Chapter 202 Clayman arrives

Later, everyone is back in their seats doing whatever they normally do. Ramiris is bragging about her new subordinates, Guy is sitting there with his eyes closed thinking he's all badass (he's not), so on, so forth.

Leon has been magically moved to his seat, even though he's still unconscious. And I don't mean someone moved him with magic, I mean no one touched him. He just suddenly appeared in his seat the moment I moved my attention away for a moment.

Leon isn't even conscious yet, he's still knocked out cold.

Mikoto is staring at Leon's body with an intense glare, probably wondering how in the high heavens did he get to his seat. It seems she has become slightly aware of how bullshit anime logic is sometimes.

The doors open once again, and most likely for the last time. Only Clayman and Milim are left from those attending. Remember, Carrion is presumed dead even though in reality he's not even a dozen meters away from me right now.

Seriously, how does no one realise this? Unless… they already know and are just apathetic to it? That's a more likely reason.

Anyway, walking through the doors is a man I can only think is Clayman, AKA the Marionette Master.

He is surprisingly handsome, I guess. He's got short pointy ears, grey-lavender hair and red eyes with decently sharp facial features. Only average when compared to everyone else in this room, but still notable.

But as soon as I saw him, I immediately grew annoyed at him. Specifically, it's his "holier than thou" attitude that is just oozing off him. His smug expression that looks like it's his natural resting expression is also ruining his face.

Another thing to note about him is the little fox he is carrying in his arms.

It's a small blonde fox with three fluffy tails.

.

.

.

Ooh! I remember! Fox girl incoming!

Shizu- "*Hiss*"

Holy shit, did Shizu just hiss? And not only that, but she hissed at the fox, not Clayman. Hell, she barely even registered Clayman's presence, keeping her eyes only on the fox.

Both Mikoto and I are surprised.

Mikoto- "What's wrong?"

Shizu- "… I don't like that fox… I can't really explain it, but I just feel like that fox will be a threat to my position."

Your position to what!? The mascot of Avalon!?

.

.

.

Yeah, that's probably it.

Rimuru- 'Well, you're already sharing the position with Illya, so it should be fine. Plus, you're only a mascot in your cat form. In your human form, you are more "beautiful" than you are "cute", so that doesn't count.'

I tell her through telepathy. Seeing Shizu freeze up without replying, I knew she's taking my advice to heart.

Mikoto- 'Rimuru. Stop talking.'

Ehh!? Why!?

Walking behind Clayman is a familiar figure that I haven't seen in what feels like a very long time.

A short figure with platinum-pink hair fashioned into twin tails and blue eyes wearing her signature Demon Lord outfit that wouldn't look out of place in hentai.

Milim Nava, AKA the Destroyer.

But there's something very obviously wrong with her.

She doesn't have her usual hyper, enthusiastic aura around her. In fact, she looks more like a doll than anything else with her expressionless face and dull eyes.

Both of them walked through the door one after the other when suddenly, as I expected, Clayman randomly turns around with a smirk…

And punches Milim.

It was a full-on punch too, none of that weak sissy shit. He threw his whole body weight behind it.

Clayman- "Move it, you dunce!"

Now, obviously, he's doing this for attention, to show that he can do this to Milim without expecting any form of retaliation.

And it worked too, judging by the completely bewildered expression of nearly everyone in the room, excluding Guy.

I've told Shizu and Mikoto about this before, to prepare them for this. But even with this knowledge, they still can't help but be shocked. I can even feel Illya squinting her eyes at this scene.

Meanwhile, Clayman looks around the room with his signature look of superiority.

Mikoto stares at the unreacting Milim with an unreadable face.

Mikoto- "… *Sigh* As expected, I can't do this…"

With a sigh, she gets up from her seat and slowly walks over to Clayman and Milim.

Now, if I know Mikoto well enough, she will probably make a fuss and throw the plan we had out the window.

I could stop her, but…

Meh, the plan was simply to follow canon anyway. Nothing important.

And so, without anyone to stop her, she eventually ends up standing in front of Clayman.

Her hands are on her hips, her stance is loose and unguarded. She isn't meeting Clayman's eyes and is instead looking towards the ground so her bangs are covering her eyes, preventing him from seeing her expression.

It's also pretty amusing since Mikoto barely reaches his shoulders in height.

Clayman- "What? Do you have something to say-"

Clayman didn't get to finish his words before Mikoto clenches her fist and sends it right into his chin.

*Crack!*

Fortunately for him, his tongue wasn't sticking out. Unfortunately for him, his mouth was open. So when Mikoto punched him with the fury of an athletic girl-turned-Demon-Lord backed up by her [Saitama] Ultimate Skill that also boosted her physical strength…

Well, let's just say that the sounds of Clayman's teeth nearly shattering as his jaw slammed shut wasn't pretty.

Huh… Well, canon is fucked. Oh well.

Clayman's body flies back a few meters before hitting the ground. After that, he continues to roll on the floor while making muffled screams as he covers his mouth with his hands.

Mikoto- "That's for punching my friend, fucker."

Mikoto says with a low voice while flipping him off with her right hand.

Mmm… Yup, I really love her.
