Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 408 - I Will Stay At Your Side For Eternity

-----

Wellerman slowly moved towards the coast of the beach, as it surprised everyone with its enormous and powerful presence.

??

The monster was indeed strong, even when it was just born.

"Amazing... Eh? How many times have we said amazing now?" wondered Ismene, as she was glaring at the living giant battleship groaning around and diving into the water in and out like a fish or an enormous whale.

"So cool, mommy! Can we bring him home?" asked Kuro.

"I-I don't think so, it will cause a commotion if we bring a giant floating battleship…" said Veronica.

"Yeah, we better not…" said Ervas.

"I think this is the first time I've seen an Undead this big, this is like three times bigger than Selene…" said Jason, referencing the cursed manor, Selene.

"Yeah, it's enormous! Amazing, now that my lords are finally are done with this, Wellerman can finally cross the seas and get to the Demon Continent!" said Percy.

"My lady and my lord are indeed amazing! This new companion shall be appreciated," said Albert while floating around.

"Draaaaa! Friends!" said Draconia, as she flapped her wyvern wings around, flying towards Wellerman and greeting the pirate ghosts and skeletons, which were revitalized by Veronica's Death Attribute Magic Spells.

"Oh, a mighty dragoness has emerged!"

"Who might this lady name be?"

"Draconia!" said Draconia adorably. She still had the mind of a young girl and had developed through these six months where she was not forced to fight as much. Although her strength did not skyrocket, her ability to think and use her body and powers better has increased.

"Oh, Lady Draconia! You are an Undead such as us!"

"I never thought Undead could be this beautiful!"

"Well, what about our lady Veronica?"

"Oh right! Well, she's an exception! She is way above Undead, she is a Goddess at this point!"

"Very true, my friend!"

As Draconia became popular with the skeleton due to her cuteness, Goliath spoke with some of them as a fellow Undead.

"So what's your occupation?" asked one of the skeletons.

"I am the IRON FIST, GOLIATH!" said Goliath.

"…And?" asked a second skeleton.

"Yeah, like, what do you do for a living… Or a death?" asked the third skeleton.

"Oh, well, I often train my fellow Undead back home, we had built a large squadron and we always have open arms for any new Undead that want to join us. We often teach how to regain memories, how to rearrange emotions, and how to deal with the existential dread of being dead, here, take these papers, if you are interested feel free to contact me through Veronica-sama or Ervas-sama's clones," said Goliath, changing his personality completely as he acted as a very thoughtful man, distributing some papers to the skeletons, which described the many things he did in such area.

"This sounds more like a rehabilitation center!"

"Yeah…"

"But it is nice, a place where we can be listened to and healed a bit…"

"Sure thing, we'll join then!" said the three skeletons after considering things, as Goliath smiled happily.

"You are welcome then, my friends!" said Goliath.

"OI! You three are pirates! Where do you think you are going, you bastards?!" roared Blackeye, reaching the three skeletons.

"Agh, this bastard old man…"

"Don't listen to him, Goliath,"

"Yeah, he's a damn bastard,"

"Hmm… Perhaps you too could join the rehabilitation program," said Goliath, inviting Blackeye to it.

"Rehabili- What?" asked Blackeye, without even being able to understand the "fancy" word that well.

"Read this," said Goliath while giving Blackeye a paper.

"I don't know how to read," said Blackeye.

"…"

Goliath felt disappointed.

The party quickly moved over Wellerman as they began to clean its surface from all the sea life stuck to it, alongside capturing the fish that were still jumping around, and the group of aggressive octopuses that were grilled for dinner.

When the night was already falling, Wellerman was as clean and beautiful as it could be, and the battleship itself showed such happiness by groaning loudly.

"OOOOOOOOOOHH…!"

"Wellerman don't groan too much, alright? People from the city might hear you," said Veronica, as she petted the surface of the battleship.

"Oooooooooh…" groaned Wellerman in a lower voice, although it was still nightmarish and loud anyways.

Veronica felt that it was hopeless.

Jason, Leonidas, and other grilling-lovers began to grill the seafood found inside the boat, from large sharks to giant fish, to whole octopus which they covered in soy sauce-like sauce.

Ervas munched into the large tentacle of the octopus, which was grilled and covered in sweet sauce, the texture was kind of like rubber, but because it was recently grilled, there was still a nice texture. Interestingly enough this was his first time eating octopus, as he had not tasted it in his previous life as Veronica.

"Octopus is not bad I suppose," he said, as he munched over the tentacle until nothing remained.

"I love it! So chewy! And you can even feel the flavor of the sea!" said Veronica, her eyes were about to turn into heart-shaped pupils by how much she ended liking octopus and squid, which were grilled and covered in delicious sauces to give it more flavor.

"I guess we have grown so different that even our preferences differ a bit," through Ervas.

"Ervas, Ervas! Here, have some fish!" said Pekorina, offering Ervas a bit of fish with her fork.

"Oh, thanks," said Ervas, accepting the fork and opening his mouth as Pekorina feed him like a spoiled little boyfriend.

"Ervas, me too! Have sea urchin!" said Amelia, offering a little, yellow-colored tongue of a sea urchin to Ervas, as he opened his mouth and tasted its sweetness and creamy softness.

"This is also a first… it is indeed very sweet… Hm," said Ervas, he seemed to like sea urchin more than the octopus.

"Here, I got you some lobster claw meat, look how meaty and big it is!" said Acathea, as she offered Ervas yet another fork with white and tender meat, which Ervas accepted and began to eat happily.

Veronica glanced at Ervas who was being served by his harem of cute girls, and couldn't help but want the same!

"A-Anna-chan, serve me food too!" said Veronica.

"Serve…? Like spoon-fed you? But Veronica you are not a baby anymore," said Anna.

"Eeeeh? Well, I was born as an adult, so I don't technically have a baby stage, you know?" asked Veronica while pouting.

"…Fine," sighed Anna, her wife simply wanted to be spoiled a bit, so she happily obliged.

Offering a spoon of fish to her, Veronica happily opened her mouth as she received the delicious food.

"Nom, nom~ See? That is what I was talking about!" said Veronica, Anna couldn't understand how goofy she was sometimes, even though she was so strong and intelligent at times… or just considering how she had hundreds of clones she controlled with her very soul at the same time, and despite that, she still acted like a young and cheerful woman.

Anna began to consider her future with her, and what was to come.

It has been a bit over 7 months since she met her but she was already too in love with her to even fathom to think that she would ever leave her, she was going to stay at her side for her eternity…

Although Veronica was Undead and did not age nor perished out of lifespan, Anna wanted to stay with her until the last moments of her life…

She had already considered that she would slowly decay while Veronica would remain the same… it was a dreadful thought that Veronica would slowly see her grow older and older… as she remained the same… seeing the love of her life slowly fade away into the sands of time…

But for now, she wanted to enjoy these little moments with her, to treasure the beautiful present she was living at her side… all the plans they had, all the things they wanted to do.

Things were not ending at all, and she expected many battles to come soon, many enemies that she would have to fight in name of her lover… but she was ready for everything…

She saw Veronica eating the food with her cheeks filled with food like a little squirrel, as Anna smiled warmly. Veronica was indeed very cute.

"Hm? D-Do I look funny?" asked Veronica as she swallowed the food.

"Heh… No, it's… I love you," said Anna, kissing Veronica.

"O-Oh? I love you too! What with that out of a sudden?" asked Veronica.

"Nothing… I just… was thinking… You are ageless, aren't you? I was just thinking that I will probably perish at your side… So I considered that I should enjoy every little time I am with you… To treasure these moments I am with you… So our love can last forever within your heart…" said Anna.

Veronica glanced at Anna's warm smile, as she sensed a bit of sorrow within her eyes, the thought of fading away while your lover remains, breaking their hearts to leave them alone once more… it was not something she wanted for Veronica.

Even though she knew that Shade was there for her… still.

"Anna…" said Veronica, feeling a bit sad as she caressed Anna's hair.

"I am… I am just so happy to be at your side… this life… is so filled with so many adventures and new things… I will… always remember these things…" said Anna.

"Don't cry, my dear… Don't worry, I am sure that there is a way to help you stay at my side for that time to come one day, but don't your race live pretty long anyway? Don't worry about those things for now! I kind of already learned a Spell that virtually regress your age through Death Attribute Magic so… Don't worry, hehe, you can stay with me as long as you want!" said Veronica, giving Anna a gentle smile, as Anna began to cry.

"R-Really?" asked Anna, as she felt a bit relieved.

"Of course! Don't be dummy…" said Veronica, kissing Anna passionately.

Their lips quickly separated once more, as Anna cleaned her tears.

"Sigh… I don't know why I was thinking all those dumb stuff… You are right, I am not even old. Actually, I am fairly young for someone of my race…" sighed Anna, she thought that she was just having stupid and unnecessary thoughts this whole time for nothing.

"It's fine, we often think stupid stuff sometimes. We are all normal people, after all, we think stupid stuff daily. In fact, I always think the stupidest of stuff," said Veronica.

"Haha… You are so funny… At your side there is no day where I am not happy…" said Anna, sitting over Veronica's lap.

"Fufu, I am going to make you even happier tonight~," said Veronica.

"Oh~? Alright then~" said Anna.

It seemed that Anna's worries were nothing to worry about, as a master of Death Magic had the power to defy fate itself and keep those she loved alongside her for eternity if needed…
