Chapter 64: Take What You Want

Chapter 64: Take What You Want

A boy without a family but a name placed onto him was born into a large scrapyard.

He was not the only child who had been dumped there, as many others around his age had suffered the same fate.

And yet, they all created their own family in this desolate wasteland.

There were not many to begin with, but there were enough differences of age between the group to provide help to each other.

Children, teens, and even young adults had begun to call this place their home.

The young boy, gleaming with his bright purple hair and eyes, sought his own destiny from his youthful age.

Though he did not have much at his disposal.

Though what he was taught was rather limited.

He continued to persevere.

Digging through the piles of scrap and metal, he continued to search for his future.

Day after day passed as he scavenged the land he had slept in.

However, on one fateful day, it appeared.

A beaten, destroyed, tiny robot toy.

He was unsure what to do with such a thing, nor how to fix it, but the boy quickly grabbed a few extra pieces of metal…

…and managed to repair it to such a state that many would believe it was still factory sealed.

Amazing both himself and those around him, the boy continued to push the limits of what he had been capable of making.

From toys, to tools, to even electronics.

The boy pushed past every limit that was presented to him.

He had even fixed a television for the others to use.

A brand new method for entertainment in the scrapyard was then created.

In the midst of an interview being broadcasted, a single woman appeared on the screen.

The interview prior had been about a man known as Aizawa the Revolutionary.

An inspirational hero to those in poor conditions, and an enemy to those who stood on higher ground.

This woman…was not Aizawa.

Yet for some reason, she was present during this interview.

As the boy continued to work on his trinkets, he listened to her words in the background.

However, a single statement was then provided from the woman on the TV.

“...Allow me to say this, anyone who declares themselves an enemy of Aizawa will also be declaring themselves enemies of myself as well!”

Her words rang out into the boy’s ear, and from there, he remembered every detail about her.

Blonde hair. Red eyes. Short in stature but older than any of the people in the scrapyard. Thin, armor-like clothes that could not truly be considered one or the other. An ncredibly long naginata in hand.

As the boy turned the scrapyard into a mechanical paradise, there were two conflicting thoughts within his mind.

“I want to build a paradise of my own, far more grand than this!”

“I want to be able to serve someone like her!”

His mind would soon make its decision, as supposedly, the interview was an interview from many years back.

The woman from said interview…had already passed on from the world.

Setting his eyes to his new goal, he focused on the construction of his new paradise.

Countless people of different ages cheered him on as he announced his departure.

To them, he was a hero in and of itself.

Before leaving, the boy pointed his left hand into the air, before curving his posture and pointing to those behind him.

A single question was provided.

“Are you ready…to rock?”

Hearing the shouting of many, he smiled as he left the scrapyard that was once his home.

Traveling and traveling, he made his way to the land in which he would build his foundation.

For countless days, he built an immense factory from nothing.

His muscles started to build and define themselves as he continuously provided his body with large masses of metal to carry.

Within the factory, he built multiple machines and tools to use at his disposal.

Even building a large mechanical arm for his right hand, which was not injured, but to him, it was a cool idea.

Countless special elevators, lights and contraptions were built, but above all, one creation was the creation he had used most.

A massive supercomputer, in which his flame-patterned pants, heavy steel boots, perfected sunglasses, and his iconic ROCK★STAR jacket was formed.

Along with this, the computer provided him with any and all details he needed.

No matter how hidden something had been, the boy who was now formed into a man could track it down.

Using this computer, the man was able to find every piece of information he desired about the legendary woman he had seen.

From this, he learned that not only was she alive…but an extra detail as well.

Upon seeing this secret detail, he simply took off his sunglasses and uttered a single statement.

“Damn…I guess I should have waited!”

With a smile on his face, the man accepted his first choice rather than the second to the fullest.

Though he had regret in his heart, as the other option enticed his desires far more, there was no turning back now.

△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼

Standing in front of the grand factory were multiple individuals who were in the midst of a long journey. Prior to arriving at this factory, they had spoken with a man on the opposite side who had owned a dojo. Unfortunately for the group, the man could not do anything about the gate presented in front of their carriages. However, the man who resided within the factory supposedly had what they needed to provide them with the means to continue traveling.

Moving towards the door, they spoke amongst each other as they were unfamiliar with how to enter such a building.

Shiro: [So do we need to knock or something? It doesn’t really seem like there’s another option here.]

Tequi: [Oh! Maybe there’s a doorbell! Surely they’d have that!]

Devi: [As possible as it is, I highly doubt a factory like this would have such a thing.]

Looking towards the two doors that were split into a total of eight squares in pattern, Shiro attempted to gauge how to go about entering. As she did so, the two ladies of red and mauve behind her provided their own inputs.

Suddenly, a camera atop the ceiling of the entrance had turned on. Focusing on the group, it caught their attention as the zooming buzzes filled the calm air around them. Waving her arms towards the camera, Shiro attempted to speak with the person on the other side.

Shiro: [Hello? If you don’t mind, we need to talk to y–]

…to little avail, as the camera quickly shut off after.

A gloomy look masked Shiro’s face as the possible hope of entering was shattered. Rubbing her back, Tequi felt it was necessary to make Shiro feel better.

Tequi: [Awww, don’t be sad, Shiro! We can always just break down the door!]

Devi: [Tequi, we cannot do that.]

Tequi: [But they aren’t exactly registered to own this land, are they?]

Devi: [Well…I suppose they are not…However–]

Tequi: [See? All the more reason to do so! Whoa!]

Before another movement could be provided, each of the eight squares of the door were lit up. Among each square revealed a letter, with a different color of background for every entry.

R O

C K

S T

A R

Shortly after the letters appeared, the doors steadily slid to the side as the path to enter the factory was presented to the group. Looking towards each other, they nodded in agreement as they entered the building.

Stepping past the entrance, they were greeted with many different contraptions and systems that lit up the view. Some of the pieces that were built had even looked as though they were made as a carnival ride.

Shiro and the others continued to walk, their mouths agape in awe over the immense effort put into the factory by just one person alone.

Shiro: [It was already a big deal when Hidari mentioned it, but to think it went this far…]

Tequi: [I told Devi that I might need her help to renovate my castle, but honestly, I might just have to hire this guy instead!]

Devi: [Even for someone like myself, to craft this much by hand is far more than impressive.]

???: [I thank you for your kind words, Miss Devi Bloodfire! Though at the moment, neither you nor Miss Tequi Tensetsu are the ones I have my eye on!]

Growing cautiously alert over the echoing voice, the group turned their attention to the origin of the sound. Looking up from their current position, they watched as a platform held together by a strong rope lowered itself. In the middle of the rope however, stood a man with shiny purple hair, and shredded muscles who loosely hung his palm and fingers around it.

Lifting the immensely large mechanical hand on his right, a single finger was jutted forward.

Devi, Tequi, Sol, Night and Estrella all moved their eyes in the same direction the man had pointed towards. Turning around, Shiro faced the three of Devi’s troops behind her, attempting to decipher who the man was focused on. Noticing the gazes of those around her, however, Shiro quickly realized in a shocked jolt of her body.

Shiro: [Wait, me?!]

???: [I’ve been dying to meet you, Rockin’ Shiro Fuloreen! Ever since I built this place, to your ascension to a goddess, all the way till now! I’ve been following your awesome history!]

Before another word could be uttered, Devi quickly placed her hand against the hilt of her sword.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Devi: [Meaning you know of, and have been following any recent events regarding her, correct?]

Opening the mechanical palm, the man whose face was darkened by the light spoke out to her.

???: [Whoa, whoa! Take it easy, Miss Devi Bloodfire! I’m quite the genius myself! I know damn well that the broadcast was fake! After all, the paparazzi can’t handle a star who shines way brighter than the rest, am I right, Rockin’ Shiro Fuloreen?!]

Shiro could not help but blush over the rush of compliments the individual continued to deliver to her.

Shiro: [It’s not very often that I’ve been complimented this much…Well, I guess that changed in the last six years, but other than him…]

???: [Oh! That’s right, that’s right! Is the last name Fuloreen incorrect now? I wasn’t really able to get info on whether or not you changed it, so I guess asking upfront is a whole lot easi–]

Shiro: [FULOREEN! IT’S STILL FULOREEN! PLEASE DO NOT SPEAK ANOTHER DETAIL ABOUT THAT!]

Noticing where the conversation was headed, Shiro erupted into a panicked frenzy of her words as she tried to correct the man. Presenting a thumbs up on his mechanical arm, he smiled at her.

???: [Ah, I see, I see! Saying that sort of stuff would only get more paparazzi involved, right? Can’t blame you for not speaking about it! A star shines best when they’re in the light, but not burning from it!]

Finally, the platform in which the man had stood reached the floor level. Moving out from the dimly lit side of the room, the man presented himself to the group. From his heavy steel boots, to his flame-patterned pants, to the long coat that hung over his shoulders, to the sunglasses resting on his eyes, he pointed his finger from his left hand into the air.

Migi: [I am Migi Paribozijiou! A twenty three year old genius, who has constructed this very factory you see around your glimmering selves! Welcome…to my Paradise!]

Finally, the man moved his hand back down, pointing towards the group.

Migi: [Are you ready to rock?]

An air of silence filled the room, and shortly after, Mig turned his back while waving his hand for the rest to join him.

Migi: [Come along, come along! I understand that you’re here to talk, so let’s head to my special lounge room and we can speak from there! In the meantime, let me give a nice tour of the things you’ll see along the way! Over here we have the Turbo Slide! It’s a fun little amusement piece that goes on for five whole minutes, in different directions! For a slide, you’ve gotta admit, that’s a pretty big deal! And over there we have the Super Pool! It’s a pool that can be morphed into any size that you’d like, along with the amount of water being adjustable! Did I mention that it even has a hot tub feature? Oh, over there we have the Temperature Room! You can customize the exact temperature you’d like to stay in! Plenty of books and all sorts of other stuff to do while you're there, so you can have the most relaxing time possible!]

Devi: [Is it measured by celsius or fahrenheit?]

Migi: [That too..is also customizable!]

Devi: [Hm. Convenient.]

Tequi: [Oh! That! What about that?]

Pointing ahead of the group was the excited Tequi, who was curious about the two doors in front of them.

Migi: [That…is the elevator we shall take in order to get to the lounge room!]

Pressing the button to the side, Migi looked back to the group behind him as he smiled again.

Migi: [Unfortunately, the elevator can’t actually fit too many people. At least compared to the size this arm of mine will take. So we might need to make two trips to finish setting everyone up!]

Devi: [I thank you for your assistance, but two trips will not be needed.]

Turning her attention to her troops, Devi spoke to the three behind her.

Devi: [The same rule as before will be present. For now, you will remain on guard out here as we speak with him. If you choose to, you may also have fun on the rides, assuming that he shall allow it.]

Migi: [Hey, I don’t mind! Have a blast with the place!]

Jumping in the air with her arms spread out was an excited woman in silk clothes and pink long hair.

Sol: [Yahoo! I’m going on the slide first! Join me, Estrella!]

Estrella: [I’m not sure that I really want to, Sol…]

Sol: [Come on! It’ll be fun!]

Estrella: [Haaaah…Fine, but only because you asked.]

Watching as the two ran towards the elongated slide, Night turned to face his lady once more.

Night: [For now, I’ll stand on guard I suppose.]

Devi: [Very well. Take care of those two while we are gone.]

Night: [Of course, Lady Devi.]

Departing into the now open elevator, the three took their leave along with the man of incredible muscle and absolute mechanics.

△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼

In a room of refined scents, beautiful scenery, and soft couches was the three who would soon speak with the man across a bar table. Using a machine to automatically move a cocktail shaker, the man allowed for his creations to pour three refreshing drinks into three glimmering glasses.

Moving past the jukebox in the room, the man presented each of the women with their drinks as he sat across from them shortly after.

Devi moved her glass to her mouth first, taking a sip of its contents before putting it down again.

Devi: [A very fine drink, with little to no alcohol in it. It is rare that I have had a drink this refreshing in quite some time.]

Migi: [I’m glad you like it! I made sure my machines were the top of the line even for stuff like this! Can’t have a Paradise without proper drinks, now can you? Of course, I had to make sure it was still fine without too much alcohol, since you all seem to be on quite the big journey here.]

Shiro: [Right, that’s related to some of the stuff we’d like to ask abou–]

Tequi: [Before that, I have to ask, is your arm gone?]

Interrupting Shiro’s statement was the curious Tequi, who grew more intrigued by the building as she learned more about it. However, her curiosity now rested on Migi, who had a large mechanical arm encompassing his entire right side.

Migi: [I can see why you’d ask that, but don’t worry! I can take it off at any time! See?]

Air was released from multiple holes in the arm as a hole near the back widened in size. From the hole came Migi’s other right hand, with each finger moving to show he had been just fine with and without it. Inserting his arm again, the mechanical device tightened once more.

Migi: [Right, so anyways, Rockin’ Shiro Fuloreen. You have some things you wanna talk about, right?]

Nodding to him, Shiro sorted his thoughts out within her head.

Shiro: [Yeah. Right now, we’re trying to get to a small village on the other side of the gate. The problem is that our group can’t exactly move until the gate is open.]

Migi: [Oh! I see, I see! Hey, that’s no problem at all for me! I can just open it up, and you can all be on your way!]

With a smile being exchanged between the two, Devi provided her own question into the conversation.

Devi: [We were told by the man next door, Hidari Monjo, that there was a dispute that led to the creation of this gate. Is that correct?]

Pulling his sunglasses up, Migi spoke with a relaxed look on his face.

Migi: [Yep. See, me and him started our dreams at the same time. It was kinda hard to determine who owned what, so for the sake of making things easier at the time, I built the gate out there.]

Tequi: [But neither of you own the land, correct?]

Migi: [While that might be true, it’s a matter of the two of us trying to decide who WILL. We’ve both got our own dreams, our own aspirations. Without all that, what exactly are we?]

Devi: [With the right assistance, a place to start those dreams could be provided.]

Migi: [It could be, but once the whole thing's started, why stop and start over again?]

Resting his cheek on his left palm, Migi faced a painting within the room.

Migi: [My Paradise isn’t perfect, and his dojo probably isn’t perfect for him either. We’ve gotten into fights over what’s ours, but we aren’t even sure if this is what we want. In some ways, I kinda want to do more with my skills. A fun home is nice and all, but it isn’t exactly pushing me to some higher degree of skill. I need more. I gotta find something where I can fix up other places for people to use, or make useful tools for all of them. There’s no reason to hog all the spotlight.]

Providing a calm smile, Migi continued to stare at the wall.

Migi: [A star can’t shine without the other stars that shine with it.]

Suddenly, a loud slam erupted into the room as two hands struck down on the table in front of the four. The unexpected noise caused Devi, Tequi, and even Migi himself to jump ever so slightly. The only one who had not done so was–

Shiro: [Then you should come work for me!]

Migi: [Look, Rockin’ Shiro Fuloreen…]

Shiro: [You need somewhere in which you can shine, right?! I have tons of places for that! My group is kinda small at the moment, but I’m sure as it builds up, I’ll need more and more to accommodate those around me! I’ll need a new office, since my current one is a mess. I’ll need a dojo if I want to train new recruits and have them learn my style. I’ll need an armory…maybe. I’ll need a bunch of stuff! Please! I’m begging you! I’d love to have you on my team!]

Putting his palm towards Shiro, Migi closed his eyes with a smile. As his smile appeared however, the growing of Shiro’s faded

Migi: [Look, Rockin’ Shiro Fuloreen. I’d love to join you. Honestly, I was kinda upset when I found out everything regarding your family. It meant that I could have helped you out by now, had I just waited. Sure, I’m not far off in age, so there wasn’t really a way to speak to you ahead of time, but I think my point still stands. Regardless of that, though, I have my Paradise now. I can’t exactly abandon her like she’s nothing. This is my place, my home. It’s unfortunate, but that’s how it is.]

Shiro: [B-But…]

Migi: [I’m sorry, but it isn’t happening.]

Moving her head down and tightly gripping at her pants, Shiro lifted herself off the couch as she moved towards the door.

Shiro: [...I suppose we should get going then…]

Tequi: [Hey, Shiro!]

Her call was left unanswered as Shiro continued to walk.

Watching as she moved, Devi turned to meet Migi again.

Devi: [I believe you said you could help us with the gate, correct?]

Migi: [Ah! Right! I’ll get that for all of you! It’s the least I can do anyways!]

Moving himself off the couch, Migi quickly made his way towards the door. Tequi and Devi followed behind slowly, with Tequi keeping her attention on Devi.

Tequi: [Are you not concerned about Shiro?]

Devi: [This is the first time I’ve felt like this.]

Tequi: [Huh?]

Devi: [The conversation ended in an adequate fashion, with the two sides understanding each other. Yet, for some reason, I’m rather irritated at the moment.]

Tequi: [Devi, you don’t mean…]

Turning her blood red eyes to Tequi’s mauve crystal-like gaze, she lowered the volume of her voice as she continued.

Devi: [Tequi, this will be one of very few occasions where I ask for your assistance in this way.]

Tequi: [This way? What do you mean?]

Devi: [When we leave the factory…take out your bow. I’d like for the two of them to reach a conclusion, in which one or perhaps both shall assist Shiro.]

A smile started to form on Tequi’s face as she continued to look at Devi.

Tequi: [Yes! We’re finally doing it! We’re doing a super secret, stealthy plan! The type that you always hated!]

Devi: [I still do not enjoy the idea of it, however…]

She closed her scarlet eyes from the world.

Devi: [...I’m far less fond of the sadness residing within Shiro at this moment.]

Thus, a secret plan that only the two figures of royalty had known about, had now begun…

…amidst the paused, secret plan formed by not only them, but that of Shiro Fuloreen and many other collaborators.

△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼△▼△△▼△▼

Outside of the two large buildings, the long gate that spanned across the land was now beginning to open. With the help of the man who had built it, Migi Paribozijiou, the group stood beside him as they watched their path become clear once more.

Finally, the trail to reach the kitsune village was now in sight again.

However, while the gate continued to open, an angel from the other side adorned in a white gi made his way towards the group. His orange eyes presented an annoyed look to the mechanic man.

Hidari: [Oi! Migi! What is the meaning of this?!]

Migi: [Huh? I’m just opening the gate for them! Is that a problem now?!]

Hidari: [Not that, you dolt! I mean my dojo! Why is there now a hole in the roof of it?!]

Migi: [Huh?! Who are you calling a dolt?! And I didn’t do anything to your dojo, so quit bugging me about it!]

Hidari: [I keep telling you that if you’re going to test things, do so in your factory!]

Migi: [Have you considered that it’s maybe YOU this time who needs to test stuff carefully?! How do we know it wasn’t some crazy stunt you were trying to perform!]

Hidari: [So it was you after all!]

Migi: [That’s not what I said, you klutz! I said that it could have been you! Didn’t you hear me?!]

As the two continued to argue, a firm nod to Tequi was provided by Devi. Receiving a smile in response, Devi made her way towards the two with her hands presented to calm them down.

Devi: [Gentlemen, please. If there is a dispute regarding these things, we can discuss this at this very moment if you would like. After all, the both of you are here, and Tequi and I can handle the extra work needed in regards to the land.]

Hidari and Migi: [In that case, I’d like to sign a form for the land!]

Staring at each other with fury in their eyes, they looked back towards Devi. From behind came Tequi, who stood beside her royal friend as they spoke.

Tequi: [Now, now. Let’s settle this properly. If I recall correctly, both of you built these places at the same time, right?]

Hidari and Migi: [Yeah! The exact same!]

Devi: [If we were to discuss the matter of the current situation, a significant piece of damage was caused to your property, correct?]

Hidari: [Yeah, and it was likely due to his testing!]

Migi: [Bullshit it was!]

Tequi: [However, we’d need to investigate things further in order to gauge that.]

Devi: [It would take several days of filing, examining, and many other steps in order to do so. What would make it worse is that neither building is owned, it would only increase the time in which things must be sorted. Unfortunately, it would mean that the two of you would have to temporarily join us, and abandon these places for the time being.]

Hidari and Migi: [There’s no way I’m doing that!]

Tequi turned her eyes to Devi, who kept her focus on the two in front of her.

Devi: [This is good. Though they have not agreed to it, if we can continue with this plan for a little longer, one of them should concede at the minimum.]

While the conversation continued, a single question was presented behind the two women. A question from a woman adorned in white, who had casted her eyes away from the world with the shade laid out across her face.

Shiro: [...Even though your building is slightly broken, you’re still going to chase after this empty dream?]

Hidari: [Of course! I can’t let go of it over something like this!]

Shiro: [...Even though your building may cause damage to those around it, you’re still going to march through your own empty desire?]

Migi: [Yeah! There’s no point in stopping now!]

Taking a deep breath, Shiro finally moved her head up. An intimidating glare now rested on her eyes.

Shiro: [I see. Well then, I’ll just do as I please.]

Moving forward, Shiro marched towards the two women in front of her.

Shiro: [Devi, Tequi, do you mind stepping aside for a moment?]

Devi and Tequi: [Oh, right. Go ahead, Shiro.]

In unison, the two moved out of the way for Shiro.

She continued to move forward, eventually reaching the same spot as the men.

Shiro: [If you don’t mind…]

Hidari and Migi: [Oh. Of course, ma’am. Apologies.]

Once again, in perfect unison, a polite movement of position was provided for Shiro, who continued to step past the gate.

Finally moving past it, along with a few extra steps to be certain, she looked towards the two buildings in front of her.

With a low tone in her voice, she spoke out to the lifeless structures.

Shiro: [Both were created, and robbed the very souls, dreams, and desires of their maker. Without a single ounce of mercy, they stole some of the most important pieces that creates a person. Joy. Love. Many emotions cannot be felt without these very things. Yet, these horrid creatures have taken what is not theirs.]

Allowing her face to morph in form, Shiro presented a far more aggravated expression than before.

Shiro: [...How unsightly.]

Extending her hand outward, the sheathed sword known as Storm had appeared from thin air. Quickly grabbing onto the hilt, Shiro pulled the blade out, storing a portion of her electricity into the cold ringing steel.

At that very moment, the spectators who stood around had fully realized what was occurring.

Tequi: [Hey, what’s she…]

Devi: [Shiro?!]

Hidari and Migi: [O-Oi!]

Their words alone could not stop what came next.

Holding her blade in the air with one hand, with all of her might, Shiro swung the blade horizontally as she screamed out.

Shiro: [WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]

From the blade came a large, projectile slash that moved far quicker than any of them had expected.

Watching as it flew through the air, they witnessed the result prepared for the target of the elongated attack.

Both the dojo and the factory took the force of the slash…

…and both crumbled, and erupted into a cloud of dust upon impact.

Countless pieces of debris smashed down on each other as they watched from a distance.

This was a result not a single one of them could have expected.

Both Hidari and Migi fell to their knees, watching as their two buildings disappeared.

Sheathing her sword and storing it away into her innate ability, Shiro stood with her back turned to the two.

Despite not facing them, she focused on making her words reach the two.

Shiro: [You two had told me that had it not been for those buildings, you would have joined me, correct? Then why keep your souls entrapped in them? If there is something far more grand that you seek, why would you run from it? Was it not that desire that pushed you to make these foundations? By betraying your own heart, you’ve already betrayed the work that you’ve put into your dream. There is no reason to cower in fear, or hide from what cannot harm you. Pushing yourself forward is something you must always focus on doing. The past is not what is important, nor the unseeable future. It is the present. The day in which you are alive and standing, that is the time that matters most.]

Turning to face the two, a kind smile was now lifted on her face.

Shiro: [I do not mind if the two of you do not stay by my side forever. If there is a far greater dream that you seek, I will ask you to chase that. If you are no longer satisfied with the dream you have built, or the dream that you are chasing, then it is alright to start anew. The greatest importance in that regard is to focus on what you wish to do. Starting from the beginning may be difficult, but it’s the only path to take in order to achieve what you desire.]

Listening to her words, a single action was provided from one of the men.

That being Hidari…who was now bowing to Shiro with tears falling across his closed eyes.

Hidari: [...Miss Shiro Fuloreen, please forgive me! I…I feel ashamed of myself…I’ve betrayed everything that my family had once taught me…I stopped focusing on my studies for this dojo, yet I could not do the same for you…I…Ghk!...I do not deserve the honor of being at your service…!]

Shiro: [And yet, I shall provide you with it, along with accepting you as you are.]

Her kind hearted words melted Hidari’s heart, causing his sadness to heighten.

Migi had started to stand, and looked towards Shiro.

Migi: [...Rockin’ Shiro Fuloreen, I think I’m filled with way more regret now than before. You really did quite the number on me there…]

Shiro: [Have I possibly made the idea of joining me far worse for you?]

A smile started to form across his face, as he lifted his sunglasses to reveal a dashing look.

Migi: [Not in the slightest. If anything, I’m really upset that I didn’t meet you sooner! I’ll be in your care from now on!]

While the three continued to have their heartful bonding, Devi stood nearby with her high ranking officer, Night.

Night: [You know, Lady Devi…]

Devi: [Hm?]

Night: [This isn’t too far off from how we met, isn’t it?]

Devi: [Hmhmhm. I suppose you’re correct.]

The two smiled as they looked at Shiro, an angelic-like light was beaming behind her within their vision.

Devi: [I’m starting to grow quite fond of traveling with her.]

While Hidari continued to cry, a hand was presented to him by Shiro so that he could stand.

Wiping the tears away, he joined Migi in standing tall for the succubus before them.

Preparing her aura of resolve again, Shiro looked towards them with determination filling her eyes.

Shiro: [From here on, until you wish to chase a new dream, the two of you shall work under me, understood?]

Matching her energy, the two smiled as they provided keen looks towards Shiro.

Hidari and Migi: [Yes, Lady Shiro! We will serve you to the best of our efforts!]

With a smile on her own face, Shiro provided her final statement to them.

Shiro: [You two shall serve as the commanding officers of the Shiro Army!]

Thus, the legendary Shiro Army was formed.

The strong willed martial artist, Hidari Monjo. The grand rockin’ engineer, Migi Paribozijiou.

And finally, the lady in which they served, the beautiful snow-like goddess, Shiro Fuloreen.

A force like no other…was now born.
