After seeing the huge fire in the village nearby, Luke and I immediately responded. Dashing with all of our strength.From the sight of it, the flames aren’t something from an accident. It was obvious that the one behind this fire had intended to erase the entire village. Desperate civilians running for their lives are gunned down by unknown people in red robes.I could say that we’re too late already. Seeing how many people laying on the ground lifeless.Terror first comes into my mind and is then replaced by fury.“Don’t be overcome by your emotions. There is still hope… There are still people needing our help.”Luke said.His movement speed increased. He kicks the ground, launching himself forward. Slash and hack down enemies on his way. Three red-robed men blocking his way were immediately defeated.I agree with his statement and followed his lead.A red-robbed man landed in front of me and with a spear he thrust forward. I used the sword to block his spear and immediately move to
After that, we move to rescue the village's remaining survivors. They are alive but their eyes are filled with despair, seeing their home village turned into oblivion before their eyes.Tears are shed and grieving for the people who lost their lives.Having plenty of time, Luke and I decided to help the people by giving the killed people proper burial. Digging through the soil, gently putting each body down.Two hours after burying the people, the survivors and us put our hands together to offer prayers.“Would you like to come with us?” Area 14 shelter is a safe place to live.”I said to the survivors. They turned their heads to each other in confusion. They looked at me with hopeful eyes.“Are we really allowed to come with you?”Asked a woman.“Sure--”“--No.”Luke cut in and pulled my shoulder away and took the lead.“It’s something we’re not in control of.”“What are you saying? These people need our help. It was better if they were living in protected areas like shelters.”“Shel
Another day began, which means another work day. It’s not like I hate working. Having a place where I belong is not so bad.I turned my head left to right and still noticed the glare of other staff. Maybe saying that this is the place where I belong is incorrect., Currently, I am sitting in the cafeteria together with my masters Kisara and Charlotte. I was happily having good food on my table. Instead of stale bread which I was planning to have. Kisara lent me some money that I can use until my paycheck arrives.“You better pay me the moment you receive your paycheck.”Kisara said after she gulped the food in her mouth. She turned her spoon back to the plate and had another scoop.“Sure… There is no place for me to run away.”“So if there is a place where you can run away. You’re not paying Kisara?” Charlotte cuts in.“No… I’m still going to pay Kisara, even if the world leads to destruction.”“That’s over dramatic. If the world is going to be destroyed. Money would be useless. You s
What should I do? What should I do honestly? I thought while seating on the stone side of the fountain. There is a park inside the shelter, but I hardly think of this place as a park. Park in paradise is a beautiful place surrounded by several colorful flowers. Green trees and people smile.This park is nearly empty. No flowers, no decorations, no trees, etc. Just a chair and this huge fountain. This fountain was said to be the center of the shelter. Everything in this place is concrete. No soil for plants to grow up. Let's say there is soil, it's still impossible to grow plants because of the lack of sunlight.Multiple light bulbs aligned up above the ceiling are the main source of light inside the shelter. When the clock hits 6:00 PM, the light bulb will be turned off and only a few street lights will be turned on. The scale of the shelter isn’t as wide as I thought. 105 by 68 meters of land and building structures. The population of 950-1000.They only allowed people with permissio
“You sure are amazing...”I said in awe and touched some of the items laying around. What is this curved wing-like metal anyway? After looking for a minute, the item in my hand snapped out and fell. I immediately went into a panic thinking that I was the cause.“I’m not amazing like you think I am…”Chiwa said, followed with a heavy sigh. Walking to me, she took the snapped metal-like wing and continued.“... This is a homing boomerang… I design this to chase down the target no matter where they run… My design is not good enough. This item is a failure. Together with dozens of items here. Now, I feel pathetic boosting myself as a great inventor without any foundation.”“I do think some of the items here look cool. Like this mechanical spider. This one looks fine.”“That’s a failure too... I wanted to create something like Robbopi on my own. But they don’t have the intelligence I strive for. They are normal robots compared to Roboppi… Because of my failure, Roboppi is always alone here
There are lots of turn in the street I have no idea where Chiwa go. I pause and turned my head left and right. I lift my head and remember the time Kotori and Charlotte chased me.Channeling my strength on my feet. I jump u the wall and used the pipe as a stepping stone to reach the rooftop. Having the high ground my vision widens. There were not lots of people strolling around.Moving objects are easy to notice.I run around leaping on the rooftop searching for Chiwa.What am doing right? Chiwa might be his wife, but the abuse Chiwa experienced was wrong.Based on what I heard earlier, Chiwa is being sold for money. That’s why she becomes that old man’s wife. I never thought that her life is this complicated.If she is escaping there is only one place where she can go.I immediately headed toward the dark alley manhole near the fountain. I flipped open the cover and go down.In her workshop… That is the only place where she can hide.My intuition is right on the money.“Chiwa…”Chiwa
“Never think a city this big still exists after the existence of demon kind.” “Shelter only allowed limited people to stay inside their protected zone. A long time ago, only people who have money could stay inside. There is not much change. They are no different from the cowards who hide above the clouds.” “They all look tasty…” “Resist your animal urges for now… We agree to enjoy some human cuisine once in a while.” “I want to jump into desserts… Parfait! Parfait! Or maybe a strawberry crepe!” Four demon kinds in their human form were waltzing casually in the streets of Yuman City. Shido and Rio stayed reserved and acted normally as soon as they stepped inside the city. But for the other two with them, Fandor the muscular man with a face mixture of man and woman. It was a bit of trouble, not because he was afraid of being caught in the act. But to suppress his urges to eat delicious humans. Gulping his spit every time he turned at glance a young, tasty human. “Another young on
Early, in the morning I was summoned to Touka’s office. She handed me my next mission. After reading the description of the job, I asked—“A cleaning job?”“Dead bodies are found in one of the apartment buildings here inside our shelter. Based on the observation the foul smell started two days ago… Neighbors are too afraid to check at first, but eventually, they can’t endure the foul smell and decided to break inside… Based on the test, it's already been two days… The apartment room was stained with blood. It is like a nightmare, two kids at a very young age and a baby were killed… The old man is well off. The motivation must be thieving. The safe is busted open and his money was taken away…”Demons aren’t the only ones who can harm humans.This crime was usual, in my home, numerous accidents like this happened.Humans can also be evil.“...The official cleaners are currently cleaning carcass of dead demon kind outside the shelter. The corpse needed to be clean immediately.”“I was wo
