Crom, The Glutton

The Heaven Princess: Chapter 5: Crom, The Glutton

4 Weeks Later~

「Amane, let's go」I called out to Amane who was currently saying her farewell to Lica, 
「Okay, I'm prepared now.」Amane carried her Greatsword on her back as she checks her pockets if she forgets something, 
「Okay, I am now I am actually prepared」Then we head towards the gate of Next Frontie. When we reached the gate, we saw Tiea carrying a rapier that has a pale green colored hilt, 
「Let's go, you two」She greeted us.
「Eh?」Amane and I said simultaneously,
「Why? 」We asked simultaneously, 
「I received a news that 78 of my soldiers were murdered by a small girl around 14 years old. Black hair, twin tail and carrying a spear that has wings decorations on it. Does it ring anything for you two?」She asked us before we leave. The moment Tiea described the person, the answer was written on Amane's face, 
「Chiroru......」Amane mumbled, 
「I knew it. I will be joining in your journey」Just as always, her voice was cool and calm, 
「if, If we are able to find Chiroru, what are you going to do?」Amane asked Tiea, 
「Of course that is to make her atone for her crime. Don't worry, I won't kill her」She laughed slowly, 
「......」Amane didn't react to what Tiea had said, 
「What about your kingdom? What will happen to them if you're not here?」I asked her, 
「Don't worry, Lica will take care of everything. She can be trusted」She answered me with a really confident voice, 
「Okay, let's go then」Me, Amane and Tiea then embark on our short journey. 

2 Weeks Later~~~

After 2 weeks of walking around the land aimlessly, we saw a smoke emitting from the village we were suppose to stay the night. We were worried about if the village was burning so we ran as fast as we could to reach the village. When we reached the village, it was too late, the village was already in ashes and fortunately, no villagers were killed. At first we thought it was just an accident but when we entered the village, the villagers started running towards us, asi f they are running away from something or someone. When we checked what it was, we saw a small girl with a black hood and a sleeveless jacket. Fingerless gloves and red mini skirt. She has a dark gray long unkempt hair and blood red eyes. I've seen her before, she is one of Kou's subordinates. It seemed like she hasn't notice us yet since she was busy eating the mountain of meat she stole from the villagers, 
「Crom, still hungry! I don't want meat for now!!! Crom wants something super sweet!!!!」She rolled on the ground and complained like a kid. While she was rolling in front of the mountain meat, she finally saw us and she immediately stood up in her fighting stance. I know that the only way out here is to fight her but this time, I won't use any weapon or anything that hurt a kid, 
「Amane, Tiea, Leave this one to  me」I stopped them from drawing out their weapon. At first, they looked worried but after a bit, they stopped looking worried, maybe they don't care anymore. 
「Do what you like」They said simultaneously, their voices sound cold, 
「Okay. I reckon your name is Crom, do you want to eat something really sweet?」I asked Crom, 
「Yeah, yeah! Crom wants to eat sweet food」She answered with a really excited voice, 
「I have one right here」I took out  a candy from my pocket. When Crom saw the small round candy ball wrapped in plastic, she looked at it with extreme curiosity, 
「What is that?」She asked, 
「A sweet food, a really sweet one」I open the package and threw the candy ball towards Crom and she caught it with her mouth, 
「...........!」She bit the really hard candy ball and crushed it with tremendous amount of force from her jaw, 
「Do you have more?」She bit the bait, 
「I do~~」I smiled at her. 

「Hey, Tiea, Lolicon」Amane laughed in the background, 
「I know right, Lolicon」Tiea laughed quietly with Amane. It seems like my reputation to those two had been lowered to Lolicon but that doesn't matter right now. 
「Give Crom more!」She tried to grab the new candy that I took out but I placed it up away from her reach, She looks like a kid who wants something from a really high place, 
「I'll give you this but there is one condition」I raised the candy higher and Crom started to jump to get it, 
「What.....Is......it......」Crom tried harder to get the candy but she still couldn't get it, 
「Be my friend」I gave the condition and she stopped trying to get the candy, 
「........but Ko-chan will get mad if Crom leave her......」It seems like she is hesitating, 
「Don't worry, I'll make sure she won't get mad」I gave her the candy, 
「Yeah, I will be Onii-chan's friend!」She smiled at me, 
「Okay, I'll give you more candy if you apologize to the villagers」Crom immediately searched for the villagers hiding and apologized to them and also agreed to help them rebuild their houses. 

「It's solved for now」I went back to where Amane and Tiea was, 
「Welcome Back, LoliHaru」Amane greeted me while trying to stop herself from laughing, 
「Good job, LolliHaru」So does Tiea. 
「It looks like my reputation is completely low to these two」I sighed, 
「Don't worry, I will treat you like a normal person,LoliHaru」Amane tried to reassure me but, 
「It doesn't convince me if you keep calling me LoliHaru!」I exclaimed. 

Tiea and Crom Joined Haru and Amane's Party!!

You still suck at describing attires. The only mistake here is you forgot to put 'c' on 'voice' which is in line 13. But no one really notices that kind of minor mistake so just ignore it. Keep up the good work.
