"What should we do now?" Asked Lucifer while showing everyone Rize's id card that had her picture as well as her full name.

"Rize Kamishiro huh?" muttered Maou with an indifferent look in his eye, and Ashiya immediately jumped in "My lord, this world seems to be way more dangerous than we thought"

Maou didn't say anything, but Emilia who finally regained her calm asked out of nowhere "Yuki, do you know what kind of being that woman is, It didn't feel like a human when I fought her, and she seemed to be acting weird the whole time… I don't know how to describe it"

Everyone's attention landed on Yuki who eerily replied "You mean you felt like you were facing a wild animal right? Driven by its primal instincts"

Emilia's eyes widened in surprise and she clapped her hand while saying "That's right, that's exactly how it felt, I have the same feeling when fighting monsters in Ente Isla…"

Yuki chuckled slightly and they couldn't help but feel their spine tingling from this creepy laughter and they could see that Yuki's eyes were filled with a desire for revenge as he said "Well, that's because that woman is a ghoul, a terrifying creature that only feeds on human and other ghoul's flesh, and once their hunger reaches a certain level, they start losing their sanity and for some reason, you look like a very delicious delicacy to her, while I'm the exact opposite… I don't understand why"

Yuki's last words were said with a pondering look on his face, but the people found it hilarious and Ashiya couldn't help but say "How about you look in a mirror, I'm sure you will find your answer"

Understanding that he was being mocked, Yuki glared at him before he replied with an evil smirk "Sure, let me use your mirror very quickly" But as soon as he said that, both Maou and Ashiya jumped in front of their mirror to hide it from Yuki.

"ha ha ha Let's just forget about it and focus on the matter at hand, we really don't want our mirror broken" said Maou, and Yuki couldn't help but pout and reply "Dude, you still talking about that, it was just a coincidence that I looked at your mirror and it broke, stop thinking of me as some kind of cursed object"

"What are you guys talking about?" Asked Emilia curiously and Hanzo quickly explained to her that one day, Yuki said he didn't have a mirror in his house and tried to fix his appearance on their mirror, although who knows how to fix something unfixable… In the end, the moment Yuki stared at the mirror, it shuttered into pieces which resulted in the demons thinking of him as a cursed object and denying any further requests of him using their mirrors especially when Mashiro told them that the same thing happened when he tried to use her mirror...

"Oh, I can see that happening" Replied Emilia and Yuki felt like he was stabbed in the heart by a thousand swords at the sudden betrayal.

"Even you Emilia siding with these demons, ah life is hard…" said Yuki in a lamenting tone which made them chuckle slightly before Hanzo coughed slightly and brought them back to the main topic.

"Cough, you guys can discuss this later, Yuki, what do you know about these ghouls and how do you know about them"

Yuki pondered slightly before he replied "I know some people from the underworld, and I heard them mention these ghouls" then Yuki quickly explained some of the features of the ghouls like their strong regeneration abilities and their Kagune and so on…

"Emilia, do you have any idea why you were attacked, after all, we also have mana but were never targeted" asked Maou all of a sudden, to which Emilia thought about it slightly and she couldn't help but think of the fact that she was a half-angel… but she didn't want to tell the demons about this so she replied "I'm not sure"

Maou's eyes flickered slightly but he didn't press her further and instead pointed at the id card Hanzo was holding and asked "How should we deal with this?"

Ashiya quickly said "Of course, we will hunt her down before they come for revenge" and Hanzo seemed to agree with him as he nodded with a wicked smile on his face.

"You guys…" Emilia was happy that the demons would deal with this threat since she was basically defenseless right now…

Now the only one who didn't give his opinion was Yuki who for some reason became silent all of a sudden and was staring blankly into the empty space in front of him creeping everyone out, and that creepiness slowly increased as his eyes started shining with an eerie light and a terrifying smile slowly crept into his face.

Ashiya immediately took out some Buddhist praying bead and started inching away from Yuki ever so slightly as to not alert him and at the same time started his prayer and Maou couldn't help but shoot him a disgusted look before he gulped down slightly and asked "Yuki, is everything okay?"

Yuki seemed to have just realized that he wasn't alone in the room and responded with the same smile still on his face "Oh yea, leave that woman to me, I will make sure to pay her back for everything with some interest"

Everyone was surprised, especially Hanzo who knew that Yuki was no match for Rize after watching their fight, but before he could say anything Emilia already started shooting at him in anger "Yuki are you crazy, that woman is too strong for the current you, just let the demons deal with her"

Yuki's face suddenly twisted and had a certain urgency on itas if his wife was about to be stolen by someone else so he quickly replied "NO, I will deal with her, don't worry I have my own ways, and it doesn't have to be right now, I will grow stronger in time, strong enough to beat her on my own, don't worry!"

Hearing this, Emilia was about to rebuke him again, and Maou seeing that she was worried about Yuki, decided to solve this in the best way possible "Yuki, that woman might target Emilia again, so I will agree to your request, but I will allow you only one month! After that, if you didn't already deal with her, we will take action personally"

'One month is perfect' thought Yuki and nodded enthusiastically while Emilia frowned slightly before she also decided to relent and nod "Fine, one month and you will let them take care of it, and you shouldn't do anything reckless either, okay?"

"Sure sure" Replied Yuki, clearly he didn't give two shits about what she was saying which made her angry and she couldn't help but start pinching him and scolding him again…

Meanwhile, Hanzo didn't understand why his lord trusted this human too much… 'I can't wait to see how you are going to do this'

….

After a few more talks, it was decided that Emilia will take a break from her job and live with Yuki for a while until Rize's problem is solved, and Yuki almost killed Ashiya for making this suggestion, but he didn't have a choice when Emilia said 'so you accept Mashiro but not me?'

After settling everything down, the three demons finally showed their true nature as they surrounded the helpless Yuki and Maou was the first to say while pointing at their broken door and cracked wall "Now then, for our compensation dear neighbor, how would you like to pay for it? either cash or through credit card, both work fine with us"

Hanzo then immediately followed with a cruel smile "Indeed, and healing and teleporting you consumed most of my remaining mana so you will have to pay for that too..."

Emilia watched as Yuki was bullied by the demons and they ended up snatching 300000Yen for him with gleeful eyes, but Yuki left the room with a vengeful look in his eyes worst than when he discussed dealing with Rize and she knew that they will pay dearly for this...

...

-Back at room 202-

"Ahhh, life is too hard, thankfully I have some alone time right now with Mashiro still not back yet from the school's opening and Emilia was accompanied by Ashiya to collect her belongings…" after muttering this, Yuki turned his attention on his system and the notification that appeared that made him decide to deal with Rize!

[Quest: Path of revenge]

[Quest Description: You had an epic battle with ghoul Rize where you used all of your current power, yet you were defeated in the end and almost lost your life while the only thing you cared about was stealing her wallet as revenge for your pitiful kitchen knife.

[Quest Task: Kill or cripple Rize on your own without using any outside power, after all, revenge is better taken by your own hands!]

[Quest note: Kill the bitch]

'I can't lose that kind of life-saving reward no matter what!' thought Yuki while looking at the advanced regeneration, not to mention what additional reward he would get, that's why he was even ready to get in a fight with Emilia if necessary to get the opportunity to do this mission!

"Now, let's check my rewards from my previous mission" muttered Yuki before he checked his system's interface and found

[Quest: Save the hero (completed)]

[Accept reward: Yes/No]

And Yuki immediately thought 'Yes' and a new notification appeared

[You received: Swordsman talent + The hero's favor]

Yuki clicked on the description of the two

[Swordsman talent: Grants the user 500% increased speed in learning sword arts]

'A simple description but an amazing talent' thought Yuki in delight, before he started reading the next one

[The hero's favor: Hero's from any world will feel favorably towards the host]

'For some reason, I don't think this ability will be of any use with my current situation…' Yuki couldn't help but let out a sigh before he opened his status window to check his progress

[Description: You surpassed the limits of a human, a normal human from this world that Is …]

"What the hell? How did my stats increase so much? Hey, crappy system, what's going on? Even my magic and mana increased without me doing anything" Asked Yuki with a face full of surprise…

[Host broke his limits multiple times during his previous mission and only survived thanks to the passive healings of [Guardian's orb] as well as his slightly high vitality, but those hardships didn't go unpaid as the host grew stronger through it. As for the mana and magic, the host kept constantly absorbing mana into his magic core and draining it which resulted in it being strengthened slightly and you gained the ability to store even more mana]

"Hmm, this is an amazing way to train my body, unfortunately, I'm not into torturing my body so this is going to be a no-no, this way of training the magic core however is pretty good, at least its better than Maou's way that requires a place rich in mana" thought Yuki and decided to kill two birds with one stone and help Emilia restore her mana and train his magic core at the same time…*

"Now then, I wonder how Mashiro's doing, she's yet to come back from school…" While Yuki was distracting himself to forget the horrible day he had just experienced, a scream echoed through Shinjuku as Rize finally discovered that her wallet was missing, but what she has yet to discover is that she's never getting it back…
