South Africa

  There is something amazing about just traveling around, the freedom it brings just makes my heart race, well, my heart is already beating triple the normal rate but that's beside the point. Everywhere I go, everything I see, they will always change.

  A city you visited yesterday could become something completely different, a country can vanish tomorrow. Even if I rest, the world will keep going. That is the nature of time, a relentless stream that consumes everything.

  Well, Southern and Central Africa is the least affected region by my decration, especially the tribal people. Utopia performed one of his... "Special Trick", popping one of his drones in some sort of campfire and dispying information to the tribal people, giving them access to Argent Alexandria.

  He is dependable.

  "[Your Majesty, the Akashic Insurgency had reveal your identity as Sincire Apocalypse.]", he reported to me.

  Fucking dammit.

  "Utopia, five.", I commanded, clicking my tongue, "Tch, gotta deal with them some other time."

  "[As you command, Your Majesty.]", he complied.

  We are getting near South Africa, I can see the nd in the distance and... oh, coast guards.

  I went ahead and got the speaker on, and with a grin on my face, I announced, "This is the Argent Monarch of Humanity, make way if you don't want to incur my wrath."

  The boats decided to quickly evacuate, what is a boat compared to the combination of two of the most infamous warships in the Great War? KMS Bismarck and USS Enterprise, the King of the Ocean, and the Grey Ghost.

  Enna came in with a tray full of muffins and pced it on my armrest.

  "We are going to find Hoa. So you take the sky, Utopia and Mitsuki will follow me.", I ordered.

  "So like usual.", she stares at me with a deadpan expression.

  "Essentially, yes.", I nodded and took a bite out of a muffin.

  "Though I don't think we are going to need to look far.", I smiled, "Utopia, is there any wildfire recently?"

  "[Of course, Your Majesty. There are several wildfires spotted in the Kahari desert.]", he replied, then he added more, "[People had also reported the sightings of a rge white beast moving at an impossible speed.]"

  "Very well, we will park once we get to 100 nautical miles. Then we'll depart to South Africa."

  "You know, you could've gone to that desert from Namibia.", she pointed out.

  To that, I just shrug, "What's the fun in going the simple route? This is an adventure."

  Just like everything I do, going for the most fun path even if it is more challenging. I can live for as long as I want to, but at one point, I will have to end it.

  But not today.

  =0=0=

  Well, I should've expected this. The South African Marines surrounded me and my crew.

  Sitting on Utopia's mechanical shoulder with my legs crossed with a faint smile made these men hesitate.

  "Charlotte Silvi! You are under arrest for crimes against humanity!!", one of them shouted.

  My smile turned sinister, "From what ground can you arrest me? From what stance do you take? And what authoritative power do you hold to bring me in?"

  I raised the pressure, making them all nervous. Imperial Aura, haven't used it in a while.

  "If you value your life, then drop your weapons.", that was my final warning—

  My phone rang.

  "Hold on a moment, please.", I held my index up as I took out my phone, it was my sister.

  "What's up?", I start the conversation.

  Deliah spoke with a tone void of emotion or care, [Charlotte, I'll be giving birth soon. Care to join in?]

  What?

  I kept my surprise to myself, "Of course, so when?"

  [Hmm, around the end of November if everything is going according to pn.], she said.

  I hopped off Utopia, casually walking toward the Marines, "I can make time, so do you want any gift?"

  [Just give me your credit card like st time.], she went for my card instantly.

  That's probably for the better since I'm a self-centered person and all, I can't think of any gift for my sister and my...

  "Sounds good.", the soldiers spread into two lines for me to walk through.

  [Oh, and that stunt you pulled, that was a stupid move.], she said with a neutral tone.

  "For you, it seems like it, but I've been waiting to do that for a long time.", I chuckled as I stopped, making a distance far enough.

  "Do you have anything more to say?", I smiled as I signaled to Utopia to get to my side.

  He obliged, walking toward me. Even if it was just his 3 meters body, it is still imposing as fuck.

  [No, that's all.], Deliah replied.

  "See you next time."

  [Bye.]

  I ended the call... and I can't contain my excitement and joy anymore. I turned to Utopia, who, as always, had been listening to my call.

  "I'm going to be an aunt!!", I announced to the whole world with a wide smile.

  I turned to the nearest soldier, who flinched due to my gaze.

  "I'm going to be an aunt!!", I shout at him.

  Will I have a niece or a nephew? What will they be like— shit, they are going to be a demi-god. Fuck, I need to make preparation for the Divine Outburst—

  "ENOUGH!!", the man who seemed to be the leader screamed at me, "You are a fugitive—"

  But he cowered under my intense gaze. With a snap of my finger, I summoned Gatine and shot one of his legs clean off before he could do anything.

  I gnce around, seeing all of them in fear, not daring to make a move. I made it clear not to mess with me, after all.

  Enna nded in front of me, with Mitsuki in her arms. They both look at me.

  "I'm going to be an aunt!!", I announce again.

  "Congratutions!!", Mitsuki cheered, "Is it a boy or a girl?'

  "I don't know, I want to find out myself.", heha... I almost summon the Book of Akasha to find out.

  "Can we go there after getting Hoa?", she asked with sparkling eyes.

  "It's still far off, so there is still some time.", I answered, "We will maybe visit some other pce before getting to my sister."

  "For now, let's go to the savanna.", I look to the North, where the Maclear's Beacon mountain is.

  "Try to catch up to me.", I smirked and took a step forward, and I disappeared— wait.

  I returned, "Not Utopia, he gets special treatment."

  And I was off again.

  Where to? Not to find Hoa, certainly.

  I am here to fuck around and maybe find out. This is an adventure, after all. This is Cape Town, one of the three capitals of South Africa.

  I went to a food stand on the beach first, though it freaked people out since I am apparently an international criminal. Everyone knows my face, after all.

  The line quickly disperse, running away from me. As for the stand owner...

  "One chakaka, please. Half spice.", I asked.

  "O-Of course!!", he quickly got to work.

  Chakaka is a pretty good dish, a mix of different textures mushing together to make an amazing delicacy. Though I prefer it having less spice.

  He did the job quickly and handed the dish over to me. Of course, I paid. A thousand dolrs.

  "T-This is too much!!", he protested.

  "Make as many as you can with that amount.", I spoke pinly, "I'll be gone now."

  I moved away in a fsh of electricity, on top of a building where I enjoyed my meal.

  Cape Town is beautiful, out of the concrete jungles I've seen, none could surpass this harmony of civilization and nature. Between the animals roaming just beyond that mountain, the pins carefully cultivated, and the touch of humanity...

  Hehahahaha~

  I am Charlotte Silvi, I am the avatar of humanity itself. I have a very strong desire to burn this harmony away. Because this world is for humanity.

  But I won't.

  I am not that diabolical, nature has its time, and this won't be the end. Someone else will do it for me.

  "Utopia, can you keep a promise for?", I asked.

  "[Your wish is my command—]"

  I cut him off, "No, that's not it. This is your choice to do it or not."

  After a few moments of silence, he spoke up.

  "[What is that you want me to promise, Your Majesty?]"

  "When I do something stupid, don't stop me in any circumstance."

  And I returned to my meal, shutting him off with my preference for silence during meals.
