Chereads / Diary of a Retired Reaper / Chapter 7 - It was just supposed to be a run

Chapter 7 - It was just supposed to be a run

After leaving the shop, I start jogging around town, looking at the town, it doesn't look there are around 10 active gangs that the police are doing almost nothing about, but that's not the point. After around 5 km, I hear a scream, so I dash over. Before you look at me funny, I'm not some edgelord who gives zero fucks about anyone, so there no reason for me not to be your friendly neighborhood cultivator.

When I arrive at the alleyway, I see a figure in a school uniform and a burly man standing over them, there was no way this was ending well, and just to reaffirm my thoughts, the girl starts screaming.

"HELP" Right after hearing this, the man starts laughing, so I sneak up behind him and release my bloodlust, no reason to not, it seems pretty damn effective. He jumps back, and he then looks me straight in the eyes, his body's trembling a bit, he then dashes towards me. Right when gets in range, I whipped my right leg out to hit him, he tries to grab my leg, but i'm just to fast and kick him in the ribs. He flies through the air and hits the alley wall. After he hits the wall, his body slumps and he doesn't move. After waiting a few seconds, I remember seeing a dumpster not to far from here, so I pick him and the girl up, and start heading back home.

When I get back to the shop, I open my bedroom and put the girl on the bed. After getting her settled, I go to the front of the shop and do the rest of my workout. After what feels like 20 minutes, I've finished my workout, so I decide to cultivate.

After what feels like no time at all, I hear my alarm clock going off, so I stop cultivating, and look at my cultivation. I was in the 4th stage of body refining, while I was thinking of that, I was having another issues. I smelt.

Why would anyone buy something if the cashier smelt like shit. There was a shower place around 3 blocks down if I remembered correctly.

While those unsavory places were usually for washing the blood off of yourself if you've just fought. It was mostly people from the underworld who went to those places. The underworld however, would cause no issues with me. Bashing skulls in was something I seemed to be exceptional at.

I had just shut off the alarm, but the girl still wasn't moving, she was probably a deep sleeper, so I could probably spare 20 minutes to go clean myself and buy some new deodorant. I didn't take a bag or anything because my pockets were pretty big, not to mention the fact I was just getting deodorant.

When I walk inside the building, i'm greeted with the smell of blood and sweat, it's pretty nasty but I was the dumbass who didn't install a shower inside their home, so this was something I would have to do.

When I walk up to the desk, there's a busty woman with a bored look on her face. I look at the sign above her head, it was 5 dollars to use the showers, so I just put a 5 on the counter and walk inside the door with the words "Men" on it. When I enter, it's a white floored and walled locker room, seeing a free locker, I open it and throw my clothes inside, I then head over to the shower area.

The people who made this shop cheaped out, or tried to lure male customers in with the chance of seeing naked women, because the shower area was mixed. It wasn't something I wanted to deal with, but what could I do, I just walk inside and start washing my body.

When I put the conditioner in my hair, a woman walks in. She's wearing a black mask and her hair is dyed red with patches of brown. It would be a easy assumption to make that it was naturally that color. She has an earring on that I could've sworn I've seen before. While i'm washing out the conditioner, I remember who she is. She's the one of the country's greatest assassins, her nickname was the black pearl. Why you may ask, because she always wore a black mask and a earring that looked like a pearl. She was rumored to be the sole survivor of a test to improve humans genetically. Seemed like a plot out of an anime, but considering all that had happened to me, I could buy that story now.

After washing out the conditioner I walk out, the only reason my little brother was staying the way it was is almost certainly due to the emotionless facade, a need for any protagonist prone to nosebleeds. Anyways, I walk out the showers dressed I my usual, a plain white shirt and a pair of jeans. I stop by the nearest corner store and buy a deodorant, and start walking back home.

When I arrive back I hear a loud bang, so I run over to see what happened. To my surprise, I see the girl flaked out all over the bed clutching her head, her blonde hear disheveled, and still the same school uniform. This time, I get a better look at her, she had grayish eyes, something I never got to see while taking her over, as I had her over my shoulder like a potato sack. She sees me and turns to look directly at me.

"Did you rape me?" I was expecting this so I immediately reply.

"No" Disappointment flashes in her eyes, and I was feeling a sense of foreboding.

"That's a shame, I wouldn't have minded if it was someone like you, it would have been nice if someone handsome like took my first. But will you become my boyfriend?"

I was regretting my decisions already.
