After the mud wrestling match, Nox and princess Yui ended up hitting it off, as they bonded over the screams of the vomit-stained dark lord. She also found out about her being the author behind her favorite erotic novel and got a signed copy of both of Nox's books. Having not known about Nox's earlier work, the princess was literally over the moon, and hurried home to enjoy her new book after getting Nox to promise her a signed copy of her next erotic fanfiction.
Once Bluey had gotten bored of flinging the dark lord around, he turned back into a chicken and hopped into Nox's arms as they left to wait in their private room, while the staff finished draining all the fluids from the arena floor.
"Just one more match and the prize money will be mine!" Nox said, as she had a telepathic conversation with Bluey.
"…!"
"Okay, its ours! Though, I'm not sure why you want it? What would you even spend it on?"
"…!"
"Oh, I guess that makes sense!"
"…"
"Well, it's easier to say it out loud! You would get lots of static if I used my thoughts!"
"…"
"How rude! You know, I might just forbid you from playing with that playboy! Between your dirty mouth and that juice you hogged, I'm starting to think he has a bad influence on you!"
"…"
"What do you mean you got it all from me? I have been nothing but an ideal and upright citizen!"
"…!"
"Hey, that was only a suggestion! You were the one who came out the butt! And besides, how can I refuse a royal command to throw you in there? If you're angry at someone, then blame the prince!"
"…"
"Any names and people with similar names and faces were purely coincidental! I just happened to have a photo of people who looked like them!"
"…"
"You weren't born yet, so how would you know?"
As Nox tried to defend her already ruined reputation from Bluey's telepathic accusations, the tournament official came to let her know the finals were about to begin.
"…"
"No, I'm not trying to avoid the subject! We really need to go or do you want to lose the prizemoney we worked so hard for?"
"…"
"That's what I thought! Now let's go!"
When the two entered the arena, they were met with total silence. The once bustling crowds filling the spectators' seats were empty, and so was the stage. They were left in complete silence under a pitch-black sky.
"Hm? Where are the! Oh shi-!"
*Swoosh*
*BOOM*
Just as Nox realized what was going on, she suddenly split in half and exploded before being engulfed in an orb of pure darkness.
