Kuhahaha

According to what Jeanne said, we should find the Count of Monte Cristo around here...

？！

Come on, everyone, let's go!

What's he laughing about, anyway?

He's a little, how do I put this...off.

Aside from how he makes no effort to understand others, I also find him very loud and irritating!

Damn, he really is loud! ...Wait, hang on. I think he's fighting.

And he's up against...

Hehe...

Haha! Hahahahahahahaha! I feel great! Super great!

Kuhahahaha!

Fiendish oni, raging wildfire...you would dance on BB's strings, would you?

But you are nothing more than the comic relief.

Not even the great blue-haired writer of fairy tales would ever pen a story with you as the protagonist!

...I don't know what you're talking about, but I can tell you're mocking me.

But you won't be laughing much longer! Come on out, guys!

Haha! So you think you can overwhelm me with numbers, do you!?

Very well then, I will just have to call in my own accomplice

？！

Khh... I know we are in the tropics, but you would still do well to take this more seriously, Master!

Ha! This is perfect. Now I can crush you all at once!

All you riffraff may as well be trash compared to me. Now come on!

Mwahahahaha, this was fairly entertaining. Farewell!

I went real hog wild this time around. I'll never forget the look on those couples' faces after I turned into a shark and drove them all apart!

I hope Shuten's proud of me!

Hmph, I'll never understand how these oni end up so twisted. Still, in the end, she is merely a lion with the mind of a house cat.

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

I mean that while she may present herself as a lion, she still possesses the heart of a tame house cat.

Forget it. Fujimaru, I presume you are here to ask me about BB?

？！

Heh. Then I take it you too have realized this world is caught in a time loop.

You know too, Count...!?

Yes, I do.

Strangely enough, it seems I bear some innate resistance to repeating worlds of this sort.

...Then again, it could be a skill that belongs to my class, rather than myself.

Perhaps those who came before me experienced world-ending cataclysms of an endlessly repeating nature...

But I digress. As a matter of fact, there is something I wish to ask you as well.

What is BB's goal? If anyone here would know, it's you.

？！

Heh.

A mere pretense. She would never create a time loop for something so simple.

Okay then, if you're so smart, what do YOU think BB's goal is?

I have not yet gotten that far. But, with all of you here, perhaps that can change.

My guess is that BB is the one who sent Ibaraki-Douji after me.

...Robin Hood, I would request that you lend me your cloak.

You mean my No Face May King?

That's right. You and BB are particularly ill-suited for one another...or is it well-suited?

Ill! Definitely ill!

Regardless, using the No Face May King would put you at considerable risk of being found out.

Not through any fault of your own, but merely due to a twist of fate.

Oh, yeah... I think I know what you mean.

In fact, I think BB's already got me pegged whenever I go out on my own...

...and that will only get worse if I try to track her.

That is why I can use it to follow where BB goes.

All right, you've got a point. Here, Count, it's all yours.

There you have it, Fujimaru. I advise you all to continue drawing your doujin while still bearing in mind what your true purpose here really is.

In the meantime, I shall handle Luluhawa's encroaching darkness alone, during the night...

And just like that, he's gone.

Still, it's very encouraging to know there's another Servant who's aware of the loop.

Hawaii's darkness... And Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes...

Hmm. I knew it. Something doesn't add up.
