So, I've been hallucinating all this time?
"Really, why did you always act like that?"
Erwin casually sipped his coffee, while blowing because it was still hot. We visited a cafe after he took me to a doctor specializing in psychologists. Because I was worried about mental problems, I agreed when Erwin, Reta and some friends forced me to check my mental health.
Even so, the bastard's broad forehead was still furrowed too, staring at me who recently looked a bit strange to him, often staggering.
"I forgot to tell you"
"What?"
My friend put on a face ready to listen. I thought for a moment before answering, remembering a few moments.
"I guess, since that corner of the street, when we saw a demon girl eating people. Well, since then. My dreams are usually scary too."
"No dreams of sex?"
The bastard even chuckled.
"Seriously. That's right, I remember starting from there,"
"Okay okay. I understand, but why, I didn't experience anything? Even though I saw it too, right?"
"Yeah, I don't understand either. It's not fair, you should be hit too,"
I said, picking the fried bananas on the table.
After all, it's unfair, if I'm the only one who has nightmares, plus hallucinations too.
Then, do people who keep having nightmares eventually become crazy?
Oh my God! Don't be like that, I still want to continue living, even though sometimes I feel empty.
Empty?
Of course, sometimes I feel that way. Maybe other people have experienced it too, not just me. It's good that I just reincarnated in another world, being a dragon hunter for example. Let life be more exciting and colorful. Eh, but dragons do exist? Is he just a mythical creature?
It was raining very hard, the clouds were very dark when I was about to go home from work, at five in the afternoon. This weather makes me lazy to move, including going home. I wanna just go to sleep, it's good.
"You're not home yet?"
The sound of someone walking behind me made me turn around. Reta.
"Not yet. It's raining a lot,"
I answered.
She stepped parallel to where I was standing. And then, as usual I felt a little awkward.
"Erwin went first, didn't he?"
I nodded.
"Yes. I went home first,"
An idea crossed my mind, "Would you like to take me home or not? It's raining heavily,"
The girl next to me widened her eyes, a little somersaulted, er, I mean awkward. Because I saw her attitude that she wanted to go home soon, so I offered to take her, sorry. Reta is too good.
"Really? But I'll be bothering you later..."
"It's okay, come on. It's raining, if you're in the car it's safe to get home,"
She finally nodded with her face slightly red.
"Thanks, Nathan,"
Five seconds later, we were walking under the umbrella, to my car.
"Don't forget to fasten the seat belt,"
I reminded, when we were sitting in the car seat. The girl nodded.
The rain didn't lessen, but thankfully, the roads weren't jammed as far as I'm passing now. Every now and then Reta grimaced softly when the sound of thunder boomed and her appearance formed fibrous roots in the dark sky, becoming bright at a glance.
She seemed to be the type to be less afraid of lightning.
But less comfortable too, if there is a big lightning.
"Have eaten?"
I asked. Oh shit, a second later I realized the question I was asking was a little funny. Like boys talking to their crush. I can't help but feel bad for the girl next to me.
The girl nodded, "Lunch. Snack at three o'clock. You?"
"I had lunch, but I didn't snack,"
I don't know why I smiled a little. Maybe laugh at my funny question earlier.
The air is getting colder. Looks like it would be very nice to sleep, especially when hugging a girl. Uh, hush!
Why is my mind like that?
Focus. I'm driving, sometimes dirty thoughts creep in.
"You don't know about the news that's buzzing right now, about people who die in a very horrific state ... have you had a lot of victims?"
Suddenly Reta said that. In just one second, my mind immediately went to the incident I saw with Erwin last night. So it's not just me and Erwin who know? The news has spread a lot?
"Really why? Don't know why,"
I answered. Had no intention of telling about that night.
"It's horrific, they died brutally, poor thing, the culprit..."
Reta's words stopped because my foot reflexively stepped on the brakes suddenly.
"W-why?"
Reta turned to me, she was quite surprised by the car that stopped suddenly.
However, my eyes continued to stare ahead there. On the corner of a dimly lit street, near an alley. It was like deja vu, I saw the same thing again.
A woman and a man who were making out hot in the direction I looked at. Reta finally understood my behavior. She looked over there. It had started raining five minutes ago.
"We have to save the boy, or he'll die."
I said, half aware of what I just said.
"You're right, the girl is a demon, she will eat the boy."
I glanced briefly at Reta, before focusing again on the scene ahead.
Look, now two people up there, making out is getting hotter. But it made the onlookers even more tense with panic.
I feel it. But, how can we save the man from the snare of the female demon?
It was Reta who had the idea first.
"Now you drive this car slowly, if it's really close, you hurry, let me slash her neck."
What? Is she serious?
"I know how to fight it ... don't worry, you do what I say."
Reta reassured me. She grabbed the baseball bat that was under her feet. The bat that I accidentally put there.
My eyes focus on the front. The woman in front of him, being kissed on the lips fiercely by the man who did not know that the person he was dating was a man-eating demon. I know, in this part, soon the woman will launch her action, just like when I saw the scene with Erwin.
I slowly drove the car toward them. Reta already looks ready to open the car door beside her. But I'm a little worried, will we be able to fight that demon?
No!
I sped the car ahead of Reta's interruption. Because the demonic woman noticed the presence of the car and she turned her head.
Mercilessly, I raced my car and...
BRUAGH!!!
There was a loud bang. Reta was so quick to hit the base ball stick on the demon woman's head.
"Stop, Nathan! Brake!"
The car screeched loudly, with screams behind us.
Reta jumped out of the car, followed by me in tow.
Look, the demonic woman looks angry and in pain, looking at us. The left side of her head was crushed, almost crushed by the blow that Reta had just done. Her blood was flowing profusely. Terrifying.
Her eyes were sharp, red. Long fangs sticking out from both sides of her mouth, as well as her fingernails that turned pointy. The man behind her looked very scared to see what was going on.
DEG!
As fast as lightning the demonic woman rushed towards us.
CRACK!
I opened my closed eyes for a moment, because I didn't have the courage to see what would happen when that demonic woman attacked us. But now, unexpectedly, the terrifying creature's head had been separated from its body and bounced back. The man sitting in the corner there was hysterical.
It was Reta who hit the demon. However, it turned out that her body, which had staggered from the blow, was still able to move.
Can you imagine how a body that moves without a head?
The top was covered with blood coming from the neck. While her head fell far apart.
My eyes went wide. I couldn't believe what I saw.
"DISTRICT BITCH!"
Reta's hand squirted something from the used mineral water bottle that she had been holding and out of nowhere she got it, towards the demonic woman.
Instantly the headless body convulsed and moved away from near Reta.
Does she feel sore?
A hissing sound was heard. Then, the separated body and head slowly seemed to emit red smoke that was getting thicker and thicker. In a matter of seconds, the entire body of the monstrous creature, completely disappeared, under the light drizzle. No trace ...
