Bili: You should come with us to that meeting, represent our side.Precious: M–me..?Bili: Yes.Precious: No.100 Tail & Bili: Why?!

Kail (Precious' mana skill): Why not? You should help them.

Precious: When no world protector came during that battle or the previous meetings… then why should I go? And I have other work too.Precious: Because I have something important to do.

100 Tail: Please come with us… please. We can't do much there because we've never been in such meetings. Please…!

Precious: Haah…! Fine. But I have conditions.Bili & 100 Tail: What?!

Precious:

Whatever needs to be said there, I will say it on behalf of both of you.

No matter what anyone says, you two stay silent. I don't want any fight there. Only answer yes or no if someone asks something.

And after the meeting ends, I'm leaving immediately, I have important work.

Bili & 100 Tail: Done.

Bili: By the way… what's your name?Precious: N–Name!

Precious (in mind): What do I say? I can't reveal my real name here, it might cause trouble…Kail: Then give a fake name.

Precious: My name is "MASS."100 Tail: Mass..!

Scene – Inside the meeting room

A large round table is placed in the center. There are 9 chairs. One by one, the kings from every kingdom enter:

From Secret Sky City – King Rental

From Naco Country – Champak (with Yatransh behind him)

From Daiva Kingdom – Damu

From Kalaha Kingdom – Puma

From Nepal Kingdom – Kija

From Eluto Kingdom – Mity

From Mount Land – Mass (Precious)

Everyone has two guards behind them—except Mity, he comes alone.Mass arrives with 100 Tail and Bili.

Everyone takes their seats.Bili, 100 Tail and Yatransh remain standing behind their leaders.

One chair is empty.Seeing that, Puma says:

Puma: Oh? Bili, 100 Tail… why aren't you two sitting? These seats are for you.100 Tail: We came here as guards. Sir Mass will attend on our behalf.Puma: I see…

Rental: Then let's start the meeting.

(The meeting begins)

Kija: According to the info we received, the battle in Mount Land was for the 100 Tail Spirit. And those who came to steal that spirit… were extremely powerful. Everyone knows they were sent by Eluto's King Mity.

Mity (in mind): Tsk! I didn't expect that to be revealed… but anyway… who is the person who defeated my two powerful summons—Arci and Alien Y?!

Rental: So Mity… do you want to say something?Mity: No.

Champak: But I want to know—why did you want the 100 Tail Spirit?! We need an answer.

(Silence fills the room for a moment.)

Mity: I can't answer that.

Damu: How can you not?! Because of you so much destruction happened! What about the people who died?! And Mount Land—it's completely destroyed!

Mity: I am willing to pay for it.

Yatransh: Hmph!Mity: …!

Rental: How much can you pay?Mity: Tell me the number.

Puma: Considering the deaths in Nepal, Daiva and Kalaha… and the destruction of Mount Land… at least 1,000 emerald coins.

Mity: ! That's too much!

Rental: It's too… low. I was thinking 50,000 emerald coins!

Champak: Don't forget, because of you not only 4 lands were destroyed, but Secret Sky and Naco's armies were wiped too.

Mity: Why should I pay Secret Sky and Naco?! I didn't tell you two to go protect Mount Land! That was your mistake!

Kija: Don't forget all of this happened because of YOU. And also don't forget—everyone came with guards… except you.

Mity: ! People like you need guards. I don't. I alone can defeat all kingdoms if I want!

Rental: King Mity!! (loud, intense)Mity: WHAT?!

Rental: You're crossing the limit!Mity: I DON'T FEAR ANYONE—DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!

Rental: You're forgetting… two of the Top 3 Kingdoms are in this room—Naco and Secret Sky!Mity: And Eluto is ALSO in the Top 3! You seem to be forgetting that too!My kingdom is powerful—I built it alone, not by merging with other races like you!

At that moment… Mass releases his pressure.

Everyone—Mity, Yatransh, Rental, Champak, Bili, 100 Tail, Puma, Kija, Damu—freeze in shock, fear and trembling.

Mass: …Silent.

Everyone: !!!!

Mity (in mind): What immense pressure! Even my protection can't stop it…!

Kija: Who are you anyway?!

Mass: My name… is Mass.

Rental: So what do you want to say? You came on behalf of Bili and 100 Tail.Puma: Was the 1k emerald compensation wrong?Champak: And what about the destruction?!

Mass:Eluto Kingdom will pay 30,000 emerald coins to Daiva, Kalaha and Nepal Kingdoms.And from now on, Bili and 100 Tail will live under Secret Sky—because their home was destroyed.For this, Eluto will additionally pay 20,000 emerald coins to Secret Sky.That's it.

Champak: And what about us?!Mass: You had no real loss. The army you lost was made of robots—dolls. Yatransh can recreate them. So for now, you will get nothing.

(The atmosphere relaxes slightly.)

Mass: And… Eluto Kingdom must provide one summoned soldier to every kingdom. Because their soldiers are too powerful.

Mity: That makes no sense!! That's MY army—why would I give them to other kingdoms?! Stupid rule! Fine, I accept I caused destruction, but giving my army is too much! Money is enough! And some unknown person can't come into a meeting and decide what I should do!

Mity keeps talking while Mass listens silently.

Mity: My army protects my wife.You don't have anyone to protect… no one who loves you… so you won't understand. So sit quietly.

Mass: I also… have someone who loves me.And I love her too.

Mity: Oh really? Then she must be an idiot like you. Someone who talks nonsense without logic.

Yatransh: This is going too far, King Mity.

Mity: Oh shut up! A protector will tell ME what to say now?! And why are you even protecting this unknown person?!Does anyone even know who he is?Rental?! Do you know?!

Rental: No.

Mity: See?! A lowly being—no looks, no status—sitting among kings! Throw him out! Who knows what trash he is!

Bili: Mity… you're going too far now.100 Tail: Sir Mass…Mass: I'm fine.

Mity: Hmph! What a shameless fool. After all that embarrassment he still sits here!I bet the girl who "loves" you is also a useless idiot—mental and trash.Maybe she doesn't even love you! Hahahaha!

The instant Mity finishes that sentence—

CRACK!!The entire table splits from the center.Mity vanishes from his seat.A loud "BHOOM!" echoes.

Mity is smashed against the wall.Mass is gripping his neck.Huge cracks spread across the wall.

Everyone freezes in pure shock.
