80 First Grand Masquerade (2/2)

”Did you do this Shiro?” I asked, pertaining to the redness of the atmosphere...

”Hai! With the help of Kurenai onee-chan! ... Ano ne, Ano ne (*Cute Japanese Loli sounds*) The bad guys were after Kurenai one-chan.”

Kurenai? Isn't that what the Tarragons called her earlier? I then let Shiro explain the most basic status quo... She mentioned this Synthesized Angel dwelling inside of her, that I am yet to fully understand...

But, coming out of nowhere, the fast-approaching three-million became clear in plain sight... All having a weapon they specialize in their hand, and all equipped with heavy-looking armors, same to that of the hero's which I crushed, but looked somewhat more economical and inexpensive.

And then, in front of the three million standing while taking battle positions from afar... Three men, in particular, stepped up of which two are already an acquaintance... The priest that sealed me, and the reckless Hero which appeared to be badly hurt. The third guy however in their midst is an unfamiliar beardy guy riding this 'black' majestic Pegasus with fiery eyes, wearing this golden and polished armor, having a noble crown in his head inlaid with fine jewels, and in his wrist is a fine sword yet to be drawn. His physical stature, really fits his title of which I presume, to be the supreme leader of these men of war... their King.

As he stepped up from his three million men, the priest with all of his due respect then gave him a magical-circle thingy of which the king would unexpectedly use to make his voice be heard even in the distance...

”We meet once again... Bloody Butterfly, Kurenai, our KIngdom's runaway lovely angel... And whoever you may be dark-looking feudal overlord.” So, he addressed me with a cold and overly breezy voice. But the name...was somewhat cool to hear...

Feudal Overlord. Nice.

”I am King Aurelius, leader of a sovereign nation, and I am here, to take you home by force, our Personal Angel. It's just sad that you have had taken the body of a girl from the second realm... But don't worry, we can just kill the little girl and we will then extract you.” The King added addressing the words to Shiro and whoever it is that's inside her. But...

On what basis does he think that I will let his speech be? I may have had let my guard down earlier... But not anymore. With Azazel's 93 percent outcome of her calculation, if I will be able to combat them all at once, and with my satirical 'rationality' which should be functioning close at its peak by now, the upcoming incursions of the opponents would be no problem at all. Besides, it's also a perfect time to test Azazel's potency in establishing accurate statistics.

”Your 'Lowliness'... Surely you can't ignore a visitor now, which your rude underlings treated very poorly earlier” I interceded with his speech... Well, I always hated listening to ones coming from an echelon. It would always end with a mainstream quote.

The men positioned in the King's back, who all have no toleration of tainting their beloved leader's title and spoiling his image. and even with their faulty strength begin to mock me as I insulted their king's noble emblazonment with a 'Lowliness' instead of 'Highness'... Such kids...They are only giving me free power sources to feed my Paradigm Shift.

The King then raised his right hand, signaling for the guys to shut up and to let him talk... But I'm not up to such trivial negotiations. Let's just get things running on the main course once again. Well, it goes on without saying that I'm also curious as to what 'Dark By Default' really is capable of.

”Feudal Overlord... What might be this that you are likely to suggest?” The King asked as if he knows of the development that I seek...

”Your 'Lowliness'... Now that you're here, and possibly every official in your puny Kingdom. Not to mention that your famed paradigm-Cancelling priest and your revered hero is also here and that, we got ourselves the blessing from the Angel whom you're after... Why don't we start the First Grand Masquerade? What do you say?” I exclaimed...
