- Return as Slayer Candidates -

The huge companion walked on the small path that was cleared after some of them got rid of the teddy bears out from their sights.

Altaira who was told to follow them quickly lazily threw the teddy bear that he was holding away as if it was something right to do. Estrella accused him for abusing animals because of that, even though few minutes earlier she was just thinking how to cook that teddy bear.

The path wasn't that big and Charlotte found it a little bit too small. She tried not to look down and kept walking forward, since she knew that she will be afraid if she does it.

When they have walked pass the bridge, they met someone familiar to them.

"You guys are here!" Xia Xia said and called them happily.

"Rabbit!" Altaira called.

"Xia Xia?!"

Khun didn't expect her to be there, so as the others. He looked at Charlotte who noticed his glance and shrugged off.

"I'm so relieved that you got here safely!" Xia Xia said and then ran to them. "Did you find Rachel?!"

"Well....sort of" Khun answered. "So you guys came right to this station."

From Xia Xia's lighthouse, Khun noticed that there was Beta who talked to him.

"Ah, Beta, you are here too? You are happy to see me? Oh....you mean you want me to die...."

He said it lightly as if Beta's words meant nothing or that he was used to hear that someone wishing him to die.

"Anyway, we should settle my unpaid wages first!" said Xia Xia who showed her pocket which was written "Hand over the money".

"Do you have to bring up money as soon as we meet? You are going to end up bald."

"Shut up!!" Xia Xia replied with an irk mark on her head. "That's the most important thing to me! Have you forgotten that I couldn't get paid because you were on the train? I told you! I only work as much as I'm paid!"

Charlotte suddenly remembered something. She shut her fan and then tapped her chin with it.

"Eh, speaking of money....somehow I feel that there is someone who owe me some money" said Charlotte. She tapped her fan to her head, "But I can't remember who he is."

"How could you possibly forget the person who owe you money?" Xia Xia asked. For someone who was crazy of money, she can't understand Charlotte for this. "How are you going to get your money back then?"

Charlotte found it a shame as well. For what she remembered, that person owed her lots of money. But if she can't remember the person, what was the use of it? She suppressed her desire to hit her forehead with her own fan, scolding herself for being stupid.

Khun had transferred some amount of money to the rabbit who danced happily on receiving the money. While she was dancing, Khun suspected her and the others were responsible of the announcement earlier.

"Ah! By the way!" Xia Xia began to say something to them. "Actually, something huge is happening right now at this station!"

Floating Island

She then began to tell them about Endorsi who lost against Kaiser and surely, that shocked the others.

Some time ago, Shibisu and her team received a notice where if Endorsi managed to defeat Kaiser, Zahard Family will spare Anaak Zahard and even handed the life of Lo Po Bia Ren. The one who gave that message to Endorsi was none other than one of her competitors, Lilial Zahard.

It was obviously a trap, but Endorsi insisted to go. Since the name 'Zahard' couldn't be bet, she used her real name instead and she surprisingly lost against Kaiser. Therefore, Shibisu and the others stayed on the station and planned to hunt down all the bosses there before challenging Kaiser again.

According to Xia Xia, Shibisu and the others didn't watch the match, so the only one who knew the details was Endorsi.

"Wait, do you guys know Endorsi Zahard?" Boro asked with a wide smile. "I'm crazy about her. She's so pretty!"

"Control yourself, Boro. Don't embarrass us."

"Who's that perverted oldie over there?" Xia Xia asked. "Control yourself, mister."

After Endorsi lost, she escaped using Bong Bong and avoided being a servant. But if this matter spread out, then it will be the matter of time before she loses all her rights as a princess.

Xia Xia said that she and the others owed Shibisu's Team so they chose to help them.

".....you are not in the position to be helping others" said Khun who could read Xia Xia's intentions. ".......I saw this coming."

Xia Xia was sure that if the princess became a ranker later on, she will definitely give her a special title.

"Actually, Endorsi could have won against Kaiser" said Charlotte who fanned herself leisurely and looked at Khun.

"What?"

"It's just that she didn't know about Kaiser's abilities at the time. But if she could get a second chance, then she will definitely win against Kaiser."

"Then could it be that you know some of Kaiser's abilities as well?"

Charlotte didn't answer but smiled even wider.

"You really know about his abilities?!"

"Is that so, Charlotte?" Bam looked surprised and also happy.

"Actually, knowing her abilities doesn't really matter" said Charlotte who looked at Bam. "Right now, you are even stronger than White. A Kaiser doesn't matter actually. But if you really want to know, then I'll tell you about it later."

"Hey Beta! Hurry up and hand that over!" said Xia Xia to Beta who was inside her lighthouse.

"Ah....well- actually we're also going after Kaiser" Khun told Xia Xia who didn't hear him at all.

Xia Xia pulled a wig and a mask. The wig that she handed to Bam was a brown haired wig with a ponytail and to Charlotte was a white smiling mask.

Bam's expression turned dark when he saw that wig that will turn him into Viole again.

When both Khun and Rak knew Xia Xia's intentions, they argued with her. It took them lots of time to turn Viole and Nox into Bam and Charlotte, how could they possibly let them turn into Viole and Nox again?

But at the end, Bam still wore the wig.

"Perfect!" said Xia Xia. "It really suits you!"

Her compliment did not sound like a compliment.

"Turtle...."

"You really look like Viole! Or wait, I guess you really are the real Viole, right?"

Bam was sweating and he looked quite uncomfortable.

"He's hating it" said Khun who smiled awkwardly. Beside him there was Charlotte who had tied her hair into ponytail like Bam. "He looks like a boy forced to dress up as a girl in hazing."

Charlotte observed the mask and the way she looked at if was as if there was something missing from that white smiling mask.

"Is there something wrong with the mask, Charlotte?" Xia Xia asked.

Charlotte shook her head, "Nothing. I'm just surprised that this mask looks the same with the one that I destroyed. But Nox is supposed to be a boy so if I talk, wouldn't I be discovered?"

In her former mask, she had prepared a voice changer. But this mask didn't seem to have it and considering her voice, she will be recognized as female and they will think that she is fake, for the Nox that they all knew was a man.

Xia Xia pondered about it for awhile before giving her the answer, "Well, don't talk then."

"What? If I don't talk, then how am I supposed to say something when I need it?"

"Maybe you could write on something?"

"I don't even carry a pen with me" said Charlotte.

Reluctantly, she had to wear the mask. Altaira teased Charlotte and seemed to be quite happy that Charlotte was suffering right now and earned a smack on his stomach by Charlotte who used her elbow.

Khun pulled Xia Xia's ears and then said to her, "Hey Xia Xia, shouldn't you tell us why the heck you are doing this?"

"Argh! Let go! I'll explain everything right now!!"

But before she explains to him about her reasons in doing so, she and the others noticed that there were more regulars walking out from the bushes, muttering the words like "Jue Viole Grace" and "Nox" or something like that.

"Looks like I won't need an explanation for this" said the rabbit.

"W- who are those guys?"

"I- it's really him! " said one of the regulars. "It's really them!"

"Jue Viole Grace! Nox!"

"The regular from the E- rank Workshop Battle!"

"The announcement was true!"

"Enemy...?" Khun and Rak guessed. Rak was already holding his spear. "T- there are so many of them."

"Jue Viole Grace....."

"The announcement was true...."

"They keep coming!"

"FUG has really come....to save us."

"LORD VIOLE!!!!"

All the regulars knelt on the ground to worship their God.

"THANK YOU!!! FOR COMING TO SAVE US!!!"

".....what?"

It was two days ago when Shibisu came up with this plan.

He knew that the Ten Bosses were hiding so that Endorsi couldn't hunt them and to challenge Kaiser, therefore, he came up with an idea for it.

He knew that on the train, there were two people who had incredible names. With their names and their power to threaten the existence of this station, with their abilities to save the helpless no- names, they could lure out the Ten Bosses or even Kaiser himself.

Therefore, they made this announcement to ruin the existence of the station and the hierarchy that has been maintained for thousand of years by giving the hope for the helpless no- names so that the Ten Bosses and Kaiser will show themselves up for they can not watch the system they have been maintaining for will slowly be destroyed.

But Bam wasn't aware of that. He had no idea of what was happening. He never announced or tell to anyone that he was going to save those no- names. These regulars just showed themselves and then thanked and also knelt before him as if he was their savior or something.

Compared to Viole, Nox wasn't that great. He wasn't that well-known which was why the regulars didn't seem to care about him that much. But it was a good thing for Charlotte since she won't be able to do anything if she was in her brother's position right now.

He wanted to ask them about what was going on when Xia Xia interrupted him.

"What do you think you're all doing?!" She asked to the no- names. "Viole and Nox are tired since they have just got off the train! They need to rest in order to prepare for their fight with Kaiser, so from now on, please follow the orders from the four lords of FUG!!"

"What....? Four....lords?"

"Exactly! These people are Viole's faithful sidekick! The Four Lords of FUG!" Xia Xia extended her hand to Sachi, Yeon, Hwaryun and Rak.

Charlotte thought that Xia Xia was quite brave for using FUG's name like that. She didn't even dare using FUG's name for helping a Zahard Princess. If the FUG knew that she was using their name to help a Zahard Princess, Charlotte won't be surprised if they cut her tongue to punish her.

"SACHI FAKER, D-RANK THREE STRONGEST, THE CRUEL WIZARD!!!"

"What about me....?" Boro irked.

"THE TERRIFYING FLAME HUMAN, EHWA YEON!!"

"E-excuse me, Xia Xia, I'm from the Yeon Family."

"THE ULTRA PRECISE HUMAN GPS, HWARYUN!"

"......"

"RAK WRAITHRAISER, A REAL MONSTER BORN ON A BANANA FARM!"

"WHAT?!"

"You are all now the subordinates of these Four Lords until Viole and Nox steal Kaiser's name tomorrow night!" said Xia Xia. "You have to fight off the underlings of the Ten Bosses and Kaiser in the named area!!"

"When did she think of those names?" Khun wondered.

"NOW EVERYONE! USHER THEM INTO THE NO- NAMED RESIDENCE!!"

The regulars obeyed Xia Xia's words and began to move.

"Really, the way of her persuading others never fail to surprise me" said Charlotte who was amazed on how Xia Xia was able to persuade these hundreds of regulars within a few words. "But it seems like in their eyes, I'm nothing but an extra."

"The name Nox isn't that well-known compared to Jue Viole Grace" Noah walked and approached her. "Are you disappointed of it?"

"Of course no" Charlotte replied. "I'm actually glad that I'm not that famous. The less famous you are, the more peaceful you life."

Her smiled disappeared as she glanced at Bam.

"But I'm more worried of you, brother. You shoulder all these people's expectations and that we have to fight against Endorsi to get Kaiser's name back" said Charlotte. "Are you okay?"

"I.....I think I'm alright."

The regulars guided the said four lords away, expect that Hwaryun walked on a different path despite of the regulars saying that she walked on a wrong path. Some of the regulars also carried the small Rak who was lost in words.

"Whew-" Xia Xia wiped her sweat. "That's all sorted out now. That was tough."

"Hello, Xiaaa Xiaaa?"

Xia Xia jumped backward when she heard that voice that called her name in all sudden.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU JUST TURNED BAM INTO VIOLE, CHARLOTTE INTO NOX AND EVEN CREATED AN ARMY!" he shouted at Xia Xia's ears. "WHAT?! THE FOUR LORDS OF FUG?! DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD DEAL WITH THIS LATER?!"

"I- I had no choice!" Xia Xia who fell on her knees answered. "I was just doing it for you guys!"

"What....?"

"This is the plan to reclaim the princess' name! If I'd thought you and Endorsi were completely strangers, I wouldn't have helped! Isu asked us, he said you guys would understand. Plus, it's not our real purpose to make Viole or Nox fight against Kaiser."
