Chapter 22 – We're Not Just Some Pushovers of the Circle!

"Uuhhhh..." The two perverted duo had a hangover. They gripped onto the sides of the wall to prevent themselves from falling over. They had stared at the projected screen of the clairvoyance sphere the whole night. But it was all for naught as no one never entered the bath...

"I knew something was up..." "Uwah that was close..." "Haha serves you right bitch master!" "Tch. Say anything more and I'll send the whole file over to your brother once he get his phone." "Nya! Y-You wouldn't dare!" "I will!" "Jokes aside are you going to be alright Akatsuki?" "Nah in the end I decided to ditch this operation. I have something I want to do." "Eh and that is?" "I think you three are enough to handle this. The thing I want to do is to see the edge of the world." From what Amaterasu had told him last night the very edge of Eden is a beautiful sight to behold rivaling that of the underwater waterfall at the Mauritius Islands of Akatsuki's former world. They had shared their wisdoms of their worlds from culture to landscapes and the people that lived there.

"In the end it's just a selfish reason isn't it?" "I told you before I live for hedonistic purposes. Besides I'm sure Inaba wouldn't mind it. It's her fault for not letting me do whatever the hell I want when I want." As if trying to justify his own cause Akatsuki starts to list out his sufferings of waiting around at the Nameless manor without anything to do.

"Who the hell would buy that sort of sob story...?" "Whatever I'm doing what I want! Unless you're saying that a couple of street thugs are too much for you three to handle." "Oh I'll prove it to you then. A mere street thug is nothing!" Theia puts on air as Shirayukihime sighs. Quo stood there quietly with a wary smile.

"Anyways let's part here." "Whatever so we're regrouping back here then?" "Yeah hopefully I'll be done by then." After seeing Theia, Shirayukihime, and Quo off. Akatsuki turns to face Amaterasu who has recovered from her hangover.

"I will find something there to revive the land right?" Yes the real reason for Akatsuki's sightseeing of the edge of the world is to find a reward that can revitalize the lands of Nameless. First and foremost their budgets for food are not infinite. It would be really helpful if they can grow crops. There are a bunch of mouths to feed back in the manor after all. Getting by on a daily basis is already proving to be difficult. But the children were putting up with it. Though they may not show it they were quite hungry every day. It only makes them feel even worse knowing that they cannot contribute to the Circle's revival by participating in games. However, should the field be revived not only can they feed themselves but they can also sell off any surplus to gain some revenue.

"I can only point you in the right direction. Rest assure I can guarantee that you'll find something in at the edge of the world. It is a place where some major gods gather after all." "Hmm, I'll see what I can dig up then." "Best of luck to you then. Speaking of which..." "Yeah." A cold gale blows pass the 144th shop of Soleil.

"It has to be a bunny girl suit!" The third topic they discussed last night had to do with Inaba's attire. And that is the finally conclusion that they came up with. Already the tailoring of the said outfit is underway.

"Yes once this is over and we get her back I'll make her into Soleil's show girl!" "That will you cost a pretty penny but I'll go along with it at a discount price!" "Very well name thy price!" "Starting wage is 1000 gold a day!" "Cheap! I'll take it!" "Seriously what is that boy up to now...?" "Who knows?" Shirayukihime and Theia walked the streets like yesterday. Quo was taking up the higher grounds for observation. "The edge of the world..." A place where many powerful gods dwell. Eden is a floating island paradise. But the place below it...not many return from to tell the tales but to the people up here they call it the Underworld. Not it was hell but just no one really knew what was under there. Some species with powerful keen sight characteristics have identified a few things. There are super monsters down there. They are probably some sort of Guardian Deity. It's difficult to tell as the Underworld is covered in a blanket of dense clouds. The only time a puncture occurs is almost every blue moon.

"I think Akatsuki is the only human that's daring enough to go down there should he feel like it..." They can just imagine him falling down to the Underworld on purpose while laughing.

Definitely he is an idiot who would do that...

"Still just what is Inaba doing getting kidnapped and taken away?" "She must be quite lonely at this point. Also..." "Why did we call her a hare?" It was something that Akatsuki decided on but they had no idea just how Inaba is related to a hare. They did recall something from last night's talk about Inaba's true identity being the Hare of Inaba. Without the same set of knowledge as Akatsuki they really can't make much of a connection...

"I feel like this Circle wouldn't be able to function without him..." "That bitch master is quite a monster..." "What is it?" They turned around to face the three white robed figures with a smile. This is it their task has started. After listening to the pretentious pleads of the white robed figures Shirayukihime and Theia agrees to help while acting hesitant. Readily accepting to help will only make them appear suspicious. Following this they were lead to an alley invisible to the eye.

"Hm?" The exit is also blocked. Theia and Shirayukihime were locked in a pincer attack without a way out. Quo stood up on the house's roof above the alley ready to assist should the need arise. But she didn't feel the need to as she saw the two girls take out their Armament cards.

"Red handed." "Red Queen!" The Divine Authority under the control of Theia is the Vampire Princess. Calling upon its power rose thorns rise up from the ground and attacked the enemies in the back whipping them into the air!

"Gah!" "Blizzard!" A snow storm to the front for those blocking the exit. Instantly they were frozen into a block of ice!

"We're not just some pushovers of the Circle!" They boldly declared their standing in the Nameless Circle with pride. Akatsuki is not the only capable one of the Circle who can get the work done.

"Nicely done." Quo leaps down to the alley and beacons some subordinates to help take the wounded kidnappers and the block of ice away. "We'll interrogate them to make sure they cough up the info. In the mean time you two can take it easy."
