CHAPTER 23
Life's Too Short And This Chapter Too!
----------------------------------------
A little while back.
Kitsune and Kira had walked further away from their each group, about few hundred meters away.
「...」
「...」
Without a word; Kira took a few step backwards from Kitsune while still making an eye contact.
「*Sigh*....Do you really wanna fight me? I mean, It's useless-ne?」< Kitsune >
Kitsune said with a bland voice, as she was hiding lower half of her face with her folding fan.
「Well...if you take back what you've said about Aniki then there's no reason for us to fight.....」< Kira >
Kira said as he now focus all of his attention only at Kitsune front of him.
「Ara~ Why should I do that? When I'm telling the truth~ In fact, here--give this lollipop to your Aniki. After he lose the fight to give him a little peace of mind-ne~~」< Kitsune >
Kitsune suddenly puts her left hand onto the 'Storage Pouch' and took out a big lollipop and held out towards Kira.
「...w......w.......why you.......」
Seeing this, Kira gritted his teeth in anger--when he quickly jump away from her while he continuously swings his limbs left and right towards Kitsune, in mid-way of landing.
Seconds later; dozens of razor-sharp ice blades formed out of thin air as it was straight headed towards Kitsune at full speed.
「Hmph.」
With a calm demeanour; Kitsune swiftly unfold her folding fan and swings it towards the razor-sharp ice blades.
「!?」
「...」
Soon, the very surface of the ground shattered into small debris, as it soon took a form of a giant wall, protecting her from the attack.
When the razor-sharp ice blades clashed with the giant wall, ice blades just shattered into countless pieces--before falling down.
「...tch!」
Kira clicked his tongue while he safely landed a little further away from her.
「*Snap*!」
Suddenly, Kira saw Kitsune snapping her finger.
「..?」
And the moment when Kira landed, he found himself completely surrounded by several chains from all directions.
In quick succession; Kira quickly tries to jump away from the spot...But--when he did, his one leg suddenly got caught by one of the chains, preventing him from moving an inch.
「...what the.......」
Soon; Kira did his best to freed his leg as he tries to break free from a single chain.
But his effort was in vein 'cause not long after; several other chains starts to move around him and tied him up. And now, he couldn't even flinch his single finger, let alone moving his body....
「You should be grateful that my dear Master spared your life-ne~」< Kitsune >
Kitsune said with amusement as she slowly approaches at the tied up Kira.
「...」
Without a word; Kira just stares at Kitsune with his narrowed and cold eyes.
「That's better~ you should just stay quiet--hm?」< Kitsune >
*Kaboom* *Kaboom*
「「!?」」
Suddenly out of nowhere, Kitsune and Kira heard loud explosions coming far away from the battlefield. However--the explosion was so loud and effective that even the ground they were standing on also shook, like an small earthquake.
「Ara~ Seems like their fight has finally begun-ne~ So I think we should also stop this nonsense fight, right~? Or perhaps, you still wish to continue?」< Kitsune >
Kitsune said as she raise her one eyebrow in question, waiting for his reply.
「...Fine.....now, release me.......」< Kira >
「Very well~ *Snap*!」
As Kitsune snap her finger again, several chains that tied up Kira quickly vanished into thin air.
「...」
Without a word; Kira starts to walk back to the direction where his group was, while looking down with a darken face.
「Aahh, Master~~ How I'm feeling excited to see your coolness again~~」< Kitsune >
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
And as Kitsune mutters to herself while looking a little red, as she soon followed after to return.

◆Late Night Random Internet Facts◆
Host by Sub
Episode 2
On the white room.
A huge stage stood tall as the red curtains were on. And front of it was dozens upon dozens empty seats.
However, not every seats were empty actually. As there were two individual present, after all.
But--these two individual were sitting far away from one another, as they continue to look on at the red curtains which was covering the stage.
One individual was Jyoti(Who had her forehead wrap up with bandages).
Another individual was Kitsune.
「Ara~ Jyoti-san, why's your forehead been wrapped up by bandages? Care to explain~」< Kitsune >
「! I-It's none of your business!」< Jyoti >
Jyoti suddenly looks away from the stage, as she somewhat got flustered.
「Ara~ So, it's something you're embarrass to talk about-ne~?」< Kitsune >
「! W-What!? No! It's not!!」< Jyoti >
「Really? Then, why you're looking away from me? When I'm talking with you-ne?」< Kitsune >
「W-Well, these walls are quite pleasant to look at- de gozaru!」< Jyoti >
「Hoh~? But these walls are just a plain white walls, y'know~ So, what's so pleasant about them-ne~?」
Kitsune looks around the white walls in confusion...
「..You wouldn't understand, Kitsune. After all, only a 'Artist' could see through the 'Art'- de gozaru!!」< Jyoti >
「*Sigh* Jyoti-san, you aren't making any sense now......」< Kitsune >
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
During their gossip.
Suddenly--out of nowhere; almost from the whole empty seats a round of applause SFX soon played. As the red curtains slowly starts to move aside the stage, revealing Sub leisurely sitting on a lavish couch.
「Welcome and thank you for joining the show!」< Sub >
Sub soon gets up on his feet and turns around to look at the empty seats, while he wave his one hand up into the air as a response.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Moments later; Sub sat back on the lavish couch, as he soon took out a rolling paper from one of his pocket to smoke.
「Hm?」
But--when he puts his one hand onto his another pocket to take out a lighter, he seemed to look a little puzzle by it.
「...where the heck did I put my lighter now.......」< Sub >
Sub mutters as he checks one pocket after another trying to find his lighter.
「Master, let me help you to lit your rolling paper up-ne~」< Kitsune >
Out of nowhere, Kitsune suddenly just appear beside the lavish couch, where Sub was sitting.
「? When did you--?」< Kitsune >
Sub suddenly looks on at Kitsune, as he stop talking and stares on at Kitsune with little confusion, who was holding two little stone with her hands. All while, she gently stroke it to create a little spark.
「Oi....are you in 'Stone-Age' era or what? Why you're using stones instead of a 'match' or a lighter? What's your point anyway, Kitsune?」< Sub >
「!?」
Upon hearing barrage of question from Sub. Kitsune felt embarrass as she threw the two little stone away from the stage, while looking a little red.
「Hahahahaha~ Kitsune, you really are old-fashioned woman- de gozaru~!」< Jyoti >
And now, out of nowhere; Jyoti suddenly appear at the other side of the lavish couch standing as she crosses her arms.
「Seriously.....Now, you too......*Sigh*」< Sub >
With a short sigh; Sub tiredly turns around at Jyoti's direction.
「Please, trust me on this one, Master! I assure you that I use more advanced machine than her- de gozaru! So, let me lit your rolling paper up for you~~」< Jyoti >
Jyoti said with a smirk, as she reach on to her pocket and took out a 'Gas Lighter'.
*Clank* *Clank*
「Huh?」
Even Sub raised his one eyebrow in question as he looks at the gas lighter with confusion, which Jyoti was holding on to...
「...Are you sure that you've got the right lighter, Jyoti?」< Sub >
「Of course, Master! Just trust me- de gozaru!」< Jyoti >
At Sub's words; Jyoti nods energetically as she brings the gas lighter more closer to him.
*Clank* *Clank*
「*Sigh* You know what. I'll just use magic to lit up the rolling paper. So, why don't you guys just relax and sit beside me?」< Sub >
Sub said with bland voice, as he tells Jyoti and Kitsune to sit down right beside him on the lavish couch.
「..If you're so insisted then, of course I'll accept your offer, Master!」< Kitsune >
「Really!? Then, I'll just stay quiet and sit right now- de gozaru!!」< Jyoti >
Both; Jyoti and Kitsune nods in unison as they quickly gets ready to sit right beside Sub, while both of them looked a little red.
「「!!?」」
However--
*Boink* *Bong*
The moment; when Jyoti and Kitsune sat down on the lavish couch, it suddenly launched itself towards the empty seats like a rabbit, as the spring bouncing sound effect echoed through the whole empty stage and seats.
Seconds later; Jyoti and Kitsune along with the one part of the lavish couch were sent flying away towards the empty seats direction and landed with their heads first.
*Crash*
All while--the rubbles of empty seats fell down on them, soon covering them both a whole.
As for Sub, he soon ignite a small fire from tip of his finger and lit the rolling paper up.
「*Puff* This is my show. Do you guys really think that I'll let you to do co-host or something like that? Pfft, of course not! So, stay out this and let me start my show!!」< Sub >
Sub took a puff while waving his one hand at the empty stage.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Soon, a round of applause SFX played in background and fades away.
All while, Sub sit back on the lavish couch as he took out couple of white paper from one his pocket.
「Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the 'Late Night Random Internet Facts'! Episode 2! Hosted by me, the Protagonist! *Puff*」< Sub >
With an introduction, Sub unfolds the white papers and looks around the empty seats with now his narrowed eyes.
「But! Before I start the show. I'd like to address few things regarding the previous episode. *Puff*」< Sub >
With a puff; Sub continue to speak.
「Firstly, I'm actually a little disappointed that no one even commented a single random facts on the previous chapter for me use here.......However--on the flip side, I just wanna say 'Thank You Very Much' for not commenting!」< Sub >
With the rolling paper on his mouth, he bowed his head really deep to thank literally nobody.
「You may wonder, why am I thanking you the 'readers', right? Well...It's very simple, this storyline is trash and I want Mr.U-Being to do a reality check that no one cares about his trash. So, what's better way than to see the results for itself, right? So, once again I thank you the readers for giving a damn about this trash! *Puff*」< Sub >
With a long puff; Sub raise his head and sits back on the lavish couch to read the unfold papers.
「With that said. Let's start the 2nd episode of 'Late Night Random Internet Facts'! *Puff*」< Sub >
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
A round of applause SFX soon played from the background at Sub's words, as it soon fades away again.
「Here's the first one for this episode! Did you know: Sleep is just a free trail of death, and dreams are Ads that can be removed with full product! *Puff*」< Sub >
With a short puff; Sub continue to read the unfold papers.
「Here's the second one! Did you know: 'Albert Einstein' was a xenophobic person! *Puff*」< Sub >
Sub said as he took out another couple of white paper from his another pocket.
「Here's another one! Did you know: Lawyers hope you get sued, doctors hope you get sick, cops hope you're a criminal, mechanics hope you have car trouble but--only a thief wishes you prosperity! *Puff*」< Sub >
With a long puff; Sub continue to speak.
「*Puff* This time, I've got two more random internet facts to share with you all! First one is, did you know: It's impossible to accuse someone of being judgemental without being judgemental! *Puff* And now here the last one for this episode, did you know: School is just the recap episode of life so you could know what will happen when you get there! *Puff*」< Sub >
Sub said as he took a long last puff from the rolling paper and flicked it towards the debris of broken seats, where Jyoti and Kitsune were......
*Bang*
With a bang; debris of broken seats soon explodes as it suddenly caught itself in flames.
And without a hitch; Sub just smile and looks back at unfold papers to read.
「With that being said. It's the end for the 2nd episode of 'Late Night Random Internet Facts'! And I hope you guys had fun reading those random internet facts! And yes, I highly suggest you not to comment anything in this chapter too!!」< Sub >
Sub said as he looks up to the ceiling and raise his one eyebrow in question.
「...And I'm kidna surprise that Mr.U-Being didn't disturb me this whole time with his weird questions. Actually it's for the best--huh?」< Sub >
Just when Sub was about to stood up from the lavish couch, a piece of paper suddenly fell on his head out of nowhere.
「Oh--Speak of the devil.」< Sub >
Sub mutters as he picks up the piece of paper and unfolds it to read.
「Hmmm.....you sure you want me to tell this to the readers?」< Sub >
Sub looks up to the ceiling and tilt his head in question.
「Nothing to say, huh. Well then, I'll just read this and be done with it.」< Sub >
With a short sigh; Sub opens his mouth to read the piece of paper out loud.
「Ahem! Mr.U-Being have a question to ask us--before the episode ends. Here's the question, 'If you had to choose between death and torture, what would you choose?', is what he asked.」< Sub >
Sub said, and tore the piece of paper into tiny bits and throws it away.
「With this, the 'Late Night Random Internet Facts', episode two comes to an end! And now, I'll be taking my leave 'cause I still haven't read this week's 'Jump'!」< Sub >
At Sub's words; the red curtains slowly starts to close in the stage. All while--Sub stood up on his feet and wave his both hands towards the empty stage.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Soon, a huge round of applause SFX played in background and fades away, momentarily.
•••
Moments later; the whole stage got fully covered by the red curtains again, as now the whole empty seats were eerily quiet.
But--in the amidst of empty seats, Jyoti and Kitsune were still present as they both were staring off to the ceiling, blankly.
However--upon closer inspection; their both hair and cloths were mostly burn by the flames from earlier while they somewhat smelled something like a crisp.
「...Say, Jyoti-san......was this the reason why you had bandages all over your forehead, earlier?」< Kitsune >
「*Sigh* What can I say now.......Welcome to the club, maybe.....」< Jyoti >
「....Thanks, I guess.......」
「「*SIGH*」」
Both; Jyoti and Kitsune continue to stare off the ceiling without blinking an eye.
At the same time; the whole white room's light suddenly goes out, as it soon turned the whole white room into a pitch-black darkness.
