Another 10 Minutes had passed without anything happening. It was very boring and frustrating knowing how long we had been waiting and not seeing any seen of our host. Maybe it was our own fault for arriving so early, but still this is ridiculous!
Bored again, I sat down on the couch that leonaidis was sitting on earlier.
Azuma had gone back to his pillar at the edge of the room and meanwhile; Pocah was staring at her orb which seemed to have turned green in sanctity. Leonaidis and Ohsaka were talking from across the room but I could somewhat here them.
Leonaidis: So, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Leonaidis Biancho, Son of the biancho tycoon, Heir of the Neocian colonization society and many, many more businesses that my family owns.
He bragged as he shrugged his shoulders.
Ohsaka: ….My name is Ohsaka, Ohsaka Matsushiba. Champion of the Aikao circuit.
Leonaidis: Aikao? Must be hard being a champion in a virtual warzone.
He said.
Ohsaka: *sigh* You know, I don't think you and I are going to get along.
Leonaidis: Why's that?
Ohsaka: Because I have a feeling that you've never worked a day in your life.
Leonaidis: That's Rich coming from you.
Ohsaka: …?
Leonaidis: *sigh* Let's just go our separate ways, Saki. It'll be better for the both of us.
Ohsaka: Don't call me "Saki".
Ohsaka walked away, Not wanting to engage with leonaidis. She came towards me with a exasperated look on her face.
Cael: You two only shared like two sentences with each other and I can tell you're exhausted.
Ohsaka: *Sigh* I can tell why you don't like him.
Cael: Eh. It's not that I don't like him. It's that I'm not fond of him.
Ohsaka: ...That means the same thing.
Cael: You know what I meant!
I sighed.
Ohsaka: By the way, Where's yubie? She should have been here by now.
Cael: *Tch* Yubie is always late. She doesn't take anything outside of her little fantasy world seriously.
Ohsaka: I seriously do worry about her a ton. The girl seems borderline delusional at times!
Cael: Hmph. I think she's just a weeb.
I Joked.
Ohsaka: A weeb?
Cael: It's internet humor. I don't think you would understand-
Our conversation was cut short an air piercing sound.
*WHAM*
It Was The Sound of the door bursting Open As Someone kicked it ppen...
?: I have Come Mortals!
A loud Voice boomed Through the Hall.
As soon As that Sentence Was Uttered I knew Who it was... Yubie
I turned Around and saw her there, She Was Wearing A Long dress With a tiara placed on top of her head. She seemed way over-dressed for this, But in a way I think it suited her.
But Behind Her Was Someone I didn't Recognize,
A girl With Purple Hair And Yellow Eyes, She Looked startled By Yubie's sudden Burst Into the door. She Was Wearing A Flannel Jacket With A Wierd Insect Pattern on it, She seemed familiar to me but I didn't know why.
Cael: (Another Finalist) I Thought
Ohsaka: Well I'll leave You and Your girlfriend To it, then"
Ohsaka Teased.
Cael: The idea that me and yubie are involved; Mortally scars me.
I said to myself, Hoping she wouldn't Hear me
Ohsaka went to the other side of the foyer, while Yubie walked Over To Me
Yubie: How did You Get Here Before me?"
Cael: I decided to come on time. Like normal people.
Yubie: Hold your tongue, Snake! I wanted to be well-dressed for such an occasion.
Cael: You look like a princess…
Yubie: So? What's wrong with looking a little regal?
Cael: N-Nothing. You just look a little overdressed.
Yubie: I am overdressed or Are you underdressed? Hmmmm?
She taunted. I sighed because she had a point.
Cael: Was the tiara necessary though?
Yubie: This is no "Tiara"! It is a encirclement crown from the gods of Valjean.
Cael: dork.
Yubie: What was that?
Cael: N-Nothing.
Cael: Anyway, Who's the girl who came with you?
I asked.
Yubie: Hmm? Her? That's Julia Cinest. Another worth champion whom I met on my way here in the forest.
She explained as she flicked her hair.
Cael: Oh?
Yubie: Ye. She use to be a bug collector or something. I don't know, I don't keep up with peasants.
Cael: Could you be anymore conceited?
Yubie: Conceit is for the weak.
Yubie said as she turned her back to me. Speaking of which was fully exposed, causing me to look away awkwardly.
?: Your friend is quite the exquisite one.
Someone said.
The girl named julia plopped herself in front of me, much to my own surprise. She looked even more glamorous up close then she did from far away.
Cael: More like "Eccentric." I think she's kind of a dork.
I quipped.
Julia: "To each is who is his own." I like her Fantasy persona, It was interesting to hear about the time she slayed a demon.
Cael: It's not a persona. Yeah, She can be quite the charmer. (I guess….)
Julia: Hmmm~ She single?
Cael: W-What?
Julia: I asked if she was single!
Cael: I mean, I heard you but….. Isn't that a bit upfront?
Julia: In the insect-world, beetles decide if they want to mate within 20 seconds of meeting their partner. So why not the same for humans?
Cael: Because humans are not beetles…?
Julia: Not yet, Anyway!
Cael: Are you daft?
Julia: I just might be~ Depends on your definition of "Daft"!
She smirked. Somehow, I felt a familiar feeling to julia, A sense of deja vu.
Cael: You know, I feel we've met before.
Julia: Have we?
Cael: Yeah, Like… Recently. I recognize your name.
Julia: Well you might've met one of my siblings - Jessie, Jonah and Jermaine-
Julia was cut off by the sounds of coarse footsteps coming from on top of the stairway. The footsteps were slownand eerie,They sounded like someone who'd been in some armed service or other as there was a marching quality to it.
We all stopped and paused as we monitored the person coming from the right of the hallway upstairs.
It was the host, the leader, the mastermind - Von aries.
