56 The Jester

Fumio and Kotone then see Red take a step forward. And with that step, they see that he morhps his appearance to something that is absolutely out of their expectations.

Red has changed to what looks like the joker card from a typical deck of playing cards, only looking much more sinister.

His face looks like it is painted white with his lips and nose exaggeratedly painted in a mix of red and black. He is wearing what looks like a typical medieval jester's costume, only made of fine-looking fabric, and is colored bright red with golden checkered patterns on his vest and cloth shoes.

To top it off, with his gloved hands, he "puts" on his head, a 'Fool's Hat' that has three points with balls of gold at each end.

"You two stay here." He then orders his two students.

Fumio and Kotone notice that even Red's voice has changed; from its original baritone pitch to a high, slightly nasal one with a tinge of innocence and mischief on it.
