Pluto's Banquet - Allies of Shadows

After entering from the gate of Yingfeng Temple, the area occupying nearly three floors is called the Wuxi Temple, and it is used as a place to summon officials from the underworld.Whether it is the luxurious throne and the banner with the Pluto logo directly above it, or the huge Gothic chandeliers and those candles emitting lavender light, even the magic dragon decorations carved on the pillars.All these make this place look extremely solemn, but also extremely deserted.Because it has hardly been used since the events of "Purge Night".

But now, Laila from "Flash of Enthalpy", Tilea from "Water of Eternal Darkness", Ferris from "The Invitation of Colorful Wishes", Kruya from "The Sunny Sea of ​​Twilight", and Dano from "The Kai of Tingqiu" Lan, "The Leaking Hand of Dark Memory" Donghua, and Pluto's eldest daughter "The Night of the Oath" Sakuya were all standing in the hall of the Breathless Temple.

As the door of the temple was opened from the outside, footsteps followed, and Singisara, the king of the underworld, walked in.Every official present knelt on one knee and saluted Hades, while Sakuya bowed and saluted.When he walked in front of Sakuya, Hades directly took her away in the form of a princess,

"Hey... Mom, what are you going to do?"

Sitting on the throne, Hades kissed Sakuya on the cheek, which made Sakuya embarrassed.

"It's better to be my girl~ so obedient. Unlike some people below who secretly do bad things behind my back~"

The people under the throne did not express any opinions.

"But this time, you should still win. At least I planned to never tell you what you saw today."

After a pause, Pluto continued.

"What you saw down there before was my dark side."

After hearing this fact, everyone started talking.

"Hey hey, don't talk about it. I know you have a lot to ask, but listen to me first. The reason for this is of course for my final plan, but the separation of my dark side is not to worry that she will affect me Instead of completing the plan, it allows me to better plan every step until the end. I should have said this to everyone present...'My future is like sand in an hourglass, no matter what Which grain falls to the bottom first, it takes the same amount of time at the end', so now I'm trying to arrange the 'proper telling order' of the story, so there needs to be a plan that understands it all, and can make a difference for me Therefore, I decided to separate my dark side. This is the other 'me' you see today."

Pluto stopped talking, as if waiting for everyone's questions.

"...I really don't know what to say, but I want to ask a question first, master?"

Leila said.

"Ask, Miss Laila. I'm not used to being called master by you all of a sudden."

"What we did today...would it disrupt your 'story order', or even the final plan?"

"No, you can rest assured about this. No matter how the story is written in the middle, the final ending will not change."

"Then, what will our final outcome be like?"

"That is your ending, your future. I will not interfere. Although you are an indispensable part of my final plan, as things progress, there may be different changes."

"Okay, that's all I want to ask, thank you for answering me."

"You're welcome."

"Master Pluto, can you tell us about your dark side again? For example, what happened when she attacked us today?"

Ferris asked.

"Well, I apologize for attacking you today, but even now I don't think you should sneak into the underground. When the dark side was separated back then, in order not to make her too strong, she only got one A small amount of power. After all, she was just exchanging opinions with me as a bystander all the time. So many years have passed smoothly, until the territory of the underworld was changed not long ago, because too much power was consumed, When I was resting, she suddenly wanted to exchange the dominance with me, but I suppressed it in the end. But I still did not expect that the vibration of Yingfeng Palace made the seal below it weak due to the movement of the territory, and finally she was removed from it. The inside was opened. And she did some things behind my back, such as ordering Fujika to monitor Miss Laila's every move."

"I also want to ask a question, Lord Pluto."

"The Leaking Hand of Dark Memory" Dong Hua said.

"Well, yes."

"When we first entered the underground, we heard a song echoing in it. About that song..."

"Uh, that incident just happened to be heard by you, don't pay attention to it. Sometimes my dark side will listen to music, play games, watch animation or something when I'm free down there. Fortunately, I was heard by you, if I was seen by outsiders...why do you look so disappointed?"

Singisara looked at the few people below.

"...It's okay, it's just that we seem to think too much in some aspects."

Donghua replied.

"Now it's time to tell everyone about our situation, master?"

Tilea said at this moment.

"Yeah, that's the topic of today. Miss Tilea and I went to a world and met a friend there. Her special ability is that she can see some images related to the underworld. This time, she It made me see some images of my mother."

Hearing this, Laila and the others were stunned.

"Please explain in more detail, Mr. Pluto."

Leila said.

"Sorry, because when I saw these images, I understood a lot of things at once, but there are some things that you don't know. My friend used his special ability to see images about the underworld, to be exact An image related to me. When I went to see her this time, she showed me a planet covered by special magic, a world partially governed by the underworld and heaven, because this special magic covering the entire planet can make everything inside it and the person who created this magic is also my mother. In addition, my friend saw something besides this hidden planet..."

Pluto didn't want to continue talking, but she still said it now.

"A sarcophagus with the symbol of Hades engraved on it."

"Master Pluto! We will definitely find that world for you, please allow us to start now!"

said Lyra aloud, and got down on one knee, and the others did the same.

"Mom, I want to..."

Sakuya also said.

"Well, wait a minute. I'm glad to hear you say that, but if it's that easy to find, it should have been found years ago. I'll let you guys go anyway, but with me, because I have The 'key' that unlocks that magic."

"But why now..."

Lyra asked.

"I know what you want to say. Because I just know that I have a 'key' in my hand, but just like some props in the game need to be triggered, this 'key' has not responded. Until I saw it not long ago I just took out the 'key' to confirm that image. So..."

A screen surrounded by mist appeared in front of the throne.The screen is divided into two halves.

"My lord Pluto, all the order work has ended."

In the picture on the left is the herald of Pluto, "The Covenant of Love in the Wind" Youlan.

"Me too, Mr. Pluto! The Opdis can leave at any time!"

"Wonderful and imprisoned" Lotario shouted excitedly on the right side of the screen.

"Mom wants to use the Opdis?"

"Well, because I don't know what's in that hidden world, it's better to be fully prepared. Then, I'm sorry, I can't let you go with me this time, because I want to hand over the underworld to your management until We'll be back."

Xingisara looked at Sakuya and said.

At this moment, on the other side of the Doomsday Forest, Chikali, Ellie, and Hanami-Hanabi walked west along the road.

"If we continue walking like this, we will walk out of the forest of doomsday. Are you really not afraid of attracting the attention of ordinary people?"

Ellie asked.

"Instead of being noticed by the general public, I want some special people to notice. But forget it, the feeling is almost the same. You go back to Heluka's side first, I'm going to my mother's side. Thank you again can accompany me until now."

"Don't be so polite, whether it's from the perspective of superiors, subordinates, or friends... In short, don't keep doing dangerous things to make others worry."

After speaking, Ellie did a backflip, her body began to burn and then disappeared like ashes.

"...Your way of leaving makes people feel very dangerous."

Chikali complained.

But at this moment, Chikali suddenly thought that she should go to another place before going to her mother, so she walked to Hanami.A dark purple sickle appeared in her hand, the blade was like a crow's skull, and the blade was the crow's beak.From the hole in the eye comes a purple mist.

Chicari swung the sickle, and a large amount of mist emerged from it, surrounding the two of them, and then dissipated with them.

It reappeared in the Yangyan Rift. The main structure was basically built. It replaced the previous Magic City. The detailed planning of the internal structure, the coverage of defensive magic, and the separation of the skeletons of the buildings in the other world will begin soon. Waiting for work.

But even though there is still a lot of work to be done, a temporary room has been built inside the Heart Demon City for someone to live in.

"Owner?"

"Ciji lock" Yumi asked when she saw Chikari suddenly appearing in her room, and she also saw Hanami standing behind Chikari.

"Why is this person here too?"

"Don't be afraid, now she is just a 'doll' without self-awareness."

Chicari explained.

Hearing what her master said, Yumi seemed relieved.Behind her, a screen surrounded by mist is displaying the game "Sakura Fallen Fight" made by Lotario not long ago, but the game is currently in a paused state.

"What is the master doing here?"

"Let's see how you've been doing recently. You're also helping the professor to test that fighting game."

"Well... I've been a little obsessed recently."

"Well, when the project here is finished, you can relax and have fun. Besides...you don't want to be mad at me any more?"

"...Well, no."

After Yumi finished speaking, she turned her head away and started the game again.

The current battle scene is Chicari vs. Kunaka, and it is a tiebreaker after each of the two wins the next game.But although Yumi continued the game, she didn't use the handle to make any operations on the Chikali she was using, and Kunaka in the game kept attacking Chikali.

"Why don't you attack, hey, what's wrong with you?"

Chikali asked, but Yumi didn't answer, but watched Kunaka defeat Chikali with a big move, and then she turned off the game.

"The biggest advantage of this game is the high degree of reproduction of the characters, but I won't play it now. Master, is there anything else~"

Yumi asked with a smirk, while Chikari lowered her head.

She is still mad at me.

Chikali thought so mentally.

"..."

Without speaking, he walked up to Yumi and held her in his arms.

"Owner?"

"..."

Still did not speak.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"...I did this for your consideration. Woohoo..."

Yumi never expected Chikali to cry, and her eyes suddenly blurred.

"Master, woo woo woo!"

"I'm the last person to face this kind of thing, but I can't tell you all about it, so... please understand me?"

"Yeah, I know, after contacting the master before, I have been blaming myself for what I said, but I dare not face you...... I'm sorry master!"

"Don't apologize to me, I will feel even worse. When this is over, I will meet all your demands."

"Let's talk about that kind of thing later, and even though you said that person is just a puppet now, we still feel a little uncomfortable being heard by outsiders."

"Well, okay. I came here just to tell you that you should try not to go to other places besides here and back to the Doomsday Woodland during the recent period. When will the project here be completed at the earliest?"

"As long as there are no accidents, the work can be completed before the Blood Cherry Blossom Festival begins."

Yumi replied.

"This time is really delicate. Well, in short, you can go back as soon as the work here is completed. In addition, if you find anything unusual, please notify me as soon as possible."

"Hi, I see."

"Then I'll stop here today, and I'm going to take her to my mother's side."

"Well, the master should pay more attention to himself, and try to do as little as possible to make others disgusted."

"...Uh, am I that hated?"

"It's not about being hated, the master is already recognized as the top of the 'five most terrible people you don't want to provoke', and has been firmly at the top for five consecutive years."

"Most, least want to provoke? 5 consecutive years?"

It was a shock to hear about these Chicari.

"Uh, you really have deep attainments in mental attacks. This is the most serious attack I have received today..."

While talking to himself, he walked up to Henami and waved the scythe again, and the two disappeared together with a large amount of mist gushing out.

At this moment, the conversation in Yingfeng Hall is coming to an end.

"Let's stop talking here today. Go back and arrange your work as soon as possible. If there are no accidents, I plan to leave in three days. By then, I hope that everyone will participate in this mission in the best condition, so let's adjourn the meeting now."

After that, except Pluto who did not leave the throne, everyone left one after another.Pluto's Nether Mist Stone also emitted light.

"Mom, it's me. Are you free now?"

Chikali's image appeared in the Mist Stone.

"Well, come to the Yingfeng Palace, I am in the Wuxi Temple."

After a while, the gate of the temple was opened from the outside again.

"Did I miss something important, Mom?"

Chikali and Hanami walked in.

"Anyway, even if you miss it, you will see it one day. Compared with this, what I told you before is really good."

said Singisara, and stepped down from the throne.

"But why do I feel that my mother is not happy at all? Obviously I can see my old alumni again~"

Hearing this, Pluto sighed, then walked up to Henami and looked her over.

"Is she a 'doll' now?"

"Yes, mother can write any new memory she wants."

"...seal all her memories with Ogme and Eureka, keep her character unchanged, and then make her completely obey me."

"Understood, give me a day or two to debug it."

"Then, this is what was agreed... a memory from my past."

A thick book with a golden border appeared in the hands of Hades.

"Just use your usual method to 'read' it. But you have to return it to me after reading it. I don't want to make a second copy of this kind of thing."

Singisara handed the book to Chikali with some reluctance.

"Hi, thank you so much mom. I'm so excited to finally see how you became the Pluto you are today."

"...Hmph, but I have some urges to bully you. Besides, I have something else to tell you. I want to leave the underworld with Ms. Lila and the others for a while, before the Blood Cherry Blossom Festival Come back. So, the underworld needs several of you to guard it together. But for you, there must be a side of the story that cannot be recorded in the first place. Then concentrate on recording the things on the underworld side, and wait for me to come back Let me see sometime."

"It feels like my mother has just said something very important."

"When Kunaka comes back, I will tell you the whole story, and this time the underworld is really going to be handed over to you for a period of time."

The conversation in the Breathless Temple finally came to an end.

The author has something to say:

Next episode preview:

Chikali: "In addition to management, we actually have to do one more thing, right?"

Singisara: "What's the matter?"

Chikali: "Preparations for the Blood Sakura Festival."

Singisara: "Yes, I will entrust this matter to you as well."

Chikali: "Then there are a lot of things to explain, and the Blood Cherry Blossom Festival is really not far away from us."

Xinji Sara: "So, say in advance 'You have worked hard~'"

Chikali: "Why do you feel that you have no sincerity at all..."

Xinji Sara: "Then please watch the next episode "Pluto's Dinner: Shadow Alliance", Chapter 22, Executor Da and Staying Fanda"
