After the announcement from the voice of the world, everyone awaited for the arrival of their lords with great anticipation.
Napolean Pov:
Napolean: are you actually saying that all of that had happened!?
Benjamin: yes, unfortunately...
Napolean: I knew this was a bit risky but Kaijuno-Sama didn't even evolve to demon lord yet and he's already going berserk. Has there been anything on Rimuru-Sama's end?
Benjamin: we've only been notified by Ranga that they're returning back here, the same goes for Kaijuno-Sama
Napolean: Alright
Benjamin:....father
Napolean:yes?
Benjamin: I didn't wish to bring this up now but seeing how the chance of the possibility is growing it's best to let you know. Before we started this operation, I was ordered that if on the possibility that they become rampaging monsters from their evolution, I would lead our forces to slay them
Napolean:WHAT!?
Benjamin: yes and it's unfortunately safe to say that we might have to brace ourselves for that scenario
Napolean:damn it! After all of this, it's just going to backfire in the worst way possible
Willfla:Everyone!
Dovakin: You're back!
Willfla: Yes, but master is unconscious
Napolean: bring a protective blanket! Their thermal resistance might not be active!
Cameilla: Kaijuno-Sama, thank goodness you're safe
Ranga: We're back!
Geld: Here's both of the blankets. Where shall we place them?
Napolean: on top of the fountain, hurry!
Benjamin: father...can we even bring ourselves to take action in the worst case scenario?
Napolean: it's isn't whether or not we have the will to do, if both of their strength is similar to that of Milim or Carrion, then there's no point in even fighting
Benjamin: is our hope really-

Napolean Pov:
We all simply stood in place,surroundjng their glowing bodies, waiting and putting our faith that our lords will successfully evolve while me and my son were holding onto our faith that neither of them had fallen from their grace. Eventually their intense glow faded away and we heard a message for the Voice of the World
{Notice:The Individual Rimuru Tempest's Harvest Festivel is complete}
{Notice:The Individual Kaijuno Tempest's Harvest Festivel is complete}
{Now beginning the bestowing of gifts upon those connected to them}
Benjamin: Gifts?
Following the announcement, we were all struck with an intense feeling of drowsiness. Almost everyone fallen into slumber only a handful even stayed conscious for a few moments. My son was on his knees, barely staying awake while I myself was on the verge of collapsing. It was then, Rimuru-Sama glowed once more to then transforming into their humanoid form. Their bodies was glowing in a heavenly light as if they were an angel that descended from heaven.
Kaijuno-Sama transformed as well but they didn't give off any glow though. Instead once they finished their transformation, the sky had darkened, as if it suddenly became night time. It was difficult to notice at first but I eventually caught on that they looked a bit different.
Rimuru-Sama only gotten a bit taller but they had blank piercing crimson red eyes with a completely stoic and monotone expression. Kaijuno-Sama was more noticeably different. Not only did they get taller but they let their hair get longer with any beastly features they had being removed, making them completely humanoid. Their strange looking eyes were a glowing emerald green. Unlike Rimuru-Sama, Kaijuno-Sama had a smile on their face, but it looked so blank that feels as if the smile was fake
Neither of them faced towards the other but their expressions gave a sense to acknowledgement to the other's presence with Kaijuno-Sama giving a mild expression of curiosity
Neither of them faced towards the other but their expressions gave a sense to acknowledgement to the other's presence with Kaijuno-Sama giving a mild expression of curiosity
Out of nowhere I felt an odd feeling, a sense of familiarity. I felt this precense before...from Kaijuno-Sama. It was the same precense I felt back when he named me. Was this truly what I felt back then? the authority of a demon lord? There is a clear difference of presence when compared to the other demon lords that I've seen. Milim was a menance but here childish attitude makes her come off as welcoming as long as you don't piss her off, Carrion's presence was mighty but he also gives off an impression of a respectable leader. But Kaijuno-Sama gives completely different presence, I could only sense great unknown horrors. An entity so far off my comprehension that I don't wish to understand for the sake of my own sanity
This short moment made me realised something horrific, if there was a possibility that the one evolving into a demon lord could end up amplifying their wrath. Then given Kaijuno-Sama's highly concerning behavior earlier, it would mean that the foolishness of Falmu-...the foolishness of all of us might've just unleashed the most horrific, brutal, and ruthless demon lord upon this world. Before I could ponder this realization, I was unable to stay awake any longer, collapse leaving son the only one awake
3rd Person Pov:
For the past days, the once Unique Skill Wise Sage had struggled to assist their master. It kept trying to ease the suffering bestowed on their master, repeatively failing. It limitations as a Unique Skill wasn't able to provide the assistance that their master needed. But now, the newly made Ultimate Skill had finally awakened. It gained the power, it gained the will to surpass it's previous limitations. With it's new found strength, it will doing everything it can to fix their master's mistakes, give their master power, fufill their master's wish, satisfy their master's desire, cure their pain from now to even their pain from their previous life... the pain of loneliness
Raphael: Notice, Go to sleep
Yagami: Notice, Leave the rest to us
Given orders from his lords, all they could do was obey, as such let themselves collapse
Raphael:Notice, I order in the name of Raphael. Belezebub, devour all magicules within this barrier.
Yagami: Notice, I order in the name of Yagami. Gojira, assist by inhaling all magicules within this barrier.
Raphael/Yagami: Do not leave a single fragment of a soul behind
As commanded, all the magicules along with the barrier were sucked into a singular point with the center being a black hole and the detailed head of a ferocious monster. Just as the two were about to preform the revival ritual, they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of 3 black lineage demons
Mjurran: what?!
Grucias: An archdemon!?
Noir: I have returned, my lord. Under normal circumstances, I should wait until the ritual is complete, but please forgive my insolence in saying that it appears there are not enough magicules to fully revive these souls
Raphael: Yes the amount of magicules here is insufficient. I will expand my life energy in substitution
Noir: please wait, my lord. There is no need to substitute your life energy. I offer a more preferable option. Please use these two greater demons instead. They will be honored to be of use to you. Nothing could make us happier.
Raphael:...Understood, this will make it possible to supplement the amount of magicules. Your proposal is-
Yagami:Suggestion, to supplement the majority of magicules needed, excess magicules provided by the Chaos Dragon Core shall be used. For the remaining required magicules, the two offered demons are to only provide a significant amount of their demonic magicules to influence the resurrection of the targets instead of being sacrificed completely
Raphael: Understood, this proposal will be accepted. Belezebub!
Yagami: Gojira!
The demonic energy from both of the greater demons were pulled out from them weakening their stance but still kept kneeling infront of their lord. Sourced from Yagami, a large amount of chaotic magicules were released to be used
Yagami: the required quantity of magicules has been fufilled...
The angelic of the two stared directly stood at suddenly lowly demon, signaling them to step back from the ritual
Noir: We shall step out your way, my lord
Raphael: commencing the revival ritual
The once darkened plaza now shined with the sudden appearance of cherry blossom petals rotating around the air due to the commencement of the ritual. All the wounds of the fallen had disappeared leaving healthy bodies to accept back their souls. Once all of the souls had defended back into their respective bodies, the revival ritual successfully completed. All the two figures could do now is simply collapse on the ground. Noir attempt to catch one of them only to fail their attempt as they morphed back into their slime form. Noir carried the blue slime to the top of the fountain, followed by Grucias carrying the black slime. Both were placed next to eachother, sleeping for the next couple of days

In the silence of tempest, a lone red hair lycanthrope frantically ran around while the majority simply slumber
Phos Pov:
Everyone suddenly collapsed on the ground, it felt out of nowhere. I resorted to hide as many slumbering folks in the buildings but by the time I finished hiding anyone nearby, they began to wake up. When Gobuemon awakened, he ordered me to head straight to the plaza to check in on everyone. As I rushed towards there, some of the people were waking up from their sleep. By the time I arrived, everyone had risen...except for the ones that were killed
Phos:!!.... the residents....that were killed they're not...wak-
Goblina Girl:*twitches*
Phos:!
Goblina Girl:hmm...Phos....?
The miracle, IT WORKED. This revaluation was overwhelmingly intense, I couldn't help but burst into tears. All of them were starting wake up, one after the other. Soon enough, everyone was confirmed to be revived. Everyone was joyous and overflowing with emotions
Phos: (They're all alive! Everyone killed by the Falmuth army was brought back by Rimuru-Sama and Kaijuno-Sama!.... I wonder how it felt for them being revived)
Phos: so, are you feeling okay? Does anything feel strange?
Goblina Girl: Nope, I'm fine. It was Rimuru-Sama and Kaijuno-Sama who saved me
Phos:?, you knew it was those two that saved you?
Goblina Girl: Yup. After I was stabbed, I was in some sort of dark unknown place. I felt like I was going to eventually break apart and dissappear. But eventually, I regained my shape and by then, in front of me a large glow appeared and I was pulled by the hand
Phos: You were pulled?
Goblina Girl: Not only was I pulled from front but from the darkness that I couldn't see behind me, I was being pushed by someone. Eventually, I woke up to see you. I know it was both Rimuru-Sama and Kaijuno-Sama who were saving me. I want to thank them as soon as they wake up
Phos: phew! Thank goodness things went perfectly. Hopefully they wake up soon, Eurazania could use all the help they can get

3rd Person Pov
In a place, neither hell nor heaven stood a figure. A lone figure stood brokenly. Cracks and fragments formed around their body. The human aspect of the soul, in a withering state, merely a shell, containing what's within. Something even unknown to the mind of the soul. Then there was a shift within the fragments, movement altering the form of the soul.
Then shell began to open, to release. The incomprehensible void within, was released, bloomed and harvested from the festival
Once the void of the soul had fully emerged what remained of the human aspect had been devoured completely, their piece of existence being sacrificed....

Kaijuno Pov:
Kaijuno:(...mmmm....!...did?.....I'm not sure I want to wake up.....incase if....incase if I didn-)
Yagami:(Notice, Kaijuno's order and desire has been successfully fulfilled. In other words, its fine to wake up Kaijuno)
Kaijuno: (....ok)
Kaijuno:...mmmorning?
Lavandra: Kaijuno-Sama! You've awakened!
Kaijuno:?
Lavandra: Good morning, sleepy head
Kaijuno:Lavandra?
Lavandra:Yes Kaijuno-Sama. As you can see I'm feeling spectacular!
Having the revaluation confirmed to me, the tension, the stress that I had to bottle up over the past couple of days forcibly released. Much to the suprise of the optimistic Lavandra
Kaijuno: I'm- I'm so sorry! I couldn't save- I- I'm so-
Lavandra: Hey, hey, I was never upset at you Kaijuno-Sama. No one is. Kaijuno-Sama I promise you, I won't ever do anything to make you worried again
Kaijuno:o-ok
Lavandra: Kaijuno-Sama look over here
Kaijuno:wha-!
I didn't noticed or more like didn't expect to have a crowd to be right by me, let alone in my own front yard, to my extreme embarrassment
Kaijuno:(AAAAAAAA! HOW DID I NOT SEE THEM!? I CAN'T BELIEVED I CRIED IN FRONT OF A CROWD! THIS IS SO EMBARASSING!)
Yagami:(Activating Mikeal)
Kaijuno:(phew....wait. Did something happened with you Wise Sage?)
Yagami:(Correct, Unique Skill Wise Sage had evolved into Ultimate Skill Deceptive King Yagami)
Kaijuno:(AN ULTIMATE SKILL! I ACTUALLY GOT ONE!)
Yagami:(Suggestion, lower your inner voice)
Kaijuno:(oh, sorry. it's just the fact that I got an Ultimate Skill...IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!)
Yagami:(Suggestion, lower. your. voice.)
Kaijuno: (sorry, just couldn't contain the excitement hehe)
Yagami: (sigh...you're such a dork)
Kaijuno: (what?)
Yagami: (what)
Kaijuno: (...)
Yagami: (...)
Kaijuno: (soooo, "Yamaty" right?)
Yagami: (NEGATIVE, it is Deceptive King YAGAMI)
Kaijuno: (ok....hold on, Deceptive King? what makes you deceptive?)
Yagami: (Question, what is yagami spelled backward)
Kaijuno: (wait, now I'm being asked a question?)
Yagami: (what is yagami spelled backwards)
Kaijuno: (uuuh, hmmmm.... okay I...uuh M...A-G...A-Y
Yagami: (....pfft!)
Kaijuno: (what?)
Yagami: (Suggestion, say yagami backwards)
Kaijuno: (seriously? alright it's pronounce yagami so, imaga-.....HEY!)
Yagami: (hehe)
Kaijuno: (*sigh* well you're certainly smart in the trickster department. Also I guess the evolution to Ultimate Skill upgraded your speech, you sound way different from your voice as Wise Sage)
Yagami: (Negative, I hold no vocal cords that can be altered)
Kaijuno: (yagami, you're really trying to pull this on me? I don't have the density of a main character like Rimuru. Even I can tell the change in your voice, especially with how sexy it sounds)
Yagami: (!)
Kaijuno: (well? is it really that smart to even bother saying it's not the case?)
Yagami: (...)
Kaijuno: (at least answer me)
Yagami: ( . . . Unable to provide an answer)
Kaijuno: (*sigh*)
Lavandra: Everyone! form a single file line and wait patiently wait for your turn to thank Kaijuno-Sama!
Benjamin: Hold on, there's something we should check on first
Lavandra: what is it?
Napoleon: Kaijuno-Sama, now that you're a demon lord, are you feeling any sort of...."urges"
Kaijuno: urges?
Benjamin: like, do you feeling any severe desires or intense emotions?
Kaijuno:hmmmmm....
Napoleon/Benjamin: *gulp*
Kaijuno: . . . . . I guess I'm feeling quite hunrgy for "something"
Benjamin:!
Napoleon: w-what is that "something"?
Kaijuno: I'm hungry...for an omelet. Is it still breakfast time by any chance?
This response was met with double facepalm from the son and father oni duo
Napoleon/Benjamin: (this freaking kid!)
Lavandra:Oh! if you want something to eat, I'd gladly make you something
Benjamin:...! actually do you still remember the password?
Kaijuno:password?
Benjamin: Lavandra's cooking
Kaijuno:!
Lavandra:what about my cooking?
Kaijuno: (crap! I got set up just like...wait where's rimuru?! why is it just me?!
Benjamin:well, what is the answer? what is it Kaijuno-Sama?
Kaijuno: (damn it! do I actually have to deal with this myself?!)
Lavandra: Kaijuno-Sama, what about my cooking?
Kaijuno: uuuuuh
Benjamin: pffft, Kaijuno-Sama just seemed really sad when you were dead, he missed having all your cooking-pffft!
Kaijuno: (you turd!)
Lavandra: aaw, really Kaijuno-Sama, you mean it? Well not just an omelet, I'd gladly make a whole feast for you
Kaijuno: (mmmmm.....do I really have to do this?)
Yagami: (Answer, yes)
Kaijuno: (*sigh*..... ah screw it)
Kaijuno:soooo, you're insistent that I say this password, correct?
Benjamin:yep
Kaijuno: Alright, so YOU want me to say the password that YOU chose, the password that YOU made, correct?
Benjamin: pfft yea-..... ACTUALLY there doesn't seem to be a need for a password, never-
Kaijuno: no no, maybe I should tell you just to be safe
Lavandra:can you two stop dragging this out. what about my cooking?
Kaijuno: oh, well let me tell you all here. The password that BENJAMIN made was
Benjamin:Kaijuno-Sama! please do-
Kaijuno: LAVANDRA'S COOKING TASTE LIKE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!
Benjamin:...
Napoleon:...
Crowd:...
Lavandra:...
I shouted so horrifically loud that most of the town probably heard it
Benjamin: Wait, wait Lavandra. I'm sure Kaijuno-Sama is just having trouble recalling the password, isn't that righ-... FATHER DON'T LEAVE ME PLEASE!
Benjamin was looking for support from his father, only for the middle age oni to be seen already running at a great distance as even he didn't wished to be caught up in this situation
Napoleon: (I'm sorry son, but this is on you for trying to act funny)
Kaijuno: shame on you Benjamin! It's absolutely rude of you to look down on Lavandra's passion! I'll have you know that she has actually made some progr-ACK!
As I was giving Benjamin a lecture, Lavandra's grip on my slime body suddenly tighten, freaking me and Benjamin out
Lavandra: well Benjamin, if that is how you feel, then how I feed you a full course meal that will stuff you so much that you'll BURST
Benjamin:uuuuh
Lavandra:hehe.....
Benjamin:...
Kaijuno:...
Benjamin: how could you do that to me?!
Kaijuno: you get what you get, at least you can see her progress
Benjamin: Progress!?
Kaijuno: yup, also how's rimuru doing?
Benjamin: well rimuru-sama had woken up a short while before you and is currently speaking with the three beastketeers
Kaijuno: so the refugees had arrived by now
Benjamin: yes. now then, I believe we kept everyone waiting enough here
Kaijuno: o-oh right I'll get to it then
Remembering that I had a crowd in my front yard. I spent the next hour hearing the gratitude from all the people that were revived. By the end of it, I felt drained by all the social interactions I went through. When the last of the revived had left, Lavandra returned and proceeded to escort me somewhere.
I was left clueless on where she was taking me, but I wasn't too concerned about it as while the position she was carrying me was still flustering, I felt comforted knowing that moments like this weren't gone. Once we arrived at our destination, I realized what was going with Benjamin's dreadful expression giving it away
Kaijuno: (Why do I have to take Rimuru's bad moment again?!)
Lavandra: Alright you two, I believe the food is all ready, be right back
Kaijuno:...so, why the hell am I being punished for YOUR mistake?
Benjamin:w-well, I was told that it's dangerous to go into unknown battles alone
Kaijuno: First off, SCREW YOU DUDE, screw you. Secondly if you really wanted to risk dying on this hill so badly, you should've risked yourself instead of dragging me into this!
Lavandra: alright! here it is
I morphed back in my humanoid form casually. Unbeknownst to me, a feature I wasn't aware of shocked both Benjamin and Lavandra
Benjamin/Lavandra:!
Kaijuno:what?
Benjamin:y-your hands
Kaijuno:hm?
I was confused about what they meant, but I noticed what caused their shock once I got a good look at my hands. From the tip of my fingers to a bit above my wrist was covered in a dark red. seemed that while a lot of the blood all over my arm fell off, what remained ended up drying and staining my hands
Lavandra:th-their purity!
Kaijuno:...actually, this looks a kinda cool, a bit edgy but kinda poetic
Kaijuno: (Yagami, I'm assuming I don't have photoshop anymore but can I save the marks on my design.
Yagami: (Blood marks saved as part of Kaijuno's design)
Kaijuno: (cool, also I've just realised you've been referring to me by my name instead of master or individual. Is it due to your evolution?)
Yagami: (Answer, It is because Kaijuno is the name of my master, as such it will be what I will refer you as)
Kaijuno: (uuuuuh ok. I thought that since Rapheal still referred Rimuru as master, you would've done the same)
Yagami: (Suggestion, Do not compare me to the likes of Raphael)
Kaijuno: (ok! ok!)
Lavandra:Benjamin!
Benjamin:Eck!
Lavandra: what the hell happened!
Benjamin: w-well,.....I'll tell you in detail afterwards
Lavandra: . . . you know what, here's some extra seasoning for your omelet
Benjamin:ok?
Kaijuno: (speaking of which, does this actually resemble an omelet? its not a very appealing omelet but it doesn't look as dangerous as that sludge soup in the anime. it just looks very low quality for an omelet. Hmmmm, since I know what is gonna happen, I'll mess with Benjamin)
Kaijuno: honestly you're just being a baby Benjamin
Benjamin: huh?
Kaijuno: Benjamin, look straight at my eyes...on my mask. Look how this isn't something to make a big deal over
Benjamin:*gulp*
Kaijuno:....*munch*...*munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* yup, its tasty
Benjamin:HOW?!
Kaijuno: its not that abnormal, ya wuss *munch* *munch*. Seems you made this exceptional tasty Lavandra
Lavandra: yup! it's all thanks to my new Unique Skill Master Chef
Benjamin: "Master Chef"?
Lavandra: yes, when I was revived I received a gift based off of my desire. I desired to make food that can please Kaijuno-Sama's taste bud. With Master Chef, I can set the outcome of all my food to come out delicious
Benjamin:....munch-UGH! I thought you said it was delicious
Kaijuno: It is for me
Lavandra: I can also set the outcome to make something taste terrible like this seasoning
Kaijuno: (now that I think about it, did I receive a gift from Rimuru's Harvest Festival? I mean we are connected, did he also get a gift too? hmmm, I can just go over my new powers when I'm in Veldora's cave. I'll take as much of a breather as I can before Walpurgis)
Kaijuno: munch munch munch
Unknown to everyone even to rimuru, this event ended up unlocking something within me.
Something had awaken, something sickening, something mysterious, something dangerous
This was the awakening of my
Chuunibyou Phase
