David and Yuna were in the car, that flew the urban area filled with buildings mostly made of glass. The sun's brightness reflected from one building to another changing color like rainbow. It was a beautiful spectacle to watch for David but Yuna not so much. She wasn't paying attention to anything, she would look up in the sky every now and then, and sigh.
David was concerned about her, so his asked. "Is something bothering you, Yuna? You look distracted."
Hearing David's voice, Yuna came out of her imagination. She turned to David, "Did you say something?" She asked.
It seems, she didn't hear David. It wasn't normal for Yuna to act out of place. She was cool and collected one between them. David respected her, there was nothing that ever fazed her. She was always there for him after he came to this world. She trained him to use weapon, martial arts, and even about technology of this age. David was a impatient and lazy person, he was quick to give up. If it wasn't Yuna who would comfort him and give him motivation at that time, David would have not become the person he was now.
He wanted to know what was bothering, the always perfect person in his eyes like Yuna for the first time. "You don't look good. Mind telling me, what going on in your mind?" He asked showing his concern.
"Oh, it's nothing." She said looking at the sky one more time. "I will tell you when we reach there."
*****
While David and Yuna headed to their new house given by Kevin, there was a man and woman lying on the bed. Before them was a holographic screen showing two people in the flying car. That's right, the holographic image was of Yuna and David. The man was looking Yuna with his lecherous gaze. When he looked at David, his eyes showed burning rage in it.
"It seems you found your new target, young master." The woman said with a sultry voice as she leaned on the man.
The man pulled her in his arms, "you know me, I am very passionate man. I can't let beautiful flowers weather without giving my love." He said like a predator, lusting over Yuna as he watched her. "This time Henry found a great beauty for me."
The woman was making strange noises as she was being touched by that man. "Didn't Henry left you a message, warning not to act rashly. He said they are very strong and one of them is S rank at that." The woman said, breathing heavily.
"Who the hell he thinks I am? I can get anything and anyone I want." He was enraged. "There was not even a B rank among the people who came from outside until now. How can there be a S rank? Does he think of me as fool who won't understand his plan? It seems, I have to send someone to teach Henry a lesson. Once they are there, they can also help me keep an eye on them." He decided to send his trusted subordinates to Refone city.

David and Yuna reached their destination. The driver landed the car infront of house. He went back leaving David and Yuna alone. Yuna observed the sky once more. Finally, the feeling of being watched was gone.
She let out a sigh of relief and said. "Whoever it was, they finally stopped spying on us. It was starting to creep me out a little." Yuna said.
When David heard Yuna, he finally realised why Yuna said, she would explain him later. It turns out, they were being watched by someone. "That old man has no good intentions at all. I really want to beat the crap out of him." David became angry suspecting Kevin as a culprit.
"I don't think it's Kevin, he has no reason to do that. Also the signal that was controlling the spying drone was coming from far east." Yuna said.
When Yuna first found out of them being spied on by someone, she had started observe the signals and calculating the data through her AI part of her brain. Even though she had become demon, her AI capabilities had increased instead of being lost. That helped her to understand the more complex coding, waves of the electromagnetic and radio signals. After long time of calculation, she had found the ones behind it wasn't anyone from this city.
"We don't know anyone here besides Kevin, Henry and the girls. If it isn't them then who?" David was concerned. The first day in the city and they had become somebody's target.
"I couldn't find much except the connection network coming from east. The drone was very far away if not I might have found more information." Yuna looked sad because she couldn't do more.
It was already outstanding feat but for Yuna it was not enough. She wanted to be more powerful without using her demon side. David on the other hand was busy contemplating about the suspect. The girls and Kevin had been good to them and did not seemed to have bad intentions. The only remaining suspect was Henry but David and Yuna didn't have anything against him either. It was nerve racking for David. He was becoming anxious and wanted to barge in to their place and interrogate them, one by one.
"Even if you go there, they are stronger than you. You can't win against Henry and Kevin with your C rank power. They can also use magic at that." Yuna said, understanding his thoughts from the expressions David was making. "Let's forget about it for now. If it happens again, we will act accordingly."
David was again reminded of his shallow strength by Yuna. He wanted become stronger as fast as he could to impress her. But it wasn't easy to become strong. He had trained with Yuna all this time but he still hasn't ranked up single time. David was hot-blooded in nature but he always followed Yuna's advice. She was the only person in this world who he cared and respected.
"Ok, I will be patient then." David nodded.
They went inside the gate using the key card. It was small two storey building made of wood and glass. It had a beautiful design of medieval style and the touch of advanced modern architecture. It was almost same as Kevin's house but it was too small in comparison.
Once inside, they went one room after another scanning everything. There were 2 bedroom in ground floor, living room and a kitchen. Everything was new, neat and clean like it was arranged recently. Everything was perfect, the refrigerator were filled with fruits, meat and vegetables. They would not have to worry about food for weeks.
"The old man has gone overboard. I kinda feel guilty, suspecting him." David said. His trust in has Kevin increased seeing his sincerity.
"I told you, didn't I? Kevin is not bad guy if anything he wants to win our trust. That's why he is going above and beyond in helping us." Yuna clarified Kevin intentions as she has suspected all this time.
"Why would he want newcomer like us in his side though?" David still wasn't sure about it then he realised, it was because of Yuna. "He is not after us but you. It is because of your power, right?" He asked.
Yuna nodded, "I believe that the reason but I am not entirely sure. Leaving this topic aside, we should be concerned about our spaceship. Henry's question suggests, they have found out about it somehow." Yuna turned their focus on argent matter.
After that they contacted with Teresa through their communication device. Teresa seems to be in good condition and nothing had come across the spaceship. Just to be safe, they told Teresa to move a bit farther away from the wall. Then they went upstairs where they decided to sleep. Because there was a big balcony where they could sit and relax in the morning and in the evening.
Next day, they woke and prepared breakfast. After eating breakfast they went to the city gate. David and Yuna a talk yesterday about their situation. They needed money and David needed more combat training to grow. Going to the jungle was like two birds with one stone for them. They could train to their heart's content and also sell the monsters to earn money.
One their way out they registered to go out in the gate and went out. They didn't have a car or bike with them so Yuna made it as training for David to run until they found a monster. David complained at first because Yuna could easily leave him in dust but then again he wanted to get strong so he gave in and faced everything Yuna threw at him.
At the first few days when returning from their hunt×training, Yuna always had to carry David back. Because he had to fight monsters until he couldn't move. Yuna would just watch from the side and only interfere when David was about to get fatally wounded. After few weeks David was getting used to the routine. Yuna didn't have to carry him back anymore and their income also had increased.
After two weeks, Yuna took them to more deep parts of the jungle. David had become capable of fighting C rank monsters group alone. Now it was time to fight the B rank monsters. Yuna was having to much fun this days, the was all smiles looking at David. As they moved forward, they found a big lake in the middle of the valley inside the jungle.
As David had almost reached near the lake, Yuna warned him. "Fall back, don't go near the lake. The lake is fool of monsters." When David tried to turn around, a big snake monster pulled it's head out of the water. David ran away from the lake but the monster followed him with lightning fast speed.
