Chapter 135: [Vol.2] Quest 121- End Of The War Games

High in the sky.

“Nox do you know where the flag is?”

‘It’s in my sight as well as Alise and the other’s there quickly cutting through the Alecto Familia.’

“That’s good, do you think I can get there before they do?”

‘Most likely.’

Electricity dances around the metal wings and with a flap it sends Cirrus soaring ever faster.

He spots Nox flying over and dives down.

 

“I’m coming down.”

Nox moves from her area of flight.

Cirrus swoops down at high speed and drops the Familia members he picked from the sky who are all still knocked out as he slides back onto the ground.

Slowly walking the armor disengages evaporating into the air. Cirrus puts back on his Ceryneian armor putting the mask to the side of his head.

“Hmm♪ Hmm♪ Hmm♪ Yoink!” he takes the flag and begins to walk back. “So to the people watching from their own comforts did you enjoy the War Games?" He said looking forward. "I’m sure many of you wanted this to last longer and I am sorry, but it was rather hard to hold back…haa…what I wouldn’t kill for some food right about now.” Cirrus sheathes Brilliant Nightmare, which was improved upon, but Cirrus found that it wouldn't be necessary to use it when his hands were all that were needed.

Walking out to the plains he could see Alise and the others coming.

“Guess I’ll just wait…shit I left my guitar back at the flag…fuck.” Seeing how far they are Cirrus began to tap his finger.

‘Nox do you mind if you take the flag back to base?’

‘If you come with me to shop.’

‘Really?’

‘Yeah! I need some new clothes!’

‘Fine.’

Cirrus holds up the flagpole and Nox came down and grabbed it with her talons, she grew slightly bigger to carry it and flew off.

“For those watching Moon is my Familiar so no saying it’s cheating alright.”

As Cirrus waits Alise and the others arrive to see him up on the top of the cliff with his mask on.

“You…WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS!!!” Alise shouted.

“Even more so that you have the mask and look all wrong.” Said Kaguya.

“Yeah it didn’t look so dangerous! Or evil looking!” said Lyra.

“…Well that hurt my feelings.”

            Cirrus dropped down before them as if it was the ledge of a curb.

'This feeling...why does it remind me of him?' thought Kaguya looking at how lax his guard was.

“He’s strong!” said Kaguya drawing her sword. "Get ready!"

“Don’t draw your sword Kaguya, we both know I can easily match you.”

“…I never even met you.” She said with sharp eyes. “Alise.”

“I know.”

            They all draw their weapons.

“…Seems even after four years Astraea never taught you to use caution or learn to extract information huh?” Cirrus removed his mask showing his face to them.

“!!”

            Alise was shocked but Kaguya dropped her sword.

“C-Cirrus…”

“Uh…yeah um sorry I never told you I mean hell Ai learned faster than-“

“CIRRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!!!!!!!!!!”

            She picked her sword again and clashed with Cirrus.

CLANG!!!

“Still a spitfire as always huh? KAGUYA!!!”

Cirrus then sent Kaguya back to where she was with her Familia, pushing her back with a fraction of his true strength.

“K-Kaguya is he-“

“…Tell me is Zephyr even your real name?” Kaguya said with her sword still on hand.

            Cirrus smiled as he sheathed his weapon again.

“Allow me to properly introduce myself to my Familia, my name is Cirrus Zephyr, the one fool who was stranded on an island for 4 years. Oh and the one who won you the wargame.”

“Huh?”

            A divine window opens up showing Astraea.

“Congratulations! The flag has been returned! We won!”

“B-but how?” said Alise.

            Another window opens to show Ryuu with the flag and Nox perched on the stone throne.

“Cirrus sent his Familiar to Lion-chan! So go round up all the Alecto Familia and return back to the city!” Astraea said before the feed was cut off.

“…Cirrus was it?” Alise said turning her head towards Cirrus.

“Yes that’s my first name.”

“…Shall we have a rematch here!!” she said with fire in her eyes. “Loser has to collect all the Alecto Familia!”

"..." Everyone was silent looking at her.

“…Alise just help get the dam bodies.” Cirrus said walking back to get the bodies of Turn and the members he fried.

“Come on lets go.” Kaguya said.

“Yea we have a lot of people to tie up.” said Neze.

“…W-why is everyone ignoring me!?” Alise said. “Hey! I’m the captain!! Listen to my perfect voice!!!”

 

Walking back to the city.

“So you are the Masked Prince?” Ryuu said looking at Cirrus as well some of the newer members.

“I really don’t like that name just call me Cirrus or Zephyr if you want.”

“Hm al-“

“So are you really part of our Familia!” said Iska a Amazoness.

“Uhh yeah…I am.” He said keeping his guard up around her. “I was Astraea’s 5^th child.”

“Kaguya, Alise, Lyra, Neze how was it when he first joined!” asked Celty an elf.

“Awkward.” Neze said.

“Awkward?” said Ryuu. “How so?”

“When we first met Cirrus he was with the Hermes Familia, we came to ally together and we heard of his actions in Zolingham, and the Kaios Desert, Astraea was particularly angry at his actions.” Kaguya said looking at Cirrus.

“Yes and he disrespected Astraea right after the meeting.” Alise said.

“W-what!?” the rest of the Familia were shocked.

“If I remember right it was right after we came to agreement to help but soon after no actually it was right after the agreement was done Astraea decided to confront me on it.”

“You shifted the entire balance of power in the three desert countries Cirrus! Of course she was going to confront you on it!” shouted Kaguya.

“By the way for you guys to know the Vritra Familia who at the time were more or less as strong as the Alecto Familia who left Orario and were changing the country using their high status’s. They were treated as royalty so getting to them was a pain and I was not as strong as I am now, so I decided to help their enemy in Shalzard and well I was called the Demon of Shalzard.”

“But…you did get rid of the Vritra Familia right?” Ryuu asked.

“Of course, when that happened I had already crushed their morale and with the Hermes Familia we broke through the royal castle and sent Vritra back to heaven. Speaking of that time during my time in Shalzard I met my familiar here.” Cirrus patted Nox’s head.

“Whoa….but why did Astraea get angry with you?” Neze asked curiously.

“Because in that scuffle he killed several innocent soldiers...” Alise said. “And many more horrible things.”

“They were soldiers who indulged in the depravity the Vritra Familia made, so killing them was like a cleanup job, I do admit there were parts I deeply...deeply regret but I think I’ll leave it at that. But much like you two you guys also killed Evilus members in your youth. I mean I'm sure none of them joined them to feed themselves or were taken advantage of right?” he looked at Alise, Kaguya, Lyra, and Neze.

“…” They all didn't look at Cirrus.

“And the funniest thing was Alise called me a murderer, which I took great offense to, so I left to go to the dungeon to release some steam, but your captain over here decided to put me in my place." Everyone looked Alise and she started to sweat a little. "Alise from the start used her magic and drew her rapier and started to attack me until I decided it was enough and I punched her onto the ground, if not for Astraea I would have broken her leg.”

“So you were going to do more!!” shouted Alise.

“I said I’m going to make sure you can’t follow me.”

“What happened after Astraea stepped in.” asked Asta a Dwarf.

“Nothing, she apologized to me for her children’ behavior and I left. We would meet occasionally when on patrol but I mostly didn't interact with them much even after I converted."

“That…really is awkward.”  Celty said.

“So…are you going to be staying at the Familia home?” Lyra asked with a grin.

“!?!?”

            Everyone stopped but Cirrus kept walking while still dragging the bodies of the unconsciousness Alecto Familia.

“No I live with my aunt.”

'But I do have a room...guess I'll keep that to myself.'

“Oh…”
