"Shinoa Hīragi's Cursed Gear, the Four-Scythe Child"
On the school balcony, Aoki was summoned by the girl he'd saved from the vampire.
He'd only indirectly saved her, but it still counted as saving her life.
"Um…" the girl, blushing deeply, her hands clasped behind her back, looked shy. "Thank you for saving me from the vampire."
Aoki merely nodded, his gaze averted, showing little interest.
"I like you! Please accept my feelings!" She then produced a love letter, leaving Aoki momentarily flustered. He took it; it was his first love letter, somewhat significant.
After handing him the letter, the girl shyly left. Aoki glanced at the envelope, then tossed it aside without opening it.
While the letter held a certain significance, he only accepted it out of courtesy.
Besides Shinobu Kocho, no other woman existed in his mind. He wouldn't accept the affections of others, not even bothering to read their letters. Accepting the letter was already an act of great kindness.
"Wow, the big hero who saved the school from the vampire is quite popular," Shinoa Hīragi's voice cut through the air. She'd appeared silently, observing Aoki with a gossipy gleam in her eyes. "Did you just throw away that love letter?
I saw that. Cruel! Rejecting someone's feelings so quickly. You'll never find a girlfriend, maybe you'll be a virgin forever."
Aoki gave Shinoa Hīragi a cold look. "Can you not appear out of nowhere?
And I have a girlfriend. And I'm not a virgin. I've had… experiences."
Shinoa Hīragi was shocked that Aoki wasn't single or a virgin. "What? No way! You're not single? And not a virgin? Amazing."
She approached Aoki. "Not being a virgin is good news. The Japanese Imperial Demon Army encourages couples. The world was destroyed once by an unknown virus and the sudden appearance of monsters. Many were killed."
Looking towards the distant walls, Shinoa Hīragi continued, "Beyond those walls lie ruins and a wasteland teeming with monsters. This world no longer favors humanity.
But the Japanese Imperial Demon Army will gather the survivors, reproduce, and seize world dominance."
"Go forth and multiply! Unholy heterosexual relations!"
Watching Shinoa Hīragi's solo performance, Aoki felt awkward (though Shinoa Hīragi should have been the one feeling awkward). "What do you want?"
"Um…" Shinoa Hīragi, realizing her awkwardness, said, "Nothing, really. The Lieutenant Colonel said you agreed to join the Moon Demon Company, so I'm here to tell you that training has begun."
She produced a black key. "Cursed Gear is the only known weapon capable of killing vampires. The Japanese Imperial Demon Army controls all Cursed Gear. I won't question where you got yours, since the Lieutenant Colonel didn't."
"I'm here to spar with you. The Lieutenant Colonel approved of your strength. Others would be dismissed as clueless brats."
Aoki was taken aback. Due to being at school and the girl's invitation, he hadn't brought Yoriichi Type Zero, leaving it in his locker. He wasn't worried about Guren Ichinose stealing it; only he could wield it.
Those with some skill might suffer penalties, but a weakling would die upon touching it.
"Are you sure you want to spar with me?" Aoki asked. He didn't mind fighting Shinoa Hīragi; even without Yoriichi Type Zero, he could easily overpower her.
"Yes, I'm sure. You're not carrying a sword, but your strength transcends such things, right?" Shinoa Hīragi smirked, assuming his hesitation stemmed from not having his sword.
"Let's begin."
Shinoa Hīragi spun the black key, a black and orange mist enveloping it. The mist grew, forming a large, shadowy creature.
"This is my contracted demon, the Four-Scythe Child." A scythe materialized from the creature's mouth. When the creature dissipated, Shinoa Hīragi held a large black and green scythe.
"I know this is unfair, but you won't mind, right? You definitely won't."
Muttering to herself, Shinoa Hīragi approached Aoki, brandishing the scythe.
Aoki tossed a Flying Raijin kunai at Shinoa Hīragi.
"Such a slow attack won't hurt me." Shinoa Hīragi smirked, easily dodging the kunai.
But the next moment, Aoki vanished, reappearing beside Shinoa Hīragi.
He caught the kunai with one hand, grabbing Shinoa Hīragi's neck with the other. He propelled himself forward, pinning Shinoa Hīragi against a metal railing.
Due to their height difference, she was suspended in mid-air.
Shinoa Hīragi struggled, but as Aoki's grip tightened, she found it hard to breathe.
"Are you sure you want to spar?" Aoki asked again.
Though struggling, Shinoa Hīragi smiled. "Ahaha… You're amazing. I give up."
Releasing his grip, Aoki turned and left.
"Don't bother me unless it's important.
Except for my lover, I don't want excessive interaction with any other woman."
