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
Her arm transformed into a blade-like form and her eyes glowed in red. There is only one meaning behind this. I don’t want to admit it, but seems like Chiwa had become--“Demon kind.”“You notice… I think that’s become obvious by now. I didn’t notice it since it was told to me. In this world power is everything. Gaining power is everything. With power, you can do almost everything. Becoming a demon kind is the best choice I’ve made… That way, I could roam outside without worrying about being hurt by demons. My world widens.”“You give up your humanity…”I argue.From the floor, I stood up. Immediately took off the protective suit throwing the gas mask away. Within the cleaning tool I brought, I pulled my sword. Gripping the handle tightly while my right palm bleeds blood.“You come here prepared… You truly are unlike other men.”“Ever since I come here, many unexpected events already happened. I can’t let my guard down.”“I know that my action was wrong… But looking from a wide persp
After Red lost consciousness in Kisara’s arms. Mr. Fluff arrived and took Red's body to the armored car’s back. Kisara turned her vision left and right. Seeing the ruining made by the demon kind. Lastly, up to the bright moon up in the night sky. The scene was rare. Normally inside the shelter, the night sky is never seen, because of the thick concrete ceiling protecting the shelter from the garbage falling down from the sky and Demon kinds roaming outside.Moonlight has more meaning for Kisara. A meaning very special only to her heart. She put her hand on her bosom and reminisce the happened in the past.Someone tap Kisara’s shoulder. The girl was her friend and company receptionist Touka.“No way to fix this… Area 14 shelter already fallen down.”“I hate this… Everything is about to change again.” Kisara said.“Change is part of our lives… All we can do is move forward and learn from it. Let's finish our final job as exterminators in this shelter.”Touka pulled her spear from her ba
“What kind of demon ability do you gain when you become a demon kind? Creation? Or something that could create an object… What is the limit of your ability? Is it unlimited? That’s very unlikely… There is no such thing as unlimited. There is always a limit to everything.”Charlotte said.“Why would I answer your question? It would be stupid if I did… Anyway, who are you exactly?”“Well… People call me the strongest or someone who has the potential to be the strongest. Because of this…”Charlotte pointed to her gleaming blue eyes.“... The eye of god… Humans blessed with this eye are blessed with infinite blessings. A blessing that could be anything.”Chiwa listened to Charlotte, but she had no idea what Charlotte was talking about. The eye of god and blessings. The words were new to Chiwa's ears. That was expected because Chiwa doesn’t have much interest in anything. That is until she found joy in inventing using scraps. Using the knowledge she got from her father and brother who were
Ray of sunbeam radiating through my vision and green leaves dancing together with the gentle gust of wind from the tree above. The first two things I noticed when I open my eyes. I tried covering the sunlight beaming down to my face with my palm. I realized that I was laying down on a lap. Under the big tree, I’m laying down with someone. I lift my head and greeted with a sweet smile. The smile is from my childhood friend and the girl I loved the most, Choco. She gently combs my hair with her finger. I never know that a simple gesture like this felt this good. Looking back, the last thing I remember was me battling Chiwa. My body is in complete pain and I was penetrated by Chiwa blade multiple times. Could it be? Am I dead? I turned my head a bit and look around me. The place is completely different from Earth land. A place filled with flowers and huge green trees The sky was clear and blue. Birds freely sing on the branches. I heard stories about the afterlife. When people d
The place I was dragged into was called Exterminator Headquarters. A place where exterminator company founders often gather to have an important meeting. All according to Princess.While my body was soaked with water. Charlotte put her hand on me and dyed my body in an instant.“We can’t let you go inside drenched.”“Whose fault was that? I shot back sarcastically and continued. “Why are we here anyway?”“It is my personal request… We have to report things happening in Area 14 shelter in HQ and I want people to escort me. Kisara and Charlotte happily took the request.”“It’s fine… We’re not friends for anything. Princess is our princess we can’t have you in trouble.”Kisara said.Charlotte, meanwhile, is being silent sipping her juice drink. It's probably one of those poisonous drinks she usually has. Having to think about it, I realize that it's quite some time already since I met Kisara and Charlotte.“This is the HQ, meaning Lars might be here,” I said.“No, he's still on a special
