It was early in the morning and Mrs. Sarakana was sitting on the couch, tickling Dylinglight's stomach with a smile on her face. The cat purred calmly. It was very fond of Mrs. Sarakana and was quite happy that Saneko hadn't been paying attention to it recently. It absolutely despised her. Mrs. Sarakana spoke to the cat in a playful baby voice as she tickled it.
"Who's a good kitty witty? You are. Yes you are."
She absolutely adored this cat. She was so happy she allowed Saneko to keep it even though she was hesitant at first. Although, it has basically become her cat at this point.
There was then a sudden sound coming from the door which caused both of them to perk up. Thinking it was a knock, Mrs. Sarakana placed the cat down and patted its head.
"I'll be right back. Don't get all grumpy on me now."
The cat looked disappointed and curled up on the couch as she turned around. She walked over to the door and opened it, and on the other side was K2 who was attempting to use its sword to pry the door open. It looked up to see Mrs. Sarakana standing there, staring down at it. It scratched the back of its head nervously.
"Oh uh... hello."
"Who are you?"
"I go by K2. I greatly apologize if I disturbed you."
K2 didn't understand why it was being so formal. It was here to kill Saneko after all. It immediately returned to its original personality and held its sword up to Mrs. Sarakana's neck in a threatening manner. She didn't know what was happening so her eyes widened in shock.
"You will tell me where your daughter is at this moment. I was sent here to kill her and I will do just as I am told. The one referred to as Demon Babe must die."
Mrs. Sarakana didn't expect for this person to actually refer to her daughter by her ridiculous hero name. She looked to see K2's wings. She was extremely dense, so she simply thought that this was a cultivator who Saneko had convinced to play pretend with, and it dressed up to play the part of a villain in one of Saneko's games.
"Oh. I'm so glad Saneko has finally made a friend! You know, she's kind of weird, so it makes me so happy to see this."
"I am not her friend! Didn't you just here what I said?"
"Oh right, you're still playing pretend. I must say, I am impressed you are still in character when she's not around."
"DO YOU WISH FOR ME TO KILL YOU TOO?"
Mrs. Sarakana chuckled. She placed her hand on the sword and lowered it from her neck. K2 looked to see how fearless she was right now. Despite wearing a mask, it was evident K2 was perplexed at how she casually lowered the weapon of someone threatening to kill her. Of course, Mrs. Sarakana didn't even think it was a real sword. Her fearlessness was entirely dependent on her ignorance.
"Well, she's not here right now. It's a school day remember. You should be at school too."
"I am not a student in the mortal realm! I am a being of higher authority who was sent to kill Demon Babe! Do you not listen?"
"Okay okay. I get it. She convinced you to play. If you really don't know where she is, she's at Anetop Academy."
With that, K2 immediately ran off, holding its sword tightly. Mrs. Sarakana shrugged and watched it run off into the street as a car almost hit it.
"Geez. Where did Saneko find such a nut to play games with. Oh well, it doesn't matter."
She closed the door and walked back to pet Dyinglight once more.
"SUCH A SOFT KITTY!"
K2 walked the sidewalks, still breathing heavily. It was moving a bit faster now as it knew where Saneko was. People who passed by turned their heads to stare at it with bewildered expressions. As it walked, it repeated a single statement aloud.
"Demon Babe will die. Demon Babe will die. Demon Babe will die."
In an almost too coincidental turn of events, the boy who had become Saneko's disciple was walking down the same sidewalk, holding his new basketball in his hands. Seeing the masked creature caught his attention automatically, but he tried to ignore it. He looked down at the ball just to make sure he didn't look directly at the knight. Despite trying his hardest to ignore it, as he walked past, he could hear what it was saying.
"Demon babe will die."
Upon hearing these words, the boy immediately swelled up with rage. He turned around and pointed to K2 and yelled as loud as possible.
"DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND HURT THE GREAT DEMON BABE!"
K2 stopped in its tracks and turned its head. The red eyeball on its masked freaked the boy out, causing him to take a few steps backwards. His confidence was already wearing off, but it didn't deter him.
"Y...you heard me..."
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
K2 also turned around to face the boy. It lifted its sword slightly and walked up to him. The boy gulped in fear and began taking a few more steps backwards.
"You are acquainted with Demon Babe?"
Despite his fear, the boy had faith in Saneko. He knew that he should stand up for her no matter what.
"Yeah! I am! She's the greatest hero the world has ever known! If you try to kill her, it will be you who will die."
"You will know when I kill her that she is no more than a fly compared to the beings of the worlds above. Perhaps I should kill you for merely suggesting that I would fall to such a lowly being."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I know she will protect me because she is the savior of our world!"
"We shall see about that."
K2 lifted its sword even higher. Other people who were passing by continued to stare in confusion, however, they thought that this was a roleplay of some sort, and not real, so no one stepped in. K2 grabbed the boy by his collar and lifted him up with one hand. With its other hand, it held its sword up to the his neck, just like it did with Mrs. Sarakana. The boy was terrified and closed his eyes. In his mind, he began to beg for Saneko to help him.
"Please Demon Babe! I know you can save me!"
At Anetop Academy, Mrs. Gaud was passing around a sheet of paper to each student.
"We have had enough physical exams for the time being. Today we will be doing a test instead to see how well each one of you understands the rules of cultivation."
Mark glared over to Saneko who, like usual, had her feet on her desk. He began mumbling to himself, still upset about what happened the day before.
"At least she'll definitely lose this one. She can't be strong and smart."
As Mrs. Gaud passed out the tests, she past Chloe's seat and noticed she was still gone. She sighed a bit sadly, wondering why Chloe had been absent for so many days. She decided to not think about it right now though, as she continued passing out papers. Once she got to Saneko's desk, she noticed that Saneko had no appliances on her desk. She should have noticed this earlier, but they were so caught up in physical exams, she never did.
"Saneko, first of all, get your feet off of the table."
"Hmph. Or what?"
"Do it now!"
Rolling her eyes, Saneko decided to comply and remove her feet from off of the table.
"Now secondly, why don't you have any appliances."
"Don't need them."
"Yes you do. We are doing a test and you don't even have a pencil."
Smirking widely, Saneko put her hand on the paper and the answers began appearing automatically.
"You see, I can simply do this. I can do anything with my powers."
"I don't know how that's even possible, but I don't care. Just take this pencil."
Mrs. Gaud reached in her pocket and pulled out a pencil before handing it to Saneko. Saneko however, was set in her ways about using her actual abilities instead of using a pencil. Using telekinesis, she opened the window right next to her and tossed the pencil outside.
"I have already told you that I don't need one."
Saneko has used pens and pencils before so it wasn't like she always refused to use them. She just really wanted to pull out all the stops to show off. Mrs. Gaud looked over at the window that suddenly opened and she scratched her head in frustration.
"I don't get you one bit."
There was nothing Mrs. Gaud could do to convince Saneko to use a pencil and she realized that, so she simply walked away. Saneko stuck out her tongue and used her telekinesis again to close the window she had just opened.
Saneko, like usual, didn't really pay attention to her strength. The pencil she tossed out of the window hurled through the air at extremely high speeds.
K2 pressed its sword against the boy's neck almost enough for it to draw blood.
"Any last words mortal?"
He was hyperventilating. He as trying to put all of his trust in Saneko, but he was just a child. The fear he was feeling at this moment was overwhelming. Just then, the pencil that was hurling through the air made its way to exactly where K2 was by sheer coincidence. It penetrated its skull, killing the knight instantly. Its grip on the boy's collar ceased, and it collapsed to the ground, face first.
People walking down the sidewalk looked at the dead body of the knight before whispering to each other about what they had just witnessed.
"What a strange play."
"I know right? I didn't even understand the theme."
As the boy stared at the body, his face was one of shock, fear, and awe. Although, these expressions quickly turned into one of happiness when realizing what had just happened.
"Demon Babe saved me!"
He was technically correct.
After awhile, Saneko walked up to the teacher's desk and dramatically handed her the paper, holding it up to her face. All of the students were trying to complete the test in silence. The only sound was the ticking of the clock. Saneko had finished very quickly though because of her powers.
"I have completed it. I believe I have passed with flying colors if I do say so myself."
With an unamused expression, Mrs. Gaud took the paper and placed it down. After that, hours passed and, other than the test, it was a very uneventful day. There was a pattern with this school only doing one major thing a day. Either way, Saneko didn't really care. She thought she got to show off enough which satisfied her.
"Hehehe~ The teacher was so impressed."
As Saneko was walking down the street that led back to her home, her disciple ran out of nowhere and hugged her, practically tackling her. Saneko looked down at him, not expecting this at all. Tears of joy flooded his eyes as he looked up at her with an expression of gratitude.
"Thank you so much for saving me!"
"For what now?"
"For saving me from that awful monster with the mask who almost killed me."
"Uh... of... OF COURSE! YES! ALL IN A DAY'S WORK MY LITTLE DISCIPLE!"
She patted his head, having absolutely no clue what he was talking about. She couldn't admit that though. Praise was praise.
Kray walked up to Chrona who was on a device that appeared to be similar to a phone. She was staring at it intently, but Kray tapped her shoulder, getting her attention and snapping her out of her trance.
"Huh? What's wrong."
"Well, look at the hologram."
Chrona put her device down and looked at the hologram.
"Okay. It's blue."
"NOT THAT! LOOK AT THE EVENTS HAPPENING!"
Chrona put her fingers up to it and zoomed in. She saw the dead body of K2 in a hospital bed. The doctors were looking confused, probably because this is a higher dimensional entity that they have never encountered before.
"WHAT? K2 DIED? HOW?"
"Saneko threw a pencil at him."
"Be serious Kray!"
"I AM!"
Chrona looked at the hologram with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"What? Did she use her purple flame thing to make it more powerful?"
"No. I watched it as it happened. She just threw a pencil. It hurled through the air, and then it hit K2."
"But a pencil isn't even a magic ability. It's just an item. You're saying she did this with the sheer force of her throw alone."
"I guess. What other answer is there?"
Chrona just sat there, completely silent for a few seconds. Kray looked at her, waiting to see what she would say next.
"Chrona?"
"... Send all of them."
"All of who?"
"All of the knights. All at once. Now."
"Are you..."
"NOW!"
Her command caused him to flinch, but he simply nodded in response and stood up. He exited the room to assign all of the knights to head to the mortal realm. Chrona still could not believe it. She wanted to make another excuse like she did for K1, but this was beyond ridiculous. She sat alone in the room, staring blankly at the hologram.
