Welcome to Chapter 27. In this chapter Kamito and gang arrive at Ragna Y's and begin their journey to the blade dance. Although a reunion threatens to ruin their fun.
After the incident with the Honchkrow's the rest of the trip went off without a hitch for Kamito and gang. Once they arrive they're led to a few carriages. Kamito and team are in one, while Ellis and her group ride in the other. Once inside the cape, the group discusses their plans.
"Nii-sama, listen, once we arrive we're going to purify ourselves in the lake, okay?" Muir says cheerfully. Unfortunately Kamito is distracted.
Snapping out of his daze Kamito responds, "Oh yeah, fine, go ahead."
Rubia whose disguised herself as Ren Ashbell for the rest of the tournament looks at her master in rare concern. "Kamito, what are you hiding from us?" Rubia says with clear concern.
"Nothing you need to worry about, Rubia. Just focus on the blade dance." Kamito says sharply. After that outburst none of the group seems to be eager to discuss matters. Sadly things only get worse for Kamito once they arrive.
Once they arrive everybody is staring at Kamito. Naturally, people are surprised that a young man is next to the strongest blade dancer. For the maidens here, this could be considered the worst possible scenario because their idol has a male in her presence and not just as a servant. As the halls shine with pictures of previous winners including Ren from the last time Kamito groans knowing things are about to get far more difficult.
The group soon separates from Ellis's team who went into their rooms. Now it was time for Kamito and crew to get their lodgings. "This way to your room ladies." A maid says as she escorts the girls towards their rooms. Unfortunately for the girls Kamito isn't brought along. "Sorry sir, even though you are a friend of Ashbell-sama, your room is separate."
Knowing things surely won't be convenient, Kamito intervenes. "That's fine by me. If you don't mind, I'll find some area in the forest that's not being used for the battles. I hope that's alright. Rest assured I'm not here to cause problems."
The maid, surprised at Kamito's calm actions, leaves for a moment to discuss matters with some higher ups. After five minutes the young woman returns with approval. Turning to the girls Kamito looks at is team with an odd softness. "Listen girls, we will talk soon. Go enjoy the purification and I will meet you later for the ball. I can't wait to see you girls in your dresses." Kamito says with a smile as he makes his way out. Presumably to build his house.
Although visibly upset, Kamito's team makes their way to their room. Fianna decides to brighten up the mood. "Come on ladies; let's go purify ourselves with Claire and the others. I know we all brought swimsuits to charm Kamito-sama, but trust me, we can do that at the dance."
The girls get changed and make their way down to the lake hoping to enjoy a simple purification ceremony. Once they arrive they meet up with Ellis and team, who are disappointed to not see the young demon along for the ride.
(AN: The girls from the regular story are in the same suits as before. Thus I'll only be mentioning the suits of the new group.
"Where's Kamito-sama?" Tiffania asks nervously. Tiffania is in an ice blue bikini that emphasizes her bust.
"That's right, I figured he would be joining us." Velsaria says slightly grumpy. Velsaria is in a sporty silver swimsuit much like the one Ellis is wearing. Clearly the sisters have similar taste in suits.
"Kamito-sama is upset about something so he won't be joining us." Rubia says with clear anger. Rubia is in a dark red racing swimsuit that emphasizes her body. (Think what Lisara Restall was wearing in the special for I can't Play H
"Yeah, Nii-sama is hiding something." Muir says matching the grumpiness of the group. Muir is in a simple red one piece with black frills.
"Now now ladies, don't worry, Kamito will be fine. Let's all relax now and enjoy ourselves." Fianna says with her usual tone the girls seem to agree without too much trouble. As the time comes along the group seems to relax. Fianna messes with Rubia and Claire. Velsaria teaches Rinslet how to properly swim. Tiffania and Lily race around and the rest of the group do their own thing. Things are going smoothly until all of the sudden Rubia senses something odd.
"Everybody, stop for a second. It seems we have a guest." Rubia tells the group.
"My my, your senses are even better then I imagined." A female voice shouts from the side of the river. As the group looks they spot a hooded figure sitting at the edge of the water. That same hooded figure removes her outfit revealing a young woman with orange hair. She sports a dark black racing bikini with blue stripes. If you had a close look at the girl, her figure rivals that of even Fianna, the bustiest of the group.
After noticing the women a telling look appears on Muir and Lily's faces.
"That explains why Nii-sama is so upset." Muir says with a look of irritation.
Lily who sports a similar look says the same, "Of course, it all makes sense now. It's been a long time hasn't it, Alice."
The young woman, Alice, from Sorja Khan's squad smiles at the two girls. "Yes it has, Lily, Muir. I suppose it's a good thing Kamito-sama isn't here." The young girl says an odd smile appearing.
"Hold on a minute." Rubia says clearly upset. "Muir, Lily, who is this girl?"
Lily solemnly decides to explain, "This girl is the number three of the instructional school "The Masquerade" Alice. She's a spirit beast user much like Muir. You never met her because she was out on a mission when you attacked the instructional school. You guys mentioned Honchkrow attacked the ship. My guess is Kamito recognized them as Alice's spirits." Turning to Muir angrily, Lily says "Come to think of it. Muir, how could you have missed the fact that those creatures belonged to Alice? You knew she specialized in darkness and water spirit beasts."
Muir says sheepishly, "Well...you see, I never paid attention to the beasts Alice used besides her top one."
"Anyway, Muir, Lily, it's time for us to have our reunion battle." Alice says placing her hands in the water. Gyarados come forth and attack. Alice yells as the great beast appears from the ocean floor.
Over in his cabin, Kamito has spent the last few minutes thinking about what's happened.
"Kamito, do you regret the fact that Alice wasn't there that day?" Restia says calmly.
"No, what I regret is the fact that I abandoned Alice after the instructional school was destroyed." Kamito says with a clear annoyance.
"What could you do? If you had stayed around you could've been killed by the spirit knights. Of course, had we known the Alphas Theocracy would come claim the students, we would've stayed and made them work for us." Restia says trying to reassure her master. "We figured that Greyworth and her team would attack. Plus if Rubia was discovered all kinds of headaches would've occurred.
"Oh well, nothing we can do for now. Hopefully Muir and group don't have to deal with her till the blade dance ." Kamito says with a smile although he's well aware the chances of that are slim.
"Seems we have our own issue to deal with, huh?" Restia says as the two sense a figure coming to their location.
Making his way out of his cabin a hooded figure appears in front of Kamito. "It's been a long time Master Kamito." The young man says revealing his face to the Demon Prince.
'Dammit, I knew she had that card to play and from the aura I'm sensing from him, Sorja played it.' Kamito thinks staring at the figure. "Hello, Ogami. It's been a long time." Kamito says towards the young man.
The young man takes off his cloak. Before Kamito is Ogami, a young man with dark black hair and dark black eyes. Wearing a white t-shirt and black jacket along with black pants, the most notable feature is the single glove on his right hand. "Hello Master Kamito. I take it by now you've noticed the heavy upgrade I've gotten." His black eyes shining a crimson red for a moment.
"I noticed, Ogami. So what are you doing here?" Kamito says with an odd sneer.
"I came to greet you and also to warn you. Right now, Alice is attacking your group." Ogami says with a small smile. "See you at the blade dance, Master. Oh, and tell the Calamity Queen I look forward to facing her." The young man says vanishing into the air.
'Shit! I have to go!" Kamito yells teleporting to the girl's location.
Back at the lake the girls are in deep trouble.
"Muir, Fianna, you two are the only ones who can fight her, so deal with this." Rubia yells with clear fury.
(AN: Because of the fact Rinslet still can't swim, she's liability in this battle. In theory Iseria could help, but they want to hide her as long as possible.)
"That's not gonna help you ladies, I can attack every one of you remember. Gyarados Devastation Wave." Gyarados shines as he controls the lake water and a giant tidal wave appears threatening to slam the girls.
"Not today Alice" Kamito shouts as he appears out of nowhere on the water. Black arts Aura Shield! With his shield cast Kamito protects the girls much to everybody's relief.
Although her attack failed, a massive smile appears on Alice's face. "Hello Kamito-sama, it's been a long time." The young woman says with a smile. "We'll talk more once we get to the dance, but for now, I guess I'll get going." With a disappointed, look the young woman recalls the beast she summoned earlier.
As the young girl leaves, Kamito relaxes for a moment and after confirming everybody's safety, teleports back to his cabin.
That's it for chapter 27. So Alice is revealed to everybody and Kamito confirms his fear about Ogami.
Kamito's black arts-
Thunder Force- This power drops a massive bolt of electricity at his opponents. Kamito first senses the targets with his magic and locks on to them. Finally he sends a burst of magic towards the sky, which drops the bolts on his opponents, giving them a massive shock.

Sword of Subjugation- Sword of power that when it slashes any creature, it forces the creature to serve the wielder.
