Ibaraki on a Rampage

... ...

...Hmm. I can't find Shuten...and Luluhawa is getting boooring...

...But it doesn't seem like Master is gonna leave.

He's just been cooped up with Jeanne Alter working on something shady.

...I'm so bored! I'm tired of running around...I'm even tired of eating...

I want to do something more...you know...oni-ish!

Well hello. How did you end up all the way here? This isn't the kind of place you can just wander into...

Hm? That voice... Is that you, BB?

Sure is! So, you think Luluhawa is pretty boring, hmm?

I've been playing nonstop for a week! Of course it's gotten boring! Especially now that I've already conquered the mountain!

Oho, iiinteresting. So you still know how much time has actually passed even without being aware of the time loop, hm?

And here I thought instant gratification was the only thing oni cared about.

In that sense, you're actually pretty earnest, huh.

I can't tell if that makes you less oni-ish, or more.

Well, either way, this works out nicely.

If you like, I'd be happy to make your Luluhawan experience more fulfilling.

Really?

Ayup. Just leave it to BB. Now watch as you turn into a pig♡

What!?

Oh, sorry. Force of habit.

Now watch as you gain an adorable organic (not really) swimsuit that will sow chaos like nothing else♪

Wh-whoa! I don't know what's going on, but my heart feels like it's dancing!

Even my body feels as light as a feather. I feel like I could trounce Tsuna in his prime!

...Wait, scratch that. Fighting Tsuna in his prime would still be a frightening proposition.

Hehehe. It looks like your new Spirit Origin makes you more easily excitable.

Okay BB, what is it you want me to do!?

Well, since you asked...

Hmm, hm hm.

Oh, that's easy! Consider it done!

Okay then, I'm off!

Yaaay! There are few things better than seeing Ibaraki leaping without bothering to look♪

Besides, what's the point in a time loop if you're only going to repeat it once?

Don't think you're going to get away with just one go-round, Senpai. You're going to experience this week at LEAST a hundred times!

Okay, here's the direction we'll go with the book.

Don't be an ass. Of course it's gonna sell well.

But we're aiming for something much better than just selling well!

...Freakin' duh. I came up with it, dummy.

？！

Master! We've got an emergency on our hands!

What, they don't knock in your time? You could've barged in on us changing, you know.

？！

Ibaraki's going berserk out there!

!?

Mwahahahaha! Mwaaahahahaha! I knew I would enjoy being in a swimsuit! It makes everything more exciting!

I don't even care that Shuten's not here!

(Munch, munch!) (Chomp, chomp!)

My swallow's nest with coconut milk!

What do you want me to say!? I'm a foodie!

However, since my impeccably elegant instincts are telling me it's dangerous to stay here, I'll let that slide so I can get outta here!

Well, you can't have any, you hear? Not a drop! Especially since I don't even have it anymore!

？！

There you are, Master!

Hehehe, no fair that you get all the fun while I'm running around Luluhawa like a chicken with its head cut off!

Uh, I mean...

All this is your fault for leaving me alone this whole time, Fujimaru!

But now that I'm wearing this swimsuit, there is nothing I fear! Nothing!

Well, Master? What do you think of it?

Go ahead and tell me what you really think! Not that there's any doubt about what you'll say!

It does, doesn't it? Still, you're very astute, drawing attention to that! Hehehe...

Yes! It totally does, if I do say so myself!

I don't think I've ever seen her look so proud before.

Ibaraki? If you keep leaning back to look down your nose at us, you're gonna end up falling on your ass.

Nuh-uh!

？！

So what's the deal here? Why're you doing this?

What do you mean why? I'm an oni!

What other reason could I possibly need to go on a rampage? Especially with Chaldea picking up the tab.

Huh!?

Fou!?

Well, why not? I'm an oni from the land of oni, after all.

Now I get it. You just want attention, don't you?

N-no I don't!

I'm just tearing this city up to show that I'm as oni as oni gets!

And once I'm done, I'll rename Luluhawa "Shuten"!

Welp, she didn't come up with this on her own. Someone talked her into it. No reason to hold back, though. Let's take her down hard.

Y-yes, that does seem to be the only option.

Ibaraki, I can't let you hurt Chaldea's reputation like this. You need to settle down and behave yourself!

So, you would challenge me, huh!?

Then I shall meet you on the field of battle with a style befitting this kick-ass swimsuit!

Hehehe, hahaha...!

Wha...? Why...why isn't this a raid?

Well, you know... Those are kind of a pain, right...?

Mwahahahaha! More! I wanna rampage mooore!

My vacation has only just begun! I'll be back once I've regrouped!

...Hmph. If oni is measured by how much trouble they cause, there are none greater.

Master, perhaps our best course of action would be calling in the prefect, Lady Raikou, and enlisting her expertise to handle this oni problem.

I don't know. I'm not certain bringing in the prefect wouldn't just make things...a lot worse...

I'm more worried about the prefect running into Ibaraki while she's out on her rampage...

Fou...

Oh? My, oh my...

...I smell an insect afoot...

Perhaps this is a sign that I must return to my duties as a prefect...
