Hey Yoshi, what do you think kind of job Ayame will give us? "Probably just the usual..." The usual? said Hiro.
Click... The door opened.
"Good morning, Miss Ayame! Hey Miss!"
"How did you sleep here, Hiro?"
"Comfortable, and I made a new friend!" Hiro laughed... "That's good then."
"Now your task is to patrol the city. If there are any incidents involving demons or strange creatures, you just need to get rid of them. But both of you must be careful if you encounter high-level demons – that's all."
"Understood, Miss. We'll be going now." "Goodbye Ayame," said Hiro.
Thud...thud... They walked down the street.
"Hey Hiro, have you ever heard of a strange white creature that can mimic us?" "Huh? You must be dreaming – there's no such thing as a white creature that can mimic humans," said Hiro.
Kyaa..... Dum...dum... Heavy footsteps, haAa.... heavy breathing from the demon.
"Hey Yoshi, what level demon is that?"
"It looks like a Jake-level demon," said Yoshi.
"How do you know that?" asked Hiro.
"Simple – if you look at its body shape, it's like a regular poker-type demon. It can't speak like humans. Jake-type demons are just big in size but have a small brai...."
Zoom... A surge of attack flew toward Hiro and Yoshi... The wind quickly died down. "Erase..."
Yoshi raised his hand toward the demon. "Hey demon, I want to explain something to my friend first. We'll deal with you later," said Yoshi calmly.
"Huh... why did the demon's hand disappear just like that?" asked Hiro.
"I'll explain later. Now, if you encounter a Queen-level demon, it's quite tough to handle. They look half-human – sometimes their heads look like demons, sometimes their bodies do. But don't underestimate them," said Yoshi...
The demon roared and swung its right hand to attack. Zoom...
"Erase... Doom..."
"Who exactly is Yoshi?" thought Hiro to himself.
"As for King-level demons – like the creature you met earlier. "Oh, like Takumi? His body is human but his power is like a demon's."
"Exactly. If an Arce-level demon is dangerous, I rarely encounter such ones – same with Joker-type demons."
The demon looked panicked... Ha..gahh...
Yoshi leaped toward the demon and struck it with an incredibly powerful blow, unlike any human punch. "Doom...."
"Alright Hiro, this demon is dead. The support team will come to clean up the creature later," said Yoshi.
"Alright!! Let's continue our patrol..."
"Hey Hiro, you're curious why I have this power, aren't you? "My strength doesn't come from demons – it comes from my birth."
"Before, I was called the Reaper. You know I can erase these strange creatures, right?" "If that's the case, how strong are you?" said Hiro. "Maybe on par with a King-level demon?"
Bzzzt Yoshi pulled his phone from his pocket. "Hmm... alright, we'll head there right away." "Now our task is to investigate a demon at a house..."
When they arrived at the house, the place reeked of hatred. "Hey Officer, long time no see. Can you tell us why there's a demon in this residential area?" asked Yoshi. "They said it's a human who eats demon fingers, but we don't know what kind of demon it is." "It's okay, Officer – we'll take care of this..."
Thud...thud... The floorboards sounded old, and there was no front door to the house. "Hey Hiro, you go upstairs. I'll check downstairs first," said Yoshi. "Alright, I'll head up now."
Thud...thud... Creak... It seemed there were four doors in the room. Hiro opened them one by one. "Hmm, nothing in the first door. As for the next do..." "A human? How did you get into this house?" "Oh, you've come out, demon. Good – no need to go through the trouble anymore..." BAM! The punch hit Hiro's stomach. Kaa...
But Hiro endured the pain.
"Impressive that you can take my punch." "It must be a Queen-level demon."
"Your body is so ugly. Come here – your punches won't do anything to me." Tch. "Lowly human." The demon suddenly pulled something out of its body. Ahk... Crack...
"What? It pulled a demon out of its own body... Why are you surprised, human? Let me introduce Zone – a King-level demon."
Tch... "Hey fatty, do you think two idiots like you can beat me?" Zoom... Hiro threw a punch, but Zone caught it and pulled Hiro in to strike him. "Doom..."
"Looks like there's a demon upstairs – I need to help Hiro." Yoshi started to head up, but he saw a demon waiting for him with a sinister stare...
