Chapter 39 - Chapter 1: Ai Hayasaka Wants to Resign, and Also Wants to Cry

[Log: You felt the odds of winning were very low, so at the last moment, you packed your belongings and ran away. Ability Gained: Death Crisis Perception. When you are at the crossroads of life and death, your intuition will warn you.]

"This is just terrible." Looking at the last setting change opportunity that had been completely wasted on the log, Daniel sighed helplessly.

Turning back to look at Albedo, Shalltear, and Aura, who were re-communicating their perceptions, and Artoria, who was warily sizing up the three of them, Daniel nodded.

Yeah, that's right. If personal attributes were to be digitized, his own moral value would definitely be in the negatives, and shockingly low at that.

To defeat an enemy with a low moral value, one's own moral bottom line must be flexible enough to compete with theirs.

Only children care about the process; adults only look at the results.

Except for exams.

However, what kind of world is this new world?

It looks like the courtyard of some wealthy family.

"Who goes there!" Except for the oblivious Daniel, the other four all surrounded Daniel, looking toward a certain direction with vigilance.

"...You guys, you just suddenly appeared from mid-air, right?" Not long after, a girl wearing a maid outfit appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"Human?" Albedo, at the front, frowned and sized up the other person.

"Weak limbs, looks completely harmless." Shalltear put away her vigilant stance and even had the leisure to yawn.

"Shalltear! Have you forgotten about being mind-controlled and becoming a neutral wild monster before!" Aura just couldn't stand Shalltear's lax attitude, "Be careful about overturning in the gutter again and being forced to betray our master."

"Shorty." Shalltear, having had her sore spot poked, had a vein pop on her forehead, but she still withdrew her lax attitude and turned her gaze back to the girl.

"Say, could your name be Ai Hayasaka?" Daniel asked, eyeing the girl with surprise.

"How do you know?" The girl, Ai Hayasaka, took half a step back and asked cautiously.

The way these people appeared just now was already terrifying, and what made her feel even more so was that the woman with wings on her back seemed to have shaken her wings just now; those things are the real deal!

These people might really not be human!

Can't let them discover the existence of the young lady!

"So that means this is the Shinomiya Family's property?" Daniel scratched his scalp, a conflicted expression appearing on his previously troubled face.

"This is bad. I originally thought this was a battle anime world like before, but it turns out to be a youth slice-of-life anime." Daniel's flexible moral bottom line began to rise.

"King, this is a 21st-century Earth where there are no Magi, no gods, or fantasy creatures." Daniel reported to Artoria.

But he did not let Albedo and the others drop their guard.

After all, it is the Shinomiya Family's property; who knows how many people are secretly aiming their guns at them right now.

"Also, Ai Hayasaka, although I don't know to what extent you have raised the alert level of this courtyard, please ask those people in the shadows who are aiming weapons at us to obediently put down their weapons." Daniel looked at Ai Hayasaka and warned, "If you don't want this place to be drenched in blood."

Well, to be honest, among everyone present, except for Daniel and Ai Hayasaka, there isn't a single person who can be handled by a pistol or a machine gun.

As for heavy weapons... Heh, this is Tokyo, and it's the Minato Ward; he doesn't believe that a girl's residence, not valued by the Shinomiya Family, has the ability to mobilize heavy weapons in such a short time.

Ai Hayasaka hesitated, but did not issue this order.

"Well, to let you understand which side would be drenched in blood... King, could you please use your Mana Burst a little? Let's limit the attack range to this courtyard for now." Daniel suggested to Artoria.

"Very well." The holy sword was manifested in Artoria's hand.

With a flourish of the sword, more than half of the land in the courtyard behind them was instantly overturned.

Ai Hayasaka sat paralyzed on the ground in shock.

"If the King were to go all out, the coverage area might be about half of Tokyo." Daniel faced Ai Hayasaka with a smile again, "So, do you understand now?"

"Stand down!" Looking at the calm expression of the heavily armored woman in front of her, Ai Hayasaka swallowed and then issued the order in a hoarse voice.

"Alright, let your master come over. I think it is necessary for everyone to sit down and have a proper talk to clear up some small misunderstandings."

"Oh, right. If possible, could you have your chef prepare some more food? I am feeling a bit hungry." Daniel rubbed his stomach and looked at Ai Hayasaka as he said this.

"Same here." Beside him, Artoria perked up immediately upon hearing about food.

"Didn't you hear me! Human! Our master has spoken so politely, why haven't you gone to prepare the most magnificent and delicious food yet!" Albedo stared coldly at Ai Hayasaka and scolded her.

Ah, it seems this small misunderstanding will not be that easy to clear up.

Come to think of it, even if the alignment values are adjusted to positive, the temperaments of Albedo and the others are still not very good.

After Ai Hayasaka stated Daniel's conditions, the entire Shinomiya Family began to stir.

That is right, the entire Shinomiya Family, not just the people in Kaguya Shinomiya's mansion.

After all, heaven knows how many spies Kouka Shinomiya and Shikoku Untaka had planted in her mansion.

Of course, Kouka Shinomiya's biggest spy was currently right in front of Daniel.

"Come out, my lovely familiars." Shalltear gently clapped her hands. The next moment, large groups of mouse-like and wolf-like monsters made of black shadows jumped out from the shadows that suddenly spread from her, and bats, also made of black shadows, flapped their wings behind her. "Surround this mansion and establish a cordon."

"Tch." Artoria glanced at those shadow monsters with some displeasure, but in the end, she said nothing.

After all, they were not her subordinates, so it was not her place to say anything.

Moreover, she was also a beneficiary of the cordon formed by these monsters.

That made it even harder to say anything.

"What… are these?" Ai Hayasaka asked cautiously, her face pale as she watched the shadow monsters jumping around following Shalltear's order.

"Nothing, just my lovely familiars." Shalltear chuckled and replied, "After all, humans always like to go back on their word, so I need my familiars to keep an eye on things from the side."

"Shalltear! Correct your wording! Don't forget, Master is also human!" Albedo glared at Shalltear and reminded her.

"Ah, eh?" The vampire girl stood there blankly.

Is it an illusion?

Why does she always feel like the two colleagues beside her are targeting her?
