Chapter 9: Find

Walking down the street, I kept attracting attention, even though I wasn't dressed openly. Sighing to myself, I entered a place to grab a bite to eat. I ordered an expensive meal, and while I was enjoying it, I suddenly discovered a red dot on the radar. I wondered if it could be that fast to find a demon. As I was thinking whether to get out and follow him or not, the red dot came pretty close to me, making me wary.

Soon, two people came inside, and I only then noticed that near the red dot, there was also a white one. It looked like a man. I didn't want to look directly at him, so as not to be suspected, so I continued eating my food while watching the radar. They passed me, and it turned out to be a man and a woman, both quite beautiful.

For a moment, I thought I felt a stare, most likely from a man, and judging by the radar, it had to be a demon. When I waited for them to get far away, I finally turned my gaze to them. Sitting together, the two of them chatted very well, and judging by the radar, this demon must be at my level or lower.

As I ate my food, the demon glanced at me a few times. He seemed interested in me, and it confirmed the fact that he was walking around with a woman. Although I know a little about demons from my sister, I'm not that familiar with them. But judging by his demeanor, he's rather greedy for my body.

When I finished eating, I went out and looked for a place that wouldn't attract attention and waited. After a while, the radar showed that the two were also moving, so when they came out, I followed them. The scene seemed familiar to me. After a while, they were just as I expected; they approached a hotel in a back alley.

But that's what made me stop dead in my tracks. As I approached the building, there were suddenly more red dots on the radar. The dots increased from 1 to 5, 5 to 20, and soon there were over 60 red dots on the radar. The radar only showed those that were equal to me and less, and I couldn't help but stop. I watched from the corner as the demon dragged the girl toward the building. I couldn't think of anything - to save or not to save. If I did, I might be in danger too, and if I didn't, the girl would most likely die. Clenching my fist tightly, I hesitated. I know that in some cases it is not necessary to show yourself as a hero. But as in the past, so in this life, seeing someone trying to harm another, I could not stay away. Just like when they wanted to take advantage of Litta, and now, according to my sister's stories, demons are bloodthirsty and use people's emotions to become stronger. If this girl is taken away now, the end will be bad.

They were gradually approaching this building. Gritting my teeth and holding my dearest hands behind my back, I took a few steps forward from the corner and called out to them. "Sir! Miss! Wait, please!" Hearing my voice, they both stopped and looked at me. Doubt flashed in both of their eyes, but a different meaning soon appeared in the demon's eyes. I let my head go down after which, I began to speak, and I could clearly hear the tremor in my voice. "Could you help me, please?" After a few seconds, I heard the girl's voice. "What's wrong?"

Realizing she was close enough, I grabbed her ankle and pulled at the same time, saying, "Sister, this man is a womanizer, so come with me. I saw him going out with others two days ago." The demon and the girl were unresponsive for a moment, but it was enough to pull the girl into the coal; it was a little dark. "Let go! What are you doing? This is a one night relationship. I have no interest in his life."

Upon hearing the girl scream loudly and struggle to break free, I realized my strength was not enough to hold her and she broke loose. As a result, I lost my balance and fell to the ground, while the demon ignored me and leaned forward to check on the girl in a seemingly gentlemanly manner. However, I didn't take him seriously and pulled my katana from my inventory while he was distracted.




With a firm grip on my katana, I called out to him and concentrated as much as I could, shouting "Hey womanizer!" He immediately turned to face me, wanting to show off in front of the girl, and yelled back, "I'm not a womanizer..." But before he could finish his sentence, I swung my sword with all my might, creating a whistling sound as it sliced through his neck without any difficulty.




The demon's head flew straight up and then fell to the ground, followed by his body a few seconds later. As I turned my attention to the girl, who was now sitting on the ground in horror, I quickly approached her to check on her well-being. She appeared very frightened and trembled, quickly closing her mouth when I approached her.




I then looked back at the demon's corpse, only to witness a surprising phenomenon. The girl also followed my gaze and looked on as the human corpse gradually deformed, revealing a humanoid creature with black red skin, small horns on its head, and long, sharp teeth protruding from its mouth, adding several centimeters to its size. 




Feeling relieved, I informed the girl that it was a demon and proceeded to check on the tasks in the distance while she remained stunned and speechless, staring at the demon's corpse.




There wasn't any movement, just like on the radar. Looking again, the demon corpse began to slowly turn to ash. Soon all that was left was torn clothing.




Walking up to the girl, I showed my hand and said, "Let's get out of here, it's dangerous."




She was still looking at the place where the corpse was. After calling her a second time, she finally understood and took my hand. I threw the katana back into my inventory and dragged her. It took a few minutes to get out into the crowded street and find a place to sit. After a while, realizing the girl had calmed down, I told her, "Now go home and rest, and don't tell others about this, understand?"




She was still scared. To be honest, I still haven't come to my senses either. Nodding to me, she went on her way. Watching her walk away, I sighed. I didn't want to explain. It was good that she didn't ask questions.




I looked toward the street where one of the demon bases was likely to be, and I thought for a moment. There were several options for further action. The first was to make this place a level up spot because earlier, after killing a demon, a message appeared that said, "[You killed a level 2 demon, gained 100 experience]." But the risk will be high because I do not know whether there is a demon in that building that is more than level four.




The second option was to call my sister and report. After thinking for a while, I got up and went towards the hotel. Approaching closer again, on the radar again displayed a lot of demons. Judging by their movements, they did not notice anything, so I decided to wait a little and observe. Nothing happened for 15 minutes.




I was bored, so I decided to call my sister.

Turning on the phone, I dialed the number, but a message came back that it was disconnected. I took one last picture of the building and left.

When I returned home, I put the gun back in its place, but my sister was still not there. After having a small snack, I lay down on the couch to rest and closed my eyes. I'm not sure how much time had passed, but I woke up to the sound of a knife against a board.

Getting up from the couch, I saw my sister cooking already. Apparently hearing my movements, she turned around momentarily, looked at me, and without saying anything, continued her work. Inexplicably, I felt bad, remembering that beautiful smile she showed in front of that guy. Suppressing my mood, I went to her, took out my phone, and called her.

"Sister, I found something today and I want you to see it," I said.

She didn't turn around, but replied, "Not now."

Feeling irritated by her attitude, I subconsciously clutched my phone in my hand. "I found a demon today," I said.

After my words, her movements stopped abruptly, and she looked at me with the same indifferent face. Sighing to calm myself, I opened the picture and showed it to her. "After tracing the demon, I found out that there were almost 60 or even more demons in this back..."

"Impossible!" she interrupted me before I could finish speaking and took the phone out of my hands. "How do you know there's a demon in there? When I followed one, it turned out to be in human form. So how do you know it's a demon?"

Doubtfully looking at me and asking, I wanted to explain, but what if she tells others and I am used?

To be honest, my trust in her was gradually decreasing because she was pretending to me. Besides, I heard a note of distrust in what I said. "Since you don't believe me, then forget it!" Taking the phone from her hands, I went up to the room, locked the door, and fell on the bed. I looked at the ceiling, feeling sad that my sister had pretended to me. My rash act with Litta had driven me to a standstill. I didn't know what to do. Feeling empty, I took my phone and headphones from the nightstand. I lay on the bed again, started the music, and closed my eyes. I hadn't listened to music much in the past, but at times like this, it could help me calm my mind. A melodic sound came on, an unfamiliar melody and words that made me immerse myself in the music. Music after music, I gradually enjoyed it.

As time passed, I heard a knock on the door. Taking the headphones out of one ear, I asked, "What is it?" My sister's voice came from the door. "Go to dinner." I had already snacked before I went home, so I wasn't hungry now. "I'm not hungry." After waiting a few seconds, I heard the sound of footsteps receding.
