Chapter 98: Heroine Chapter: You will tell me.
Chapter POV: Jasmine Denel
___
"Everybody! Vehicles are approaching! Bella, these wagons have no coachmen!" Liv yelled as she guarded the basement entrance.
[These are the vehicles I sent, Liv, watch the outside to see if any reapers are coming.]
My sister Josephine then instructed the children we were escorting.
"Alright kids! We are going to play a fun game. Close your eyes and sing your favorite song as loud as you can! I will give yummy candy to the one who sings the best!"
The audience she spoke to consisted of children from at least ten different nationalities. Yet, despite not sharing a common language, the children all nodded and calmly followed her instructions.
Although I heard her words in English, I knew that this feat was only possible because of her {fate}. I calmly guarded the doors in front of me.
We were rescuing these children from a hospital under Trinity's control. According to Bella's re
"Don't reapers not show up on CCTV at all?"
[Well, you are not wrong, Jasmine, but you tend to forget who I am. I need someone to take the blame. So don't worry about the fall out.]
Liv got into the lead car with the first group of kids. Robyn and Josephine were in the second group. And I was in the third group by myself. My skills were naturally suited to being the rear guard.
[Princess. Everyone in. We're going.]
As Bella ordered the autonomous cars to move, I noticed a weapon case next to my seat.
"Miroku?" I read out loud.
[Miroku Firearms, the only decent gunsmith in Japan. Its a throw away, destroy everything that gets in your way. The bloodier the better. Use this time to get used to sniper rifles. Honey and I plan to arm our group with guns.]
"My bow reaches eight kilometers."
[I know, but you can't shoot reinforced armor plates at that distance, can you?] Bella replied.
"Hmph."
Because I was Formless, no matter how powerful my arm was, bows had an inherent limit. Only manifested weapons could break common sense. Since I had no other choice, I could only obediently imitate my husband.
'I wonder if we could get closer by both using weapons? Perhaps I could get him to teach me?'
The vans finally left the basement, and just as we came to level ground, our last comrade finally arrived. A loud thud came from the ceiling of my van along with an arrogant voice.
[Bella, what took you so long? I almost had my nails done thanks to your delays.]
[Shut it, Princess. I hacked everything from here to the airport. That was in addition to the flooding of social media and the Japanese police frequencies with fake reports. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah! I even created fake passports and stories for the kids.]
[And? Should I be impressed by such feats? I killed seven Phantoms and five Wraiths.] Lilly replied mockingly.
[...]
[What? Cat got your tongue, my dear Bella?]
[For that remark, your alias is Lilly Evans, your husband is Harry Evans. And you have three children with him.]
[WHAT? Harry Evans? The man who betrayed John? Change it immediately! Just the thought of it is enough to make me want to vomit in disgust.]
Most of us ignored the cat and dog fight between Bella and Lilly, but as soon as my husband's name was mentioned.
"Bella. Explain. Now." I ordered through clenched teeth.
More people inquired not a second later.
[Fess up, what did that Harry cunt do to the wombat?]
[Hey! Bella, when I asked about darling, why wasn't his name mentioned?!]
[Bella, I want to know too. Betrayal is death in the North]
[Well, shit, cats out of the bag. But I would say that you should pay attention to your situation first.]
I checked our surroundings and found a blue helicopter belonging to the Japanese SDF. My anger unexpectedly began to rise at the thought of my husband being betrayed.
I smashed the rear windshield of the van with the butt of the rifle. Then I raised the weapon and took aim. It was different from a bow, but I could compensate for the unfamiliar firearm with my {Fates}.
"{Aim}, {Snipe}, {Imaging} - X-ray. Bella, you will tell me what happened afterwards, understood?"
With my words, I sent a magazine's worth of bullets into the chopper's rotor. The damage caused the aircraft to stall in mid-air and crash in a fiery explosion.
[I am saying this now, but none of you can kill him, okay?]
