the kindest tyrant

preparations

I was outside with luna in the streets of san frosokyo as hannah decided to stay behind to plan our next fight against the two monsters,and so me and luna were walking around in san frosokyo

"So how are things in the emperium?"she asked me as we entered a convenience store to buy food for hannah

"Good so far we'r-"i was then interrupted by her asking me a flood of questions

"What about kuro?how is she?is she doing good?are you taking care of her?is any man trying to land a hand on her?come on tell me!"she asked me hastily

"Kuro?I don't know,I haven't called her in a while I guess"

"How could you do that?!she's the best maid you could ask for!!I dare you to find a better maid than her!!"she shouted

"What?pretty sure there's kuroka,sakuya izayoi but the best one has to be taihou for sure"i told her my opinion

"You have very bad tastes then"she remarked

"I don't care,I'm not choosing them so they can be my life companion you know"i said

"Anyways,changing topic,how are you going to deal with the monsters?"she asked me

We were now exiting the convenience store

"Honestly I don't know"i said stopping dead on my tracks looking down

"Y/n?"

"To be honest I'm kind of scared"i admitted

She snickered a little bit

"You?scared?don't make me laugh,I'm pretty sure that word doesn't exist in your dictionary"she said as she turned around to see the expression on my face

I was really scared

"You're really scared"

"The last time I fought one of those I was more powerful than I am now and I wasn't afraid of death,it was more like I was embracing it"

"What do you mean you embraced death?"

"I...at the time I wasn't really keen on staying alive,I had lost the person who I cherished the most,I was rejected by my crush and my servants were mad at me,nothing could go any worse

So I decided that if I was going to die,I'd rather die fighting,and during that fight I managed to sustain an unreal amount of damage because I knew that I would die,and also because that monster was the best thing I could let out my anger on,I was angry because of how weak I was

And look at me now,i grew weaker and there's no way I can feel the same way I felt during that fight because now I have friends and many other things that I care about,and even without that I grew weaker since last time"i remarked

Luna approached me and knelt down to my level as she smiled a warm smile

"Don't worry Y/n,you know,I can't speak,for myself since I'm an orphan and all but I know that you said it yourself,you're not alone anymore,you have more friends now and servants who would destroy entire planets for your sake

So don't worry about some monsters about to attack us,I know hannah will come up with something to stop those giant monsters just you wait,until then Let's just enjoy ourselves right now"she said

"Yeah"i agreed getting back up on my feet as we set off to go back to our room

As we were walking back to the hotel where we stayed when all of a sudden Luna saw something and wanted to go check it out

"You take these bags to our room and I see what's going on here,"she said giving me the bags

Between us,luna has to be the detective,so I left her here and went to our room
