Chapter 17 - Reiji and the devilkin

Reijis new life started. He has a year to set up his new home and his funds are a bit short. Francesca had sat down near reiji after serving him herbal tea.

" Lord reiji what do you plan to do from now until the academy starts. I suggest the hunters guild or the adventurers guild."

Reiji looks at her and says what's the difference fran.

Francesca glares at him.." sir reiji please do not get formal. I am a maid call me francesca."

Reiji has a bead of sweat dripping from his brow. "s..sure..hehe.."

Francesca continuously elaborates but reaches the main difference. "the hunters guild survives by taking many contracts from monsters exploration, and body recovery if possible. the adventures guild is a lower standard, but has more difference in the majority of jobs from monster slaying to escorts even dancing can come in as a request but..for your sake...dont take that one.." Reiji ponders then nods. "I assume there's a reason dancing is dangerous according to you?"

Francesca responds dejectedly "not the dancing the one requesting it. trust me don't take the job. Reiji stands and dons a long coat with a lion on it." Francesca i am going to the adventurers guild."

On his way to the adventurers guild reiji stops by looking at a bag tied to it is a envelope. from ragnur.

"reiji here's your profit from the fight and a little extra from me." reijis face shrinks a bit. why do I feel like he's giving me a wave or something.

There are many stalls on the street. many different races running them. To the left the weapon shop bahamut fang run by a dwarf. to the right a magic shop Phoenix tears run by a beast woman with her kid. just to name a few

Suddenly reiji is pushed aside by a man screaming "move it you simpleton you aren't a demi so you aren't allowed here." Reiji almost loses his cool but breathes in and apologizes "I'm sorry good sir my mistake."

Reiji smirks as he holds his hand in his coat holding this guy's pouch. the man walks away snorting " whatever human commoner scum"

as he walks a hooded figure rushes through the ground bumping the 2 guards with the man. the man himself turns to look at the figure. the figure runs into the alley as the guard checks his waist.

"M...MY MONEY" The other 2 grasp their belts and notice the same. They use wind to boost their speed the 2 guards and the man rush after her, as reijis walking away he hears a scream.Reiji inwardly curses

"Shit partially my fault I guess." reiji jumps up onto a box then to the side of a building then onto the roof near the alley.

Reiji sits on a ledge above and watches as he sees the culprit flung backwards into a stack of boxes.

their cloak removed reiji sees a small but firm black tail with a spade at the end. long flowing white hair, and light olive skin. Reiji looks puzzled"...a devil kin...no a half devil." The frantic noble kicks the girl into the wall then summons arrows if ice to seal her against the wall.

The 2 guards smirk as the noble walks close" so you think you can steal my money you useless halfling...reiji frowns

"idiot shes not a vampire" the guy punches her face showing a starved expression then looks her up and down. reiji notices and as he goes to touch her a pressure is exerted from above them..

the sheer power of it as reiji jumps from above causes the 2 weak guards to faint from magic overload.

reiji snaps his fingers. Dragon roar revised sonic frequency. the ice shatters and the girl faints as her eyes close she looks at reiji.

Reiji walks up to the noble who fires icicles at reiji. he slaps them away like they are sticks reiji punches the man then breaks his arms.. one word escapes his breathe. "garbage"

reiji takes the girl back home with him.

Reiji takes the men's pouches of silvers with him. he covers the girl. he then asks Francesca to make her food and a drink. As the girl awakens in shock at the meal beside her. she remembers the man that saved her.

her only thought was to thank him, but since she only saw his back she could not. she went to get up, but the door opens and that frightens her. A man walks in and sets the pouches down.
