Depraved Hero's Path: Enslaved Monster Girl Harem In The Apocalypse!-Chapter 36: Nascent Seer

Never was waiting for the bus as stressful as it was now.

Both Léa and Marianne stared at it with narrow eyes, one ready to leap away and the other ready to lunge at whatever would come out of it.

As the bus got closer and closer, moving through the dense forest that the park had turned into, they could imagine it filled with Goblins and other creatures that were banging on the windows and tearing up the seats, waiting for the next prey they would get to get to pieces. Since the bus was moving, someone must be driving it. They thought that a Goblin Chief might be able to do so.

They were both relieved and disappointed when the bus arrived and stopped right in front of them.

It was completely empty, except for the bus driver.

The doors opened.

"C-Come in." The bus driver gulped.

No one moved.

'Smells like a trap.' Marianne thought to herself.

'Must be a trap.' Léa nodded.

Elijah and Katherine exchanged a look, before walking up to peek inside the bus.

"Is this safe?"

"I don't know." Elijah's gaze moved towards the driver. "What's the deal here?"

"O-Once you step on the bus, you will be able to pay for your ticket." The driver explained. "It's 5 Achievement Points per person. You can check our itinerary here." He pointed at a map placed right beyond the entry.

"Are you serious?" Elijah asked with a slight frown.

"That's surprising."

"Oh, the itinerary didn't change much." Marianne muttered.

'A bus driver asking for Achievement Points...' Léa thought with wide eyes. 'Someone else is adapting to the world as fast as Elijah is!'

With suspicious eyes, Elijah stepped on the bus.

[Ticket Price: 5 Achievement Points.]

[Number of Tickets: 5.]

[Total: 25 Achievement Points.]

'Huh? I have to pay for everyone?' Elijah shook his head. It would be a bad look to be this stingy when having more than 33,000 Achievement Points. '5 is Katherine, Marianne, Zarath, me... Then is the fifth Chief or Léa? Since Chief is my Slave, that's who the fifth is, right?'

[Payment has been processed.]

[Welcome aboard!]

"Right..." Elijah muttered as he walked into the bus, followed by Katherine, Marianne, Zarath, and Chief.

"Yey, free ticket." Marianne chuckled.

Zarath tried to run, but was unable to sit before Katherine.

"Ew, get away from me."

As such, Katherine sat next to Elijah, Marianne sat in front of them, and Zarath sat behind them.

Since Chief could barely fit inside the bus anyways, Elijah ordered him to follow the bus on foot. The Corrupted Harpies were doing the same in the air.

[You have one Bus Ticket left.]

[Would you like to be reimbursed?]

"No." Elijah answered. "Come, Léa."

The latter needed a moment.

Indeed, taking the bus meant firmly placing herself on their side.

She stared for a bit.

If she left now, she could still find the rest of the students.

Léa sighed, remembering the people who used to sit around and next to her.

'There comes a time in a person's life when taking a gamble is necessary!'

A moment later, she was seated next to Marianne.

"Well, this is fun." The latter chuckled. "Feels like we're back to normal."

"There's nothing normal about this." Léa muttered, elbows on her knees and hands hiding her face.

Elijah tried to relax into his seat, but the scabbard around his waist seemed keen on not letting him do so.

"Want me to help you with that?" Katherine suggested. "I can hold it for you."

"No, it's fine." He answered. "On the other hand, you can tell me how I look." Elijah showcased the Knight's Scabbard and the Elite Assassin's Cloak. "Am I dashing or what?"

"You look really handsome." Katherine said as she reached for his cloak's collar and adjusted it. "I like it." She nodded.

"Katherine is lyiiiing." Marianne got on her knees on the seat to turn towards them. "You look like a cosplaying weeb!" She said while pointing towards him.

"He does...?" Katherine whispered, her gaze moving towards her own cloak.

Since hers was red and quite eye-catching, she assumed that made her look even more like a cosplaying weeb.

"N-No... Well, yes. But yours is fine!"

Emerging from the shadows behind Katherine and Elijah's seats,

"I think Master looks super super hot." Zarath whispered as she stood up and leaned forward, causing her breasts to rest on Elijah's head. "Ha... Haha..." The blushing Succubus smiled.

He raised a finger, and a magic circle appeared.

"Horny demon." Elijah reprimanded as the chain wrapped around Zarath's neck and forced her to occupy her seat. His gaze moved towards the frowning Marianne. "Are you okay?"

"Hm? Why do you ask?"

"You've been frowning at the sky for a while now."

"No, I haven't."

"You have." Léa nodded.

"I thought I was the only one to have noticed." Katherine muttered.

"I just... I don't know." Marianne stuck her face through the broken window and stared at the sky. "I feel like it's going to rain, but it just doesn't."

"You feel like it's going to rain?"

"Yes." Marianne sighed. "I mean, I think so."

"What makes you feel that way?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's not the rain. But then, what would it be?"

Marianne had been focusing on the sky quite a bit. She did so mostly to ignore the intense feeling of anxiety that has been harassing her ever since the First Main Quest completed.

"It's like... Maybe somebody is watching? Some kind of Monster?" She shrugged.

'Can she sense the presence of the Corrupted Harpies?' Elijah asked himself, the corner of his lips curling upwards.

He was wrong.

Thousands of kilometers above, the Administrator's lips curled upwards.

"Interesting♪"

Léa frowned while staring at Marianne.

"Hey, what's happening?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Léa pointed as she turned towards Katherine and Elijah.

Both got off their seat.

"Your eyes..." Katherine muttered.

A golden aura oozed out of her eyes.

"What? What's up with my eyes? Answer me! Do I have something on my face? Answer me-"
