Chapter 24 - Chapter 21: (Is Mister a Magician....)

Gazing at the outstretched hand of the demon before me, I hesitated slightly, before grasping my hand with his. On contact, there was a slight tingling sensation followed by a message appearing before my eyes.

| Summon is Initiating contract...|

Blinking at the message before me I gazed back up at Alastor's glowing red eyes and large eerie smile. I sighed slightly before saying within my mind, (Accept.) Instantly a swirl of green and black energy surrounded the both of us and I could feel Alastor's grip around my hand tighten. After a brief moment, the swirling mass of energy fully engulfed us before vanishing in a blink of an eye. Standing in the middle of the road, Alastor's smile grew larger, as he pulled his hand away.

"Interesting..."

"What's interesting?"

My question caused Alastor's smile to grow wider as he mused, "What do you mean?" I felt my eyebrow twitch slightly as I said, "What did you find interesting?" Alastor gave me a half-closed eye look before suddenly shifting his attention towards Ophis. Upon seeing her, his eyes glowed, and his smile grew vicious. I could feel a heavy pressure fill the atmosphere as the two entities glared at one another.

"This day is getting more interesting by the second..."

I could see the antlers atop Alastor's head grow slightly as the air around him became staticky and various satanic symbols appeared around him. Ophis's eyes became slits as she gently landed on her feet, the air around her became chaotic, and the sky itself was turning dark.

[This isn't going to end well...]

{I detect extreme killing intent..}

(No shit sherlock...)

As I continued to stare at the demon and dragon glare at one another a voice broke the standoff...

"Big sis!"

I turn my head and saw Alice standing at the top of the stairs, Zeke was on top of her head and was currently growling at Alastor with raised shackles. Alice turned her head slightly and her eyes grew wide when she saw Alastor.

Alastor himself was staring at the girl with a raised eyebrow...

As Alice continued to stare at Alastor, her lips curled upwards, and she gave off a beaming smile...

"Hello! My name is Alice, what your name?"

I could see Alastor blink in surprise as Alice ran up to him with stars in her eyes. "What's your name, mister? How old are you? What's your favorite color?" Alastor stared down at Alice with a tilt of his head and said, "You're a strange child..." Alice giggled as she replied, "I'm not strange you're strange mister!" I could see something flash through Alastor's eyes as he quickly turned away and started walking towards me his smile never leaving his face.

"If you have need of my assistance..."

Slowly his body was engulfed by my shadow and a voice whispered into my ear...

"I will choose to help or not."

I shook my head slightly before I looked over at Alice, who was staring at the spot Alastor vanished with a face full of awe.

"Is mister a magician!?"

I chuckled slightly at Alice and looked towards the stairs, to find myself staring at a shocked Miku...

(Well...I guess it's about time to explain some stuff...)
