Not the sequel to "The Talk" everyone is asking for, but it's something.

Inspired by Happy Sugar Life, Anna from Shimoneta, and Love is War.

So, yeah, you know this shit is gonna get crazy.

Prologue

Naofumi's first meeting with Myne would be forever ingrained into his mind.

He could remember the first time seeing her in the line-up of potential party members. He thought she was exceptionally beautiful. Probably the most beautiful girl there. She noticed him staring and smiled.

In that instant, a strong, almost primal emotion coursed through him. It came quick and faded before he could get a proper grasp on it.

But just for a single instant, it felt like every fiber of his being screamed one thing:

GET AWAY.

He wished he had listened.

I honest to god have no idea where I'm going with this, which is probably going to bite me in the ass later. Like a rabid plot bunny.

Well, enjoy and I'll hopefully find time to write more for this in between college and my full-time job. :'D

First chapters really short, the rest will hopefully be longer.

Basically the plot is that Malty is a crazy yandere and, as crazy yanderes are prompt to do, she falls in love with Naofumi during her time in his party and thus a horror story ensues as she spreads lies about him, making everyone avoid him so that he'll have to cave in and accept her help and she can, like, I dunno, puts a slave crest on him to keep him by her side forever. It's not fully planned out yet. And since he's done nothing of note (because he's the shield hero and can't level up without party members so he hasn't gone around saving villages from monsters or anything) she can just keep him in her grasp forever with no one ever wondering what happened to the "rapist". Of course, Naofumi sure as hell doesn't want that and hates her guts, so a battle of wits ensues as he valiantly tries to keep out of her grasp.

That's the plan, anyway, not everything's set in stone yet. That's probably gonna bite me in the ass later.

And, no, this is not gonna turn into a Naofumi/Myne fic. Naofumi will forever hate her guts, so no worries. Pairings are undecided right now.
