Chapter LIX: Calamity Stones ~Two Figures in the Dark~

Miguel Ibarra opens the door to his basement, drinking some evaporated milk. "What the hell!?"

Miguel senses something wrong in the room. He looks around to check if something's missing in his room of what looks like antiques. Old objects like ancient weapons, chairs, tables, toys, apothecary tables,  ancient gadgets, a giant triangular portal device, music boxes, and an interdimensional rift are all stored in the room.

However, one music box is missing, labeled as the Calamity Box.

Miguel senses the room. He looks at the door and sees that two shadowy figures run away and climb up to the garage.

He opens a portal to meet them, and they're already behind the house somehow. You see, the garage is at the front of the house to the neighborhood, and they somehow are already at the back. So, obviously, the two shadowy figures open portals away from Miguel.

Miguel, upon seeing this, squints his eyes with interest. "Very interesting."

Miguel Ibarra senses something very interesting. He smiles.

He opens a portal to them again.

They open a portal, but Miguel easily disables their portal by imploding it.

"So... you two seem to be new at Eldritch Magic! I bet you've been practicing around... Hm... Five years! Tops! Wanna have a go?" smiled Miguel.

Some sort of purple slime forms from the pouch of one of the figures. And a purple blade is formed in her hand. She then tosses the blades at Miguel, who easily uses his sticks to slap them away.

"That all you got, witch?" smiled Miguel.

She squints her eyes. The other witch charges and uses plant magic to subdue Miguel, who dehydrates the plant and begins tearing up. He then pulls out a blade of tears and tosses one at the first figure, who whispers to create an Abomination, a golem made of unknown liquids, which Miguel easily destroys.

"Well! Hilarious! Magnificent! Fascinating! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"

"RAUGH!!!" The second figure nearly stabs Miguel in the neck, but she stops inches away from it.

"Naughty... Naughty..." smiled Miguel. "Well... aren't you fun?" He begins whispering Latin phrases and they immediately freeze, but they whisper as well and melt the ice.

They then shoot energy blasts at Miguel.

"I didn't think that Hellborns can be this powerful! And I can't believe you finally learned Eldritch Magic!
Dangerous! But I'm sure Charlie could arrange something to... take control of you people."

"What are you talking about...?" asked the second figure.

"You haven't heard of me? Naughty, naughty... Your entire species revolves around me."

She squints her eyes and points further toward his neck. "Stand down, or I'll do it."

Miguel smiles. "Huh... At least I know that some Hellborns aren't very evil..."

"Yeah! I'm from the Demon Realm! It's pretty racist that you call us that! We don't use that term anymore after Aurora-!!!"

"Yeah, yeah! Succeeded Kuya Lucy. But in the end, just because she colonized the Boiling Isles, it doesn't mean that you aren't what you are, Hellborn Witch.
And stand down... I can smell that you ate Mangu...
Wait..." Miguel sniffs her. 

She blushes, being creeped out.

"Can I have that Mangu in your lunchbox?" asked Miguel.

The first figure shrugs and the second figure rolls her eyes and gives Miguel the box with Mangu.
