[Inizio!:Masters Thoughts]
Leonel (Master) POV:
A kid with black Hair And Platinum Silver Eyes...
just like my mentor...
The First man to Get to [100th] floor of Vlad's Keep...
Lord ######
"How nostalgic~"
"Oi old shit, the hell You babling to yourself about?"
what a rotten personality, it's Just like my mentor's when we were always both alone training
damn It teach' just where are you now?
ahhh man~ let's forget all about this for now and just train the Kid
"Oi Stop getting distracted Old Fart!!!"
He swings his [Bakunawa] attacking me like a hammer crushing the ground
"Why are you Still so Weak?, Come and Try a Little bit Harder~"
Is what I say but damn-
ISN'T THIS KID TOO STRONG FOR THE AGE OF 13 ALREADY?!
Everyday with his workouts. he does this weird Movements he calls Push-ups, Sit-Ups and some more what-ever-ups
I thought it was just random bullshit but as the days went by watching him do a hundred of those everyday
His Stamina grows, His Body Becomes more Flexible, His Reflexes becomes more Nimble...
Truth be told, He's just a monster
He has such High Physical Combat Potential that he can copy anything I do at only a single Glance of course not perfectly but he can still do My techniques
"Ok Kid My turn to attack, Don't dodge ok~"
"I'LL DIE IF I DONT DOGE!!!"
I ready my Double edged Sword tighten my grip on it while mixing some earth magic on it to make it weigh more heavier and...THREW IT STRAIGHT AT HIM!
"Huh? what did you...SAY!"
But even tough he's a monster when it comes to physical combat...his magic Potential is as low as can be
"WHAT THE F*CK! I'M REALLY GONNA DIE IF YOU KEEP DOING UNCALLED SHIT LIKE THAT!"
I poke my head and pull out my tongue sticking to left side while winking at him
"Oops my hand slipped, tehee!"
"DON'T TEEHEE ME AND ACT ALL CUTESY!!!"
He starts chasing me as soon as I started to run away from my House's Backyard(Training Ground)
"Ahhhh what a wonderful new start for today~"
If only mentor could see this child
I'm sure they would surely get along just fine~

[Coro!:Preparation is half the Battle]
Gray/Matsuri POV:
Walking at the Middle of the streets with Both Tofu and Leviathan We Make our way to the Business district of [Josiah Village] where our sweet's shop,
[Fragola pâtissière]
where the Dessert(strawberry) shop I manage is located
Arriving at the back door where the sweet's are being produced
"Morning Everyone!"
I smile at the employees acting like a proper model and a kind boss for them
"MORNING HONCHOU!!!"
Ahhhh~ music to my ears, If only the old man was as assertive as my staff~
"Staff I have a new Proposal for a new Item for Today"
"Ohhh~ so that's why honchou came, despite being busy!"
yeahh...no, I just came cause the old bastard was so annoying
"E-eh yeah...Ahum' and so This Is the new item's ingredients and procedures!"
I show them the paper written with detailed instructions on how to make...
"Strawberry...Loh-lee-pup? what's that boss"
"It's pronounced Lollipop 1st Manager"
wait...Did he just say he didn't know what a lollipop is?!
"a lollipop is those tiny little bite sized balls that are stuck on a little stick to suck on, You guys didn't know?"
"AS EXPECTED OF HONCHOU!"
"HONCHOU'S MIND CAN'T EVEN BE CALCULATED AT THE SAME LEVEL AS US"
"THERE'S NO ONE AS INNOVATIVE AS HONCHOU IN THIS WORLD"
I can guess they don't even know what lollipop's look or even taste like
"OF COURSE HE'S THE NIGHT HERO [Croù] AFTER ALL" (Tl:Crow)
Damn it...that embarassing title they decided for themselves
when I destroyed every Bandit And Bandit Hideout staying at [Josiah Village] in the past the people started to call me [Croù] or the [Night Hero]
these people...my trusted staff...I got them when I raided the most notorious bandit Hideout here on [Josiah Village]
it was a long time ago but they still remember it huh...
well I can't blame them...if I didn't go stop the bandits, they would have been chopped off to pieces and got sold as slaves
for the most common business for bandits is human traficking...
what a cruel world...at first I viewed and thought of everything in this world as just a game world...
but I also stopped thinking like everything is a game back then...because they are people too...they have feelings and Emotions too...they are living beings too...
"I-if Honchou wouldn't have saved us back then...I-i wouldn't know what would have happened to us...Hic..."
So say's the Oldest and the Acting second hand for me while crying...Greg
"Come on Greg...I mean First Manager , stop that already, It's been a long time already its not a big deal"
to be honest, It was just an accidental stumble when Tofu and I trained there anyway
"No Honchou, For you it may be something as little as that, but If you wouldn't have saved us..."
"Ah geeez fine I get it!"
Stop it already the praises are too embarassing you know!
"If Honchou woud ever need our help, We are all ready to lay our lives down for you to repay this debt, You even taught us how to fight with martial arts and be stronger to protect what we want to protect"
AHHHHHH DAMN IT WHY ARE YOU STILL CONTINUING ITS PLENTY EMBARASSING ALREADY STOP ITTT!!!
"And So that thing that we all decided to protect...Is Honchou's Everything!!!"
"YEAH!!!"
"ARIGATOU HONCHOU!!!"
"LONG LIVE HONCHOU!!!"
"KYAAA~ HONCHOU IS SO HANDSOME"
WAS THE LAST PART REALLY NECESSARY!!!
they all started cheering again...goddamn it...everytime I visit it's like this...
How the hell did it come to this...
"Ahhhhhckkkk!!! fine if you want to help me, Go back and do your own Jobs already!"
"Hahahahaha Honchou is embarassed!"
OF COURSE I AM, WHO WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET PRAISED BY OLD GUYS, BRING OUT THE WOMEN AT THE SHOP COUNTERS AND MAKE THEM DO THE PRAISING INSTEAD
"Honchou Is so cute while blushing!"
"AHHHHHH S-Shut up!!!"
"Hahahahahaa"
they all happily laughed togeher
ahhh...this feeling, How blissful and warm
if there was someone who wanted to say thanks...it should be me...thank you all...
"By the way, where is Nino?"
"Oh he's training so that he could always support you when you both go to Lemuria academy Honchou!"
Nino, A guy that's the same age as me, ever since I protected and saved them from the Bandit's he always timidly looked up to me despite me (Gray) Being a Month younger,
He even call's me [King]! or [Boss Crow]! but most of the time it's just Honchou,
Well He said he wanted to always follow me and protect me so What's the problem it could cause?
He has a handsome face too, I bet he would be chased by many girls there despite being dark skinned...maye he could get engaged there too...
yes...in this world...academies are mostly the places where many couples get their red string of fate intertwined...so its normal for marriage despite being 15 years old...damn crazy ass world...
"I see...tell him to also rest every now and then"
"Yes Honchou!"
{After a while after teaching the staff on how to do the New instructions for the new strawberry lollipop}
Tofu, Levi and I went to the street vendor stalls that were all lined up and ate blissfully
"Nubyu!"
"Gruwawr!"
"hey stop fighting you two...!"
is it just me or Levi was growing bigger and growing some purple hair lately
maybe the [Purple Wyvern Tribe] had purple colored manes like lions?
yeah...maybe in Due time I will know the answer for it...anyway
"Oh!"
I go to the direction of the food stall that piqued my interest
as I was about to grab on the Caramel apple...
"!"
"Oh sorry!"
a Girl with Long Black hair and Black eyes wearing A cute dress that was commonly worn by people, apologized...
she was just a normal looking pretty girl
but I Know...Who she is
No way!...How!...
The Protagonist...
[Latina]
---------------
[Finito!: Latina]
There was a reason why [Constantine:Lè Rhapsodia] was the upcoming 'Best Galge of the Year'
Because of it's plot? well maybe a little but no,
Because of the Characters? Well they certainly look fresh and new compared to the Cliched old ones but no,
Because of the Art style?
Because of the Background Music?
Because of the Voice Actors?
Because of the Scenery?
Because of the Dialogues?
Because of the ecchi scenes?
(TL:fanservice)
No, No, No, No, No and... well maybe a little bit of ecchi but no...
It was because [ConRhap] had a female counterpart...
or to be exact...
[ConRhap] Was both a [Galge] and an [Otome Game]
The galge was for young men with a male protagonist but the otome game was for young women controlling the female protagonist
Picking different Genders Between M and F at the Start when you [Load a New Game] would Generate Each of their own world and own Protagonist
But What If All that the game settings..including both Protagonists from the game...what if both the Protagonists and their capture targets are alive at the same time... I shiver at the Impeding Doom that both Games had.....but more importantly...
W-what is she doing here!...
She was supposed to be At [Safire] Kingdom While The 'Male Protagonist' Lives at [Esmeralda]!
I tremble at the sight of the girl right by my side...It wasn't fear...I also Couldn't understand what this feeling is...
but this Girl wasn't any normal Girl...this Girl...for sure...Is the Protagonist
Looking at her...I feel every inch of my hair standing up...
A 13 year Old...[Latina]...Huh
[Latina] was the protagonist of [ConRhap] when the player picked the gender of a Girl...
[ConRhap]'s Fame wasn't because of the [Eroge] Counterpart when You started the game as The gender of a boy
It's fame was due to the [Otome game] counterpart of it having a [Harem End] while the [Eroge] could only have one End Girl per route
It is what Which made [ConRhap] really famous for Both Men And mostly Women Players
"Oh sorry!"
she apologized with her cute and soothing voice when our hands touched the stick of the Caramel apple at the same time
then she looked at me
"...How...Handsome..."
She mumbles something that I couldn't hear...
Damn, It's the protagonist
What do I do...
"U-umm"
My words stutter while talking to her
I can't even pronounce the things I wanna say correctly!
but one things for sure...
"She's really cute..."
"EH?!"
"!"
oh shit!, I just babbled without thinking!
"T-thank you..."
She says while looking really red
F*ck I though I was gonna get slapped...I mean It's the protagonist she's really pretty!, and Im just no one
(Mc still thinks he's ugly af lolol)
"May I as--"
"May I Please know your na-"
we both spoke at the same time with the same question to each other
well I already knew her though but Of course I cant tell her that 'YOURE THE PROTAGONIST OF THE OTOME GAME COUNTERPART!!!' right?
"pffft Ahahahahaha"
"m-mouuu! why are you laughing!"
she pouts with an angry face...
even her angry face is so cute!!!
"PLEASE MARRY ME!"
is what I wanted to say but now is not the time
"Gray, Its Gray~"
For now I should hide my noble surname
there isn't even anyone who knows of my surname except for Me, Tofu and Levi
"Gr-ei? That's kinda hard to pronounce"
"Eh~really?"
then how come [Flavo] Could say my name easily...oh yeah his torn clothes were from a noble fabric...
"How about You call me [Otto] and I call you [Yome]"
(Translation:Otto means husband and Yome means wife)
Please don't slap me! I know I'm Hella Ugly in this world but I think I was really hot at the previous one you know
(He still so dense that he didn't know that he was the most handsome being in the previous world)
"W-W-WHAT G-GRAY SAN W-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!!!"
"Hahahahah, See? you said my name~"
phew~ looks like she doesn't hate me
"Oh yeah...I did!, Gray-san!"
"yep thats Right"
"nice to meet you Gray-San!"
"you too...L--"
Oops I almost said her name
"Latina, Mine is Latina!"
How cheerful, So this is the atmosphere of a protagonist, so bright and cheerful and a little suffocating
well it doesn't matter as long as she's cute
"Ummm are you two gonna buy that caramel apple or just flirt in front of my stall?"
says the old man in front of us
"Wha- No! (/////)"
"wahwahwa~ (/////)"
we both definitely forgot we were still here in front of many people...How embarassing...
"F-four...P-please..."
and so, I bought four caramel apples for Mine, Tofu and Levi and also Latina's
"I can pay for my own Gray-san..."
"Don't mind it, I wouldn't be called a man if I didn't pay for it when I disturbed you"
"...He's really kind too..."
Latina and I walked side by side with each other walking to the fountain in the middle of the Food District where Tofu and Levi were Resting at
"Tofu! Leviathan!"
as Me and Latina both got nearer I called out to them and...Huh
why do they look Hostile to something... is it me or Latina?
"S-SO CUTEEEE!"
oh well looks like Latina didn't even notice the hostility coming from both of them
"Nugyu?!"
"Guwrawr?!"
Latina went to the two of them and stared hard at them making them both confused and surprised
"C-CAN I TOUCH THEM?!"
"uhhh, yeah sure why not"
Oh yeah Latina was the protagonist so she could choose any class, was the [Beast Tamer] class effective for her?, I don't remember...
and so, The four of us Played and chatted at the fountain for quite a while
*stomach rumbles*
"H-wawawawah~"
Latina's stomach rumbles, her embarassed face is also really cute!
"wanna eat with the three of us for lunch?"
"CAN I?!"
she says with sparkly eyes
too close! protagonist-chan your face is too close!
"O-ouu yeah of course you can!"
"Ok Gray-kun I'll Follow your lead!"
huh Gray-kun? Well nevermind as long as she's happy
as soon as we started happily chatting while walking--
"Ooooi~ My Student~~"
"Geh!"
an old man coming straight at us from afar...
SHIT I DEFINITELY FORGOT TO TRAIN TODAY
I was too absorbed into talking with Latina I didn't even notice the time!
"U-ummm Gray-kun I think That cool looking Old man is calling for you?"
COOL LOOKING MY ASS, THAT OLD SHIT IS JUST A LAZY PERVERTED BUM
"E-ehhh~ I-i dont know who that is~"
I said so in a monotone voice
"Oooooi~ My student Gray~~~"
*flinches*
DAMN IT NOW LATINA DEFINITELY KNOWS THAT I KNOW HIM
OH DEAR GOD IN THIS MOMENT JUST KILL ME
I DON'T EVEN WANNA LIVE I JUST DON'T WANT LATINA TO SEE ME WITH THAT THING
(he is pointing at his master inside his head)
"H-Hello~ M-Master..."
I smile wryly at him when he was only a few walks away from us-
he smirks back at me but...
that smile has darkness mixed with his face...
"Ohooo~"
THATS THE SMILE OF THE DEVIL!
F*CKING OLD SHIT!
"Where are the four of you going :) "
he asks with that diabolical smile
"T-to the [Fragola pâtissière]..."
I-its not like I'm planning to show off all my assets to my future bride O-ok!
"Oohhh can I go with you four then?"
"Tsk"
"Of course Grandpa! Gray-Tan's master would surely be kind like Him~"
NONONO! YOU'RE WRONG LATINA! THAT OLD SHIT IS THE DEVIL'S SPAWN!
anyway since when did You start calling me with 'tan' again? oh well you're so cute so I don't mind it
"Hahhhh- let's go then..."
I sigh at the impending doom known as 'Master'
"?"
Latina, Levi and Tofu had expressions like there were questions marks up their heads, Meanwhile...
"Kukukukuku~"
THE OLD SON OF A BITCH IS DEFINITELY GONNA PULL SOME WEIRD SHIT!
Walking in through the front door of [Fragola pâtissière], my own Shop
The staff would automatically know what to do when it means that I enter The Entrance from the front
"Good Morning Dear Customers, Table for Five?"
Good, With this Latina won't know that Im the owner of thi--
"Hey Gray aren't you the owner of this establisment? come and bring your master all the Delicious wine abubububu~"
he says while laughing and covering his mouth with an amused face
then starts to drink some wine that he brought from his item pouch
THIS F*CKING OLD MAN IS REALLY TOO MUCH!
"E-ehhh?! Gray-san own's this shop?!"
The Staff that would Escort us is starting to sweat bucket loads, The same is happening with Tofu and Levi
hahhhh...It's just too obvious at this point on...I'll just say it directly to her
"Y-ye--"
*BOOM*
just when I was about to tell her, A loud explosion had occurred outside
"WHAT!?!"
I run outside and check on what's happening
"ACKKKK!!!"
"EEEEKKKKK!!!"
"H-HELP?!"
many people Start to run from The Giant Alligator Monster that was wreaking havoc in the middle of [Josiah Village]
It was a massacre, Flames Lighting everywhere On every houses and buildings, The Giant Alligator Looking monster starts to breathe fire and crushing houses one by one,
That's right! I Remember now, this Giant Alligator like monster was supposed to show at the 2nd year! called-
[Lucertola di Fuoco]
- [4 Star Wild Monster]
- A Big Alligator Monster from the [Lizard Bloodline] that has a skill called [Flame Breath] which would inflict heavy burns on everything it preys on
- Has many Useful drops that would help with [Weapon-Wardrobe-Accessory] Type Equipment
F*ck it's the first time I've encountered a [4 Star] aside from Levi
I run inside my patissiere where master, Latina and the others are
"Master! Its a Lucertola di Fuoc--"
The most powerful person I know in this Village...is casually sleeping on my shop's table while drooling
"OLD MAN YOU STUPID DRUNKARD!!!"
I ran back Outside knowing that I have no one to count on instead of myself in this situation so I immediately put Latina's safety into account first which I hid her inside the patissiere and-
"Cambio Forma..."
I mumble to myself while walking forward at the [Lucertola di Fuoco] with my Crescent Moon shaped Earing turning back to my [Bakunawa] Getting bigger and bigger by the second as it straddles behind my back then finally forms that familiar rectangular war fan I use
This is the First time I'll use this against someone or something that is not master...
I'm getting fired up!
"Tofu! Levi! "
both of them start to walk along both my right and left side
"Tofu Rush it and pound it from below where it can't see you!"
"nubyu!"
tofu immediately runs below it while preparing a ramming attack instead of his normal kicking kenpo
"Levi spew your purple flames on my [Bakunawa] Now!"
While tofu is distracting the [Lucertola di Fuoco]-
[Skill]!
[Moon Eater]!
[Activate]!
"Uooooohhh!"
screaming with the purple flames getting eaten by the [Moon Eater] skill, I can feel it Giving me mana as I Hold my [Bakunawa]
alright, Its enough-
then the Alligator Monster glared at me and Immediately spit 3 Large fireballs
"tch...how unlucky..."
for the [Lucertola di Fuoco] that is hehehe
I suck the 3 Fireballs with my [Moon Eater]
I notice Tofu getting tired so I'll end this with all the mana I've Collected
I Cover my right eye with my right hand and form a peace sign on the left eye-
[Skill]!
[Chuunibyou Eyes of the Rosa Color]!
[Activate]!
All the mana that [Moon Eater] Devoured from both Levi and the Fire balls from [Lucertola di Fuoco] was enough to kill it and now it all doubled with [Chuunibyou Eyes of the Rosa Color]' effects
I then proceed to slowly sway the [Bakunawa] like a bat from behind while It produces Purple Ominous Flames-
"In cases like this is a combo attack like from the anime's at my old world right?~ hmmm what should I name this move"
I talk to myself while the monster casually approaches me
*Roar*
the [Lucertola di Fuoco] roared at me...
"Damn annoying...Im thinking of a Name for My Coordinated attack with Levi!"
I swing the Heavy [Bakunawa] at the Enemy then it released a wave of purple oozing flames
Only one thing was in my mind
a nickname for this coordinated special move...
the only thing that holds the biggest power in my past world
and that power...is [Authority]
"MR. PRESIDENT!?"
The purple Wave of Flames sliced through the middle Of the [Lucertola di Fuoco] cleanly
...
.....
........
F*CKKKKK!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT SPECIAL MOVE'S NAME?!!!
I ONLY THOUGHT OF THE MOST POWERFUL THING AT MY OLD WORLD
OF ALL THE THINGS I COULD HAVE NAMED IT WHY DID I CHOOSE 'MR.PRESIDENT' DAMN IT ALLL!!!!
