Chapter 4: Crimson Minstrel and the Goddess of Death. (1)
Meanwhile, During the epicentre of the first earthquake. Two female figures dropped down from the sky.
The first one was a beautiful woman clad in red, She had a bob cut, a fair complexion, red lips and a mole on her left cheek. A red witch hat that has a skull face on it adorned the top of her head. Her black leather choker with a gold ring around the neck is connected to her shoulderless red jacket that she can easily take off and put on. She has a red mini-skirt and thigh high heel boots, and black fingerless gloves. On her side was a green electric guitar strapped to her shoulder.
The other one was a beautiful blond haired woman tied into pigtails with the fringes of her bangs reached towards her shoulders, blue eyes, a beauty mark on her left lower cheek. A pale white skin akin to a porcelain doll. She wore a gothic lolita dress furthering the doll-like look. Yet the most striking thing about her was the two scythes she was holding. Yet it wasn't just that, it was a powerful pair of modified rifles that can be used as scythes.
The woman on the red looked around, "Hey! Reaper! Are you sure we're on the right place? This looks just like modern times..." She said as she sat on a nerby bench and tuned her electric guitar not minding the curious stares of the folks that walked by them.
The blonde woman shrugged, "I'm pretty sure we are on the right place. He sent this exact coordinates." She said as she brought out a wierd circular device that showed a straight line. "See? This worldline has no branches." She said as she showed the woman who was immered in strumming her guitar.
"Oh? Not a single line that branches out... A straight goddamn timeline. We hit the Jackpot!" She said. She got excited and started playing music from her guitar. The blonde woman rolled her eyes toward her and crossed her arms, "Now to find those are intrinsically tied to this world line. But... Where the hell do we start? You can't just expect us to start killing off randoms." She said as she clutched her head.
The woman in red laughed at her companions conundrum, "You an idiot or something? We could just start a live performance and start from there? Whats the point of being Musicians if we're not gonna bother actin' like one?" The blonde woman looked at her companion with wide eyes, "Wow! A valid point. That's a surprise."
"I do have my moments. Specially in bed~" The woman in red said in a sultry voice. However her remarks was immediately ignored by the blonde woman. "Alright I guess we start over there?" She said while pointing towards a large crowd gathering outside the shopping district.
"What're we playing though?" The woman in red said. "My song obviously." The blonde woman said almost immediately. "HUH!? I'm the one who brought their own instrument!" The blond woman shrugged, "Unlike you I have actually released songs."
The woman in red clicked her tongue, "Such a hurtful gal you are. Hopefully I can peel that layer of ice later~" The blonde woman sighed at the antics of her partner. Yet before they could start playing 3 people slowly approached them.
One was dressed in a butler uniform and two were on maid outfits. The woman in red whistled as she watched them approach, "I didn't know cosplay is this popular here." The man in a butler uniform coughed, "Excuse me young ladies. As much as I am hurt to say this but I must ask you to evacuate and follow the earthquake procedures. Though I have no doubt that your musical skill are no less compared to my lovely mother's."
He was a tall softspoken man, with purple eyes, pale skin, and short blue hair. Kiriyama Koi, a butler for the Kuki Conglomerate. Beside him were two lovely ladies with distinct look and personalities.
The one on the left was was a quiet yet cool looking beautiful woman. She has teal eyes and short spiky black hair. She wears the maid uniform of the Kuki group. Lee Jinchu, a former assassin codenamed Dragon. Proficient in using various hidden weapons and an agile martial artist.
"Apologies but we have to CUT your performance short. Pffft." Lee shook from laughter while still maintaining that dead pan expression.
"Fuck! Lee stop making jokes this is an emergency! Also you're not even trying anymore!" The stunning woman on the right said to her friend. She was a pale skinned woman, and has blue eyes and semi-long blond hair which she ties into a twin ponytail. She also has spiky bangs. She wears a maid uniform of the Kuki group. Stacy Connor, an ex-mercenary both an expert on close combat and various firearms.
"Now, Now, ladies lets not make a fuss and handle this professionally. Just like my mother used to say, Proficiency is not bred but learned." Kiriyama said with a smile. All the while the two ladies they were talking to were staring at the circular devices on their hand.
"Fuck! Koi, shut it! You goddamned mother-con!" Stacy said as she sighed. She then stared at the guitar on the woman in red, "Before you go what kind of music you play?"
The woman in red said, "ROCK and HARD baby!!~ Just the way I like it!" She said making Stacy grin, "ROCK! Now that's my jam! I'll listen to your music another time but for now please evacuate." The blond woman tilted her head. "But, I would really love if you listen to my requiem. It would be a beautiful send off... wouldn't you think so? Crimson Minstrel?" She said as she stared at her partner.
"Hmmm... one of them has little to no effect to this world line. Yet these two girls... Oh my. They are quite the delicious prey." She said as she radiated killing intent making the three jump back. Lee brought out 8 knives all clutched in between her fingers. Stacy brought out her guns. While Kiriyama steadied his stance.
"Any data on these two?" Kiriyama said as he prepared to strike. Stacy contacted the entire network of Kuki maids and butlers patrolling the area. "ROCK!! Everyone has been evacuated. All green. We could finally go all out!" She grinned madly towards the two.
Kiriyama stared at the two radiating such sharp killing intent honed by taking countless lives. "You make me sad. To think I even said you were almost on par to my beautiful mother." Lee on the other hand frowned, "I don't recognize these two. No matter what they should atleast be known if they're radiating this kind of aura. But they do not exist in the Kuki database."
The woman in red laughed, "Well of course."
Stacy cursed, "FUCK! Stop being mysterious and just tell us who you are and who you work for! I promise we'll make it painless." She said as she aimed both her guns at their temples. The blonde woman smiled softly, "They call me the Goddess of Death. But you can call me reaper, That's what people call me. Why? Cause they all DIE!!" She said as she charged forwards.
Stacy immediately open fired, however her bullets were easily deflected. Reaper spun her scythe and spun in the air. Stacy controlled the recoil of her guns and aimed upwards but her target has disappeared from sight.
"FUCK!?" She said as she felt killing intent from behind her. She quickly turned around and threw her guns to block the scythe that was aiming to cleave her in half. She jumped back only to see Reaper grinning her at her.
"Aren't you quite fast? You little fucking philistine." She said as she dodged the knives thrown by lee from her sides by tilting her body back. Kiriyama followed up by a barrage of kicks on her direction how ever she once more disappeared from her spot.
Lee rolled on the ground to dodge the strike that was aiming for her head. "She has the same teleportation skill as the Goddess of War!?" Kiriyama said as he charged towards the woman in red.
He jumped up and tried to drop kick her however she dodged to the side and slammed the guitar she was holding into his stomach. He then grabbed him by his collar and threw him on the air. She strummed her guitar and a golden soundwave in the form of lightning struck kiriyama sending hin crashing towards a nearby store.
"Hmmm, not interesting at all! How 'bout you struggle a bit more baby? You like mommy right? If you manage to land a hit I can be one~" She said as she laughed maniacally. Kiriyama stood up and brushed off the clutter on his clothes, "Oh my, how vulgar you are. My mother always told me to stay away from freaks like you."
"Well ready for round two babies?" She said as she strummed her guitar, blasting out an enervating rock rhythmn.
