Death Guns In Another World

Sakuya and Luna didn't know how far the princess wanted to take this. But, thinking about their sister's personality, they decided to stay clear and just watch the proceedings. These two are so similar in so many ways.

Their glaring similarities probably led to them starting a fight with each other.

The auras they are giving off only pushed the other ladies back a little. But, for Alex, it was like he was staring down at the belly of the beast.

He couldn't help but gulp subconsciously.

They aren't going to start tearing each other's hair out, right?…

Alex couldn't keep calm at all. He would rather see them stay cool with each other despite how non-sensical that would look than the alternative where they try to rip each other's throats out.

'Harem's route is sure tough.' Alex thought before deciding to finally butt in.

''Okay, let's leave the introductions at this. We still have more time to chat so you two don't have to keep with this little game.''

Maria and Artemia started putting away their hostility towards each other. Ice blue eyes and deep blue eyes flashed with a hint of amusement.

"Alex is right…"

Maria concurred.

"We still have more time to do this later.

"Fufufu…"

The third princess tilted her head and she revealed a devilish grin.

"With the Ice Empress as my partner, I believe my days here will not be dull at all…"

"Oh? The Lightning Empress thinks so too?"

Maria beamed back at her. Then, they turned their back towards each other and they stood just like the other ladies.

With both girls flanking him, Alex had a very stiff smile on his face. He heard their rather ominous lines and he started sweating very hard.

He wondered if this was the karma of being too pious or doing too many bad deeds in his previous life.

Artemia glanced between Alex and Maria when an idea came to her and she started grinning like an imp. She pranced over to Artemia like a lovestruck maiden. She hugged Alex's arm and she practically glued herself to his side.

"Hey, my lovely finance…"

Her sweet our froze Alex up. Her words and tone are enough to set him on fire, burning with passion while his throat dried up.

Artemia ignored his reaction. She continued hugging his arm tightly, pressing her jugs against his arm.

"My love, since I just got here, I am afraid I am not well familiar with this area. What if you, my fiance brought me on a sightseeing trip?"

Alex started laughing uncomfortably.

Alex wanted to reply but a strange glint flashed in Maria's eyes and she narrowed her eyes. She was pissed off by this newcomer.

Artemia nailed her acting. The Ice Empress is a smart girl so she immediately treated this as an act of war by the princess.

Therefore Maria stomped over to Alex and started hugging his other arm with a faint smile on her face.

"Dear princess, you probably don't know since you're still wet behind the ears but Lex is a very busy man, he needs to settle a lot of stuff with other people in this world so he can't waste his time…"

The Ice Empress started lecturing her.

''Dear Princess when he's busy moving the world, we should support him like proper ladies, we shouldn't drag him back. Oh, I know, why don't I show you around?"

Alex's heart started racing. He was flushing red but it was not out of embarrassment, he was feeling very suffocated right now.

Maria bringing Artemia to get to know around?

If he allowed them to hang out with each other, they would probably start dueling in a secluded place somewhere else, right?

He started picturing two scenarios, both of which drained the blood away from his face.

1st Scenario: Maria seals the princess into an ice sculpture.

2nd Scenario: Artemia giving Maria the lightning baptism…

"Erm…"

Alex used a mosquito-like voice.

"I think it's better if I…"

The place fell into a stasis-Esque mood. Artemia's smile grew wider at the expense of the Ice Empress. The other girls also sighed in disappointment but decided not to intervene and just watch on the sideline.

"Fufufu, Alexander…"

Maria used a very cheerful smile but Alex still shivered from a bone-chilling cold that gripped him. It would be an understatement to say that right at the moment Alex saw hell. He saw an illusion of himself appearing in what seemed to be a ghost town.

'The once smooth network of roads that let to Kingcardine was barely more than a dirt path now and covered in shrubs and small bushes. Dry grass, dying bushes, and withering flowers are all that's left of the once well-kept gardens.

Many doorways still stood tall and in some cases, it was one of the few things left of a home. But most doors were completely gone and only remnants of rotten wood were left behind. Broken cars and rusty pieces of metal littered some of the larger driveways, stripped from all but their most useless parts.

Kincardine, once a growing community of hundreds of families had all but faded away from history. An eerie silence had taken over and was only interrupted by the cracking of wood in the wind and the occasional bird that had made its home in one of the many collapsed roofs.

The train station had collapsed and the tracks were covered in shrubs and fallen branches. Nobody was waiting for the next train anymore, no longer eagerly going to the next destination or waiting for those coming home.

You couldn't help but feel lost in this town now, even if you knew exactly where you were. It was a lonely place with only distant memories of what once was. But not all was lost. In a way the legacy of this town lived on through the animals that lived here now, the spirit was still alive albeit in a different manner.'

Right, when Alex thought he had finally escaped the hellish illusion, the next thing he saw was death, it feels so real that his brain tried to shut down wishing for peace.

'It hurts! It hurts so much! Please, make it stop, it hurts so much! I.. I can't make it stop! There's too much blood and it hurts so much, please make it stop.

But I'm standing, I'm still standing. My legs beg me to give in, to let go and drop to the soft grass below, but I'm still standing.

Somebody, please find me. I don't want to die, I don't want to die. There's still so much I want to do, so much I still need to do. Somebody, please save me. I can't do this on my own. I need to live.

I'm tired. My entire body is shaking, I can't keep this up any longer. I must lie down. It's okay, I just need to make sure I keep my eyes open. Yes, that's all. That'll save me energy too, I just need to make sure I do not fall asleep. That can't be too difficult, besides, help will be here soon. I hope.

I'm.. I'm going to die. Right here, any minute now. I can feel it, my body is growing weaker by the second, and there's no fixing this. Fine. Let this be the end then, but let it be a quick one. Just let go.

Everything is numb. My body, my mind, everything. I can't feel pain or think straight, in a way it's a relief. Soon everything will be over and I can rest forever.

Goodbye world.'

"I believe you still have other stuff to do…" The Ice Empress brought Alex out of his misery.

Maria slowly voiced each word in her sentence. She sounded sweet and caring but the killing intent can still be felt very clearly emanating from her words. Alex who went through hell just a few seconds ago knew he was playing with fire right now.

Feeling the air escaping his lungs, he put on a very forced smile and used a very hoarse voice to reply.

"I-it's okay, other stuff is not as important as you girls, right? You girls are the world to me…"

He accepted death. He couldn't do otherwise.

The Ice Empress said as she eyed the princess who grinned like the victor. She endured the urge to yell at her man. She lowered her head while silently cursing at Alex.

"Fufufu!''

Artemia chuckled while covering her mouth, she stood on tiptoes and whispered something into Alex's ears.

"I have a very special gift for you tonight, my fiance!"

She also made sure to use the sexiest voice she has to finish Alex off. At least he risked death for nothing, he got 'privileges' out of this.

Maria raised her head with a swish and she clenched her teeth in anger. She must not lose.

''Alex, I also...''

The Ice Empress chuckled and she offered the same stuff.

Artemia chuckled and she offered the same stuff.

'Hell! Women are sure scary.'

Heaven and hell are only separated by a thin line. Alex finally realized this concept.

Sakuya shook her head and she turned it the other way as if she was done with this.

"I see, the victor has been decided since the beginning, huh?…"

Today's battle result:

Alex's flawless victory.

Some thought it was Alex's aim all along. Mostly his sister who thought this.
