The tension in the room quickly escalated with Ao's Dragon Aura bursting out of her body, but Shuten Douji's laughter stopped it almost immediately.
"Hahahaha, I was just joking."
Even so, Ao still glared at Shuten. Though, that managed to calm the Dragon King down from going to the stage and drag the Oni God to the ground, causing more problems.
Kai breathed a sigh of relief and let out an amused laugh. While he didn't like the fact that they almost caused trouble for the house, he also couldn't deny that the party became a bit more amusing.
"That little midget… As expected, this lady can't trust her."
"Haha… P-Please don't be too harsh to the boss." Ibaraki pleaded from the side with a wry smile. "She just loves pranks."
"This lady knows she loves it but doesn't need to do it like that," Ao replied as she crossed her arms, clearly uncomfortable. She was sulking, which was really rare.
