Chapter 261 Do you want cola? Then get some by yourself!
INSIDE THE ARENA.
"Did those little Guides think that they could evade Kuro’s observations? How petty of them to think of it that way! Tsk, now Kuro wants to spank them all!"
The one who uttered these words was Kuro the black fairy, whose wings were fluttering behind her quickly, as if her wings were busy showing the irritation that she is feeling right now.
Her dignified first-person way of talking was gone, as what could be heard right now was Kuro speaking in terms of third person.
It sounded somewhat bizarre, but also slightly endearing.
This endearing sensation however disappeared with what happened with Kuro next.
"Those three... Kuro personally taught them on how to be good Guides, and yet this is how they repay Kuro? They just straight up hid and refused to see Kuro? Hah! What a bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
If anyone can see Kuro right now, they will surely take a few steps back, as she was currently exuding a murderous aura.
It did not even help matters that black slime started to ooze out of her body, creating an eerie sight that was enough to make anyone scared.
"Rumble..."
The whole arena then started to shudder, with its walls and windows starting to show some signs of damage.
Even the sturdy looking doors at the arena showed some cracks too, which made the whole situation look worse.
Kuro, who was the center of it all, suddenly snapped her head back, as if she had realized what was happening.
"Kuro, calm down, just calm down...." Kuro muttered to herself as she willed her body to absorb back the slime that she just let out. "Those little Guides will have to face Kuro later, so Kuro can just punish them later!"
Kuro then smiled widely and nodded to herself, looking somewhat impressed with her own personal pep talk.
"Hmph, Asteria, Teofilo and Celeste. Once Kuro catches you later, Kuro will surely punish you a lot!"
After saying these encouraging words to herself, Kuro continued nodding as she flew forward.
She only stopped flying when she arrived in front of a wide rectangular glass screen.
"..."
This glass screen was no ordinary glass screen, as moving images can be seen on its surface, which can be compared to the televisions that Alex had in his world.
Right now, this glass screen was divided in four quadrants, with each quadrant displaying a different scene.
Kuro, whose eyes were now trained on these quadrants, only let out knowing nods as she watched the events relayed in the glass.
"Oh, so Traveler Alex and his allies managed to scare that Adjudicator from the Holy Order Plane? Hmm, Kuro is impressed..." Kuro muttered as she stared at the first quadrant, which depicted the evens at the Blue Moon. "Oh, and he wants to fight already? Kuro disapproves of that move, but what can Kuro do? Of course nothing!"
After saying these ominous words, Kuro’s eyes then flitted towards the second quadrant, which depicts the events at Red Moon.
"Hoho, so Traveler Minerva is scolding the Adjudicator because she did not fight Alex? Hehehe, what a stupid woman. Traveler Minerva should have known about the special relationship between the Abyss and the Holy Order... Sigh, Kuro is also disappointed with her..."
Kuro then looked at the third quadrant, which depicts the events at the Red Moon.
"As expected, it’s empty. Why did Kuro even expect to see something exciting here..."
With the Red Moon offering her a disappointing view, Kuro then turned her attention on the fourth and final quadrant, which shows the events happening at the Green Moon.
"Hoh~" This time, Kuro’s interests spiked up as what she saw seemed to have riled her interest.
"So Traveler Ray is about to interview Peína for information about this whole thing? Heh, let’s see on how we will react to Peína’s answers..."
After saying these words, Kuro waved her hands in the air as she summoned an ice-cold cola.
She immediately started drinking it as she sat back on her chair, with her left hand cradling a popcorn box.
Kuro knew that she was about to watch a good show now, and she would obviously do her best to watch it properly, just like a movie.
"Kuro, activate Script Mode."
"..."
**************
(THIS IS HOW THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION WENT UNDER KURO’S POV)
[Kuro]: Go, start talking now! Kuro wants to hear you talking!
[Ray]: So Peína, tell me, who are you really?
[Peína]: Milord, just like what I told you before, I am a Divine Being that was born at the Extreme Chaos Plane. Because my special abilities, I was able to survive the harsh conditions at that place, and I have a potential to be a powerhouse at that plane. But then-
[Ray]: But then you were captured by this really strong guy and then you were imprisoned here, bla, bla, bla. Yeah, yeah, I already know about that part.
[Peína]: Then Milord, there should be no problem at all.
[Ray]: That would be the case, except for one tiny thing.
[Peína]: And what is that, Milord?
[Ray]: You seem to have no idea on what you should do here at this place. You just knew that you were imprisoned here, and that a part of your powers were taken away. But aside from that? You have no idea on what’s going on. If it were not for us appearing here, then maybe you will stay stuck here all alone!
[Peína]: Milord, I can understand the point that you are trying to make. But are you sure that you want to continue talking about this? From what I can see, we are going on a dead end here.
[Ray]: Have you ever heard about the Endless Monarch?
[Peína]: ....
[Ray]: You did not say anything just now.
[Peína]: My tongue got stuck, Milord.
[Vera]: I can hear the lies in your voice, prisoner!
[Peína]: ...
[Ray]: So, you have an idea on who the Endless Monarch was. Care to tell me more about him?
[Peína]: ....
[Ray]: Why don’t you want to talk? Did the cat get your tongue?
[Peína]: ...
[Ray]: Speak up, you dumbwit!
[Kuro]: Idiot, that Peína won’t tell you anything at all. His lips are sealed. Just like Kuro’s...
[Vera]: Ray, I think there is something that is preventing Peína from speaking about the Endless Monarch. I think he will be forced to stay silent if he tries to speak about the Endless Monarch directly.
[Ray]: Well, well, well, now ain’t that just great?
[Peína]: I’m sorry Milord, but I cannot really speak anything all about h-
[Ray]: Well in that case, let me try something that can bypass that thing that is silencing you.
[Vera]: You can do that?
[Kuro]: Traveler Ray can do that?
[Ray]: Peína, do you like pineapple on a pizza?
[Peína]: Milord, I don’t understand what you are talking about, but I felt some kind of anger when I heard your question. Milord, you must have been talking about a deplorable thing.
[Ray]: Indeed, pineapple on a pizza is an abomination.
[Peína]: I shall take that in my mind, Milord!
[Vera]: ...
[Kuro]: But pineapple does go with the pizza...
[Ray]: Okay then, Peína, do you like the color Yellow?
[Peína]: Hell no! That color sucks!
[Ray]: I see, I see...
[Vera]: Ray, what is the sense of this? I can’t see any-
[Ray]: Now then Peína, who was the person brought you here?
[Peína]: ...
[Vera]: Oh, now I see where you are going with this.
[Kuro]: Tsk, that’s just simple deduction! This Vera seems like a thickheaded martial artist!
[Ray]: Since you can’t answer that question, then it just means that the Endless Monarch, or someone related to him was the one who brought you here. Am I right about that?
[Peína]: ....
[Ray]: Black-blue or white-gold?
[Peína]: Black-blue?
[Ray]: And there we have it. Peína’s capture here is definitely related to the Endless Monarch. Now we just have to see how related they really are.
[Kuro]: Idiot! Do you really think that Kuro’s boss, the Endless Monarch, will just personally attack that prisoner? Kuro’s boss does not have to do that! Of course it will be his stronger servants that does this ’pick-up’ stuff! Hmm... who was the one who brought these 4 people here again? Ugh, Kuro can’t remember anything! Well, Kuro still applauds you for reaching this far!
[Vera]: Ray, should we really do this? What if we somehow manage to piss the Endless Monarch off? Do you remember what happened in our last world? One of our opponent teams died because they had thoroughly offended him!
[Ray]: Don’t worry, as long as we do this respectfully, we will have no problems at all.
[Vera]: But-
[Ray]: Okay Peína, if I spanked you really hard right now, what would your reaction be?
[Peína]: I will cry out in pain Milord.
[Kuro]: Oh for god’s sake, now this just turned to the worse...
[Vera]: ...
***********
With the success of Ray’s interrogation on Peína, Kuro knew that it will be only a matter of time before Ray could make a general sense of the whole situation.
Since it was like that, there was no need for Kuro to watch anymore Ray anymore as she already knew what would happen next.
So she brought back her attention to the events on the Yellow Moon, with her eyes glued on Alex’s whole body.
"If Traveler Alex were in his normal state, Kuro’s sure that he could have discovered about the Endless Monarch’s deeds earlier than Traveler Ray. It’s too bad that Traveler Alex is like this already..." Kuro muttered to herself as she shook her head in disappointment.
"Sigh, Kuro has high hopes for Traveler Alex, but with the way that he is right now, he and his allies are all doomed. He wants to leave right now and attack? How could he even do that?"
Kuro then shook her head again as she let out a sigh.
"The healthy and normal Traveler Alex surely will not be this impulsive... But with the appearance of that ’Thing’, Traveler Alex’s mind has been slowly eroding now. Sigh, what a disappointment... Well, if this doesn’t get remedied early, Kuro fears that his team will be the first one to be annihilated here..."
After saying these words, Kuro’s eyes flitted toward Alina, Queen Mother, Professor Frances, and Astria, who were all looking at Alex worriedly right now.
"Female hoomans, if you don’t want to die later, make a move right now! Stop this before it’s too late! If not, you will be all- burp! Oh, my Kuro’s cola is already finished? Hmm... maybe I can drink a little more..."
With Kuro’s attention diverted to her cola, she immediately forgot what she was doing now, as she re-immersed herself on the blissful sensation of cola.
"Hah! This really tastes good! Umm... maybe Kuro can drink a little more. Wait, what is Kuro doing again? Ah nevermind, Kuro will just drink more cola!"
