars of a cage fill his view. He's alone... everyone else had already been sold... not even as a slave is he wanted...

"...Why can't you be more useful, eh? You're just a fucking waste of space! You little shit... I'm sick o' filling empty space with ya... y'know what? Let's fix you up, eh?! "

The man opens his prison and pulls him out by the wrist before grabbing him by the back of the neck and taking him outside to the shooting range, throwing the boy to the ground. The man takes a bow from the rack.

"Stand the fuck up, kid. You're the target."

He does as told, struggling but doing it all the same as the man takes aim. A shot to the right shoulder, then the left... The boy didn't even make a sound. Pain is nothing new anymore, but regardless of that fact... he's jealous... envious. he wants to make him feel it too. He wants that man to hurt too... to feel regret in living. In feeling.

"...It isn't fair..." The boy thought as he grit his teeth. Another shot aimed at his stomach.

"...Say goodbye, kid. Maybe you should've been a little more useful."

The boy says nothing in response... The man lets go of the string. Even if it's the end... In his mind, for a split second, the boy imagined the man being pierced by his own arrow. Oh, the irony of that were it to be possible... and, as if make-believe, exactly that happened. The boy's eyes sprung to life as he watched the newly made corpse fall backwards, hitting the gro-

"Haah!" A sharp inhale leaves Envy's mouth as he leaves the land of dreams, being met with the presence of two familiar girls, startled by his sudden action, as they crouch in front of him while dressed in clothing far more casual than their usual appearance.

"...You two... Why are you here?"

"...'Good morning!' is what you usually say, but let's forget about that. We need you for something." Says Mumei.

"We're setting up to go to a haunted house with one of our friends, but she doesn't wanna come with us... so we decided to get you to get her riled up so we can all go to the haunted house together~" explains Fauna with a smile.

"...Is this a part of my duty?"

"Mhm, we've talked about this with YAGOO and he said it's fine since nobody's going anywhere today." Reassures Miss Owl.

"...alright. Where is your friend?"

"At HQ. Go to the second floor, in the second room to find her!"

"Mumei, take it slow. First we need to give him proper clothes! You know how Kronii is!"

Mumei looks at Envy's outfit.

"A coat... Watson's coat? Okay... And burnt pants... Fauna's right. Kronii likes perfection. She won't agree to come with unless someone matches her own and has the pride to follow up..."

"...Okay, in that case we need to go shopping!"

"... understood."

At that time, Envy thought it wouldn't be a problem... He was wrong, so wrong.

~~~~~

A few hours later and Envy can be seen walking out of a shop wearing, as well as holding quite a... few clothes. Dressed up in a black hoodie, black jeans, black Nike shoes, and for contrast, a white long sleeved shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbow under the hoodie. Two lavish ladies walk out of the store behind him, one holding Amelia's coat while the other has Envy's leather pants, looking for somewhere to discard them.

~~~~~

After a short walk and short trip to the dumpster, the three are in front of Hololive HQ.

"Well, Envy. I hope you manage to 'reel' her in. We'll be going ahead. Kronii knows where the haunted house is by the way~" Fauna says before turning to Mumei and walking off, chatting together.

"...Thanks." without another word, he walks through the doors, yet again confused by how they work. He only manages to take a few steps before bumping into a girl eating a sandwich.

"Hey, watch where you're going."

"...I'm looking for a girl named Kronii."

She stops eating her sandwich as she looks him up and down.

"...That's me. Why do you ask?"

"...I'm going to the 'haunted house' with Fauna and Mumei, but we need someone else." Despite not even knowing what a haunted house is, Envy plays it off and acts like he knows. At the same time, Fauna realizes she never told Envy what a haunted house is, but she just dismisses it.

"...who are you? I don't know you, do I?"

"...My name is Envy."

"Oh, Yeah. YAGOO told us about you. Tell me, do you know who I am?"

"...no. just your name."

"Well, in that case... Let me introduce myself! I'm Ouro Kronii, the time warden. The one who maintains time! Now, tell me... aren't I perfect?"

"...No, you're not."

Kronii's eyes darken as she stares into his own.

"...what did you say?"

"...I said you aren't perfect."

Envy leans closer, towering over her as his eyes turn black ever so slightly.

"...Why don't we have a little duel, hm? To see who's better. Loser does whatever the winner says."

"...No. I have to go to the 'haunted house' with Fauna and Mumei."

"Hmm... In that case, let's see who gets scared first... At the haunted house! We'll still have the duel though, sooner or later!"

"...Alright."

Kronii quickly finishes her sandwich and starts walking towards the location while Envy follows closely behind. Along the way, Envy himself snatches some food. He hasn't eaten in two days after all.

Finally there, the four are now together as they enter... The tour of the haunted house has begun.
