Leo, Takumi, and Elise: Update, Update, Update, Update, Update, Update, Update, Update

Leo, Takumi, and Elise: Where is the update? Give us the update! We want the update now!

Leo and Takumi: Where is the update?
Elise: Where is it?

Leo and Takumi: Give us the update!
Elise: We want it!

Leo, Takumi, and Elise: We want the update now!

Leo: You said there'd be an update once a week.

Leo: You lied

Leo: And where are all the other guy routes?

Takumi: And while we're at it I want Leora's death

Takumi: And werewolves too

Elise: And I want to be a beta reader!

Leo, Takumi, and Elise: Where is the update? Give us the update! We want the update now!

Leo and Takumi: Where is the update?
Elise: Where is it?

Leo and Takumi: Give us the update!
Elise: We want it!

Leo, Takumi, and Elise: We want the update now!

Reina: I'm only just one writer you should understand.

Reina: I'm doing, I'm doing the best that I can.

Reina: If I could clone myself I'd update faster

Reina: But then I'll risk some kind of crazy disaster.

Takumi and Leo: Crazy disaster, crazy disaster

Elise: I wanna ignore that plan

Takumi and Leo: Crazy disaster, crazy disaster

Elise: I'm going to ignore that plan

Reina: Welcome back readers. This is just a bit of an interlude as I write the next chapter.

Leo: You just wanted to hear us sing....

Reina: Anyway, we are going to send the characters on a road trip!

Leo: WHAT?!?!?!?!

Takumi: You're joking right?

Elise: ....

Reina: Yeah, I am.

Leo: *breaths in a sigh of relief*

Reina: But in all seriousness, there are a few things that I do want to explore, but I don't know what routes to do them in.

- Lamia's story - who she is and how she entered (Y/N)'s body ((Y/N) will be Reader-chan right now in these notes)

- Echo's story - who she is, who her boss is, and why she's helping Reader-chan

- Leora's point of view (Priority status: Uber low, probably not going to happen)

- Takumi's route. Initially, Reader-chan punches Leo in the face (breaking his nose) and storms off, but I recently wrote a chapter where Takumi is a werewolf and saves a different Reader-chan, so I'm not sure which one will be Takumi's route. For those who wish to see Werewolf! Takumi, it's called "Daughter of Red," and it's in "The Sparrow Flies South for the Winter." *punches Takumi* However, I might move that chapter here as well for you guys to see it.

Takumi: OWW!!!

Elise: Why did you hit him?

Reina: Inside joke for Skulduggery Pleasant readers. Skulduggery says, "The sparrow flies south for the winter" - *punches Leo*

Leo: Ow!!!!!!!

Reina: Before he punches someone.

Elise: Cool! But don't hurt Leo!

Reina: I won't. It's just because he ditched Reader-chan for Leora.

Elise: Oh

Takumi: Leora has Leo's name in it...

Reina: He... hehe..... haha....

Takumi: .....

Reina: That was an accident. I couldn't find a name for her, and I was thinking L'oreal....

Sakura: Like that beauty company?

Reina: Yeah, so I picked Leora instead.

Sakura: Oh

Takumi: *laughs*

Reina: Anyway, I also had to change Leora's design.... when I was imagining her, I basically made an evil Elsa.

Leo: *laughs*

Reina: Not funny. Now her hair is more yellow.

Sakura: Basically evil female Leo?

Reina: ........ Maybe I should fix that....

Leo: Yeah

Reina: Before I do that, here's a preview of the next chapter, "Battle Plans." The next chapter might be that Takumi story.

Hope you guys enjoy the preview!

"Wake up, (Y/N)," Lamia's voice calls from the distance.

"Lamia?" You ask.

You were floating in a lake below the surface. Some light poured through the water, but looking up you noticed that it was the moon. You reach your hand out to the moon, and notice that you had blue sleeves. Glancing down, you saw that were wearing a flowing blue dress.

"(Y/N)."

You look up to see a shadowy figure move towards you. Fear struck your heart, but then you realized that it was Lamia.

"Is this what you look like?" You ask bluntly.

Lamia hissed. You had no idea what she looked like, as her face was obscured. She gripped her staff tighter and sighed.

"Are you ready? In three days, Nohr will fall."

"How will Nohr fall?" You ask.

Lamia looked up. "I foresaw Nohr falling as Leora married Leo. Their marriage must not happen."

You raise your eyebrow. "I thought you hated Leo."

"I do. But I hate Leora more."

You nod. "Seems reasonable."

"I have a plan," she says.

"You do?" You blink.

Lamia nods. "Yeah, but I'm going to need your help."

You think for a moment. Despite not knowing Lamia very well, you felt the need to trust her. Something in her voice hinted towards desperation and fury.

"Alright. What do I need to do?"

"You're going to have to kill Leora for me.
