During their trip, Kurobe and Yuki keep killing other monsters in their way.
Kurobe: (Using his device) Well, we got many items after killing some monsters. (Sending the items to his device) Good.
Yuki: So in your home, you use magic and tech to go adventure.
Kurobe: Yeah, I came from Neo Japan, a country which evolved during years by mixing tech and magic. It was useful during the war against Satan.
Yuki: But I heard other countries evolved in other ways, using their ancient customs.
Kurobe: Yeah, they have their way, but we have in common, defeat Satan!
Yuki: Kurobe, look! We're out of the rocky valley! There's a village!
They noticed a village at the end.
Kurobe: Great, let's go!
They entered to the village, some people look at them very suspicions.
Kurobe: We're getting too much attention.
Yuki: Well, we're dirty and there's a naked girl walking with a beast skin.
Then they saw some men running away.
Man: Move out! We can't get involved with those guys!
Kurobe: What's going on?
Yuki: Kurobe, look!
They saw three men surrounding a village girl. She seems menaced.
Guy 1: Hey girly, what's the matter?
Guy 2: We want an extra pay after making business with your village.
Girl: But we already gave you your supplies! You're asking too much!
Guy 3: You dare to refuse our asking?
Guy 1: We came from neo Japan! Be grateful we share our business with this lame village!
Girl: Please, don't be so mean.
Guy 1: Come on! (Taking her hand by force) You can pay us with working as our servant.
Girl: (Scared) No! Let me go!
Guy 1: It's useless! Your people won't interfere because they know who we are. Also we are warriors who fought years ago! So obey us!
Girl: (Very scared) No!
Guy 1: Fine, then come with us!
Suddenly the guy was hit with a stone, letting the girl.
Kurobe: Oh sorry, I failed to hit something else.
Guy 1: (Angry) What's your problem, brat?
Guy 2: Hey boss, look! That girl is attractive!
Guy 3: Also she's half naked!
Guy 1: Well, this is our good luck! You come with us too!
Yuki: (Ignoring them) Screw you, assholes!
Guy 1: How dare you? You bitch!
The guys were angry and went to Yuki. Suddenly Kurobe punched them and knocking them only by his hands.
Kurobe: I see, I got hand by hand combat skills. Awesome!
Guy 1: You'll regret this! No one can treat us like this! You're dead!
The guys were injured and retreated.
Kurobe: Pathetics!
Girl: You're from here?
Kurobe: No, we're in a trip.
Girl: Thanks for helping me.
Kurobe: I didn't do this for you. I was being bothered by those.
Girl: Even that, thanks.
Kurobe: We have our business so bye.
Girl: Wait, you look poor with those torn clothes. Specially you girl, are you planning to walk naked?
Yuki: I have no other costume.
Girl: Come with me (Taking her hand) There are some costume stores.
She was taking Yuki to other place. Kurobe follow them.
Kurobe: If there are costume stores here, it's good time.
Girl: By the way, my name is Misao Matsubara.
They entered to a costume store. Misao was helping choosing clothes for Yuki. Later Yuki was using a costume. It was a black skirt, white shirt and blue coat. Black boots. Also using a ribbon behind her head.
Kurobe: (Observing her) Yuki, you look good.
Yuki: (Smiling and funny blushing) Thanks.
Misao: That really fits you. Also you have a good figure for your age.
Yuki: Thanks Misao. By the way I'm Yuki. And this scary guy is Kurobe.
Kurobe: Scary?
Misao: Nice to meet you Kurobe-sama.
Kurobe: (Little uncomfortable) Just call me Kurobe.
Misao: It's my thanks for saving me. Kurobe-sama.
Yuki: Just accept it.
Kurobe: Fine.
Misao: Are you going to pay that? Maybe it's expensive.
Kurobe: It's fine, I have this. (Showing gold coins)
Misao: (Funny amazed) Ah! Gold?
Kurobe: After chasing some monsters in the abyss, we got some rare items including these.
Misao: You need some new clothes too, Kurobe-sama.
Kurobe: I have a better idea. Do you know where they send cloth?
Then, Kurobe was carrying a roll of black cloth. And put it on the ground.
Kurobe: I learned some magic to create by using items. I try it.
He touched the cloth and magic covered. Then it turned into a long black coat, with hood.
Misao: (Amazed) Wow! That's magic!
Kurobe: (Wearing the jacket) This is what I always dreamed to wear.
Yuki: You look like a dark character. With your black weapons and your name, everything fits on you.
Misao: Right, but you'll need more clothes to combine.
Later; Kurobe was wearing black pants and boots, red sleeveless shirt, black gloves, a black scarf and mouth mask which was pull down. He was carrying his 2 weapons on his back. His chain spear was tied on his right arm and hidden in his sleeve.
Kurobe: Now I feel like a dark character.
Yuki: Hehehe!
Misao: I think you look cool Kurobe-sama. (Trying to touch his right arm) Eh? (Feeling dark energy)
Kurobe: I asked you do not touch me there.
Misao: What was that?
Kurobe: Sorry, but you'd better not knowing this.
Misao: (Little sad) I understand.
Yuki: (Little upset) Kurobe, we must go other place.
Kurobe: Right, I have to find information about that.
Misao: We have a library with ancient books. Maybe what are you looking for is there.
Kurobe: Really?
Misao: Yeah, right there. If you excuse me I have my duties in a harvest. Bye.
Misao walks away. Kurobe and Yuki were heading to other place.
Kurobe: The library should be in this way.
Then they smelled some food from a store.
Yuki: Kurobe, what is that smell?
They saw a food store, they went and were eating some meat stew bowl.
Yuki: Oh! It's tasty!
Kurobe: (Funny smiling) I missed this food!
Then they continued buying some other foods.
Kurobe: I missed modern food!
Yuki: I never tasted these foods. Thanks for these Kurobe!
At night, they kept buying more food.
Kurobe: Wow! I guess we overpassed the day, it's night. We must find a place to sleep.
Yuki: What about the library?
Kurobe: It's fine. We have time tomorrow.
They entered to a lodgment.
Receptionist: Good night, you want a bedroom?
Kurobe: For a night.
Receptionist: For now we have a single room with a single bed.
Kurobe: (Little blushed) Ah! Only one bed?
Yuki: We have to share I guess.
Kurobe: No no no! We are a boy and a girl, we shouldn't…
Receptionist: It's good to be young, try not being so noisy as a couple.
Kurobe: (Blushed) Hey!
At the bedroom, Kurobe was uncomfortable. Yuki was undressing and wearing a pajama.
Yuki: What's the matter? Let's sleep.
Kurobe: I'll sleep on the floor.
Yuki: I thought you were cold by killing, are you afraid of sleeping with a girl?
Kurobe: Shut up!
Yuki: Then come on.
Then they were sleeping, sharing a part of the bed.
Kurobe: (Thinking as blushing) "I'm pathetic!"
At next day in the morning, Kurobe and Yuki were walking as watching some villagers doing the harvest in a field.
Yuki: This place looks quiet, maybe we can stay a little longer.
Kurobe: We can't. I have to find information about this Hell curse. Then continue the trip.
They noticed Misao was harvesting some vegetables.
Misao: (Realizing their presence) Kurobe-sama! Yuki!
Yuki: Hi, Misao. Are you having good harvesting?
Misao: Yeah, many vegetables. We have to have these vegetables before noon. We have few hands.
Yuki: Maybe you need some help. Kurobe, can you?
Kurobe: Fine, I hope we can finish at time to go to library.
Then Kurobe was picking up many vegetables in fast way and Yuki was giving some water to the villagers in the field. Sometimes she used ice blocks to refresh some villagers in funny way. Misao was amazed of Kurobe's performance.
Kurobe: (Thinking) "Since when I became from a demon hunter to a farmer?"
Later, Kurobe and the villagers were resting.
Yuki: So you know something about harvesting.
Kurobe: My uncle took me into a village after the accident when I lost my family.
Misao: Sorry about that. You should be tired about helping.
Kurobe: I was giving a little help, nothing more.
Misao: Okey, but thanks anyway.
Kurobe: It's true, I have to go to library to search about Satan and the curse!
Misao: What do you mean?
Kurobe: Nothing.
Kurobe and Yuki went to the library. Inside they were looking for a book.
Yuki: There's a section, ancient myths about Satan war.
Then Kurobe was reading a book.
Kurobe: (As reading) Many years ago, Satan was sending his demons to attack humans. The Lord God Y improves the chosen people to manage the war. And because of that, Satan was using some humans by using a curse in exchange of greed. The Hell Curse is a powerful magic from hell, Satan himself is the only one to create. Many humans died by the curse, or worst, they became demons under orders of Satan. Humans should never accept deals with Satan or their lives are gone forever.
Yuki: How terrible. Many humans died because of Satan's manipulation.
Kurobe: Yes, I can't imagine how many like me accept this deal.
At other side, the guys Kurobe defeated, were reunited very angry.
Guy 2: We were beaten so easily yesterday!
Guy 3: And all because of that white haired boy!
Guy 1: Goddamn brat! I want to kill him for making fun of me!
Voice: Let us help you with that problem.
The guys realized some demons arrived.
Guy 1: Demons! To arms!
Demon: Hey quiet, we don't want to fight you. We're looking for a white hair boy. He's our target to kill.
Guy 1: That white hair kid? We know him!
Demon: Then let's make a deal, tell us where he is.
Guy 1: Sure, if you can kill that brat, we can make whatever we want!
Demon: Fine. What do you want in exchange?
Guy 1: (Smiling evilly) I… want Misao!
Later, Kurobe and Yuki were walking. He was serious about the book.
Kurobe: I'll hunt Satan and asked him some answers! He must know about my family death!
Misao: (Arriving to them) Kurobe-sama, can I talk with you? In private?
Kurobe: With me? But…
Yuki: It's fine. Also I want to try more dishes before we leave.
Kurobe: Alright. See you later.
At other side, the demons arrived to the town.
Demon: This is the place that half-human is, let's kill him to satisfy Satan-sama!
Kurobe and Misao were walking until arriving to field.
Kurobe: What do you want to talk about Misao?
Misao: Kurobe-sama, let me thank you for helping us in the field. We were able to harvest mostly vegetables to send to some distant cities.
Kurobe: You don't have to thank me. I did it because it's a way to pay your support.
Misao: Even that, you did good. Beside…
Kurobe: If you finish, I leave.
Misao: Wait! (Little blushed) Kurobe-sama, I think you're a great boy! That's why I got interest on you!
Kurobe: (Little confused) What?
Misao: (Blushed and with her hands on her chest) Kurobe-sama I…
Suddenly they hear some screams in the town.
Kurobe: What's going on?
Misao: My people!
In the town, some villagers were running away.
Villager: Help! Demons are attacking!
Yuki: (Looking the situation) So they follow us.
A group of demons surrounded her.
Demon 1: Isn't her the human in the abyss jail?
Demon 2: She's with that bastard!
Yuki: You're so weak.
At other side; Kurobe and Misao went to the village. Some demons were causing a lot of chaos like burning some houses, cutting some trees and destroying some stores.
Kurobe: Misao, be away of this.
Misao: What are you going to do?
Kurobe: I'll go to check. (As leaving)
Misao: (Worried) Kurobe-sama!
Kurobe run and found demons who were attacking the village.
Kurobe: You came!
Demon 1: There he is!
Demon 2: The white hair boy!
Demon 3: And where's the prisoner girl of the abyss?
Demon 1: It doesn't matter, some of our men are after her! Let's kill that fake demon!
Kurobe: If you're after me, then Satan must send you! (His hidden spear fell from his right arm) I need information about his place!
The demons went to attack him with their weapons, but Kurobe used his chained spear and pierced into their different part of their bodies, killing them.
Demon 1: No way! How can he control that tiny blade with accuracy? It's like that thing is alive!
Kurobe: I trained in my fights! The spear and me are like one, it attacks like a snake which hunt its preys! But that it's not the only thing I do!
Kurobe took his shotgun and shot to other demon to their heads, killing them instantly.
Kurobe: (Pointing to the remained demon who was scared) Tell me! How can I meet Satan in person?
Demon 1: It's impossible! He's a god! If you want to face him, then you should talk with his strongest servants. His general demons! It's the only way you can face him. But I warn you… the general demons are very powerful! You won't be able to defeat them all…
Suddenly Kurobe shot to his head, killing him.
Kurobe: The general demons… If they are stronger, I have to level up my skills. Soon I'll find out about my family death!
Yuki: (Arriving) Kurobe, are you okey?
Kurobe: They were easy. But there are more, we have to get them!
Yuki: Don't worry, I met them but I already put at end on them.
The villagers were in horror to see the other demons were killed by ice spikes which pierced to their bodies. Also other villagers watched how Kurobe killed the demons.
Villager 1: (Worried) That boy, killed demons!
Villager 2: (Worried) But that way… isn't he human?
Villager 3: (Worried) I know he wasn't so normal! Is he…?
Yuki: You took too much attention what you did.
Kurobe: Yeah, we must leave.
At other side, Misao was worried.
Misao: Kurobe-sama, where are you?
Suddenly the guys who Kurobe beat, appeared behind, catching her.
Guy 1: (With lusty stare) Hahahahaha! The demons made their part, now I'll take my prize.
Then they entered to a house, carrying Misao against her will. She was scared but wasn't able to scream.
Guy 2: Let's do it fast before the other villagers found us.
Guy 3: Yeah, we want our turn!
Guy 1: We'll do it! But let's enjoy first then we'll move away with her!
Misao: (Very scared) No! Save me!
Guy 1: Don't lose your breath! Everyone are scared because of the demon attack, it's our chance to do what we want!
Misao: (Nearly crying) Kurobe-sama… Kurobe-sama!
Suddenly the chain spear tied the guys 2 and 3 and pulled them away until crushing them to the ground outside.
Guy 1: What the…?
Misao: Kurobe-sama?
Kurobe: I knew something is missing. The demons weren't be able to find me easily. You told them I was here!
Guy 1: Shit! I thought you were busy with them!
Suddenly Kurobe run and grabbed the guy from his neck. Then he crushed him to a tree outside, knocking them.
Guy 1: What are you?
Kurobe: Someone who hunts demons and kill enemies! You dared to rape Misao… you bastard!
Suddenly he felt pain in his body.
Kurobe: Damn! Not again!
Guy 1: What?
Misao was watching the situation.
Kurobe: The rage…is activating… the curse…
Guy 1: What's the matter? Don't neglect you're defense!
The guy took a knife and pierced Kurobe's shoulder.
Misao: (Worried) Kurobe-sama!
Kurobe: (With tilted head) You shouldn't provoke my rage more… (His head and hands were boiling) Grrrrrr!
Guy 1: (Scared) Ah! What it is? It's hot!
Kurobe was turning into his demon form. Surprising the guy and Misao.
Guy 1: You… are a demon!
Kurobe: You're evil! I kill the evil. (His eyes were on fire too) Feel the pain of the ones you hurt!
Guy 1: No! Forgive me!
Kurobe was ready to kill him.
Yuki: (Arriving) Kurobe!
Misao: (Very worried) Kurobe-sama!
Suddenly Kurobe stopped and freed the guy. He was feeling pain as turning back to normal.
Guy 1: You're… one of them…
Suddenly Kurobe punched him, knocking him.
Later, the guys were arrested. Some villagers were repairing the houses.
Villager 1: I can't believe demons attack our land.
Villager 2: Don't you see that white hair boy was fighting them? And his partner too?
Villager 3: I know something was wrong with him. I'm scared.
Misao was hearing those words, then she went to other side.
Misao: Now what?
At outside the village, Kurobe and Yuki were ready to leave.
Kurobe: Damn! A little more and I could lose the control!
Yuki: There's nothing more we can do, we must move.
Kurobe: Yeah, I have to find who are those general demons before face Satan!
Suddenly Misao came to them.
Misao: Kurobe-sama!
Kurobe: Misao! Why you came?
Misao: Who are you really?
Kurobe: You saw me, right?
Yuki: I'll go ahead. (As leaving)
Misao: Kurobe-sama! Are you human? Why do you have that scary power? It's the same I felt before! (Remembering when she tried to touch his arm)
Kurobe: (As wearing the hood and face mask) Sorry, the truth is I was cursed by Satan. I'm not human anymore. I have demonic powers, almost I lose control.
Misao: (Scared) No way! (Remembering his demon form)
Kurobe: I won't ask your forgiveness. That's why I leave. You must hate me.
Misao: No! I know you're frightening but, what you did… was to protect us!
Kurobe: I'm not from the hero party anymore. I do what's necessary. I won't involve innocence people in my fights. Your people are scared of me.
Misao: So you leave?
Kurobe: I have to move. More Satan's demons are after me.
Misao: Kurobe-sama, can I go with you?
Kurobe: No. Why does a girl want to be with a monster like me?
Misao: Kurobe-sama, I love you!
Kurobe: (Little surprised) Eh? Why?
Misao: Despite what you are, I fell in love when you saved me first!
Kurobe: Sorry, but I can't accept your feelings.
Misao: Please, unless let me be at your side! Until my feelings reach you!
Kurobe: I'm in a dangerous trip, I won't put you in danger. Neither your place.
Misao: (With tears) Why? Why can you receive my feelings? It's because of Yuki-san?
Kurobe: It's complicated, she's like me. I can't accept you. If you excuse me. (Turning back)
Misao: (Crying) Kurobe-sama! Please!
Kurobe: (With sad eyes) Sorry, Misao. I want you have a good life. Not like mine. I hope you understand. Farewell.
Kurobe leaves. Misao was devastated with her knees on the ground. She was crying tearfully.
Kurobe and Yuki were walking to other direction.
Yuki: Are you okey, Kurobe?
Kurobe: (With serious eyes) Yeah, let's go!
At the academy in Neo Japan, Akane was training in the field with her magic.
Akane: I got better magic, but it's not enough for another fight.
Captain Kurosaki: (Arriving) Good, Sakurada. Your magic technic is progressing.
Akane: Yeah, I'll do my best.
Captain Kurosaki leaves.
Akane: (Thinking) "I have to become better. Akatsuki-kun, I won't give up until I found you no matter where you are"
She didn't notice Mai was looking at her.
Mai: (Worried) Akane.
