Sometime after the meal, several of the girls are taking.
Senko: "Maou seemed somewhat familiar with you, but I don’t recall meeting any of you before today, and it appears that Yami had never met you before either. When did y’all meet?
Thi: “Oh. That’s simple! We were with Psychopuppet’s group when he was hired to assassinate Maou!”
Yami jolts up. “What???”
Tazusa: “Well, we had just formed our squadron, and Psychopuppet was the assigned leader on our first job.”
Miriam: “I recall we were dispatched because of a demon trying to take over one of the worlds most powerful corporations.”
Mikan: “That does sound somewhat familiar.”
Thi: “Yeah. I can honestly say they could have sent a way more experienced team, and they still would have lost against him…”
Tazusa: “We even unloaded a Neunwelt Tactic on him…”
Mikan: “I’m gonna take it as that was your ultimate attack?”
Miriam sighs. “Yes. And he was barely phased by it…”
Tazusa: “The peculiar thing is he never actually attacked us back. To this day, I find that peculiar of a demon. If the Neunwelt Tactic barely scratched him, he probably could have ripped us to shreds in an instant, but he didn’t.”
Thi: “If you want to know the truth, during the battle, the floor collapsed, and he saved us from falling to our deaths.”
Tazusa: “He then said something about not wanting to kill anymore after being in “This Realm”.”
Miriam: “Maou and Psychopuppet became chummy after that. Turns out they have fairly similar interests.”
Tazusa: “So. What about you, Yami?” What’s the deadliest assassin in the universe doing in a place like this?"
Yami: “It’s kinda a long story. I first came to earth because of an assassination target myself. Through situations, I just couldn’t kill him. And with continuing interactions, I met his sister and was able to rekindle my relationship with my creator. We eventually fell in love.” Her expression saddens. “Then, one day, a different assassin was sent to put a hit on him. I was able to defeat the assassin, but he snapped psychologically, and sweared vengeance. He kept sending his subordinates, which I dispatched until one day he returned with a device that hindered my powers useless. I watched as the heart of my first love was impaled by multiple swords.” She begins tearing up. "I will never forget his last words.: “Yami. Run. Please. I want you to live and find another place where you can experience happiness.” "
The entire group is in tears at this point.
Yami: “I went into hiding with Mikan, Tearju, and Nemesis, who’s powers had been depleted significantly from a previous battle. At that point, I had decided as long as they were safe, I could pass on without regrets. So with everyone safe, I called out the assassin, and prepared myself for my end. I thought it would be over in an instant, but no. It felt like the battle lasted an eternity. Then, out of a miracle, that’s when I met Maou. The assassin attacked him, but Maou killed the assassin with one blow. I thought he would have taken the bounty on me, and even begged him to, but no.” Yami begins to blush. “He said I was beautiful, and refused to let me die.”
Mikan: “Right after then, that’s when me, Tear, and Neme first met Maou.” She points to Yami. “He arrived carrying her like a princess.”
Yami blushes harder.
Mikan: “We moved here after that.”
Tazusa: “Seriously?”
Mikan: “Yep.” She points to Yami again. “And this one was even able to find love again as well.”
Yami turns crimson and smoke rises from her head from embarrassment. “Mikan…”
Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”
