Relaxing trip

  Although they did took a while to find me, Mitsuki and Enna got to me in Keurboom Park, sipping a cup of coffee as I sat on a tree.

  Mitsuki came running to me, "Charlotte! Here you are!!"

  "Could you please not run around so much?", Enna nded with a sigh.

  "No.", I answered instantly.

  There is no reason to listen to her because I have myself to call out my bullshits. I am very self-aware, after all.

  The Marines are hot on my tail, but I am not worried. It is ironic that I am the best at dealing with humans while being the representative of humanity. Well, no species in the history of the world kills their own kind more than humanity.

  But I can't kill humans normally, even if we are so fragile. I have to steel my resolve over a long period of time. It took me a few months to kill Romulus, most of that time was procrastination.

  "I have some more pces I want to visit, then we'll head to find Hoa.", I hopped down from the tree, snapping my finger, "Utopia."

  He appeared beside me and caught me in his hand, then he proceeded to pce me on his shoulder.

  "You know, I don't think you should leisurely py around when the world is going up in fme because of your actions.", Enna chided me.

  "It's just, what? Twenty-something coup happening around the world?", I giggled.

  "[There are officially 136 coups happening around the world, Your Majesty.]", Utopia corrected me.

  "Eh, it isn't that much of a difference.", I shrugged, "For now, let's climb some mountains."

  "[As you command, Your Majesty.]"

  Well, out of all the countries in the world, there are a few countries that haven't gone to shit, yet.

  Britain for one, isn't worse than it already was, people still try to shank each other on the street.

  Greece isn't ready to dive back into civil war, the scars of that war are still left.

  Surprisingly, Yugosvia was reformed and in the process of being recognized.

  Germany is... yeah.

  The Scandinavian nations are doing pretty well, all things considered.

  Africa, as always, is doing its best.

  That should be all.

  "You are going to start another Great War, aren't you?", Enna stared at me as if she already knew the answer.

  To that, I just stare back at her with an eerie smile. Even Mitsuki was getting uncomfortable.

  "[War is the mother of inventions.]", Utopia said ominously.

  Heh, he really gets me.

  "So where do you want to go next?", Mitsuki quickly changed the subject.

  "Hmm, go to the safari?", I asked for their opinions.

  "Wouldn't that make you come into contact with Avalon?", Mitsuki tilted her head.

  "It's okay. Avalon won't attack me.", no for now. I let an ant crawl onto my hand, "Plus, they know where I am at all times."

  Just ant alone, over twenty quadrillion in number, and if what the World said is true, half of this number is under Avalon's control. But there are conditions I don't know about.

  For this stalemate to continue, it will become tenser every second.

  It isn't about losing the reason to fight, we never lost our reason to fight. It had always, and will always be the same.

  This is Earth, after all. It is factually impossible to change this cycle of violence.

  It is to take and take even more.

  Even if the other two don't say it, Domination is always their objective on a subconscious level.

  Hmm? Ah.

  "Utopia.", I hopped off his shoulder, "Subdue."

  In an instant, Utopia vanished, followed by a gust of wind. His target?

  "Hey! Get off me!!", a man screamed as we was tangled up in Utopia's wires.

  Oh, it was Sun Wu from Babel. The Gem Holder of the Six-Eared Macaque.

  "Why are you spying on me?", I asked him with a smile.

  "Yo! Charlotte, it has been a while!", he waved it off, "Listen, I don't care if you betrayed Babel or went rogue, this is a major problem I need to warn you about."

  Something major?

  "What is it?", I look at him, becoming more serious. With a snap of my finger, Utopia untangled him and retreated to my side.

  "Macaque— I sensed the return of the Monkey King.", he spoke with urgency, "Sun Wukong had returned."

  Sun Wukong...

  Shit. I'm pissed now.

  "Utopia, drop one on the Borobudur Temple.", I commanded.

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

  "Sun Wu, you can go back.", I dismissed him.

  "Charlotte, this is a serious problem—"

  He dodged out of the way from three attacks, Enna's sword, Mitsuki's spear, and Utopia's bst. Omniscience is his main power, after all.

  "Don't try to order me around. I have a schedule to maintain, after all.", I stated, walking off.

  The others followed me as well. Enna flew up into the sky, Utopia activated his invisibility, and Mitsuki ran to my side.

  "That was awesome!", she giggled.

  "Same he didn't take the hit.", I shrugged. I wanted to punish him for souring my mood, but leaving him seem more fun.

  Well, it's time for the safari.

  =0=0=

  I don't find anything interesting about watching animals going off on their own. I know Avalon is watching me, but something I've learned is that there is an active and inactive state to Avalon. So unless the hivemind wants to do anything, all animals pretty much act the same.

  Though, I'm not sure right now. I was having a staring contest with a lion, amber eyes, a clear and calm gaze.

  I want to rip its eyes out and make decorations out of them. But I won't.

  Turning around to look for another animal to observe, the lion decided to lunge at me. So I delivered a roundhouse kick, sending it crashing into a tree.

  Hmm...

  It's difficult to find Hoa here.

  Oh, Utopia returned to me.

  "What is it?", I asked him.

  "[A Herald of The Pgue Garden had arrived.]", he informed me.

  "What?", I narrowed my eyes.

  Fucking dammit.

  "[A Giant of Light, well-known as warriors of justice and all that is good.]"

  I just stare with wide eyes. Are there actually things defined as good in this universe?

  "Where are they now?", I continue to ask.

  He took a few seconds to answer, "[Tokyo, Japan, Your Majesty.]"

  He projected a holographic screen, projecting the footage of this Giant of Light. And lo and behold, it is an actual giant of light in the middle of Tokyo. They glow so bright I can't easily identify their face, I just know that they're humanoid in shape.

  "Any damage?"

  "[Not that the moment, Your Majesty. And I cannot track them due to the unique ability of the Giants of Light.]", he replied.

  "Huh, let them do whatever they want.", I brushed it aside.

  The so-called "Good Guy" of the universe, let's leave them alone for a while.

  Oh, Mitsuki is running at me, with a herd of zebra chasing after her, but they are quickly catching up.

  With a snap of my finger, I summon Walpurgis Festival. With a push of the cane, an earth wall rose beneath Mitsuki, she took a leap going straight for me.

  I took a step to the side, letting Utopia catch her.

  "Charlotte! Why didn't you catch me!?", she whined.

  "Because I hate other people touching me.", I simply stated the fact.

  "Come on!!", she gets up with the help of Utopia, "At least show a bit of care!!"

  "Utopia caught you, didn't he?", I smiled.

  "Yes! And thank you, Utopia!", she turned to him for a moment, which he silently nodded, then she returned to me, "Can't we go seeing some Elementals next? I want to see one!!"

  I remember herding an Earth Elemental for a Commission. It was quite fun.

  "Fine.", I return Walpurgis Festival to the ship and repce it with Ouroboros Omniscia, "Let's go."
