I don't have a beta, and English is not my first language, so, of course there will be some misspelled words or grammatical errors. Please, if you spot it, leave a review/comment and I will do my best to fix it. Thank you.

I also have now twitter. Just check einnosekai.

I open my eyes and see myself back in the blue cage. I notice that one of the chains that covered my body breaks and falls to the ground.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room." I hear a feminine, delicate voice.

"Congratulations, prisoner. You have completed the first phase of your rehabilitation." Another voice, identical to the one of the first, is more grotesque, echoes as well.

"Who's there?" I ask, scared.

"We'll be watching you closely, Prisoner." They both say at the same time.

"I do not understand why the 'Master' wastes time with someone who is defective?"

"Me neither. But unlike him, we librarians can see the hearts of the Wirdcards."

"Defective? Wildcard?" I ask, and I get scared when I feel the cage shaking and a crash of something slamming echoes around.

"Shut up, prisoner!" The groaning voice screams.

"At least he's not as annoying as the other prisoner."

Another prisoner?

"Pay attention, prisoner. It's not just you who owns the app for Metaverse."

"And, the other is already aware about Eros, your other identity and will do everything in the future to harm you."

"Stay tuned, prisoner." They both say at the same time, and I nod.

"Quick, we need to go."

And I close my eyes, feeling my mind regret back.

"Kunogi." I listen and see President Babicheva at the entrance to the school. "Meet me in the student council room on break."

"OK." I say, surprised.

...

"President?" I ask, entering the room.

"Oh, right." She gets up from her desk and walks over to me, closing and locking the door. "Sit there."

I obey, sitting at the table in the center of the room, and I notice that she sits opposite me, with a serious expression on her face.

"Normally, I would not believe that there was any possibility of dealing with Professor Monteiro's subject without the director's intervention. But seeing that bizarre castle is giving me a little hope." She says, looking me in the eye. "Maybe you don't know, but since I took over the presidency, I've received a number of anonymous complaints involving the teacher. I tried to confront the school's principal, but he just ignored me."

"I will do my best to resolve this situation, President. After all, my expulsion is also at stake." I say, crossing my arms. "As soon as classes are over, I intend to start the castle invasion."

"Okay, so I want you to take me back there." She says, scaring me.

"What?" I ask, putting myself on my feet and tapping the table with both hands. "I can not put you in danger!"

"I'm not weak, Kunogi. I do karate." She says, making me sigh.

"President, I do not think blows given by 'normal' people are capable of causing damage to those entities." I say, making her look at me with a strange smile on her face.

"Then protect me." She says, and I find myself releasing a long sigh.

Oh, boy ...

"My... It's taken far too long. Forgiving him was never the option... Such is the scream of the other you that dwells within... I am thou, thou art I... We can finally forge a contract... There you go... Nothing can be solved by restraining yourself. Understand? Then I'll gladly lend you my strength. I'm Carmen, the fire of the pandora box that gives you the ability to seduce. and distract your enemies. "

wait, what?

Suddenly the woman in red with a cigar in her mouth, a torn in hand and trampled on a man with a face of heart appears and is absorbed by my mask, which now gains a red outline. At this very moment, I hear Phichit scream.

"Eros, watch out!"

Before being hit full in the head, losing the senses at the very moment that I hear president Babicheva shout.

...

Settling in a cell, probably in the dungeon of the castle.

" Eros, are you okay? " I hear Phichit and I see Necronomicon floating outside the cell.

"Yes, the dizziness is passing." I say, approaching the door and seeing a padlock locking it. "Where is President Babicheva?"

" She was taken to another corner of the castle, " Phichit replies. " Oh, and do not call me by my name, Eros. Call me Anteros. "

"Anteros?" I ask, laughing as I open the lock with a lockpick and out of the cell, already noticing guards patrolling the corridor.

" Eros younger brother, according to Greek mythology, " Phichit replies, laughing as well. " It suits us, doesn't it? "

"All right, Anteros, I need you to go to the president and see if you can use the bombs I created to distract the guards from hurting her." I say, advancing silently.

" I'm on my way. " He says and I see Necronomicon moving away from me. " This is so much fun! "

Leaning against the wall, I advance to the guard.

"Show me your true form." I mean, ripping off his mask and jumping, already invoking ...

"Carmen!" I scream, touching my mask. "Domina!"

When I realize, one of the three shadows is asleep, and I smile. This will be very useful to me.

"Come on, Zorro! Magaru!" Change of persona, which already uses three attacks of wind, that defeat all three.

Advance facing more guards, until finally arriving at a Safe Room. I healed using medicine and like two sandwiches with juice, I felt stronger. I advance until I reach a huge hall with a vestige that catches my attention. Portrait of the teacher using crown and king hood and just that.

"Perverted." I mean, studying the place. "Anteros?"

" Yes, Eros? " I hear Phichit, noting that he is somewhat distant.

"I'm in a hall with a ridiculous painting. Where should I go?" I ask, or listening to choke.

" Aaaah, I know what you're talking about. " Phichit answers, and I laugh. " Go to the other side, not the stairs. "

"Ok." I mean, opening the door on the left.

" There you go to the entrance of the castle, Eros, " Phichit says, and I return to the hallway, opening the other door and finding a soldier, who does not belong to me.

Soon I defeat him and advance through the corridors of the castle, past the kitchen, banquet room and more corridors, until I reach what seems to me to be a tower. I go up the stairs, going to the next floor until I get to the next floor.

I advance through more corridors, until I reach another Safe Room, healing and feeding again. I advance through the chandeliers, and I follow cautiously, defeating more and more Shadows.

And then I come to a rather peculiar place. Rooms with the doors open, where I realize they are libraries. I make my way to a small corridor, seeing a gold trunk and listening to strange noises in the next room.

" Eros, are you in the main library? " I hear Phichit and frown.

"I'm in the golden chest near it." I say, advancing to the other room at the same time as Necronomicon knocks down a smoke bomb.

I realize that something passes quickly by me, at the same time I listen.

"Let me go!"

"President!" I shout, advancing into the living room and watching her being seized by a golden guard. "Hey, big man, why do not you come get me ?!"

He released the president and saw Shadow, already advancing toward me.

"Arsene!" Scream, after deflecting from his wind bout. "Eiha!"

I see him take the blow, and frown, using his walking stick to deal with his next attack.

"It's your turn, Carmen!" I summon the persona to use her fire attacks. "Agi!"

I continue beating the shadow, getting support from Necronomicon, which uses remedies to heal me. Until finally I defeat him.

"Are you alright?" I ask, panting.

"Yes and you?" She asks, looking at me with a scowl.

"Let's go to the next Safe Room." I say, taking a deep breath. "Try to stay as close to me as possible, and if I tell you to hide, do it immediately." I say, watching her nod.

I pick up a shiny medal, noting that it may be the key to opening the grid earlier. Mila and I moved on, until we reached the next Safe Room. I cured myself with medicines and like another sandwich with tea, extending it a little to her.

"Thank you."

"Are you alright?" I ask, noting her pale and trembling.

"Just scared, I was not expecting anything like that and it seems I'm messing up rather than helping." She says, and I smile.

"You might even think that, but if you were not taken, I would never find out the medal and end up not being able to continue." I mean, watching her smile.

" Eros , I believe there is not much left." Phichit says, and I assert.

"Okay, let's move on." I mean, getting up.

...

After defeating the opponents of the roof, I realize that the tower door is stuck. I realize I can climb the edge and do that.

"Try to follow me." I say to the president, jumping the edges until finally reaching the tower, pleased to see that she can keep my pace.

Arriving on a bridge, I weird the fact of having one of the statues of the Idiot King there. I look around the room, noticing the trap just as the president steps on the bridge, and I, instinctively, grab her by the waist and pull her.

" Whoa! " I hear Phichit, and I let out a long sigh. " Are you okay? "

"I'm sorry." She says, and I stand, reaching out for her. "And thank you."

"We are well." I tell him, looking back at the statue and activating the lever, it does not work.

"The eyes." I listen to the president by my side.

In fact, unlike before, the eyes of this statue don't shine.

" You have two pairs of eyes that were dropped by enemies in the previous room. " Phichit says and I pick them up, locking them into the statue and activating it, thus stopping the trap and clearing the way.

Finally we arrive at a large door, which is locked. I realize that I can climb the pillar and jump in the window, seeing the Idiot King there, giving orders to the soldiers. But first, I continue down the hall and smile when I find a Safe Room.

" Do you see the door ahead? " Phichit asks. " I believe it goes to the treasure. "

"How do you know that?" I ask, surprised.

" The cat said it ." Phichit replies, scaring me.

"Is Morgana there? Or rather, do you understand?" I ask.

" Do not ask me how ." He replies, and I laugh, advancing with the president into the room, where the same silvery smoke shines.

"That's ..." President Babicheva asks, approaching me.

"The primordial form of treasures." I mean, walking around. "With Phichit, it was the same."

"And now?" She asks, looking at me.

"Now we go back to the real world, we prepare the Calling Card and send it to him." I answer, lifting my cell phone.

" Ending navigation. "

~ x ~

Me and the president went on to Leblanc, meeting Yuuko and Professor Katsuki. Celestino welcomes us and I begin to work for him, observing how he prepares the requests and serving the clients while Phichit talks to the girls.

"Hey, Yuuri, what do you think about this?"

As I approach to clear their table, Phichit shows me the design of a Calling Card much better than what I did. "I'm thinking if I post the forum or if we give it to him at school.

"Make both, and print several copies of the front and the back, to be scattered around the school." Professor Katsuki, President, I count on you to spread out in the corridors of the first and third floors. Do the way you want. "

"How about you?" Yuuko asks, worried.

"I'll stock up on my drugs and think about strategies." I answer, moving away from them.

...

"Morgana, I'm afraid of failing." I mean, sitting on the bed and looking out the window. "I'm afraid to disappoint everyone."

"You're strong, Yuuri, much more than you think." He says, yawning. "I do not understand very well about your anxiety, but something tells me you can do it. Why don't you start thinking it's going to be okay instead of thinking it's going to fail?"

"Will be alright?" I ask, looking at him in surprise.

"Yes, it's going to be alright." Morgana lies next to my pillow, falling asleep.

"Maybe ... It'll be alright." I mean, lying down and falling asleep too.

~ x ~

The fight with Shadow Leonardo Monteiro is intense. The only advantage I had was using Yuuko and the president to distract him.

"Spare me!" Pervert King. he asks, terrified. "Please forgive me!"

"How many times and how many times did Chihoko ask you to stop, for you to spare, and what did you do?" Yuuko asks, with hatred.

"And Takeshi Nishigori, that you broke the same leg twice?" The president says, also angry.

"And Guang-Hong Ji, you forced to post fake criminal records in my name?" I say, removing the mask and revealing my face to him.

"What do you want? I'll do whatever you ask me to do, but please forgive me!" Pervert King. exclaims and I take a step forward.

"In the assembly that is to take place this Saturday, reveal the whole truth to everyone." I say, looking at him coldly.

"Then go to the police and assume what you did to Chihoko!" Yuuko screams.

"Okay, I'll do it!" King Idiot says, on his knees.

I pick up the crown, and put it in my pocket.

" Eros, get out of there! The Palace is beginning to crumble! " I hear Phichit. I look at the girls and at the window and take a deep breath.

"Girls, the Palace is crumbling. We can not afford to waste any more time." I mean, pointing to the window. "We have to jump!"

"Are you serious?" Yuuko asks, but I just pull them to the window, which begins to fall apart.

"Hold me tight and close your eyes." I say, grabbing them and pulling them to the window, without stopping running until we jump ...

"Completely closing the navigation for Leonardo Silva Monteiro, Shujin Academy and King of an Enchanted Castle for users Yuuri Kunogi, Yuuko Kirihara and Mila Babicheva.

~ x ~

I fall back hard, both of them in my arms.

"Yuuri, are you okay?" Yuuko asks, getting up.

I look from her to the president, with a smile on her face.

"Better impossible." I answer and get up, feeling pain. "Ow, that hurts."

Seeing the two laugh, I smile. Now we just have to wait for the result.
