Chapter 2
Louis: Don't wanna die don't wanna die DON'T WANNA DIE!!!!
The little Archbishop of Gluttony was screaming from the top of her lungs backed up against a wall and slumped to the ground.
Capella: hahahahahha! Whatttttt? Scared? Not so mighty now huh?
The rather big Archbishop of Lust exclaimed in a mocking tone making fun of little Louis. Of course, one of her brothers quickly interfered
Roy: really now? A Spider?
Roy stomps on it squishing the little 8 legged friend to its death.
Roy: Capella, stop bringing spiders in! If you can't help that at least don't throw them on my sister! Can't you see she's scared?!
Capella: that's the point dip shit. Once she was fully scared I would've of course stepped in to save her so she'd start loving me!
Louis: what is wrong with you?! One perk of the hall of memories was that I didn't have to interact with you. You're insufferable!
Capella: Whatever. I'm gonna take a bath now.
While Louis snaps at her Capella simply pays no attention. Tho at Capellas declaration a loud male voice speaks up.
Betelgeuse: whatttttt?! But the food is gonna be finished in a couple of minutes! Won't you even wait to eat some of my well-prepared meals? How awful!!!
The voice belonged to none other than the Archbishop of Sloth currently wearing an apron while preparing a simple meal consisting of spaghetti and meat. And two other Archbishops were already eagerly waiting at dinner table
Sirius: oh my dearest! I'm sure your food will be delicious. I'll lick my plate clean till you can reuse it,promise!
Lye: while not so hyped I also can't await it! Not like Roy I know how to properly eat a good meal.
Roy: quantity over quality!
Lye: instead of rambling look after sister. Not that a certain someone here enjoys making her suffer again.
Capella: Mh? Why are you all looking at me?! I'll go bath now, I am not hungry anyways...
Capella waves her hand as if to shoo the gazes away before going into the bathroom.
Betelgeuse: she always was so slothful. Where is Regulus tho? He probably is hungry.
Lye: Eh? I think he's still outside. Even tho it's getting dark already...
In that moment everyone in the apartment hears a Loud argument going on in the street
,,this is a violation of my right! I only asked whether or not you are a virgin. How else am I supposed to tell if you're a potential wife or only waste product to tose awa- wait,wait. is that~? Hold on there's no need to use stuff like that! Aghhhh! My eyes my eyes! This city is full of cruel Monsters in Woman skin! Hey stand still!''
...
Sirius: Normally I ignore him but this was pathetic even for his standards, if this goes on he'll need glasses soon.
Roy: he's still trying to find someone to marry because he thinks that he will regain his authority.
Roy then remembers that Louis is on the verge of Crying
Roy: oh right! Louis....whats wrong? Tell me what happend before you got into this place. Lye also didn't wanna tell me what happend. I'm the only one who shared the events of what happend before my summoning!
Lye: even tho I still find it hard to believe you somehow managed to get Reid's spirit outside your body. Someone probably destroyed Solar Eclipse from the outside.
Roy: Sureeeeee! Someone managed to kill Reid. The first swordsaint in history. One of the three legendary heroes. He probably got bored of this and decided to leave on his own. Anyways..so Louis. Please talk.
Louis:.....nothing happened. Just leave me alone....
Roy: still stubborn huh? I just wanna know what made you this afraid of Spiders or really anything dangerous.You're leaving me confu-
Louis: I said I don't wanna talk about it,alright?!!
Louis spits back a little annoyed causing the other Archbishops to stare. She obviously is pissed off by Roy's persistent questioning.His Sister gives him a stern glare before putting her head back into between her knees.
Betelgeuse: dinners ready!
And so Louis little outbreak gets overshadowed by Betelgeuses voice,Sirius and Lye shaking the table in anticipation,the sound of water splashing in the bathroom currently inhabited by Capella,regulus yet another time being kicked into the crotch for harassing a women and Roy sighing while letting his hand go through his hair.
Roy: how did it even get to that....
A very good question Roy. Lets rewind time by a couple of hours to see how it came to this situation.
Regulus: pah! As if I'd stay in this apartment with any of you. It's revoking my right as a human being. I'm not an animal who is satisfied if I only have an roof over the head. I have standards!
Lye: No one cares! Let's be honest. None of us wants to leave this safe home right? After all this world is weird and unfamiliar.
Louis:...that's not fully true. I know where we are.
Roy: Sister! don't tell me? You weren't just rambling?!
Louis:that's right. This here is Subaru Natsukis world!
Regulus: Subaru...
Betelgeuse: Natsuki...
Everyone holds their breath. Ofcourse Regulus was first to break that silence
Regulus: So that guy isn't even from our world! And yet murdering me wasn't enough?! How dare he interfere in situations that aren't his bussines! Now I have to spend my afterlife in this trashy universe where every women I tried to speak to uses some sort of Weapon!
Capella: I feel like that's fully on you buddy.
Regulus: Listen her-
Here you stupid whore. That was what Regulus would've voiced out if it weren't for the green haired pale man in a black cloak violently scratching his head while screaming
Betelgeuse: Subaru Subaru Subaru! I can't believe it! I knew something was off about you from the very start. I felt the presence of a second authority inside you and I thought it was pride. But that you were taken by the witch from a whole other world and yet decided to kill me who's also a worshipper of her. Slothful! Oh how awfully Slothful!
Louis: Let's go inside and I'll tell you guys everything you should know. This world works fundamentally different from ours. I don't care about any of your fates except the one of my two brothers but it would be annoying to have you run around and maybe babble something out about the rest of us.
Not wishing to discuss the rest while standing the Archbishops all go into the apartment With Regulus of course leading them.
Betelgeuse: I see. The Witch has prepared well for us! 5 bedrooms,one for each Sin Bishop.
Indeed before them there was a white painted hallway with wooden floor, where 5 rooms were connected. Three on the left side, two on the right. Roy was first to open a door and after viewing the room for a couple seconds he called his siblings over
Roy: Hey! This one has three beds,three desks and three...weird red little books? I guess it's for us.
He takes a Quick Look outside the window gazing at the sun going up. His brother also comments on the sight.
Lye: We spent a ton of time arguing...it's already Morning. But this House is amazing. The quality is what you'd expect of a noble mansion in Lugunica.
Louis: it really is. It's also expensive. Most people in Tokyo live in Flats, but we are in an lone standing house. Well not that lone...We still have neighbors.
Next to open a door was one who'd you expect to make a move last, because of his title.
Betelgeuse: This one here has a very own praying corner. It is obviously for me,so I can further practice my beloved Witch rituals...
Sirius: I'll choose the room right next to Betelgeuse!
Sirius says while jumping in the neighboring room. It is decorated simply but that is more than enough for her,as long as she can be next to her beloved
Capella: I'll take the Pink colored here. The Bed is big enough for me to sometimes have someone else over.
Everyone already settles into their place while Regulus stands there dumbfounded. He was too slow
Regulus: you guys can't just choose an room on a whim! I would've proposed that we diplomatically decide who gets which room but of course you incompetent fools had to ruin it.
The Greedy Archbishop didn't even bother to wait for the others to say something even if he knew they would ignore him. So he stormed into the only room that was left. It's a Big Place with an comfy king sized bed and a lot of comfortable furniture. He smiles satisfied and clears his voice to speak again
Regulus: Let's ignore the room topic for now. We have a lot more important topics to talk about!
Capella: Always so eager. You lived 100 years already and still can't relax. How sad.
Capella obviously intents to provoke Regulus who obviously falls for it. Regulus stretches his hand out to grab around her neck but gets stopped by Louis shouting.
Louis: Stopppp! Kill Eachother later for what I care but if you're too loud in here the neighbors will call the Police. Then we're all going behind bars. Well at least you would!
Louis explains while pointing her index finger at Regulus, who without his authority is too much of a coward to face the Law. Hence he pulls his hand back and stays quiet for once.
Regulus: who even are you? You've been with the Gluttony twins all the time but I've never seen you before. Roy has referred to you as ,Sister' too...
Or not
Capella: For once I have to admit this Meatbag has a point. Who exactly are you?
Louis:...I am an Sin Archbishop of the Witchcult. Representing Gluttony and to be exact the aspect of Satiation. The reason why you've never seen me is because I've spend all of my life in the hall of memories. A place directly connected with Od Lagna.
Betelgeuse: an Archbishop? One I have missed! I am so slothful. To have missed an Blessed of the Witch. Please forgive me!
Sirius: it's not your fault! It's her for not making herself noticeable earlier.
Capella: Really? You don't like an Archbishop at all Youngling. But you seem to have knowledge from this..from Subaru Natsukis world. How so?
Louis: Details are none of your business but I have eaten his Memories. That's why I have deep knowledge about this place. But first. Let's sit down...
Agreeing silently, every Archbishop moves deeper into the house. The Hallway leads to an big wide living room with an open standing kitchen,dinner table and a door connecting to the bathroom. The Archbishops glance a little around before sitting down. Eagerly,bored or annoyed. They all look at Louis.
Louis: So where do I start....the planet we are is called Earth. It's in another fully different universe. This country is called Japan....
Louis yaps and babbles and rambles. Talking about everything she can squeeze out of Subaru Natsukis knowledge of this World. From complex math to astronomy to history, even school life and working classes are mentioned by her. When she finishes the Archbishops stay silent for a moment to let the new gained knowledge sink in.
Regulus: What do you mean this world isn't flat but instead ROUND, how doesn't the water fall off? You're spitting non-sense!
Louis: They have a weird force called gravity here that prevents it from doing that.
Capella: And they also have high tech crime detection technology? Like rewindable talking mirrors,traces by mere fingerprints and detectives?
Louis: indeed so don't commit an crime, as long as you don't want to end up in jail. This goes especially for you Regulus!
Regulus: Oh you're just begging for it now!
Betelgeuse: But....What do you mean the Witch isn't known here?
Louis:...well. She just isn't a thing here. They have a ton of different Religions but no witch cult.
Betelgeuse: I see....
Tears begin to flow out of Betelgeuses eyes.
Sirius: Geuse! Don't cry. If she is gone here this means you can shift all your focus on me!
Sirius tries to use the opportunity to strengthen her bond with him,but of course she gets disappointed.
Betelgeuse: so this is why you've send me here Satella? So I can spread the gospel to a whole other world! I knew you didn't send me here for no reason. I will never question your plans again! Oh how sorry I am! I was so dumbbbbbbbbbb!
Betelgeuse shakes his hand and shouts around while Sirius stomps on the ground mad because Betelgeuse still somehow kept his bond with Satella
Lye: anyways....so this worlds weapons. You're saying some of those could maybe even kill Reinhard?
Louis: yes I believe so...in other words. Without our Authorities we can forget it to keep acting the same as usual!
The Blonde Girl says this with full seriousness looking at the others sitting before her and next to her.
Regulus: as if I let something small like this tell me what to do! I've had enough of this. I'll go find a wife and then regain my Authority!
Without anyone attempting to stop him or him faltering the personification of Greed storms outside of the Flat.
Louis: next topic id like to mention. Those red books you've found on your beds? They're passports.
She demonstrates this by opening her very own and showing the inside to the rest of the group.
Louis: inside of them there are also little plastic cards. Those are our Id's. Both of them are important so we can even legally live in this Country.
Everyone opens their very own personal Passport
Roy: just how has a photo of me gotten in here? My birthday too! Who made these?
Louis: I don't know but we should be thankful. Us not having any identity was my biggest concern at first.
Capella: Can you tell us some more specifics about this this?
Louis:...I-I don't know.
Capella: eyyyyy? I thought you ate Subaru Natsukis memories. How useless! Maybe you're just lying after all.
Louis: I am not! It's just because my authority is gone, I can't just play the memories perfectly in my head like usually....i rather have memories of looking at those memories. But I didn't leave out anything crucial!
Capella: whatever fits your belief.
Louis: you prick...
Before the fight escalates any further Betelgeuse interrupts the group.
Betelgeuse: look at this. My Passport says I was Born on the 13th April 1995. This is so false it's slothful! Iam over 400!
Sirius: but my dear! Isn't the body you're currently inhabiting not exactly this old?
Betelgeuse: Sirius. You wrathful genius! This is why the Witch has chosen us two to spread the gospel. Were chosen! Feel proud of yourself!
Sirius blushes at the praise and fidgets with her fingers.
Louis: if that was all I have some tips for you. Betelgeuse and Sirius. Don't go out at all. You two look far too bizarre to not be suspicious. Capella. You can go out but take those two weird stingers of your waist. And my brothers....from now on don't refer to yourself as us but as I.
The reaction to those ,tips' differ like expected.
Betelgeuse: but how else am I suppose to spread the gospel! How am I am I am I!
Sirius: are you suggesting my Geuse is too ugly for the others? Then this country is evil and needs to be destroyed!!!!
Roy:...I-....I will listen. This feels unusual.
Lye: it really is....Sister is this really needed?!
Louis: Yes it is! We maybe have passports but still we don't know if there's still some way to dig up stuff about us. Also throw away all your weapons.
Capella: I don't carry weapons. How do I look like? A gross coward?
Lye: mine we shattered before I came here.
Roy: mine were taken off.
Sirius: I have been robbed of mine...
Louis: so atleast this won't be a Problem.
Almost simultaneously a growl shakes everyone's stomach. It's their inside asking for food.
Roy: right....we haven't eaten since long.
Lye: maybe this place has something?
Lye stands up and reaches for the kitchen closets....
Lye: what is Spaghetti Bolognese...that's the only thing there is here next to some Pots.
Louis: That's a simple but satisfactory dish....just follow the instructions on the back. I'll go lay down a little. I'm tired of all the talking....
Betelgeuse: Fine. Then I will begin to cook!
Sirius: ahhhhh! Yes yes yes! I'll eat anything you serve me.Even if it's just air I'd simply hold my breath till I suffocate!
Taking Sirius cheering as motivation Betelgeuse puts on an apron he found in one of the kitchen closets and reads the instructions. He plays around with the stove to get the hang of it. Lye already eagerly waits at the dinner table and Roy sits still on the couch. Louis looks around taking in the decorative. The house is kept simple. It has everything you need to live,but some stuff like TV's most people have simply are missing. They only have gotten gifted the stuff they need. Everything else seems to be optional for them...maybe that is implying that-
Before Louis could finish said strain of thought Capella grabbed a spider by the web and held it before Louis face making her fall from the couch and crawl back till she had only wall behind her.
Louis: Don't wanna die don't wanna die DON'T WANNA DIE!!!!
So now we're back at the beginning. Once dinner is readied,Capella finished her bath and Regulus has given up chasing women all archbishops sit at the dinner table eating the fully overcooked spaghetti mixed with the undercooked meat. They don't complain tho. The opposite. They praise it. Even a bad version of our food is better than an Medieval worlds best food over all.
Regulus: I didn't need to eat for 100 years so I can fully allow myself to get another portion!
Capella: don't eat everything away! I need to gain some kilos.
Regulus: you're fat enough!
Capella: EXCUSE ME?!
Lye: Stop fighting and enjoy this gourmet meal!
Sirius: ohhh Geuse. It tastes Wonderful! Excellent! I'd choose this as my last meal if I had to!
Roy: Mh? Louis. Aren't you gonna touch your plate?
Louis: there's still one thing we need to talk about.
Everyone stops eating and looks at Louis curious.
Louis: Stride Vollachia....
