Minato hurled Hamuko onto the couch and scowled at her. "Such a fucking weakling!" The redhead was still knocked out after witnessing the carnage that had engulfed the hospital.
"HAMUKO!" Yukari came running into the lounge, her milky brown eyes widened in concern. "What happened to her?"
"Some psychotic asshole was running around, causing explosions and killing people," This brought a barely noticeable smile to his face. "He ran away and left Hamuko lying on the ground."
Yukari blinked rapidly. "H-How did you know that?"
Minato shrugged. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Why should I answer that!?" Yukari stammered.
"Why I should I answer your question then?" Minato gave a smile, patted the brunette on the back and walked away as Mitsuru and Akihiko came running into the lounge.
"Arisato!" Mitsuru called out to him but the fallen one simply ignored her once again and walked up the stairs. The older redhead wanted to scold him for ignoring her but she sighed and ordered Akihiko to bring some water to wake Hamuko up.
Minato listened to Hamuko sniffing downstairs and it made the Fool happy. He fell back onto his bed and pulled out the Velvet Key from his pocket. "This takes care of the doors in the alley and Tartarus," He pocketed the key again. "Gotta talk with that old man to keep her out of the room in her dreams."
"Well done on fending off Theodore," Nyatlathotep congratulated Minato who blew his bangs up. "Just a bit more time. Do whatever you want until then."
Minato reached out and grabbed a hold of his laptop. He logged into the school database easily using Mitsuru's ID. She was his girlfriend at one point in time and Minato totally took advantage of that.
He logged into the student database and skimmed through the profiles, looking for any new girl. "Done. Done. Done," He looked over Yuko. "Screwed," He looked over Fuuka. "Multiple times," He kept scrolling until he spotted some new black haired girl. "Ah, Rio," He smiled. "I can fuck around with her."
Just for the fun of it, Minato deleted Junpei's name from the database and tossed the laptop to the side with a merry laugh. "I'll make all of you suffer. Don't worry fuckers!"
Knock knock. The fallen Messiah groaned and sat up. He was just about to sleep. "Come in!" He yawned.
The door slowly opened to reveal Hamuko. Minato's half open eyes lit up at the sight. She was still quivering with fear and her aura so so pathetically weak that Minato felt a chill up his spine out of pure excitement.
"Are you okay?" Minato asked with usual fake smile.
Hamuko clutched her ribs and winced. "I think my rib is bruised," She swallowed the pain. "Someone kicked me hard."
"... To hell with him," Again, he could barely hold in a chuckle.
"T-Thank you for getting me back to the dorm," Hamuko gave him a smile, despite the pain. "How were you able to know what was going on?"
Minato shrugged. "Persona."
The redhead blinked. "Persona?"
"You summoned one that night, don't you remember?" Minato explained. "It's a special power used to kill shadows in the Dark Hour."
"... The headache wasn't anything special," Hamuko bit her lip.
"Shit happens," Minato smirked. "I'm glad to see you okay. Thankfully I got there in time."
This time, Hamuko blushed. "T-Thank you so much, Minato-kun."
"No problem, anything you protect such a pretty lady," Minato smirked again, causing Hamuko to blush again and turn her head away to avoid further embarrassment.
"Y-You player," Hamuko muttered to herself, regaining her cheerful smile.
"You better head back, the rest of them probably want some favor from you," Minato advised, leaning back.
"Um, I know," Hamuko replied, rubbing the back of her neck. "What about you?"
"I joined," Minato answered.
Hamuko nodded. "I'm joining in too! If I can help in making the world a better place then I'll do this with my eyes closed."
Minato bit back the rage that was building. "The world was dammed from the beginning." He muttered to himself.
"Did you say something?" Hamuko blinked.
Minato's face was cold. "The world will fore-" He shook his head. "Never mind. I'd like to sleep. See you later." He pulled a pillow over his face and began to snore.
"Sweet dreams," Hamuko gave him another smile and walked out.
"Stupid bitch," Minato snarled into his pillow. "Like she fucking knows!"
Hamuko joined SEES and Minato laughed his ass off after hearing about Ikutsuki from Mitsuru. Of course he did this back in his room.
Minato laid back on his bed and went to sleep. He was sure that the Velvet Room would be busy attending to Theo and wouldn't bring her back into the dreams so soon. Igor had limitations as well.
...
"You fool," Margaret scowled at her younger kin.
"Sister, he was acting for the best interest of our dear guest,' Elizabeth tried to calm her older sister down.
"Without access to the Velvet Room, Hamuko-sama is unaware of her powers or her role as the Wild Card," Theo sighed as Elizabeth patched him up. "I simply tried to hand her another key but HE came in between us."
Igor was quietly watching over the three.
"You cannot handle him alone," Margaret massaged her temples. "Not even I can."
"Perhaps if we initiate an attack at the same thing?" Elizabeth bit her lip. "It is safe to assume that he is no longer the one I loved." On second thoughts, the plan wouldn't work.
"I couldn't even fathom of him taking such a step," Margaret let out a deep breath. "He is the Messiah. How can he... do this..."
"What done is done," Igor spoke up, making the three turn towards the master of the room. "He has lost his humanity and simply teamed up with something so evil that his life will never be the same again."
"Nyarlathotep," Igor spoke slowly and it made the three siblings actually shiver. "He won't rest until humanity spirals into chaos. Minato is the perfect candidate for doing so."
"I propose we attack him at once and be done with this madness," Margaret spoke up. "We cannot allow a demon like him to live a second longer."
"Need I remind you what will happen if all of us leave master alone?" Elizabeth cut in, silencing her older sister. "We simply cannot leave master alone in a time like this. Nyarlathotep has risen and just because of that, this room is in danger of collapsing any second."
"Curse this all!" Margaret growled, stomping hard. "Why is this even happening?"
Igor sighed and materialized a cell phone which was made out of bones. "We are forbidden from helping our guest and exposing vital information but..." He began to dial. "We can attack against Minato. There is no rule for that."
"With the two joining forces," Theo sighed. "I reckon we should prepare an entire army."
Elizabeth bit her lip. "What happened to you..."
...
Minato laughed his way into class as Junpei was denied entry into the school building because of some error in the school database. They told him to wait for a week and just stay at home which the capped teen clearly despised and Minato very well knew that.
Minato flirted away during lunch break but he couldn't actually find the Rio chick anywhere. He sighed and went back to class and slept.
Hamuko was up fairly quickly after the summoning so it would be a while till Junpei joined. Probably a few days.
"Watcha thinking?" Hamuko broke him out of his thoughts by a poke to his ribs.
"Nothing much," Minato smirked. "You look stunning today, might I add."
The auburn haired girl cupped her cheeks. "D-Dammit, how can you say that with a straight face?" She muttered, feeling blood rushing up her cheeks.
Minato winked and went back to sleeping on his desk. Hamuko sighed and gave him a small smile. He was rather handsome after all and so she didn't mind.
Just as Minato exited the school premises, the voice in his head went crazy. "GET HERE! QUICKLY! MAKE HASTE!"
"Tch, fucking weakling," Minato got out of sight and teleported into the cursed room. He smashed the door open and ran inside. "The fuck is wrong with you!?"
"I sensed it," Nyarlathotep was sweating buckets. "We might have trouble."
Minato narrowed his eyes. "Speak up, fool!"
"Do not call me that!" The demon growled back.
Minato's blood boiled. He dare spoke back? "You are talking to the Messiah. Watch your damn mouth."
Nyarlathotep swallowed his pride and rage. He needed the persona user the most right now. "Alright, I apologize," A smirk came to Minato's lip but the demon ignored it. "I think those Velvet bastards have started the attack."
"I whooped Theo's ass sometime ago," Minato reminded. "Are they planning to launch an attack on me? I don't think so. They wouldn't leave that fucking hobbit alone in a time like this."
"It is..." The faceless one took a deep breath. "An entire army," He looked right into Minato's eyes. "I am still recovering my powers so I'm afraid you'll have to deal with other persona users on your own."
"They don't hold a candle to the fucking Messiah," Minato laughed and shook his head at the demon. "Weakling." He didn't bother waiting for an answer and just walked out.
Minato clipped on his headphones and hummed. "What's the worst that can happen?"
...
"I apologize but I simply see no gain in this," A pale teenager sighed. "We have enough troubles on your head as it is."
"My life is in danger!" Ikutsuki yelled at him.
"Watch your mouth," The teen replied. "Keep this civil."
The chairman took a deep breath. "Look, I will pay you whatever you want. Just eliminate this fool!" He pointed at his legs. "I won't be able to walk for a long long time because of that bastard."
"That is not our concern," The platinum blonde male simply began to walk away. Ikutsuki bit his lip.
"... I can give you power," The shirtless young man stopped.
"Come again?"
"You have to swear," Ikutsuki panted.
The young man turned around and gave an eerie smile. "Let us share a cup of tea over this."
...
Enemies were piling up for the deranged Messiah but he simply didn't give a fuck since right now since he was busy kissing some chick in the club. He danced around a couple of girls and drank some more alcohol and went back to the dorm.
He flirted with Hamuko and Yukari since they were on the second floor, gave a wave to Akihiko and went upstairs. "Shit is going really well..." He drank a can of mad bull and since he was bored outta his skull, he grabbed a hold of his laptop and began to play some online video game.
"Can we count on you?" Igor asked.
"I will protect her with my life," He got the answer.
"Good, I suppose you are the biggest hope we have," Igor chuckled. "It is somewhat ironic but I wish you the best of luck."
'I'll be seeing you," The guest disappeared.
Minato was busy snoring in his bed and Nyarlathotep was meanwhile, sweating buckets.
wow, 61 reviews in 6 chapters. Thank you all so much. This is the last chapter in the storage and we simply had to touch the other up and post it but the next one we have to write from scratch so please be patient and please tell us your thoughts.
Enemies are piling up as you can see, what will the former Messiah do? You'll have to wait for that.
Again, thanks a ton and hope you enjoyed it. See you later.
