Chapter 379

Meeting Caraway-san again, I finished introducing her to Anima and the others, who she had never met before . I didn’t know why, but Anima had an unusually good impression of Caraway-san for some reason .

Do they feel some kind of connection between them, being that both of them are beast-type Demons?

At about the same time this question popped into my mind, a voice suddenly called out .

[……Sorry for waiting, everyone!]

Vigorous familiar voices…… Turning towards the voice, Sieg-san held her head in her hands .

At the end of our gazes, two shadows came running .

A familiar-looking man and woman came running towards us, dashing towards us in a zigzag pattern while crisscrossing with each other . As they intercrossed in front of us, they did a cartwheel in the air before landing . They then did a backflip, stood back-to-back, and ended it with a pose .

[Long time no see, everyone!]

[We have arrived~~]

Of course, it was Sieg-san’s parents who showed up with an aura that blew away everyone’s mind…… Ria-san and Fia-san .

[We totally nailed it, Rei . ]

[Yeah, all the practice we did for this day paid off . It was a perfect entrance! Everyone seemed so moved that they were speechless . ]

You’re mistaken . We were so dumbfounded that we’re speechless .

Also, Rei-san and Fia-san, it’s fine and all for you to be proud of your achievement but…… If you don’t step on the brakes soon, Sieg-san would start focusing on you, you know?

But of course, the two wouldn’t settle down easily, and Sieg-san’s usual scolding was about to begin…… but for some reason, I heard “a voice different from earlier” .

[……Fufufu, ahaha, haa–HAHAHA! You call that a perfect entrance? Naive! You’re as naive as a new-born baby!]

[W- Who are you!?]

……As far as I knew, she was the world’s greatest idiot .

[It can’t be helped . For the sake of the young chicks who don’t yet know the vastness of the sky, Let me show you what true entrance looks like!]

With her headache-inducing monologue, an idiot and the clone of said idiot came running from the distance…… in a cat and dog stuffed costume……

Then, the idiot dog and the idiot cat jumped in the middle of the group, crossing with each other while doing horizontal spins .

Their movements certainly look amazing, but if it’s her, even if she made an entrance like that……

[T- That’s impossible! C- Could that possibly be…… “The Divine Exchange”!?]

[T- This is unbelievable…… Isn’t that a lost technique!?]

However, there were two people who were actually hooked by her movements .

In front of their gazes, the idiot dog and idiot cat landed and immediately did a twisting backward knee trip, and with a spin, they kicked each other’s legs in the air to return to their original positions .

[How could this be!? You linked the Divine Exchange with a “Double Crescent Moon”!?]

[I- It’s not possible for one’s body to withstand that! What is with these two, are you monsters……]

I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but what is this? What’s with the very cool names? Who the heck gave it those names?

After running and lining up in a row, the idiot dog stepped on the idiot cat’s shoulder and leaped high into the air while spinning around . The idiot cat approached her, leaping across the ground like a gymnast, and then struck a pose at the area where the idiot dog landed with their backs facing each other .

[……A- Aaahhhh…… “Shooting Star”…… How could…… this be……]

[Moreover, the other one did a “Ground Combination”…… T- There’s no way humans can do that!]

……You two aren’t humans either, Rei-san and Fia-san . You’re elves, remember?

For us, what the idiots did didn’t really matter, but for Rei-san and Fia-san, the idiot duo’s entrance was really shocking, as they both fell to their knees and hung their heads at the same time .

[……We lost . ]

[……I never thought there would be performers like them in the world…… Who in the world are you!?]

……They’re the irredeemable idiots .

[Fufufu, I’m glad you asked . I’m the star that shines on the world…… the Mysterious Transcendental Beauty Alice-chan!]

[ [ W- What did you say!? ] ]

Rei-san, Fia-san, you’re getting too into the mood . Somehow, even though I’m just watching them, I felt really tired .

[The Mysterious Transcendental Beauty Alice-chan…… W- Who in the world are you!?]

[I- I don’t know who that is at all…… That must be why she calls herself the Mysterious Transcendental Beauty Alice-chan huh!]

No, that’s just because that’s her name, okay!? For crying out loud, she just said her name was Alice!

[Fuuu, I can’t tell you who I am but……]

Even though you just said your name to them!? You aren’t hiding anything, you’re being completely open!

[You guys have a lot of potential . All I wish is that you don’t become complacent . The pinnacle of your career as performers is still a long way off . Please keep that in mind and keep working hard . ]

[The Mysterious Transcendental Beauty Alice-chan…… T- Thank you very much!]

[Yes, we’ll try our best to catch up with the Mysterious Transcendental Beauty Alice-chan one day!]

I couldn’t keep up with them anymore……

In front of me, who couldn’t keep up with them at all due to the difference in tension, Rei-san and Fia-san were in tears, as if they were overcome with emotions…… until swords were thrust towards their necks .

[……U- Ummm, Sieg? T- This is……]

[Sieg-chan, calm down……]

[…………… . . ]

Sieg-san’s eyes were filled with murderous intent . Well, they reaped what they sowed .

[……You two are being disrespectful to Phantasmal King-sama!]

[ [ ……Eh? Phantasmal King…… -sama? ] ]

When Sieg-san told them that, they completely stiffened…… before a few moments later, they slowly turned to Alice .

[……Errr…… you’re…… Phantasmal King-sama?]

[Yes, the true identity of the Mysterious Transcendental Beauty Alice-chan…… Tadahh! The Phantasmal King!]

With exaggerated movements, she took off her stuffed costume and appeared in the form of the Phantasmal King, clad in a black hood with dangling chains .

When Rei-san and Fia-san saw this, the color completely disappeared from their faces…… and they smoothly knelt down in a dogeza .

[M- M- M- My apologies! W- W- W- We didn’t know you were Phantasmal King-sama……]

[P- Please excuse us for our rudeness……]

Perhaps remembering their flippant conversation from earlier, they both shuddered and said their apologies .

Hearing this, Alice nodded once in satisfaction and began to speak in a pompous tone .

[Well, it’s no wonder you don’t recognize me . Not only am I the Phantasmal King, I’m also a top-notch performer…… Each of my movements are perfectly sophisticated beauty brought into existence . Just for this moment, you can buy this “Performance Textbook” that I wrote for the special price of———- Fugyaaahhh!?]

[……Stop fooling around and behave yourself . ]

[K- Kaito-san!? N- No, I was just instructing them as fellow performe——– Migyaaahhh!? Y- You’ww teaw off my chweeks…… You’ww teaw them off! You’ww teawing them off!]

[……Come here for a sec . ]

[Niyaahhh!? Don’t dwag me whiyle youw hand is on my chweek…… I- I’m sowwwwwwy! I got cawwied awaaaayyy!]

Beating up the idiot who started coercing the two frightened people to buy her stuff, I forcibly dragged her away .

Just because I’ve been spoiling her a bit lately, she’d become like this…… It’s been a while since I scolded her . Let’s do that .

[……Hey, Sieg-chan? Is that person really Phantasmal King-sama?]

[Yes . ]

[……Ummm, Miyama-kun is making her sit in a seiza and scolding her……]

[……She’s the Phantasmal King . ]

Dear Mom, Dad———- I rendezvoused with Rei-san and Fia-san . It would have ended with just a few words of greeting, but a certain idiot made it take a staggering amount of time . Unnn…… It’s been a while since I straightened her out———- so I’ll scold her .
