Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 88 - NOW WE HAVE AN OVER BLOATED CAST

PHASE 88 - NOW WE HAVE AN OVER BLOATED CAST

After having that dream, I made the best course of action, which is to tell my friends everything about my incoming <Presage>. I’ve learned my lessons, and I can’t have myself being ganged up by my own allies once again.

Since it involves a thousand dead persons, we suspected that it will be the end result of the incoming Christmas Raid. Amy and I reported my visions via video chat to the Legion Master Amanda Cryst. We had several arguments just to convince her to suspend the raid.

But instead, I’m the one that they convinced. They raised the point that my <Presage> is not a future event, but just a mere warning. Most of the presages have been prevented by making some countermeasures.

Besides, my Guardian Ability has a 50% error margin based on the persons who lived and died.

Persons who actually died: 4 (Chrisprel, Ranley, Daughty, and Helena)

Persons who are supposed to die but lived: 4 (Tiara, Heushac, Mister Kent, and Jeannette)

So the conclusion: the Christmas Raid will go on. They will just conduct the operation a lot more careful, and our group will actively participate as a support unit.

To do our job better and to give us a lot more impact in the fight, Amy requested for new members that would add some firepower to the team.

We are here in the Kozukata Shrine Conference room. Our team is getting bloated, so Heushac’s house wouldn’t be good as our base of operations.

So there are four new members of the Aether Crusade...

First is this pink-haired girl who is wearing a maid dress, giving us a stiff salute and straight face. She’s about 5’3 in height, just slightly taller than Amy. She has this so-so face but I think she’s already considered cute by most guys.

“I”m Emily Terronette! Nice to meet all of you! You can call me Eli! It’s an honor to work with the Aether Crusade!”

Suddenly, the new lady turned to me. Her eyes became a full heart and giving me a creepy blush! She jumped to me and held my hand. She even had her face sparkling.

“I-I-I think this is fate! That’s right! I’m a victim of love at first sight!”

“I’m sorry, I’m legally blind.”

“Ah~” Emily cried, but I think it’s more of a moan. “You already captured my heart~”

“A masochist.” I cringed.  “Why do garbage girls keeps flocking on me-Pwahak!”

A right straight went to my nose! Guess who did that!?

The second one is this antisocial who’s wearing a square-framed glasses and an anime-emo hair. He’s just a few centimeters taller than Amy.

“My name is Benedict Hamerov, and I… thank you…” He shyly turned to his back. His voice is unbelievably deep for a shy person!

The third member is a familiar face. He looks like a rocker with spiky orange hair and various piercing on his ears. Just your typical thug who gets beaten up in movies. Oh, he’s the culprit in the hot spring chapters.

“...Ey yo! I’m Drex Brynheim. You already know me because you guys saved me from my curse! So I wanted to pay my debts to this group! Glad to meet you all, homies!”

“Wow, you look a lot more polite than you look,” Amy commented. “That exorcism really removed all the evil things in you.”

Drex just turned away to hide his face. Maybe he has a thing for Amy too…
