"The smell of burnt feathers... It seems to be real feathers."
As she lifted her long hair and walked down the stairs, a slight stinging sensation came from her face.
"Blood? When?"
A small cut less than two centimeters long was made on the left side of my face, and it healed on its own in less than a few seconds.
"It was probably cut by some metal fragments that flew out earlier... Luckily, nothing serious happened."
There was no poison or even magic residue in the wound, which relieved Kurosaki Azami, who was worried about being ambushed by the enemy, and he turned to leave.
5 minute later.
"Has that... guy... gone... far?"
A hissing sound of electricity rang out, and Penny the hen began to speak using her broken machine vocal cords.
"They've gone too far... Quickly retrieve that fragment, and then... get a new body..."
Despite being blasted into a state of electric roasting, Lucky's voice still carried that affected excitement.
"This move...squeak...can't be hidden for long..."
"Quickly... offer that person's blood... to Lord Malak..."
————————————————The Crimson King———————————————————
"No wonder there are so many rabbits, they're mass-produced."
This area is no longer the office area.
The iron escalator hangs in mid-air, and the molten iron below makes one feel as if they are in a furnace.
More than half a meter above Azami Kurosaki's head are three production lines, with conveyor belts hanging from the ceiling bringing in dolls from time to time.
Rabbit, hen, and pig.
"So, they could come back at any time? No, there are only a few narrow bridges here. If they jump down here to ambush me, I'll just throw them into the molten iron and melt them down."
"Or do they have ulterior motives?"
Hell - Crimson Hall.
"Have you noticed anything wrong, Justice?"
Marina asked, turning her head as she chewed on potato chips.
"I didn't realize that the traces of magic here are exactly the same as normal. In fact, it's more accurate to say that Kurosaki Azami is doing quite well."
Justice Sister, who was also snacking and watching the live stream, gave a vague reply.
"That kid is not far from the core of the defense. As long as he destroys the core, takes the last lord's insignia, runs out and takes over the throne, everything will be over."
"I'm back... How is Azami Kurosaki?"
Pandemonica came to submit her work report for the month a few minutes ago, and Lucifer left temporarily to handle it. He just returned.
"See, that should be it, it should be over soon."
Following Marina's finger, Her Majesty the Queen seemed to notice something amiss.
"Although the closer you get to the defensive core, the higher the magical energy in the surrounding environment becomes..."
"But this concentration is already abnormally high!"
Her Majesty's pupils constricted, her face filled with disbelief.
"It's as if what's waiting inside isn't some defensive core, but rather..."
At the center of the underground factory in the amusement park.
"Strange, where did those rag dolls go?"
The final defensive core had been completely shattered into dust, but the pursuit battles that would have followed each time the core broke did not occur as expected.
"That's because we're doing something more important! Hehehehehe!"
"You're that dead rabbit!"
Like a scroll of light emerging from a water curtain, three puppet animals suddenly appeared, huddled together, with a huge crucible in the middle.
The surrounding area was protected by extremely sophisticated invisibility magic, which Kurosaki Azami, who had no magical talent, naturally couldn't detect.
Do you know about 'resurrection spell'?
Lucky the rabbit introduced himself with a comical gentleman's bow.
"The elixir of immortality of the Celestial Emperor, the reincarnation magic of the demon wizard, the resurrection of the pyramids of ancient Egypt... Unfortunately, in this era of mysterious decline, only Lord Malak's resurrection magic is the most perfect!"
The laughing rabbit pointed at the boiling crucible.
"One's own soul, the body of a servant, the blood of an enemy, boiled with all sorts of dangerous potions, can bring even a demon lord back to life!"
You scumbag author, you plagiarized!
"Really? But where do you machines get flesh and blood to use as sacrifices?"
"unnecessary."
A voice came from the crucible, low and weak, but filled with a thirst for revenge.
“You know what? In my hundreds or thousands of years of demonic life, especially when I saw you, I realized something.”
Malak's voice emanated from the crucible and echoed for a long time.
"Whether human or demon, there are limits!"
"What are you trying to say, Malak!"
Kurosaki Azami and Lucifer's voices rang out together.
"Flesh and blood are weak, machines ascend! I'm not a demon anymore, Azami Kurosaki—"
In the boiling cauldron, several streams of strangely colored liquid were spilled onto the three dolls.
"I will surpass the demon!"
The three animals were all stunned, their eyes turning blood red.
"Activating the backup plan—"
Crackling sounds filled the air as the members of the Happy Gang smashed things, accompanied by a series of emotionless, mechanical noises.
"Operation Joyful Killer is initiating—"
A highly technological red light swept upwards from the ground, and a giant robot appeared.
Three heads, three hands, each from one of three animals.
"Please welcome Lord Kurosaki—"
—Enjoy a joyful day.
The adjustment system will be launched in a couple of days, so there may be a few days without updates. Here's a short apology chapter!
Apology Extra Chapter: Chika-chan Awakens Her Stand
(This is another timeline, where Fujiwara Chika was stabbed by an arrow from the Kira family when she went to visit Kurosaki Azami's house, and later, when Kurosaki Azami was not there, she awakened her Stand in the student council room.)
"Fujiwara, it seems you've awakened your Stand..."
Shirogane Miyuki patted Fujiwara Chika on the shoulder. Fujiwara Chika, who hadn't looked at it before, glanced at it once, clapped her hands together, laughed, and said, "Eek! Alright! I've awakened!" With that, she fell backward, clenched her teeth, and lost consciousness.
Yu Ishigami panicked and hurriedly gulped down several mouthfuls of red tea. Chika scrambled to her feet, clapped her hands, and laughed loudly, "Hee! Good! I've awakened!" Laughing, she ran towards the door without saying another word, startling Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane.
Not far from the gate, I kicked myself into the pond. I struggled to my feet, my hair disheveled, my hands covered in yellow mud, and my body soaking wet.
The crowd couldn't stop him; they patted and laughed as they walked him all the way to the outside of the student council building.
Everyone looked at each other with wide eyes and said in unison, "So Chika-chan has gone crazy with joy."
Kaguya cried, "How could such a miserable thing happen! I awakened some kind of substitute and got this terrible illness! Now that I've gone mad, when will I ever get better?"
Ishigami Yu's wife, Komiko, said, "She went out perfectly fine this morning, how did she end up with this illness! What are we going to do?"
The others advised, "Grandma, don't panic. We'll send two people to follow Qianhua-chan for now. We'll get some fruit and snacks from the student council room to treat the readers who came to vote, and then we'll discuss things further."
At that moment, some people brought fruit, some brought black tea, some brought snacks, and some even brought two chickens.
The crowd then brought out some tables and chairs, inviting the readers to sit and drink, and to discuss what to do about her madness. One of the readers said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible?"
The group asked, "What's the idea?"
The man said, “Does Qianhuajiang have anyone she fears the most? She was so happy that phlegm welled up and clouded her mind. Now, all she needs is for the person she fears to slap her and say, ‘The arrow’s direction was just to fool you; you haven’t realized it.’ She’ll be startled, spit out the phlegm, and then she’ll understand.”
Everyone clapped and said, "This idea is excellent, brilliant! Chika-chan is most afraid of the general affairs manager, Kurosaki Azami. Alright! Quickly find Kurosaki Azami. He probably doesn't know yet and is sleeping at home." Another person said, "Sleeping at home? He knows perfectly well; he's been going to Hyakka-o to make money since dawn and hasn't returned yet. Hurry and go find him."
One person rushed to greet him, but halfway there, he encountered Kurosaki Azami, followed by a errand boy carrying seven or eight bowls of ramen and forty or fifty thousand yen, who had come to offer their congratulations.
Upon entering, he met Kaguya, who burst into tears and recounted her story. Kurosaki Azami asked in surprise, "Is she truly unlucky?" A chorus of voices outside urged Kurosaki Azami to speak. Kurosaki Azami handed the ramen and money to Ishigami Yu and then came out.
The group discussed the matter with him. Kurosaki Azami hesitated, saying, "Although I am Chika-chan, I have now awakened a substitute, who is the heroine of this book. The heroine of this book cannot be hit! I heard Lucifer say that if you hit the heroine of this book, the scumbag author will be beaten with a hundred iron rods and sent to the eighteenth level of hell, never to be the male lead again. I dare not do such a thing!"
Shirogane Miyuki said, "So be it! Kurosaki Azami, you established a passionate organization, making a living by killing people every day. White knives go in, red knives come out. The scoundrels don't even know how many thousands of iron rods they've recorded for you in the book. Even if you add another hundred rods, what does it matter? I'm afraid that even if you run out of iron rods, you still won't be able to settle this score."
Or perhaps you cured Chika-chan's illness, and the scoundrel author, in his praise, lifted you from the seventeenth level of hell—who knows?
The readers said, "Don't just tell jokes. Kurosaki Azami, this matter has to be done this way. You have no choice but to make an exception." Kurosaki Azami, unable to resist the crowd's persuasion, had no choice but to drink two bowls of wine to bolster his courage. He put away his previous caution, put on his usual fierce demeanor, rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform, and walked into the school.
Five or six people followed. Kaguya rushed out and called out, "Kurosaki-kun, you can only scare him, don't hurt him!" The others replied, "Of course, no need to tell us." With that, they left.
On the road, they saw Fujiwara Chika standing in front of a building, her hair disheveled, her face covered in mud, one shoe missing, clapping her hands and shouting, "Awakened! Awakened!" Kurosaki Azami walked up to her like a fierce demon and said, "You damned beast! What have you awakened?" and slapped her across the face. The crowd and neighbors couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
Although Kurosaki Azami had mustered the courage to strike once, he was still afraid inside, and his hand trembled so badly that he dared not strike a second time. Chika-chan was also knocked unconscious by the slap and collapsed to the ground. All the neighbors rushed over to rub his chest and pound his back, and after a while, he gradually regained his breath, his eyes brightened, and he was no longer crazy.
The others helped him up and sat him on a bench near the building entrance. Kurosaki Azami stood to one side, noticing a throbbing pain in his hand; when he looked down, he saw his palm was upturned and he couldn't bend it back. He thought to himself with annoyance, "As expected, you can't hit the 'female lead,' and now even the Bodhisattva is taking offense." Thinking about it, the pain intensified, and he quickly used his vampire powers to heal it.
Chika looked at everyone and said, "Why am I sitting here?" She added, "I've been feeling drowsy all day, like I'm in a dream." Everyone said, "Chika-chan, congratulations on your awakening! You were so happy just now that you coughed up some phlegm, but you're all better now. Please go home and send the messenger home." Chika said, "Yes. I remember I awakened the [Cancerous Cancer of Earth]." She tied her hair up and borrowed a basin of water to wash her face. Tanuma Tsubasa had already found the missing shoe and put it on her.
Seeing Kurosaki Azami standing nearby, he feared she would start scolding him again. Kurosaki Azami stepped forward and said, "Chika-chan, it wasn't my audacity that I dared to do that; it was Kaguya-sama's idea, and she asked me to come and persuade you."
After seeing that Chika had washed her face, Ishigami Yu brought her some tea, and they went home together. Chika went first, followed by Kurosaki Azami and the others. Kurosaki Azami noticed that the back of Chika's clothes was very wrinkled, and he kept his head down and straightened them for her dozens of times.
Upon arriving home, Kurosaki Azami called out loudly, "Chika's back!" Kaguya came out to greet her and was overjoyed to see that Chika wasn't mad. Chika bowed to Kaguya and thanked Kurosaki. Kurosaki Azami repeatedly said uneasily, "It's just a little money, not enough for you to reward people." Chika thanked everyone again.
Just as they were about to sit down, a well-dressed butler rushed in, carrying a large red invitation card: "Young Master Shijou has come to pay his respects to the newly awakened Miss Chika."
