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

-----

"Well, if they try anything funny, we'll eat their souls and that will be it," said Ervas.

"I really wonder what could have happened to that world for so many reincarnated to be here…" said a cat-sized metallic ant resting over Veronica's shoulder, Daniel, a former reincarnation who was tamed by Veronica.

"Did the reincarnated hated each other or something?" asked Kireina.

"Well… Perhaps. No, yeah, they did. They definitely hated each other," sighed Daniel.

"But what if they try to join us?" asked Ervas.

Veronica glanced at Daniel for a bit.

"We will let them join us. We already did it with this ant. We just have to guide them first. Maybe making them eat our food and potions and other stuff…" said Veronica.

"Hm… Sounds fair enough. The ones at fault behind this were Hekaton and Bestellen, I don't feel driven by revenge as much as before… I guess it wouldn't be hard to forget them as long as they work hard for us," said Ervas.

"Indeed, they were brainwashed by Bestellen from a young age, and Eustace Guidance also helped with the brainwashing… To an extent, they were manipulated and used as tools to achieve what they did," said Veronica.

"Nonetheless…" said Ervas.

"If they dare touch us… or our family…"

"We'll make sure to crush them…" said Ervas.

"Indeed. We'll show Hekaton that we are not someone he needs to take lightly…" said Veronica.

Both split souls' crimson eyes shined brightly, releasing deadly auras, which made Daniel feel overwhelmed.

"I hope Eustace is okay…" he sighed.

Ervas and Veronica quickly went back to their daily activities, leaving Lance's aside for the moment.

As Lance barely managed to walk away with his life, Lucas, Natalia, and Mason were currently having lunch inside a restaurant near the one where Ervas and Veronica attended.

They had come here all the time, as they would often have the opportunity to see them around these hours of the day.

However, they were too fearful to enter Ervas and Veronica's restaurant, so they always kept themselves a few meters away from them whenever they wanted to see them.

Through all these days, they had been looking for a perfect opportunity to meet them, ask them for forgiveness, and then to join their crew, but it had been really, really hard to do that…

Mostly because they were too scared and indecisive.

Natalia had asked for the Danger Perception Skill from Hekaton, and she was able to detect that there was a tremendous danger in simply trying to speak with them.

They had to find a way to let them know that they had no ill will without actually speaking with them because even approaching them might trigger a negative response.

Due to a few assumptions, Natalia partially figured out that Ervas and Veronica already knew about them and were being extremely wary of them.

If they approached a little bit, they might get killed instantly.

It seemed that even in public they would still kill them anyways…

They… really needed to find a way to tell them that they were not enemies about allies, without having to approach them.

They could not even approach one of their weaker friends because Natalia's Danger Perception would trigger anyways, meaning that the two split souls had a way to instantly appear at the side of their friends in some kind of way.

Even when they tried to approach the party of kids that sometimes went to the dungeons, Natalia would receive this ringing inside of his head that death awaited her and those around her if they gave a single step forward.

Hopeless and left without a choice, day and day, they only watched them and tried to figure out some kind of way.

"Wait… can't we send them a letter?" asked Lucas.

"Letter?!" asked Mason.

"Lucas, this is a medieval world, there's no way there would be letters…" said Natalia.

"What are you talking about? I saw the other day that a few streets from here there is a mail office… We can send them a letter and tell them what we are, what we want, and where to meet them," said Lucas.

"…"

"…"

Mason and Natalia were left speechless.

The most obvious answer was right in front of their noses, yet they never realized it.

Although it was very stupid of Natalia to think that Kritias would not have an email system, at least in this large city where commerce flourished, letters were essential.

The trio quickly ran towards the mail office, leaving behind their half-eaten meal.

Meanwhile, Ervas and Veronica slowly walked inside their restaurant, after sensing the presence of these three once again.

"They went running away…" said Ervas.

"Something… what are they planning now?" wondered Veronica.

"Maybe something shady, we have to be cautious… They don't seem to have Foresight like Lance, so they might not utterly understand our strength compared to theirs and they might want to try out fighting us for whatever prize might Hekaton offers them…" sighed Ervas.

"Yeah… We will see. For now, let us leave a lot of traps around," said Veronica.

"Don't worry, I have left several of them all around. Whenever we want we can activate them at will," said Ervas.

"Alright then… Let's relax for a tiny bit," said Veronica, joining the kitchen with Gaius.

"Ah, you two are back! How did it go?" asked Gaius while cutting vegetables and then putting them in a cooking pot.

"He went away as we thought," said Veronica.

"He was more intelligent than we thought," added Ervas.

"It is rather interesting that conflicts end without intense life or death fights, I guess life is not always like a fast-paced anime," laughed Kireina.

Gaius ignored Kireina's words because he did not even know what "anime" was.

"Well, that's good. That man knew better, it seems. It is nice that you two can forgive him and let him go away with his life. May the Gods bless him so he does not strive from the path he's walking now," said Gaius, he was not really that religious, but he would sometimes say such stuff.

"We don't really care," said Ervas.

"Indeed, we do not mind, either way, if he wants to live on his own, that's fine. And if he wants to come and kill us, that is fine, we will just kill him first," said Veronica.

"Yeah, that's the spirit I guess," said Gaius.

As the day went by and night finally came, the restaurant was now about to close and Ervas, Veronica, and everyone else present at the moment decided to walk back home.

Kuro and her party had come to have dinner in the restaurant, so they walked back with their parents.

"Mommy can we have ice cream at home?" asked Kuro cutely.

"Kuro-chan, you already ate like a ton of food… Do you really want ice cream?" asked Veronica.

"Yeah!" said Kuro. Like her mother, she did not even have a stomach, and all the food she ate was converted into mana.

"Hm, I mean, why not? Let's make multi-flavored ice cream with the fruits Ervas can make now!" said Veronica.

"Oh! I love those! Straw… Strawberry or something was they called?" said Kuro as she began to get excited.

"Yeah! I never thought would get to eat them in Kritias…" said Veronica.

As the party reached Selene, one of the Undead handled them a letter sent to them recently…

"Hm? This is…" said Veronica, as she and Ervas began to read it.
