" Ew, a rat spirit, really? ".
Says Nanako, the cursed spirit standing on the horde of rats is barely grade 2, So Nanako and Mimiko aren't worrying about it, however, Mute eyes are looking around the street slightly paranoid. Mute had an odd feeling running through his body. He felt like something was wrong and just as he thought. Something was wrong.
As soon as the horde of rats started to slowly move towards Mimiko and Nanako, 20 silhouettes suddenly appeared, surrounding them. Mute smacked his lips looking at the masked combatants. They were clearly assassins. Nanako and Mimiko look at the silhouettes until they glance at Mute standing behind them. If they could see through Mute's mask, they would be able to see his bored expression. Mute glances down at them before he simply points toward the cursed spirit in the alleyway telling Nanako and Mimiko to fight the curse.
While he handles the assassins. They nod their heads as Nanako reaches into her pants pulling out a phone and yelling out.
" I'll handle the horde of rats, you can handle the main curse spirit. "
Mimiko nods before reaching into her backpack and pulling out a stuffed animal with a noose wrapped around its neck. Mimiko tightly yanks the noose as a rope appears above the cursed spirit's head dangling from a small broken billboard on the wall.
The rope wrapped around the spirit's neck before it tightly closed yanking it up into the air. The cursed spirit's eyes bulged out as the whiskers on its face vibrated and the charging horde of rats started to move faster. Nanako runs toward the horde holding her phone in front of her before she taps her thumb on the screen, taking a picture.
The air around the horde of rats starts to warp rapidly until the cursed energy leaves the rats' bodies causing them to turn into ash being instantly destroyed, clearing a path for Mimiko to run through. Mimiko leaps up into the air before slamming a kick into the spirit's body. The spirit's body sways while it's hung, and blood pours out of its mouth until more rats form above him and start to nibble on the robe.
Mimiko rolls onto the cold ground before looking up at the rats nibbling on the noose. She watches as her sister takes a picture, destroying the nibbling rats. Seeing his rats destroyed, the cursed spirit starts to panic, rapidly swaying in the air while kicking his small feet. Nanako and Mimiko laughed manically watching the spirit struggle until Mimiko grabbed onto her plushie and yanked the robe once again.
In a single powerful swift motion, the rope holding onto the spirit pulls up, ripping the spirit's head off. The spirit's body pours out blood before falling onto the floor and turning into ash. Mimiko and Nanako grin at each other until a loud bang is heard outside the alleyway.
They looked at the alleyway before sprinting out of it, they came to a sliding stop before their eyes widened as they stared at something in awe, they were looking at Mute.
Mute's cloak is drenched in blood, while 20 dead bodies surround him. All of them except one were sliced into small pieces. The other body was flung through a car, smashing through the metal door killing him instantly.
Mute let out a sigh of boredom before looking at Mimiko and Nanako, staring at him. Before they walked towards him, stopping directly in front of him before Nanako asked a question.
" Hey, do you know who those assassins were? "
Mute just shook his head while shrugging his shoulders. Mimiko and Nanako pondered to themselves trying to find out who would send those assassins but eventually, they gave up and started to walk carefree with Mute following behind them.
While Mute followed Mimiko and Nanako, he felt his phone vibrate in his cloak. He quickly pulls out his phone and opens a text message from Geto. The text message reads:
" Have Nanako and Mimiko been good? "
Mute scoffed while reading the message before he quickly responded.
" No, quite the opposite. They are a handful. "...
