Chapter 11:

"Whoo… Well getting here was not that fun as I have imagined or hoped"

"Mister! You're so fun!"

"…Mhm!"

-Yeah, enjoy the misery of others you crazy little twins.

I have with me the twins each on both of my arms. And they're holding my neck for support. So anyway, as we made our way towards Lowee, under the guidance of our extreme lovely Ram, we were to get here with some monsters chasing us. You wouldn't believe how many of those fox with mechanical claws were chasing us. And because of that running, the time is 3 in the afternoon.

"…Next time, I'll bring my gun…" I knew the way here is bad but I didn't think it would be that bad.

"You two good?" I ask the twins with a slight nudge from me.

"Mhm!" Ram nodded.

"…But won't your arms get tired?" Rom asked.

"I'm pretty strong, and you two are light so I'm basically carrying nothing" it's true though.

"C'mon, let's get you two home" we walk a little ways before we are stopped by the border guards.

"Hold, passport please" not again. Wait... don't they recognize these two?

"Hey, do you not recognize these two twerps?"

"What are you saying?" ...bingo.

"You idiot! Shame on you for not recognizing the nations CPU candidates!" I shouted at the soldier.

"CPU Candi-! I'm sorry sir and madams for not recognizing!" the soldier saluted, and the rest followed suit.

"This is a sign of disrespect! I should report this to the goddess!"

"…!"

"Hehe…"

"C'mon Ram, don't laugh…" I whisper at her.

"Alright, I am a forgiving man… BUT! I will only let this slide if you drop down and give me 200 now!"

"2-200!" the soldiers gasp.

"Is there any problem?"

"Sir, no sir!" the guards goes in a push-up position and started their 200 push-ups.

"Don't stop even if we're not around, got that!?"

"SIR, YES SIR!" easy to fool, and the twins resorted to holding in their laugh.

We cross the border and officially entered the 'fun theme' of Lowee.

Lowee is a snow filled country. As such, it's always snowing whenever possible. But this time around, it's not snowing all that much anymore. The temperature has risen a little, it's still cold but it's tolerable now. Plus everything is kinda colorful, whereas last time it had the most ridiculous of houses which are modeled after cookie jars and the likes. And what in heavens are these thing floating down in the sky with the snow? Sparkly rainbow thingies?

The only noticeable things that have changed are two things, one of which is that the whole city is under a theme park/fun house theme; hence, the reason why I called it colorful. You can even find a mini fun castle here being used as a house for the hell of it. And the second thing is…

"That's the Basilicom, Mister!" Ram pointed.

"…" what the hell am I looking at?

What I'm looking at is three building observatory, from what I can see anyway. The 'observatory' is surrounded by a purple wall which is surprisingly tall. One of the three main buildings have is cylindrical in shape, the other has huge side archway under it, and the last one seems to be a giant tower with an enormous, in terms of diameter, disc dome at the middle. That last building also has a neck above it which extends to a small scale saucer like disc dome. That building, again, also has a spiral design between the large disc and the very top small disc with various color blocks.

"That is one amazing Basilicom" last time it was a castle, now this?

"Mhm! And it's fun in there too!" Ram caught my comment.

"…Hey, mister put us down…" Rom pleaded.

"All right, too uncomfortable?" I put the twins down and asked.

"…It's embarrassing…"

"I see…" well, she is quiet girl, so being shy sometimes comes after that.

We march on towards the ridiculous Basilicom. Rom and I follow Ram kicking the snow on the ground as she goes. And as we walk, my eyes caught something that is outside of prying eyes. In the alley of two houses, is a graffiti which spelled in very bold letters.

CPU's ARE NOT NEEDED!

"…Hrm…" my instincts are never wrong. But from what I can tell, these protests are getting bigger. And if they're able to do graffiti then most likely they won't hesitate to make drastic actions as well.

"Upsie-daisy…!"

"Uwaaa…! Wh-What are you doing?"

"Giving you a better view" I carry Rom over my head and let her sit on my shoulder.

"Woooooow… Lowee looks so cool…" she said, awestricken by just a change in perspective.

"Grab on tight Rom" I started jogging and pass Ram after a few strides.

"Wheee…!?"

"Ram, last to get to the Basilicom won't get a cookie!"

"Hey! That's unfair!" Ram notice us pass her, filed a complaint and run along herself.

"Yay! I win…!" Ram cheered.

"Sorry Rom… we lost"

"Mm, Hm… It was fun"

After I deliberately made my own defeat, I put Rom down for reasons of being embarassed. The twins lead me inside the premises of the Basilicom. Inside, is large field containing the three buildings I've mentioned and some smaller buildings. There are also people here conducting their own business and they won't miss a chance to steal a glance at me, since I'm currently escorting the nation's candidates.

We enter one of the enormous buildings, in particular that one with a giant disc dome. And my surprise never ceases from me. Do you remember how the lobby interior looked like before? You know, that castle that looked like it was a rip off from King Arthur? If you do, then I'll be saving some time. The only difference is that there is no grand staircase rather, a grand elevator.

"This place hasn't changed, except for that elevator though"

"…You've been here before?"

"I did. But last time it was a castle"

"…A castle" Rom sounds excited.

"Ask your Big Sister about it"

Rom and Ram lead me in and the elevator lifted us up towards the 23rd floor. And when it opened I'm greeted by a very, very large hallway that could be inferred as 'a rich bastard is living here'. Well, a rich goddess is living here after all. The twins run along, familiar of the setting and pointed to a double door nearest to us.

"…Hey mister… we're going to play a prank!" Ram whispered. Well, I'm up for that.

"…What are we going to do?"

"…Just wait here with Rom" sounds easy enough.

"…Alright"

Ram entered the room and left the door open, probably for a quick getaway. And in a great loud voice that even the heavens could not match she shouted:

"SIS! YOU HAVE THE SMALLEST BREASTS EVER!"

"WHAT DID YA SAY YOU BRAT!?"

"Hehe…!" Ram runs away from the room as thunderous anger follows her.

"Okay… Rom, let's run again" I try to reach out to the twin but…

"Mm, hm. YA!"

Suddenly, in great timing too, Rom pushed me from behind just as Ram had ran out. This made me get in the way of a goddess's rage from her sister. As such, I don't want to be killed after all, I quickly react and make a step, twist my body and slammed the door shut. Since the door opens outward.

*BAM!* *BAM!*

"GUAH!" well, that's a comedy.

"WHAT THE HELL!? WHO THE HELL CLOSEDTHE DOOR!?"

"Nice to see you too Blanc"

I open the door and pop my head in. I see Blanc in her usual demeanor on the floor feeling her head. Blanc stares at me, her blue eyes fixated on me. And adding effect to the drama her cap fell off but was unable to get any attention from its owner.

"J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-!"

"Good to see you, Blanc"

"JARED!"
