Book 4: Intermission 3

High Above the City as Scarlets Leaving

Kitsugami Shirou slowly smirks as he watches the girl stepping outside of his city from the skies, his seven tails fluttering in the wind behind him, the fur on the tails looking a pale white with hints of gray. Meanwhile each tail is tipped with pure black as bolts of death magic dance along the tips between the tails. But as he continues to watch the girl, the smirk on his face slowly turns manic and light chuckles begin to bubble up from him.

Thats the one! I will have her no matter what!!!

He slowly begins to laugh louder and louder, only to sometimes drop in volume and grow again for no reason.

Please show me what His Majesty will do! I want to see it!!! With my own eyes!

Shirou knows perfectly well that going after the Princess is suicide.

But he doesnt care. In fact, he wants to know just how angry the Demon King will be at him for trying to take his precious Princess.

Mostly Shirou just wants to see despair on the lovely Princesss face though.

And if the Demon King doesnt manage to find the Princess thanks to that wonderful stealth magic she has on her, Shirou knows very well how much thatll increase the fun.

Then he bursts out laughing again and starts flying around in circles.

Kitsugami Shirou! Are you ever going to fucking snap out of it and- the voice stops after Shirou sticks out his tongue and points his index finger at his head, saying Boop! as he shoots out a small bolt of death mana straight at his head, using a skill to clear any mental effects on him. Including the telepathy from the familiar voice he is ignoring. Because the voice doesnt exist.

One, two, Shirou begins, locking his hands together behind his back by the fingers as he sways back and forth from side to side while hanging upside down. Death comes for you. Then he flips around, orienting himself with his head towards the sky. Three, four, he pauses again as a wide smile stretches across his face at the sight of all the demons speeding up slightly like their lives depended on it. Aww, dont you wanna see what happens when it comes? Thats too bad.

He rocks back and forth midair as he watches the army chase after the girl from high up in the sky, wondering just how long theyll be able to play with her before news of this gets back to the Demon King. But it doesnt take long for him to break out into chuckles at the thought again. The thought of seeing the Demon King massacring the entire city for targeting his granddaughter.

I love this!

Shirou breaks out into hysterical laughter before slowly floating along in the direction that the Princess is running.

I should let her reach the Battlefield before I attack. It should give me some time to toy with her before His Majesty arrives to kill me.

His laughter cuts off and he grins as if he had just won the lottery.

This is going to be soooo much fun!!! Maybe I can even kill the Princess after toying with her? Just to see what hed do!!

Shirou starts humming while flying through the air and occasionally muttering, One, two, death comes for youuuuu.
