Will of chaos

After talking to the girls I made two lists, one for Diana and one for Kira with paper and ink we found in Kira's hideout.

In the lists, I have put various books, tools, materials, and items that I need right now or will need in the short term.

I hand over their lists and remind them to meet every night and always let the other one know their location.

When I'm talking this to them, Érica interrupts me to say that there is a simple spell that allows members of a group to know each other's positions at all times, it reminded me that I haven't added Kira to the group yet, so this thought went through my head a notification popped up.

Ding!

<[ You want to add Kira (Grey Elf) to the group ]>

.

<[ Yes / No ]>

I didn't even have to think about it, I immediately agreed.

Ding!

<[ Kira (Grey Elf) joined the group ]>

It reminds me that I haven't seen the status of the group or subordinates for a while.

Ding! Ding!

<[ Subordinates 4/5 ]>

I see that Ibuki's evolution made her much stronger, I also see that Kira has a stat that she doesn't have, it must be related to her spiritual power now that she has a contract with a Spirit.

After checking this I go to sleep.

zzzzzz...

Zzzzz...

Zzz...

-------------

The next day I wake up with Diana's face inches from mine, she seems to be still asleep, I turn my head and try to analyze my situation.

I can see that Erica slept cuddling with Ibuki and Kira is already awake, it looks like she's changing into her work clothes, she was just finishing getting dressed when I woke up, and my movements and look seem to alert her, she turns to me and our eyes locked, a second later she turns a little red in the face and turns away.

"It's not very polite to spy on a girl change her clothes, master." (Kira)

"I'm sorry Kira, I just happened to wake up just as you were changing, but don't worry, I couldn't see anything." (me)

She is shocked by my words and reflexively places her hands on her breasts as she says in a tone of sadness and jealousy.

"It's okay that they're not as big as Diana's or giants like Érica's, but to say you can't even see..." (Kira)

At first, I was confused, but when I finally understood his words I started to sweat from the misunderstanding.

"You got me wrong, I meant I woke up just as you were just getting changed so I couldn't see anything." (me)

"And don't compare yourself to other people you and beautiful as you are." (me)

"..." (Kira)

My words make her red again, but once it takes me too long to read the mood and understand the situation.

"(What the hell am I talking about!)" (me)

"Tell me, are you getting ready to go?" (me)

My attempt to change this situation was successful, with my question Kira regains her usual composure.

"I'm used to waking up early master." (Kira)

"But I also thought about going through the list you gave me to try and remember good places to get everything." (Kira)

"I appreciate your effort, but don't worry too much, except for the food-related items on the list, the rest can wait." (me)

"You guys are going to be gone a week, if you can't bring everything on the list, okay, just make sure you come back okay." (me)

"Thank you for your concern master." (Kira)

"Hmmm... Good morning master." (Diana)

"Good morning Master." (Érica)

It looks like my conversation with Kira woke up Diana and Érica, but it looks like Ibuki is still sleeping soundly.

"Good morning, girls." (me)

After waiting a bit the girls got ready and I woke up Ibuki, then we went to eat some meat again before sitting in another room in the log cabin to talk one last time before Diana and Kira left.

"I've already told Kira this, but I'll repeat it so you can hear Diana as well." (me)

"Don't worry about everything on the list, just take it easy and try not to draw too much attention." (me)

"I might be wrong, but I imagine they'll have some eyes on you when you get back, especially with the story you're going to tell the Guild." (me)

"You worry too much master, the Guild people are not as strict as the government, they are actually more carefree." (Diana)

"It's also not the first time that entire groups of adventurers have died, being an adventurer is a risky job and many die on the way, I believe there shouldn't even be an investigation." (Diana)

"Diana is right, master, there would only be an investigation if the origin of any member of the group was important or if the disappearance of the group was very suspicious." (Érica)

"As Érica said everything will be fine, the story the master created is very close to the things that have actually happened in the past, they will believe it if it's a responsible member like me telling the story." (Diana)

"If you insist that everything is fine, then I won't say anything else." (me)

"Kira would like to ask if you think Viper is someone who deserves to die?" (me)

"I don't think he has any more useful information for us, but I don't want the death of someone who was just being a puppet in the hands of others, after all, he is a slave, so how many of the crimes he committed were done of his own free will? " (me)

"I'm glad the master considers whether someone really deserves death rather than simply killing anyone in his path like so many others do." (Kira)

"But he always had a smile on his face when killing the nobles' guards when we were working, he never killed them quickly but used poisons to give them the slowest and most agonizing death possible." (Kira)

"So I don't need to worry about him, after you guys go to town I'm going to kill him," (me)

With that decided, I accompany the girls as they sort out everything they'll need like weapons, armor, and empty item boxes.

I learned that you can't put space storage items inside each other, but there is a spell and a skill that goes by the name of an item box that works the same way, it seems like the skill is a rare one, about the spell it needs to someone with the spatial attribute that is equally rare to use.

"You were away a week, not a day more and not a day less, you understand." (me)

"Yes Master." (Diana)

"Yes Master." (Kira)

I follow them out of the cabin to the gate, hug each one and watch them leave until I'm out of sight.

After this brief farewell, I return with Ibuki and Érica to the cabin.

"Érica you have two tasks while the others are away." (me)

"The first task is to continue teaching Ibuki the common language and the second task is to organize everything we brought from the bandit's hideout, okay?" (me)

"Alright master, I'll spend the morning organizing and cataloging the items." (Érica)

"I will call Ibuki to study in the afternoon to raise the level of his common language ability as soon as possible." (Érica)

After giving Érica what she has to do this week, I head towards the cave to put an end to the prisoner who has already served her purpose.

"Are you here to find out anything more freak?" (Viper)

"No, I came here to fulfill my promise." (me)

"..." (Viper)

"At least this way I have a quick death." (Viper)

"For someone who's done the things I've done, it's already more than I deserve." (Viper)

"I always knew I wouldn't have a peaceful death, of all the times I thought about how I would die this isn't the worst." (Viper)

"I'd rather die at the hands of a monster like you than be tortured by nobles or be used as a puppet by a hypocritical priest who I don't even know the name of." (Viper)

I wait for him to finish his monologue as a way to prepare to die, as soon as I see he has nothing more to say I head towards him and use my [Wolf Claw: 8] ability to cut his neck, then I knelt at in front of the body and drank all of its blood.

Ding! Ding! Ding!
