Chapter 28. Valkyrie Profile

Yuuki was waiting for them to change their clothes. He had chosen perfect costumes for each of them. He wanted to see them as soon as possible.

"Hey, are you done?" Yuuki asked.

The door was opened and revealed Utaha who had changed into a new costume.

"Are you satisfied?" Utaha said while crossing her arms and tapping her feet.

"Hmm, you're beautiful," Yuuki praised her and made her blushing.

"Hmph, don't think, I'll forgive you even if you praise me," Utaha turned her head.

Yuuki nodded at his choice for Utaha. She wore a white shirt, a skimpy black skirt, black stocking, and glasses.

"Come sit beside, let's wait for the next girl," Utaha wrinkled her eyebrow but sighing. She walked toward him and sat beside him.

"Have you really wanted to dress like this?" Utaha looked at her new clothes.

"Yeah, I've always imagined, it would be nice to have a beautiful secretary beside me," Yuuki teased.

"Hmph, my salary is high!" Utaha looked away.

"It's okay, we can slowly discuss it," Yuuki talked to her who kept ignoring him.

They kept until the door was opened, they saw Tsubasa looked very embarrassed and tried to cover her skirt.

"Waaa, this skirt is too short!" Tsubasa tried to cover it.

"No, this is great, I've always imagined that this image is perfect for you," Yuuki praised.

"Ugh, Yuuki, can I change?" Tsubasa still tried to cover her skirt.

"Hey? You're in that clothes now, you should call me 'Master', right?" Yuuki teased.

Utaha looked at him as if trash but Yuuki ignored her. He knew that it was secretary job to look at his boss as if trash.

"Ugh, Ma-ma.." Tsubasa was embarrassed.

"Hmm, Ma, what?" Yuuki teased.

"Master," Tsubasa was blushing.

Yuuki knew that Tsubasa was a tomboy so he had to dress her in feminine costumes. He had told her to change into French maid costume. He had to admit that it was very hard to hold his libido around many beautiful girls.

"Good, sit here, let's wait for the last one," Yuuki nodded.

When Yuuki said this both Utaha and Tsubasa also looked at the door with expectation. They knew that their costumes were several times better than Eriri.

"Sawamura-san, can you hurry to come out?" Utaha teased her.

"Yeah, Eriri, come out!" Tsubasa also excited.

Then, the door was opened slowly and revealed Eriri who had a very embarrassed expression on her face. She tried to cover her body with her hands but it was futile. Her costume was too revealing. She looked at Yuuki with a hateful gaze.

"I hate you!" Eriri showed her tiger teeth.

Yuuki nodded in satisfaction, he had thought that Eriri wouldn't wear it but it was out of his expectation. He had given her a bunny costume with very revealing clothes. He had to admit it was suited her well.

"Hmm, as expected it's very suited for you, Eriri," Yuuki gave her a thumb.

"Grrr, hurry up tell us your game plan!!" Eriri was screaming.

Yuuki nodded, "But before I tell my plan, I must ask everyone in this room to not reveal any information about my game."

A game project is very important and no one should know its content until it is ready being sold to the masses.

They nodded at him with serious expression ignoring their costumes.

"Good, I'll tell you the story of my game, 'Valkyrie Profile'," Yuuki told.

In the village of Coriander, a 14-year-old girl named Platina lives with her cruel parents. The village falls upon hard times and her friend Lucian finds out that her parents are going to sell her into slavery. The two run away, but Platina inhales the toxic pollen of poisonous flowers in a nearby field and dies in Lucian's arms.

Lenneth Valkyrie awakens in Asgard and is tasked by the god Odin and goddess Freya with recruiting the einherjar for their war with the Vanir and the coming of Ragnarok. Her first recruits are the princess Jelanda and mercenary Arngrim. After the arrogant Arngrim inadvertently embarrasses her father, Jelanda plots revenge but is kidnapped by a traitorous court minister and transformed into a monster. Lenneth helps Arngrim kill the monster and claims Jelanda as an einherjar. Arngrim, having unknowingly aided Jelanda's captors, kills the man responsible but commits suicide rather than be arrested. At Jelanda's request, Lenneth makes Arngrim an einherjar but Odin and Freya find him lacking the qualities of an einherjar and refuse to accept him into Valhalla so Arngrim remains at Lenneth's side.

During Lenneth's travels, she meets Brahms, lord of the undead and enemy of Odin, who possesses her sister Silmeria and the necromancer Lezard Valeth, who lures her to his tower. Lenneth learns that Lezard has been experimenting with half-elven homunculi to use as vessels to attain godhood. Lezard wants Lenneth for himself, but she refuses to cooperate and destroys his experiments. The sorceress Mystina, one of Lezard's rivals, discovers what he has been doing and takes his last remaining homunculus. When he discovers her theft, Lezard freezes her body while she is spirit walking, effectively killing her. Lenneth recruits her, though Odin and Freya refuse to accept Mystina into Valhalla and, like Arngrim, she remains with Lenneth.

"That is the background story of my game," Yuuki said.

They had been gawking at him listening to his story about his game. They had never thought his idea was so novel and made them excited to help him.

"Let me help you to make this game!" Eriri raised her hand.

"Me too!" Tsubasa raised both of her hands.

"Can I help you with a manuscript?" Utaha said.

Yuuki looked at the 3 girls in front of him. He had never thought that they were interested in helping him in his project.

"What about your manga?" Yuuki looked at both Eriri and Tsubasa.

"And, what about your novel?" Yuuki looked at Utaha.

"It's fine! I can do both!" Eriri said.

"Yeah, me too!" Tsubasa said.

"It's easy for me," Utaha said.
