Chapter 501: 501

After some riot happened regarding Neun-san diary, we arrived at the venue where the Monster Race was held .

The Monster Race was filled with tremendous enthusiasm, and even though the venue was quite large, it’s kind of difficult to find an empty seat……

[You’re Miyama-sama, aren’t you? Welcome, thank you for coming to our establishment . Please allow me to lead you to VIP seats for Miyama-sama and his entourage . ]

[Ah, yes…… Thank you very much . ]

I also have a face pass here huh…… Apparently, VIP seats were available for me not just from restaurants . Seriously, I feel like my reputation is taking a turn for the worse at this Six Kings Festival .

Even though only people that hold a certain amount of power and authority were able to participate in this festival, I still feel uneasy about the future .

Well, putting aside how my reputation is going in a strange direction, the VIP seats we were led to was a good one . It was big enough for even Bell to fit in, so we could watch the race together .

I’m really grateful to Kuro and the others for their concern, so I’ll thank them again when the Six King Festival is over .

And apparently, we weren’t the only ones being ushered into the VIP section, because I saw three figures standing near the large glass window……

[Go! Keep go——— Fugyaaaahhhh!?]

[Come on! Run faster, number 2———- Migyaaaahhhh!?]

[This race is mi———– Higyaaaahhhh!?]

Seeing the “three people in stuffed costumes with horseheads of black, white and brown color” shouting, facing towards the glass window, I inadvertently knocked their heads, one after another .

[Dr . Vier, Neun-san, it seems like we can see well here . ]

[ [ [ What about your treatment towards us!? ] ] ]

[Shut up, idiot . ]

Seriously, what the heck is she doing…… Rather, I feel like I encounter her somewhere every single day, to the point that I’m starting to wonder if she’s some kind of mascot for the Six Kings Festival or something .

Letting out a big sigh, I moved the three horseheads to the side and started watching the game with Dr . Vier and Neun-san, as if nothing had happened .

[……Ummm, Miyama-kun?]

[What is it?]

[Errr, seeing Shalltear-sama sitting on a seiza…… even though they’re clones…… I’m feeling very restless……]

[Just think of them as irritating decorations . ]

I briefly replied to Dr . Vier, who spoke to me while glancing at the three idiots sitting in seiza on the edge of the room .

[……Ummm, Vier? I- Is it really alright…… For Kaito-san to treat Phantasmal King-sama like that……]

[Neun, listen here, okay? ……Only Miyama-kun is allowed to do something like that . If we do the same thing, our heads would be chopped off before you even know it . ]

[……I- I knew it . ]

It’s easy for me to forget, but Alice is the Phantasmal King, a completely superior being to Dr . Vier and the others . Moreover, among the Six Kings, she is someone that is considerably feared .

No…… it may just be that she’s very casual when she’s with me, but perhaps, she’s usually acting more dignified . After all, she’s one of the Six Kings……

[……Kaito-san, Kaito-san! Please take a look at the list of the next racers…… And, please randomly point to any of the racers . ]

[……………… . ]

[These ones, right!? Alrighty! “Gamble Alice-chan Clone” 23, 24, 26! On these racers, all-in——- Gyaaann!?]

[Restrain yourself for a bit, will you……]

I retract my previous statement . Is this woman seriously one of the Six Kings…… Or rather, is it really okay for an idiot like her to be one of the Six Kings? Also, where the heck is Clone 25!?

[……Umm, Vier? Seeing No Face-sama like this…… Would we be killed later?]

[I- I think we would be alright? After all, I don’t think Shalltear-sama cares about our lives……]

[……Ahh, by the way, if you go around telling people what you saw here…… I’ll beat you up, you know?]

[ [ Hyiiiihhhhh!? ] ]

Dr . Vier and Neun-san were sneakily whispering about, but before they knew it, Alice had moved in front of them and coldly announced .

And then, the two of them clearly looked afraid…… This is that, right? …… She’s trying to guide them to do something, as if she’s training someone to do her will .

[……Eh? Wait, Kaito-san? Ah, no way~~ I- I’m just joking, okay? It’s Alice-chan’s joked, you know!? A- Ahaha, completely fooled ya…… that didn’t work, right?]

[……It didn’t . ]

[……Whoa there! Come to think of it, Alice-chan was quite busy preparing for tomorrow’s Six Kings Festival!!! This won’t do! I need to go n———- Gueehhh!?]

[……Hey, how about…… we talk over there for a bit?]

[O- Of course, I will always prioritize Kaito-san, so we can talk as much as we want but…… i- is it just my imagination? I kind of feel like I’ve heard some extremely dangerous inner thoughts, “You’re fooling around too much, so let me beat down your character a bit or two” or something like that, you know?]

[…………………]

[Waaaaa…… That smile’s freaking scary……]

Smiling back at Alice, who was telling me such things while profusely sweating, I caught her by the scruff of her neck and dragged her to the corner of the room .

However, hmmm, I wonder what I should do? It’s already decided that I would scold her, but I don’t think that would be enough to teach her a lesson…… Ahh, that’s right .

As I suddenly thought of an idea, I called out to the black necklace on my chest .

[Kuro, can you help me scold Alice here?]

[Wait!? Why did you suddenly call her!? You’re a demon! A devil!]

[Of course, I’m fine with it . ]

[Gyaaaahhh!? Kuro-san!?]

……Well, Kuro appeared as if it’s natural for her to hear what I said through the necklace, but let’s just stop worrying about such things . However, arehh? Doesn’t it seem like…… Kuro’s angry? Black smoke was coming out of her body, you know……

[……By the way, Shalltear? Did I just hear you say “you’re going to beat up my family”?]

[N- No, it’s just a joke, I tell you…… I’m seriously serious here! I swear to God! Stop, stop…… Please stop clenching that fist . Being punched by Kuro is a real life-threatening situation…… wait! Why the heck is that black vortex behind you, Kuro-san!?]

[……………… . . ]

[……Ahh, K- Kuro-san! You look more beautiful than usual today huh! However, Kuro-san doesn’t look good with an angry face, you know? I like you more with a smile~~]

[……………… . . ]

[……Ummm…… errrr…… I’m sorry . ]

[Hmph!]

[GYYAAAAAAAHHHHH!?]

Dear Mom, Dad————— Well, I guess Kuro knows that what Alice said was just a joke . After all, she held back in her punch just now…… right? She did hold back in her punch…… right? It would be great…… if she held back . Well————– It’s Alice after all, so she should be alright .

Serious-senpai ZERO : [……It’s not that you’re just feeling it, Alice did indeed appear on every single day of the Six Kings Festival…… Just her appearance turns the situation into a gag . She’s seriously my natural enemy…… Unnn?]

Serious-senpai ZERO : [Fuaaahhhh!?]
