Hades was about to attack again, when a white explosion erupted between them. In the chaos, he saw a grin on Arsene’s face, with the fox mask he often wore (he had it on again).

“Hey now, break it up you three beacons of chaotic energy!”

…What?

“There, now that I have you attention,” Arsene continued in a challenging voice, “I would like someone to explain to me what glorious anarchy I missed?”

Okay, what the heck? Seth was nowhere near as troublesome as this. The thief didn’t even give Hades a chance to answer.

“Oh come now, surely someone can tell me what just happened?”

“I will throw you out a window, Arsene!” …What?

Hades would have probably drawn the Muramasa in self-defense by now, but Arsene said the last thing Hades expected to hear.

“Being thrown out a window would be a thrilling experience, I’m sure. Could I get some popcorn and a soda before you do inevitably launch me out a window.”

… … …Hades was very bewildered. Even Alessio pulled a face at this remark. “Don’t worry, he’s just kidding.”

“No, I’m not Arsene!”

Did Arsene even grasp the possible danger in this situation.

He obviously didn’t, because he smirked at everyone without any fear. “He could have become a nice comedian if he hadn’t become a detective.”

It was official. Arsene was either crazy or really stupid.

“Now that we’ve all made death threats and sent menacing looks at each other, could we get some sleep?”

Alessio finally managed to speak without being interrupted. “I just want to go to bed without being murdered.”
