“Ah…! Geez, this really was the worst!!”
…Somewhere, in the middle of the darkest dark, a girl raised a shrill voice.
Drop, the girl dressed in her all black gothic lolita outfit, made no attempt to hide her displeasure.
“Little Drop’s meticulously thought out perfect plan was ruined! It’s so vexing!!”
“Hahaha! It can’t be helped. Fate means nothing goes exactly as we planned.”
Said Lost, perhaps to fuel her anger and displeasure, or perhaps to soothe it.
Lost smiled awkwardly at the girl grinding her teeth, and praised her failed plot.
“You used the event that was going to happen, and turned the people of the village where it took place into armor beasts to change the scenario. Your plan was perfect and your selection of specimen was wonderful. She was just the perfect amount of trash to do exactly as you wanted. And I think you did well in foreseeing how the people hit with those heroes’ charisma would act. It really was perfect, until a certain point.”
“Yes! It would’ve been perfect if Precia did like the hero asked and attacked with fire to burn the kid along with the trent! That would have been a sorrow she could never recover from! The guilt of killing a kid would mean she could never cook again, and she would have fallen to the depths of sorrow!”
“And upon seeing the sorrow of the one he cared about, Hao would have also fallen into the same sorrow. As his heart sank and his hatred of the heroes boiled, I would have given him the needle to turn him into a monster armor beast to exact revenge, and give that sorrow to those two. Yes, it was a well thought out scenario.”
“And that Yuugo stopped it all! That guy you’ve had your eye on! It’s so irritating!”
“Hahahaha! As expected from you, and him. He had an ace up his sleeve, and stopped that chain of sorrow by saving the child! Truly, my hero!”
Lost praised Yuugo with a sort of ecstatic tone, and Drop stared with an annoyed expression.
But Lost continued, even as she still looked frustrated over her carefully constructed plan being foiled.
“I know how you feel, Drop. But wouldn’t it be boring if everything went according to plan!? And if we are hindering the heroes’ plans and bringing them misfortune, isn’t it natural for the same thing to happen to ours?”
“…I guess. Well, it was a lot milder than I expected, but I did bring plenty of misfortune to those two pieces of trash, and I accomplished my goal of making them lose their virginity to that hag.”
“Yes yes, change that way of thinking! Well then, there isn’t much room for us to meddle in the next scenario, but the heroes will still do plenty to cause misfortune. It’s like a bonus stage, we can feel nice without having to do anything!”
“Gather our strength, learn, and develop the next one… Little drop here is starting to feel like a real mastermind! Kyaha★.”
Drop’s voice was once again bright, and her mood seemed to have recovered.
With a bright loud voice, she expressed very dark emotions, and disappeared into an even deeper darkness.
Before also disappearing into the darkness… Lost smiled, and whispered to the hero in their sights.
“I expect much from you, my hero. It’s an honest being that saves people without expecting a reward that deepens the darkness of evil. It’s because of you that us masterminds and the heroes… The evil that is that reincarnated trash, shines brighter…! Get stronger and cooler, become the best hero you can be. And then, we will have the long awaited brilliant scene where we clash…!!”
After expressing that excitement, Lost also disappeared into the darkness.
What would these two, who held a darkness the depths of which was unknown, do next… No one in that world knew.
But one thing was certain, they would continue to manipulate people, and create sorrow.
