That would normally be the end of the bullshit I'd go through in this shithole city.
I had tied all of my loose ends, there was nothing binding me here, all I had to do now was go to the bus station (or a train one, but I didn't know how they worked yet) and buy a ticket.
Yet…
"Hi, can you help me a bit?"
As I made my way to the station, a cute girl with black hair and wearing some trendy clothes stopped me as I walked by a quaint park.
As she stopped me, I couldn't help but frown at her a little. She was bothering me, after all.
"Yeah?" I asked, because maybe she just needed the time or something.
"Can you help me look for my little brother? He got lost around the park and I just haven't been able to find him."
My frown got deeper.
"That… sounds like you need to call the police?"
What an irresponsible sister.
"No, no! It's not that serious, he always likes to hide around, but this time he's just not coming out."
"This really sounds like you need to call the police."
"I- Look! I-I'll pay you! Just help me. Please?"
I still looked at her like she was a bit of a maniac, but the mention of money made me consider the request. It still seemed kind of fishy.
"Is this a scam or something? Why are you asking me of all people?"
"You were the first guy I saw walking! And you look reliable! I- it's fine, I'll ask someone else."
I still looked at her suspiciously, but cautiously I told her.
"Fine, fine. Where did he get lost?"
"Oh, thank you! Thank you! Right around here, follow me."
She began leading me through the park, yelling 'Kouta-chan! Kouta-chan!' as she did so. I followed, a bit hesitant since I really wanted to get the fuck out of here, but alas, I wasn't a monster. There was a young child to save.
It took her offering money to move you in the slightest.
Shut up.
Aside from that, I thought that my presence there mostly worked as silent support.
Maybe. I wasn't doing much of anything, but after the girl gave me a glance, I reluctantly began yelling alongside her.
"Kouta-chan! Kouta-chan!"
I did keep that weird '-chan' thing out of my mouth, though.
As we walked through the park, yelling that dumb kid's name so many times that I began thinking he was dead somewhere, I inevitably had some time to start analyzing the situation I was in.
And I began realizing that it was a weird situation. Highly unusual one.
Why did this girl think I was reliable, of all people? I looked like shit! My face was pale and sickly!
As the thought came to me, I looked around with my own two eyes, which was starting to become something I needed to do consciously since I was starting to get too caught up with E.E, and realized that… there were fewer people around here.
…Was this bitch leading me somewhere?
But why? No, more importantly, the more I thought about it the less sense her brother-story made. Why are we yelling that brat's name while walking away from the crowd? Why would you need any help? I got caught up with her pleading and begging because… well, it'd be pretty shitty to just ignore someone in need, right? Especially a cute girl. Which didn't let me actually process that this entire fucking ordeal was bullshit.
She was either scamming me… or worse.
Remembering what happened yesterday, with Rias and her troupe of assholes, I decided to consciously look inside the girl's body with E.E, analyzing every single inch of her existence with its infinite eyes.
Oh, you piece of shit.
Lo and behold, wings. This time, they were feathery and black, hidden by her shoulder blades and contracted in such a way inside her body that seemed physically impossible.
She was a Fallen Angel, if Rias' account was accurate.
This girl now most definitely didn't have a brother, and unlike Rias, this girl was actively taking me to a secluded place.
There was no way in hell this bitch was planning anything good for me, and taking into consideration that these angel fuckers weren't in friendly terms with the devils, it wasn't hard to put two and two together.
So, discreetly, I put my hands inside my parka's pockets, where my lovely Colt was hidden. Holding the gun tightly by the grip, I began planning… and drew a blank.
There was no way I could kill this bitch, right? The exorcist from yesterday could fucking dodge my bullets, and that was, like, a guy, a human, and yet he could dodge my bullets like it was nothing.
I did kill a stray, but she was absolutely insane and was also gigantic.
I could shoot her right now and pierce her brain and that'd be it, but if she dodged I was shit outta luck, she was too close to me and I'd get torn to shreds, and I really didn't want to die right now.
It would first make me start to hunt for humanity again, then make me lose XP again which was a loss that would increase with each death, and it would also be a waste of bullets.
…Sometimes, I realized, the best way to win a confrontation was to just not have it at all.
So, mind made up, I just turned around and began walking away from her. It took her a moment to realize, since she was caught up yelling that fake kid's name, but once she did she looked genuinely surprised.
"H-Huh? Where are you going?"
"Not searching for your brother, that's for sure. I just realized I'm a piece of shit and hate children, sorry."
As I began walking away, the girl had no choice but to trail behind me.
"But I'll pay you! Please, my little brother-!"
"I just absolutely despise children. I hope your brother tripped by the road and got crushed by a truck."
Since I was giving her my back, she didn't hide the sudden expression of anger that marred her cute face.
She was pissed, but since we were still in an area with traffic in the park, she couldn't just attack me.
Instead, she rushed to my side and looked up to me with a mask of desperation.
"My brother is really, really young and sickly! You have to help me, please! Please don't leave!"
