Drake frowned as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.
Since he had decided to help Stella with special training, he might as well take others along, following the principle of "it's the same whether you herd one sheep or a flock."
For example, Kurogane Ikki and Kurogane Shizuku. It was a pity that Toudo Touka and the student council members had gone home to visit their families.
Otherwise, Drake would have wanted to take them along as well.
According to the information, the Puppet King wasn't good at fighting.
But in terms of scariness, he was even above the leader, that who maintained a corner of the world, in Rebellion.
His Hellish Spider Silk could not only control inanimate objects, but even perfectly control people's bones, muscles, and even nerves.
Drake didn't think that the Puppet King had any bottom line. He might use any means at that time.
It would be helpful to find a few more helpers, which could also solve some troubles.
But just now, Drake had made several calls to Kurogane Ikki, but no one had answered. The same went for Kurogane Shizuku.
Asking Shinomiya Kurokane, she didn't know the whereabouts of the siblings either.
Drake couldn't help but have a bad premonition. But even if Drake wanted to investigate now, there were no clues.
After getting rid of Shinomiya Kurokane's investigation, Drake set off again with Stella.
And this time, the destination of the two was a... dessert shop located on a commercial street in Tokyo.
Looking at the cake pattern on the signboard, Stella couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Aren't we supposed to be doing special training? Why are we here to eat desserts?"
Drake said, "The person who can help you with special training is inside."
For Stella, the safest way to become stronger was to awaken into a Demon Person. But Drake couldn't help in this regard.
According to the Great Elder, Drake himself was equivalent to an awakened Demon Person, except that he didn't have the ability to draw in karma.
So Drake had no experience in awakening that he could teach Stella.
So Drake naturally had to find a Demon Person to be her teacher.
Nangou Torajirou and Nishikyou Nene weren't here, and Drake wasn't only unfamiliar with Kurogane Itaru, but also had some grudges with him.
When he had come to this world last time, Drake had created a lot of trouble for this director of the Alliance's Japanese branch.
And there were only two Demon People in Japan, so Drake could only come to find this person.
Who would have thought that the Alliance's most wanted criminal, , had never left Japan. And her hiding place... she wasn't hiding. She was openly working part-time at this dessert shop.
According to her, the chef of this shop made cheesecake at a very high level, and she was learning here as an apprentice.
When Drake had followed the aura to find Edelweiss during the Seven Star Sword Art Festival, who would have known that he would see a girl wearing a chef's apron when he walked into this shop?
Drake's impression of the world's strongest swordsman was still that pure white Valkyrie. He didn't expect to see a completely different Edelweiss.
Then Drake learned from Edelweiss that she had liked making desserts from the beginning, and that she practiced swordsmanship to burn the calories gained from eating too many desserts.
She had lost weight and became the strongest in the world. It could only be said that women could really do anything to lose weight.
Stella followed Drake into the dessert shop with some suspicion. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the sweet aroma of various cakes.
She swallowed her saliva, saying, "Hey, Drake, let's buy some cakes to take back! Special training must make us hungry really quickly... Ah! Aren't you ... ?"
Stella saw the person behind the counter with one glance, exclaiming subconsciously!
...
It took a long time for Stella to calm down, accepting that Edelweiss was the special training teacher that Drake had introduced to her.
Edelweiss was a very enthusiastic and kind person, not refusing the two's request. So Stella quickly became fond of her.
Of course, it might also be because the cake that Edelweiss brought up was too delicious.
Although Drake knew that Edelweiss liked desserts, he didn't expect her skills to be so good.
Edelweiss took off her apron, sitting opposite the two, saying, "I know about your matter. It's okay to do special training! But I want to tell you that awakening isn't that easy.
Especially since the Crimson Princess has the power of an awakened Demon Person from birth, it's very difficult to reach the limits of fate and break through."
Drake nodded in agreement. The so-called Demon Person was someone whose fate had broken free from the world's fate and come to the outside of the world.
And the most direct manifestation of fate was the Blazer's magic power.
Looking at Stella's magic power, the weight of her fate was fully enough to be equal to the world's gravitational force.
So it could be said that she was almost a Demon Person from birth.
Because of this, it wasn't so easy for her to awaken.
Stella ate her cake in one bite, clenching her small fist, saying, "I will definitely succeed!"
Edelweiss was noncommittal, looking at Drake, saying, "There's nothing you can help with next. You can leave!"
Drake opened his mouth, but was directly pushed out of the dessert shop by Stella.
Drake looked at the closed door of the dessert shop, smiling before walking towards the academy.
Just as Drake returned to Hagun Academy, he received a message from Shinomiya Kurokane, quickly going to the chairman's office.
"Take a look at this!" Shinomiya Kurokane said with a dark face, pushing a tablet computer from her desk to Drake.
Drake picked up the information, clicking the play button on it.
On the screen was a young man who looked somewhat handsome, but Drake had an uncomfortable feeling as soon as he saw the smile on his face.
That face completely matched the information that Drake had obtained. It was the , Oer-Girr.
The background of the picture should be on a ship. Drake could see the coastline in the distance... as well as the iron-gray deck of the ship and the naval guns on it.
"Hello! I'm Oer-Girr, also known as the by you.
I'm here to declare war on someone! Mr. Drake from Ryumei Academy, are you watching?
In a week, let's kill each other happily! I have four companions here, and you can also gather a team of five. Let's have the best battle with ten people!
Don't think about refusing me! Look over here."
Saying this, the picture turned, landing on the ship. All of the ship's huge cannons turned in another direction, and the missile launch wells were all opened, the shiny missiles rising.
And it wasn't just one ship. The entire fleet was ready for battle. And the direction that all the weapons were aiming at was Tokyo Bay in Japan.
The picture returned to Oer-Girr, and four figures also appeared behind him.
He said with a smile, "Don't let me down. See you in Tokyo Port in a week!"
The video ended here. Drake put down the tablet, saying, "He has the courage to provoke me because he has four more helpers?"
Shinomiya Kurokane said, "The identities of three of those four people have been confirmed.
One is the ferocious criminal wanted by the Alliance, the Demon Person Blazer with the title , Nassim Salih.
And another is the assassin from the Underworld Organization, , Ein Abernathy.
That giant is the Rebellion's cyborg . As for the last person, his identity can't be determined temporarily because he's wearing a cloak. But being with the four of them, he shouldn't be weak either.
In short, these five people aren't so easy to deal with."
Drake's expression was a little ugly. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the last person looked a bit familiar.
He hoped that it wasn't what he was thinking. Otherwise, that Puppet King was really courting death.
