If one was to say that Joseph was insanely good at being a spy, it wouldn't even be a stretch. Ever since he was a child, he had always been this one kid who didn't talk to anyone, had no friends, and yet knew everything about everyone.
He was quite good at becoming invisible and concentrate on the voices that would give him informations. As such he had quickly learned that the one who a few minutes ago had been coldly rejected by the haughty woman was actually a CEO.
He was the CEO of a company called Kobuchi Electronics, a small company that started to get interesting deals and was sure to becoming a big fish in the future. The man had naturally thought that he was qualified to finally confess his love for the daughter of a politician that he had always loved, but she rejected him instantly.
' Wow, that must've hurt more than the kick. I feel for the guy a bit.'
[ This situation is indeed what a human would describe as sad. However it is an opportunity for you.]
' Yeah but I can't exactly tell the dude to summon a demon to get help. I don't think a CEO would be desperate enough to summon a demon just because some random bitch rejected him.'
Hearing no reply from the system, Joseph started to think of a way to make sure that the man would summon him, while following said man who was walking in the streets aimlessly.
It's only when they reached the train station that Joseph noticed the little paper that was slightly out of the man's pocket.
' What's that ?'
[ A contract to summon ?¿?¿? ]
' Oh come on ! You can't even tell me that ?! Ugh.....Well it doesn't matter, since he got this and I am here he will surely summon me.' Thought Joseph as he followed the man inside the train and sat behind him. It was fortunate that the man was too lost in his own thought to notice him.
After an hour, they arrived in front of a giant building that seemed to belong to the company. The building actually surprised Joseph, but he shrugged it off since he knew that some companies would sacrifice a lot just to have a good image. A giant building was sure to give you some prestige.
He couldn't follow the man inside the building, so he just waited outside, praying for the man to summon him.
[ Host, the system forgot to give an information. You can technically manipulate a client and get something out of him/her as long as they don't know what you are doing. Per exemple you could ask for something in return after granting a wish, even though in your case you are not supposed to. You could also do the same to people who know a lot more by simply pretending to be a demon, since Demons do act for favors. However be cautious, the demons are not exactly the ones who are summoned the most by humans, this paper that the man has....Many people throughout the world possess them, and they are made to summon something much worse than demons.]
' Worse....Hehe, then I'll just have to ignore them as much as I can. By the way, I kinda forgot to ask something, and it shocked me as soon as I got to the airport.... WHY CAN I UNDERSTAND JAPANESE ?! The only languages I know are french and english, how the fuck is that possible ?!'
[ As soon as you were granted this power, you were also given the ability to speak and understand all human languages. Though to you it would be the same as speaking french and hearing everyone speak french, but you would indeed be talking another language.]
' Oooooh....That's pretty nice. You will have to thank my benefactor for me, I don't know who he is but damn he is nice.
[ Hehe, nice....]
' What ?'
[ Nothing.]
Ignoring the system, Joseph continued to wait until finally, the scenery changed and he found himself inside the office of the now crying CEO.
" it worked ! IT REALLY WORKED !" Screamed the CEO as Joseph smiled wrily.
" Hmmmm, sup I guess ?" Said Joseph in an awkward voice. The CEO lifted his head and looked greatly taken aback.
" You are the demon I called ? You look like a damn high school student !"
" Well it ain't my fault...So what I can help you with, Mr.CEO ?" Asked Joseph in a creepy voice while rubbing his hand. The CEO tensed but got on his feet and smiled.
" I want a certain woman to love me."
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
" What's your name and what's that woman name ?" Asked Joseph.
" I am Hideo Kobuchi, and the woman is Anko Suhara, the daughter of Koichi Suhara, the governor of Tokyo." Said Hideo while Joseph's widened.
' A CEO and the daughter of such an important person. Ohoho....System can I grant his wish or do I have to hypnotize him ?'
[ You can grant his wish, but you can also do more. Be creative. Think of something and I will tell you whether this is possible or not]
'Hmmm, could I make it so that I can completely erase her love for him at all time ? It would ensure that I can just anything I want of him. Oh and also can I do anything to Yukako that could help me get her favors too ?'
[ You can, and it's quite simple. To grant this wish you will have to access Yukako's mind. You just have to make her love Hideo but hold on to her mind and lock your connection to it, also given that you would have just done it to Yukako you could also do it to Hideo. You don't have the power to do that normally so only by doing it to grant wish will you know how to do it, and you won't be able to do it again later.]
' So basically If I use a power that is given to me to grant wishes I need to take full advantage of it. Okay then.'
" I can do that. But remember that what I do I can erase. The love that Yukako will have for you, could disappear if you don't obey to me."
" What ? What do you mean by that ?" Asked Hideo as he begun to panic.
" Basically if I tell you to do something, you do it if you don't want to lose her love forever." Said Joseph, taking great pleasure in seeing Hideo gulp of fear.
" O-Okay..."
Joseph then focused and tried to find a way to access the woman's mind. He didn't know how to but since he was granting a wish, it would come to him naturally. And as he thought, a thread suddenly appeared in his mind, a thread that lead to her mind. Following it, Joseph entered Yukako's mind and understood why the system had told him that. After all he wouldn't be able to completely
manipulate her mind later, but he would still be able to look into it....And see her dirty secrets. He then tried to find a way to make her love Hideo, and immediately an image of said man appeared, with a gauge that went from abyssal hatred to obsessional love. And as he thought it was closer to the former than to the latter. He then changed it with but a thought, the gauge now heavily going in the direction of the latter, but still far enough to not change Yukako into some psycho.
Just as he was about to loose his connection to her, as if he was pushed outside, Joseph held on the thread and blinked as another thread appeared.
[ This thread lead to your mind, tie it to her thread to lock the connection.]
And so Joseph did just that, he then exited her mind and entered Hideo's own before the man could even speak. He tied his thread to Hideo's and exited his mind, but not before augmenting the affection that Hideo had for him so that it would go to the ' Worship' level. It would help to have a CEO worship him.
' Ooooh, I got an idea.' Thought Joseph as he went back to the woman's mind and tried to do the same. But she had never saw him.
[ You can your 'Profile' by simply thinking of it. However be aware that it could greatly affect Yukako's mind. Forcefully adding a profile could completely break her if she's too weak.]
' Nah she's is strong enough. What could even happen ?' Thought Joseph, unaware of what his action's consequence.
" Did it work M-Ma....Master ?!" Asked Hideo, having great difficulties saying the word.
"Oh yes, it worked perfectly." Said Joseph with an all too pleased grin on his face. Hideo too looked happy, but he knew something was wrong, he just couldn't understand what exactly was wrong. He most certainly would never understand what went wrong.
But Joseph wasn't done, since Hideo was basically a servant now, he told the man to get him a house with all the furnitured he could need and some money in case he wanted to buy something. Hideo accepted of course, but not without some confusion on his face.
Joseph then asked Hideo where Yukako lived and decided to go there. It was better to see how much it had worked on her. However he came across a rather chilling scene while walking towards Yukako's house which was quite close to Hideo's company building.
He saw someone in a dark alley, someone who a tattoo directly in his eye. And he wasn't a total stranger to that tattoo.
' Isn't that exactly the same emblem that was on the contract that Hideo had in his pocket ?' Asked Joseph. He expected an answer from the answer, but got something completely different as the person looked at him.
[ ?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?]
The system seemed to have bugged and couldn't do anything else than let a strange static sound. While this was happening, Joseph had a gut feeling that told him something simple.
' I need to get away from here...FAST !!' Thought Joseph as the figure wearing a sleeveless long black cardigan and a strange gas mask appeared directly in front of him and grabbed him by the collar. Joseph froze completely just as the figure's tattooed eye started to frantically move in all direction while the other eye glared at him.
The figure was making any sound, Joseph couldn't even hear it's breath. While frozen Joseph took in it's appearence. It had messy dark blue hair that were covered in blood, or atleast a red liquid, slightly tanned skin, and surprisingly enough, some freckless around it's nose.
Joseph couldn't see whether it was a woman or a man, but considering that it had quite a feminine face and a slender body, he went for a woman. After what seemed like an hour, the figure let go of him, closed the tattooed eye and seemed to smile at him. It removed it's gas mask, and Joseph seriously doubted it was a human. It had a glasgow smile and it's mouth was filled with roww and rows of sharp teeth that were even more frightening than shark teeth.
However since it had a genuine smile on it's face, Joseph allowed himself to calm down.
" W-Who are you ? Or what are you ?" Asked Joseph and she giggled.
' Yup definitely a woman or maybe a girl given how young she looks.'
" Mako is Mako. Mako is not human, but Mako can't tell Joseph what she is. Mako doesn't know." Said the girl in a cheery voice that sent shivers down Joseph's spines since he could see her teeth, and oh god they looked terrifying. But Joseph couldn't really fear the girl, even with how creepy she looked, she was kinda cute. Especially the way she talked.
[ ¿?¿?¿?¿ R-Run Hos?¿?¿]
Joseph tensed a bit but decided to ignore the system though, as soon as the system talked, Mako made a weird face.
" Run ? Why would Joseph run from Mako ? Mako is a good girl !!!"
" Oh fuck...."
