The only planet I know where good people are treated like idiots for trust or when they sacrifice themselves for their loved ones... the Earth.
Although they have a well-established and well-organized society, they waste it with their avarice and other unreasonable factors. There is justice only when it does not incriminate us, and when it is we who are at fault, this sa justice that is supposed to apply to us is reshaped in sothing else.
It's ironic and sad, but it's the reality. Being the only undisputed masters, they have every right to do so. This right, I think, is only an illusion in which I lived there too.
Sigh, I'm not even sure if I'm still awake in this illusion or not.
Anyway, I will know in the near or distant future. After all, I think I'm the worst person to talk about justice.
-Crack!!
"!?- Sigh, it's hopeless." Alice.
"Stop complaining about it." Alvine.
"Why do you want to cut your hair? It's such a ss."
"A ss? I grant it to you, but speaking from my POV. Apart from hindering my vision field and attracting more attention than I want, they have no other use. So try to make an effort; it's only hair, after all!"
Hearing Alvine's words and his impatience, Alice tried once again with the third scissor.
-Crack!
-?!
"Do you do it on purpose?" Alvine frowns when he sees the third scissor break like the first two.
"Huh?! No, it's just that--
"You have to be stupid not to understand what's wrong." Before Alice explained herself, Reha retorted these words as she leaned against the room wall while In Soon Min was sitting on the bed with the two flacons in front of her.
She was the only one who did not pay attention to others.
After her last question, and Alvine's direct answer, she did not try to convince him anymore.
And Alvine, who knew her intentions from the beginning, did not miss the opportunity to say what he had in mind before the misunderstanding went far.
After this event, as there were still about two hours and thirty minutes left before the start of the auction, In Soon Min houses Alvine and the others in her living apartnt while waiting for the auction to begin.
'... Is it , or has this girl recently beco more communicative?' Alvine murmured as he looked at Reha through the opposite mirror.
"And if you help with--
"No, I wouldn't do it." She retorted before Alvine finished her remarks.
'Sigh, I was wrong. As long as she maintains this coldness between us, I cannot yet ask her for this service.' He later sighed when he saw the sa coldness in Reha's eyes.
'...I have no choice but to call soone else. But who among my subordinates is talented in this field? Apart from Luna, who is currently on a mission, I don't see anyone else who--! Oh, that's right, I could surely call this girl who is as smart as Luna despite her interdiate shadow tier.' He murmured to himself after classifying his thoughts.
-Whrrrr...
Instantly, his shadow wobbles under the chair, followed by the sudden appearance of Stella, who has her two-ter bow on her back and two daggers on each of her thighs.
!?!
[My lord?]
Without paying attention to the indescribable expression of Alice and In Soon Min, who frown towards her, she kneels behind Alvine, waiting for the latter's orders.
"Is it an elf that only exists--
"No, I don't want to go through your strange conclusions, Inspectress Alice." Alvine stopped her before she finished her sentence.
Following these words, he focused on Stella.
"Make my old haircut." He ordered while giving her a scissor he had instantly created with his shadow.
"..."
But seeing her look at the scissor and his hair, Alvine then sighed.
'I guess I overestimated her a little. As expected, they are only good at--
"If you allow , I think your current cut is better than the old one." She gave her opinion after a brief reflection that Alvine seed to have misinterpreted.
"Hm? So that was the reason for your confusion. Don't worry, I don't like long hair, so if you have a better idea, I'll let you do it your way." He then ordered after his brief surprise.
'It's ti to see how different she is from the others. Even if I don't have confirmation, I noticed that my shadows each have their characters. So are smart, idiots, vicious, sinister, proud, or demonic.
-Just like Darka, who likes to fight in a chivalrous battle, Luna uses everything she has, including cunning, to end her opponent as much as possible. But Greed, sigh, I saw that this bastard likes to tornt his opponents and delight in their despair before killing them; it's a quality I appreciate about this idiot.' He whispered as he watched Stella nod her head.
"In this case, if you allow ...
As she humbly pronounced this half-finished sentence, her right hand suddenly lit up with a dark energy almost equal to that of Alvine; followed by a lightning movent that she made and that escaped in two earthlings' eyes.
All they saw was Alvine's hair falling off while Stella's hands looked like mirages around his head.
But despite seeing the ease with which Stella cut Alvine's hair, they were both fascinated by her chard appearance with her pointed ears and tanned skin of fanciful perfection.
'This woman looks like him as if she were his twin sister, but she just called him lord, right?' In Soon Min murmured in her thoughts, montarily forgetting her dilemma.
"Sigh, while I kill myself to erase my tracks, are you here taking pictures? Do you think it's a good thing, Inspectress Alice?" Retorted Alvine when he saw Alice's stealthy actions through the mirror.
"... I don't intend to share them; it's just for--
"Delete them."
"... Sigh, you would be a star in entertainnt." She murmured while sadly shrugging.
"..."
'I think she's getting a little too familiar with .' He retorted in his thoughts, no longer knowing if his decision was the right one or not.
"It's done, my lord." After thirty seconds, Stella finally stopped.
"-?! Stella, how did you know about the existence of this haircut?" He whispered while looking at the new hairstyle that Stella had just done on him.
"I was able to see so mories of my lord that took place on this planet, and as this hairstyle is also called the warriors' haircut, I, therefore, concluded that you deserve to have this cut more than anyone else." She explained herself with a triumphant smile on her lips.
"S-so...
'This cut has nothing to do with what it says; it's just a leftover cut. But I would never have thought she had such a taste; h, it doesn't matter; it's better than--
He suddenly stopped in his thoughts, noticing the sudden appearance of Ignotus and Ignis.
[My lord, if you allow , I have a better cut to bring out your nobility.] Ignis expressed himself loudly, followed by the room's temperature, which increased drastically.
[How dare you be here without having been invoked by the lord, Ignis?!]
[You are not qualified to do morals, Ignotus. You are with , after all!]
[... Finally, let's move on. Given your build, I already guess what kind of strange cut you want to offer the lord. That's why I stopped you before you committed the sa stupidity as Stella!]
[Hey! What right do you allow yourself to accuse ~~~
[?! ~~!
"•••"
No longer knowing how to react to their strange excitent, Alvine had a peculiar smile as he listened to them bickering about such trivial things.
But on the one hand, he was reassured to see them endowed with this human side.
"... Where do these people co from--
[Close it, miserable insect!]
"-Hiii!!!" Just before Alice finished her sentence, her body cooled when she t the hostile looks of the two newcors as Stella scolded her with these words.
Even if she did not understand what she had said, just by listening to the tone of her voice, and her murderous aura, she felt like she was sentenced to death because of her simple curiosity.
"Well, that's enough! I don't intend to see another Greed erge among the three of you!" Alvine finally intervened to calm the tension between the three.
[... Our apologies, my lord. But Stella only wastes your noble appearance with a cut too--
[Ignis, you shut up!] He replied, noticing that the two were not ready to abandon the discussion.
[...]
"Sigh, co back now; your presence in this place could cause more problems. I invoked Stella for a good reason. Unlike you, she can channel her energy instead of making the room like a hundred-degree oven or giving people the impression of being in ceteries." It was explained by indexing the mortifying aura of Ignotus and the volcanic aura of Ignis.
[All our apologies, my lord, I had not considered that we were on a planet of miserable rank.]
[Indeed, I couldn't calmly think when I saw the humiliation that Stella had just done. She deserves the sa sentence as Captain Greed!]
"... If you stay one more nanosecond, it is you both who will be clung to the pillars of purification, and this for eternity! Did I--
"They have already left."
"I see it well, Reha. But let at least finish my sentence." He retorted with an exhausted air.
'I feel like I'm playing the role of the babysitter with these two. How can they be so chatty when they barely spoke when they had completed their evolutions.' He murmured as he looked at Alice, who was mute as a grave.
'But hey, they were still able to serve sothing.'
Following this conclusion, he nods toward Stella.
"You can lef--
-BOOM!!
As he uttered these words, the whole building trembled fiercely following a sudden explosion that seed to be anything but ordinary.
And at the sa ti, In Soon Min's phone vibrated following an urgent ssage she had just received.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk; these bastards!" She slams her tongue after reading the ssage on her smartphone.
"Are you talking about them?" The inspectress asked loudly as her eyes began to show pure hatred.
*Stella, instead of leaving, evaluates the entire situation and co gives a detailed report of what is currently happening.* Ordered Alvine telepathically by noticing a familiar aura he never thought he would see on this planet.
*At your orders, my lord! *
-Wuuusshhh!!!
'Tsk, in the end, I think my stay will be extended here.' He whispered to himself with confused eyes as if he did not believe what he had just seen through his perception.
"These bastards of the renegade! Why are they coming to attack us now? Do they want to steal the items from the auctions? Or.." In Soon Min continued to whisper while glancing at Alvine.
"Renegades?"
Hearing Alvine's question, she finally woke up in her thoughts, frowning at Alvine.
"People who claim to be your apostles." She says by indexing Alvine.
"...Huh??" He asked with confused eyes.
"Sigh, even if it was only an excuse at first to act with impunity, as ti went by, this group of people has gained the power to match ours at the current ti." In Soon Min explains between her clenched teeth of frustration.
"It is because of your prophecy affirming that the evil God will descend into our world and purify it from any inequality by causing its destruction. If you hadn't prophesied that, this evil group probably wouldn't see the day, and my parents may still be alive right now!" Alice retorted by staring at In Soon Min with the sa bloodthirsty look she threw at Alvine.
