Chapter 3: Bad Omen!
"We can still talk about this! Stop! Lets discuss!" Conrad's cry just faded as the men charges dangerously towards the trapped Mazoku.
Shinou's Shrine
"Please stop pacing, my sage. You're making me nervous."
Murata came to a sudden halt when the first king of Shin Makoku spoke. As Murata speaks, he turns towards Shinou, who is sitting on one of the four forbidden boxes.
"I've a bad feeling." Murata said worriedly.
"About Yuuri?" Murata nods solemnly. "You should trust him more, you know?"
"I do, Shinou. More than I trust you" Murata said teasingly.
"You wound me, my sage." Shinou grinned. "You're no fun to tease with whenever you start to worry."
"Coming from the 'King of all pranks', I'm that easy to read, eih?"
"Yuuri will be fine. Well, that is expected from the Maou that I chose. You're just assuming too much."
Murata just continue pacing back and forth, ignoring Shinou for the moment, as he thinks of what might this 'bad feeling' that he's been feeling at the moment.
Happening at the same time,
Blood Pledge Castle
In the castle, the residents residing are doing their normal routines. However, these routines are somehow different than usual. Aside from the first born grumpy prince, everyone usually does their work in a not-so-quiet way. Today, the castle is peaceful. It is not the usual peaceful where,
The three maids ordering Dacascos around,
Gisela directs the soldiers on a regular march,
Anisinna running on some experiments where it always ends up exploding,
The laughter of Greta and Cecil spending time together,
The neighing from Ao and other horses,
The call of the Engiwaru bird calling out 'ENGIWARU~',
And Günter running around chaotically looking for His Majesty.
They are all not in their full mood to do anything, if they were given the chance, they wouldn't even move a muscle. Everyone seems to be in a gloom.
Then, something happened miraculously, where
Anissina's mechanical experiment did not explode or blow up the building. Even without a guinea pig to try it, it is already working very much accurately and effectively.
An Engiwaru bird (yes, just one, not a flock of it) flew past the castle, calling out ENGIWARU~!
The mirror that was handed to Greta as a birthday present from Yuuri and Wolfram shatters when she places it on Yuuri's bed-side table. The picture frame of Yuuri, Wolfram and Conrad shatters as soon as the mirror shattered.
Gwendal did a silly mistake on his document and suddenly felt the urge to smile, for a reason he himself do not know.
And, Günter suddenly crash into a vase nearby. The vase fell and broke. When he takes a closer look at the vase, it is a vase gifted from a nation as a sign of peace, and apparently, Yuuri fancies that particular vase.
At the same time, everyone in this peaceful castle thought of the sentence.
"Bad Omen!"
Unknown Place
Wolfram and both survivors of Ruttenberg fought with their heart and soul in order to stay alive. Yuuri, however is reluctant to hurt any living soul, as usual.
"Stop this!"
He begs for this battle to stop. He wants to talk about it and prevent bloodshed.
"Stop this PLEASE!"
He begs, yells and cries, but nobody gave any attention to the Maou.
"We can talk about this, so please stop!"
He is feeling the rage he never felt before, he is angry of how these people uses weapon to solve conflict.
He looks around in despair and disappointment. He saw blood and wounded bodies everywhere. He doesn't care that his companions has defeated most of the chief's men. He just wants to stop this battle.
"You guys, please stop this fight!"
Not even his retainers are listening to him now. To them, the safety of Yuuri is their top priority, even if it means ignoring his orders.
It rained suddenly. Drizzly.
With the last patience that he held within him, he yells out "STOP!", however it followed by a big earthquake where some of the chief's men were swallowed, wind gust where some of the chief's men were tossed all over the place and lightning where it struck loudly, made the fight cease immediately.
The earthquake and the wind gust stopped after the fight ceased down, and finally everyone paid attention to Yuuri. The rain continues drizzling down on them and the lightning struck repeatedly.
"YUURI!" Wolfram, Conrad and Josak called at the same time.
"The Maou makes his appearance finally." The chief mentioned under his breath. "The moment I've been waiting for." The chief grins.
"Sir Weller, Sir von Bielefeld and Sir Guriere, you three should know best when it comes to bloodshed, yet you three chose to defy me!" Yuuri's voice deepens, hair grow to shoulder length, the Maou's glare seemed scarier when he is looking straight into the three's. And for the first times ever, the Moau pointed a finger to his men. He fixes his glare to the chief, and the chief was stunned by the Maou's sharp glare. He personally didn't think that facing the Maou would be this scary.
"M-Maou, it is my greatest honour to actually meet you." The Demon King said nothing. He walks towards the chief and with every step nearer to the chief, he becomes scarier, fiercer and angrier.
"What do people call you, human?" The Maou said calmly, rain and lightning slowly stop. The chief was shock for his kindness, despite the catastrophe he had just caused.
"Yours Majesty, please. We are humans indeed, but we do not follow a human's path. We are just like Sir Weller there, half Mazoku half human. We serve only for you. I am Hildesvini James."
"What do you seek from me and from Sir Weller?" Hildesvini did not expected the Maou's mercy. He looks down, grasping the his fist, in which seems like he was in pain and regret. "I am sorry, Maou."
"What have you got to apologize for?"
Hildesvini gets up slowly and looks straight into the Maou's sharp cold eyes, grinning evilly. "For what is about to happen to you." Laughing evilly, he gives a gesture, whistling away that seem to be a signal for something. When the Maou finally understands what he meant, Conrad ran straight to Yuuri, calling out his name, alarmed. A red-headed arrow flew straight towards the Maou.
Yuuri doesn't have any experience in any combat fights, but whenever he turns into Maou mode, he is different. His reflexes are faster. An arrow flying towards him is not much of a big deal. With just a wave of his hand, an ordinary arrow will just be tossed away by the barrier around Yuuri.
…But…
…This is not an ordinary arrow…
…Yuuri waves his hand…
…The barrier appears magically around Yuuri…
…The arrow hits the barrier…
…Yuuri and his retainers thought that the arrow will repel…
…and will be tossed away…
…But…
…This is not an ordinary arrow…
…This arrow had a red-head…
…It pierced into Yuuri's barrier and the arrow flew straight towards the direction which will cause fatality…
…Yuuri's heart…
Yuuri's gasp echoes throughout. Terrified facial expressions are shown on Conrad's, Wolfram's and Josak's. Hildesvini stands up proudly with a laugh as how a victorious person would.
"HEIKAAAAAA!"
Shinou's Shrine
"Yuuri…!" Shinou called suddenly.
"What happened to Yuuri, Shinou?"
"Ulrike, check on Yuuri." Shinou said worriedly.
"Y-yes, Shinou heika."
Ulrike summons her crystal, she places her hands over the crystal and went quiet for a moment. Feeling for Yuuri's soul or maryouku, the crystal ball glows as Ulrike searches for Yuuri. Shinou and the confused Murata stood aside and not to disturb her concentration. Moments passed and the ball suddenly cracked and exploded. Ulrike was pushed back by the force, and started gasping; gasping painfully while grasping her chest. The expression on her face were devastated and agony.
"Ulrike?" Murata called softly. "What is happening, Shinou?" Firmly this time, getting impatient.
"My Sage… You were worried about something earlier, perhaps this is what caused it."
"Something big is happening to Shibuya now." Murata continued as if he knew.
"Correct. And this, my Sage, will be the toughest situation that we will have to encounter." Shinou who knew about what might happened, stood quietly aside, with an expression which Murata had never seen before in a long time.
