Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Knightrider of Doom

"So you dare to approach me! Me, the great Illusionerio!"

"Illusionerio? That's… such a stupid name."

"Muhahaha! Naive!"

"What the fuck are you saying?"

"I will burn you to ashes with my flame-ridden blades, the Crimson Kings!"

"This is just a whole new level of cringe. I'm going to knock you out quickly."

"Muhahaha! Naive! You will surely be crushed beneath my heel, for I, Illusionerio, shall bring ruin and doom to all!"

"Yeah, yeah. Hit me."

"Why aren't you dodging?! Do you not fear the great power of this Dark Knight!"

"You idiot. Your stupid name more or less reveals your gimmick."

"Gimmick?! No, this is true power! Power you cannot perceive! I am not slashing your physical form, but the form you shall take after death! The afterlife shall be out of your reach!"

"Just stop swinging. I know it's an illusion."

"You are a worthy adversa- ARGH!"

"Heh. One punch. Guess I'll go to the shop owner. Although, why am I getting a table?"

Just as I was about to start the staring contest with the shop owner, Mel came in dragging a knocked-out body. "Done, so can we get the table?"

"Aww… why'd you have to be so fast? We were about to have a staring contest!"

"Speaking of staring, can I also have my… eh, not saying friend, my maid here look into your roommate's eyes?"

"Why?"

"Hmm… she has an eye fetish!" 

The shop owner quickly looked at me with an expression of both confusion and disgust. "Yes, I do!" Might as well let it be a thing I have.

"Is that why you were so eager to have a staring contest?"

"Hell yeah, brother!"

"I'll get that table for you two then. Can you come with me, young lady, to discuss the details of it, while your maid looks into my roommate's eyes."

"Sure thing."

"I will stare into your friend's eyes long and hard!"

As Mel and the shop owner walked away, I heard him whisper to Mel, asking if I really had an eye fetish. At this point, I think I do. Probably. Mmm… eyeballs. Anyways, into the other guy's eyes I look into. Pulling open the eyelids, I see mediocre eyes. Seriously, nothing special. Disappointing.
