Pov Nicole:

I went with Freya and Natasha to see Harthos, he is our contact on this island, during that last battle he was the one who convinced the others to listen to an unknown person like me, he was also the one I always see taking the lead most of the time since we arrived.

"Are you guys crazy? This is going to be so much fun to watch." (Natasha)

"I think our proposal will be very suitable for our contributions, we will also be solving a problem for them." (I)

"I think our request has a great chance of being accepted, I don't see the problem that Vanessa and Freya have been saying since before." (I)

"Did she really not understand?" (Natasha)

"I always thought you were weird, but you're on another level." (Natasha)

"Don't mind her, unlike the GM who sees the bigger picture, Nicole can only understand rational solutions, so she participates in few battles." (Freya)

"All these struggles would be an impediment to my own research." (I)

"..." (Natasha)

The only reason I agree to do these things during battle is for Dad, as well as the large amount of information relevant to my research that I manage to gather while others are fighting.

After a few minutes of running over the detailed ones, we arrive at the center of the city where the bodies are being piled up in piles, there were also bodies being lined up.

I don't even need to look around too much, I still have my Father's Lesser Familiars flying around, I know where Harthos is.

I fly to a hut surrounded by Adventurers, they tried to stop us from entering, but Harthos told them to let us through, inside the hut was Harthos covered in wounds and bandages, he was really hurt with a map on the table and a pile of paper on the floor.

"There's my pretty lucky star, if I could get up out of that chair I'd kiss you on the mouth." (Harthos) 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"I prefer to avoid intimate contact with strangers, I already have enough problems with certain insistent people." (I)

For some reason there are always people trying to drag me into these wastes of time, I'm glad they're attracted to this body I've created, but I'm disappointed that it's for the wrong reasons, they're just seeing what all the things I've done in this world look like body is the most insignificant, they fail to see the beauty hidden within this body, the amount of time, research and effort I put into creating this masterpiece of robotics.

"Is she okay? She was suddenly silent." (Harthos)

"She seems to have picked up the master's bad habit of getting lost in thought, please accept my apologies on her behalf." (Freya)

"I just had something to think about, unfortunately, some deviations in thinking are a flaw in the original design due to the process I went through to merge my Soul with this body." (I)

"If that's your only consequence, then you're lucky, but I don't think you came here to talk about it, did you?" (Harthos)

"Correct, I came to trade on the assumption that I talk to you about it." (I)

"Unfortunately yes, we lost two people who helped in the command, I was just the leader indicated for the battles, my versatility as a Combat Alchemist allowed me to fight enemies and heal allies, all at the same time." (Harthos)

Sigh

"I hate having more work falling into my hands, especially while I'm still recovering, but someone has to make the decisions." (Harthos)

What he said makes sense, but I don't know who these two command people are who died, I saw too many dying in the battle to associate who they are.

"So what's this deal you want to make?" (Harthos)

Freya was very insistent in saying that they would deny this proposal, she also prevented me from calling Hela to come along even though she was the most involved in this negotiation.

I still don't understand what to think, rationally speaking everyone will get what they want, we can even say that they will get a little ahead, so I don't understand why anyone would refuse, but to not risk it I didn't call Hela, instead, I came along with Freya who can help me convince him and I brought Natasha whose presence cannot be ignored as she is one of the Living Calamities.

"Before I start, I need to know if you have anything planned for these bodies." (I)

"The bodies of our Allies are being collected to undergo the proper burial ceremonies for each." (Harthos)

"As for the bodies of the people of the Church of Luz, here in the city alone there were 10,000, triple that number in the forest." (Harthos)

"The bodies within the city and surroundings we will strip all items before destroying the bodies, then we will finish everything off by purifying the remains." (Harthos)

"What will happen to the bodies outside the city, in the woods?" (I)

"They are already being destroyed, for Spirits and Fairies cleaning is much easier." (Harthos)

I've managed to gather some good information, but unfortunately, it looks like we're not going to get everything we initially envisioned.

"How will those who fought be rewarded? I would also like to know how the spoils each one is entitled to will be determined?" (I)

"The rewards will be based on the contributions of each person or group." (Harthos)

"For the spoils, each one takes what he can, these are things that Adventurers usually settle between themselves." (Harthos)

"I understand." (I)

"I'd like to do a deal where we'll give up our spoils and bounties in exchange for something." (I)

"You may be rushing ahead, your help mainly was the most outstanding, thanks to the information you provided us all the time we were able to significantly reduce the number of deaths." (Harthos)

"Then accept the deal, it will come out at no cost to you or the city." (I)

"You say a lot of things, but you haven't talked about this deal yet." (Harthos)

"I want to exchange all the bounties for the corpses, only those belonging to the people of the Church of Light." (I)

When I say this he shows no expression, but just by his look I can tell he's thinking, it takes a few minutes for him to respond still without changing his expression.

"Before answering your question, I would like to know what the bodies will be used for?" (Harthos)

"They will be used as a sacrifice in a Necromancy ritual." (I)

He still doesn't show any expression, but his eyes stray from me to Freya before looking at Natasha, then he turns his eyes back to me before he speaks.

"I assume it's a request from that Monster Kimera, I noticed that she is a Necromancer during the battle." (Harthos)

"You are sure." (I)

"Do you two know about this?" (Harthos)

"I don't mind." (Natasha)

"I know all about it, my master too, he was the one who asked his daughter to come here." (Freya)

He is silent for a few more seconds, this time with his eyes closed before answering. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

"I accept, but I don't want any kind of ritual being performed inside the island." (Harthos)

"I will collect all the bodies and…" (Harthos)

"Leave the collection to me, we can do it real quick." (I)
