"Is this the place?"
Standing in front of an old rusting building, both Arashi and Rikka finally made their way to their mission destination.
Arashi is checking by the old building while Rikka is still looking like soulless doll trying to convince herself about the truth
"How the hell is this guy older than me?"
"He doesn't even look like he is in his twenties yet." Mumble Rikka alone
Fun fact Arashi had a look of a teenage boy who are going through his puberty though he is actually in fact twenty years older this year
"Rikka…"
Arashi slightly touch Rikka shoulder but that slight touch is enough to make Rikka bolt
"Y-YES!" Shouts Rikka shocked
"It seems that this is the place…"
Rikka then tried to hide her troubled with an awkward laugh that eventually she stops making
"Let's go in…" Rikka said confidently after gaining her composure back
Arashi didn't question much and followed Rikka from behind into the old building
Inside the building there's basically nothing instead of an old furniture laying on the floor with dust and spider webs covering them
Just as Arashi walking while looking around the house suddenly his uniform collar got drag by Rikka
Shocks by her act, Arashi looks up to see that he almost got hit by a monster with a big claw
"M-monster?" Said Arashi shocked
Rikka then let go of Arashi collar and pull out her bow, readying herself to fight the monster
"A low-level devil…Huh?" Said Rikka as she pulls her bow strings
Not knowing the reason, the devil as what Rikka just called it
Seems to be a bit piss after being called a low-level as it tries to attack Rikka head on
With its big claw it charges unto Rikka aiming for her head but shockingly the monster miss
"Dummy…"
"Just where did you aim your claw at?" Said Rikka
She then released the strings of her bow that shoot an arrow that pierce through the devil head piercing it into pieces
Arashi is left shocked by Rikka technique that he couldn't stopped admiring her graceful way on defeating the devil
"Let's go…"
Rikka then starts going further into the building after defeating the low-level one
"There's more?" Ask Arashi curious
Rikka just turned her head back slightly to look at Arashi
"Of course there's more…"
"I don't believe that we are being sent here only to deal with a low-level." Said Rikka as she continued to walk deeper
The both of them suddenly stopped when they are stumbled upon two hallways leading to a different path
"What should we do now?" Ask Arashi troubled
Rikka just rubbing her chin trying to think of something but it seems like a drag to her
"I will take the right one…"
"You took the left." Said Rikka pointing at the hallways
Arashi is shocked to hear Rikka idea that he almost dropped down to his knees
"Well then good luck…" said Rikka while waving her hands toward Arashi
"W-wait!!! You can't be real aren't you?" Ask Arashi trying to make Rikka rethink the plan
"I'm being super serious though." Said Rikka with an innocent look
Arashi was left with a shock and disappointment when he realized that Rikka isn't playing with him
(Is this one of her revenges towards me?) Thought Arashi
Rikka then puts one of her hands on top of Arashi shoulder trying to assure him
"You don't need to worry that much…" Said Rikka
Arashi looks up a bit to see that Rikka is smiling to him
"I believe in you…" Adds Rikka more
Hearing those words gave Arashi a little bit push
Although a little bit scared but he definitely feels a little bit better
Both of them then goes their separate way after having an agreement with each other
Arashi as he took the left path have only stumbled upon an old patient room.
If he remembers correctly this building was once an old hospital that once were fully operated but then one day it had to being shut down due to poor hospitality
"No wonder this place seems scarier…" Said Arashi while he hugs himself to calms himself from shivers
Just then he felt as if someone is looking directly at him… Feeling uncomfortable he unsheathed the sword behind his back and get in a ready position
Not knowing where he got this feeling from but he hurriedly turned toward one of the rooms where he felt like he being watch from
Slowly walking toward the door. He put his hands on the door handle and slowly turned it around
But instead of founding a devil there is only a white silhouette bed and a few toys beside it
Feeling uncomfortable Arashi tried to run away from the room but he found himself already in it and the door behind him has already been shuts
"The hell?" Said Arashi scared
He tried any possible way to open the door behind him but it doesn't work
Arashi then tried to cuts off the door with his sword but all his mean is futile
"Just what is happening right now?"
Just as Arashi tried to think of a way to gets out of the room. Suddenly a figure of a tall devious looking demon appeared from under the bed
Arashi still didn't realize the creature existence as he stills struggled to open the door
Slowly the creature reached out his hands to catch Arashi but somehow it was blocked by some kind of shield that protect Arashi
The creature screams out loud that it alarms Arashi to turned around and face the creature
Shocked, Arashi holds up the sword toward the creature and tried to chase it off
"A devil!" mutter Arashi as he tried to find a way out of this situation
But just as he tried to think of finding a way out, he suddenly remembered Rikka words where she said that she believes that Arashi could handle the devil
So instead of running away, Arashi readied his sword to tried and fight the devil
The devil as it looks at confident Arashi felt challenged by him that it screams out loud to tried to scared Arashi
But instead of being taunted Arashi stand by his ground while looking down on the devil
Feeling pissed off the devil charges at Arashi with its long hands trying to attack Arashi
For some reason Arashi managed to block the devil attack surprising both the devil and himself
"I can do this..." mumble Arashi under his breath
Again, another attack were thrown by the devil and like before Arashi once again managed to block off the devil attack
Now this time instead of defending Arashi tried to throw out an attack toward the devil by swinging his sword
The devil tried to block Arashi attack by covering it face but to its shocks Arashi wasn't aiming for its face instead Arashi cut off one of the devil legs making it to falls down to its knees
"This is the end…" Said Arashi as he slowly walks towards the devil
The devil as its struggle to fends for its life tried to pull some trick toward Arashi as it has another skill its hide
The devil actually could use the shadow around them as its territory to hide off and in this situation the devil tried to attack Arashi from his shadow
As the devil hands suddenly appear out of Arashi shadow and tried to stabs him
A look of surprised can be seen on the devil face even though it doesn't have an eye but the looks of shocked is clear on its face
"Trying to do a cheap attacks on me?"
"That's just futile…" Said Arashi while looking down on Arashi with a pitiful eye
Shockingly Arashi managed to cuts off the devil hand before it could reach him leaving the devil to froze in place
"KIEEEEE!!!!!" The devil screams
This time the scream that the devil is making isn't like before where it tried to taunt Arashi instead this time it's a call for help…
Cause the real devil is right in front of its
"Goodbye…" Said Arashi before cutting off the devil head
After killing the devil Arashi took a deep breath as he managed to overcome his fear and deal with the devil
The door also is opened now probably because the devil had been defeated that's why
Just as Arashi tried to walks out of the room, He suddenly stopped by a mysterious figure wearing a black robe
"Hehhh…"
"So, you're the new member of the gatekeeper huh?"
"You are pretty strong…" Said the mysterious girl
While on Rikka side…
"Eh????"
"Is this the only things you can do???"
"This is sort of like a turndown for me…" said a mysterious guy wielding a shotgun while wearing a dark black suit with a fedora
Standing on a big rubble, the mysterious guy looked down on the person he just attacked
"At this rate you might die you know…"
"Rikka-chan…" said the guy as he looks down on injured and bruised Rikka
