JACG Chapter 67 ( Targets)

It was only a matter of time before the information got out anyway. Pyrrha was firmly in Ozipin’s grasp so explaining the big bad of the season was reasonable. I was just surprised that Ozipin caved so early, sure I expected it to happen but not this fast. I suppose he was not willing to wait when faced with an opportunity to hurt Salem. Ozpin has been working on the back foot for a long while so it made sense.

I helped Petunia pack her balm and popped her back home. I made sure to ask her about her schedule so I could teach her when she was free. I was not going to drag her away from her regular life to learn potions from me. It was not an urgent task, I was only doing this to make her happy so I did not need to ruin other aspects of her life.

Even if she was charging into learning potions with a fervor that reminded me far too much of myself. Once I no longer had to worry about Petunia I popped back to the mansion and sent over another message.

[Overdramatic Fool: I would ask what they did to earn your ire but it does not really matter too much. Is Salem their full name? If it is I might need a little more details to narrow down the curse.]

Obviously I did not need any more information but I wanted to drag more information from her. I wanted to test how much Ozipin actually trusted her and I wanted the chat group involved. Izumi and Argo would not be all that helpful but I wanted them to feel included. I wanted us to be more involved with each other. We were a group and we should be acting the part.

That did bring into question if I should tell members what I knew about their respective worlds. The information would certainly be helpful to them but it would be hard to explain where that information came from. Not to mention I did not actually know all too much about them. Pyrrha’s world was the one I knew the most about but it was not a whole lot of information.

Curse my lack of interest in the later seasons of RWBY. The only thing that I recalled from the later seasons was Yang was gay for Blake and I was not even sure if that was true or not. It might just be the fandom shipping really fucking hard. I had been baited plenty of times by fandoms shipping two people. I was not interested enough in the topic to check back in on the show. So my knowledge of RWBY remained spotty.

Rias was in a similar boat, I knew enough about her to get the gist of her situation but she could already handle what I knew. A anime about a guy screaming about tits did not really appeal to me. So I skipped out on it, I did read a good amount of fanfictions about it but most of them cut off at the same point.

I still had no idea where Izumi came from, the only clue I got was he was likely to be the bottom in a relationship. Not exactly something that screamed easy to identify. I also held no information in Ashley’s world, the fact that demons were wandering around scared the shit out of me. Then we had Argo, again my knowledge of the series was regulated to the abridged series so she was shit out of luck for future knowledge.

I guess I was not as all knowing as I thought I was. So I guess there was no need to show my hand just yet. Argo lived in a modern Japan so she should have access to anime, she might be able to get her hands on DXD or whatever anime Izumi is from. It was a long shot but her world apparently had One Piece so maybe it was not too much of a long shot. I would just have to nudge her in the proper direction. Hell, I could head back to her world and search for the information myself. I did say I wanted to watch some anime with Ashley, so I had an excuse.

I was being rather secretive but I felt like it was appropriate. I did not want to have all of their expectation placed on my shoulders when my knowledge already proved to be spotty. I was a weeb but I did not have an encyclopedia of all known pop culture. I was only human and I was limited by other aspects of life.

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Oh are we back to cursing people? I still want a quota! I really want to mess with someone please!]

[Grade A Bottom: #Scared.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Don’t worry Izumi-chan you are not the one I’m after.]

[Grade A Bottom: I would hope so. It’s just whenever this topic comes up I have flash backs.]

[Overdramatic Fool: I would offer to remove that memory from your mind but that seems like an overreaction.]

[Grade A Bottom: You can do that!? You get scarier and scarier every day Prince-san]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I can do it as well if you want those memories gone Izumi-chan.]

[Grade A Bottom: I might shudder every time I think about what happened but I think I would rather know.]

[NTR Victim: Respect.]

Perhaps offering to remove memories that traumatized a person was not the best offer. It was just an easy solution even if I was sure no one would take that offer. Izumi was clearly over reacting but he was a mundane person before so he could feel how ever he wanted. Clearly, this emotional damage was the worst thing that ever happened to him. I could not relate to that in the slightest. 

The fact that the trap in our group was the most mentally sound person was disturbing. I suppose him looking particularly girly had no correlation to his mental state so I should not be too surprised.

Rias wanted to curse somebody I could only assume that it was her husband to be. I did not mind cursing the guy, it would have Rias warming up to me for a relatively minor thing. I was fairly certain Rias should be capable of taking care of her problems by herself. Even if she has been wasting points in a doomed effort to get a respectable username. 

She should have plenty of time before her marriage and the Chat Group would provide her endless amounts of power. She also had a newbie gift that she claimed was S rank so she should be good. 

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: Salem is her full name. She is an immortal witch who rules over a group of monsters called Grim.]

[NTR Victim: She sounds like a bad bitch, are you sure she needs smiting? Sounds kind of cool to me.]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: She is a monster who is responsible for the death of millions!]

[Overdramatic Fool: Noted.]

I winced as Pyrrha's rebuttal would not have convinced Ashley Salem was not in fact a bad bitch. I looked over at Ashley who was lounging on the bed looking at her own interface. 

“Can you not prod her Ashley?” I was still on bad terms with Pyrrha I would rather not have things worse between us. Ashley looked away from her interface and looked at me. Seeing the awkward smile on my face she rolled her eyes and huffed. Still, it looked like she was not going to push it with Pyrrha.

[Grade A Bottom: I’m really glad I don’t live in any of the worlds that you guys belong to.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: I would be hurt by that statement but my world really blew chunks for a long while.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: My world is not too bad Izumi-chan.]

[NTR Victim: Didn’t you say your world had Demons and conceptual deities?]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Yes?]

[Grade A Bottom: Scary.]

[NTR Victim: For regular people that sounds insane Magic Tits. My world was apparently fucked up too, my neighbor was going to summon a demon before Prince iced the guy.]

[Grade A Bottom:... Prince-san murdered someone!?]

I winced again. I was not exactly ashamed of my actions but I did not want to advertise how willing I was to murder someone. Then again it would only earn me negative points with Izumi, Pyrrha, and maybe Argo. Rias would understand the need to kill someone some times. 

Ashley looked up and gave me an apologetic look, she was just joining the conversation. She wanted to brag about my actions and she did not feel like I did anything wrong when I killed the guy. Then again she would not think I did anything wrong if I murdered some random dipshit.
I waved her off as I knew what she was thinking. I could not really blame her all too much for her releasing that little tidbit.

Whatever it was bound to come up eventually. I was not going to hide from those actions. I would kill that dumb ass a thousand times and not even blink at the action. Someone who dabbled in such dark fields did not deserve the option of mercy. 

[Overdramatic Fool: I would like to say that the guy was literally summoning a demon that would have gone on a rampage killing thousands.]

I was making a guess there but summoning a demon would only end in tragedy. Nothing else would have fit the sheer wrongness I felt in the air that night.

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: I get it. Sometimes you have to make the hard choices when push comes to shove.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I may be a devil but even I would look at someone summoning a demon poorly. ]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: What else would you do with a criminal?]

[NTR Victim: I would rather not have a demon coming for my soul. God knows what it would do with it.]

[Grade A Bottom: ….]

[Overdramatic Fool: Right, I get the moral point you are saying Izumi but I don’t regret what I did. Some times mercy is just not on the table.]

[Overdramatic Fool: Anyways, that information should be enough I will curse this Salem. She is probably going to have a long series of terrible days from now on. She probably won’t die as she is an immortal but what ever she is plotting should be running into problems.]

The ultimate move to use when you don’t want to talk about something. Shift the topic into something you are willing to discuss. I did not want to have Izumi lecturing me on morals for however long he wanted. He would not convince me that my actions were wrong and he was not the type of person who was interesting to listen to.

I would much rather talk to Pyrrha about Salem being handicapped for a very long time. 

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: Thank you Prince, Hopefully this will mean that the Grim will be taking fewer lives.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Oh, me too! Come on Prince he really deserves it I promise!]

[Overdramatic Fool: Alright I get it, I’ll curse someone for you as well Rias-san. Just send me their name.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Sweet! Their name is Riser Phenex. I can’t wait to see that arrogant asshole suffering. ]

[Overdramatic Fool: Noted, he will wish he never even looked at you Rias-san]

I asked Fortuna to mess around with Salem and Riser. She agreed but she seemed moody that I was sending her on this particular errand.
