"Sohow I felt offended for being called a cat."
I remarked, but this only further angered the giant cloud n. Lightning sparks flew and thunder bood in the empty city of gold. The king of hell, Ozvaloth, summoned up a storm as his voice bellowed.
"In your final monts, you pleaded with us for rcy and we gave it to you for how pathetic you were. Now you've returned!? I shall personally flay you, you shaless kitten!"
"Um… I don't even look like a cat."
"I see you are still unable to shut your mouth to save your own life."
"But… I… what? I give up. Screw you, baldy!", I didn't care anymore. These crazy n could do whatever the hell they wanted to do. If they wanted to destroy so much without even hearing out, I was ready to take them on.
'Kuro, Shitsuke. Get rea-'
Stopping from making a very rash decision, the agent ca in with a solution. I wasn't quite sure what it had cooked up, but it was the most reliable skill I had, so I guess I'd just leave the whole ordeal to it.
It was a strange experience relieving control to the agent. As if my soul was being pulled from the front row seat and to the backseat of a car. My vision tunnelled and suddenly I was viewing everything through a screen rather than through my own eyes. Well, I guess it was my eyes at the end of the day, but still.
As a bolt of lightning was being prepared above, my body took flight into the air towards the other cloudy man. The man looked at us as if we were so kind of fly that was about to bother him.
"What? You want to turn you inside out instead of Ozvaloth?"
The cloud asked us with a raised eyebrow. Clearly, he didn't see us as worth his ti. In fact, him being here was most likely simply just a formality rather a king addressing a threat. The king of hell on the other hand seed to be preparing a very potent attack for us while muttering sothing excitedly. I couldn't understand what he was saying as it was in so otherworldly language.
"□□□!"
As if whatever the hell the king of hell was saying made no sense, the agent followed up with sothing that was censored in my head. Ozvaloth stopped charging up his attack then looked at us with stunned eyes. Ozvon, the devil king, had the sa expression.
Ozvaloth looked Ozvon, then us, then back to Ozvon with utter disbelief.
"Please tell you weren't stupid enough to actually leave your true na in one of the realms you visited because the civilisation level was far too dense to understand its aning."
Ozvaloth exasperated, like a concerned and disappointed father, asked.
"What? No! I didn't!"
Ozvon imdiately defended himself.
"Then explain this."
"I… Ah… there shouldn't be anyone who knows my true na other you, myself and… huh?"
As he was thinking about the third person, his eye fell on us. I could feel our mouth make an attempt at a smile. It was evident the agent hadn't smiled in a very long ti.
"Is that you, Jasper?"
He asked and Ozvaloth glared at us.
"Yes."
"Jasper? Who is Jasper? Why is this the first ti I'm hearing of a Jasper?"
Ozvaloth questioned, taking a better look at us. We didn't flinch in the slightest no matter how close he got to us, but then Ozvon flew in between Ozvaloth and us.
"I will handle this. You can return to your domain."
"Huh? But-"
"Just trust . Don't question it too much, but this isn't that wimpy cat."
All of a sudden, Ozvon was vouching for her legitimacy. I was starting to wonder what kind of relationship the agent had with Ozvon for him to not only reveal his true na to it, but also stand up to his partner for its sake.
"Explain. Now."
"I will co to your palace and explain. For now, please just return."
"Hmmm, very well then. I await your explanation."
With a deal having been made, the king of hell returned to his palace on the 9th layer, leaving us with only the king of devils glaring at us.
'Wow, you really solved this pretty well.'

'Ah… I see. The bane of being the one true superior. You are all alone with no friends. You think that's why Makrov hates having partners so much?'

'So a replica of the akashic records exists there?'
'A guy can dream.'
'And that's for…?'
'Oh yeah!'
The agent was completely right! I hadn't even considered what would happen if I got caught doing this. Best case scenario, I get found out and banished. That'd an I accidentally left them in hell with no actual way to bring them back. Then I failed Tsuna, which could lead to her going berserk and the goblins all losing faith in . Following that, the other monsters will think I'm so unreliable trash and there'll be an entire rebellion. I can already sll the roasted chicken they'll be feasting on.
'Oi, oi, in what way was that the best scenario? Stupid brain, what are you thinking up?'
'Ignore .'
I then focused on the two devils in front of . I didn't want to have to force them to co along as moving with them would feel awkward and I couldn't have them running away from .
"Both of you, stay here until I call for you. Do not move even an inch. No, wait. Move an inch. N-no, not just an inch. Like, 5 tres? I don't know. Just don't leave this city."
After the command, I flew towards the golden palace. I arrived in a few seconds, bolted through the wide-open doors and empty hallways, following the directions of the agent. We got to the treasury which had been shut close.
I opened the doors and was t with the overly generic treasury scene. Except, rather than seeming endless, the room really was endless. I tried my hardest, but I couldn't see the end of the room. It was as if this place was endlessly expanding and it carried an absurd horde of items.
'Um… what the hell?'
