(C2,1) Towerclimb Extravaganza (Patreon)

“Come on, Kyle~ Climbing is not that difficult~” Robert basically sang, jumping from ledge to ledge with wings made of dark mist to assist him. There was a chance he could fly already with those wings, but he was not willing to try it yet. After all, he first needed to get more used to the feeling of having them on his back.

“You have it easy!” Kyle shouted back, trying desperately to climb up the side of the tower in the regular fashion. Pretty sure Nagisa’s power helped him with that as well, but why he wasn’t using her power as wings like in the stories was beyond Robert.

“...you know you can just make wings with that dark magic surrounding you.” Robert spoke, helping Kyle up another ledge as he looked at his fellow priest curiously. Though Kyle simply replied. “I don’t know how. I'd rather just climb up this tower.”

“If you say so…” Robert jumped up another level, assisted by the wings on his back, when he noticed that the mist was starting to fuse with his body. He couldn’t move the mist away from his back anymore, instead it almost seemed like he could feel them as new appendages on his back, which Robert was more than okay with. After all, wings were not only cool, but also practical.

“Ugh. Are we there yet?” Kyle asked, making Robert laugh briefly, before he saw that Kyle was actually getting up the ledges by himself now too. But the difference was, that for him the dark mist fused with the side of his body, causing it to look like two additional arms instead of wings, which made sense considering that the guy climbed up the tower instead of flying up. Definitely a creative way to use Nagisa’s power.

“Won’t be long until we reach the top.” Robert said, ready to jumpfly again, though Kyle just leaned against the side of the building and said. “Can’t we just get in through something else? Like this window for example?”

Robert blinked. Kyle was onto something. There really was a window right next to Kyle. And even better, it looked openable. Maybe they could bring their climb to a premature halt?

“Sounds good. Let’s try to get in.” Robert said, pointing Kyle towards the window next to him. With very little effort Kyle used all four of his arms to get a hold of the window and proceeded to open it, surprisingly without breaking it. Though he then turned towards Robert and looked at his four hands.

“R-R-Robert?!? Why do I have four arms?!?” Kyle asked. Robert just rolled his eyes and bonked the other priest on his head.

“Let’s see what we got in here…” Robert said, swinging himself into the room that was now opened up, even if Kyle still stayed outside for now. So the curious priest took a look around the room which very quickly gave him the impression of a scientist’s office, as some potions were standing around everywhere, including two glowing pink ones that caught his eyes for some reason.

“What kind of potions are these…?” Robert wondered, taking two potions with each of his hands…

KABOOOOOOMMMM!!!! KABOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

“Gahhh~” Robert screamed, as some faraway explosion shocked him to his core. Though those seemed to be the only explosions that happened, since even a few seconds later no further explosions could be heard. He then quickly realized that he was no longer holding the potions in his hands anymore, and they weren’t shattered on the floor of the office either. Which only led to one conclusion…

“Hope they don’t hit anyone…” Robert let out, looking down the window where he could barely see the two potions disappearing into the massive fogbank. Kyle outside was also a bit confused. “Hey, why are you throwing stuff out the window…?”

“Who goes there?!?” A voice rang out as the door to the office swung open, making Robert turn around quickly, while Kyle outside hid beside the window.
