Six Kings Festival

**Six Kings Festival** is the first all-inclusive festival of the Demon Realm; unlike previous celebrations held separately by the six. With the purpose of revitalizing the realm by having unity between the territories. It is held for a single week. It is held one month before the Hero Festival.

## History

### Founding

Kuro conceived the idea for the festival due to the Demon Realm lacking a unified festivity; plus she wanted to enjoy a festival with Kaito. Lillywood and Magnawell were apprehensive as there was nowhere they could hold it; until Kuro explained Shiro created an island for them to host it on in exchange for an extra day to the festival so that she may attend with Kaito. Isis and Alice backed Kuro, while the indifferent Megiddo went along with it; outnumbered, Lillywood and Magnawell conceded. Megiddo was put in charge of security, while Magnawell was put in charge of transport. Alice began working to set up stalls and other games; earning her funds in the process. Isis helped Lilywood, despite her clumsiness.

The God Realm, Symphonia Kingdom, Hydra Kingdom and Archlesia Empire all pitched in to help build the venue.. To this end, the built a city as big as Symphonia's capital; aside from the tower, the entire city would change form based on which day of the festival it was.

Each of the first six days will be a different theme based on the King who is running it; the order was chosen by lottery. Kuro with an orthodox festival, Megiddo with a competition theme, Lilywood's based on the Sacred Tree Festival, Magnawell has his promoting understanding monsters, Isis chose one similar to a flea market due t her love of books and flowers, and Alice's is, well, just what you'd expect.

### First Festival

#### Day 1: Megiddo

The Six Kings put on a performance, creating a mountain landscape (Magnawell) and levitating it into the sky (Kuro); destroying it as a marvelous display (Megiddo). The debris was then frozen (Isis) and caught by trees (Lilywood), only to then be destroyed completely by Alice clones.

Megiddo's festival had games and quizzes for all ages along with regular combat orientates events. If one cleared the conditions set by the ones running rhe attractions, they earned a stamp; stamps can then be traded in for prizes. The Five Warlords are in charge of combat only attractions; earning all five stamps from them grants the honor of a fight with Megiddo.

Kaito's challenge came in three sets: clay sculpting, Othello and an obstacle course. Kaito's failed dog sculpture was mistaken for a rock gun dragon and put up as a prize in a rock-paper-scissors auction. The event was life commented on by Alice and Fate.

A wrap party was held at 8 PM. Megiddo taught Kaito that victory made alcohol taste better, as the sense of accomplishment provided a seasoning beyond physically ingredients

#### Day 2: Lillywood

The venue was transformed to resemble the elven village of Rigforeshia, complete with the buildings changed to look like log cabins and plenty of forest. Lillywood has rare and hard to find plants for sale. Compared to the previous day, this one serves as a breather for those exhausted from the competitions.

Lillywood guided Kaito, followed by Vier and Nuen; Lillywood starts to understand her feelings towards Kaito. Lillywood shared the origin of the peerage system for demons; that Alice did it for convenience to organize information. Plus remove 70% of demons who were unruly and a threat.

At the end of the day light trees softly illuminated the area; given a gentle and peaceful conclusion to the day.

#### Day 3: Isis

Isis put most of her incredibly rare and near extinct possessions up for sale, leading to quite the auction. Additionally the other Six Kings would contribute, along with Shiro; including incredibly rare wine and tea from the god realm.

Additionally she gave permission to whomever wished to sell their wares to also sell at the festival. Peerage holders demons ran the stalls Isis had commissioned, allowing her to go visit them witnout worry. Surprisingly, festival attendees were not excessively fearful; turns out Isis's love for Kaito diminished her threatening death aura.

Kaito bid in the auction, gaining Nuen's old journal (which he planned to give back to her out of courtesy), while calming Lunamaria by promising to get her baby castellas made by Kuro; the auction had some odd things, like Kuro's cooking. Alice managed to get weapons from her Miscellaneous Goods Store sold by using one of her aliases. Isis won a miniature pet garden for Kaito as thanks for a brooch he got her previously; being the most expensive item bid. Magnawell also gifted Kaito some funds to enjoy the festival.

Unfortunately, Alice and Megiddo got to a fight again; forcing Isis and Kaito to calm them down. Though Kuro arrived to punish the two for disturbing the festival patrons; leaving the two to repair the damage she did punishing them. Kaito and Isis later shared a drink, leading to passionate kiss that drew a crowd; after all its the Death King and one respected by all Six. Kaito later learned that a lot of games with similar ones to the harmless festival attraction in his world were quite fatal to him.

Fireworks were set off to end the third day.

#### Day 4: Magnawell

As the fourth day was to be about better undertand of monsters, attendees were encouraged to bring their own pets. Kaito and Chris being some of them. The city is set up similar to a zoo, along with the usual stands.

The morning was a bit turbulent due to Pandora, Lilia, Eden and Kuro's usual antics. Kaito considered helping Seige aquire a monster for a pet. Fors used a magic to dye Nuen's hair and eyes to avoid sticking out and being recognized as Hikari. Turns out RINGTOSS has at least three of the Kings secretly in the top five. Vier and Nuen used the pet riding area to get closer to Kaito; though Magnawell scolded Vier for being too forward.

Kaito tried his luck at the monster lottery, winning a monster egg for Sieg. It hatched into a black rainbow dragon, which could produce jewels whenever it wished. Alice paid 100 white gold coins for a gem. Zwei showed up later, ruining the mood for Kaito, Nuen and Vier; luckily she internally freaked out upon meeting Kaito and left. Vier asked to see Nuen's diary, with Kaito reading the entries that were in Japanese; it was no gloriously tale, but Nuen's food thoughts.

Alice was punished by Kaito and Kuro for betting on the races. Kaito later went on a gondola ride with Vier and Nuen; enjoying the sunset. Kaito later visitd Sieg, who was teaching her dragon whom not to trust; even naming the dragon Selas. Raz and Shea also ran into Kaito before the end of the night. Zwei made an appearance at the festival, scaring the daylights out of the rest if Kuro's family; though she backed off as Kaito was with them.

The festivities ended at 10pm.

#### Day 5: Alice

As expected of Alice, the entire festival had taken the form of gaming in one way or another. Contrary to belief, most of the attractions were gains largely based on Earth on a more accurate level than previously. Included were attractions to let others experience what it was like to he powerful as a high ranking demon. Though Alice did reveal she's the only one of the kings making a profit from the festival; the other five had no desire to claim the funds.

Alice pondered if Kaito would have enough time to complete Shiro's challenge; having learned through a clone from Eden about the loophole in the two gods contract. One of the attractions was Lovely Illuminatiion, which wasn't as pleasant as it sounds; as one pathway broke the spirit of loners.

Alice was punished by Kaito for giving Kuro and Isis silly ideas, which were the source of his grief.

#### Day 6: Kuro

Kuro had the most normal of the themes, basing it off Japanese festivals. Plus magic tool sales. Unfortunately there was way too many baby castella stands; even Alice thought Kuro overdid it with odd in different flavors. Adding to his woe was a restaurant serving mind bogging different varieties that Kuro chose for lunch.

The magic tool sales included not only Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, but also many others. Hina and Aoi were considering a magic tool purchase, but didn't think they could get it; Lilia was clueless to commoner money management mindsets. However, Kuro reminded them about an allowance she had given them 100 gold coins. Turns out Kuro makes money mostly off 80% of patents and 70% rights for mining magic crystals. Alice came up with the concepts and tales 20% of Kuro's income as payment; explaining how the perpetual poverty king can pay her subordinates.

Kuro revealed she created a private attraction for just herself and Kaito; a planetarium. Elsewhere, Lilia finally had a day where she couls relax without stress. Illness along with the other Ten Demons reported to Alice, but ran into Kaito; the two enjoyed dinner together. The Ten Demon were called for the purpose of warning of Shiro's intentions. At the same time, Kuro was called away by Shiro for a conversation.

#### Day 7: Collage

The plaza was empty aside from Chronois, Fate and Life instructing the lessee gods against fighting peerage holder demons and the Six Kings. Shiro joined Kaito dor a date. Fate, Life and Chronois were stuck making Shiro happy by setting up the attractions that Kaito had been too with the other lovers. Shiro kindly had the fortune-teller Elise blessed by the God of Commerce in gratitude. Kaito spent the day in awkward agony, with Shiro being unrelenting in replaying all the attractions; despite his obvious apprehension.

The big final party of the evening had the Six Kings making small talk and enjoying dinner with the guests. The Kings along with Shiro and the Goddesses all had a table, while Alice skipped out and left Pandora as her stand in again. Chronois announced for Shiro that eveyone would be given the provisional blessing of Life as a reward for creating such fun; secretly it was to prep Kaito's allies for the confrontation at the end of the year.
