Walking to the gates he didn't need Chloe anymore, he had extracted the information he needed from Sebastian, and he even gained some bonus info on their Demon race.
No matter how you look at it today's quest objective was complete.
[Objective: Decipher Bright Forge riddle]
Thanks to the "HELP" of Chloe and Sebastian he understood that he needed to capture the heart of someone bad, and when he did. When he got them to fall in love with him without any manipulation, he was to eat their vitality.
By doing that, he would be able to advance into the [1st Rank of Incubism] and he could become a stronger demon, and by a stronger demon, he meant in terms of real strength.
He didn't know about the Incubus or Succubus, but from his view of Sebastian who claimed to be a [Rank 2 incubus] he took a strong guess and assumed the Incubus were nifty bunch magic users, and for that reason, he thought of them as not real demons and just a bunch of pathetic and lustful fools who called themselves Demons,
So Hiro had theorized a way to manipulate his Demonic magica and turn it into physical force.
He was a sorcerer so if he strengthened his Phyric energy his mana would rise, so he already had a way of boosting his magic, but as for his strength, he refused to stay weak. So if he was to concentrate that demonic energy in his body and then convert it into reinforcing his bones and muscles when he ranked up, he could inevitably boost his physical prowess.
But saying that was easier than doing it, he still needed Chloe and her knowledge if he was going to do so. And so unless he wanted to die again and this time actually reform in the Abyss, he was going to have to watch himself.

(A/N: I'm just going to up and WARN you, I will try to kill my own Mc, he's fair game just like everyone else. And when it comes down to it, unless he has something up his sleeve, a trick in his inventory, or even an ally to back him. Then he will die)
(Another A/N: For example the Deathlock's curse.
It wasn't supposed to kill him, yet he was affected by his own traits, a few other things including the lack of trustworthy and valuable allies. Marcilina falling asleep. And also multiple dices being rolled during all his actions those few chapters)
(A/N: If you have any questions or comments, go ahead and ask and I'll try to answer them. This was just a very important warning as I favor none of them, not even Hiro)

Ah yes. . .When inner illusion Lilith had restored his memory, he remembered mostly it all, and that meant he remembered a "fair amount" of his time in Shadowfell and he also remembered how he killed himself because of the Deathlock's curse.
Not to mention he also remembered all of Marcilina and how he met her and what she had done in the office building which drew out his true flames...
And he even remembered the 2 months of him being Farrell, but not just that, he remembered Asmodeus and how he revived him from the dead.
Remembering everything he was angry, he was upset and he wanted... He didn't know what he wanted? But he knew what he had to do, so he pushed them aside and told himself one time and one time only...
"Just forgive and forget"
And so that's what he did, he forgive all for the most part and he even forgave himself, but now it was time to move on to the future, and that's what he was going to do.
*****
Not needing to go to the archives today, he decided to walk Chloe home, telling her that he had something important to do and even tho she said she would go anyways to look by herself, he insisted she rested... In which she surprisingly listened to him.
.
.
.
Chloe lived in a townhouse which surprised him since she said her family had their archive and he kinda expected her to be wealthy?
Hearing a joke from him about it she pinched his ear as it seems he had hit a sore spot? But soon after that, she invited him in for tea.
But he declined her offer of invitation as he needed to head the home to the branch house,
He knew his mother was bound to do something drastic if he didn't show up, so he decided to hurry to train station(FTS) to go to district 3 and get there.
But as he was on the train and he was looking out the window, he remembered what Ollie had said and as he looked to the town he saw one! He saw someone in which he was going to need for his next and newly occurring objective.
***[L: Branch House]***
=In the hallway outside of check-up room, 5 pm=
*Knock Knock*
"I'm coming in"
Stepping into the room he had sensed a string pressure of hostility from his left and as he looked over to it, it was Mary and she was giving a death stair to his right and he looked over to his right where he saw Isabell, and then he looked in front of him to where he saw Mari who was glaring at him with an angry expression on her face.
"Hiro"
Hearing the unpleasant voice of his sister he frowned as he looked at her and it wasn't that of disgust or hate. She just looked so brail and that looking at her up close made him think she was another person.
"Mom, why does it look like Mari's a skeleton person?"
Pointing at her and looking over to Mary she hadn't responded, so as Mari heard that and got up, being all pissed by his insult, he stepped forward getting in front of Mari's face and in between his mother's gaze at the scared Isabell.
With Mari up in his face as well, she looked up at him and as the clouds shifted clearing the sky, Her eyes glew a bright sky blue, and he flickered and glew a bright scarlet red.
"Hiro..."
"Mari..."
With tension sparking in between the both of them, they were blocking Mary's sight and she had finally noticed he was here.
But as she did, the both of them took a step back and hit the ground, hurling their fist at each other and punching each other both in the face.
She was flung against the wall cracking it, and he was shot at the door frame breaking the wood on the side as he crashed into it and then the ground.
"What the hell are the both of you doing!!!" Mary
Removing faster than her he pushed up and as he did, she sharply inhaled and fell onto the bed as she pushed herself out of the cracked wall before gravity took action.
Facing her he kicked the ground dashing at her in a straight line and as he did, she hit the bed and jumped at him. Clenched her fist and a sky blue fire shrouded her fist in mid-air,
But as she did, he clenched his fist and started saying the incantation to [Bolster] as his flames manifested and coated his hands in orange flames.
"Go to hell!" Mari
Mari shouted like a warcry as her flaming fist collided with his and a wave of force came from both their fist colliding.
But as they first collide and the others were startled by them, Hiro's eyes turned sharp as he the force came from them. He kicked the side of the ground, sending his foot shooting through the air and flipping his entire body as he skillfully kicked her in the head and sent her flying at their mother as his counter.
Landing on his feet, Mary caught Mari and they both disappeared in a flash.
Appearing over to his side, she threw Mari onto the bed and faced at Hiro and then Mari again,
"What the hells wrong with the both of you! Stop fighting at once" Mary
But as she said that, he clicked his tongue and pointed at Mari as his fist which has touched Mari's was covered in blood and burns as her flames were way to powerful despite her holding back by 98%.
"She started it!!!" Hiro
Blood had fell down from his hand and her eyes widened.
