Chapter 25 - Chapter 22: (Explanation and Dance...)

"So...You're not from this world?"

"Correct."

"Are you some sort of reincarnated person?"

"Ohhh! Like in those stories!"

"Yep."

I gazed over at a smiling Alice with Zeke hanging from her arms. My head turned to the rest and could see various expressions, but the most shocking was how calm they were.

(Why are they so calm about it.?)

[They literally watched you destroy an entire block.]

(When did they see that?!)

[They were parked underneath you for a while...]

(…Why didn't you tell me?)

[Teehee~!]

Sighing, I gazed over at Shizuka who was giving me a beautiful smile. "Are you really not surprised?" Hearing my words she giggled, before running up to me, and hugging my right arm between her breast. "Atal-kun is Atal-kun~!" I smiled before giving her head a gentle pat. She smiled and brushed her face against my shoulder.

"I have a question!"

I gazed up and looked towards Miku who was giving me a beaming smile.

"Shoot..."

"Who is that."

She pointed her finger towards and everyone turned their heads to stare at Ophis. She was currently sitting on the hood of the Humvee and was kicking her feet back and forth. She perked up and gazed over at us with a tilt of her head.

"That is Ophis."

"Is she normal?"

I smiled wryly and asked Miku, "What do you mean?"

Miku raised an eyebrow and gave me a bemused smile.

"I saw him."

I swallowed slightly and could feel the shadows behind me move slightly. I heard the sound of a gun being cocked and gazed over at nervous-looking Kohta. He was currently aiming a shotgun at my back and was visibly shaking.

"W-What i-is that thing?"

I could hear a radio-like chuckle behind me as a hand gently grabbed my shoulder. Slowly, Alastor formed behind me as he leaned his head over my shoulder. I could see everyone visibly freeze up as a deep chilling pressure engulfed the area.

"That thing...Has a name my spectacle-wearing friend..."

Alastor stepped around me before conjuring his cane and giving everyone a very large smile.

"Alastor is the name and it's a pleasure to meet all your beautiful dolls!"

I could see everyone slightly shaking even Shizuka, who was holding my arm, was squeezing it tightly. "W-What are you?" Saya asked with a slight frown. Alastor turned his head with a half-lid look and said, "I'm a demon...A radio demon to be more precise!"

"A demon!"

The outburst was from Rei which caused Alastor to grin wickedly at her.

"What's wrong...are you terrified?" Rei snorted before saying, "Why should I be afraid of a demon?"

The air grew colder as a red haze seem to erupt around us. I could hear the sounds of bones cracking as Alastor edged closer to Rei. His body seems to grow upwards as his limbs grew longer and the antlers atop his head became sharp and long.

"You should be..."

His normal red eyes changed into black dials and his mouth opened up to reveal yellow jagged teeth. I could see various runes and symbols appear around us as Alastor continued to tower over Rei.

Rei herself was shaking violently as her legs wobbled and sweat-drenched down her face. Her eyes were wide with terror and I could see her starting to hyperventilate.

"Alastor." My words were short but were filled with warning.

Alastor froze slightly before turning his black dial eyes toward me. His smile on his face grew vicious as he mused, "Yes?" I frowned as Kane spoke within my mind.

{Contract between summoner and summon is breaking!}

"Quit fooling around."

Alastor tilted his head to the side as he walked towards me with slow strides.

"Why should I?"

I looked upwards as Alastor brought his face inches from mine.

"What are you going to do about it, my friend?"

I narrowed my eyes dangerously at Alastor, which in return, caused his smile to grow larger as a thick feeling of dread filled the air. "So, you want to have ourselves a dance?" Hearing his words I flexed all the muscles in my body as thick black tentacles seem to erupt from the ground around us.

"So, care for a dance?"

I felt myself smiling wickedly as a surge of adrenaline went through me...

"I don't mind a good dance..."

{Contract broken!}
