JACG Chapter 77 (fictitious)

So far I have been keeping my foreknowledge on the down low. I had only touched upon subjects that the people in the Chat already brought up. I had a variety of reasons for doing so.

I did not want the expectations placed on my shoulders about being all knowing. If I suddenly told the Chat members their future they would expect that I could do so for others. That was not true, Ashley and Izumi taught me that as I had no idea who they were. So trying to play the all knowing prophet was doomed for failure.

I also did not want to deal with the existential crisis that knowing you were a fictional character brought up. Something like that affects people it changes their perceptions and makes them question everything they do. Some people would power through it because they had that inner strength while others would crumble. The whole prospect was not something I wanted to touch with a ten-foot pole.

I was lucky enough to avoid that crisis not because I knew I was a real person. That was a ridiculous sentiment the people that I have grown to know thought they were real so why should my situation be different? The only fact that made me more ‘real’ was my memories of a world in which all of these people were fictional. It was frankly absurd to figure you were the only real thing about the fantastic whimsical world around you. 

No the reason I avoided that crisis was that I simply did not care. The beating heart in my chest was real enough for me to move on. The emotions that swelled inside me were enough for me to continue. The actions I have taken may have been down under the will of some grand beings but I did not care. I was who I was and the fictional nature of my existence did not bring me any pain.

It was a strange concept to stand behind but I understood myself well enough to fall in line with it. I would continue to do what I planned simply because that was what I wanted and that was all that mattered.

So I did not plan on revealing the nature of our existence to the others to play a role I did not fit. I did contemplate sharing that knowledge that I had for some benefits but it was ultimately not worth the hassle that said knowledge would bring. I had shown my hand slightly before but it was not enough to bring about any real questions. Now Rias wanted some answers and it was entirely my own fault.

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: You can’t just drop something like that on me and expect me to not react Prince-san!?]

[Overdramatic Fool: Sorry the situation was rather confusing for me. The item description told me that Regulus was reincarnated by a Devil named Sairaorg and I used magic to find some more information. I’m sorry about the confusion but I suddenly had a child in front of me and I panicked. I should have talked to the child first as I did not kidnap him.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: You can reincarnate Sacred Gears!?! How the hell did Sairaorg do that!?]

[Overdramatic Fool: Your guess is as good as mine, You probably have more information on that front.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: We going to ignore the fact that Prince-san can cast magic across dimensions!?]

[NTR Victim: He does that shit all the time it’s not that big of a deal Argo.]

[Grade A Bottom: His magic is too Scary! One moment I was minding my own business and then there were birds EVERYWHERE!]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: Same T-T]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: The was the only part of his explanation that made sense Argo-Chan. How can someone reincarnate an item that resides in someone else's soul!?]

I shared a plausible story and distracted Rias with some ridiculous information. What Sairaorg did in her world was something that had never been done before. The mere idea of reincarnating a Sacred Gear was so absurd that it distracted her from digging further.

My story had holes in it but that was to be expected it was entirely false. It was only good enough because I already had a penchant for casting magic across dimensions. Rias, Izumi, and Pyrrha knew that I was more than capable of doing so.

[Overdramatic Fool: I think the concepts behind Sacred Gears are already ridiculous enough. How did your God create weapons that would hop from human to human as their host died? Not to mention the sheer power behind them is ridiculous. Sacred Gears can evolve beyond what they were initially meant to be, how the fuck did he get it to work like that.]

[Overdramatic Fool: I understand a weapon like Regulus as he was made from a legendary creature. But Star Blaster Star Burster is a completely different beast. It was never meant to be so powerful but somehow it can now blow up planets now!?!?]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: …..Fair but G-man is ridiculously over powered. How are the evil pieces able to reincarnate something G-man made!? Beelzebub-sama is a genius beyond compare but even he was never able to crack Sacred Gears!? How did Sairaorg manage to do something not even Beelzebub-sama was not able to do!? ]

[Overdramatic Fool: You could just ask him?]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: How am I supposed to bring that up!? Oh, my friend from another dimension might have stolen your Sacred Gear so he asked me to check in on you. Turns out he stole a completely different Sacred Gear but he still knew about yours. WHO WOULD BEIELVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?!? ]

[NTR Victim: Chill the fuck out Magic Tits. If you don’t want to ask the guy about his over powered bullshit you don’t have to. The dude’s your family he should not care too much if you do get the balls to ask him.]

[Grade A Bottom: I know I’m not the best at this magic stuff Rias-san but I’m sure you can work through this!]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: A ridiculous story can be trusted with enough Proof Rias. You might have to show him a lot but I’m sure he will believe you…eventually.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: This Magic stuff confuses the fuck out of me but it’s not that big of a deal.]

[Overdramatic Fool: If you need someone to be there to prove some of this I’m willing to pop over. I needed a place to practice using Star Burster Star Blaster anyway.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: ….]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Thanks everyone, I needed to calm down and your words helped a lot. The world is crazy and I just have to get used to that. I’m surprised that you helped me Ashley-chan I thought you hated me. ]

[NTR Victim: Regret, Imendiate regret.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Aww Ashley is a big softie once you get used to her. If you get on her good side you can get her to stab people for you. It’s fucking hilarious.]

[NTR Victim: SHUT IT ARGO!!! ALL OF MY HATE! ALL OF IT!!!]

[Overdramatic Fool: … I can see why you and Ashley are friends Argo.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT YOU! I THOUGHT THIS STAR BURSTER STAR BLASTER WAS AN EXAMPLE. YOU CAN BLOW UP A PLANET!!?!?]

[Grade A Bottom: Scary.]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: Does it have to be a planet or could you blow up just a continent?]

[NTR Victim: Damn already planning a genocide I misjudged you, Hunter. I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship. ]

[Grade A Bottom: I thought you were normal Hunter-san!?]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I get being angry Hunter-san but this is a bit much. ]

[Overdramatic Fool: I’m not saying no but I’m going to need a pretty good reason to blow up a continent Hunter-san.]

[NTR Victim: What if I do that thing with my tongue? Would you do it then?]

[Overdramatic Fool: …..Okay I’m going to need a decent reason to blow up a continent.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Prince!?!?!?!]

[Grade A Bottom: SCAAAAARY!!!]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: GENIOCIDE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!!]

[NTR Victim: Says you.]

[Overdramatic Fool: I’m joking….mostly if Hunter-san does have a good reason I might consider it but it is unlikely. Blowing up an entire continent is not really on my bucket list. A castle on the other hand is.]

[NTR Victim: Lame.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: The relief is so real right now.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I knew you were a good guy Prince-san… despite some of your actions.]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: I did not mean to imply genocide. There is a continent on my planet that is full of monsters so Prince blowing it up would be really helpful.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Oh, that’s fine then.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: IS IT!?!]

[Grade A Bottom:????]

[NTR Victim: Maybe you are not as lame as I thought you were Rias.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: She said my name!!!  I need a moment.]

[NTR Victim: Why you got to say shit like that Magic Tits.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: NOOOOOOO WE WERE HAVING A MOMENT ASHLEY-CHAN!!]

[Overdramatic Fool: That is a pretty good reason Hunter-san. I just don’t think you are thinking this through. If I blow up a continent the sudden vacancy of land would have disastrous consequences not to mention the energy from the explosion. I also do not have a good handle on my Sacred Gear so things would probably go even worse.]

[NTR Victim: Lame I wanted to see a continent being blown up.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: That does make sense. I really got to consider these things now that I am as powerful as my Brother.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Prince I knew you had some reasons left in you even if your taste in women is really fucking bad.]

[NTR Victim: Prince can I go stab a bitch, I’ll be really quick I promise. Our fucking can wait!]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Hehehe you are kind of proving my point Ashley.]

[NTR Victim: Tough talk from a bitch who is about to be stabbed.]

I rolled my eyes at the Chat. It looked like everyone was back to a more stable mood. That was a good sign I did not have to worry about them too much. I was hoping that Rias would take me up on my offer to be there when she questions Sairaorg. I really wanted to test my Sacred Gear and her dimension is probably the only one that could help me there.

It looked like my relationship with Pyrrha was also on track for getting better. Her world was moments away from being a Death World so my abilities would be really helpful to her. She also knew that I was not against her on principle it was just a misunderstanding. So she was getting closer to relying on me which was good. Even if she had an innate fear of me.

I looked over at the Sacred Gear that caused all of this as he fully took a nap in front of me. This guy is going to be fucking annoying to deal with. I conjured a large amount of water and dropped it on him.

As soon as the water touched him he sprang up with a startled cry moving quickly away from the water. He was already wet so it was too late but he still wanted to move from his position. Once he was a fair bit away from his nap spot her turned to glare at me.

The kid was completely soaked and he looked like a wet cat throwing a fit so he was not exactly intimidating even if he really should be.

I snapped my fingers to dry him as this conversation would go better if he was not soaking wet. As he suddenly became dry his glare lightened but he still was shooting me a sour look.

“It’s just some water you big baby.” I spoke out lightly as I rolled my eyes at him. His sour look got even worse but he just narrowed his eyes and came closer.

He looked at me as if asking what I wanted.

“Look I need you to protect someone for me. They should not be in danger a whole lot so you should not have to do too much.” As I continued speaking he looked interested in the prospect which was good enough for me.

I could introduce him to my mother and ask her to take care of him. It would give her some company and a massive amount of protection I just had to figure out a way to bring it up.

I was basically asking her to adopt a child, no big deal right?
