Fun
Silla approached Charlotte, she observed the clothes the girl was wearing with peaked interest.
Charlotte looked at her with piercing azure eyes, "Silla, hello again."
"Hello! I see you are using your Contract~ though you can abuse her all you want, don't let her break because that would be no fun!", Silla cheerfully suggested.
Once again, Charlotte was reminded of how much Silla revels in the despair of others. Now that Charlotte has someone that she can top, she understands the appeals of Silla's antics.
The desire to dominate, one she only experienced now, was enhanced greatly since it was truly the first time Charlotte felt in charge.
She held Enna's face, peering into her hazy golden eyes, "I'm sorry, let me make it up for you. You want to eat delicious food, right?"
Enna nodded, "Yes..."
She then looked at Silla, they spoke silent words to each other, leading to her cracking a smile. Then Charlotte spoke, "Silla, can we go somewhere to eat first?"
"Sure! Anything for our intern~! All on me!!", she happily clapped.
And they went out.

Silla's pocket was empty, at least the amount she had in her bank account, and only stared in amusement at the two heavy eaters. Bowls and dishes laid on top of each other into piles and piles. Silla rented this place out for the whole day with some cash and a lot of threats, Charlotte saw it and was fascinated by the power Silla held.
So like her overseer, she would too abuse her situation. So Charlotte ordered the most expensive foods on the menu and enjoyed as much as her stomach could endure.
It was then Charlotte found out any excess food would turn into Reverie and be absorbed into her body. With a wicked smile, she ordered and ordered, together with Enna who was just enjoying herself.
A waiter came to Charlotte with a nervous look, "We apologize, but we have run out of ingredients. So we cannot bring you any more plates."
Charlotte then looked at Enna, who was finishing her meal, and then Silla, "Where is our next destination?"
Across the table, the woman answered, "The Arcade."
Charlotte perked up from hearing that. She heard about the Arcade before, a place filled with endless fun as long as you have enough coin. Unlike gambling, there are no unnecessary losses, all in the skills of the player. So she set herself a goal when going to the arcade, she would set the highest score on all the games she could.
"Enna, let's go.", Charlotte called.
The Fallen Angel nodded, swallowing the last bit of her meal.
"Silla, where is the Arcade?", Charlotte asked.
"Well~ it's pretty near here. So let's get going!!", Silla clapped her hands.
The same waiter from before handed Silla a receipt, he was clearly scared of Silla. Charlotte observed his movement, his legs were shaking while his body completely froze from fear.
"You know.", Silla glanced at the waiter, "This calculation is wrong."
This was the first time Charlotte saw Silla getting angry, or what she assumed to be anger. Judging by the tense and chilling air suffocating the waiter and Enna. Charlotte herself was feeling fine, she is immune to intimidation as long as it was not directed at her, or weaker than the girl.
"Who did this calculation?", Silla asked with a passive-aggressive tone, "I don't wanna be mean or something, but this is double the payment."
"M-Miss... there must be a mistake..."
Silla moved in closer, walking and not teleporting like she usually does. Charlotte saw Silla's tail formed, slithering and wrapping around the waiter's neck.
"This restaurant's mistake. Do you think anyone would care if I brought down this entire establishment? This is Las Vegas, the utopia of criminals. Those who decided this place to be their home are all criminals, you are a criminal, I am a criminal, and no one would bat an eye if this place is wiped off the map.", Silla widened her smile, becoming less fake and more real.
Then came a man wearing a chef outfit, he got on all four and begged, "Please! Miss, be kind and forgive us! We won't make that mistake again! Could you please pass a simple mistake? There must be kindness in your heart! This is the only place we have left!"
Silla sighed, but she did not let go of the waiter, "Unfortunately for you, I have no kindness in my heart.", the she stepped on the chef's head with her heel, "I know this kind of scam, but as a person with an open mind, I will let you go with one condition."
"Please! I will do anything!!", he begged.
"Cut the original down by ten, or the next morning this place would be gone.", she said with a sadistic smile.
"Yes! I will!!", he cried out.
The cruel woman then scraped his head with her heels, it was then Charlotte noticed there were spikes at the bottom. The spikes left the chef's head bleeding.
She is... evil.
Then the tense air vanished in a blink, Silla took out her phone and typed something.
"And done.", she turned to Charlotte and Enna, "Let's go, girls!"

Charlotte was having fun, casually beating the games in the arcade. First, she got all the things from the crane games and then gave away anything she found no interest in. Second, she set impossibly high scores on all of the arcade games, digital and physical ones.
And third, she is the undefeated champion in three hours of fighting games. Having Survive practically predict the opponent's movements took a bit of joy out of the fun, but the feeling of domination over others was thrilling.
Even with Survive and her hat, Charlotte felt her fingers were aching and she would need to exert more strength to be able to keep up with her mind.
Not good...
She signaled Silla to get close to her, "Silla, my hands are sore."
The woman just shrugged, "Alright, do you want to leave?"
Charlotte shook her head in response. She was having fun crushing people, she did not want the fun to end.
"Hmm, do you want to go gambling?", Silla smiled. Holding Charlotte's shoulders.
"Isn't she underage?", Enna asked while eating a chocolate bar. She was using Charlotte's points to trade for a lot of snacks.
"And?", Silla waited for a reply.
"I—", Charlotte's pupils dilated, and she began to cough as she fell to the ground.
What is this?!
Charlotte cannot feel pain, but she knows her body is aching. Silla went to help Charlotte, she tried to pick up the girl but her hand retracted as she touched her hand.
"Her body is burning hot... what the fuck is this fever...", Silla muttered. Her eyes dashed around, seeing people formed around her and Charlotte. Too many eyes are looking at them.
"Enna! Take care of Charlotte for me! I'll get help!", Silla ran away.
"Eh? Heh?!", Enna dropped her snack bag and went to check on Charlotte, "Unholy shit, what the hell happened?!"
Charlotte felt her world crashing down, everything felt louder, and she could feel the shifting of air clearer than normal. Everything was uncomfortable and Enna is not a doctor, not helpful in this situation.
"Hold on!", Enna picked Charlotte up, and rushed through the crowd.
Charlotte grabbed hold of Enna's collar and swung her down to the ground. Enna noticed her eyes were different, they were magenta.
And another Akashic awaken - Euphoria
=0=0=
On the outskirts of the city, a raven landed on a wolf, both staring at the city, peering and looking at the girl in silver.
""Our game starts now, Akasha."", both of the animals spoke at the same time.
