"I will kill you Noelle."
The person breakes the doors down walking inside and seems like a young boy with blonde hair and creepy smirk‚ average height.
"I will not let you run this time Noelle-san" The boy said sounding dark.
All of them quickly stands up with Kaito reaching for his sword but just to realize it was broken by Ren and he can barely fight bare handed.
"W-what who's that‚ he looks scary!!" Noboru says hiding behind Kaito and so does Hakari.
"He's really scary..is he actually gonna kill Noelle-san?" Hakari asks hiding behind Kaito scared.
"Buahaha no escape or anyone to disturb now Noelle!" The mystery person says.
"No you dumbasses‚ he's not gonna kill me! He is just another one of our team's member‚ he is just always looking for fights‚ you dumbass Renjuro I'm not gonna fight you!" Noelle said while being embarrassed and frustrated from Renjuro behavior to always look for a fight even in public places.
"Who's those people? Are they strong‚ Hey can we fight we I'll kill you" Renjuro says looking over at Kaito and hakari‚ Noboru who's hiding behind Kaito's back.
"No one is gonna fight a crack head like you and we have more important business to attend rather than your mischiefs!" Noelle yelled at Renjuro.
"Awh c'mon just one fight i wanna see how strong they're‚ especially that long crimson haired guy." Renjuro says pointing at Kaito.
"U-uh you wanna fight me? I mean I don't even have my sword with me right now‚ i broke it." Kaito says to Renjuro knowing damn well he can't fight with fists and would lose without a sword.
"You broke your sword? Well that's sad i wanted to fight you!" Renjuro says with a disappointed expression.
"I think it's about time we get to the meeting‚ c'mon I'll lead you there." Noelle says pushing Renjuro out of the way leaving the restaurant.
"Atleast tell me your names all of you." Renjuro asks to Kaito and his friends.
"I'm Kaito.
"Hakari"
"I'm Noboru and i don't like fighting so don't you dare ask me you mushy head!"
All of them introduce themselves‚ Renjuro smiles at Noboru. "Alright i won't ask you for a fight Noboru-san‚ Also I'm Renjuro one of Kazuki's team's member. Nice to meet you!"
"Alright now we are going move out the way Renjuro and make sure to pay for the door you broke." Noelle says before leaving the restaurant with Kaito‚ Hakari and Noboru following behind.
"Oh the door? I don't have money to pay" Renjuro looks back to Noelle just to see they're all gone already. "Oh they're gone.."
"Don't try to mess up at the meeting otherwise the head won't accept you as citizens of Slayer's Village and might kick you out..or feed you to demons." Noelle gives them details while on their way to the place they were told to come to.
"Feed us to demons?! How ruthless are those Captains and the Head even is?!" Noboru says feeling terrified by the words of Noelle.
Kaito holds hakari hand while walking. "It will all be good..nothing will happen." Kaito thinks to himself.
"That sounds like Light Novel theory feeding people to demons" Noboru adds trying to believe that they won't feed him to demons.
"I didn't even marry yet..why did i have to get stuck in this mess.." Noboru curses under his breath since he never liked fighting demons in the first place‚ just forced to do it.
"I am sure you all will be alright as long as you make the captains like you and make them think it would be a waste letting someone like you die in vain." Noelle says trying to cheer them up a little. "Not that i would care if you die or live." She said with a embarrassed blush totally not meaning what she just said.
"Just try not to die." Noelle said as they finally reach the Demon Corps building‚ which seem to be just a small house like a tatmi chamber surrounded by greenery‚ training grounds and few people training in there‚ few mediating and sparing with wooden swords.
"Ah you're all finally here‚ i was expecting you all." A guy looking at his 20s with silver hairs walk up to them.
"My name is Daigo‚ I shall lead the three of you where you're needed. Your job is done here Noelle you can go back." Daigo says to the three of them Kaito‚ Hakari and Noboru with Noboru already sweating.
Noelle doesn't like the way Daigo talks to her but she ignores him and turns to the three of them. "Remeber what i said and try not to die."
Daigo leads the three of them away into the hous as Noelle watches before walking away. "Better come back alive you three.."
The three of them walks behind Daigo‚ Noboru holding onto Kaito's arm scared. "This place is so dark and scary why would they make a house like this."
Daigo speaks up at Noboru's curiosity. "The Head of Soul Slayers doesn't like sunlight or normal light at all‚ that's why they keep their house mostly dark." Finally Daigo stops at a sliding paper‚ he slides it open and step aside to reveal a room with 7 Captains including Kazuki sitting on cushions and an old man sitting there with his wife. "He's probably the head of Soul Slayers that Noelle was talking about." Kaito thinks to himself.
Kazuki smiles before saying. *Kaito-kun you all finally came‚ have a seat you three." Kazuki say pointing at the cushions‚ all three of them sit down together on the cushions with kaito observing their surrounding noticing 5 of the captains are men and 2 women all looking at their 20s and 30s.
The head speaks up. "Welcome all three of you‚ I see so you're Kaito..i thought you would be taller haha. The head seem to tease Kaito for his average height.
One another Captain looking around Kaito's age lean in with a grin. "Hey tell me did you guy defeated Ren or did he tripped over his own feet‚ telling by your bandages i think he got bored of you. Tell me how did you defeated him I'm so excited!"
"Well uh you see we didn't defeated him‚ Kazuki-san helped us or otherwise the three of us would be dead."
"Oh i see‚ guess you were lucky that Kazuki helped you because this big oaf doesn't help people at all‚ he is always trying to find an excuse so he won't have to do any work haha‚ by the way my name's Takuma let's be friends."
Another female Captain leans forward looking at Noboru. "Hey you pale looking one‚ i thought you catch poison from Ren but you still looks like a good wind will knock you up‚ my name's Kohaku."
Noboru chuckles nervously and thinks to himself still his hands clutching onto Kaito's sleeve. "If i survive this meeting i bet I can't be scared of demons anymore..these captains are so scary!"
Kaito blurted out. " We still fought with everything we had."
Another woman captain tapped her fan against her shoulder‚ smirking.
"Everything you had? That was everything?Hm. You wouldn't had survived if it weren't for Kazuki Maybe we should feed you three to demons atleast then you'd serve as snacks‚ also my name's Akane~"
Kaito's expression turns serious. "I will fight any of you right here if i have to prove my strength but don't you dare touch my friend or sister."
All the captains chuckles one even clapped. "Ohhh‚ I like this one. Full of fire. Reminds me of myself when i was young‚ hey there and I'm Minato call me friend if you'd like haha."
Even the sternest Captains break a small smile at their mischief.
Finally‚ the Head raises his hand. "Enough‚ Mock them if you will‚ but we must decide. Will they be tested as recruites or cast outside the walls."
The laughter die down but the grin on few captains faces stays because they've taken quite the liking to the three of them.
A tall captain with messy hairs leaned back‚ yawing. "Honestly‚ I vote to throw them out. We need less mouth to feed."
Kohaku the woman captain speaks. "Ha! Says the one who eat enough for three squads." Earning a round of chuckles by other captains and Head.
Akane smirked again. "I still say we let the demons have them. Ren was after these three and Ren's a bloodfang demon even two captains together won't be able to defeat someone like him and who knows if he targets Slayer's village because we're hiding these three kids here."
Takuma speaks up. "I disagree‚ They're raw yes but raw ore can be forged. Also Kaito-kun seems strong i wanna fight him!"
Another scarred-faced Captain laughs deeply. "You just want new toy to play with."
Takuma shrugged. "And what's wrong with that? Besides‚ Ren doesn't retreat for just anyone. These three might be special or strong!"
The head blind eyes shifted towards takuma voice. "So you claim them in your team?"
The room fells quite‚ Every captain turned waiting.
Takuma smirks. "Why not? If they die‚ they die. If they'll live‚ they'll live but i pass."
The room turns into whispers and some captains decline saying. "We already have enough people in our team" and some "Feed them to demons they're weak."
Akane smirks. "No one's stepping forward? Then perhaps it's simple why waste food on dead weight."
Kohaku speaks up. "Well i would've taken you three because you're interesting but my team already have enough members‚ I'm sorry."
The head claps his hands. "Silence‚ So it's decided the three of them will be kicked out from the village."
Just as the Head says that Kaito's heart drop and he starts thinking. "What should i do..what should i do I've to protect my sister and Noboru!"
Suddenly Captain Kazuki stands up pulling out his katana. "Silence everyone!"
