Episode 81 Whats Next

The day after Crono finished making the graves of the villagers, he dashed back to the capital as usual.

When Molly returned to the Cursed Wetlands after completing her chores, she found three of Cronos senior subordinates standing in front of her, acting like they were her superiors.

They were there to give Molly Cronos next order.

I am not going to let a man of. that race

Shut up. You stink of bones.

Huh.? What do you mean, stink of bones? How dare you?

On the land in the center of the Cursed Wetlands, Lilias merciless curses flew.

Hey, Molly

..You think Im the only one? Look in the mirror and youll see a fine skull. You think you dont count? Youre literally made out of bones.

Molly said, suppressing her annoyance at Solnadas unneeded sympathy, while Lilia simply delivered Cronos orders with no hesitation.

These are Crono-samas orders. Build a mansion or castle here. Make it as presentable and luxurious as possible.

.I refuse. I dont understand his intentions and I dont deserve to be told what to do by a man of his species. Kakka!

Kageha. Tell Master Crono that Molly has turned against us.

Thats a lie! I didnt revolt! Ill do it! Ill build a castle that reaches the sky!

In response to Mollys words, the monsters in the forest began to stir.

And the stench.

The smell? Youre hurting me just for the kicks at this point. Theres no stench! How about I buy you a good fight?

Green magic flared from Molly.

At the glimpse of the Lords power, the demons of the Cursed Swamp began to tremble.

..I apologize, I made a mistake.

Well, its alright if you understand. You are a child, be careful how you speak to your elders.

Molly relented since they too were Cronos subordinates.

That cloth stinks. Im sure you stink, considering the cloth smells like you and your bones! Lilias magical power swelled up, as she stared at Molly with a clear look of disdain.

Huh, good grief. Thats enough, Molly. Heres a new cloth for you. Its true it smells. I wont let you wear it in front of the Lord again.

Unable to bear the sight of them, Kageha interceded by offering a clean cloth.

Oh, and from now on, I will not allow you to create any more moisture. The Lords dwelling will be built there, so mist or humidity is not a good thing.

.Chi.

She took the cloth roughly and replaced it with the tattered rag at her waist.

.Do you even need a cloth for your bones?

Shes starting to talk again

Molly intimidated Lilia by burning her old cloth with a green flame.

For some reason, Crono liked Molly, but Lilia and the others did not like her.

Lilias tongue began to show its true colors, as she took the initiative in lashing out at Molly.

.Seriously though, why are you wearing a cloth? Why are you only wearing it around your waist? Is it supposed to be fashionable? I dont get it.

Oh? Are you frightened? Are you frightened of me because Im more fashionable than you? Are you jealous?

What?

This time, Lilia, pissed off at being provoked by Molly, put her hand on her Cutlass.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Stop it, both of you. From now on, were all under Crono-samas command, and well support each other

Kakka! How dare you!

Molly laughed at Kagehas renewed attempt to intervene.

She looked at Kageha with a fearless gaze, and said in a lower voice than she did with Lilia.

Do you think I dont know you want to kill me?

I dont know what you mean. I dont know what youre talking about..

You dont have to be so clever. As soon as His Majesty was gone, you threw killing intent at me. I dont like that. Compared to you, that little girl is much better. She said, pointing at Lilia with her jaw.

The empty holes of the skeleton were lit by a green light, and the two glared at each other with eyes as sharp as Kagehas sword.

An unsettling air of impending doom drifted between the two.

.Hahahaha. Im sorry. I wasnt serious.

Kaka, I dont mind if you

Its just that I hate you so much I want to kill you.

Isnt that being serious?

Molly was at the mercy of Kageha, who had no intention of hiding her motives or intent to kill.

Molly-sama is having fun like this.?

Dara~

Miss Lerga, what is.. It?

While Solnada was watching Molly and the others helplessly, Lerga was standing.. while drooling.

..Bones are delicious.

Wow. But, Im not a bone, Im a friend.

It seemed that Molly wasnt the only one who didnt get along with the girls.

Hmm. Thats enough. Ive never built anything before. Im under orders from His Majesty to look into that artifact.

I know. Ill draw up the plans, you cut down the wood and stuff. And rocks, lots of rocks.

Why is your plan so sketchy? Molly complained, and gave the demons a new reminder.

Le, Miss Lerga. I think Molly-sama is more chewy than me, dont you?

Haguhagu?

Solnada suggested to Lerga, who approached Solnada and bit into his goat skull, not leaving at any cost.

What are you on about?

From Solnadas head, Lerga gazed down at Molly.

I dont like because she stinks.

I see.

Kageha reached out a helping hand to Solnada, who was drooping down in frustration.

Lerga, its time to return to Crono-samas castle. Mist.

Kageha told Lerga, then immediately called out to the sky,

Mist!

Type-2, named Mist Saizo by Crono, descended.

Then well be heading back. Well be back tomorrow, so be sure to have some materials ready by then.

Lilia and Lerga jumped on, and Mist flapped his wings, carrying the three of them easily.

..Youre the only ones returning to His Majestys castle? Youve got a thick skin.

More so than you, yes, who has nothing but bones.

Molly couldnt think of an apt response.

So were not going to Mephis Island, are we?

Mephis Island?

Lilia tilted her head at the unfamiliar name.

Its the official name of that isolated island. No matter what you misunderstand, dont compare it with that place. Depending on what the Lord thinks, that place is more of an enemy territory.

So, is that it?

For some reason, Molly and the others remained silent as Mist flew off into the sky.

.I didnt expect it to be a separate place from Mephis Island. I thought he was a successor to the demon king. He seems to be a new demon lord with hostile relations.

Mm.

Its absurd..

Not sure what to do, Molly sighed as she gazed at the sky.

Solnada similarly kept his mouth shut.

But. a deal is a deal, right?

Molly muttered in a voice that sounded resigned.

Kokko! Youre going to be busy now, arent you? I wish I could help you.

Youre always so talkative, arent you? Are you so happy to be exploited?

So far, Ive done nothing but wander around here and polish jewelry.

Are you being sarcastic?

No, no. Im sorry if it seemed that way.

A moment of silence fell over the two, who were having what was their most interesting conversations in the last few decades.

.Solnada.

Yes?

Molly casually broke the silence.

Get ready for what humans call a. hot bath.

You were really injured, werent you?

The Swamp Demon was actually extraordinarily sensitive.

The silent Ark Cathedral.

Inside this cathedral, the headquarters of the Enze Sect, all the archbishops were praying.

After four hours of doing so, the large doors at the entrance slowly opened, and the archbishops hurriedly lined up on both sides to make a path.

I have just returned. Thank you for your patience.

Supreme Bishop, Benedict Ehrkman.

Thin and petite, with a soft, wrinkled face. An old man with a graceful little beard and thinning hair.

He wore the same fine ceremonial dress as the other archbishops, but he looked like any other old man.

Not at all, sir!

Oh Mr. Benedict.

Oh be safe.

As all the archbishops worshiped and revered Benedict, Amanda, who was supposed to represent them, stepped forward.

While all the archbishops worshiped and revered him, Amanda, who was supposed to represent them, stepped forward.

I apologize for the. while I was in charge during your absence.

Oh, Archbishop Amanda. No, no, no, no, no. Youve done well. Thank you for your letter. Thank you for your letter.. It must have been really hard on you.

Benedict, accompanied by his traveling companions, the Archbishops, walked up to Amanda and held her hand.

Master Benedict..

Amandas eyes grew hot as Benedict smiled benevolently at her.

Thanks to that letter and all of you, I was able to start the journey home. Weve got most of the details worked out, so its up to you, White Heavenly Lady, to do the rest.

What does that.. mean?

Benedict looked up at the statue of the White Heavenly Lady in front of him with a smile, without. answering Amandas question.

I have received a new command from the Holy Son.

Scarlet Chamber of Commerce.

Hildegard, dressed in what looked like a Chinese dress, returned from her trip accompanied by her men.

There were no daredevils among them who would admire her pure white thighs peeking through a bold slit, or her breasts so full that they looked like they were about to burst, instead following her with trepidation.

Lovely, beautiful, and intense.

Its not enough. We need more sales.

Any more than that, and some of our customers could be killed.

Do it. Nothing comes before profit.

I understand. Right away.

She ordered as she pushed the parchment she had read to Sasha.

The men, consciously ignoring the terrifying conversation between Hildegard and Sasha, followed the little Empress to the front.

Bring me some tea at once. I dont care what kind, but make sure its as warm as usual.

Yes, madam. At once.

Without waiting for the servants response, Hildegard entered the presidents office alone through the door Cain had opened.

With a slam, she heard the door close behind her as she went to her desk.

Ive been waiting for you.
