Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 29: Roiyarubōru part 8
At the Royal Ball, the medics used ammonia to wake up the chancellor after being given a boxing flurry combination by a bear cosplaying as Prince Naseem Hamed, and once the chancellor woke up, he was greeted by prince Charming and he asks him if he is okay, but the chancellor ranted that Naegi is the root cause of all this, but the royal advisor told him to stop using Naegi as a scapegoat since he is not around when the recent incident happened.
By then Sonia arrived, with Naegi behind her, and the Luckster is surprised to see Hagakure there, and he approached his classmate and asks what is he doing here, in which Hagakure told him that he recently joined a fortune teller club where the group engages in fortune telling activities, and by a STROKE OF LUCK, his club got a free working visa and are now doing business here in Novoselic, and he is starting to earn good after predicting that a PRINCE appeared.
Naegi stared in disbelief at hearing this and asks Hagakure if he is sure about the readings he made.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, Naegi-chi!"
"You better be sure…if your prediction turns out to be false.."
"Hey, everybody believed me!"
"Still…"
"Don't worry, Naegi-chi…I can give you a portion of my earnings…"
"No thanks…"
"Aw…"
By then the chancellor rudely interrupted and shook Naegi by his collar, accusing him and Hagakure of conspiracy, and the Luckster flatly denies, reminding him that he is recuperating at his guest room after being assaulted by a bear who cosplayed Samoa Joe while Sonia is keeping him company.
The chancellor would not accept this and insisted that Naegi planned this from the start, and threatened to have him arrested and deported, but King Nevermind stepped forward and ordered the chancellor to release the Luckster, going far as threatening to fire him on the spot if he continue his unwarranted antics, much to the chancellor's shock.
"Release him at once. Or you lose your job on the spot."
"Eh?"
"You heard me."
"You're majesty!"
"I mean it."
"But…but…"
"Now."
"!"
Prince Charming then stepped in and uses his CHARMS to quell off the tension and urged the chancellor to calm down, and surprisingly, the chancellor reluctantly backed off, and the tension subsided, but then some of the visitors started to line up seeing that Hagakure's fortune reading came true after a PRINCE showed up.
Naegi watched the scene in disbelief after seeing that the guests took Hagakure's words for it as the SHSL Fortune Teller told the guests what his fortune says, and surprisingly he was paid for his predictions. Sonia went beside Naegi and whispered to him saying that he has such an eccentric classmate who could read fortunes, though he said that most of Hagakure's readings can sometimes be accurate and some are not, saying that it has a 30% success rate.
"What? 30% success rate?"
"Yeah…"
"Still, it means that some of his readings can come true…"
"I don't know, Sonia-san…"
"At least your friend is enjoying…"
"I doubt it."
"Ha-ha…"
"…"
Out of curiosity, Charming stepped forward and asks Hagakure for a fortune, and Hagakure stared at his crystal ball, where a minute later he told the rival prince what he SAW on his crystal ball, which the others listened on, and Charming raised an eyebrow at what he was told.
"What was that…?"
"It's just what my crystal ball said…"
"A "demon"…?"
"Yeah."
"Is this some kind of a joke…?"
"Huh? What made you say that?"
"Are you trying to jinx a prince such as I…?"
"…"
Hagakure said that a DEMON would appear shortly, and while the prince finds it absurd and is starting to regret doing this, the chancellor came and gave Hagakure a cash worth 50,000 Euros, and the prince asks why give Hagakure such money for a worthless and outrageous prediction, but the chancellor smirked and said that his prediction has already happened.
"Because that fool said the truth."
"Huh?"
"He means it."
"Are you saying…?"
"There is a DEMIN here inside the ballroom."
"And where is it, my dear chancellor…?"
"Oh, right behind you."
"?"
The chancellor said that a DEMON is already here and tells Charming to look behind him, and when the prince did, he saw Naegi, and he got the drift, where he gave a rather malicious smirk, and Naegi sweat-dropped, seeing that he is being picked on again.
Sonia glared and clenched her fists, and is ready to step in but the royal advisor gently urged her to calm down, but she said that she could no longer tolerate the chancellor's antics, saying that he has gone too far ever since Naegi came here. She made it clear that the chancellor is ruining her life and she will not stand for that, especially when it is clear that he is harassing Naegi.
"Princess Sonia…calm down…"
"I'm already at my limit…"
"Just ignore him…no one will…"
"I can't take it anymore…he is pissing me off…"
"Let your father deal with him."
"…"
"Trust me, princess…"
"…"
Suddenly, the lights went out, which slightly caught everyone by surprise, and the king asks the royal PR to see what is wrong, but then the lights slightly went on, which was a bit reddish, and smoke began to appear, which the king wondered if there is fire, but the then then a mix of eerie and techno music began to play, where a figure appeared from the smoke.
It was white-furred, its face and body covered in mutli-colored paint and started to crawl in an eerie way as the music played, and when the music reached the chorus portion, the figure raised its arms in a sideway position, which the audience did the same, and the figure repeated the gesture which the audience followed suit, and there the figure continued to crawl and walk slowly, where it went behind King Nevermind, and as the guards are wondering if it is going to attack the king, King Nevermind was startled as the figure straddled onto his shoulders and raised his arms sideways twice as the chorus portion of the music is played.
After that, the figure got down and went to the center portion of the hall, where the music kept on playing, and after that, the figure removed what appeared to be a black-colored, confetti-like wig, and the lights went on, where the figure is revealed to be a white-furred bear. The bear is covered in black-colored face paint, wearing multi-colored short trunks, boots, long black elbow pads, and his upper body covered in body paint that has Gaelic symbol and words.
The bear is cosplaying as WWE wrestler Finn Balor, in his guise of the Demon King. The audience blinked their eyes at what they are seeing, until one of them read the symbols on the bear's torso, and believed that Hagakure is telling the truth about a demon coming here, causing a buzz which would soon become the trend on social media all over Novoselic and Europe.
"Look!"
"Those symbols on his chest!"
"They are Gaelic!"
"Then…then…"
"So it's true…"
"It's the Demon King!"
"Are you serious?"
"Goodness…"
The chancellor and Prince Charming stared in disbelief, seeing that another bear is becoming the center of attention, and the chancellor urged the audience to dismiss such scene, calling it a publicity stunt and accuses Naegi again of causing disturbance here, and Naegi sighed as he felt that he is just being used, and he whispered to Sonia that he will stay at the guest room so that the chancellor won't use him again as a scapegoat.
Sonia, however, urged him to stay and ignore what the chancellor said. She assured to him that the chancellor will be rebuked and tells him to just enjoy the rest of the evening.
However, the chancellor began to harass Naegi again, but the "Demon King" blocked his way, glaring at him and is itching for a fight, and the chancellor was not intimidated, and provoked the bear by slapping him across the face, which nearly everyone within the ball finds the action repulsive and distasteful, commenting that the chancellor has become an embarrassment within the Royal Family.
"Oh my!"
"That chancellor is too much!"
"Imagine…picking on that boy and now that bear…!"
"Has he no shame?"
"He ought to be fired…"
"He's an embarrassment."
"Throw him out…"
"Let the bear beat him up…"
The chancellor, however, was given a comeuppance as the "Demon King" retaliated, delivering some punches and kicks, and even several dropkicks which sends the chancellor on the floor, and the bear climbed on top of the cabinet and performed the Coup de Grace, in which he stomped on the chancellor on his tummy, and the chancellor gasped for air, which the audience clapped at seeing another superb choreographed display of action.
By then the bear glanced at Naegi, which the SHSL Luckster stared wide-eyed seeing that he is about to be targeted, as the "Demon King" slowly approached his next target, and Naegi waved his hands sideways and said that he is not involved here.
"Whoa!"
"…"
"Stop!"
"…"
"I'm not involved in this!"
"…"
"Don't look at me!"
"…"
But the bear ignored him and is ready for another assault when two zookeepers came and shoots the bear with a tranquilizer dart, which soon knocks the bear out, and they apologized to King Nevermind for the disturbance, which the king said it is okay, and as the bear is escorted away, the medics see to the chancellor, who is moaning in pain, and he wobbly pointed his finger at Naegi, insisting that he is behind all this and urged the king to have the Luckster arrested.
Suddenly a music song is heard where the lyrics are being sang which gives a hip-hop feel as the audience listens on as the song is being played.

By then a bear came in dancing, dressed like a pimp and following him are 12 women dressed in sexy outfits, which make them pass up as prostitutes, and King Nevermind was surprised to see this as the women are dancing around the bear, while the royal PR asks if they should have the guards disperse them, though the king is unsure seeing that they are not disturbing the guests and audiences as the audiences are enjoying the scene.
"Wow…"
"Now this is a party…"
"I'm glad I attended this ball…"
"Hope it's something interesting…"
"Are those girls prostitutes…?"
"Who cares?"
"Bring it on!"
"…"
The bear, meanwhile turns out that he is cosplaying as WWE wrestler The Godfather, and he approached Charming, as if he is offering the rival prince something. Wanting to show off his charisma, and to make the audience know that he is ACCESSIBLE and APPROACHABLE, he approached the women and tries to carousel them, telling them that his DOORS ARE OPEN and they can ask anything if they need help.
However, Charming saw something fell from one of the dancer's dress, which was an apple, and he slowly sensed that something is amiss, where he yanked the hair, and it turns out that it was a gay dressed in dress, and he saw that the rest were also gays, in disguise, and Charming twitched his eyes in disgust, realizing that he got suckered.
But before he could do anything, the "Hos" carried Charming in their arms and left the ballroom with the Godfather in tow, and as the door closed, everyone wondered what would happen next, until a shriek is heard coming from outside.
The door suddenly swings open and Charming is seen running in, terrified and traumatized, as he is only clad in his shorts, his whole boy plastered with lipstick marks and he hugged the chancellor, crying like a spoiled brat claiming that this INNOCENCE was taken, and the chancellor had to calm him down fearing that the rival prince might get into a nervous breakdown.
"Charming!"
"WWWAAAHH!"
"What's wrong?"
"Those gays!"
"What did they do?"
"They took my INNOCENCE!"
"Calm down!"
"I've lost my virginity!"
Nearly everyone inside the ballroom, except for King Nevermind and Naegi, giggled at the comedic scene they are seeing, and Charming was escorted out of the ballroom as he is getting hysterical, while the king ordered the guards to escort the Hos out of the palace.
The Royal Ball went on until it was time for everyone to go home, and as everyone retired for the night, Naegi is seen inside the guest room, laying on his bed and wondered what would happen next, as he now has only three days before leaving Novoselic, and wondered where this would lead to, as he wondered if he and Sonia are in a relationship or not.
He also wondered what would happen next once he gets home in Japan and how would his classmate react once told that he had a blast within Novoselic.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as the Chancellor got another dose of humiliation as he attempted to drive the bear away, who this time cosplayed an Irish wrestler, and though quick, it was enough to knock the chancellor down to the ground…
Also, Prince Charming wasn't even spared…as he got his share of comeuppance as he got VIOLATED (in a comical way). Nevertheless, the royal ball went on without problems and everyone retired for the night, while Naegi pondered on what to do next as he now only has three days before going back to Japan as his visa would expire soon…
