"Hello everyone, this is your beloved Silver Royal, Charlotte Silvi, or as declared my the U.N, the Enemy of Humanity.", I waved at the camera.

I am still in Kyoto, standing on top of a building while my back faces the street.

[She's here!!]
[Our queen!!]
[Rite of Fire!!]
[Aaaaaaaa!!!!]
[Hello!!]
[Hello!!]
[Another dope title!!]
...

About five hundred thousand concurrent viewers, not like the last time but still a huge amount.

"If you are familiar with the news, which is all about people getting detained or losing fortune due to yours truly, you might've missed what I am up to.", I glanced back at the city, most of the Yokais had woken up and the Onmyojis had arrived on the scene to deal with them, the humans are losing.

"I came to visit Kyoto the other day for some vacation fun.", I closed my eyes and nodded to myself, "But unfortunately, my fun was stopped and something called the Parade of the One Hundred Demons happened."

[Awww]
[What were the Japenis doing?]
[Damn, the world is really burning]
[Fuck me, this seem pretty bad]
[Everywhere all I see is fire...]
...

"Hmm, I understand your frustrations, my dear citizens. Well, it's the fault of the Onmyoji, who told them to seal things and not kill them outright?"

Because this would not happen if they killed the Yokai, and don't get me started on how "the Yokai can't be killed". Nothing on this planet is immortal. And there are more than enough things capable of ending the world a thousand times over.

"Amidst all of this carnage, I was proven right.", I smiled for the camera, "The past may hold valuable lessons, but it also hold regrets and the incompetence of the old. Why stick to it? Why keep on sealing and renewing the seals on such dangerous monsters?"

There was no reason to keep them around.

"I am a Hunter, my license wasn't revoked.", in actuality, the Hunter Association actually supported me, as well as the majority of France, "It is always better to kill a beast than to let it loose."

At least give it a kill switch like what's going on under the Association's headquarters.

[Better kill off anything dangerous!]
[Why do they keep them around anyway?]
[Stupid]
[Don't you guys see how insane she is?]
[My princess for life!!]
[Hunter here! I support slaughter!!]
[Kill!]

...

"Well then, my dearest citizens. There are, like, a few dozen more disasters at this level in Japan. Should I take care of it or let the people sort them out?", I posed a question.

Hmm, a lot of people want me to deal with them. This won't do...

"Honestly, why should I solve their problem for them? I am the Argent Monarch, I am not a savior, just someone wanting change and capable of opening a path to the future.", I stare at the moon hanging above my head with a smile, "I am not everyone's mother, I don't want to handle everyone's mess."

[We aren't running a charity here!]
[Right!!]
[It's their own problem~]
[I want you to be my mom]
[Aw...]
[Please tuck me to bed]
[Mommy]
[You guys know she's underage, right?]
[Really?]
[What?]
[She's 17]
[Wot]
[WHAT?!]
...

Somehow, the topic shifted to my age. Yes, I am still very young and underage. I sighed, shaking my head.

Hmm...

I summon Walpurgis Festival, tapping the cane against the concrete floor and creating hundreds of magic shields around me.

From all directions, I was attacked by spells and Shikigamis, trying to end my life.

"This is why war is such a mess.", I shrugged, motioning the camerca to follow me, "There is no morality or honor in battle..."

I turned around, looking down to the street... ah. A Miko with maroon red hair and piercing purple eyes. She greeted me with a bow and a smile.

What is her name again?

I summoned the Book of Akasha, flipping through the pages... there it is.

"Yuugure Klara.", I stated her name.

Her voice echoes, "Charlotte Silvi, you are under arrest for suspicion of releasing the seals in Kyoto Prefecture."

"See this, my dear citizens.", I smiled, "They couldn't handle the responsibilities, so they blamed me for their mistakes."

With my words, the chat went into a frenzy demanding her head. Since I just said her name outloud...

She was put on Trial.

"Well, do you have any proof?", I continue our conversation.

"There are reports of you entering and destroying the Heian-Jingu Shrine, along with some of your confirmed followers spotted in other regions of the Prefecture.", Klara stared at me, some Talismans poked out from under her sleeves.

"You know you won't win, right?", I tilt my head with a smile.

"It is the principles of these kinds of things.", she accepted her fate.

Then a blue demonic Shikigami appeared from thin air, striking one of my barrier spells.

I calmly summon Galatine and pull the trigger.

Boom!!

A beam of golden light pierced through the Shikigami and lit up the night.

Then I summon the Emblem of Monte Cristo. With three of them here...

"Deconstruct.", I jumped down as my weapons split into pieces.

With a spin, I landed while the fragments spun around me.

I held my right hand up high, "Reforge."

They reformed into a golden sword covered in green flame. I pointed it at Klara, who kept on smiling. But I know, she is scared, since she took a step back while burning her Talismans.

Five Shikigami appeared from thin air, a Living Armor, a samurai with a dog head, a spider with a bullhead, a giant centipede, and a Flame Bird. They are fairly powerful Shikigamis, but they are nothing to me.

Let's play for a bit.

I blocked a swing my sword, pushing it back. Then walk through a cone of fire from the bird. A web came next, but I just let the green flame burn it away.

"There is nothing you can do against me—", I stopped my taunt, there was something amusing happening right in front of me.

Klara raised a Talisman in front of the Nuraihyon's shimmering corpse.

With a calm voice, she chanted, "By the Contract of Abe no Seimei, witnessed by the Four Corners, bound by the twelve Spirits, I command you to rise up once more and fight in the name of peace and prosperity. Make haste, in accordance with the Law of the World."

The Talisman in her hand glowed white, "Nuraihyon, accept your Name, Yorukiri!"

The Talisman burns up, and the Nuraihyon appears once again. This time in a blue yukata and white haori, it is still an old man but a little bit younger.

Hmm, the art of Shikigami Creation, to bind another being to your Soul, dead or alive does not matter. Internationally, this is classified as Necromancy, or it would be Slavery, which is a big no-no. So the Onmyojis had to endure the fact that their ritual is considered the same as Necromancy, otherwise, it would be banned and every practitioner would be hunted down by the G.O.C.

But what makes the Nuraihyon the Strongest Yokai? For me who fought a sword-wielding dinosaur, nothing much can get a raise out of me. Simply put, the Nuraihyon can...

"Kaderiku, Hitori.", Klara called them and they retreated to her side.

Hmm, I grabbed the face of the samurai dog and sliced it in half with a horizontal swing. Then I stabbed my sword into its chest, lighting it up in green flame.

Klara widens her eyes, realizing what I just did. Although the Curse of Monte Cristo isn't Judgement, it can burn Souls, rather, it is being more crude than Judgement making the experience a lot more painful.

How would someone react when their Soul is being burned?

"Heh, I didn't think I would be facing my own killer so soon.", the Nuraihyon chuckled, "Please, let me borrow your powers.", the bird and the centipede shrieked around it in response.

The reason why it is considered the strongest Yokai is that it can borrow other Yokai's power. The Nuraihyon now wore a jet-black suit of armor with a centipede motif and his katana lit up in flame, while the other two Shikigami disappeared.

"Be careful, her sword can destroy Souls.", Klara warned him.

I performed a spin, letting the green flame loose, burning both the Living Armor and the bull spider. Then I smiled.

I wonder how a proper fight would turn out—

Then I heard it, the roar of an engine. My opponents heard it too and turned in the same direction as me.

From the corner of a block was... a dark silver car performing a drift, there was nobody inside it, going straight for me. And it is blasting Initial D at full volume.

What the fuck?

What is this Eldritch God's obsession with me?

"That's it.", I summoned my lance to my left hand, "Argent Overdrive."

My halo flickered into existence, and the Rose Compass appeared in my eyes. Immediately, everything was pushed back due to my own gravity, Klara and the Nuraihyon couldn't handle it so they retreated.

The Stellar Gateway lost control of its speed, opening a portal to escape before I could swing at it.

Opening the Book of Akasha, I took out a silver walkie-talkie.

"This is Charlotte Silvi, the Argent Monarch of Humanity, if you don't want to die then run away as far as you can, escaping to another region is preferable.", after all, this is an Eldritch God we are dealing with.

"What are you trying to do?", for the first time, I saw Klara's flustered expression.

I lowered the walkie-talkie, "An Eldritch God is after me."

Then her smile returned, "No no, leaving you here to deal with an Eldritch God would cost me more than losing face, I am a part of Babel, so it is only right for me to assist in these matters."

Hmm, the stream ended the moment The Stellar Gateway appeared, I guess it is fine.

"Very well.", I took a step forward, and my halo lit up the color of Reverie and Euphoria, "Symphony of Hysteria: Madness."

The black goo poured out of my book, then crystalized black hands reached out like some sort of horror movie. Moving rigidly, cracking with every movement.

The Stellar Gateway appeared once again, this time in the form of a semi-truck. It didn't charge at me, it was staring at me...
