Again I found myself on a pne, in premium css since I get my own room. I am heading to my sister's wedding and to distance myself from all the crazy shit...

  [Solo mission for Charlotte Silvi,There are strange activities near Mount. Etna, we want you to investigate what is happening there. From the rumors, there is an unidentifiable humanoid figure walking around, burning like a torch.You can decide what to do.

  — Agent Delta-07]

  Fucking dammit. I sighed.

  At least Mitsuki is here with me... she's in the toilet, vomiting. Pne isn't her thing. And Enna is outside flying above as always.

  What I love about premium is that I can smoke all I want, even if the attendants don't like it, I paid them big money after all.

  Nothing really happened st month, the academy was boring to me, and even if they are about to held a festival... which I am not interested in at all.

  However, I got to know more about the two friends I made, Asteral and Clementine. I could now easily mani— ehem, I mean sway them for my sake.

  Drinking some red wine, because why not, I don't have adult supervision here. And I am bored, my channel is still in the process of going back online.

  I still have this receipt with me... should I just use the heart of a Grand Array to make myself my own separate website? No, that would be too wasteful.

  A Grand Array was a living being as far as I understand. Forcing it to be a data bank would underutilize its capabilities, plus the chance it will rebel.

  As I swirl my gss of wine in my thoughts, Mitsuki came in with a nauseating expression.

  "Charlotte... when will we nd...", she waddles over to me, slumping into my p.

  I caressed her head with a smile, "Pretty soon, Mitsuki."

  I guess she can't handle it anymore.

  I stood up to let her sit in the chair since there was only one in this room, and one bed too. This is a 6 hours flight after all.

  At least I drank all the expensive wine, they aren't my cup of tea. And I can't get drunk, it took away half of the fun!

  I sighed and pick up a bottle of wine, and taking out some chewing gum from the drawer.

  "Drink a bit of this to warm yourself up. And chew some gum to keep yourself busy."

  "Mhmm...", she nodded and took them, drinking a bit and putting the gum in her mouth.

  Meanwhile, I got on the bed and continued to smoke and twirl my wine gss.

  Since this is supposed to only be an investigation and hopefully not something like meeting an ancient weapon of mass destruction, it's not like I'm going to meet Elderstahl in Greece.

  Well, I brought Quirinus and Walpurgis Festival with me. I am still lending Hoa Fallen Starlight after all.

  Speaking of which, the description of The Ivory Throne is a huge ass elephant with ten legs and thousands of tusks, also it can fly. It shouldn't be hard to find, but nobody could find it for some reason.

  That's for ter.

  Now I have to think about what to get for Deliah's wedding... I could always gift her money because I am rich as fuck. But that wouldn't be too good of a gift.

  Well, that's why I arrived 10 days early for the wedding. Thinking of a gift, doing my mission, and... obtaining an official Leviathan Hunter license.

  I got a recommendation letter to be a Hunter from Albert already since I am way too overqualified to be one. So obtaining a license should be easy, the problem is how am I going to prove my kill?

  Moby Dick is a no, aside from Babel, nobody knew it had risen up since we jumped it. Avalon's whale is also a no since I vioted several ws before that encounter, I don't want to be branded as a criminal just yet.

  As for the problem with Alchemy, I actually sat down and comprehended Quantum Physics and Chemistry. I was able to find links, but nothing that led to True Alchemy just yet...

  And I don't think smithing will help me much, so my only option is The Golden Order... but she moved shop in a few days so I'll just have to get back to Las Vegas...

  As I was still deep in my thoughts, the coms went off.

  [The flight will nd shortly in Athens, thank you for choosing Magician Arline.]

  "Mitsuki, the pne is about to... nd...", damn, she's drunk already. I can see her staring into space, unresponsive to my words.

  I got up and spped her in the face.

  "What was that for?!", she pouts, awake from her drunken state. I didn't hit her that hard, it was more like a tap than anything.

  "We are about to nd, get your bags ready."

  For our luggage, we had Enna pick them up for us ter. And I did bring my sportbike with me since I am not willing to let other people drive me around.

  Not long after, we nded at Athen National Airport. Then we were led to a private room, where we sat down and enjoyed some snacks while waiting for Enna to get us.

  Hmm... these cookies are quite nice, but as always with sweet food, it's too sweet for my liking. And I must be the only one to compin about how sweet something that's supposed to be sweet is. I am always left unsatisfied after all, no matter what I eat.

  Only food I cook for myself can make me feel satisfied. That's why when I lived with Mitsuki and Hoa, we all had different palettes and took turns cooking.

  Hoa enjoys salty food, to the point it burns the tongue. We banned her from cooking after she first cooked her meal.

  Mitsuki enjoys seafood and protein-heavy dishes, an overall bance meal.

  While I choose food on a whim, a steak day or pork day is fine with me, but I do have a preference. I enjoy giant insect meat, it's tender and has a mild taste to it. The other two don't enjoy eating insect meat so much, I don't know why. Eating the weak is the right of the strong, there is no need to be put off by it.

  Aside from my compins, Mitsuki is enjoying the snacks and drinking tea.

  "The tea here is quite nice! You should really try it!", Mitsuki smiled, enjoying the snacks.

  I shook my head, "It's okay, I had my fill."

  Taking out a bottle of wine I stole from the pne, I poured it into the teacup.

  "Hah...", I sighed before drinking.

  "Drinking so much isn't good for your body, Charlotte.", Mitsuki said, trying to comfort me.

  "I know, but there are a lot of things I have to do.", I put down the cup, taking out my cigarette pack.

  Investigate Mount. Etna, get my license, find a way to contact Surtr or a Harbinger of Life, and my sister's wedding.

  I should put off becoming a Leviathan Hunter for now... cut my losses and focus on the mission first. For the safety of humanity after all.

  Knock Knock!

  Hm?

  "Come in.", I waved my hand.

  Enna entered through the door, with our luggage in her hands.

  "Miss Enna! Sorry for making you take care of our stuff!", Mitsuki stood up, smiling as she always do.

  But Enna on the other hand, burst into tears, "Finally! Someone cares about me!!"

  That's quite rude.

  "Charlotte has been hard on you? I know she's quite evil! So please bear with her!!", she began to encourage the Fallen Angel.

  "She treats me like a sve!!", she cried out even more.

  Because you are one.

  "Charlotte! Please don't be so hard on your bodyguard!", Mitsuki said to me.

  "Hm, okay.", I pced my gss down, "You guys go find a hotel first, I have some business to take care of."

  Taking the briefcase Enna picked out, and the hat in my luggage, I gave them a bow before heading outside of the private room.

  "Can I come?", Mitsuki asked loudly.

  I just smile and look back, "It will be quite boring, it's just some investigation so I doubt I'll be there for long. So have fun without me, and if you meet my sister, say hi to her for me."

  "Hmm... alright!", she looked a bit dejected, "Just come back early, alright?"

  "I will, just send me a message when you find a nice hotel. You don't need to worry about the price, I'll have that cover.", I waved at them before disappearing into the crowd.

  Well, not really since I am pretty fucking tall now and I look pretty stand out with my trench coat and hat. It looks like I belong to the mafia.

  At least there are a lot of people with different shades of silver and blue eyes. I don't stand out that much.

  Despite eyes looking at me, I headed out of the airport and found myself in the garage. My sportbike should be somewhere around here...

  Wandering around for a bit, I found my sports bike just transferred down.

  "Excuse me.", I approached the staff, he had silver hair and a deeper blue than my eyes, "This is my bike, can I take it here?"

  "Oh, of course!", he nodded, "Do you have any verifications?"

  I pressed my watch, and the engine roared. It freaked out the staffed, making me chuckle a bit.

  "Heha, this baby is a bit loud.", I commented.

  "That confirmed your ownership, do you have any papers?", he asked.

  Oh shit, I don't have a driving license or any paper about the sport bike...

  I ced my words with Euphoria, "You will hand me my bike without any further complication."

  Affected by my words, he nodded, "Enjoy a safe ride!"

  Brainwashing is convenient.

  And I rode my bike out of the airport, hitting off-road instantly into a ruin. This is pretty sad, to see these wrecked buildings from the civil war. I can feel them, the lingering attachment to the world of the people who once poputed this pce.

  Only an empty shell of what it used to be.

  I shook my head, this doesn't concern me. Then I began to chant.

  "By the Authority of the Witches, Consteltions, point me towards the path to Mount. Etna."

  And a spiral portal appear right in front of me, made of glittering stardust and Runes floating around.

  I revved my sportbike and went straight into the portal.

  Walpurgis Festival, Crown of the Witches, is a pretty fun God Syer. It can temporarily warp reality, forcing not just the World but the universe itself to fix the anomaly.

  As soon as I went through the portal, I quickly turned the sport bike, pressing both breaks and leaning to the right... I almost hit a tree.

  This is a bit dangerous for my first ride with this Walpurgis Festival. But I am here at the foot of the volcano... it is huge, with smoke always billowing out and minor rumbles beneath the ground.

  It's a volcano alright.

  Now... where should I... start...

  I smiled, sensing a wave of heat behind me. I turned around, and the target was right there.

  Red and orange hair flowing down like va, eyes burning like suns, her skin color is pure white as if she is the purest being in the universe. And she is wearing some sort of golden Viking armor, with the tuff of fur on her shoulders burning like bonfires...

  Elderstahl, The Burning Bde... I just have that feeling. This is pretty dangerous, even for me...

  If what Judas said was true, this thing here has the combined power of eight pnets... she could be stronger than even Theia.

  And she is standing right in front of me...

  This is a problem.

  After a minute of just staring at each other, she just walked away with a neutral expression, leaving footprints made of ember and dust.

  I quickly took out my phone—

  !!

  I ducked down and left my sportbike lying on the ground— narrowly avoiding a sword ssh.

  "Okay, you've done it.", I sighed and stood back up, "I was only going to take a picture and go away, making this quick and easy..."

  She just continued to stare at me, pnting her pure obsidian sword into the ground.

  "Do not record me, as it is against my wishes.", she spoke in a regal and formal tone.

  "You shouldn't attack me...", I took out a cigarette, pced it in my mouth, and got Quirinus out of the briefcase.

  Because I see this as a challenge now... no matter if you are the strongest weapon of the strongest Jury...

  You pissed me off.

  "I am Charlotte Silvi."

  My cigarette lit up, burning it with Malice Fme.

  "Master of Mankind."

  A circle of fire formed around me, as my hair began to change to a bright red. While Elderstahl just stares at me.

  "Souls of the Void, Spirits of Infinity"

  Wisps began to float around me like spirits.

  "Ember of Ambition alight, Consume all in my Path of Glory."

  I touched my sportbike, changing its appearance and granting it life.

  VRROOOOMMM!!!!

  It circles around me, violently kicking up the dirt to be turned into more fire. And my eyes dited into glowing red, like the color of blood.

  "The Origin of Evil and Destruction."

  Then red sparks of electricity began to crackle around, violently so. A stray spark snapped a tree in half, as my world... began to be painted. And a cape of fire dawned upon my left shoulder.

  "The Inferno of Human Passion! Bzing the Trail for all to follow!!"

  The reality around me began to overp, trees partitally stripped of their color, dirt became grey, stone turned brittle, all repced by a chalky texture. Even the pure blue sky was tainted by colorless streaks.

  I smiled, "This is my Style of Wickedness!!"

  Everything lit on fire around me, not the pure familiar red fme signifying destruction, but a beautiful blue inferno.

  Ah~ I can feel it... the evil and fury of mankind calling out to me, leading me to a deep dark path... a world of devastation.

  I can see why Sincir chose this path... it is so alluring...

  I feel my face getting hot, not because of the heat, but because of the emotions welling up inside me!

  Hehahahaha!!

  I can't believe I am blushing...

  But...

  The weight of human evil... it calls out to me. For that reason alone, I reject it.

  I reject the craving for destruction~

  I reject the love for damnation~

  To reject the instinct trained and inherited from the dawn of life...

  "Elderstahl, let us dance.", I said to it while blushing red with a wide smile on my face, one vile and wicked...

  It is what it means to be human.
