“Hmm, another of Japan’s Three Great Monsters has graced Chaldea.” Dr Romani mused, concerned about the state of Chaldea’s FATE summoning system.
In theory, it should only summon the spirits of Heroes, the greatest examples of humanity, individuals who The World has accepted as objects of worship after their deaths.
Yet, the System was summoning Anti-Heroic Spirits.
At first, he had put it down to small Glitches in the system, or the System somehow twisting the base definition.
But after more and more singularities passed and were dealt with, Dr Romani was shocked at how diverse the range of ethics and morality skewed in Chaldea.
They had pure Knights, like Chevalier d’Eon and King Arturia, shining exemplars of what the age of chivalry was supposed to be about.
They also had dark and twisted knights, like Lancelot the Dark Knight, and the twisted Tyrant King Arturia who had been part of the inciting incident, who showed the truth that the age of Chivalry tried ever so hard to hide.
They had pure Saints, like Jeanne d’Arc and Saint Martha, those whose existences inspired so much good into the world.
They also had the utter dregs of the human soul, like Angra Mainyu and Jack the Ripper, beings whose existence had never been truly confirmed, but just the idea of them inspired truly horrific acts.
Now, just as Ritsuka enacted the last set of summoning before they rushed off to a much needed rest, two examples of the demons of humanity were summoned.
Two Oni stood side by side.
Both short women, one with black twisted horns that ended in blood red points protruding out of her forehead, the other with pale skin tones that seemed to be dyed wine-red the closer to the point you got, seeming to just flow out of her forehead.
One wore a yellow yukata, loosely hanging off her thin shoulders in a very carefree manner, a floral pattern bringing small patches of colour, large dark beads seemingly holding the loose yukata to her form, a simple sash holds her leotard in place.
Her arms and feet bore the traditional red skin some Oni were known for, with tribal patterns spreading along her body while transitioning into pale skin.
Her matching yellow hair long and flowing, with the tribal patterns centred on a Third Eye-esque design between her horns, with golden eyes glaring at the humans watching the summoning.
Her huge sword of bone was left holstered, for now, seemingly waiting for any excuse to draw the massive blade.
The other oni, while wearing a long and flowing purple and red kimono, somehow seemed to be wearing less than her summon-mate, wearing seemingly nothing but a strange piece of metallic materially, that both hid feminine parts while drawing the eyes of everyone inclined towards the female form to admire what lay beneath the kimono, with similar materials on her hands and feet.
Her short purple hair drawing attention to the small green jewel set between her horns, which in turn drew your eyes to her own lustrous purple ones, her skin seemingly pale yet slightly silver, making it seem like she had a silver-ish tint to her skin.
Unlike her summon-mate, she bore a large crystal gourd, seemingly full of an unknown liquid.
The purple haired Oni opened her eyes wide, taking in the new sights before her.
“Say, my dear Ibaraki. It would seem we have been summoned together.”
Ibaraki-douji, the leader of the Oni of Mt Ooe, just continued glaring at the now nervous humans.
“One word from you and we shall feast splendidly.”
The purple haired Oni laughed, placing a hand on her friend’s shoulder.
“Now now, lets meet our Master before we decide to feast. Who knows, maybe a love of taking what they want runs in their veins, if they were able to summon us both.”
Shuten-douji had just arrived, and Dr Romani worried for the healthy and safety of his staff. A creature of unrestrained hedonism, she could easily corrupt Chaldea from within.
Now, if he could keep Tamm–
“SHUTEN!!!!!!” A blue-robed and pink haired figure rushed in, and picked the short purple haired Oni up in a giant, twirling hug.
Two of Japan’s Three Great Monsters now dwelled in Chaldea, and were apparently friends.
