Chapter 7 - The Child, and the Monster.

Well, my apartment has only me ... It's messy, and a little dark, but it can accommodate two people ... probably. I helped that child for something personal, and also because she has a symbol on the clothing that belongs to a target of mine. She woke up, and with a startled look, she stared at me from a distance;

[Me]- "There is the dinner in the table, if you don't eat now, it will get cold."

[The Child]- "... Who are you?"

[Me]- "... Just a guy. Go eat your food, you are hungry, don't you?"

[The Child]- "... Alright."

I let her eat a high quality hamburger, and even then she was suspicious of me, I am used to those looks ... But she is different from the others ... It is a look of fear, but an impartial fear. She has heterochromia just like me, but one of her eyes drips a very strange liquid ... I think I'll wrap it up later, it's unpleasant.

She finished eating, and seemed more comfortable, it was probably the tests she experienced;

[Me]- "Hey, brat, what is your name?"

[The Child]- "D-021."

[Me]- "What? This is a number, not a name. I can't call you like that..."

[The Child]- "This was the only name that they gave me."

[Me]- "Well... Your hair remember me a important person that I met, so I'm gonna call you Saiki. Alright?"

[Saiki]- "Alright! I like it!"

[Me]- "Just ... Don't talk too loud, that gives me headache."

[Saiki]- "Oh, sorry. How can I call you?"

[Me]- "... Degen."

I took some bandages, and bandaged her left eye, to stop spilling that thing ... And I went to get my insomnia medication, to try to sleep. She was saying things like "Why did you close my eye?" or "What are you swallowing" ... How annoying! I knew I was going to regret it early, but it lasted 5 minutes! I managed to sleep that night, it was a lucky night ... My medicines don't always work. I wonder if it was because of the girl.

I had realized that her clothes were ridiculous, but I don't have clothes for children ... Much less for girls. So, after a great night's sleep, I put on a more casual outfit, and a mask to hide the scar from my mouth. And I put a coat on her, and we went to buy something useful ... Saiki's clothes and food.

That brat is looking at everything lively, like a dog! Now I understand why so many guys are stressed with children ... I bought her clothes, and we went to eat in the Käse Königreich.

[Saiki]- "Where we are going?"

[Me]- "Eat some burgers. Käse Königreich is the best place for eat hamburgers in Detroit."

[Saiki]- "Do you mean the thing that you gave me yesterday?"

[Me]- "Even better, brat."

We arrived at Käse Königreich, there were few people eating, but the meat and especially the cheese are incredible. And Charles was preparing hamburgers, every Thursday and Friday he prepares himself.

[Charles]- "Boy! I was waiting you for... Who is the little one? Wait, do you already have a daughter?"

[Me]- "What? I don't have a daughter, she is just... What is that face? Stop joking, Charles"

[Charles]- "Alright, Alright, jokes aside... Who is the girl?"

[Me]- "She is Saiki, I am taking care of her for now... You can make a good burger for her?"

[Charles]- "Don't hurry, if she is your friend, she is my friend! I'll make two for you, for the price of one, leave it to me!"

[Saiki]- "He is a good person?"

[Me]- "Mhm, he is good and the most normal I know."

We sat on a side chair, and we waited for him to finish. He brought it to us, the usual ... For some reason, when I ate with Saiki, that burger was tastier.

And I know more about Saiki now, she's the main part of the Dimensional Break Project, a project by the E.F. freaks, bastards who test on living things, reactions, and results in the display of superpowers... they want to replicate the powers of the Overlord or the Arch-Master.

And by the way ... That day, a Numeric Servant (minor troop of the army of the Great Two), came thinking that I was going to join the army of the Overlord ... Come on, the army to kill the heroes? I refused, and he got pissed off... Really? He is like a Yorkshire growling... He can't scary me like that... So I defeated him in 3 seconds...

Then, I went for a walk with Saiki. . .
