[Private to Sadame, SAI, and Onni]

[thefifthmonarch]

Right.

Sadame, your grandchild is not in the best health at the moment and needs a few days out of school. Apparently due to Numbers corruption.

Secondly, I attempted to pursue the fleeing Number as Shiei, the person in question, forfeited via passing out.

However, I think one of the Number Hunters might of gotten it.

Sadame, did you notice any time alteration going on?

...That's the second Number that's managed to avoid us via forfeit - Master Key Beetle got away in the same way when I confronted Jouji.

Tch, these Number Hunters are getting on my nerves...

[theheadmonarch]

Did Jouji pass out in the middle of the duel, looking sick?

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah, he did. I had thought it was because he was straining too hard with the magic he was using to try and fuse Shiroko, Shiyoko, Shinoko, and Kurochi, but...

"Once is chance, twice is coincience, three times is a pattern."

[theheadmonarch]

Shiei, no sign of major magic use, but a cursory check?

Their body looks like it was basically on overdrive.

[becomeanwarrior]

...That lines up with how Jouji seemed.

He also used a Rank-Up-Magic I haven't seen before. Not the official one I2 printed, either.

[theheadmonarch]

... I2 printed Rank-Up-Magic?

And I think something similar happened with who was fighting Shiei.

[becomeanwarrior]

Revolution Force, it's for Raidraptors. As if my job wasn't hard enough.

...So we've got more Rank-Up-Magic, more Numbers, and new foes who are trying to snag them -and- the ones we've already collected.

God, I didn't sign up for a second season of this bullshit.

[theheadmonarch]

Ugh, why do they keep printing all these bad magic cards.

... God, this really does sound like a post-script season full of bullshit, doesn't it.

And I expect it to only get worse... UGH.

I hope I don't have to get involved.

[becomeanwarrior]

Something something magical source feeback something something inspiration. I don't think it's actual magical? It seems useful only for the Raidraptors.

Right??? Right down to the weird "not-quite-rehash" concept and the strange behavior of already-established people.

...Have things been happening around the mansion? I can help if you need it.

[theheadmonarch]

Still, they're basing it on bad ancient juju magic.

Uh, not really. Just bridge club to be honest.

And Akae being dreamy about dancing.

And trying to find something for my daughters to do after school.

[becomeanwarrior]

Well, yes.

Okay, that's fair. I'm probably gonna be stepping up security as best I can.

Bluuuh, this is frustrating. I wonder if there's anything we can get off Jouji or Shiei when they wake up.

[theheadmonarch]

I think the former is awake, just being hassled by his sisters. Extremely so.

[becomeanwarrior]

I don't think "living nightmare" counts, Noriko.

[thefifthmonarch]

Huh?

[becomeanwarrior]

...I'm making a joke.

He's being terrorized by his sisters.

[thefifthmonarch]

Good.

He's a little shit and he deserves it.

[becomeanwarrior]

I feel kind of sorry for him, I don't think he did anything that wasn't caused by his crazy mom.

...But on the other hand he did play around with dark magic he had no business messing with, so he gets to endure this punishment for a while before I suggest to Shiroko lay off him.

[thefifthmonarch]

Ditto, but you should also talk to the other three to stop too. They're all pretty mad about this.

[becomeanwarrior]

I mean, I will. But, y'know. Only so much I can do on that front.

[the8thmonarch]

Personally I expect him to be emasculated.

[becomeanwarrior]

...He might. I know how that feels.

I'll talk to them here in the next day or so so I can maybe get some info from my doofass brother in law.

[the8thmonarch]

Good luck, Shitstain. Do something useful for once.

[becomeanwarrior]

Wow, I feel so loved.

Just cause I'm outside the age demographic doesn't mean you can start giving me shit!

[the8thmonarch]

I'm not. I just think you're a shitty roach.
