So Silica will wear the equipment she previously wore for the time being cause reasons...
As the devil emperor is walking back to town he said "combat mode off" and the Shoosuvas fused into one small majestic Shoosuva, Silica admired it a bit as it's a new beast she never saw before as beforehand he used a Barghest [CR 4], noticing her curious look the emperor simply said "This is the evolved form of the Barghest given by the quest" as an excuse.
As they wandered in the city the ones that wanted to approach Silica to party with them noticed the devil emperor and remembered about her saying that she will be in a temporary party until her brother comes [she refers to him as her brother], so as they are about the same height with the emperor only slightly taller you would guess they are twins or siblings. Now, this is when they both meet Rosaline that before mocking her inability to go onto the high floor she first ridicules the devil emperor about him being too young and stuff but he just ignores her and says "No need to listen to an annoying insect, now let's go." Rosaline is quite mad but she can only grind her teeth and wait until the right moment to kill them.
Now the devil emperor [that I will now refer to as just "Satan"] ate with Silica and talked about some things like why players sometimes act like villains and stuff. Now Satan is walking towards Silica's room and knocked, after saying that it's about tomorrow's plans and hearing that it's fine he, without missing a beat opened the door with a Mirage Sphere in hand only to witness Silica frozen in place in her underwear, he immediately took the innocent Shoosuva that followed him and put it on his face as protection for his eyes plus as a shield from incoming slaps, of course as it's a game so Silica wore her pajamas with a press of a button and said she's dressed, this has happened in the real world a couple of times so she's calmer plus it's a game... Satan still held the Shoosuva on his face but he started talking about things about the floor, halfway to the conversation Satan relented and put the Shoosuva gently on the floor so he could show her the mirage sphere but suddenly the Shoosuva headbutted the door for it to slam against the eavesdropper's face, it hurt like hell but he successfully fled from there, Satan glanced at it explained the situation to Silica and continued their discussion...
------------Satan Pov----------------
The next day Silica and I arrived on the 47th floor, her being cute looked around at the flowers in wonder while I scanned the area, her noticing this floor is mostly visited by couples blushed, but this time unlike in the anime, nodded and had a determined look on her face, as she was daydreaming a bit I called her name, she got startled and shortly after continued walking with me towards the Hill of Memories.
We continued walking until the... tentacle flower monster grabbed Silica's legs to drag her but I took out my rapier before the tentacles reached her and stabbed them, I joked saying: "Wow damn that game developer making his monster this perverted!" Silica blushed and continued our journey with me equipping a lance as the damage is good plus the reach to kill monsters ambushing Silica is especially good, he let Silica finish off the monsters so she can level up faster...
Now we found the flower we were looking for and I just nodded as she looked at me, Silica was overjoyed as she held the Pneuma Flower in her hands, I patted her and said: "let's revive her in town as this area is a bit dangerous and to put Pina at ease as you are in a safe area." she nodded and we prepared to go back home. But as we all know would happen I stopped and called out to Rosaline and her hidden goons as we arrived at the bridge.
Her being cocky and stupid spouted about how stupid I was and that we are fools after I told her I searched for the Titan's Hand, and as she's talking about the death in the game not proven in real life she felt a chill go down her spine but she ignored it, big mistake...
As her goons rushed to attack me, they slashed at my body, with each slash their glowing weapons had accumulated black cracks after they were done playing around I clapped and their weapons broke, then I said "You dare attack me? Someone who has a level equal to that of the clearers? Me, Satan, the emperor of devils?", I started cackling activating a skill
After we returned back to the inn I apologized for using her as bait, she laughed it off and said: "So, you are this strong now huh?" I replied with an awkward smile "Of course, I wanted to protect you. How can I protect someone while there are even regular players stronger than me?" she blushed and hit my shoulder lightly while pouting saying "I am just weighing you down aren't I? Go join the clearers and clear the game instead of protecting me! I won't take no for an answer!" She probably felt guilty because of me huh? she continued with a genuine smile blushing "Because when you finish the game we can continue being together in the real world!", I sighed and said "Look at you being so serious... alright I'll join my guild in clearing the game but on the condition that you will stay somewhere you won't die. Here take this amulet for protection." he then handed her the "Demonic Protection" necklace, the necklace summons the highest level fiends Satan can summon at the time when she's in critical danger. She accepts as she knows he won't join the clearers if she doesn't agree to that condition...
After dealing with Silica I closed the door to my inn room and started typing a message "Hey Kirito, it's ya boi Satan here and I caught the enormous hand villains for ya" Kirito replies quite fast "What is wrong today with you Satan? and do you mean the Titan's Hand guild???" me being Satan waited a bit to make him impatient and said, "I just wanted to try slang because it was interesting to see your reaction to it... And yes it is the Titan's Hand basterds." Mint introduced the emperors to Kirito as it would be convenient in the future for them to know each other and it would mean more friends for Kirito... not really but Mint gave that reason to Kirito so he would act friendlier to them, they sometimes chatted, Satan's flashback ends here as Kirito sent him another message "Sorry for troubling you and thank you for avenging him..." Satan says "No problem, now I need to sleep after this hard day so goodnight." Kirito-"Goodnight Satan"
