Code Name: Ryu Two Seconds
“Help me!” “I have a family! Lady Elisabeth, plea—” Elisabeth walks past every cell in the dungeon. Screams pleading for her forgiveness reach her ears and bring a smile to her face. A sadistic smile. She walks to the end of the corridor, to a heavily guarded cell and latches the door open. After entering, her eyes fall to the person chained to the wall. “How are you feeling today, my sweet Ivy?” Ivy – dishevelled and bruised all over – looks Elisabeth in the eyes, then cracks a smile. “I feel wonderful. But it’s been five days since you captured me. I think I’m ready to leave.” “Still defiant as you were five days ago, are you? Well, I never expected you to submit willingly. Not after his death.” Ivy jumps forward, her face inches away from Elisabeth’s, but is held back by the chains. She stares at an unfazed Elisabeth. “Did I hit a nerve?” “I’m going to kill you. In the most brutal way I can think of!” “That’s not very ladylike of you. Plus, your village had it coming. They com
Code Name: Ryu Confrontation
Her name is Elisabeth Faith. But Elisabeth is clearly here in the Holy City. I don’t understand it completely but I’m sure this has something to do with her ability—which I assume can only be that. But knowing her ability and knowing I can defeat her are two completely different things. I’ll have to find the perfect time to catch her off guard. “You seem deep in thought, Haruki. Anything that I need to concern myself over?” she asks, glaring through me. “Just thinking how beautiful you are, Elisabeth.” She blushes. “Y-You think so?” “Yeah.” It’s not a lie. Elisabeth is extremely attractive. She’s more mature-looking than Louisa and Selina combined. Though, they do have their own charms. Louisa is still petite, despite her age. Her long, golden hair, red-purple amethyst eyes, and slender body make her look like a vintage doll. She has a cheerful personality towards her friends and a cold façade she displays to enemies. I guess now that she betrayed us, she’d show us the latter expr
Code Name: Ryu Key
The beautiful tune of the piano and violin duet plays throughout my entrance into the hall. At the end of the hall, standing before the officiant, Elisabeth looks back. Her head is covered with a veil, but I can see her beautiful face despite it. “Are you ready, Haruki?” she asks me when I stand by her side. “Let’s blow the roof off this chapel,” I say. She giggles. “Quite a weird way of describing this joyous occasion, don’t you think?” “I think it’s fitting.” “Yes, it is indeed fitting. Let’s blow the roof off this place.” I’m sure she understands the meaning behind my words. So, I take it your reply is a sign that you are prepared for anything I throw at you. Is that right, Elisabeth? The officiant begins, “We are joined here today…” His voice is muffled by my intense focus on Elisabeth. I need to make sure I attack when she is at her most vulnerable. Elisabeth is just smiling with her eyes closed. I can’t use that form now because it will only cause suspicion. She opens her
Code Name: Ryu Elisabeth Faith
“A large crystal… with a teenage girl inside…? What… is this…?” Everyone else stands in awe—Surprised by this sudden mystery. “Elisabeth… is that… you?” The crystal starts cracking. The cracks split the crystal into two and Elisabeth falls. I jump forward and catch her in my arms. This girl resembles Elisabeth. But she is not the child version or the adult version. Elisabeth opens her eyes. Blue, like both Elisabeths “Haruki…” she says. Her voice is like both Elisabeths'. “You finally saved me,” she says placing her hand on my cheek. “Are you… Elisabeth?” She nods her head. “Hey, Haruki, what’s going on?” asks Ivy, confused. I explain everything to them. “So, in this dream,” asks Selina, “a young Elisabeth was helping you out. But the evil Elisabeth was the one that had been terrorizing us. And you say this is also an Elisabeth? But not quite the same as either Elisabeths'?
Code Name: Ryu The Twin Wolves of Purgatory
“And that’s my story. Do you have any questions?” she asks, looking in my direction. Questions? I have wheelbarrows full. However… “The evil Elisabeth is coming. I can feel her presence getting closer,” I say. I look at Elisabeth and continue, “We will leave the questioning for after we reign victorious.” She smiles innocently. “So, do you have any idea how we can defeat the evil Elisabeth?” I ask her. “Well, she sealed most of my mana. I can’t do powerful spells to defend against her attacks. However, I have enough mana to protect your minds against Memory Magic.” “Protect our minds?” asks Selina. “Yes. Do you all know how to coat yourselves in mana?” she asks us. “Yes,” I say. “By concentrating, you can wrap your body in a layer of mana. This is called Mana Coat. Depending on the thickness of the coat, it can protect you from most mana attacks. However, physical attacks have a chance of seeping through if your mana coat is not properly applied.” “Yes, a mana coat can protect
Code Name: Ryu Titan
East of the Monastery “So, why did you choose to fight me, Selina?” “What a stupid question. Jinx, you know I could never defeat Yukio and Emihiko, let alone Doll. Plus, I chose you because I know we cannot fight each other, or have you forgotten, Jinx?” “…” ************** Inside the Monastery We have been walking for a while. It’s awkward. “Hey, do you think…?” I turn around only to see the girl charging me with a knee to the face. I move my hand to catch her knee, but she pulls back, drops to the ground, and kicks my spleen. “GAHH!!!” I’m sent flying into a wall, spewing blood. This girl… is dangerous. Her kick felt like it pierced through my skin. My spleen feels heavily damaged, and I also have a few broken ribs. If I don’t treat this soon, I could end up dying. The girl walks closer to me. Her footsteps crack the ground beneath us. Is this girl even human? Despite her cute appearance she has strength equalling a dragon’s. I don’t know any race with such a feat of physic
Code Name: Ryu Final Battle
“So, you have time to chat with your friends during our duel? How very rude of you.” “I see you’re not worried, despite every one of your servants being defeated.” “Well, I was never expecting much from that group of idiots. “ “Idiots?” “Yes, they were idiots. One was obsessed with me, two were just needy children and the other one was a titanic pain in the ass—pun intended.” “Guess someone is getting the award for boss of the year. You pay such close attention to those serving you.” “Not just those who serve me. I make it my hobby to know everything about everyone. However, knowing everything comes with its negatives as well. I’d like to tell you more about it, but it seems both of us are tired of speaking.” “Yes. Let’s converse through our fists.” As I was fighting against Elisabeth, I realised something. She is using magic other than Memory Magic. She has been using fire, water, and even rare magic like Spatial Magic. If I remember correctly, Elisabeth said something. What w
Code Name: Ryu The Sakura Kingdom
After defeating the evil Elisabeth, the citizens of Glabaskhan threw a huge banquet to celebrate their freedom and their saviours. Unfortunately, we, the guests of honour, could not attend the banquet. We had to disembark to the Sakura Kingdom and discuss future plans for Grand Order. "Hey, Haruki..." And we also need to appoint a new cross to take Louisa's place. "Hey, Haruki..." There is also the issue of... "HEY, HARUKI!!!" "Are you crazy!!!" I say covering my ears. "I can't help it, I'm bored." Elisabeth has been bored since we boarded the train. Unfortunately for her, we still have another two days until we reach the Sakura Kingdom. "Hey, why don't I just ride you?" she asks. "Ride… me? What do you mean?" I ask, flustered. "I mean hitch a ride in your dragon form," she says tilting her head in confusion. After thinking for a few seconds, she smirks and says cunningly, "What do you think I meant?" "N-nothing," I say, embarrassed. I’ve become overly self-conscious of El
