Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Mettany and Tamya dropped their aggressiveness when the woman dropped her sword and mentioned Avion's name.

Pushing Edora aside, releasing her, the woman sat and asked.

"How do you know Avion?"

Edora with a nerve popping out of her forehead stood up and menacingly looked down upon the woman.

"That's what we should be asking you."

"Avion is the one I'm talking about earlier. My rival, Avion Teller. So, how do you, insignificant people, know him?"

"Insignificant..." Edora was taking hits but she knew she is no match against this woman.

"Know him? I don't just know him, I'm his wife!" Mettany immediately responded.

But the woman didn't react, "There is no way Avion Teller would take you as a wife. Answer my question."

"Yeah, she's right, Mettany." Tamya suddenly followed.

"Whose side are you on!?" Mettany growled.

Tamya ignored Mettany and blushed.

"As for me, I don't know about Avion. We don't really have anything between us."

"Then why are you following us?" Edora coldly asked.

"Oh..." the woman seemed like she finally got it, "So you people are Avion's harem. I get it. Yes, yes, lucky for you, Avion's harem, I can consider as my harem as well."

"What is this woman on about?" Mettany mumbled.

"Avion's harem," this time, Edora spoke, "I'm not anyone's property. I'm Avion's s-... follower."

"You want to say slave back then, don't you?" Mettany thought that she's pretty normal compared to this girl.

"..."

'Why isn't she denying it!?' the woman inwardly exclaimed but didn't ask since she felt weird about it.

"I see that we are all on the same side." she just said, "However, you may all be tricking me. Tell me your names and backstories. I don't trust any of you first. You need to prove your loyalty to my rival first."

Edora: "My name's Edora, why would I tell you my backstory?" 

Tamya: "Mine's Tamya, we don't need to prove our loyalty for Avion to you. And what kind of loyalty are you even speaking of?"

Mettany: "I'm Mettany, Avion cannot have a harem. He's only mine."

"Then you can call me Marin. I am once a Goddess but once punished by the Godking that I became a mortal. Only once I became a peak of this world will I be able to reobtain what I've lost. Avion is the only rival who will be the path for me to that peak even as a mortal."

"... you're the one who we cannot trust, actually." Edora sat down and casually said.

"What?" Marin seemed shocked.

'Isn't obvious that I'm actually a Goddess at first? Normally, they should be shocked that I'm a mortal right now.'

"Why can I hear her thoughts from her expression alone?" Tamya mumbled.

Sighing, Mettany got on the front and made the horses run again.

"So when did you meet Avion?" Edora asked.

Marin frowned at this, "I'll forgive your disrespectfulness since your part of Avion's harem but restrain yourself."

'Why is Edora not denying anything?' Tamya thought to herself.

"As for your rude question, I've met Avion a long long time ago. However, we met again last night. It seemed that he lost his memories."

"You mean you hit on him?" Edora looked at Marin like she's full of nonsense.

"Hit on him?"

"You tried to pick him up."

"Pick him up?" Marin's frown got deeper.

Edora sighed and explained, "You're so insufferable but it seemed you're innocent."

"Insufferable...?" Marin mumbled as her face twitched.

"What I mean is that you tried to get close to Avion so that you can pull him somewhere and do it."

"Do it?"

"It means sex." Mettany blushed.

Meanwhile, Tamya covered her face.

"What are you talking about!? How did the conversation lead to sex!?" Marin shouted while her face is getting red.

"I told you... they're perverts..." Tamya's muffled voice whispered behind her hands.

"Heh... you act all high and mighty but it seemed that you're still inexperienced." Edora laughed, getting revenge for getting humiliated earlier.

"Said by the masochist who only has the experience of soloing." Mettany blurted.

"Tsk!" Edora strongly clicked her tongue, "Avion and I are almost there! And tell me, who's here have experienced it!?"

"...."

"See!?"

"And what the fuck do you mean you and Avion are getting there!?" Mettany shouted from the outside, "You wanna go!?"

Edora unsheathed her sword and waved it outside, "You only dare to divert the topic but yeah, I'll beat you!"

"Yeah!? Then come here!"

"No, you come here!"

"No, you come here!"

"No, you come here!"

"Haaa..." Tamya heavily sighed behind her hands.

"Is... this normal?" Marin asked.

"Yes, they're stupid, I know." Tamya replied.

"Said that person whose deepest desire is Avion." both Edora and Mettany suddenly said.

"What!? That was not the case! That was just an accident! And it was my first time using my Immoral Power!"

"Excuses!" Mettany shouted.

Edora sheathed her sword and asked Marin.

"Back to the topic, who are you really? There's no way you're a mortal."

Marin shook her head. In the background, Mettany and Tamya were still arguing.

"I haven't told a lie until now."

"If that's true, what are your plans when you get there." Edora pointed at the hydra.

This stopped Mettany and Tamya and listened. Even they weren't sure about this. They just knew that the Rank Es Elementalists must be there and if they are there, Gamon should be too. That led them to think that Avion is there as well since he was taken by the Penta Elementalist before they were caught by the Crome Family.

"I will find Avion, of course." Marin straightforwardly said.

"No, what I mean is, what can you do about that? I'm talking about the monsters that are fighting. Even from here, I can feel their power. They are not ordinary beasts, that's for sure."

"Once I see Avion, with his power, there is nothing to worry about."

Edora and Tamya looked at each other. This time, Tamya asked.

"You said that you met Avion before he lost his memories, right? If that's true, could you tell us the details?"
