"Hoam~!" Nagao yawned widely, cracking his knuckles out of boredom. Countless acts already Nagao did.
*Crack!* *Crack!* *Crack!*
"Ah! Although it just for killing the time, but unexpectedly, it saved me. Still, boring yet relief," he continued his activity. "Even so—" Nagao still heard those screams from the inside of the room—" Adolph has sadistic talents looks like. That sadistic person even didn't finish yet to tortured them until now." Nagao yawned again.
(Does that person really enjoy it too much?? Uwah! What a strong fetish soul Adolph has!) Nagao shuddered as he was imagining it.
Nagao waited for Adolph to come out of the room. Nevertheless, more than several minutes, and Adolph still didn't come out of the room. As a result, Nagao felt drowsy.
An hour later ...
Those screams suddenly vanished from the inside of the room. Simultaneously, he heard someone's footsteps walking out of the room. Realizing the situation, Nagao reflexively assumed a defensive stance, even though he was leaning against the wall …
(Something's fishy in here!) Nagao's thought tingled increasingly with wary sense.
Later, Nagao saw a person figure, covering several limbs in blood, especially the face's person. A flat expression and cold gaze appeared along with the person's presence.
Unconsciously, Nagao startlingly reacted,
"G-ghost!"
Noticing the person figure,
"For God's sake, Adolph!" Nagao commented annoyedly. "I thought—!"
Out of the blue, Adolph attacked him, trying to slash through his neck …
*Slash!*
It reached his neck; howbeit, Nagao could evade before it killed him nearly, directing him into the death. Not enough with the previous action, Adolph did it again, increasing the attacks to seize the chance …
*Slash!* *Shrring!* *Thud!* *Slash!* *Tap!* *Swoosh!* *Thud!*
By the chance of it, Adolph also changed the trajectory of the attacks to several Nagao's vital points, seizing Nagao's space by kicked and punched him. Those combinations were making him into the serious problem …
*Swoosh!* *Thud!* *Dash!* *Bam!* *Tap!* *Bam!* *Thud!*
He was amid it, notwithstanding, Nagao still maintained his composure. As the result by his patience, Nagao could land a few punched to Adoplh ...…
*Thud!* *Swoosh!* *Tap!* *Tap!* *Thud!* *Thud!* *Bam!*
Adolph stepped back several steps after receiving those punches. Regaining his freedom back, Nagao uttered something,
"Cover everything, even yourself. Crippled, but skillful in a fight. Is that how you play, assassin?"
Adolph then saw toward Nagao for a while. Abruptly, Adolph questioned him,
"Delectable quietus or ludicrous demise?"
Without warning, the notification popped up before Nagao, checking that reflexively ...
*Click!*
[You've unlocked secret mission:
Secret mission "Thou who alter Yourself": Defeat Adolph's other side, Diana.
Warning: Be wary of her. Everything. See more.] (0/100%)
"Her? Wary—!" As Nagao tried to finish his words, Adolph —Diana— horrifically appeared before him, launching a directly punch on his face.
*Bam!*
"Urghh!" His nose started to bleed, making several steps backward. "You—!" Before he finished again his sentences, she vanished out of nowhere.
"Where—!"
"—Peek-A-boo!" Same as before, she came out horrifically from beside Nagao, aiming her hard punch to Nagao's jaw.
*Bam!*
By the experience he had, Nagao could dodge instinctively, rolling forward. As the consequence after he dodged it, her punch hit the wall, making a small crack on the wall plaster and her knuckle bled …
*Drip* *Drip* *Drip*
Nagao started to stand up. At that moment, he realized that he didn't read the mission fully. Immediately, he checked it …
[ … There is only term to clear the mission:
1. Leave an impactful mark within her.]
"Impactful? What A shit job I've this time! Yet," Nagao clutched his knuckles. "Make me!"
*Tap* *Tap* *Bam!*
They eventually collided each other. Both of them took-and-gave their attacks progressively without pause, making several spots awfully wreck …
*Thud* *Slash* *Swoosh* *Paw* *Paw* *Bam* *Kick* *Shrring* *Paw* *Paw*
Even though Nagao attacked her, but Diana dominated him, putting Nagao in a pinch. Aware of his condition, he jumped out the house through the window ...
*Clash!*
When he was about to stand up, Diana kicked Nagao's stomach …
*Bam!*
"Urgh!" Nagao was thrown off several steps, causing him to be slightly unable to stand up.
Subsequently, Diana walked to his face, pulling Nagao's hair forcibly. Anon, Diana conveyed something,
"Delectable quietus or ludicrous demise?"
Because of his nose bled, Nagao felt slightly dizzy, making him to incoherent speech …
"O … f … u …,"
(Damnit, her attacks were crazy. Come on, think!) Nagao thought hardly, trying to release amid this situation.
Realizing that she didn't get the answer properly, Diana made a small cut on his neck skin ...
*Cut!*
"?!!" Nagao's instinct tingled, blending all his emotions into one.
Thereafter, Diana asked him again harshly,
"Delectable quietus or ludicrous demise?!"
(This bitch ...! If my nose didn't bleed—!) Nagao realized thing that could be his game changer.
Nagao suddenly opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Diana leaned in her face to hear his words. Soon ...
*Ptooey!*
His blood-mixed spit covered her face, interfering with her vision. Getting the moment, Nagao headbutted her chin hard ...
*Bam!*
Nagao then stood up from the previous position, making the defense stance. When he readied for the fight, Diana lied on the ground. With the feeling of wary, he stood on alert. Yet, time after time remain, Diana didn't stand up. Nagao slowly approached her, closing the distance between them ...
*Walk*
He checked her condition and recognized that she was fainted. Receiving that information, Nagao only commented,
"What in the world I had already fought this time ...." He then sighed several times, receiving much fatigue.
Amid that, the notification popped up again before him ...
[You've finished the secret mission "Thou who alter Yourself": Defeat Adolph's other side, Diana.] (100/100%)
[You've gained + 190 exp and + 1 stat points.] (1/1)
[Collect some exp points to level up your level.] (59/100)
"Only get one point for this mission??? Are you fucking serious?!!" Nagao annoyed. "For fuck's sake ...." Eventually Nagao brought Adolph —Diana— to her room, cleaning and treating her wounds carefully. because Adolph was still unconscious, Nagao had to stay in that empty house for two consecutive days.
…
The next two days. At the midnight ...
Adolph already woke up from her unconscious. Although she regained her conscious, she didn't full recovery yet. Nagao backed her back as much as he can. Still, they kept arguing,
"What the heck is wrong with you??! You wanted to kill me after came out. Do your brain bird already fucked up??!"
"You damn bastard!" she replied irritatingly. "What's wrong with you? Kill you?? Are you blind??!!"
"I'm dead serious. You, out of nowhere, tried to kill me in the first place. I should be the one who asking it!"
"Look at me, you arrogant bastard! Look at my cripple body! If you can't realize it and mock me instead!!" Her tears unintentionally dropped.
Nagao silent himself for a moment. Later, he showed his wounds, especially on his neck,
"This is the result of what you did," he also pointed on his nose. "I'm not a sentimental person when I hear someone's pity story. However, made me amid the pinch situation and got these wounds, you absolutely something else. Your skill at fight before ... more than just normal person I've seen so far!"
Adolph paused for a few moments. Shortly, she replied,
"A-are you want to call me a monster then??!"
"Back then? Yeah, you are—!" Nagao got a punch on his face by Adolph.
*Thud!*
"Ouch!" Nagao rubbed his face.
(It seems like Adolph really doesn't know about that incident. Maybe it's not the right time to ask it ...) Nagao thought carefully about it.
"Ah, whatever if you can't remember it. But what you want to do next?
"Next? Going home. What else?"
"Don't you realize what time is it???"
"I've already familiar with this place. So, fuck off!" Adolph suddenly stood up, walking to the out door.
From behind, Nagao could see that she walked slowly, both of her legs trembled. Perceiving those reactions, Nagao swiftly strolled her.
"What are you doing??! Tailing me like pervert psycho, huh?!" Adolph reacted surprisedly.
"Just, escort you. Better than something's happen with you,"
"Are you deaf??! Don't you listen what I've said earlier???"
"Listen!" Nagao shushed her. "Stop fucking drama. No intrigue, just escort. Understand?"
Adolph stared into Nagao's eyes for a. Afterward,
"For now." She spoke concisely, walking out of the room. Nagao followed later. Eventually, they left and headed to Adolph's house.
Along the way, they passed through many streets, including the shortcut. Passing the shortcut, it brought them to the stream. When they reached it,
"You bathe first, Adolph. I want to drink at least,"
"No need to tell me!" Adolph immediately took off her clothes down to the prosthetic leg. On the other hand, Nagao scooped up some water to drink.
Moonlight appeared when they did their activities. At that moment, due to the reflection of the moonlight, Nagao saw Adolph's olive moderate brown skin clearly. Her body was slender and athletic, resembling a mesomorph body type, with several scars on her back …
(I never realized that Adolph was a woman. But damn, she's hot ….) He gazed her body instinctively.
Recognizing that she was being gaze lewdly, Adolph threw a small stone toward him …
*Swoosh* *Thud!*
"Ouch! What the heck??!"
"Looking at my breasts as if there's nothing else you could see. What A Jerk person!"
"W-well," Nagao cleared his throat. "B-but that's not my point is! I've never thought that you are woman actually," Nagao occasionally stole glances at Adolph's breasts.
"What A pathetic liar!" She threw again several stones to Nagao. Same as before, he got his karma.
Nagao then took a bath and caught some fish to eat. Meanwhile, Adolph started to prepare several branches, making a bonfire. Clear with those tasks, they ate the fish peacefully.
After finishing all that, they continued their trip. Throughout the trip, they didn't speak, remaining in silence. Realizing this, Nagao tried to take the initiative to speak. Unexpectedly, Adolph spoke,
"Thanks …,"
"Uh … I don't understand why. But, you're welcome ...,"
"Trying to pretend like an idiot, huh? I can't believe it!"
"Say it clearly if you want to say something, you funny woman!"
The awkward atmosphere resurfaced between them. Soon, Adolph explained her words,
"Thanks ... for giving me a chance in that room before ...,"
"Oh!" Nagao replied briefly.
"Your reaction is pisses me off, you cocky bastard!" She hit the Nagao's arm.
"Ouch! Be careful, you brainless woman!" Nagao rubbed his arm.
Occasionally, chuckles surfaced in their conversation, alleviating the awkward atmosphere ...
"Adolphus Grisel. That's my name. Yours?"
"Nagao, Nagao Deri"
...
Finally, they arrived at Adolph's house. Unluckily, heavy rain poured down relentlessly ...
*Pitter-patter*
"Again??! Amid this time???!" He sighed a long breath.
Adolph who momentarily silent upon arriving her home, uttered,
"Want to stay at my house?"
