Cake, Blade and Monsters (1)

Joseph arrived in front of the Suhara's household in no time and slipped inside the house. He watched as servants rushed all around, screaming about ' Guests' coming. Joseph decided to wait for a bit.

Soon enough, a group of tall people wearing long black cloaks entered the house. They were welcomed by the servants and were lead to the diner room, where they would eat dinner with Koichi. Joseph noticed that they all had the same emblem on their cloaks. It was a Toad.

' So the Beasts possibly ? Would make some sense I guess. The Beasts seems to be the Bad Guys, while the colours are the good ones.' Thought Joseph as he sneakily walked towards the room when he saw that all servants had disappeared after Koichi had told them that he wanted to be left alone.

" So you say that the heir of the Oibara will have a birthday party next week ?" Asked Koichi as drank some sake while the figures all nodded.

" Indeed, and that's when I'll strike. The Oibara will have hired some agents, however they can't hire powerful ones because the clans have placed restrictions on them. It happens sometimes when a group or a person requires our services too much. The Oibara can only hire weak agents for the party. That or just one somewhat good agent, unfortunately for them I am quite powerful. No matter who they send, I'll definitely kill both the heir and the Boss. Just hire some goons to take care of everyone else." Said the figures at the same time. It scared Joseph a but but he quickly saw that Koichi too wasn't entirely used to this.

" Great then ! I hope you'll succeed."

" Hope ? No need to hope for anything, I'll accomplish this mission or die trying." Said the figures before they all got up and walked away. Joseph quickly dashed in another room, and watched from a door peak as they all exited the room.

" Eeek !"

Turning around as he heard a small yelp, Joseph had to supress the urge to facepalm when he saw a woman changing herself.

" Sorry Ma'am, but I'll need to hurt you a bit." Said Joseph as his eyes flashed red and the woman fell to the ground, still naked. Joseph threw her kimono on her so it would cover her body a bit and left the room.

Since he now knew when Koichi would strike, he would need to know how Tendou was going to retaliate, but the system stopped him.

[ I sense a strange energy emanating from the Oibara Clan's main house. It seems almost inhumane. I recommend not going there.]

' Ugh...The hell are those dumbasses doing ? I swear if they hired a demon I am gonna.....Well actually I am gonna cry if they did. Do you think they could've done that ?'

[ Impossible. Had they tried to summon a demon, the agents they are in contact with would've arrived in a matter of seconds and slaughtered both the demon and the whole clan.]

' Okay now I feel like they are much scarier than demons.' Thought Joseph. Since he couldn't go to the Oibara, he decided to go back home. He came back in a few seconds, but had to crouch and hide behind a small wall when he saw who was waiting in front of his house.

' Ohohoho, hell no ! I am not entering my house when this psycho is around.' Thought Joseph, moving his head a bit to take a peak and confirm that there was indeed a little psychotic girl in front of his house. Though she was wearing a cute shark pajamas this time, however her tattooed eye was still moving around like it had a mind of it's own.

[ Oh......Probability of Host dying: 70%]

' Oh really ? I really wonder why that is !!! How am I gonna do ? I can't stay outside until she goes away.'

[ You can't, but you will if you value your life.....And you are already walking towards her, nevermind]

Joseph was indeed already walking towards Mako. She was looking at his house so he was actually creeping behind her. He finally reached and she seemed to be completely unaware of his presence, until Joseph tapped her on her shoulder. She suddenly turned around but saw no one, she tilted her head as Joseph quickly entered his house.

He let put a huge sigh of relief when he saw her still looking around, wondering what had happened.

" Thank god she's dumb."

" Who is ?'

" Oh some girl named Mako, she is crazy but she is dumb so......" Joseph stopped himself and turned his head slightly. He then let out a yelp as he saw the grinning mako looking at him with sparkly eyes.

" M-MAKO ?! Wha....What are you doing here ?!" Asked Joseph, reaching for something in his cloak. Mako saw his hands and and grabbed them with her own, which resulted in Joseph slapping her hands away and falling on his couch. Mako jumped on him, her tattoed eye moving frantically as her face got closer to his.

" STOP !!!!" Screamed Joseph. Mako flinched when she heard the loud scream and Joseph got away from her quickly.

" Answer my question ! What the heck are you doing here ?!"

" Weeeeeell.....Mako's Boss was quite angry after his meeting with the Colours' Boss, so he told everyone they were free for a few days. Since Mako was bored, Mako decided to come over there and see Joseph !" Chirped Mako.

" You are incredibly suspiscious, you know that ?" Asked Joseph, his face sweating as he plopped on a chair and motioned at Mako to pick one herself. As soon as she did, her tattoed eye stopped moving and her smile disappeared.

" I know, but let's get down to business anyway."

".....Are you another personnality that Mako has ?" Asked Joseph, looking slightly confused.

" Nah, I am Mako. Because of a certain event my personnality was literally split in two. The Mako of good days and the Mako of bad days. Basically I am serious and she is stupidly happy. I am cold and she insanely creepy at random times. Same person, but some really opposes behaviours. Weird, I know, but If you stop at that you won't be able to stomach the other agents." Said Mako, her empty eyes staring at Joseph as he shifted in the chair.

" Okay I am just gonna ignore how weird this is. So why did you come here ? I mean I can imagine the other Mako wanted to possibly rape/torture/eat me, but what do you want ?" Asked Joseph , which got him an amuses snort from the girl who now looked like a deadly woman.

" It's simple. A certain Agent Toad accepted a mission from the Suhara. An another agent accepted a mission from the Oibara. They are in conflict and you technically started it. Not really actually, but let's say you did. I came here to tell you that you might as well just stay as far away from them as possible. I kinda like you, so it would be a pity if you died before you became an agent." Admitted Mako, looking away as if she was disgusted after Joseph smiled when she said she kinda liked him.

" Become an agent ? Now why the hell would I want to join any of your clans ?" Asked Joseph. Mako seemed surprised for a second but shrugged it of, though Joseph did hear her say something along the lines of ' So no one told him'.

" At some point, it will be no longer possible for you to basically be a demon. If you become too powerful while doing so, you might attract the attention of some high ranked demon.....And then you got a free ticket to hell, and you don't want that. Becoming an agent is only logical."

" And what if I just start my own clan or organization ?"Asked Joseph, even though he mainly said that as a joke.

" You could. Besides the agents some powerful humans do exist and you could recruit them, hell you could just recruit some of our clients.....But it will be difficult to do. For that you'll need to find them and convince them to join you. But if they didn't join us, why would they join you ?" Said Mako in a completely serious manner.

" Because I am not creepy as hell ?"

" * Giggle* Okay you got me there. Though I am serious about the thing with the two clans."

' You heard her system, can't do-'

[ Ding ! New Mission issued by ?¿?¿?: Collect the souls of everyone at the birthday party.]

[ Reward: Demonic Martial Arts Scroll + 50 000 points if one of the Agents is killed by the Host.]

' Nevermind' Thought Joseph as he looked at Mako with an apologetic glint in his eyes.

" Sorry can't, I need to go there, cuz...." Joseph couldn't say more as Mako grabbed him and pulled his face against hers. They stayed like this for a few seconds before she let go.

" You have a system don't you ?"

".....How the hell do you even know that ?! Also are systems some sort of common things ?!" Yelled Joseph. Mako merely huffed and said something in a small voice. Suddenly a small green screen appeared, it was her status.

" Yes and no. All creatures who use energies have those interfaces. But we don't have a real system. You should have an inventory and a shop right ? You also have quests ? We gave none of those. Those three things were given to you and are being managed by whoever gave you this system....And I actually think I know who it is, and no I can't tell you. Be wary though. This benefactor won't be able to keep the system working if some powerful being were to mess with it, so as I said don't get caught and don't attract too much attention. Given that this benefactor isn't on earth, no matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to completely protect the system. For that he'll need to come on earth, but a being strong enough to bestow a system upon someone can't come to earty without getting the attentio of the entire damn universe." Said Mako, sighing deeply as a look of longing appeared on her face.

" Okay, thanks for the info, but I have a question.....Is life some sort of video game ? I mean if all creatures who uses energies have those, then we pretty much all live in a game."

" It wasn't like that before, it changed recently. But the change came from those who govern the whole universe and pretty much everything that was ever created. Everyone just kinda accepted it, it's a great help afterall. Per example it can tell you what your energetic affinity is so you don't have to pratice an energy like chakra when you have an affinity with magic." Said Mako. She then got up and bowed to Joseph.

" I hope you won't die too soon Joseph. Good luck with the future slaughter, it will get messy." She said before she was suddenly gone, the only trace of her being here, a blue petal she left behind.

" If it gets messy, I just hope that Hamagiri's gift will help me." Said Joseph, chuckling nervously.

[ Let's hope Host]

" Really reassuring, thanks damn robot."

[ Well the damn robot recommend going to sleep and plan what you'll do next week when you wake up. Maybe even try to see if you can do some sightseeing at the place where they'll hold the burthday party.]

Joseph just nodded and lifted his hand in the air. It stopped and some sort of black hole appeared. Joseph's hand entered it and grabbed something inside. The hole then closed and Joseph now had a black katana with a red sheath in his hands.

" I think I'll train with this beauty first."
