Appearing in front of the out-of-control Phenex-san and Tiamat-san, Alice spoke to them with a bright smile and a gentle voice that even gave me chills.
[...Phenex?]
[I- I- I- I'm sorry. I- I unconsciously got excited and got carried away. I'm really sorry about that...]
When Alice called out her name, Phenex-san's body shook and she apologized in a shaky voice.
It was a strange sight to see the extremely masochistic Phenex-san being clearly frightened, but if it's Alice, I guess she's able to punish Phenex-san without satisfying her fetishes.
[...Tiamat?]
[I had no self-control. I should be ashamed of this. I was unconsciously led upon by my emotions... I'm fine now. I could feel not just my feelings, but also my blood being completely drained out of me, so I'm sadly calm now.]
Tiamat-san's face also paled when Alice called her name, and I could tell that she was feeling a great amount of fear.
For her to inflict so much fear to these two, I honestly think she's really amazing. After talking to them with a smile on her face and nodding once, Alice calmly spoke.
[...I see, everyone makes mistakes after all. You can't help it, but keep in mind what's going to happen after you make those mistakes... So, what are you two intelligent ladies going to do to avoid being punished by me?]
[I'm leaving! Instantly and quickly!]
[I'm going home and voluntarily see myself in solitary confinement. For a few days or so for sure...]
It seems that Alice's punishment is so horrible that the two of them said they were leaving immediately.
I guess this answers one of the questions I had for some time.
All the Ten Demons had quite the unique personalities, and some of them, like Phenex-san and Tiamat-san, are dangerous. The reason why such a unique group of people is able to make it as the executives of the Phantasmal King's camp, which boasts the largest number of subordinates... is probably because Alice, their King, can hold their reins.
[I see, I see... Then, while I'm smiling... Get lost.]
[ [ Thank you for your hard work!!! ] ]
Immediately after Alice told them this, Phenex-san and Tiamat-san ran away at what could be described as lightning speed.
Her appearance here was honestly helpful. If it had just been me, it would have been somewhat alright... but with everyone present here, those two would be too much.
Just as Sky-san worried, they might just bring about psychological shock to people like Aoi-chan and Hina-chan. Well, that's probably why Alice immediately moved this time...
[...Our perverts had caused trouble. Well, with that, they should be quiet for a few days... Thinking how they'll return to normal after a few days makes my head hurt though.]
[Ahh, unnn. That's really helpful, thanks.]
With an astounded expression on her face, Alice disappeared again. That was a good solution for the moment but...
[Sky-san, we've gathered quite the attention, so how about we move away from here?]
[I suppose so. Let's move on to the next location then.]
Even though the most recent threat has passed, we've attracted quite a bit of attention, so I don't feel comfortable staying here. Well, let's just move to the next place and come back here later.
Understanding my thoughts, Sky-san immediately agreed to move to the next place.
As we walked away from the plaza where the main venue was located, I asked Sky-san where we would be going next.
[I'm thinking of having everyone visit the chapel next. It was a very popular place at this year's White God Festival, and the lottery to draw out those who are allowed entry was quite befitting to its fame. As for everyone, arrangements have already been made for you to get in.]
[I see, a chapel to dedicate prayers for Shallow Vernal-sama huh... I'd love to do that, Sky-dono, but I don't know much about the proper etiquette to praying...]
[Please don't worry. It's not that difficult, and I can guide you through it if you need it.]
I had heard that the chapel would be a popular place to pray, and since it was a rare opportunity to pray in the God Realm... close to her territory, the Sanctuary, there was a rush of applications, mainly from pious devotees.
When Anima heard that she could go to that chapel, she looked very excited. This is because Anima is actually a firm devotee of Shiro-san.
She visits a temple in the Human Realm once a month, and although she said she doesn't know much about proper etiquette, I think she actually knows more about this than most of us.
Well, for Anima, Shiro-san is the one who gave her a new life, so I can understand why she holds faith towards her. Although she hadn't shown it outwardly back then, she had been quite nervous when we went swimming in the beach before.
...Well, in fact, other than Anima, I guess the only people who had personally seen Shiro-san would be Sieg-san and Lilia-san?
I almost misunderstood because I see her very often, but I guess the chance to meet Shiro-san, the pinnacle of the world, would be something that most people don't even get once in their lifetime.
