Pluto's Banquet - Allies of Shadows

In the bedroom of Pluto Xinjisara in the Cherry Blossom Garden, a pink-purple rectangular plutonium mist stone was placed on a small cushion on the bedside table.Now, this Nether Mist Stone is glowing regularly.

"Uh~"

Pluto reluctantly touched the Nether Mist Stone with his hand, and then a screen framed by mist appeared directly above the bed, and Alante's image also appeared inside the Nether Mist Stone.

"Mom, can you hear me... Uh, why are you still sleeping?"

"The previous power consumption was too great, but just give me a little more time."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you now, but I want to tell you first that Sakuya and I may not be able to return until a little later."

"What's the matter, what attracted you?"

"Is that true, it's just that Sakuya's mood is a little... fluctuating."

Pluto's drowsiness disappeared immediately after hearing this word, and he sat up from the bed.

"What about Sakuya?"

"Because of some emotional fluctuations, I ran away just now."

"Let me see the screen!"

Hearing his mother's serious words, Alante hastily turned the camera's perspective to Sakuya's side.

High in the sky, wearing a dark red cloak and a hat with two upward pointed horns, Sakuya, the eldest daughter of Pluto, "Sworn Night" is constantly waving a fist in her hand as if it has been magnified several times. An epee like a double black saber, the orange-red runes on the blade were glowing at the moment, and straight flames flew from the blade to the ground, and the ground at this moment was already a sea of ​​flames.In addition, there is a lizard with thick and thick scales and a short tail like a pine cone lying on her shoulder at the moment.

"Bring Sakuya back no matter what method... Hurry up."

Singisara said with a sad face.

"Understood, see you later, Mom."

After the communication was over, Alante flew to Sakuya, but Sakuya didn't care, and continued to release flames into the distance.

"Hey, Sakuya-chan, it's almost time to go."

"After I destroy this world, I will leave."

"Mom has something to tell you to go back quickly, be obedient~"

While speaking, Alante held down Sakuya's hand holding the epee.

"Don't stop me, I won't leave until my mission is completed."

"You are a defender, what you are doing now is exactly the opposite of your responsibility."

"You are wrong, brother. I am the Destroyer... After I have completed my mission, you can dispose of me as you like."

Hearing what his sister said, Alante felt that there was only one thing he could do now.

"Forgive me, Sakuya."

"what!"

Alante suddenly slapped her neck, and Sakuya fainted.Afterwards, Alante hugged her like a princess, and the two of them, plus a lizard, were finally ready to go back.

On the other side of the underworld, Eureka embarks on a brand new journey with Salio Qingren, who she just met recently.And the first stop they came to was the not too big building decorated with flames, but Eureka forgot its name, but she still remembered that it was for Kalamite who had just arrived in the underworld. A place to stay and new clothes is provided.

After pushing the door and entering, the two sat down at a table closer to the inside, and soon came a waitress with a pair of small horns on her forehead.

"Just order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

Eureka said cheerfully.

Sario-Qingren is like a child who hears his parents allow him to buy what he likes, holding the menu and not letting go.

"This charcoal-grilled Tobacco Jaw Dragon Burger looks delicious, please give me a copy~ I also need a glass of this shiny drink! Wow, everything looks good, it's hard to choose ah......"

"Haha, choose slowly, don't worry..."

Seeing Sario's excited look, Eureka also felt very happy.

"It looks like both of you have just come to the underworld, but why is there such a big gap in terms of clothing and strength?"

The words of the waitress standing at the table suddenly dissipated all the joyful atmosphere.

"Sister, why do you say that?"

Sario asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just expressing my first impression of your combination."

I didn't observe the waiter carefully just now. When Eureka saw the pair of small horns on her forehead, she remembered some of the knowledge she had learned in the lecture.

Although Eureka had forgotten that this race was called Issed, she remembered that apart from having horns, this race had good brains, but it could only use some simple magic, so it usually engaged in some service industries or businesses.

"The older girl here must have some relationship with some officials of the underworld, or with the royal family of the underworld. Otherwise, she wouldn't be wearing the clothes of 'Sky Silk House'."

The waitress continued.

"What is 'Sky Silk House'?"

Sario asked.

"Uh, the clothes in this shop are 'sewn' onto the body, and if you want it to disappear, you can disappear, and the damaged parts of the clothes will slowly restore. Some clothes can even be used as armor or something. That's probably it. ......Hahaha."

Although she was explaining to Sario, Eureka felt embarrassed.

"Although this little girl has just come to the underworld from her clothes, I can tell from your eyes that you must have experienced a very painful parting of life and death."

"Sario?"

Eureka stared at Sario with wide eyes, but Sario lowered her head and said nothing.

"Although what interests me the most is why these two people walk in here together, but I'm just a waiter after all, so... please hurry up and order."

The two people who were completely led by the nose then finished ordering, and before the waitress left, Eureka stopped her again.

"I want to ask, do you know how to use this money bag? The rope cannot be untied, and it is impossible to see how much money is inside from the outside."

Eureka took out the small dark purple cloth bag tied with a rope that she got before being blown away by Hades.

"It seems that I'm right. You really have something to do with the upper layers of the underworld. Although I don't know what this thing is called, you can think about money differently by holding it..."

The perspective turned back to Sakuya's side. In the living room of the Cherry Blossom Garden, Singisara was talking to Alante about something.Sakuya, who is still in a coma at the moment, is lying on the bed in the room of her mother Singisara.

"It's been so many years...it hasn't happened. I think you must have a lot to ask me."

Singisara sat on the sofa with one hand on her lap and played with her long hair with the other.

"Well, although I feel sorry for Sakuya, first let me tell you whether my guess is right or not."

Alante, who was sitting opposite, smiled wryly.

"Mom modified some of Sakuya's memories, and even erased me, maybe Heluka, Chikali, and even some of Miss Leila's memories. And Sakuya's existence itself is for one of your It was born with this purpose, right?"

Alante said so.

"Hi... As expected of my son, you are basically right."

Xinji Sara said plainly, and although she was praised by her mother, Alante didn't want to believe that this was the truth.

"Mom...but why does it have to be Sakuya?"

"Today I will tell you everything about her, although in general literary works this kind of thing is left behind..."

"It seems that there are some strange complaints mixed in."

"Sakuya was 'created' shortly after your birth, and she was also the first life I created by fusion. Although there are some soul essences from your father, they only account for a small amount. Part of it. The rest comes from me, to be precise, I have fused a spare soul so that future plans will not be disturbed."

"spare?"

"That's right, a spare. A spare soul created to ensure that the final plan will not be affected. To be precise, even if I die, my plan can be successfully completed."

"But, why did she tell me she was the 'Destroyer' before I brought Sakuya back?"

"She told you this too. No wonder I was wondering why you knocked her unconscious just now and brought back a comatose Sakuya. She is not like you. For example, Kunaka is the welcomer. Chikali is the recorder. These positions are determined after the end of the 'Game of the Gods', while Sakuya has been the destroyer from birth."

"So even if mother's plan doesn't work out, can you rely on Sakuya to destroy everything from scratch?"

"Yes, but then I gave up on this idea. Although I should have temporarily sealed her up after testing some necessary functions, but she is my child after all, so I asked your father's opinion ...Speaking of your father, this guy has never asked me what my final plan is. Every time I tentatively ask him if I can do something related to the plan He always said 'don't be so unconfident, this is your plan, don't ask me. I want to see the ending you want' or something...uh, beside the point. Anyway, after that I decided Change the plan so that Sakuya really becomes my child instead of a prop, a puppet. So some of your memories were erased before you knew it, but because the Destroyer was injected into her when she was created Her mission is so strong that I can't erase her memories. Fortunately, after sealing these memories, the new memories and this lively character added are very good. It is only necessary to check her memories occasionally. Stable work. But I was a little busy during this time, and those three people came to the underworld again, and forgot about it for a while, so that she recovered her previous memory."

"Will the past memories and the newly added memories of my mother coexist?"

"Yes, that's why she made the move to destroy that world after she ran away. Originally, her memory basically only had the priority of destroying everything, and the overlapping of the two memories made her even more confused. , if you hadn’t brought her back then, she would have started destroying all the worlds one by one. I’ll go and seal her past memories again in a while.”

"Uh, actually, the two overlapping Sakuya are right behind you, mom."

Alante said this suddenly.

"Wow!"

Turning her head to see her eldest daughter standing behind the sofa she made, Singisara almost jumped up from the sofa in fright.

"Uh...can you tell me about this kind of thing earlier next time, Alante."

"Well, but I think it's actually good for Sakuya to hear this."

Alante said so.

"Thank you, brother, for letting me listen to what my mother said just now...Mom, thank you too."

Turning to the front of the sofa and getting close to Xinji Sara, Sakuya no longer had the doll-like indifference when she lost control before.

"Don't say that, Sakuya, I feel very bad, actually I don't know how to face you now... please forgive me, okay?"

"I didn't mean to blame you. You and Dad gave me life. Whether it's the memory of being the destroyer or the new memory injected later, all of them are in my mind now. It's just that I suddenly recalled As a memory destroyer, I didn't know how to understand which one is my real memory for a while, so I was a little self-defeating and out of control for a while. But after listening to what my mother said just now, I decided to accept the two A completely different memory... okay?"

Sakuya said with a smile on her face.

"Sakuya! Woohoo! Thank you for forgiving me. At that time, my mother just wanted to complete her own plan, so... woooooooo!"

Holding her daughter in her arms, Singisara burst into tears.

The story here comes to an end, now go to other places in the underworld.

After eating and drinking enough, Eureka and Sario found a two-person room here after paying the bill with the small dark purple cloth bag.

From the mouth of the waiter, I learned that although the small cloth bag that Eureka got from Singisara cannot be untied, it can be taken out no matter how much money it costs, but what is taken out is not the currency of the underworld. , but a red note will fly out with a special pattern drawn on it, as long as you go to a special place in the underworld, you can use this note to exchange for the currency equivalent to the actual consumption.Moreover, as long as the bag is used by the first person, even if it is stolen, no notes will fly out of it, which is very safe.

Because this inn on the Devil's Fire Ridge is mainly to provide accommodation for Kalamite who has just arrived in the underworld, so some clothes are also thoughtfully prepared in the room. Sally, who was originally wearing a plain jacket and trousers Ou-Qingren also found a set of purple tights with the same color as her hair, and also matched some red checkered metal decorations on her body.

"Your attire looks like the attire of some thieves in the game~"

Eureka said.

"Uh~ Can't I wear it like this? I'm very satisfied with the outfit I'm wearing!"

Hearing Eureka's evaluation of herself, Sario subconsciously covered her chest and blushed.

"Haha, no, this dress is really beautiful, I really want to take you away... er, I mean, I want to introduce you to my companions."

"Sister Eureka has companions, I'm so envious, Sario has always been alone until after her death...but I'm still very happy to meet you, sister, when will you find those companions you mentioned? you?"

"Actually, I am now on a journey to find my companion. For some reason, I got separated from my brother and a friend of a brother who is one year older than me. Now I am wandering around in the underworld by myself."

"That's it, since they separated not long ago, they shouldn't have gone too far, right?"

"Uh, it's better to say that they were scattered, or blown away by a wind attribute magic, so now I don't know where they were blown, and there is no way to contact them, ha, haha... ..."

"Isn't that the scope of the entire underworld? After all, I don't know how big the underworld is."

"I don't know, but I still have a way."

"any solution?"

"Just like the protagonist in a role-playing game, triggering large and small events in various places, attracting the attention of others, it may be seen by my brother and the others, and then they should come to me."

"..."

"Don't you understand what I said, role-playing or something, games or something. We should have come from different worlds when we were alive, some vocabulary you guess..."

"Yeah, I can understand it completely. I just think that someone will actually use this method, hahaha. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be happy~ But it's true that this method is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it should be a more convenient method~ "

"It doesn't feel like you're praising me, but since you can understand, the world we live in must be about the same level of civilization, right?"

"Well, I still have some impressions of mobile phones, computers, games and so on. According to the previous soul guide, my memory is not damaged too seriously."

"Then there will be no obstacles when we talk, and although I am a little embarrassed, what the big sister of the waiter said just now is true? Have you experienced some painful life and death partings before your death?"

Eureka asked.

"It's about the same, but the 'separation of life and death' is a bit serious, it's just a little regretful. What about my sister? Is my sister really related to Pluto?"

Sario asked back.

"Well, I had contact with the Pluto who is here for a while before I was alive, but I didn't know she was the Pluto at the time. Later, after I found out that she was the Pluto, our previous relationship also changed, until finally I told my brother. , and the elder sister who was older than me died and came to the underworld. It was roughly like this before I met you..."

Eureka thought that Sario would continue to ask after simply talking about her experience, but Sario didn't do that, and walked to her side to hold her hands.

"So, let's set a preliminary goal now!"

"what?"

"Anyway, I don't have any plans right now, why don't I follow my sister and you to find the lost companions. It would be even better if there are new companions to join during the journey!"

"But there is no guarantee that there will be no danger during the journey. I don't want to involve you."

"Don't meet outsiders, sister. I have a feeling that following my sister will encounter many interesting things, and didn't my sister also say just now, to be like the protagonist in a role-playing game, the most critical thing in a role-playing game Isn’t it just that there are new companions joining the team?”

"Okay, then welcome to the new team member Thief Girl: Salio Qingren has joined the team. There are now two team members, a priest and a thief."

"Why a thief, I should be a swordsman after all, right?"

"Because my brother's position should be a swordsman, and that sister is an archer, so in order not to repeat, so you should be a thief~"

"Uh, why is this~"

This side has already made preparations for the next day's departure, and now, some people have completed the initial preparations for a certain job for future plans.

Somewhere in the doomsday forest shrouded in thick fog, Chikali threw a list-like paper in her hand after reading it. The paper burned before it fell to the ground.

Then she took out the Dark Mist Stone.

"It's me, Chikali. I have already received the goods, I didn't expect it to be so fast."

"You can actually do such a simple thing yourself, why did you ask me to help?"

The person who asked her in the Dark Mist Stone was the supervisor of the heavens, "Jingchen Zhiyou" Maybelle. From the screen depicted by the Dark Mist Stone, she saw her pale yellow slightly curly hair and the underside of her eyes. Some lovely freckles.

"Because Ms. Maybell and I are good at different things, so I'm asking you to help me this time."

"...Anyway, they are doing some strange things again, just don't cause trouble for your mother and the others."

"Hi, I know~"

After finishing the call, Chikali looked at more than a dozen wooden rectangular boxes on the floor in front of her, each with some spell-like paper stuck on it.

"Hopefully this time it will be able to record something interesting."

Chikali said so.

The author has something to say:

Next episode preview:

Eureka: "Da da! The second season first appeared in the preview of the next episode. Hello everyone, we met again, and this time I partnered with me to make the next episode preview and the new cutie in the second season Girl, Sario-chan please!"

Sario: "Hi everyone, I'm Sario Qingren. I'm very glad to have the opportunity to meet you in this session, but I still don't quite understand what the actual function of this session is. Episode preview' but it seems that there is no preview of the next episode's story every time."

Eureka: "You don't understand this. Now, the next episode previews of many animations are basically not entirely previews of the next episode."

Sario: "Really?"

Eureka: "Well, some animations adapted from comics and novels directly release the title of the next animation at the end, or directly put an illustration. Viewers who have read the original will naturally know what the next episode will be about. Part of the audience of the original work will also go to the original work to find out out of curiosity."

Sario: "Oh, so that's the case."

Eureka: "However, if it is an original animation, the title of each episode basically summarizes the general content of the next episode of animation, or it is just to reduce production costs."

Sario: "So as long as we try our best not to make the next episode preview during the next episode preview session, right?"

Eureka: "That's right! So please watch the next episode, Chapter 6 of "Pluto's Dinner Party: Shadow Alliance", The Perfumer's Tail."
