[EV-F1] "Fear the Reaper!" (pt. 2)

[Arabelle 0]

"Just as I expected!" Arabelle hummed to herself proudly. They continued moving forward, giving the center stage a wide berth, and keeping out of the others' way as best they can. Still, she didn't let go of the other girl's hand. An could stumble behind or something, Arabelle wasn't about to lose her all of a sudden just because she was too slow. "You have just the right HP to keep a mob's attention on you while I regenerate energy. When you're only facing one though, any more and you're done for. So don't be too scared~. Your senpai has this all under her control."

She would have earlier too, if Mishiro hadn't wandered too far from the group.

And once again, there was a group of zombies they couldn't simply avoid. The small purple-haired girl readied her scythe and let go of An's hand. Momentarily leaving her teammate behind, she cleaved through the creeps with a wide, inflamed swing.

"S-Senpai?!" An effective diversionary tactic! She practically forgot the other girl's mention of anticipating the fight between her and the zombie would go that way - that she would be one critical hit away from death, even - when Arabelle brought up her new self-proclaimed status. An blushed, suddenly hyper-focused on their enjoined hands. Then... did that mean... she could openly call her 'senpai'? And not have to worry about expressing her admiration too much, even? An had watched enough anime to know what that trope entailed.

Ehehehe--

She snapped back to reality when Arabelle sprinted in front of her. There wasn't the signature military uniform she had gotten so used to seeing earlier, but the black and green clothing that she had changed into. The clothing she was supposed to change out of. "Hey, wait, I thought you were going to equip your armor!" An yelled. For her part, she hadn't gotten the chance to earlier and she was feeling completely defenseless. "Did you not have the time? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you must have been so focused on dodging attacks yourself! Arabelle, once I handle one of these, you can stand back again. You need it!"

She thrust her rapier into one of the zombies that survived and dispelled the data fragments that became of it right after with another swing of her rapier. There was another one left, and she faced it with a determined glint in her crimson eyes.

For her senpai's acknowledgement!

"It might be better," Arabelle began, wagging her finger in the air like her scary teachers at the boarding school used to. "To ask why first. So, why? I like the new style, that's all! Hmhm~, I think that military uniform's forever been part of my image and I want to change things up a little! Isn't that what most anime characters do in filler arcs? For the fanservice and all that. Oh, but that's not to say that I don't look as good in that uniform. All I'm saying is, a little change from time to time wouldn't hurt.

"Besides..." Arabelle raised her scythe as three more zombies stalked over to fill in for their dead comrades. (Heh.) "These things can barely even damage me. Like... one critical hit has to be around eleven. I feel like this fight's losing its thrill, you know? So, I'm evening out the playing field!"

With a grin, she launched herself straight into the middle of the group once again - sending one flying with her scythe and cleaving her scythe through all but one of the remaining zombies.

Cricket noises.

If this were a comic, or an anime, An would've had that comical circle of dizzy yellow stars going round her head. Just... for style? An was also rather interested in fashion, she liked making herself look pretty like most of the girls she knew, but the idea of Arabelle nonchalantly putting herself in more danger just to wear a pretty outfit - or... for the additional reasons she didn't understand, despite having watched a few anime series herself - was completely foreign to her. 

She had a minor flashback to that one time she went into a goblin cave alone to find materials for a profession quest she really wanted to finish.

Yeah. It was completely foreign to her.

It was at the second part of her reasoning that somehow brought some understanding on An's part though. She knew pretty well that there were people here who came to like fighting even with the risks that came with it. She met someone else like that herself. But for An's part... fighting was more of a means, never an end, and she didn't particularly like it either.

An remembered her senpai's smooth, graceful movements. Her confident smile.

Did that deserve to change?

She glanced at the one mob Arabelle had missed, before going straight for one of the mobs with lower HP. Maybe it was because she didn't have her attention entirely on it, but she missed and now all three zombies went for her teammate.

Uh-oh.

That was a bit of an oopsie~!

Was what ran through Arabelle's mind when she noticed her earlier attack had left one at full HP, while only completely killing one. Oh, darn. And right when she was having all that 'evening the playing field' talk. She realized that An had gotten a bit quiet. That was a bit unusual, the girl usually tried to put in one comment at least - and her embarrassed reactions were the cutest. Almost made her want to try calling her 'kouhai-chan.' "What's up?" She raised a brow at the girl who was eyeing the strongest mob of the bunch. "Ah, don't worry about this guy~. I'll handle him myself. You-- go for the ones that are still weak. That's the drill, yes?"

They'll talk later.

An missed her attack. Which meant she now had three mobs coming at her instead of the two she had been expecting. Oh, hell. Arabelle easily batted away the first two, tried to jump back, only to be stopped by the last zombie sinking its teeth into her arm. Oh, ewwww. "Get off!" She sent her fist sailing at its face and as it reeled backwards, she swung her scythe upwards and cut it in half. The movement allowed for the other two to come in and take a chomp of their own, but she quickly separated herself and jumped back.

There must have been something in her stare that made Arabelle repeat what she was supposed to do.

"Yes, of course!" Even an amateur like An knew it would take her forever to kill even one of these things. Or maybe it was... specifically because she was an amateur that she knew she would take forever to kill a zombie. Either way! The silver-haired player faced off against one of the mobs attacking Arabelle. At this point, both of them were really weak now, she at least had some confidence in knowing that she was going to kill one of them!

Again.

Not.

She wasn't even trying to use a Sword Art. She went for the most basic of basic attacks, the sort of attack where literally nothing could go wrong! Yet still, the zombie slipped out of her range and once again moved forward to attack Arabelle. Her teammate's health was barely of any concern with the way it was at the moment, but looking at these mobs and their strength... An's thoughts drifted over to their missing third teammate.

Fighting was fun.

...mostly when it was just Arabelle showing off how good she was. But being good comes with practice and she sometimes had those times while practicing when she would unexpectedly do something that impressed even herself, so she supposed even the parts where she wasn't showing off had its own level of fun too. It had to. She was not the type who did boring, tedious things continuously in hopes of achieving some sort of decent reward in the end. Unless she had been forced into it. And unless the reward was really good. 

"Think about the drops, Arabelle!"

The small purple-haired girl's expression turned dreamy for a second before she was literally slapped back to reality by the one zombie An had been trying to kill since it spawned. How utterly disrespectful. Arabelle ignored the other - it sort of charged at her then fell over or something - and stabbed her scythe's blade through the intrusive zombie's chest.

If Arabelle was having that much trouble defending against three, then what of their third teammate who had disappeared behind a large mass of zombies? The one they heard crying? An shivered. The girl had been so quiet earlier... even though she was nice, she only spoke when talked to or when it was absolutely necessary. And even then, she had been calm, monotonous. No matter what, An would never be able to bring herself to forget that moment. 

All that fun she was having and yet...

She turned to Arabelle, who was surprisingly still mostly unconcerned. Or was she just feigning it? One zombie easily went down at the end of her scythe and An figured she was maybe just a bit focused. On pushing through this mob. On finding their third teammate again. A new spark of determination lighted in her eyes. The horde was thinning out once again. One more kill and they'll be moving forward!

An executed two quick slashes, feeling her rapier cut through its skin, before jumping back and getting ready to move.

But the zombie regenerated. It hauled itself up and stared straight at her, the corners of its mouth stretching into a morbid grin.

An really was having trouble with these guys, wasn't she...? Ever since they started fighting, the girl had missed most of her attacks and the ones that actually landed triggered off that annoying ability of theirs. She could only attribute the latter to horrible luck on their part and the former... was a bit more complicated.

She would never say this out loud, but she missed the more reliable Mishiro!

Arabelle quickly followed up after her teammate's failed attack. Twirling her scythe, she moved in to cut it down before it could regenerate once again. And that made the second round of baddies! With the horde sufficiently thinned, the two were able to move forward once again. 

Slowly.

The small purple-haired girl had dropped behind An with an innocent smile. "I used up all of my energy on that fight, so you're going to watch over me again. Please take care of me... kouhai-chan~!"

"Geez," An huffed with playfulness coloring her tone. "If it weren't for that one zombie, I'd have racked up a few last hits by now."

And that was yet another round of battles where she had literally no contribution. This had to be the worst one yet, she thought to herself with a frown, and that was absolutely frustrating. She wanted to be of greater help and yet it was always her lack of skills or these mobs' weird abilities getting in the way. So when Arabelle dropped back again, An felt weirdly relieved - even if it meant having to put herself in danger. She took a stance with her rapier and responded enthusiastically, "Right! Your new temporary bodyguard is at your service!"

They moved forward - slowly - and almost completely stopped when they reached another group of mobs they couldn't avoid. She couldn't take on all four though. Holding out a hand to Arabelle, An waited for one zombie to wander off a fair distance from the group and then crept forward with her rapier, carefully keeping an eye on the others. When she got close enough, the zombie raised its head and began stumbling towards her with a growl.

She activated a Sword Art, set off her starting position, and made two quick slashes at her target.

Arabelle was kind of starting to like the taste of cider. There was nothing better than drinking something that tasted good and seeing your HP flow back to full once you're done. It was no foul-tasting energy drink, but it was refreshing in its own right. 

Her teammate didn't have as much of a reaction to being called 'kouhai-chan.' Slight disappointment. She thought that with that reaction to her first remark, she could tease the girl a little bit further. Instead, there was that spark of determination and oh my god, she actually critted against a zombie for once. Arabelle blinked, watching the zombie momentarily stumble back with two slashes across its chest. Then she hopped out of the way when it recovered just as quickly and tried to attack An. Unexpectedly, the girl had gotten away in time and Arabelle observed the rest from atop a plastic chair with a smile.

"That was lovely. Keep it up!"

No criticism. Just. Pure. Praise. An thought she felt all warm and fuzzy inside at the compliment and it only motivated her to do more. With Arabelle safely out of the way, she fired up another Sword Art and slashed swiftly at her opponent... only for the zombie to completely void the attack by batting it away with its arm. It advanced with a series of threatening growls and struck her before she could put her guard up, but she at least managed to thrust her rapier between them and pull herself away, leaping further back to safety.

"I'm sorry, I thought I had it!"

Apparently, Arabelle's praise could only get her so far. Maybe it was the game telling her not to feel confident, not until she still lacked a full +3 ACC trinket. Maybe it was the game telling her she was straying from their primary motivation.

An glanced at her teammate, hesitated, then: "You're on a high spot. Can you find her? Or - oh! How about sending her a PM? It's been a bit too long now, right...? Either she's already in safety or..."

She couldn't bring up the next words and she was sure Arabelle didn't want to hear it either. Turning around, she threw herself back into combat once again.

--And right after she praised her, An went and missed her attack and the zombie came forward and tried to snack on her. Lovely. Arabelle was on the verge of literally facepalming. It seems that with everything An did right, she did three things wrong in turn. Nothing personal, An, but the small purple-haired girl was already bored enough as it is and right now, all she wanted was to watch a fun fight.

Watching fights was fun, too! Kind of... when it wasn't a completely one-sided beatdown anyway. She had gotten into the habit when she learned that players dueled each other in the central plaza from time to time. Friendly duels. She had never once seen a duel to the death in the middle of the safezone, but then again, that was sure to draw some intervention from the audience.

Arabelle smiled down at An.

"Why do you think I stood here instead of keeping myself on the ground where it's easier to move...?" 

That's right. Senpai already had that idea in mind, but her contribution was appreciated nonetheless! She surveyed the audience area, found none but there were some parts her height couldn't allow her to peek into, and turned her head to the central stage. Where could a depressed 17-year-old be at this point...?

"It's fine. She'll send me a PM if she gets to safety. My sending her a PM might just be a bother. Don't worry though, An." The small purple-haired girl met her teammate's probably confused gaze with a confident smile. "We're not the only ones here who can help her."

There were practically stars in her eyes. Arabelle already had that idea in mind? That movement... that dodge towards the chair had been with another deliberate intention? 

As expected from her senpai.

An and her opponent traded blows. One hit and the other was effectively deflected. Surprisingly, she was the former. She stabbed her rapier at the zombie and forced it back and away from the small purple-haired girl atop the plastic chair. She was still looking about the audience area, then at the boss fight at the center, then back to An.

"Oh, right!" Her interactions and contributions had strictly been limited to what she could do inside her team, but there were other players around them too! In their own teams, sure, but if they were half a decent person they would go out of their way to help someone who needed it. "There are also some frontliners here, right? What if she's with them? Considering where we last saw her I mean." As evident in her goofy smile, she was trying to shift the conversation to... better outcomes. "Think she can get an autograph for us? Oh, but I forgot to ask first - have you ever met a frontliner personally?"

That wasn't exactly what she meant, but now that An mentioned it, there were other players here too.

Whoops?

Arabelle could hardly be bothered. As long as they did their job, she wouldn't pay the other teams any more heed than necessary. Of course, the necessary simply entailed keeping well out of their way so they wouldn't crash into each other and keeping an eye on their own mobs so she wouldn't accidentally steal the kills of another team and make more of a mess than this literally godforsaken event had already made.

"If you know of that famous blacksmith who offers discounts to low-leveled players, I took a quest with that guy once. He helped me find a familiar and even gave it a cheesy name." Other than that though... she didn't remember any other details of their interaction other than him jokingly calling her a 'Disney princess.' That had been a bit of a laugh. "Oh, now that I think about it, I promised him another quest. Oh well~. And also, technically, my guild leader is a frontliner." The thought of him brought a small smile to her lips. "Want me to tell your more about him?"

A blacksmith who offers discounts to low-levels...

An exchanged blows with the creature. Neither was able to avoid the attack of the other, but for the zombie's part, it wasn't even trying. Crimson eyes flitted up the health bars on her upper-left. One hit from the zombie took 15 HP, and one hit from her - if she was really lucky - took 5 HP. Definitely not an even playing field, but Arabelle's now full energy bar was a welcome assurance.

"Oh, that guy!" An suddenly remembered. She raised her rapier into the air for Arabelle to see and grinned. "I've met him. He made me this weapon. I'm guessing he made your scythe and Mishiro's axe, too? They're both very pretty."

She'd always thought blacksmithing was an interesting profession, simply based on the weapons they could make. But An wasn't too interested in actually learning the craft and going through its daily grind herself. It was one of the things she was just content with observing from afar.

"I can totally feel you hyping me up for this," she continued with a teasing smile. "Is he the guy you were talking about earlier...?"

"For both of my scythes, yes. For Mishiro's axe, no. The second one was bought from the weapons another player-ran shop had in stock. She didn't have any choice on its appearance, or its name, or the weird vanity effect that came with it." Oh, vanity effects. How she wished she had one aside from the typical green flame-like aura that surrounded her weapon whenever she activated a Sword Art, but it would probably just get in the way like Mishiro's does. "If you noticed earlier, it gives off a weird black smoke. That's totally cool and all, but in a small space with low visibility, it starts to pool around you and make everything even worse."

She never thought she would be saying this. But for her weapon, simple practicality was better!

"Hmm... let's save that for later. I'm all fully energized, so let's go!" 

An was making a terribly wrong assumption, but Arabelle decided no harm would come to teasing the other girl for a while. Barging her way through zombies with her partner close behind, the small purple-haired girl only stopped when they were finally surrounded. She checked to see if An was still close by. Then she whirled around and unleashed a flurry of attacks with her renewed strength.

"Oh, huh..." She remembered the unusual black aura surrounding Mishiro earlier. That was all from her weapon? Vanity effects was a somewhat new term to her, they were probably a bit rare but unexpectedly, An didn't have as much of an interest in them. "That makes sense. If I were to have one... no, I don't really know. I'd want my rapier to be simple and easy to use more than anything!"

An puffed out her cheeks at Arabelle cutting out that part of the conversation. But that was the part she had been looking forward to! It was even more interesting than frontliners. And... she couldn't deny that she was sort of curious as to what type of guild the small purple-haired girl was a part of. "So unfair!" she huffed playfully as she ran after the girl. "You knew you were about to regenerate all your energy when you brought it up!"

Accusations aside, she was low on both health and energy. Even without her doing anything, she felt short of breath and every movement seemed more difficult than the first. As she slowed to a stop behind Arabelle, she found herself weirdly relieved that the girl completely missed one of the mobs instead of leaving it at 1 HP for her to kill. This should be enough.

An uncorked another small bottle of cider and drank.

"Ara, ara? That's a bold accusation to level at your superior," hummed the scythe-wielder. She fended off a mob before it could get too close and noticed An's HP had returned to full. Lovely. She was off babysitting duty - for some part, anyway. At least she didn't have to think of keeping them away from An too much. The girl should be able to handle herself at full HP, even against a group. "Don't worry, I'll tell you soon enough. How about using it as motivation to get through these mobs?"

Another set of reinforcements. Another swing of her scythe. How many had they cut down so far...? These guys honestly seemed as if there was no end to them.

Again, one remained - having been just far enough to react quickly to the attack coming at it. "Oh, don't go for that guy though. Just saying in case you got a bit too motivated."

An was calling it now. Arabelle's guild leader was either the boyfriend she had been gushing about or they were currently on good terms but something special had happened once, something that extended a little past friendship. Unless Arabelle was that much of a tease, she wouldn't have even spoken about him(?) in that way when they had just been talking about frontliners earlier.

Whatever the answer will be, An was still curious!

"This one's all on you, then!" She didn't move from her spot though. That mob's HP plus her insanely low energy that was slowly starting to wear her down did not make for the most compelling argument. So when the zombie suddenly lunged, going right past Arabelle and at the girl who had literally not even made a single move since the battle began, she was too stunned to dodge.
