The Chronicles Of Zero

Chapter 51 - 46: Excalibur Arc begin: I'm a passing Kamen Rider remember that

// Yoba training room #3 //

I'm doing a vlog on how to "Learn to DJ for beginners" when all of a sudden my phone starts ringing

Zero: Hai~ this is Zero.

Sona: Zero we have been visited by envoys from the church, as you predicted they carry holy swords with them and have asked to meet Rias tomorrow at the ORC but...

Zero (thought): There is always a but

Zero: But…?

Sona: They are accompanied by members of the Hero Village.

Zero (thought): Oh ?! interesting, I wonder who these old farts sent.

Zero: It doesn't matter if they're here or not, Operation "Kuoh Return" is still on. As planned, be there at the meeting and try not to get more involved than necessary and let Rias think she's in control of the situation.

Sona: What about tomorrow?

Zero: While I don't want to confront the church and these heroes, as a Kuoh Observer I should be there no matter what.

Sona: You know you could let us handle this whole thing

Zero: Indeed I could because I know you won't fail, the fact that the Hero Village is sending people is bothering me a bit and what kind of husband would I be if I let my wife do all the work.

Sona: Smooth talker, oh and your recent exploits are doing the rounds of the school, I can't pass by the halls without hearing a girl talking about you.

Sona: Everyone was amazed as usual. Illya, Kuro, Miyu, Joule, Lumen, Roro and Ingvild lock themselves in the music room when they have free time.

Zero: I can't wait to see what comes out of this, I have to go to class so I'll see you tomorrow at the ORC.

Sona: Okay, I love you Zero

Zero: You too Sona, tell Tsubaki that I love her too.

I cut the call and my eyes turn serious then pull out a Lancer Servant Card

Zero: It's time to put the history of this world in order, don't you think Artoria .

The card shines to reveal Artoria Lancer, the Lion King, the one who carries the Sacred Spear Rhongomyniad instead of the victory sword Excalibur, one of my Servants but also mentors.

Artoria: I think so too, Zero, just hearing the story of Excalibur from this world makes me very unhappy.

Zero: I guess we're on the same page.

Zero: I won't promise you anything, because I'll need these toys for a little experiment.

// The next day, after school //

I'm in my DJ training room finishing the last part of my vlog with Yui my Biju in her human form enjoying her daddy's work when my watch starts ringing telling me it's time.

Zero: Yui, it's time

Yui: Hey, I want to listen to dad's music again.

Zero: When I finish what I have to do.

Yui: Bubu

I grab my bag and take Yui in my arms and head towards the door of the room. When I touch the handle and open the door, the door opens up to the inside of the ORC.

Everyone inside the club seemed surprised at my sudden appearance. All of a sudden having a different hairstyle, wearing a different uniform and carrying a little girl in my arms.

???: Look who's just arrived

I look at the origin of the voice to see a man, then I've flashback

Zero: Shiba

Shiba: Akatsuki

Then I look at Sona

Zero: I hope I'm not keeping you waiting.

Sona: Punctual as usual.

???: Shiba-sama, who is this person?

A girl in a white dress with blue hair asks me, it's Xenovia Quarta, next to her is Irina Shidou. Next to them are the members of the heroes' village are Toujou Basara, Yuki Nonaka and her sister Kurumi and Shiba Kyouichi.

Shiba: An old acquaintance of ours, that's all I'll say.

Yui: Dad who's this guy he's creepy as fuċk with his eyes and smile

Rias, Akeno, Issei, Irina, Xenovia, Basara, Yuki, Kurumi: Dad?

Zero: Like he says, a very old friend and be polite with our guests even if what you said is true.

Yui: Haiiiii~

Shiba: Don't give a bad image of me to your child, will you?

Zero: It's not my fault, truth comes from kids' mouths.

Xenovia: Well if you're an acquaintance of Shiba-sama it's ok, my name is Xenovia Quarta and I am from the Catholic Church.

Zero: I am Zero Muramasa Akatsuki, heir of the Akatsuki clan. I am the observer of this city for the Shinto and Yokai faction and this is my daughter Yui. Yui greets our guests.

Yui : My name is Yui R. Akatsuki, nice to meet you

Hero except for Shiba: Nice to meet you, too.

Zero: It's been a long time, Toujou Basara of the hero clan, how are you and your father doing since last time?

Basara: Fine, I'm glad to see you're doing well too.

Rias: I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion but I think we should get back to our conversation.

Zero: You're right, well I'm only here to do my duty as an observer, since these people ask to meet with you, you're handling this situation and all, I'm not going to interfere as long as it doesn't break the terms of the contract.

I say as I sit down on one of the couches with Yui on my knee eating popcorn

Issei: Did you have to bring the chipmunks with you

Yui: At least I'm more powerful than you.

Issei: …

Zero: Huh, the burn

But just hearing Irina and Xenovia present their imitations and praise them as if they were the original make the copy in my Unlimited Blade Works vibrate with rage, the original in my Gate of Babylon wants to come out to destroy the present fragments.

I can feel Arthur's Persona smoke with rage in some part of my consciousness. Even three of my Servant cards vibrate with frenzy, the servants inside wanting to come out to make a massacre.

Of course, I'm trying to repress these guys or there'll be a bloodbath, but I'm also holding back from doing something that might screw up my plan too.

Rias: And do you know who is the perpetrator of these attacks?

Irina : A Cadre fallen angel named Kokabiel

Yui (telepathy): Daddy, who is this Kokabiel?

Zero (telepathy): Kokabiel also known as the angel of the stars because he could see things in the stars that his brother angel the watcher could not, and he is one of the many angels that fell with the old man Azazel and Baraqiel. During the great war, he was one of the survivors and one of the many who was unhappy with the turn of the war as the fallen angels withdrew from the fight.

Yui (telepathically): Hey, so I guess he stole those swords and brought them here to devil territory to create a new war because Sona-mama and the other one are here and also the church would send people to get them back

Zero (telepathy): Umu, I have done well with your education

I pet her head

Xenovia: That's why we want you not to interfere in this matter.

Rias: Don't worry we won't interfere, and we won't ȧssociate with the fallen angels.

Xenovia: Well, I guess a Maou's sister you wouldn't be so foolish to think of doing that.

Rias: Although you tell me that, could you do it with just the six of you? I mean it's a Cadre class Fallen Angel and he must have strong allies to pull something like that.

Basara: You don't need to worry, we're the hero clan, we're specially trained for this kind of situation.

Zero: Especially since they have Shiba with them who is known as the number 2 in the hero clan after Jin Toujou, Basara's father who is said to be on the level of a Maou like Lucifer.

Sona: You seem to have a history with this Shiba.

Sona asked me

Zero: In the past, he was my trainer when I was at the hero village, he tried to kill me several times so I broke his arms every time he tried, leaving my legs almost broken every time too. If I had to define our relationship it would be if he kills me first or I survive during my stay

Tsubaki: ...I'm surprised you haven't opened up the hostilities against him for revenge since earlier.

Zero: Oh but we did since we started this conversation, over 200 strategies to take down each other have gone through our heads and each one has ended in a draw with no one having the advantage. Well in the limit, we don't kill everyone here and destruct all the town in the process.

The members of the church, the heroes clan and the devils present look at us strangely

Basara: That's why you were going to the infirmary almost all the time he was present near you.

Shiba: I have to admit you've grown a lot since I last saw you Akatsuki, I can't wait for the moment when your heart is in my hands.

Zero: Keep dreaming, Shiba.

Knock knock

Rias: Yes?

The door opens and Bronya and Mei enter.

Rias: Zaichik and Raiden?

Bronya: Excuse me, it is Zero-nii-sama here.

Zero: What's up Bronya-chan? Mei?

Bronya: Akatsuki-sensei told me to give you these documents as soon as possible since Sona-onee-sama said you would be here.

Zero: Thank you.

I took the file from her hands and pet her head as a reward.

Bronya: We'll go then.

Zero: No need, you can stay here.

Bronya/ Mei: Understood your Excellency.

Xenovia: Who are these people?

Zero: My subordinates, you don't need to be preoccupied with them.

Rias: Since when?

Zero: Since I came back from the underworld, the supernatural in this city exponentially rose and Sona could not look into all of it. So I decided to add new members.

Rias: I see.

Xenovia: We have said what we have to say, we will take our leave.

Zero: Before you leave I have some information for you.

Basara: Information?

Zero: My network has reported that many priests have been killed here recently. I guess you know about that already.

Yuki: We heard about it and were going to investigate, and?

Zero: I know who is responsible for these murders, it's Freed Seelzen, an excommunicated exorcist, and there's a good chance he's carrying one or two of these pieces of junk with him.

My remark does not seem to be appreciated by the two members of the church.

Xenovia: What did you just say?

Zero: Did I stutter?

Irina: Take back what you just said about the great holy sword.

Zero: Why should I comply with your request? I do what I please and if I want to call your so-called fragments of holy sword a piece of junk, that's my right. I mean I'm a blacksmith I can see when a sword is a good sword or not

Xenovia: Blasphemy

Zero: I should be the one to tell you that. How dare give the name of the most powerful of the sacred swords, representing the crystallization of the hope of humanity, to a sword given by the big guy above and that was broken after a simple war and then rebuilt through alchemy in several pieces, I call that blasphemy. I would never acknowledge that these so-called sacred sword fragments have the holy name of Excalibur.

My little outburst surprised Rias and her peers.

Irina: You risk having the whole church at your back for words like that.

A smile appears on my face.

Zero: Bring it on, I'm always up for a challenge

Xenovia is about to attack me when a blade appears in front of her throat

Mei: Move a single millimetre, speak a bad word towards our Overseer and I will slit your throat open.

Mei says with her katana Domaine of Sanction ready for action

Kurumi: When did she get here?

Yuki: Strong and fast

Irina: Xenovia

Irina is about to help Xenovia but a giant cannon appears in front of her

Bronya: Nii-sama, Bronya asks permission to abdicate the target

Basara: Hey, Zero?!

Zero: It's okay girls, I think the message got through

Mei: Got it

I get up from my seat and take Yui in my arms

Zero: Well, since everything has been said, I will excuse myself and go to work. Sona if anything happens don't forget to call me and Sera-nee.

Sona: You don't need to remind me.

Xenovia: Wait

Zero: What's up Quarta?

Xenovia: I challenge you to a duel

Irina: Xenovia?

Basara: Hey, Quarta I advise you to rethink this, you can't win against him.

Xenovia: I can win, I can't forgive him after he dared to insult one of the church's relics.

Mei: You...

Zero: *Light laugh*

Everyone turns to me to see a smile appear slightly on my lips

Zero: Hey since you want to fight me so badly I'll grant your wish but a simple duel isn't interesting so let's bet if you win me and my group will join the church...

Irina: Are you serious?

Zero: I'm known to always keep my promises.

Xenovia: But what if you win?

Zero: Whether or not you succeed in your mission the fragments will remain in my possession.

Xenovia: What?

Zero: So what do you decide?

Irina: How dare you.

Zero: This is reality kid, the world is uglier than you think.

Xenovia: ...I accept

Sona: That girl...

Koneko: ...is an idiot...

Kiba: Then allow me to participate

Kiba says lying against the door of the room

Xenovia: And you are...

Kiba: Your elder and superior

// Behind the old school //

Kiba is against Irina and me against Xenovia

Akeno: Rias, are you sure it's a good idea to let them fight?

Rias: It's just a practice match, small scratches here and there won't hurt. As long as the superiors don't know about it, it won't start any war.

Basara: While I'm against this, I can't wait to see Zero's abilities.

Yuki: Hmm, me too.

Kurumi: I have to say that Zero-nii has changed a lot. I've never seen him act like this before.

Shiba: This is proof that he's seen the true face of the world around him.

Yuki: What do you mean Shiba-san

Shiba: He has seen hell on earth and I'm surprised that he has retained some of his sanity, some would have lost their heads since then.

Xenovia: Aren't you pulling out your weapon?

Zero: Restia

A magic circle appears in front of me and Restia appears in front of me with her black wings spread out, which surprises everyone except Sona and Tsubaki

Rias: Fallen angel?

Restia: What took you so long to call me, I waited for you to call me for a long time my master.

Akeno: My master?

Zero: It's just that the vermin I face doesn't deserve to be exterminated by your blade that's all

Xenovia: A fallen, you're working with Kokabiel?

Zero: …

I only smile at her without response to her question

Yuki: A fallen ? no, that girl energy is like...

Kurumi: Spirit energy and she seems to be a high level one to boot, she's a Divine Spirit.

Rias: A Divine Spirit?!

Akeno looks at Sona and Tsubaki no surprise at all

Akeno: You don't look surprised? Did you know about her?

Tsubaki: Indeed we know her very well.

Rias: Can you tell us who she is, she gives me the same impression as his other spirit Est.

Sona: Although I want to answer your question Rias, it's not like me to divulge secret information like that, especially from our family.

Zero: Restia, Elemental Waffe, Vorpal Sword. Spirit fusion [Prince of Darkness].

Restia and I are surrounded by darkness to reveal only me with a black double-edged sword with a blood-red outline in my hand. My eyes' colours become a mix of blue and green, my hair becomes a mix of black and red and I emanate dark energy around me.

My school uniform changed for a battle outfit with protection.

Basara : His apparence change?!

Yui: Are both sides ready? Fight!!!

Yui starts the fight

Xenovia runs at me with her metal piece of destruction, she seems to move fast but to me, she moves slowly.

I take Restia in both hands and raise her above me and close my eyes and synchronize with Restia's spiritual energy, entering a state of one-bladed mind

Zero: Darkness Prince Style: Darkness Slash

I execute a simple sword movement, the space twists creating a simple black and red arc heading straight for Xenovia.

Xenovia (thought): Weak

Zero (thought): Amateur

Xenovia tries to block the incoming attack with her sword but it goes through her guard not even taking into account the attempted defence.

Xenovia: Kyaaaaaah

Xenovia is sliced by the shockwave leaving a bleeding wound on her.

Irina: Xenovia...

Kiba: What the...?

Basara: Heh, this is supposed to be a training match, no need to hurt her like that.

Zero: An injury, what injury?

Kurumi: What injury, the injury... that she...

Everyone looks on in amazement as Xenovia has no injuries but is in pain.

Xenovia: What...did...you...do to me?

Zero: Darkness Slash, is a technique of my creation based on sword intent, Darkness and illusions. In short, it is an attack that mixes physical and mental attacks that aim at the target's mind.

Basara: From the beginning what we saw was an illusion?

Yuki: No, it's much deeper than that look at the sword of Xenovia-san

Shiba: A single sword strike managed to crack a part of Excalibur Destruction, Akatsuki reached a level of fencing I've never seen, interesting.

Zero: So want to continue

Xenovia: Sure.

She raises her sword and thrusts it into the ground, creating a shockwave that shoots out at me. I clench my fist and take a breath.

Zero(thought): Total concentration: Darkness Breath

Red and Black arcs of electricity come out of my eyes and I feel the force in my arm as I slam it into the ground creating a shockwave similar to Xenovia that cancels out when they collide.

Xenovia: ...

I take Volpal Blade in quick draw position still in Total Concentration, charging up with electricity, Restia's spirit appears floating behind me taking me in her arms

Zero: It's over.

Zero/ Restia: Black thunder that incinerates even souls to nothingness -- Hell Blast!

Xenovia took the attack head-on, not having time to understand what had just happened.

Xenovia: Aaaaaah !!!!.

The latter screamed in pain before fainting on the ground. Restia and I return to our normal form

Zero: Next time don't try to fight someone stronger than you, because next time you won't be alive.

Yui : Winner, Zero Akatsuki.

I leave the fight scene walking towards the school gate followed by Bronya and Mei, Yui and Restia return to my world to rest.

Yuki: Wait

Yuki and Kurumi come in right behind me without Shiba and Basara

Zero: Girls go back without me.

Mei: Got it, take care of yourself.

Mei gives me a quick kiss on the lip

Bronya : Bronya request Nii-sama to play with her next time

Zero: Understood

I kiss Bronya on the forehead and then they go back to the new Saint Freya's dorm.

Zero: What can I do for you Yuki, Kurumi?

Without saying anything both girls run into my arms.

Yui: I'm glad to see you again

Kurumi: We were really worried, we didn't hear any words from you and you never came to the other training camps.

Zero: Sorry, I keep moving around here and there with my dad or by myself, making new friends.

Yuki: What did the Sitri girl mean by being your future wife? and that Yui girl is she really your daughter?

Kurumi: And those two girls the affection you give them is not that of a superior and his subordinates.

Zero: Oh because they are my Women that's why. Jealous?

Kurumi: Who's jealous, you idiot.

Yuki: A little, so that means you dating more than one girl?

Zero: In short, that's it.

Kurumi: Who wants to go out with someone like you

I teleport us to an ID where time has stopped, similar to the academy where we are without them knowing it.

Zero: This is not good Kurumi-chan, you have to be honest with yourself.

I say to her while touching her buŧŧȯċks with one of my hands using God Hand (Max) and releasing my pheromones around me maximizing the effect of my action

Kurumi: Aaaaah~

Yuki: Kurumi?! Zero what are you doing to her

Zero: I'm only making Kurumii-chan honest about her feelings towards me, but I'm not forgetting you Yuki-chan

I kiss Yuki on her lips which takes her by surprise, having no resistance against the pŀėȧsurė she feels and could only ask for more of that feeling.

I separate myself from Yuki who seems to want more affection

Zero: Tell me Yuki, Kurumi if you had to choose between me and Basara who would you choose?

Kurumi: Why...are you asking us this...hmm~

Yuki: I prefer Zero to Basara

Kurumi: Onee ?!

Yuki: I feel comfortable and protected when I'm around Zero, and seeing his interaction with those two girls earlier makes me a little envious.

Zero: Yuki, don't worry no matter how many girls are around me you will always have a spot in my heart.

Yuki: Really, I'm happy

Seeing her big sister gaining all the attention get a little upset

Kurumi: Zero..nii~

Zero: hum?

Kurumi: Kurumi want a kiss~

Kurumi act all cute and affectionate flip my switch making me kiss her on the mouth, for a while before I separated from her.

Yuki make a sad face

Zero: What up in your mind Yuki, making a face like that.

Yuki: I feel a little sorry about Basara but I want to be with you.

Zero: You shouldn't, we're all childhood friends, Basara and I had the same position in your hearts, it's just that I was quicker to claim Kurumi and you as my own if Basara had done it before, I wouldn't make a move on you.

Kurumi: Why is it that when that sentence comes out of your mouth it sounds so convincing

Zero: Who knows?

I hold them close to me

Zero: Be very careful with Kokabiel. He is not an enemy to be taken lightly, if you can finish him off while he is not serious about fighting, take him down.

Yuki: Understood

Kurumi: Aren't you going to help us?

Zero: If I could I would without hesitation but I can't I have my own agenda but I can give you something to help you without being here.

I make a sword and gauntlet appear.

Zero: For Yuki this katana I named Yuki Shigiri a blade forged from a divine metal and blessed by the snow spirits, completely tailored for you. For Kurumi, this gauntlet doesn't have a name yet but allows a better connection and interaction with the elemental spirits.

Kurumi: We can't accept this.

Zero: Think of it as presents for all birthdays that I missed.

Yuki: Thank you.

Zero: No need to thank me, here my card if you need anything call this number

I tell them while giving them my Devil May Cry card.

Zero: On those, until next time.

I snap my fingers and the girls are teleported out directly from the ID into the real world.

Zero: I did it again.

I say while holding my head

Zero: I let my ŀust get the best of me again. What am I going to do, even though I've already resigned myself to being a scumbag dating many girls? *sigh*

I open a portal that takes me directly to an alley in Tokyo when all of a sudden I hear screaming.

Zero: Well my luck

I run towards the place where I hear the scream to see Yu, Ayumu and other girls being attacked by Shocker Combatmen.

Zero: Shocker ?! now it makes sense, but I've had to rescue them before

I run to the nearest group and jump up and down and shout

Zero: Re-Taekwondo Zero Original: Wind Dragon Kick

Air builds up as I kick at the bad guys with my right leg, creating a wind dragon that rushes towards them at full speed.

Shocker Combatmen 1: Kiii?

One of the combatmen looks over to see a large wind dragon charging at them with its mouth wide open.

Shocker Combatmen: Kiiiii?!

The latter starts screaming in panic alerting his companions around who also see the dragon which gives them a big scare before they all get swallowed by the dragon

K/N: Who dares to stand up to Shocker?

One of the Kaiju who seems to be the leader says

Zero: That would be me

Everyone turns to me as I land between the girls and the Shocker members

???: Who is it?

Zero: You're okay Yu-chan, Ayu-chan

Yu/ Ayumu: Ro-nii-chan / Zero-san

???: Huh!? You never told us you had such a cool brother, Yu-san?

Ayumu: He's not, he's more of a big brother model than a real brother to Yu-chan.

???: I see.

???: But he's going to put himself in danger if he's going to face those bad guys

Yu: You don't have to worry about him Rina, Ro-nii-chan is really strong.

???: Oh I see, so you're the Rider who gets in the way of all our plans. Me K/N will make you regret going on our road.

Zero: And I guess you're the ones responsible for all the Kaiju I've come across in the last year or so. Do you know that you have wasted more than half of my days off last year?

K/N: As if it matters to us. Shin Dai-Shocker will rule all dimensions this time.

Zero: And here I thought you would have learned your lesson after Kadoya-senpai and the other riders beat you, but if it comes down to it, I will be your opponent.

K/N: Huh, and who do you think you are?

Zero: Just a passing Kamen rider

I take out the Decade Ridewatch activating it

Decade Ridewatch: D-D-Decade

And the Neo-Decadriver appears at my waist, I open the Rider Booker attached to the side and take out the Decade Rider Card

Zero: Remember on. Henshin

I insert the card into the Neo-Decadriver

Neo-Decadriver: Kamen Ride

Then close it

Neo-Decadriver: Decade

And here I am transformed into a Kamen Rider Decade

???: He transformed himself?

???: A real hero transformation.

Yu: Wow

Woz: IWAE! He is the one who carries the power of the world-destroyer who cross-dimension after dimension to give his judgment on the world, his name is Kamen Rider Decade. Let see if you going to be destroyed or not.

???: Wow, where did this guy come from, he suddenly appears. Kasumin is a bit shocked.

K/N: I don't know how you can use Decade's power but whatever. Catch him, my minions

Shocker Combatmen: Kiiiiii

Zero: Woz the safety of these girls is in your hands

Woz: Of course, Waga Maou.

I take the Rider Booker which turns into a sword.

I avoid all the Shocker Combatmen's blows while counter-attacking when possible with the sword.

Decade: What's the matter, is that all you can do?

I provoke them by putting my sword on my shoulder

Shocker Combatmen: Kiiiiiii

The combatmen angry to be underestimated run at me in anger

Decade: It works every time

I say as I pull out a Card with Slash marked on it and insert it into my Decadriver

Decadriver: Attack Ride: Slash

My sword surrounds itself with yellow energy then I slash each combatmen one after the other then they explode

K/N: I have to admit that you're doing pretty well for someone who uses the power of Decade but it stops here.

The Kaiju throws fireballs at me which I take full damage to, rolling me to the ground.

Decade: That remains to be seen. Let rise the beats a notch.

I take out W's Rider Card and insert it in the Decadriver

Decadriver: Kamen Ride: Double (Technical guitar to orchestral hit)

I turn into Kamen Rider W then take out another Ride Card from W and the insert.

Decadriver: Form ride: Double! FangJoker! (Heavy metal guitar riffs to orchestral hit)

I feel the power of Fang Joker running through my body, I strike a pose giving a primitive look by putting my hands in a claw shape.

Decade(W): Now, Conte me your sin.

K/N throws another flurry of fireballs at me, but this time I cut them off using the blade on each of my wrists, the latter creating shockwaves as I swing my arms

I move closer to the Kaiju and kick it, at which point the blades on my wrists are transported to my ankles creating a sharp kick.

The Kaiju tries to punch me but I jump in the air and then do a series of kicks to its face

Kaiju: Guaaaa

Decade(w) : Let's finish it

I take out the Final Attack Card from W.

Decadriver: Final Attack Ride: W

The blade on my ankle is getting wider and wider

I jump in the air and execute a scissor kick

Decade(W): Fang Strizer

The kaiju takes the Ride Kick in the face without being able to do anything and I land right behind him

Decade(w) : Case over.

K/N: Shin Dai-Shocker forever.

The Kaiju explodes leaving nothing behind

Decade(W): I could get used to the power of Decade

I open the driver and pull out the card inside which returns me to my civilian form. I look around to see the damage done.

Then I snap my fingers and everything that was destroyed returns to its normal state by reversing time as if nothing had happened here

Woz: Waga maou

Zero: Oh Woz, good job protecting them.

Woz: Your words go straight to my heart my king, but I must admit for your first use of the power of Decade and W you did well, but I look forward to seeing your greatness one day.

Zero: I know, next time I will use the power of Zi-O

Woz, I'll hold you to your word, your majesty, I must retire for the moment, do you still need my services?

Zero: I can take care of the rest

Woz: With that

Woz uses his scarf to disappear to who knows where. I head towards Ayumu's group who seem to be still in shock from the attack.

Zero: Is everyone okay?

Yu: Everyone still seems to be shaken up by what just happened.

Zero(thought): I guess so. With Muse and Aquors I managed to put my fight with Disaster out of their minds with my story and my confession to keep them from thinking about it. But in this case, the girls were directly attacked, I don't think I could pull off a similar tactic.

[ Skill "Aurora Curtain" obtained ]

Zero: I have exactly what you need to make you forget that bad experience.

Ayumu: What do you mean?

I raise my hand and an "Aurora Curtain" appears in front of us, which surprises everyone

Shizuku: What's that?

Karin: It's so mysterious.

I walk beside the curtain

Zero: Follow me

And go through it

Kasumin: What are we doing Senpai ?

Yu: Ro-nii-chan is someone who can be trusted, let follow him.

Ayumu: Hm, let go.
