After being slashed again by my Kurokisei, he cried for help

“Help!!!” the hero cried

“I have been injured! Priest, HELP ME!” he added on

In which, the priestess ran to his aid

“Wait, I thought this was a 1v1?” I asked

“It will only be a 1v1 if you don’t have a party,” he said, coughing

The priestess then started to heal the wound, with her holy magic, but it didn’t seem to work

It only brought more pain to the hero

“Argh! What the heck are you going to be you, stupid priest” the hero said in pain

“I-I-I am trying!” the priestess said in nervousness

“Well, then use your healing! Are you the best priestess in the church?!” the hero asked

“I-I am!” she cried back in shyness

“Then use your best spell!” he replied

“I am!” she said as she applied more magic in her spell

“ARGH! STOP STOP STOP!” he shouted, in which the priestess stopped healing

The hero then looked at his wound

“What the heck is this, the curse of many scars?” the hero said, assuming that he used appraisal on his wound

“Are you telling me, a priest like you can’t even get rid of a curse from a sword?!” he said looking at the priestess, who was by his right side

“Well…” the priestess said

“You stupid priest, get out of my party!” he yelled, as he said those word, the priestess collapsed on her legs and started to cry

“I-I-I…” she said

“You win this time!” the hero said as he went back into his party

“Get us out of here!’ he said to a mage

“Do I bring the priestess with us?” the mage asked

“NO! Screw her! Let’s go, I need my wounds treated more than her” he said as the mage cast a circle

And with that they disappeared, leaving the priestess behind to ‘die’

The priestess started to cry harder as she was left behind and left in the Abyss, which was meant to the overworld as a sign of death

I sheath my sword and ran to her aid and then slowly approached her as I got closer to her, I slowly reached my hand out and placed it on her shoulder to comfort her

Luckily, she didn’t resist, since if she did I wouldn’t know what else to do

The priestess continued to cry and started to murmur the same words, “I got kicked out of the hero’s party”, “I got kicked out of the hero’s party”, “I got kicked out of the hero’s party”

This slightly creeped me out, but I have seen creepier things, I guess you can say

“Hey, are you ok?” I said to reassure her

“DO YOU THINK I AM OK?!” she cried, stilling having tears pouring out of her eyes

“T-this is the l-last party I will ever join,” she said still crying

“Once word gets out that I got kicked out, I will be stripped of my title as high priestess and will be kicked out of the church”

“That’s pretty harsh,” I thought to myself

“Where will I live, where will I sleep, how will I make a living,” she asked as she continued to cry

“Well, I-” but I was interrupted by the priestess again

“How will I…” she returned to crying as she couldn’t think of anything to add

“How about I-” I got interrupted again…

“I don’t know anymore!” she said

“As I said, how about I-” got interrupted the 3 times, but I was patient, but at the same time, I felt like she was purposefully interrupting me

“H-” she said, but I interrupted her instead

“How about you join my party!” I shouted, which she stopped crying and faced me for the first time

“R-r-really?!” she said in excitement as she crawled towards, clung my clothes, and looked at me again

“Yes…” I said in confirmation

“B-b-but, I am bad at healing, and, this is my 250th time I am joining a party *sniffle*,” she said

“250th time, isn’t she a high priestess?” I thought

“Yeah, you can still join my party” I replied

“Forever and ever?” she asked

“Yes, forever and ever” I replied

“Even after the party is disbanded, I can still be with you?” she said

“Y-yes,” I said, this time with less confidence

“Yay!” she said as she buried her face into my chest, crying in joy and swiping snot all over my cloak

“S-stop” I cried

“What did you say,” she said as she stopped snuggling with me, and looked up with very scary eyes

“Didn’t you say we will be together forever?” she said as she hugged tighter

“If you aren’t going to love me forever, then we might as well start a new life again together,” she said as she grabbed a knife from her inventory and placed the blade against my neck

“With this, we can guarantee that we will meet and love each other again,” she said, as she stopped crying completely

“Shit, she is completely broke, isn’t this what a yandere is and I don’t remember saying that I would love her forever?” I thought to myself

“Wait, wait, wait, wait,” I said

“What I meant, was for you to stop...uh….to stop hugging me so lightly yeah, that’s it” I said

“Really,” she asked

“Yes, really” I replied with a smile

“Oh ok then,” she said as she placed the knife back into her inventory and continued to hug me

I knew, if I were to ever upset her again, I will be killed, so I stood up with her still on me, and walked back to Talia and Lily, who saw what happened

“Welcome back,” Lily said, afraid to approach the priestess

“Ye-[Yeah]” I replied but was interrupted as the priestess grabbed my jaw, preventing me from saying another word

“Why are you talking to them?” she asked with her face still facing my chest

“T-t-they are in our party,” I said or tried to say

“Really!” she said nonchalantly

“Well then, my name is Mira and I am his #1 party member,” she said happily, all while still burying her face in my chest

“Well, my name is Yasu,” I said

“Yasu...what a great name,” she said as she continued to snuggle

“My name is Lily and she is Talia,” Lily said, but she got no response and only heard giggling and my name being spoken over and over again by Mira

“Yeah…” I replied

“Can you bring all of us back home?” I said, looking at the 3 unconscious people on the ground

“Yeah, sure,” she said as she opened a portal

“Can you, uh, carry them back for me, because…” I said pointing at Mira

“Yes, darling” she replied grabbing my finger, the words struck me, as I didn’t want to be called that

“Can you just call me Yasu?” I asked, while in pain

“Why would I, I have to make sure I am exclusive to you, compared to the others,” she said gripping my finger harder

“And it is bad to point at someone dear to you, isn’t it,” she said

“Yes, yes” I replied quickly

“Good~,” she said as she released my finger

And with that, I quickly hopped across the portal back into my room
