Chapter 301 - Cleaning House

Alex sighed as he approached the skyscraper ahead of him, and saw the crowd of people already there as they clambered to see what was going on, though the damage on the building was apparent even from the ground.

"Please stay back."

"We have everything under control."

At the base of the building trying to keep back the curious onlookers was a group silver haired women, and purple haired individuals in sharp black suits. As Alex approached they immediately parted with a "BOSS!", which made the crowd also start parting for him as they wondered who exactly this guy was. As he entered the building one of the R.I.B immediately ran to his side and said,

"Boss! We're currently trying to secure the area and ensure that any witnesses are accounted for, and miss Grayfia should be waiting for you up too along with miss(s) Ingvild, Liliana, and Rossweisse!" Alex said his thanks to rabbit while also making sure to praise their work, before taking the elevator to the top as they said. The second he stepped out of the elevator though, he was immediately greeted with the sight of two silver haired beauties who looked somewhat similar, however one was currently kneeling in a sieza with an apologetic expression on her face while the other glowered down on her.

"Really Rossweisse? While I do understand the need to fight, don't you think you went a little overboard by firing off magic? I expected more from you, especially with you training your Valkyries." Rossweisse blushed at Grayfia's scolding, while silently muttering,

"B-but, they came rushing at us and even pulled out guns, I-I just reacted!" Grayfia rolled her eyes and stated in a deadpan,

"You are a Valkyrie who guarded Odin himself, an almost unparalleled master of magic, and even a 'Rook' that is known for their defense! Why would you be scared of a human gun?!" Rossweisse's head gradually lowered while her face turned increasingly red at each of Grayfia's words, until it just hung there as she recognized her shame. It wasn't actually her fault as, despite all of Grayfia's points, Rossweisse had never even seen a firearm up close with the sole exception of Hajime's, which had warped hers and several others ideas of guns. It was at this point that Alex intervened and said,

"Even though there wasn't anyone here that could actually hurt any of you, I'm glad you're all alright." As they had been focused on Grayfia's lecture, it wasn't until this point that any of the girls had noticed Alex's presence, causing Liliana and Ingvild to immediately get up and make their way over to him.

"You were right about the idol industry..." Ingvild said sadly as Alex kissed the top of her head. Her hope was to gain more experience singing and performing for her shows in Asora, while also hopefully finding a candidate or two for her peerage among the idols she might have met. Though he didn't want her to experience what several idols were suspected to have to go through for their fame, Alex had agreed to let her and Liliana try their hands at entering the idol community normally as long as Rossweisse went along for extra muscle, just in case. After consoling the three girls, a serious expression formed on Alex's face as he then turned back towards Grayfia and said,

"Contact our new contractees and arrange for this studio to come under our management, then let Serafall know that we need someone sent over to act as the new president, preferably a woman after all of this." Grayfia immediately nodded a she sent out a series of messages in order to contact the lawyers, judges, political figures, high ranking officials and even news stations they had working for them in Japan. One of their first moves upon arriving in that world was to send out a team of Devils skilled in negotiations and securing contracts, they then singled out those who were ambitious enough to make a deal with a devil(without having the wrong skeletons in their closets), and made an agreement stating that they would grant their wish in exchange for working for them when the time came. This was what allowed Alex to secure a house to make their base of operations so quickly, and it meant that within minutes of Grayfia sending out her messages, there was already a team of lawyers drawing up official documents stating that they were the new owners of Rising Star Entertainment, while several others worked to officiate the claims. After Grayfia finished notifying the people who needed to take part in taking over the company, Alex pointed at a particularly bloody lump of flesh and asked while kicking it lightly,

"Is this thing what I think it is?" The three girls nodded as they glared at the former acting president of Rising Star Entertainment, even as he flinched and trembled at Alex's kick. His eyes narrowed as he continued, "I'll deal with him, but you may need to come up with a cover story for the destruction around here and his disappearance." Grayfia nodded in affirmation as Alex said his goodbyes, since he still needed to get to the school, and grabbed the lump of flesh by the remainder of its collar before disappearing into the mist. When his vision cleared the first thing Alex saw was the usual beach and sign stating 'WELCOME TO MAGICAL GIRL ISLAND!', the second thing was a certain werewolf sprinting towards him as fast as possible while a troop of magical girls followed close behind, an impressive feat considering Ginei's actual speed.

"NUYOOOO! PLEASE COME BACK CUTIE!"

"FUCK NO! I WONT BE YOUR BOYFRIEEEEND!" Ginei cried out as he ran to Alex's side before kneeling before him and saying,

"Please let me out of this hellhole! I'm sorry for everything, JUST PLEASE MAKE IT STOOOOOP!" Alex held up a hand, indicating for the magical girls to stop, before calmly replying,

"Ginei, I did give you several warnings that you would be punished if you didn't correct your bad habits, this is merely the result of you not taking my words seriously." Ginei looked as if he would actually start crying as he pleaded,

"PLEASE! I-I'll never peep again! I'll do anything, PLEASE!" Alex was silent as he considered Ginei's fate, before stating,

"Fine, I'll let you go, but only if you manage to "survive" on this island for three months." Though Ginei's face lit up at the first part of what Alex had to say, when he heard the rest it was as if he had heard the confirmation of his own execution.

"B-but I can't survive here that long! It was hard enough just lasting the night!" Alex just shrugged and said as a certain curly browed cook came to mind,

"I know of someone who managed to do it for two years on an island just like this one, while also using the experience to train themselves to be much stronger. If you can't do it, then that shows just how shallow your sincerity is." Though Ginei wanted to state that he didn't really desire more strength anymore, he stopped when he recalled the scene of his fellow Newspaper club members being slaughtered the previous year. Even though the chances of a repeat were extremely low, he still didn't want to experience such a thing once more.

"...Fine, I'll stay. Three months, and not a moment longer." Alex smiled at the resolve Ginei showed, before saying,

"I promise, but in the meantime I did bring someone who has no choice but to stay here, here you go Mil-tan!" As he finished speaking Alex tossed what remained of the former acting president, before continuing, "This man took advantage of his position to make young women sleep with him in order to achieve their dreams. Show him what it means to destroy a maidens hope like that." Though the majority of the gathered magical girls wanted to spend more time with Ginei, when they heard what their new resident had done they immediately took him and disappeared into the jungle behind them in order to "teach" him the fragility of a maidens heart. As they disappeared Ginei shuddered while also feeling relieved that it wasn't him being dragged away, before Alex said one last time while leaving, "Three months." He was then left alone once more on magical girl island, except this time he had the hope of one day leaving.

Later that day a news report regarding the damage done to the main building of Rising Star Entertainment was released stating that the acting president himself, Mr. Tatsuya, had brought a bomb to the building in a suitcase in order to destroy himself as well as all the "evidence" against him. The reference to evidence was of course referring to him using his position to force the idols represented by his company to have sex with him in order to make their careers successful, something every single idol truthfully testified to after they had been convinced to do so by Ingvild and Liliana. Of course the case against Mr. Tatsuya only grew when the idols also admitted that the president not only forced them to sleep with various other influential or wealthy individuals, but also had them collect evidence, against their partners knowledge, of the fact to use as leverage or blackmail against them since the majority of the idols were still underage.

This resulted in what was essentially a witch hunt as the idols testimony, along with the evidence that Hajime collected from Mr. Tatsuya's home and office using his spider golems, built up a strong case against several political officials and wealthy individuals who had previously considered themselves above the law, forcing them to either submit themselves to the law, or use up their wealth fighting the accusations and evidence against them. What didn't help matters for them was that even as they contacted their lawyers or tried to hire the best ones available, none would have them as they, along with the news stations that refused to drop the story, and the other high ranking people who continued to point fingers, were all on the payroll of Alex and the Devils of Asora, making it impossible for them to actually fight the charges, no matter how much of their money they used. Of course the main reason that their human contractors helped them so much was that, with the processing of many of their opponents in their respective professions, their own careers took a sudden turn for the better, something that more than made up for the trouble Alex dumped on them during this case.

As for the idols themselves, the new management of Rising Star Entertainment made a public announcement stating that they would do everything they could to erase the stain on their name and reputation caused by the former president; and even went so far as to offer to tear up the contracts of the idols they currently represented after everything they went through. The idols chose to stay however after a long talk with Ingvild and Liliana, who had assured them that they were well acquainted with the new management, and that nothing like what they had to endure would never happen again; this, along with their fans who were also incredibly incised at the treatment their beloved idols endured, had convinced them to stay and try to resume the careers they had sacrificed so much for. Of course this all took place over the course of the next several weeks and even a few months, but on the same day that all of this started, Alex was once more back at the school as he watched the third years race up and down the field as they played soccer.

"Let's see some hustle! Show some effort people!" Alex cried out as he saw some of the students relax instead of actively participating. He was about to go and talk to them when they seemed to ignore him, when suddenly Alex felt an intense killing intent directed his way, making him turn to see a group of people coming towards him, the person at their lead being quite familiar and indicating who they were. As the third years noticed them they gradually stopped playing, and instead watched what was happening with interest and fear as the Public Safety Commission approached their teacher. Despite the killing intent he was directing towards Alex, the leader of the group had what appeared to be an amicable smile as he bowed slightly in greeting while saying,

"Salutations teacher Alex, I am the president of the Public Safety Commission, Kuyou. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Though he appeared polite enough with his greetings, the fact that the P.S.C rarely made an appearance, despite the common occurrence of students running rampant and attacking or even killing their fellow students, was enough for even the bystanders to know that Alex must be in some kind of trouble; while even in the classrooms, both students and teachers were noticing the gathering in the schoolyard, and were watching with bated breaths. Alex himself however snorted at Kuyou's false niceties, and instead pulled out an attendance sheet for that very class and said,

"Kuyou.... Yep, here you are. I suppose I should berate you for tardiness, but since you haven't bothered to show up for a single class in the three weeks since school started, I should just be thankful you even bothered arriving. Go and get changed before I change my mind." There was a near audible gasp as Alex spoke down to Kuyou, who was known for either killing or imprisoning any who crossed him, with even the teachers fearing what would happen if they crossed the P.S.C. With his polite facade fading in an instant, Kuyou instead stated,

"I'm not here for class, I came because you're causing too much trouble for the school, and are even endangering the students with your reckless actions! If you do not heed our warning, then we will be forced to take drastic action." Alex snorted again at this and said,

"You mean I did your job for you and protected those who were being victimized by others, or prevented it in the first place. Instead of criticizing me for helping others, maybe you should get off your lazy asses and do what you're supposed to." This time you could hear everyone's gasp, as among the gym class, as well as all of the spectators in the classrooms, started muttering at how Alex was back talking the P.S.C, earning him even more respect within the school. Kuyou however had a murderous look on his face as he spat,

"Keito, show this imbecile what it means to anger us!" The girl to Kuyou's right sneered at Alex as she got her orders, and replied with simple, "With pleasure." The second she took a single step forward however, an unbearable pressure assaulted her as she was suddenly forced to her knees, a look of sheer terror appearing on her face as Alex directed just a little of his killing intent at her.

"What's the matter?" He asked in a taunting manner, "I thought you were going to teach me some kind of lesson?" Keito could only stutter incoherently at Alex's taunts, as she realized that they were provoking a monster the likes of which they could do nothing against, but the fear she felt had paralyzed her, preventing her from warning the rest of the P.S.C from escalating the situation. Even as the rest of the Commission stared at her sudden collapse with confusion, they suddenly froze in terror as well, as Alex spread his killing intent to target each of them, one by one, until he finally reached Kuyou.

'Th-this can't be!' Kuyou thought to himself as Alex focused his killing intent on him, making his own seem like a drop compared to a great and mighty ocean. With the unusual feeling of fear creeping into his heart for the first time in his life, Kuyou raised a hand and pointed it at Alex as he channeled the most intense fire possible for him, intending to destroy this thing before he could become a thorn in the side of his boss. "TAKE THIS!" He cried out as he blasted the area around Alex with fire, before making it spin in an intense vortex around him as the temperature steadily increased until it had reached a point where it would even turn the bones of monsters to dust. With the pressure lifting on himself and his fellow Commission members Kuyou thought he might have done it, and was wondering if he was mistaken about Alex's supposed strength if he was so easily beaten. With several monsters existing that imitated others that were stronger he thought this might have been the case, but before he started to relax,

"Did you really think that was it?" Alex's voice came from within the blaze, before the two glowing points that were his eyes appeared from within their depths. Before Kuyou even had the time to be shocked that Alex was seemingly unfazed by some of his most powerful flames, the other commission members suddenly started collapsing around him while foaming at the mouth, while the flames started dying down even though he tried to keep them going strong. What appeared from the blazing vortex was something that struck true fear and awe into the hearts of everyone spectating the fight, while Kuyou could only mutter "impossible..."

There existed three primary beings of fire, each of which had been figures of both fear and awe throughout history with some cultures even worshipping them. First was the Phoenix, legendary birds of fire and immortality who not even the super powerful beings of vampires could compete against, despite being counted amongst the strongest of monsters. Second was the kitsune, or nine tailed fox, beings that hailed specifically from Japan that had been worshipped by many as all powerful beings of fire and destruction, who were easily angered and swift to demonstrate their wrath. Finally was the beings that were thought to long be extinct, yet also the most powerful of all with only their younger and lesser cousins(such as Salamander) left alive,

"Dragon...." Kuyou muttered as the flames cleared to reveal a figure that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Covered head to foot with eerie red scales and horns that looked as if they could bisect you with a single touch, with each finger tipped with talons that were designed specifically for gouging flesh as if it was soft butter, and a wingspan of nearly twenty feet with a tail that was tipped in dreadful barbs. As Alex glared at him with his green reptilian eyes Kuyou's mind raced as he tried to reason what he was seeing, as dragons had been extinct for centuries due to their tyrannical natures and tendencies, leading to a rise of so-called dragon hunters.

"Are you going to fight, or just stand there?" Alex suddenly asked with a gutteral eerie growl, jerking Kuyou from his thoughts as he quickly transitioned into his own true form, burning all of his own clothes off to display a slender yet muscular body with a series of runes covering it, along with four flaming tails and a pair of flaming ears to match. With is transition directly into his most powerful form, Kuyou's energy multiplied as everyone surrounding them quickly fled the intense flames generated by his tails, though Alex stood completely still with a sneer at how pathetic Kuyou's flames were when compared with his own or Yasaka's. Once his transformation was complete, Kuyou declared,

"This is my most powerful form, LETS SEE HOW IT COMPARES AGAINST A REAL DRAGON!" He then thrust his hand out while generating more flames than he ever had before in his life, before condensing them into a super pressurized ball and launching it at Alex, who merely lifted his taloned hand and "caught" the flames before they exploded on contact. As he was once more engulfed in flames and smoke everyone held their breath in anxiety, before several more explosions occurred as Kuyou fired shot after shot at the dangerous opponent, due to his instincts practically screaming that Alex was somehow still alive. After firing his tenth shot he finally held back and anxiously waited for the smoke to clear along wth everyone spectating, before sheer incredulity filled him seeing that Alex was not only alive and well, but that he seemed completely unfazed by the bombardment of intense fire and explosions he had taken.

"If that was your best, then this fight is really disappointing. But I have a quick question, why is the president of the Public Safety Commission firing such dangerous projectiles towards the main school building, even while there are still hundreds of students within it? Don't tell me that you didn't consider their safety when you recklessly fired off all of those attacks?" It was at this point that everyone noticed that, if Alex had moved to attack or dodge any of Kuyou's attacks, they would have definitely hit the school and possibly caused dozens of casualties. Though he was filled with incredulity from Alex surviving his attacks, his fury came back as heard several people start whispering about the truth of Alex's words, and how the P.S.C's president was apparently willing to kill them all simply because his pride was a little hurt.

"Fine then, let's how you are up front!" Kuyou cried out, as he suddenly surged forward and drove his fist through Alex's chest, causing the afterimage to flicker before disappearing altogether. "What the-?" He muttered, as nearly a dozen Alex's formed around him while flickering slightly from his constantly moving at high speeds, despite his almost comically oversized wings.

"This can't be, illusionary technique?! Only true masters of the martial arts can perform this!" Kuyou and several others around the school exclaimed, making Alex snort in response as he managed to perform the afterimage technique when he was young fairly easily. "GRAAAAAAA!" With growing frustration at Alex's seemingly overwhelming capabilities, Kuyou could only let out a shout as he released yet another storm of flames from himself, engulfing each of the afterimages instantly while exposing which one was the real Alex.

Before he could try something else to humiliate him, Kuyou lunged forward and threw punch after punch, and kick after kick at Alex in an increasingly desperate attempt to wipe the smirk off of his face. Alex didn't even sweat as he either dodged, or block each of Kuyou's attacks with ease, while even allowing one or two to "slip" through, only to 'thud' anti climatically against his ruby red scales. After nearly a minute of this, when Kuyou's fist once again thudded against Alex's scales harmlessly, he couldn't help but mutter, "Is this it?" The fox youkai couldn't help the shame and indignation that filled him when he heard those words, but, before he could retort, his vision was suddenly filled with darkness as Alex effortlessly chopped the back of his neck. The last he heard before passing out was Alex saying, "This is all you'd ever amount to if you spend your life bullying those weaker than yourself, you have no one but yourself to blame for your weakness."

After Kuyou passed out Alex quickly bound him, and the rest of the P.S.C, with the specialty made handcuffs Hajime created out of nearly indestructible metal, and were enhanced to suppress a person's magic or supernatural power. With then entire P.S.C defeated, Alex used Regeneration magic to restore the area that they fought before turning towards his students, who were hesitantly approaching once the fighting stopped, and said,

"I'm gonna take them to the headmasters office regarding their actions, I'll probably be gone for the rest of the period but I hope none of you would use that chance to slack off." With Alex's strength and "true form" still fresh in their minds, even after he left none of the students dared slack off as they shakily resumed their game of soccer. On his way though, Alex stopped and thought to himself, 'I don't really want to keep dealing with everyone coming at me one at a time like originally, I guess I deal with everyone here at the academy quickly.'

***

Only a couple short hours after Alex said that to himself, he was once more sitting in front of Mikogami in his office, yet this time he had an entire crowd of people behind with injuries of varying degrees. Mikogami sighed and said,

"I don't know wether to thank you for cleaning house, or curse you for increasing my workload so much." Alex shrugged and asked,

"Well why did it get so bad to begin with?" Mikogami sighed again and explained,

"As you know I was planning to "retire" soon, so I needed a successor to ensure that my dream of coexistence with humans didn't die." Alex nodded and pointed to a particular individual within the group, who stood taller than the rest, before saying,

"Since he was originally and is once again human, then I would guess he was one of you successor confidantes." Mikogami looked at the one Alex was pointing at, a boy named Hokuto, and nodded to the boy's surprise before continuing,

"Indeed, but instead he was filled with rage and anger at the academy, and sought to destroy it using the group of thugs he created called Anti Thesis." Alex nodded as he recalled the details of Hokuto's goals and story quite well, a boy that was abused by his father who sought to get away from him, and jumped at the chance to attend a private academy where his father couldn't reach him. However to that boys horror the academy was filled with monsters where he had to fight tooth and nail every day just to survive, before he met the person bound next to him, Kiria, a chimera created from the flesh of Alucard himself, though Alex doubted Mikogami knew that. Kiria found Hokuto interesting, and so he gave him some of his blood to transfer some of his powers and turn him into a ghoul, giving Hokuto the strength needed to survive in the academy, and to plot his "revenge" for forcing him to throw away his own "humanity".

Though when Alex came to him earlier, he had used Regeneration magic to remove the taint of Alucard's blood from Hokuto's body, and turned him human once more. This meant that along with his crimes of creating Anti Thesis, he would also be charged and executed for the crime of being a human within the academy. A fact that Alex and Mikogami were both aware of was that, despite striving for peace, all it took was one person sneaking into the academy and taking photographs or recording the monsters within, and it would lead to their exposure and eventual war with the humans of the world. Though humans as individuals weren't so bad, as a group they turned into dumb and panicky creatures that would build on fear, lies, and suspicion, all to act on their own feelings. All it would take is a single person saying something untrue about youkai online, and it could gain momentum and snowball into a full blown conflict due to the fears of those reading it, regardless of anyone saying otherwise. Mikogami then tore Alex from his thoughts as he continued,

"The reason I let those groups act as they pleased, was because I hoped they would provide a decent path for whoever would become my successor to grow in both strength, and as a person. I did have another candidate lined up to attend the academy this year, however for some reason he never showed up." At this Alex looked away pointedly for some reason, before Mikogami pointed at a certain someone and asked, "By the way, I can understand the P.S.C and Anti Thesis, but why is she here?" Alex looked at the person Mikogami was pointing at, a woman whose head he had shaved before hand when he had captured her, the art teacher and gorgon, Ishigami Hitomi, and said,

"She was using her powers to abduct female students and to turn them to stone for her personal collection." When he heard that Mikogami turned a stern eye on the female teacher, before sighing once again and saying,

"I guess we'll be short yet another teacher. You can leave us now, I'll deal with them from here on." Alex nodded, but first pointed at Kuyou, Hokuto, and Kiria, and said,

"I'll be taking them with me though." Mikogami frowned and asked,

"Why do you need them?" Alex directed a glare at them and said,

"Because they are the three that need to be executed. Hokuto will be anyways due to the fact that he is human, but Kiria is a spawn of Alucard, he can't be allowed to live. Kuyou as well, I have it on good authority that he may be in contact with a dangerous group, and so his death would only deplete their strength further, instead of letting him go join them and having it increase." Mikogami was silent for several moments as he digested what Alex said, before eventually sighing yet again, and saying,

"Very well, do as you wish. But make sure the spawn of Alucard is completely destroyed, there can't be even a trace of his taint left." Alex nodded as he was enveloped in mist along with the three others, before they disappeared completely. As they departed, Mikogami stared at the spot Alex disappeared from before muttering to himself quietly,

"I wonder if I can get him to teach me that one...?" He then put the thought out of his head before turning his attention back to the veritable horde of people that needed to be punished. Meanwhile, Alex and the other three appeared in the snow covered mountains of Asora, far away from any other people so that they didn't intrude upon the execution about to take place. Then, surprising his three captives, Alex removed the handcuffs binding Kiria before summoning his scythe and moving a slight ways away.

"Oh, is this some new execution tactic I haven't heard of?" Kiria asked with a smirk on his face, though for the briefest of seconds his mismatched eyes had a serious glint in them as they followed Alex's movements. The later shrugged as he said,

"I just wanted to try facing you once before you die, is that so bad?" Kiria smirked in response as he had simply given up when Alex defeated Hokuto, and was going along with him in order to try and gain information about him before escaping and returning to his boss. He never expected that Alex would not only know of his true nature, but would even personally ensure his execution to prevent exactly what he planned to do, making him have no choice but to take a stance as he prepared to fight.

"I hope you could at least make this interesting." He said as the serious glint in his eyes was replaced by a playful look, making Alex sigh before his arm suddenly blurred. Kiria tensed at Alex's sudden movement, his heart pounding in his chest due to the fact that he couldn't even follow it, until he heard two thuds behind him. Despite his battle instincts screaming at him not to turn his back to his opponent, Kiria slowly turned around to see what made the noise, before his eyes widened as they met Hokuto and Kuyou's dead ones. "Wha-" he muttered in confusion before Alex suddenly said,

"This scythe will instantly kill anyone, besides myself, with the slightest of scratches to their body, does this make it interesting enough for you?" Kiria turned back towards Alex at his words, his heart pounding in his his chest from what he was seeing despite the fact that he was realizing his chances of escaping alive were quickly dwindling. Seeing the corners of Kiria's mouth raise very slightly, Alex sighed before taking an offensive stance once more, while Kiria took one as well while his right hand started extending and change from the elbow down until it too resembled a large scythe. The two just stood there staring at each other for a couple of beats, one second, two seconds, then they vanished as they clashed right in the middle.

***

Two figures stormed through the haunted seeming woods surrounding the school, both enraged at the fact that they were fired after Alex brought them to the headmaster for their crimes.

"I can't believe this, I only wanted to make art, ART! And yet I was fired for it?! Those girls should have been grateful to be turned into such beautiful statues, they should have begged for it! And yet all I got was tears and them begging to be let go, and then I was forcefully SHAVED and FIRED!" The other figure sneered at her companion, and stated,

"Typical pure breed, you think everything revolves around you! You're not the only one who was fired you know!" Ishigami Hitomi sneered at the speaker, Mako Yakumaru, former nurse and a member of the group founded by Hokuto, Anti Thesis.

"Making art is completely different than basically being a terrorist you know! I'm surprised they let a worthless mutt like you go, maybe the kennels were full!" Mako turned and head butted Hitomi as she growled,

"Say that again, I DARE you!" Hitomi put force into her neck as she tried to push Mako back as well, and was about to say something when the sound of a branch snapping made both of them forget their argument, as they turned towards the sound while getting ready to fight. "Whoever's there, I would suggest coming out right now, or we might have to get a little rough with you; cause neither of us has had a good day, and we'd love to burn off some steam." As she spoke, Mako's fingers on both hands started elongating until they looked like fleshy whips, that then started darting around the area as if to scare out whoever was watching them.

Under the gazes of the two women, a solitary figure emerged from the shadow of the tress, however she looked neither frightened or even nervous. What made the two freeze was that she was easily the most beautiful woman they had ever seen, with her long silver hair set into several braids, and a bust that rivaled even the size of their heads. While they were transfixed with her appearance, with Hitomi even wanting to turn her into 'art', the woman suddenly,

"Who I am is of no importance, I am merely a maid."
