Akira looked around. It was bright day light. Sun was shining bright and warming up the land. He speculated that it should be late spring or early summer season. There were actually people walking on the paved alley behind the trees. Not many, but enough to stress he wasn't alone. He looked for his pink shoes and found them after little pondering around. Then approached the pace he first awake. There we no signs of magic, circle or demon's body. The grass was crushed in the area where the demon was trashing and the green slime that was glowing in the night was blending with the nature.
"What's that" Akira bent and picked a bag- school bag with a tennis ball sized plush dragon hanging on a chain.
"It probably belonged to the previous Akira" he stiffened. Those were a dead person's possessions. Akira was most likely a high school student. He crouched and opened the bag. There were school necessities - notebooks, pencils and some girl's stuff like lipstick, hair clips, sanitary pads etc. He put them aside. Next he found a plastic bag holding a full body school swim suit. Looking it close it appeared his body size, but was shockingly provocative.
"What kind a school allows this type of a swimsuit?" Akira was amazed looking a the the Brazilian cut swimsuit back. He put it back in the plastic bag.
Looking further in the bag he found a leather choker with a metal plate with writings in Kanji.
"Another strange thing" he put it aside as well. Bag was almost empty. He eventually checked inside the bag's internal pocket.
"Bingo" - several banknotes and an ID card with a horrible quality picture.
"On its back should be the home address. Damn I don't understand a bit."
"This could be a problem. I am supposed to complete the mission incognito. Kill a bunch of demons, get the lvl 24 and disappear James Bond stile. The language is a major obstacle"
"Kornelius, we've got a problem" "It is the language barrier. I don't speak Japanese or whatever locals use"
"Understood, stand by while I look up for solution"
Akira put back the school bag together, and tidy himself as much as he could. He was dusted, the skirt had а small tear and was wrinkled but in a relatively good condition. He pulled the skirt few times and managed to put it in a decent appearance. Next was the hair. It was cut neck-line, but it was constantly messing with his eye sight. He kneed again and after some rummaging in the school bag pulled up two hair clips.
"pink again?" (Akira)
He swiftly arranged his hair with the assistance of the hair clips and the experience of a young girl's father. Akira remembered how he used to fix Cristine's messy morning hair. Now he was doing it to himself. He briefly stopped, shook his head and continued. His long sleeved light blue shirt was in terrible shape - tears, stains of blood both human and demon. It should be disposed to the garbage bin.
"Nothing could be done here, I don't have a spare" ( Akira )
Akira waited for few minutes for Kornelius, while exploring the surroundings. In the east he could see high rise buildings of the city centre. It was the direction most people going to and from.
"There should be subway station that way. If they have this kind a thing here" So the direction was set.
...
" Akira, I have found a suitable language pack for 150 SU. Contains both spoken and written Japanese, Mandarin and German "
" What, I can learn language this way?" Akira was amazed.
"But of course, how else a person learns the languages?!"
"Well, you know studying, practicing etc"
"That is absolutely impractical. It can take months to do it that way!" Kornelius exclaimed
"Ok, I forgot magic is real"
"Right! The other thing that you need is the basic spell [Identify]. It costs only 110 SU. I think it is essential. It is the most widespread spell in the Multiverse"
"Well of course, sure send them in or something" (Akira)
"Ahm, You have to transfer me the SU. You see I am kind a broke" Kornelius sounded embarrassed.
"System how much SU do I have?" Akira
[current balance :290 SU]
"Ahm, system can you transfer 260 SU to Kornelius?" Akira asked with uncertainty. It shouldn't be that easy.
[confirm essence transfer 260 to Kornelius: yes/no]
-Yes
[transfer complete. Current balance 30 SU]
-"Woah, It beats the internet banking into the dust" (Akira)
While pondering of the many features of the system he received a message
[Kornelius gifted you a Language package N 6432N32T, and general spell Identify N 4532S3s12 Do you accept? yes/no]
Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.
"Yes" (Akira)
[Processing... 20...36.57...100%]
Akira felt the knowledge settling in his brain, It was a lot of information, but it was smooth and took less than 5 minutes.
"I can speak Japanese" exclaimed Akira in delight in a perfect Japanese, as it was his mother tongue.
"Absolutely amazing" Akira. He was watching the unfamiliar texts in his ID card blurring for a bit:
"And read as well.."
He thought about a movie he watched years ago, where the protagonist was siting on chair connected to a machine. The guy was learning different martial arts in a similar fashion and speed....
"All done. What do you think I should do next? I have the home address of Akira Ryu. May be I should go there?" (Akira)
" Yes, you should. It could cause a problem if her parents put her on a missing list or start searching actively for you. We need to stay low, act from the shadows like a predator" (Kornelius)
"That actually is a very good strategy. I could blend in the society and hit the demons when they least expected. Like assassin class in games" Akira agreed.
Their major tactics for the future have been settled.
"But it means, I have to act as a the girl named Akira, and live the poor girl's life. It could be hard job."
"Oh come on. You are smart, you will improvise and adapt on the go. Remember why you have agreed to this" Kornelius
"Right!" Akira clenched his fists, picked the school bag and headed to alley and next towards the city centre.
While walking he was observing the surroundings. The park looked familiar settings to its counterparts on Earth. But there were subtle differences - most glaring was its state of disrepair: rusted metal, old withered paint, cans and bottles littered on the ground. People seemed normal at first, but their eyes looked strange unfocused, it was hard to explain with words.
The alley reached a small round square with tiny fountain in its centre. The fountain was obviously non operational as the centre statue of an angel was missing its head. There was graffiti everywhere. There were benches placed near the fountain. The people traffic was splitting two ways circling and merging again in an alley pointing the city. Akira was observing the statue when his eyes landed on the bench nearby.
His jaw dropped. There was a naked couple having sex.
Akira was so stunned as he could not believe his eyes. These people were doing it the middle of the public park, daylight with so many people around as it was nothing wrong with it. He made few steps closer as to ensure himself he was not dreaming.
He could see the woman face in details. Her mouth was wide smile of pure bliss. When he scrutinised further he started to see disturbing details. Woman's hand was limping loose outside the bench, actually her entire body was limp. She appeared like a lifeless rag doll.
But what made Akira shiver were the woman's eyes. They were unfocused like a drug addicted and were shedding blood tears. He could see blood leaking from her ears and nose as well. Yet the woman appeared in silent, pure bliss her tongue out and saliva dropping.
Akira reacted without much thinking and approached the man from his back.
He put his hand on the man's shoulder.
"Hey mister, the lady is not well, she needs a doctor!
The man turned his head to Akira. He was grinning, not even stopping pumping said:
"Oh you want to be next? I will be done in a minute" Then them man resumed his act without paying attention anymore.
Akira slowly retracted his hand. He looked around at the people passing nearby them. They were caring their routines, chatting with each others. Elder people, middle aged with different attires business, casual. Mothers walking with their kids hand in hand. Everyone was passing the two naked adults fucking like animals in the middle of street like they didn't exist or more likely it was perfectly normal.
Akira moved to an elder woman and said
"Hello, can I have a minute" ( akira )
"Oh hello dear, how are you" (elder)
"I am fine thank you, but the lady on that bench seems to need a doctor urgently"
The old lady looked towards the bench, her eyes briefly lost focus and returned blank"
"Look young lady, do not waste my time"
"But the woman..." Akira
The elder woman just continued on the way.
How come, What is going on here?. The naked woman was in severe condition, obviously on some powerful drugs.
A heavy male grunt of ecstasy disrupted Akira's thoughts and he looked at the direction. The man had just finished and was laying on top on the woman's back panting heavily. The man's long hair has fallen aside revealing his neck.
Akira saw something. It was fuzzy and unclear, but he approached in fast steps. The closer he got the sense of wrongness built up. Whne he was at a hand distance, he finally saw it.
There was a pulsating round bug about 5 centimetres, attached on the neck with several insect like legs piercing the skin. The thing looked like a spider had a black back with bright yellow wasp like lines. Its small head ended with needle like mandible also buried in the man's back neck. He felt the same sensation of evil like last night, but much more subdued. Akira lost it for a moment and grabbed the man's neck:
"CONSUME"
[strength +1]
The man jumped in jolt, but unlike the rabid mantis he looked him in rage and shouted:
"You bitch, did you just zap me? You know who are you messing with? We are the demon claws gang"
He then punched Akira in the face. The power of a grown man's punch sent Akira spiralling on the ground
[- 23 HP]
The world in front Akira was spinning, his left eye quickly covered in blood leaking from the eyebrow wound.
[Kornelius healed you for +10 Hp]
The situation immediately improved as Akira can see the man trying to pull his pants together and cursing her in rage. Akira stood up and ran. Hew threw a quick glance back and saw the man chasing him.
"What is happening over there?" (Kornelius)
"Not now, I will explain later" Akira was running with all his might. He saw a dense vegetation part of the park and turned swiftly towards it, away from the alley. The chase continued for a minute or two. It was hard to run with a skirt on.
Akira found himself in front of abandoned single story building. It wasn't big and looked in bad shape, broken windows, no doors and graffiti drawings.
Akira stopped to catch his breath, heart was drumming heavy inside his chest. He bent down and put his hands on his knees for support breathing loudly.
The demon man appeared 10 meters behind Akira. He saw the girl's butt bent pointing towards him. His raged face quickly transformed into lecherous lust.
"It looks like you have been naughty girl. Trying to rob a Demon's claw member?! How naughty...And the bad girls should be punished accordingly, don't you think?"
Akira stood up in bolt to face the demon. His fists clenched and ready to fight.
"You, What do you want from me, Bastard!" shouted Akira.
The man started removing his pants and said:
"You will fulfil your duty to society and the demonic church now"
"What??!" Akira
The man dropped his pants, his manhood fully erected.
"Now come and suck. But you have been naughty, so I will punish your butt hole. I have a lot of juice in me and will do it for a long time HAHAHA"
At this moment Akira realised, that being a girl he could be properly raped by the demon man.
Akira shivered. The he remembered the vacant look of the woman back there. Rage bubbled in his veins.
"You evil rapist monster..." Akira mumbled
"What did you say bitch, come here quickly"
"Yes! I will do it" Coldly replied Akira, if only his eyes could burn holes in that bastard, but he haven't purchased such type of spell yet.
Akira approached the man and stood upfront, just a hand distance away. Then looked the bastard in the eyes. He gently put his hands on the man's chest, then mastering all his body strength kneed the man's balls. Akira never lost the eye contact. The demon man cried his eyes rolled white and collapsed facing the ground.
A wicked grin appeared on Akira's cute face and spat on the demon.
"This was much easier than that insect monster".....
