I, Hikigaya, the snake of the red world god's ritual!

"Haha, you don't seem to know who I am." Hikigaya shook his head silently, "In this case, you will follow me first and use your eyes to record everything you see. By then, you will naturally Know that assisting me is the best option for you and your master."

"This……"

The doll couldn't understand why Hikigaya had the confidence to say these words.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet." Hikigaya looked at the doll in his hand, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hikigaya Hachiman."

"My name is Marianne."

"Well, please give me more advice."

"How much advice?"

"By the way, your current state may disappear at any time. Do you need me to add some power of existence to you?"

"Yes, can you?"

"of course."

Faced with Hikigaya's strange attitude, the doll named Marianne even unconsciously forgot the fact that she was captured.

In other words, Hikigaya didn't treat her as a trophy or a slave at all.

This was undoubtedly a very wonderful feeling for Marianne, and she never got over it for a long time...

Hikigaya walked towards home while chatting with the doll Marian in his arms.

Just when he was about to return home, a figure was waiting for him at the end of the street.

"Hey, welcome back, our leader."

"..."

Hearing the words spoken by General Qianbian, one of the three pillars of the masquerade party, Hikigaya suddenly got goosebumps all over his body: "Can you, an uncle, stop saying such things? Change to Heikati and do it again!"

"Haha, our lovely Hecate doesn't just say welcome back to people casually." Xiudenan shook his head and looked at Hikigaya, "The harvest looks good for the leader. All the hunter's most cherished dolls have been It falls into your hands and is at your mercy.”

"Don't say it so weirdly, it makes it look like I'm not talking to someone else."

"Well, I don't mind if you, leader, have that kind of habit."

"I mind."

The strange conversation the two had when they met was normal for Hikigaya, but Marianne, the doll in Hikigaya's arms, was frightened to the point of cardiopulmonary arrest when she saw this scene.

After all, she could fully feel how terrifying the middle-aged man in sunglasses standing in front of her was.

Even if her master Faliagni came forward, he would not be a match for the sunglasses man.

But Hikigaya Hachiman was able to be called 'Lord Leader' by such a man, and he talked and laughed with such a relaxed attitude.

Hikigaya Hachiman, who is he? ?

Marianne couldn't help but feel deep suspicion in her heart.

Chapter 30 Arriving at Xingli Temple

Chapter 30

"Qianbian, why did you come to me?"

After chatting with the man in sunglasses for a while, Hikigaya finally got down to business.

He knew that the other party, who was the third pillar minister, would suddenly come to him. There must be some special reason. In short, he couldn't come to chat with him.

"To put it simply, the plan for the masquerade has been roughly finalized, and the final steps need to be confirmed by you, the leader of the alliance."

"go?"

Hikigaya looked at Shutonan in confusion, not understanding where he was referring to.

Xiu Denan slightly picked up his sunglasses, then raised his finger and pointed at the sky.

Hikigaya followed and looked over. Above the endless blue sky, there was only the sunset in Chiba that had not changed for thousands of years... This was how it should be.

"What is that thing!? It's obviously not normal!"

"No, no, it's normal."

Xiu Denan said with a complacent expression: "What you see is the headquarters of our masquerade party, a flying castle in the sky - Xingli Palace."

"..."

In Hikigaya's sight, a huge behemoth composed of various buildings appeared out of thin air in the sky of Chiba City.

Just like the Castle in the Sky described in a Hayao Miyazaki animation, the huge castle floats above the clouds, as if mocking the fragile reality, watching everything coldly and arrogantly.

"Then let's go."

Shutonan didn't give Hikigaya much time to prepare. He grabbed his arm and a large number of freestyles appeared out of thin air from all around.

Although it was only a short moment, Hikigaya still saw how complicated Shudenan's freestyle was. Faliagni's freestyle was extremely crude compared to him, let alone Shana.

Moreover, Shudenan's free-style activation speed was even faster than expected. At least Hikigaya didn't catch the opponent's delay in starting the free-style at all.

He is worthy of being the first of the Four Heavenly Kings, so terrifying!

"boom!"

Accompanied by the noise caused by the friction between the human body and the air, Hikigaya rushed from the ground to the sky in a daze, and then came to a huge palace floating in the sky.

When his feet reached the ground again, Hikigaya even felt that his heart had deviated several centimeters from its original position.

"Then, come with me, our leader."

When Xiu Denan spoke of the alliance leader, his words were obviously much more forceful than normal.

Hikigaya knew what the other party was implying, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Anyway, they have become the so-called leader of the alliance. Hikigaya will not be completely ruined...

"General Qianbian, you are back."

Hecate's figure slowly emerged from the distance. She seemed to be having a headache about something, and now she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing thousands of changes.

At the same time, she quickly saw Hikigaya next to Qianbian, and immediately lowered her head respectfully: "Long time no see, my lord."

"Hello, Miss Hecate."

Although the other party behaved respectfully, it was impossible for Hikigaya to really regard himself as a ritual snake.

He still has clear self-awareness in this regard.

The three of them then walked slowly towards the interior of Xingli Hall.

"General Qianbian, Lord Alliance Leader, under the order of the Unreasonable Judge, a large number of Red World Apostles under the Masquerade have gathered in this Xingli Palace, waiting for the follow-up instructions." Hecate said, slightly Frowning, "However, the characters of the Red World Apostles are mostly disobedient to discipline. The Unreasonable Judges left because of something to do, and now they have caused a commotion in the venue."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Hikigaya couldn't help but be surprised.

"Haha, it will only be more exaggerated than you think." Shudenan shook his head, as if to prepare Hikigaya mentally in advance.

Passing through the long corridor of the castle, Hikigaya followed the two Red Demon Kings to a huge gate.

Xiudenan opened the door with force, and what appeared in front of him was a very spacious circular space, like an ancient Roman arena, with a central structure surrounding it.

Right now, around the hall, a large number of Red World Apostles have gathered here. Occasionally, some of them have the same human appearance as Hikigaya, but most of them are all kinds of monsters that have no sense of normality at all.

But Hikigaya actually thinks this is good.

The Red Demon King I encountered before was said to be an existence from another world, but each one was more human-like than the other, and they spoke more eloquently than real humans. It was true that they lacked a sense of atmosphere.

The zoo-like environment in this hall now gave Hikigaya an extraordinary feeling, and the air he breathed became fresher.

At the same time, when he, the leader of the masquerade party, appeared, a large number of Red World apostles turned their attention to him, making it clear that they were scrutinizing the returned 'leader'.

Many of the Red World Apostles showed surprised expressions, as if they did not expect that the leader of the masquerade party would actually be a human being.

"Master Qianbian!"

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.

Among the red apostles, an apostle with a huge horn who looked like a one-horned fairy came out with great movement.

"What's the matter, Liebezar?" Xiudenan said casually, not paying attention to the other party's transgression.

"Master Qianbian, don't tell me that this person next to you is the leader of our alliance who is waiting for the masquerade to come back!" The one-horned fairy named Liebezar spoke loudly.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Are you kidding? This is just a human being! No matter how special he is, he is an ordinary existence that can be easily reduced to ashes with just a flick of our fingers!"

"Libezar!!" Hecate on the side listened and showed an unhappy expression, "I will not allow you to belittle the leader of the alliance like this."

"Master Yu Shao, I know how you feel, but I can't understand why you want to serve such a guy with unknown origins!"

The Red Apostle of Liebezar said and stamped his foot on the ground angrily.

"boom!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely depressing at this moment.

Even in this situation, Xiudenan didn't say anything. His eyes under his sunglasses silently stared at Hikigaya beside him, as if curious about what decision he would make.

Tsk tsk, are you trying to show off your power with me...

Office politics is really scary, and I don’t want to go to work anymore.

Hikigaya felt the gazes of many people around him, and knew that these people were waiting for his reaction to judge his ability as the leader of the alliance.

At present, Hikigaya's best choice is to beat Liebezar violently to show his majesty as the leader of the alliance.

However, in a sense, this approach completely binds oneself to the ritual snake, equating one's presence at the masquerade with the ritual snake.

Although there is nothing wrong with this, Hikigaya instinctively resists this situation...

It always feels like I've entered someone's trap.

"Ahem, you're right." Hikigaya looked at Liebezar in front of him, and said calmly: "I am just an ordinary human being, and I don't need you great apostles to serve me."

"Varied……"

I didn't expect Hikigaya to say such a thing. Not only Liebezar, but all the red apostles present were confused by Hikigaya's words.

What made all the Red World Apostles even more confused was that Hikigaya then stretched out his hand towards Liebezar and said with a calm expression: "So, let us get to know each other first. Hello, my name is Hikigaya Hachiman. .”

"..."

His attitude made the Red Apostle named Liebezar suddenly confused.

The Red World Apostle was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Hikigaya in front of him, not knowing at all whether he should do anything or not.

Chapter 31 Hikigaya Hachiman’s approach

Chapter 31

"Why, don't you want to shake my hand?"

Hikigaya's straightforward act of pretending to be stupid surprised the entire masquerade party.

No one expected that a human would take the initiative to introduce himself as a human to the Red World Apostle, and even look like he wanted to shake hands.

"You and I……"

Liebezar felt as if he had been put on the bench at this moment. Faced with Hikigaya's attitude, it was neither good nor bad.

After all, Hikigaya is the leader of the masquerade party no matter what his identity is. If he denies the other party, it means officially declaring war on the leader.

Even a straight-tempered Red World Apostle like Liebezar cannot commit such a foolish act.

And choosing to shake hands means that the attitude he just showed was all fed to the dog. As the apostle of the Red World, he will not lose face at this time.

"Thousand... Thousand Changes General..." Liebezal had to ask Xiu Denan of the Three Pillars for help in the end, with a pitiful look on his face as if he had been persecuted in some way.

"Hehe, hehe, hahahaha. Idiot, pfft, there really is such an idiot."

But what he didn't expect was that Xiu Denan seemed to have seen something very interesting. He couldn't help but cover his stomach and stood there laughing loudly.

"Your Excellency Qianbian, stop laughing..."

When Hecate saw all this, although he was also confused by Hikigaya's behavior, he still showed a more or less serious attitude.
