Chapter 375 - Chapter 375: A Rabbit, Hamlet, And A One Armed Bandit!: Welcome To The 12th Nova Clash! (Part 19)

"On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere. I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a-starin', out the window at the darkness. 'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak. He said, 'Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces. And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice.' So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression. Said, 'If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done.' Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin.' Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep. 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser. And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window. Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even. But in his final words, I found an ace that I could keep. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done...Oh well hello there viewers, and yes this is Angel Bluebell here. And I am so sorry that I didn't see all of you lot there just a wee little bit sooner...*I proceed to go and say this, while I am also proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute and all too familiar looking blush is also currently present on my face. To which I then proceed to go and open both of my light blue eyes back up again, in order for me to continue, to go and properly address the viewers*...And for those of you were also at all wondering as to what I was just singing? Well viewers, I was just singing 'The Gambler,' by the late, and yet still one and only Kenny Rogers. But anyway viewers, I think that I have now gone and dragged things on for more then long enough, with regard to my current fourth wall breaking for long enough don't you? Well at least for the current moment viewers. As you know how I usually tend to break the fourth wall in most of these chapters at least more then once. Now then viewers with that now having been said, how about we get on with the mandatory chapter recap now, hmm?...*I proceed to go and say this, and this is also while I am also proceeding to currently go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute looking blush is also now currently present on my face. And this is also while I am also proceeding to go and currently do this, in my usual very cute looking manner as well*"

Date: September 28, 2019

Okay, so getting back to the currently still ongoing situation and battle at hand. Which was just after I had gone and done my usual end of chapter fourth wall break moment, at the tail end of the last chapter.

And this was also after me, and every single one of my allies in The Four Aces Alliance, had all ended up in the Infinity Castle of the anime canon timeline of Demon Slayer. And this was also after one Vash The Stampede, who for those who did not already know who he was. Was someone who originated from the anime canon timeline of Trigun. 

Which thanks to Vash and his very clear ability to be able to hide in plain sight. And with an equal thanks with regard to Rico, who for those who did not already know who she was. Was someone who originated from the anime canon timeline of Gunslinger Girl. 

And this was also after both Vash The Stampede, and also Rico, had both also proceeded to go and make quick work of one of the many Nova that still remained standing. What with Rico making great use of her high caliber and long range sniper rifle, to completely destroy one of the aforementioned Nova that were still standing at the time. And as for Vash The Stampede? Well, he had been able to use only a single bullet from his iconic Colt 45 Revolver, to completely shatter most of the blade of Sekirei Number 04: Karasuba's nodachi. Which as it now stood, the nodachi was now no longer of any use to Sekirei Number 04: Karasuba. 

But with what was now about to happen? Well it would help to show, that even if one is sometimes seen or does in fact tend to act like a type of airhead on some if not most occasions. Then one must still be more then willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, because you may never know when other then them being an airhead. There still may or may not be a rare instance, in which said individual may in fact wind up proving others wrong.

And so, with all of this now very much in mind, and with us now getting right back into the current situation, that had gone and developed at the tail end of the previous chapter...

"Well actually viewers, there is currently something that is of a little bit more importance at the current moment, that I feel needs to be addressed first before we head further into the current chapter. Also hello there viewers, and yes this is Angel Bluebell here by the way...*I proceed to go and say this, which is also while I am also proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute looking blush, is also now currently present on my face. To which I then proceed to go and open both of my light blue eyes back up again, in order for me to continue, to go and properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers, it has been recently brought to me, Keiko, Zachary, and Catherine's attention, that a user over on Webnovel by the username of 'Evelynstoryboard,' is apparently yet another obvious ai art commissions scammer. As they themselves not so long had decided to try and attempt said aforementioned ai art commissions scam on these four interconnected fanfics. And for those who don't yet know what does or does not make someone an ai art scammer? Well if said user at any point asks you to go onto another site like say Discord, Instagram, or any other site that is not as well moderated as Webnovel. Then they are one hundred percent attempting to scam you. And by the way Evelynstoryboard, you should have just been better off by just choosing not to leave a comment on these four interconnected fanfics in the first place, because all that you have managed to accomplish, was show everyone who reads these four interconnected fics, just how you are when it comes to being an obvious ai art commissions scammer. But anyway viewers, I think that I have already gone and dragged this current fourth wall break on for long enough. Now what do you say that we get on with the chapter now, okay?...*I proceed to go and say this, which is also while I am also proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute looking blush, is also now currently present on my face. And this is also while I am also proceeding to go and do this, in my usual very cute looking manner as well*"

And so, getting away from my current fourth wall break moment. And with us now getting right back into the current situation, that had gone and developed at the tail end of the previous chapter...

"Hey you there with the long light blue hair? If you are now finished with speaking to the viewers for the moment, then would you at all mind if I say something to them now as well?" A currently unrecognizable female voice. Though this one was actually completely identical to that of Lisanna Strauss' voice. Had then proceeded to go and suddenly say over to me with.

But unlike most of the previous times, in which this had originally gone and caused one of my light blue eyes, to then proceed to suddenly start to visibly twitch. In this instance however, and for yet another rare instance at that. Neither of my light blue eyes, had proceeded to go and visibly start to twitch this time. And as for why this was currently the case? Well interestingly enough, it had to do largely in part to the clear and obviously vast amount of some kind of powerful energy, that I could sense and feel coming from this female.

Or at least at the current moment, I was able to sense and feel this powerful energy coming from the same direction and trajectory, in which the still currently unrecognizable female voice. Had originally gone and chosen to speak up over to me with, from out of seemingly nowhere. And as for the trajectory with regard to where the still currently unrecognizable female voice had come from? Well it had actually originated from just a couple of feet behind where I was currently standing.

And as for what she looked like, as well as her current attire? Well, she was a beautiful girl with a voluptuous figure. And she also appeared to have long, flowing strawberry-blonde hair, that appeared to reach down her back, as well as cover her ears. She also had what appeared to be bangs that appeared to fall over most of her forehead, as well as two distinctive strands of hair, that appeared to be sticking up from the top of her head. Which looked somewhat similar to that of Belldandy's strands of antennae hair.

And as for her present attire that this female was currently wearing? Well it appeared to consist of a red plaid skirt, a yellow sweater vest over a white collared shirt, white socks, and finally some brown loafers. 

And yet just like in the previous chapters, I was still not going to need to turn my attention around to know who this particular female was. And this was because I actually already knew who she was. And so with this thought of mine still very much in mind...

"Yes Hakufu, as a matter of fact I am finished speaking to the viewers for the current moment. And now that you currently have the floor so too speak, what is it that you would like to tell the viewers who are reading this chapter right now?" I had then proceeded to go and say back over to the now correctly identified Hakufu Sonsaku. Which I had proceeded to go and say back over to Hakufu, with what was clearly quite a bit of confidence in my current tone of voice. But sadly this currently present confidence of mine, was about to wind up getting temporarily shattered. And as for why this was about to wind up being the case? Well you see, about that...

"Sorry, but I seem to have forgotten what I was going to say, sorry about that..." Hakufu had then proceeded to go and say back over to me with in response. Which though I could not currently see Hakufu's current facial expression. Hakufu had actually just gone and proceeded to sheepishly grin, as well as put one of her hands behind her head. And this was also while a very noticeable sweatdrop, was also now currently present on one side of Hakufu's face.

Which not only had Hakufu's response now caused my currently present confident looking expression, to then proceed to suddenly go and change over to an expression of what was now somewhat clear embarrassment. Which was also accompanied by a sweatdrop, that had now made its presence known on one side of my face. But this had now also caused quite a few of my still currently present allies, to then proceed to either face fault, comedically collapse onto the floor of the Maze Card spirit. Or just look at Hakufu with a look of absolute shock on their respective faces. And then, just to add even more insult to injury...

"Are you serious, you mean to tell us that you just wasted Bluebells time as well as all of ours and the viewers time?! And here I thought that Wedding Peach and Eternal Sailor Moon were the airheads!" The still very much unmistakable voice of Super Sailor Mars, had now proceeded to go and angrily say over to Hakufu with in response. And given how Hakufu had in fact just gone and wasted both mine and everyone else's time. This was not a response that I really blamed Super Sailor Mars for choosing to justify with regard to saying. In fact, given the current circumstances, I felt that Super Sailor Mars actually had every right to be annoyed with Hakufu's current and obvious airhead type behavior. But then, and yet quite predictably and not even the slightest bit surprising in even the slightest bit...

"And just what is that supposed to mean Mars?! Are you saying that..." Both Wedding Peach and Eternal Sailor Moon, had now quite predictably decided to go and attempt respond back over to Super Sailor Mars with in response. And also not surprisingly, both of them were not really at all happy, that they had both just caught strays so too speak, from Super Sailor Mars with regard to her statement. But thankfully...

"All three of you, that is enough! There is a time and a place for this kind of unecessary bickering, and this it not the place nor the time to be doing this!" The still very much unmistakable voice of Angel Salvia, had now once again proceeded to go and be the voice of reason. As Angel Salvia had now once again proceeded to go and put an immediate stop to the currently unecessary bickering that had just started to take place between Wedding Peach, Eternal Sailor Moon, and Super Sailor Mars. And then...

"Thank you very much for that Salvia, and you once again have my thanks for stepping in. Because after all viewers, as Angel Salvia herself just stated. There is a proper time and place to bicker. And mind you viewers that I do very much fancy a spot of bickering as much as the next person. This however is not the best time or place to do it. As the currently still ongoing with the many Nova that are still standing, are a much current higher priority. And yes viewers, this is Angel Bluebell buy the way again. So I am once again terribly sorry for not letting all of you lot know that a wee bit sooner...*I proceed to go and say this, while I am also currently proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute looking blush is also currently present on my face. To which I then proceed to go and open both of my light blue eyes back up again, in order for me to continue, to go and properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers, for those of you who were at all still wondering who that particular female was? Well let me now introduce you all, to the one and only Hakufu Sonsaku. Who for those of you who don't yet already know, is originally from the anime canon timeline, of 'Ikki Tousen.' And so viewers with the inclusion of Hakufu Sonsaku into these four interconnected fanfics, this now brings the total number of different forms of anime and media in these four interconnected fanfics, to one hundred and thirty four. And so viewers, for right now this does now mark the end of this current chapter. But the good news here viewers, is that you can look forward to the action picking right back up again, in the next chapter. And yes viewers, I am well aware that this is not the best place to be ending this particular chapter. But think of this as yet another way to entice you all to want to read the next chapter, okay? So for now viewers, and with that having now been said. And also from me, Keiko, Zachary, Catherine, as well as along with the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, we will all see you all in the next chapter, okay? And please don't hesitate to leave a review. That is providing of course that you're not going to be toxic and negative okay?...*I proceed to go and say this, which is also while I am also proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed, and this is also while a very cute looking blush, is also now currently present on my face. And this is also while I am also proceeding to go and do this, in my usual very cute looking manner as well*"

And now that the chapter recap is now over and done with. Well, at least for now, we will now proceed on with the chapter at hand.

Date: September 28, 2019

Okay, so getting back to the currently still ongoing situation and battle at hand. Which was just after I had gone and done my usual end of chapter fourth wall break moment, at the tail end of the last chapter.

And this was also after me, and every single one of my allies in The Four Aces Alliance, had all ended up in the Infinity Castle of the anime canon timeline of Demon Slayer. And this was also after one Hakufu Sonsaku, who for those who did not already know who she was. Was someone who originated from the anime canon timeline of Ikki Tousen. 

Which unfortunately as with regard to her having made her debut into these four interconnected fanfics. Well, it had not exactly gone as smoothly as one would have initially hoped. Which to give a little bit more context, as Hakufu Sonsaku is a well known airhead sort of female character from the Ikki Tousen anime canon timeline. It was really no surprise as to why Super Sailor Mars, had then decided to respond very angrily over to Hakufu, when Hakufu had decided to somehow forget what she was going to attempt to try and tell me and the viewers, at the tail end of the previous chapter.

And yet sadly, but again not at all even the slightest bit surprising, both Eternal Sailor Moon, and Wedding Peach. Had both wound up catching unecessary strays from the rest of Super Sailor Mars statement, at the tail end of the previous chapter.

But with what was now about to happen? Well, why don't we just head on into this chapter now, hmm?

And so, with all of this now very much in mind, and with us now getting right back into the current situation, that had gone and developed at the tail end of the previous chapter...

"Well actually viewers, there is currently something that is of a little bit more importance at the current moment, that I feel needs to be addressed first before we head further into the current chapter. Also hello there viewers, and yes this is Angel Bluebell here by the way...*I proceed to go and say this, which is also while I am also proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute looking blush, is also now currently present on my face. To which I then proceed to go and open both of my light blue eyes back up again, in order for me to continue, to go and properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers, I am here to give you all a few bits of important advice, on how to...*I proceed to try and do what was going to yet again be another somewhat long winded fourth wall break. Only for a certain someone to then proceed to come into the current frame of shot. To which they then proceeded to speak up*"

"Hey sis, I think that this can wait until a future chapter. So how about we get into the chapter?...*Wedding Peach proceeds to say this to me, while a somewhat weary looking expression is currently present on her face. Which she is currently displaying, in order to let me know that this can in fact wait to be addressed, in a future chapter*"

"R-right sis my bad, and thank you for reminding me. As it is not exactly a current high priority. I mean after all viewers, Logan Paul will wind up having to answer for what he has done at some point. And yes viewers, that was a little bit of foreshadowing. But anyway viewers what do you say that we get on with the chapter now, okay?...*I proceed to go and say this, which is also while I am also proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute looking blush, is also now currently present on my face. And this is also while I am also proceeding to go and do this, in my usual very cute looking manner as well*"

And so, getting away from me and Wedding Peach's current shared fourth wall break moment. And with us now getting right back into the current situation, that had gone and developed at the tail end of the previous chapter...

"Excuse me miss, I don't mean to interrupt whoever it is that you were just talking to. But would you mind telling me as to what character inspired that amazing looking outfit that you're wearing?" A currently unrecognizable female voice. And this one, unlike most of the females that I had run into throughout all of me and my currently still present allies recent encounters. This one, like that of Akeno Himejima, was now once again literally standing just behind me. And also like that of Akeno Himejima, she was currently just a little too close for my current liking. But even though I was currently feeling a little bit uncomfortable, I still had to do my absolute best to remain civil. 

And so with this thought of mine now still very much in mind. I then proceeded to once again turn my attention to behind me. But what I was not really prepared for, was who this particular female was, and also what she was currently wearing.

Because just after I had proceeded to go and turn around to get a better look at who the still currently unrecognizable female voice belonged to. I had also then proceeded to go and start to speak up. Which unfortunately as it turned out, was about to go somewhat poorly. 

"Well miss though I do appreciate you asking me this particular question. I'm afraid that I have...wait...why are you wearing a bunny outfit?" I had proceeded to start to say. Only once both of my light blue eyes had then proceeded to quickly fall upon the female in question. I was then a bit taken aback, by this female wearing a somewhat unique looking black colored bunny outfit. With what appeared to be black colored bunny ears to match. And yet after only about another second or so, I then realized who she was. And more importantly, I realized exactly why she had gone and asked me the question that she had asked me. But then, before I could attempt to try and speak any further...

"Well are you not wearing a cosplay? And may I also ask what materials you used for it?" The female in the black colored bunny outfit, had then proceeded to go and ask me. But then...

"Wait are you serious? Do any of us look like..." The still very much unmistakable voice of Super Sailor Mars. Had then proceeded to go and once again attempt to try and angrily say over to the girl in the black colored bunny outfit with. But then...

"I think what she means to say miss, is that..." The still very much unmistakable voice of Super Sailor Mercury. Had now proceeded to attempt to try and prevent Super Sailor Mars, from winding up saying something to the female in the bunny outfit that she may wind up regretting. But then...

"To answer your question miss, it is a unique and exclusive outfit. And I would kind of be going against certain bylaws of a written agreement, if I were to tell you anything about it. So sorry, but I can't under any circumstances tell you. You know, for legal reasons," I had then proceeded to go and say back over to the female in the black colored bunny outfit. And it was only after I had gone and finished saying my statement over to the female in the black colored bunny outfit. That I could feel the tension from me and the rest of my allies release. Which was compounded by the female in the black colored bunny outfits expression, then proceeding to shift over to one of understanding. But then...

"What the heck, something just rushed past me! Wait who on earth is that?! And why is she moving towards that Nova?!" The still very much unmistakable voice of Mitsuko Kongou. Had now proceeded to go and suddenly exclaim, from out of seemingly nowhere. Which to further compound Mitsuko Kongou with regard to her tone, she had proceeded to go and say her statement, with what was clearly an obvious bit of surprise to her current tone of voice.

And sure enough, as I then proceeded to go and quickly turn my attention towards one of the many and numerous still standing Nova in question. I was just able to see someone quickly proceed, to use some kind of metal weapon. To which they then proceeded to quickly slice very easily through the head of the Nova. Just as Mikasa Ackerman had gone and done several chapters ago.

And it was only once they had then proceeded to fall down towards the ground, and then proceed to quickly do a series of quick back flips. To which they had then proceeded to go and quickly stick their landing. Which once the Nova's head had proceeded to fall and hit the ground, quickly followed by its entire large body. To which both had proceeded to make very large and very loud sounding thuds, as both wound up hitting the ground very hard. To which the individual had then proceeded to go and stand up after a couple of seconds. I then was able to get a better look at them.

And as for what they looked like, as well as their current attire?

Well she was a female, who appeared to have yellowish-white hair. That appeared to be set in a styled bob, with slightly chopped ends. And I also noticed, that there appeared to be a blindfold that at the moment was obscuring both of her eyes.

And as for her current attire? Well she was currently wearing a high-slit black turtleneck dress, The dress had a high collar, and an open cleavage obscured by a lace-patterned fabric. It also had what appeared to be puffed sleeves. That appeared to end in mid-forearm in the form of crow feathers. And inside these sleeves was white fabric reaching down to dip sharply before her hands, which were covered with black gloves. Her dress was also open in the back, exposing shoulder blades that went down to the small space of her back. The dress's skirt was also high-slit, and was shown to be made of what appeared to be a flowing, flexible fabric. That appeared to bear a similar texture to that of leather. And finally, she was wearing what appeared to be dark thigh-high garter stockings with black lining underneath thigh-high black leather boots equipped with heels.

And as for her weapons? Well she had used what appeared to be two long bladed sword like weapons, that she had just gone and used to effortlessly decapitate the Nova.

And it was only after about a second or so of me looking at her, that I then realized exactly who she was. And more importantly, I now knew that me and my currently still present allies, now had at least one more powerful ally, in our current still ongoing fight against the Nova. But then...

"Well, I would certainly like to know what material..." The female in the black colored bunny outfit, had now once again attempted to try and ask. Only this time, she was about to try and ask what the newly arrived female had used, with regard to the material she had used to make her supposed cosplay outfit. But then, out of the blue...

"Oh I wouldn't worry too much about that right now miss. As there will be plenty of time to ask your questions, once the dealing here so too speak, is finally done." Another unrecognizable female voice. Though this one was identical to that of Taiki Kou, or Sailor Star Makers voice. But unlike the many characters that were voiced by Jamie Marchi, I actually had a pretty good idea, as to who this particular but still currently unrecognizable female voice belonged to. And interestingly enough, it had to do with the somewhat unique statement, that this female had just said. And so with this realization of mine now very much in mind...

"Well Ms. Jabami, I certainly can't argue with that! And hello there viewers, Angel Bluebell here again...*I proceed to go and say this, while I am also currently proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. And this is also while a very cute looking blush is also currently present on my face. To which I then proceed to go and open both of my light blue eyes back up again, in order for me to continue, to go and properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers, there is currently quite a lot to unpack with regard to the three newest arrivals. So for those of you who were at all still wondering who these three particular female are? Well let me now first introduce you all, to the one and only Marin Kitagawa. Who for those of you who don't yet already know, is originally from the anime canon timeline, of 'My Dress-Up Darling.' Next viewers, let me now also introduce you all, to the one and only 2B from the very popular and well known anime and video game canon timeline, of 'Nier: Automata.' And finally viewers, let me also now introduce you all to one Yumeko Jabami, from the anime canon timeline, of 'Kakegurui.' So in other words viewers, we have the rabbit, Hamlet, and the metaphorical One Armed Bandit. Which as it just so happens viewers, is the exact title of this particular chapter. Well mind you viewers, Yumeko is not exactly a One Armed Bandit, as that is a slot machine. And while 2B isn't exactly Hamlet, is it too be, or not 2B? And yes viewers, I did just do a cheesy William Shakespeare pun, and no I am not sorry about it. But anyway viewers, with the inclusion of Marin Kitagawa, 2B, and Yumeko Jabami, into these four interconnected fanfics, this now brings the total number of different forms of anime and media in these four interconnected fanfics, to one hundred and thirty seven. And so viewers, for right now this does now mark the end of this current chapter. But the good news here viewers, is that you can look forward to the action picking right back up again, in the next chapter. And yes viewers, I am well aware that this is not the best place to be ending this particular chapter. But think of this as yet another way to entice you all to want to read the next chapter, okay? So for now viewers, and with that having now been said. And also from me, Keiko, Zachary, Catherine, as well as along with the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, we will all see you all in the next chapter, okay? And please don't hesitate to leave a review. That is providing of course that you're not going to be toxic and negative okay?...*I proceed to go and say this, which is also while I am also proceeding to go and smile with both of my light blue eyes closed, and this is also while a very cute looking blush, is also now currently present on my face. And this is also while I am also proceeding to go and do this, in my usual very cute looking manner as well*"
