Metsuma, now holding the book, stands behind Cyra as she points the rifle at Klaus.
"How could you hurt someone like me, I'm a good man, you both are cruel bastards who don't understand my goals, my determination."
Klaus cries as he says this.
"「We. Do not care. 」"
She prepares to shoot but Metsuma stops her, moving the rifle down.
"Hey, let's talk, we can both use the book. I can look at it first and then you can have a simple solution to both of our problems, what do you think?"
Klaus just stares at him for a moment before seemingly giving in.
"Fine."
Klaus, sits on his butt, unable to move anymore.
"So, tell me, why are you so desperate to get this book? You were willing to kill me just to get it, you must have a serious goal if you're willing to take lives."
Metsuma asks, also sitting down.
"My stupid parents killed my friends, and I want to kill them, simple."
Metsuma hears this and can only feel remorse.
"I also lost someone important to me and I want to avenge them but taking innocent lives won't solve the problem, only create more for you in the future."
Metsuma says.
"Yeah, I don't care."
Klaus, seemingly having deceived, lungs at Metsuma once again, intending to kill him.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME, YOU VILLAINS ARE JUST TRASH, OBSTACLES IN MY WAY!!"
He yells, reaching out for Metsuma, Metsuma grabs his hand and sees that his hand is not deteriorating.
"I don't know why you are unable to deteriorate me, but it seems you can't as long as you touch my right hand.
Cyra shoots him straight in the head, killing him on the spot.
The perspective switches to Saikyo, as he waits. [The main protagonist will now only be Saikyo]
2 Hours pass, and the 2 sit there, listening to the music and eating the plates of food that come to them.
"This stuff is good."
Saikyo says, stuffing his face with food using his bare hands and sitting crisscross applesauce on his seat. Swan's hair turns blonde & yellow from the embarrassment of her friend eating like an uncaged animal while she eats the normal way.
"Please stop eating like that, it's embarrassing."
She says, trying to get him to calm down but he doesn't listen and continues to eat his way.
Knowing she can't do anything; she just continues eating and watching the show.
"I need to use the bathroom Swan, where is it?"
He says, his mouth still full.
Swan wipes his mouth using a napkin on the table.
"It's over there."
She points towards the bathroom nearby.
"Okay."
Saikyo jumps out of the chair and runs towards the bathroom, he walks in and uses the toilet to pee since he doesn't know how to use a urinal.
After he pees, he goes to the stink and washes his hand, having learned from Bal.
Another man walks into the bathroom and stares Saikyo down, he ignores the man until he locks the door and looks into the mirror staring at the man.
"Do you need something?"
He asks, staring at the man in the window.
The buff man charges at him to punch him but Saikyo dodges the attack and then uses his own skill.
" PUNCH!"
He punches the man to the wall, which slightly breaks the wall, the man grabs him by the head and throws him to the other side of the bathroom. He hits his head on the wall and lands on his back, the man jumps up to step on him, but he dodges again, using his small body to move fast, jumping around the area, using the skills he has picked up from the monkeys of this world. He keeps dodging the man as he tries to grab and punch him. Saikyo, landing on the ground, prepares to use the new skill he made before the Ball.
"KICK!"
He screams as his leg glows the same white aura, he lands an extremely powerful kick on his enemy, which sends them back into a sink, breaking it.
"Stupid brat"
The man says as he gets up, bleeding a little on his back, but before he can get up, Saikyo is already in front of him, prepared to punch him.
"PUNCH!"
He yells, striking the man right in the face, caving his face in, but the man survives and crushes his hand.
"OW."
He does another kick, straight to the man's face but the man gets up and starts using his own skill. The man envelopes in aura and his body starts turning shiny black. He punches Saikyo straight in the stomach, Saikyo is punched through the wall where he lands in a hallway, filled with more guards.
"Heh, this is much better than having to sit through all that boring stuff."
He looks at his hands to see a bit of blood again.
"Am I becoming more human and less slime? That could be bad, but that could also be good."
Saikyo gets on all fours, having adopted a better battle stance fit for what he already knows.
Swan keeps waiting, unaware of the battle ensues. Swan plays with her food a little before seeing a man walk to her table.
"Greetings, Swan."
The same man wearing the red-striped suit sits next to Swan.
"How's my lovely doll doing?"
He puts his hand on her hand but she quickly moves her hand away, her hair turning dark red & light orange.
"Screw off."
She says with a greater hatred in her voice, not liking his presence and wanting to choke him with her strings.
"You want to choke don't you, a little doll like you should know her place."
Swan gets angrier, her nails dig into the tablecloth, but she does her best to compose herself.
"I honestly don't know why you had to ruin yourself like this, you were such a great doll, why ruin your body and face, it was so perfect, far better than my other dolls."
His appearance changes as he speaks in his creepy and flirtatious tone, no longer what he originally looked like, his skin is now pale, his hair now white and slicked back, his teeth and eyes yellow, and he wears a white long suit coat with gold on the inside, white gloves with white pants and white and gold dress shoes.
"Look at me, NOW."
He forcefully makes her look at him by grabbing her chin.
"Think you can just walk away and disrespect me like that, how can you be so cruel and play with my emotions like that"
She looks at him furiously and smacks his hand away, trying not to scream, she says.
"Excuse me, you just wanted my body, I never even wanted you."
The man gets angrier, his face turns ugly, and he starts crying.
"EXCUSE ME, YOU SAY THAT AFTER YOU PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS, MY FEELINGS, MY LOVE! A HEARTLESS BITCH LIKE YOU SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE SOME SENSE OF HUMANITY!"
She listens to him, shocked at how he is screaming when they are in the middle of a show with people around but to her surprise, no one is actually paying attention to them and still looking at the show.
"Listen, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself after being such a whore last time 2 years ago."
Swan attempts to fight back but she feels a heavy aura emanating from him, she feels like she is being crushed, and it gets hard to breathe.
"I, Abha Shikijou, am a reasonable man, you know that, just come back to me as my doll."
He says, playing with her hair and regaining his composure.
"No."
Swan says, looking away from him but unable to do anything to him.
"If I can't convince you, then, I'll just threaten you."
He says smirking.
"Huh, what the hell are you talking about?"
Swan questions, nervous about what he means by that.
"Your, um, friend, is currently fighting some of my men, I doubt he will last long."
Swan hears this and tries to get up to save him, but a crater appears near her feet.
"Sit. Down."
Abha appears to have his hand in a gun gesture pointing at where the crater is.
Saikyo appears to be beating up the bodyguards and he is bleeding on his hands a bit and a bit on his forehead.
He jumps towards another guy, bites off a guy's ear, and punches another guy in the face using his PUNCH skill. He punches the guy whose ear he bit off and stands victorious over the unconscious bodies.
"Damn it, they blocked the bathroom wall, I'll need to go a different way."
He thinks to himself, but he then hears the elevator make a sound, he turns towards the elevator and sees it open to reveal the same woman who attacked them in the alley.
"You're the woman who attacked me and Swam!"
He yells.
"Woman? Don't be so rude. Please call me by my preferred title…Jack the Ripper."
She says this while smiling, pulling out a knife from her coat and twirling it in her hand.
"Sure, whatever."
Saikyo says, unamused by this title.
Saikyo charges in, trying to attack her quickly.
"I should hit her before she moves."
However, his attempt fails as she manages to dodge just in time and starts jumping around the hallway.
"It's just like before in the alleyway except this place is a lot wider meaning more room for movement."
Jack tries to cut him from behind, however having activated his Sense skill, he manages to dodge the attack and delivers a punch to her face, her head hits the wall, but she grabs his head as well and brings the knife closer to his face, but he backs up however, he gets hit in the leg by a knife thrown by Jack.
He falls to the ground and Jack is already approaching, running towards him with a malevolent smile, she tries to pierce him in the face with the 2 knives she holds but fails as Saikyo dodges the attack by lying down and kicks her in the stomach using his KICK skill. She hits the wall and grabs a nearby vase, throwing it towards Saikyo.
Saikyo blocks the vase, but his arms get pierced by some of the vase pieces and water splashes on him.
He looks around and sees that Jack seems to have disappeared. He looks towards the elevator to see Jack inside and trying to escape, holding her side.
"Heh, you really beat me good, but it seems I have stalled you long enough, my husband has already taken his favorite doll."
Jack says pressing the top floor button.
Saikyo runs towards the elevator.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Despite how close he was, he failed to get inside in time and the elevator door closed.
