Zero Promises (Hyperdimension Neptunia X Male Reader)

Part 4

???: We can tell half of these monsters are our own demons yet... We don't know where the rest come from...

Uzume: We have a situation!

Nepgear: Oh no! (Y/N)!

Neptune: Huh, what a way to start the chapter.

Uzume: Eh?

Neptune simply pointed at the ground in front of her to find your fallen body as well as the fact that your face was injured. Nepgear knelt beside you to check to see if you were find until you began to speak.

(Y/N): *groans* Pretty sure that could've killed an ordinary human... All I wanted was a drink...

You pulled yourself together as you slowly stood up to soothe the pain from your face.

Uzume: *chuckle* Sorry.... I didn't think anyone was directly on the other side.

Neptune: So what's up?

Uzume: I just received a call that Umio is in trouble! I need to get out there to save him!

Nepgear: Oh, then let us help!

Uzume was quite thankful for Nepgear lending a hand to save her friend.

Neptune: Then we're going too! Isn't that right, (Y/N)?

You only shrugged in response but everyone knew that you were already willing to help Uzume. So the girl smiled as she kept her tough personality in front of the others.

Uzume: Alright! Then let's get going!

One Long Walk Later

(Y/N): I could have saved them... Instead all I did was watch as three of the four sisters were burned alive... Why...? How could I let this happen?!

You were currently walking inside Coral Station with the others in search of Uzume's friend, Umio. While the others were practically shouting his name as they looked around, you simply observed the surroundings. It was supposed to be an abandoned station yet the area remained undamaged, of course it was also filled with monsters around every corner.

Neptune: (Y/N)! Come on, help us out!

(Y/N): I thought I already was helping...

Neptune: Not good enough! You should also call out to him like the rest of us!

(Y/N): Sorry, not exactly my type of thing... Besides... I can already sense something powerful nearby...

Nepgear: Can you pinpoint the exact location?

You only shrugged since you weren't able to find the source, however you noticed that the negative energy originated from above.

(Y/N): Only thing I know is that it is upstairs...

Neptune: Well what are we waiting for?!

The small goddess quickly took charge as she ran towards the nearest set of stairs while Nepgear followed.

Nepgear: Wait! Neptune!

Uzume was about to follow behind until you suddenly placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her in place. She turned around to question your sudden action until she thought she noticed your eye glowing red until it reverted to normal as soon as she blinked.

(Y/N): What was that... "Cute" act you did earlier? I sensed that there was something more to it...

Uzume: Huh? What are you talking about? That's just...

You looked at her eyes as she lightly blushed from embarrassment about the "cute" attitude, however she knew nothing of your other sentence. There was something off since the things that she have spoke during her episode have practically came true.
