>>5547875Meanwhile, with Peppa…
You end up at the Kress Kingdom again, teleporting there and ending up near Princess Misa and Beelzebub. The two are… in the middle of what you swear would be a legitimate military meeting, if not for the big, outlined plan of “OPERATION GLITTER GLUE” in bold letters on a whiteboard.
“...I can’t say it’s what I would have thought of after all that happened, but it’s… a unique plan.” you comment. From the look of things, it’s a series of traps being set up to give warning of any of Towa and Dabura’s forces attempting to move into Beelzebub’s newly established domain. Two-pronged approach, an initial barrier that’ll hold them in place… and copious amounts of glue and glitter being thrown at them while they’re stuck there.
“Misa wanted to do something to cheer me up a bit after all that happened last night, and I gotta say, it certainly did.” the Demon Prince says with a grin. “Probably not gonna be able to keep Towa in there, but it WILL humiliate any of the grunts who try to get uppity.”
“Nice.” Well, good that he’s got something to look to going forward. Still, you came here for a reason. “…So, Prince Beelzebub, where’s Basilea?”
“Castle dungeon. Hasn’t tried to escape or anything.” he answers, giving a questioning look to you. You give a very quick explanation on what you want to do, and while… uneasy, he understands the gesture. “…Okay. Go ahead.”
You head on down there. While he calls it a “castle dungeon” it actually does look closer to an underground, more modern prison, though one with some Magical enchantments to it. Still, there she is, with Haru Haru and Shun Shun. You open up the door, and Basilea slowly raises her head to acknowledge you. She gets ready to speak…
…And you get rid of the energy cuffs on her wrists. “You’re free.”
Basilea stares at you, slack-jawed. She then looks down at her wrists, in slight disbelief. You nod your head to her, motioning for her to follow you, and she stands up. The two Majin girls stand as well, getting in front of her protectively. “You don’t expect us to believe you, right?” Shun Shun growls out at you.
…And Basilea just grabs the both of them under her arms, and slowly and deliberately walks towards you. Okay, she’s taking them with, but not urging their freedom too. Can work with that. Plus it is kinda funny seeing the bewildered looks on the twins’ faces. You both walk out together, out of the dungeon, and out of the castle. Still got some things to talk with her about…
