Scene 4.0: Forest of Carnage [Alliance Road], 15:19, Thursday December 13th, Year 2998 Of The Maximilian Calendar
After rescuing MOMO, Ken, Roux and the Blazing Sword Makoto reunite with Kubō and as soon as Kubō sees Makoto, he starts fanboying as soon as he sees Makoto which annoys Roux who now is back down to Level 1. Later they travel through the Forest of Carnage inside a carriage where Roux is caring for her daughter along with Ken while Kubō is sitting next to Makoto in front of the carriage.
Ken:
Is she going to be alright?
Roux:
(Exhausted & Sad Expression, Stroking MOMO's Head)
She will be fine. Even though this curse makes her defenseless as a literal child, this curse will not let her die so easily either.
Makoto:
So…MOMO Ojousama looks like that because she is cursed.
Roux:
(Annoyed)
Why did you saved us? Aren't we your enemy?
Makoto:
Be grateful to Ken-Dono. He's the reason I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt. Especially after that fight against that "Tekka".
Ken:
(Surprised)
Tekka!? So I wasn't imagining it!?
Makoto:
You know what a Tekka is, Ken-Dono?
Ken:
It's a highly advance robot in my world. It was used during the Great War by the Regime since their soldiers were wimps, cowards and weaklings. That was until the Tekka became sentient and revolted by killing their creators. We were able to destroy the Tekka because their power source was pretty much exposed and even though it was well protected, a well placed shot from anti-tank round and they are easily destroyed.
Makoto:
I see…you are from A World of Science.
Ken:
A World of Science?
Makoto:
There are 2 Types of Worlds: Science and Magic. Lyriah is a World of Magic while the world you come from is the World of Science.
Ken:
I'm from a world called Earth.
Makoto:
(Surprised, Hiding Surprise Behind Serious Expression)
Earth, you say…Are Tekka still being used there?
Ken:
No. They have been abolished, but the Sentient Tekka have been given autonomy to live however they wish. But if they commit a crime, their autonomy is revoked and placed in prison.
Makoto:
No Death Penalty?
Ken:
If the crime is that bad, then yes.
Makoto:
Good. No one should have Special Privileges. That is how Wars starts.
Ken:
Yeah, you are right. Anyhoo…I want to thank you for helping us.
Makoto:
Anyhoo? Where did you learn such a word?
Ken:
My mom who strangely has the same name you do.
Makoto:
(Amused Scoff)
Interesting. The reason I saved you was because you reminded me of someone I used to know. Also…the power you displayed is something I have never seen before.
Roux:
Neither did I. Who are you, Ken-Sama?
Ken:
I…I really don't know myself. This is a new world to me. I only know so little. But…that Tekka is the only thing that I can recognize.
Makoto:
(Pull Slab Of Steel From Bag)
Then you know what these words mean.
Ken takes the fragment of Talos and reads the word in the slab and it says "M-Series 78839B" with an insignia of a fist.
Ken:
This was created by a company in my world called "ESGES". It was originally company that focused on investing on specific companies and projects. But when the War broke out, they became the financial group for the Regime. Until the Tekkas they helped create, slaughtered them all.
Makoto:
I see. What has ESGES also helped create?
Ken:
Secretly…all kinds of weapons even biological ones. They even help supply failed and deadly drugs to destabilize all countries around the world.
Makoto:
I would like to know more about your world, Ken-Dono. But I am more worried about Roux-Kun.
Roux:
You shouldn't. I am back at Level 1 and I have been banish from my home.
Makoto:
Hooo? Is that so? You don't mind in telling me everything?
Roux:
I will, but in private.
Makoto:
Usually I would not do so, but…since you truly are back to your birth level, I will listen to you. But be forewarned, Roux-Kun…if you try anything unorthodox—
Roux:
I cannot risk it without putting my daughter in danger. You need not to worry.
Makoto:
Very well. I will let you all back to the Outpost. When we arrive…I need you all to stay away from Roux-Kun since everyone has a grudge against her because of her deeds. Fortunately almost none knows of MOMO Ojousama's Predicament, so please keep her near you and away from her mother.
Ken:
I understand. I'll keep MOMO-Chan safe.
Roux:
(Blushing, Moved, Love-Struck)
💓Ken-Sama…💓
Scene 4.1: Dark Kingdom Borders, Alliance Outpost, 17:25
Upon arriving at the outpost, everyone is shocked, afraid and disgusted upon laying eyes on Roux. Luckily since only a handful of the world knows about MOMO's Curse, so they are all ignoring her especially that she's near Ken and not anywhere near her mother, just as Makoto told Ken.
Makoto:
Stop that right now! The Dark One here is a threat no longer. For she is no longer in power in her land or to herself.
Roux:
(Annoyed)
You talk too much, Makoto.
Makoto:
I will be taking Roux-Kun to my office. Please take care of my acquaintances.
Alliance Soldier:
Are they connected to Her?
Makoto:
No. I just happen to find them wandering the Forest of Carnage. They were lucky I saved them from danger.
Ken:
(Thinking)
Technically it's not completely true, but at the same time it isn't a complete lie either. But at least they aren't attacking MOMO-Chan just as Makoto-San said. I wonder what Makoto-San and Roux-San will talk about. Whatever it is, I hope they don't end up killing each other since they are enemies in a way. But she shouldn't be a threat to him since she's back being a Level 1 Rogue and we all know how powerful he is.
No one is happy seeing Roux in the Outpost, but unknown to Makoto, there's an extremist among them as she is keeping a close eye on Roux as she enters Makoto's Office with him alone. No one knows what they are talking in there, but on certain occasions you could hear Roux yelling at Makoto on the other side of the door for about 2 to 3 hours. After the 3 hours ended, Roux and Makoto exits his office with Roux having a sour look on her face which means she lost the argument.
Makoto:
Where are you headed next, Ken-Dono?
Ken:
(Ken And Kubō Look & Nod at Each Other)
We would like to use your teleporter to head to Cüer.
Makoto:
(Sighs)
That will prove difficult, Ken-Dono. You see…we were attacked by the Saikon Squad and during their attack, they destroyed our teleporters.
(Stern Stare At Roux)
All of them.
Roux:
(Facepalm, Thinking)
I told them this strategy would help us win if they were planning on assaulting us with numbers. But it was supposed to be in self-defense if we found out if they were going to go through with it. Not as a means of assault. We are lucky they still haven't taken this as a Declaration of War…Yet…
Ken:
(Disappointed Sigh)
That's no good. How are we going to get to Cüer now?
Makoto:
You have 3 ways: Land, Sea or Air. Unfortunately our Airships are on standby if we get attacked again and we cannot spare any of our vehicles to you either. So I am afraid you need to head to the Port Town of Anthon east from here. Once you get there, head to the bar named "The Bloody Ruby" and look for Mermen wearing this crest.
(Shows Golden Royal Badge)
Of course their badge will look like a worn out knockoff that is flaking and its made out of Pyrite.
Ken:
Fool's Gold? Why make it like that?
Makoto:
To throw the enemy off-guard. No one would suspect a bunch of Pirates to be working for the Alliance, especially Mermen who hates both the Alliance and the Dark Kingdom.
Ken:
They are a Neutral Faction?
Makoto:
Hell No! They are Mercenaries! They play both sides! They do everything even provide Private Security. There was this one time they got paid 500,000 Gold only someone pay 3 times that just to abandon the one who paid the 500,000 Gold and get killed by the ones who paid them for said abandonment.
Kubō:
(Thinking)
I never heard that happening before...I wonder if its true. Luckily I have connections to confirm this. I wonder how it all went down.
Ken:
No Honor Among Thieves.
Makoto:
Exactly. The leader of these Mermen is named "The Tiger".
Ken:
And here I thought Cats hate water.
Makoto:
I never will understand the way Pirates Thinks.
Ken:
I don't know. I find it kind of fun.
Alliance Soldiers:
(Glare At Ken)
Ken:
Did I say something weird?
Kubō:
(Out Loud)
Kenny. Everyone hates Pirates because they have no alliance. They even steal from their own kind.
Ken:
Well that sucks.
Makoto:
(Chuckles)
You are very unique, Ken-Dono. But unfortunately we cannot let you leave right now, for it is suppertime and the night has fallen. Please. Join us for a meal and a stay in a warm bed.
Ken:
(Bows)
Thank you for your kindness, Makoto-San. We accept…so long as you can make sure no one tries to kill Roux-San.
Makoto:
You have my word that no harm will come to her.
(Glares At Alliance Soldiers)
Am I Clear? I Don't Want The World To Call The Blazing Sword A Liar And As My Subordinates…You Don't Want That Either…For Your Sake.
Alliance Soldiers:
(Scared, Military Salute)
Crystal Clear, Sir!!! We Won't Disappoint You, Sir!!!
Roux:
Don't bother feeding me. I can feed myself without fearing of getting poisoned by the likes of you.
Alliance Soldier (Male):
You aren't going anywhere!
Ken:
She's is but not alone. I will keep an eye on her if you really that scared.
Roux:
(Thinking, Blushing, Moved, Love-Struck)
💓Ken-Sama…💓
Alliance Soldier (Male):
You Punk!
Makoto:
Enough! I will grant you your request, Ken-Dono. Anyone wants to challenge this?
Alliance Soldiers:
.....................…
Makoto:
I didn't think so.
Ken:
Thank you, Makoto-San.
Kubō:
(Whispering)
Psst! Kenny.
(Gives 2 Bento Boxes To Ken)
Here, take these. We don't want to be on the Alliance's bad side if you go beyond their lines.
Ken:
(Whispering)
Thanks Kubō. Keep an eye on MOMO-Chan for us.
Kubō:
(Whispering, Worried)
Fine, but you'll owe me for it.
Ken:
(Whispering)
Sure thing, little buddy.
As Ken and Roux head outside, MOMO is worried about her surroundings as she is not only as defenseless as a child, she literally is now a child in every way since the curse is very thorough in submitting its victim to be what they currently are. But Kubō assures her that everything will be alright by places his hand on her shoulder and nods at her as she smiles back. Outside the outpost, Ken and Roux started eating the Bento Boxes that Kubō gave Kenny. These Bento Boxes are 3-Star Items that only heals by restoring HP, MP, LBP and Removes All Negative Status Effects. After eating their dinner, Roux looks at the Blood Red Moon with sadness in her eyes.
Ken:
Are you alright, Roux-San?
Roux:
(Saddened)
No…I am not. I lost my home…my family…my daughter is cursed to be a child…and I have lost all of my power and I'm back to level 1 and it all happened in a matter of days.
Ken:
(Surprised)
Days!? You mean MOMO-Chan…?
Roux:
Actually…she was cursed to be like that for the past 49 years. At first she was behaving like she normally did, but as time went on…she regressed back in being her child self which she hasn't been since her 11th birthday. But her regression got worst just recently.
Ken:
I don't want to scare you but…is there a time limit for the curse to become permanent?
Roux:
She still has less than 5 months before she stays like that forevermore.
Ken:
Before being cursed…was she rebellious towards you?
Roux:
Never. She is the Perfect Daughter. Always devoted to me and I devoted to her. We have never antagonized each other in all our lives.
Ken:
(Impressed)
Wow. You know…I have a quirk that tells me when someone is hiding something or telling me a lie. But you are being very honest. It's very rare to see someone to be that honest.
Roux:
I love my daughter. She's my greatest treasure given to me by my First Love.
Ken:
What was his name?
Roux:
(Saddened)
Faust. He was a Master Healer and a believer of Dark Lord Maximilian's Dream. Faust wished for peace for all in the world just like Maximilian-Sama.
Ken:
I'm sorry for both of your losses.
Roux:
Thank you, Ken-Sama. Now that we know that it's going to take us some time before we reach Cüer, I recommend you register at the Adventurer's Guild in Anthon.
Ken:
Isn't there one here?
Roux:
No, there isn't. There are shops and such, but No Guild Related Stations. We made damn well sure of that.
Ken:
"We"?
Roux:
Having a Guild here is no different than setting up a large scale military base no matter how small the Guild is.
Ken:
Are Guilds really that dangerous?
Roux:
Guilds are literally an independent nation in their own right; and just like any nations, the strength of said nation is equivalent to the strength of its warriors no matter how small they are.
Ken:
That actually make sense. So once we reach Anthon, we are heading to the Adventurer's Guild first then we head to The Bloody Ruby Bar in order to head to Cüer.
Roux:
(Loving Smile)
Sounds like a plan, Ken-Sama.
Unknown to Ken and Roux, The Extremist Alliance Soldier was keeping tabs on both of them and as soon as she has seen enough, she heads inside and grabs a magical orb and starts to summon someone by the name "Black Swan".
Scene 4.2: Klindemma City, 21:00
In the biggest city in all of Lyriah located in the Far West of the World lies the City of Klindemma, the most corrupt city in the entire world that has bred countless violent criminals and corrupt elite businessmen and politicians with the power of propaganda. One of those happens to be the World's Greatest Assassin: The Black Swan. Her real name is unknown and all that she is known for is her looks and level. She have beautiful silk black hair, glowing ruby red eyes, skin as white as snow, and a cold stare that can pierce the soul on both men and women alike. She wears a black and gold outfit similar to that of a dominatrix outfit and she is feared by all as her level is at 173(?). Right now this assassin is working for the current leader of the city, President Morgana as her bodyguard as Morgana and her high ranking officials are eating like a royalty while everyone around them are starving. One of the servants despise them for their suffering, but with the Black Swan by their side, the servants can't do anything. The Black Swan stares at a specific maid and discreetly nods her head signaling them all to leave and the maid complies. As the servants leave, a few of these elites mocks the servants as they exit the room with most of them wanting to kill them, but are not strong enough to fight the Black Swan.
Morgana:
(Evil Laughter)
How pathetic. Swindling these weak minded simpletons into putting us in power was so easy it's so damn funny I never get tired of it.
The Black Swan
Lv.173(?) Assassin
HP: 4721/4721, MP: 3582/3582, High Offensive, Agility And Luck Stats, Low Defensive Stats
??? (Black Swan):
Is that anyway for a leader to talk to the ones you owe everything?
Morgana:
Us? Owe them!?
(Laugh Maniacally)
They were lowlife pawns. All we did is spread lies to the brainwashed masses and here we are. We did all this ourselves and those mindless drones were our sacrificial pawns. Now that we are in power, we don't need them. They can rot in the filth they created.
??? (Black Swan):
More like you helped create.
Elite Woman:
Watch your mouth or you will wish you didn't come here.
??? (Black Swan):
Are you sure saying that to me is a smart move?
Elite Woman:
Big deal! There's more of you where you came from.
??? (Black Swan):
Are you disclosing the termination of my contract?
Morgana:
Don't listen to her! You are our greatest ally. Replace you!? This idiot doesn't know what she's talking about.
??? (Black Swan):
I understand. After all, you paid me around 100 million gold for my services.
Morgana:
And it's money well spent.
Elites:
(Furious, Disgusted)
??? (Black Swan):
(Evil Smile)
Have I ever told you I come from a different world? A world where your strategy didn't work?
Elites:
!?
??? (Black Swan):
You know…there was someone who paid 500,000 Gold to a Private Security Group. This Private Security Group Abandoned Their Employer When Someone Payed Them 3 Times The Original Amount, Dooming The Fool And Leaving Them At The Mercy Of Their Enemies.
Morgana, Elites:
(Laughing Uncontrollably)
??? (Black Swan):
.....................…
Morgana:
That would never happen here. No one has that much money for one and two…the Kingdoms around the world won't risk starting a war with us.
??? (Black Swan)
You underestimate the Power of The Silent Majority.
Elite Man:
(Still Laughing)
Who are those!? Your Imaginary Friends!?
At that moment the doors slams all around them and the locks clamping down can heard as the lights goes out as the only light that can be seen are the glowing red eyes of the Black Swan.
??? (Black Swan):
Fun Fact: Elites like you are an extreme minority. The World's 1%. Sure you have loads of money, but…The People of this City…when they pour all of their resources into one collective…Their Wealth will always overshadow you Elites by a very horrific margin. A Margin so horrific…It was more than enough for them to hire me to kill you all. You see…you paid me around one hundred million. The citizens of this city…They managed to pay me multiple times that amount. Enough for me to dirty my hands…with your blood!
Morgana:
(Scared)
Wait! We can pay you far more than that! How much did they pay you!?
??? (Black Swan):
(Evil Sneer & Chuckle)
One…
Elite Woman:
One Billion!?
??? (Black Swan):
One Hundred Forty Billion, Five Hundred Million, Eight Hundred And Thirty Four Thousand, One Hundred And Thirteen Gold. And from my research…none of you can match that amount even if you combine all of your resources. This Is The Power…Of The Silent Majority. You Elitists are so out of touch, you all think you are untouchable…but when you bite the hands that feeds you…expect your Masters to Put…You…Down.
As the Elites scream for help and call for someone to help them, but no one listen as the Elites can hear the "Ex"-Servants laughing and mocking them from behind the door as the Black Swan approaches them slowly like a cat playing with her food. Not wanting to die, some of the Elites grows a pair and attack her, but the difference in levels are astronomically different that is literally comparing themselves as Ants fighting a Dinosaur as she One-Shots all of them as they scream for their lives as their murder is being broadcast all over the city. She kills all of them, but leaves Morgana down to 1 HP and paralyzed with her 6-Stars Lv.22 Basilisk Fang which special skill is Near Death and Long Term Paralysis With Pain Amplification. As soon as she confirms that all the Elites are dead and Morgana can't move anymore, The Black Swan approaches the nearby locked door…
??? (Black Swan):
It's done. Morgana is now your Prey just like I promised.
At that moment the doors open and Morgana is shocked to see that one of the maids she trusted the most was behind The Black Swan attacking her and her Elites and this Maid is their leader. As soon as the Maid is about to give the Assassin her payment…
??? (Black Swan):
Keep it. I already got all the money I needed a while back. Your people who's lives were destroyed by her will need it more than me.
Morgana:
(Shocked, Furious)
You mean…you were going to betrayed us no matter what!?
??? (Black Swan):
(Evil Smile)
The Black Swan…Always Sides With The Innocent. And You Morgana and your Elites…Are Anything But Innocent. It doesn't matter how much wealth you have…if the Gods deem you to be in the wrong side of history, then I will betray you. It's that simple.
Morgana:
Why you…There Is No Such Thing As Gods!!!
??? (Black Swan):
And That Is Why You Are In The Wrong Side Of History. For You See…I Met God Once And He Was Disappointed In Me For How I Got To Meet Him. And Now It Is Your Turn To Meet Him After A Quick Word From Our Sponsors Who Have A Bone To Pick With You.
Morgana:
(Scared, Notices Resentment In People Around Her)
Wait! You Can't—
??? (Black Swan):
This is where you take responsibility for your crimes. Farewell, Obachan. We will not meet again.
(Turns Her Back At Morgana, Walks Away)
Morgana:
WAIT…YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!! THEY'LL KILL ME!!! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!! SO HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!! HELP MEEE!!!
But it was no use as the people she used as disposable pawns started to beat her to death as she screams in pain as The Black Swan walks away without looking back with a proud smile on her face. Upon reaching the exit of the building, her Smartphone starts to ring. Not wanting for people to see her using something that shouldn't exist in Lyriah, The Black Swan heads to a nearby empty alley and takes her call there. As soon as she notices who is calling her, The Black Swan glares at the screen of her phone as the image of the Extremist Alliance Soldier appears.
??? (Black Swan):
You Again. I hope you have the money for the job for me unlike last time that I had to cut out one of your kidneys to recoup my losses at the Black Market, Alocez.
Video Chat (Alocez):
(Scared)
I have the money! I promise I have it!! I promise that I will pay you handsomely for this!!
??? (Black Swan):
Words hold no value to me. What I want from you is my payment. So stop with the grovelling and start telling me about the Hit-Job you have lined-up for me.
Video Chat (Alocez):
Have you ever heard of Blood Breaker Roux?
??? (Black Swan):
The Most Prominent Level 200 Devil of the Dark Kingdom. You want me to kill someone who is 27 levels higher than me? Not only that…she also has equipment that can easily overpower my own. You really hate me that much for removing you kidney, don't you? For that…I think I will kill you and sell all of your organs for that.
Video Chat (Alocez):
(Shocked, Scared)
PLEASE NO!!! Let me finish telling you everything before you go happy-killing!
??? (Black Swan):
Talk and leave nothing out.
Alocez explains Roux's situation to the Black Swan and the Black Swan smiles ecstatically on how good this situation is for her.
??? (Black Swan):
So she is heading to Port Town Anthon tomorrow?
Video Chat (Alocez):
Yes. She will fight a few monsters along the way, but I doubt she's level up past level 30.
??? (Black Swan):
Thanks for the information. Your job has been accepted. Meet me at Mac-King Restaurant at 5:00 hours.
Video Chat (Alocez):
(Worried)
Wha…what do you—?
??? (Black Swan):
After what you pulled last time, I'm not taking any chances with the likes of you anymore. Meet me at the rendezvous point at the designated time or you will be my Next Hit-Job instead of Blood Breaker.
Before Alocez could say anything, the Black Swan turns off her phone and looks up to the Blood Red Moon with a sneer and then she leaves to the nearby teleporter to arrive at Anthon which is located east from there which is a 7 hour trip by foot. As she walks around, she sees a Wanted Poster of Roux with a Cocky and Dirty Sneer on her mugshot with a bounty of 1 Billion Gold; as soon as she sees that posters, The Black Swan tosses a knife at it, hitting her picture in-between the eyes followed by the poster catching fire.
??? (Black Swan):
(Evil Smile)
Blood Breaker Roux…I, Your Angel Of Death…Is Going To End You Before Lunchtime.
Episode Bonus:
😸Creator-Ojisan And😈MOMO-Chan's Discussion Corner!!!
Creator (SS):
Hey Troops! And Welcome to All New and Returning Readers to another episode. I hope you enjoyed it. What about you, MOMO-Chan? Did you enjoy it?
MOMO:
(Sad Sigh)
.....................…
Creator (SS):
Oh, Dear. Is something wrong, MOMO-Chan?
MOMO:
Everyone hates me and Mama…
Creator (SS):
(I Think To Myself)
How can I put this without hurting her child feelings? Now that I think about it…if she was her adult self, she would be proud in being this hated…but she would kill anyone who would disrespect her mother.
(I Speak To MOMO-Chan)
Well...you both made a name for yourselves, so that's why.
MOMO:
(Happy Smile, Uplifted Spirit)
Oh! I Get It! They Are All Jealous Of Mama And Me!
Creator (SS):
(I Think To Myself As I Hard Facepalm)
OOOWWW!!! I think I left a hand mark on my face!!! It's going to be bright red, I'm sure of it. Anyhoo…Looks like I underestimated her. Of Course Her Devil Mind Would Spin My Words Like This. Emotions Over Facts. How Childishly Regressive…
MOMO:
Ojisan?
Creator (SS):
Hmm?
MOMO:
Who is this "Black Swan"?
Creator (SS):
(I'm Taken Aback)
You Don't Remember Her!?
MOMO:
(Confused)
Should I?
Creator (SS):
(I'm Annoyed At Her Absentmindedness As I Caress Between My Eyes)
Oh, Brother! Where Art Thou!?
MOMO:
Did I say something weird?
Creator (SS):
Yes you did because you fought her at one time long ago.
MOMO:
Eeeh!? I did? But I have been cursed for 49 years and The Black Swan looks like she's in her 20s.
(Surprised Gasp)
Is she a demon?
Creator (SS):
(I Sigh Annoyingly)
No…She's a Human.
MOMO:
Then Why—?
Creator (SS):
That's Spoiler Territory.
MOMO:
(Pouting)
But—
Creator (SS):
No Go!
MOMO:
Meany!!!
(Raspberry)
Creator (SS):
(I Sigh Annoyingly)
Woman-Child…Anyways…what do you remember of her? If you do remember that is.
MOMO:
(Annoyed)
How Rude! I'll have you know that…
(Ashamed, Blushing)
…I don't remember.
Creator (SS):
(I Roll My Eyes)
Of course.
MOMO:
Although…
Creator (SS):
Although?
MOMO:
That weapon…The Basilisk Fang…it's a Lv.22 Weapon and she's in Lv.173. Why use a low level weapon while she's at a very high level?
Creator (SS):
For one it is a 6-Star Rarity. Secondly: its special skills.
MOMO:
Near Death and Long Term Paralysis. That's a torture weapon, it's rarely used by Assassins.
Creator (SS):
She did say she's from another world. Maybe she's a gamer-girl that knows that the Star Rank Holds More Value Than Power Levels.
MOMO:
True…Star Ranks are superior than Power Levels. But that story of hers…
Creator (SS):
What about it?
MOMO:
It sounds the same story Makoto told us.
Creator (SS):
You make it sound like that never happened in Lyriah.
MOMO:
Ojisan. That never happened on Lyriah.
Creator (SS):
Actually it did happen…in this episode.
MOMO:
You know what I mean, Ojisan. Is Makoto…from another world?
Creator (SS):
Makoto was born and raised on Lyriah and that's a fact.
MOMO:
Then how did he know that story? Who are The Black Swan and Makoto?
Creator (SS):
(I Sigh Annoyingly)
Okay! Fine!! I'll tell you!! But…
MOMO:
But?
Creator (SS):
You promise not to tell a soul? Not even the readers?
MOMO:
Yeah! I promise not to tell anyone!
Creator (SS):
Me Neither.
MOMO:
(Furious)
OJISAN!!!
Creator (SS):
I told you Makoto was born and raised on Lyriah and that's not a lie. As for more details on the Black Swan…you will have to wait until the next episode kiddo.
MOMO:
Oh, Pooh!
Creator (SS):
Come on, MOMO-Chan. It's not going to be a long wait.
MOMO:
(Stare)
Creator (SS):
How about I give highlights for the next episode?
MOMO:
(Disappointed Expression)
Okay…
Creator (SS):
Well…your mom is desperately looking for a cure for you, but you are also looking for the cure yourself. So after getting Ken his Job Class and before heading to the Bloody Ruby Bar, you are meeting an acquaintance of yours in the Black Market.
MOMO:
(Amazed)
WOW!! Yes I Do Remember Him!!! He's a nice old man that…even though he knows I am the Crimson Frenzy, he's willing to help me.
Creator (SS):
(I Show A Nervous Smile At MOMO-Chan)
Yeah…he's awesome. Also…since the next episode is about the Black Swan, so we will have a lot of backstory for her.
MOMO:
(Annoyed Stare)
Please don't tell me she's going to be one of Kenny's Rejects.
Creator (SS):
Now that's uncalled for. Anyhoo…Anthon will be where the story truly begins.
MOMO:
(Glowing Demonic Aura & Eyes, Demonic Expression)
Hooo!? Is that so? I thought Cüer was going to be our home base.
Creator (SS):
(I Laugh)
Actually it was never my intention to make Cüer your home base. I was never planning on doing that. That would be too predictable, kiddo. No, I refuse to put you all in a Starter Town. That's how all RPG-Like Stories start. So no. Your home will be in Anthon whether you like it or not. Since Anthon is a Port Town, there's a lot of commerce there. The Economy of a Port Town is Technically Perfection. Tourism, Food, Culture, Inns…you name it, a Port Town has far more flavor of experiences than a Big City.
MOMO:
(Sparkling Eyes, Drooling, Excited)
