"That's fine, I understand what it's like to be in a completely new place." Yuuma said as she kept her smile.
'I'll bet.' I thought avoiding the rolling of my eyes, "Well, it's getting late so I should head home." I said aloud to Yuuma, "But maybe sometime in the future we could get together again, I'd really feel a lot more comfortable around this town when I know someone here."
Yuuma's eyes widened in surprise, "I-I'll have to talk with my colleagues about that, we're really busy as of late." Yuuma said coming up with a quick excuse.
"Well if you ever have a chance," I said putting down my bags, pulling out a pen and notepad, and my phone (Which thankfully still works) and wrote down my number on the notepad before tearing it out and handing it to her, "Here's my number, if you never call for any reason I won't hold it against you."
Yuuma took the note and nodded, "We'll see what happens Vincent-san, goodbye." Yuuma said as she walked away.
I walked rather slowly on the way back home, and once my Shade had given me the 'All clear' I deposited my bags in my inventory and smiled, 'I have NO idea if Yuuma's gonna call me, but at least I made an effort, but didn't make too strong an effort.'
"You think I did good?" I asked my Shade, getting a hiss for a yes.
[A new skill has be created, Detect Bloodlust. Its never a good sign when it's created, get ready for a fight.]
"Ah… hell." I grumbled as my Shade readied itself.
"Lookie here~" A female voice said, "A human wandering out all alone in the dark~ how delightful~"
'That's an even worse sign.' I thought turning to the source of the voice.
It was a woman older than me with blood red hair, she was wearing nothing more than a spike nippled black bra and panties, as well as boots, in her hands was a blood red katana sheath with a katana in it no less.
[Hiromi Haruta lvl 10]
[Race: Stray Devil]
[Evil Piece: Rook]
[HP: 500/500]
[MP: 120/120]
'Well she's not too bright.' I thought.
"I'm going to have fun with you~" Hiromi said with mad glee as she drew the katana from it's sheath, spreading her wings at the same time.
[BGM Start: Stray Devil: Dead Rising 2- Own Little World]
"Shade!" I called out as I pulled out my Revolver and shot at the Stray.
The bullet bounced off her, dealing only 5 damage to her, but Shade rose up behind her and slashed at her with it's hook, apparently cutting through her Rook Defense and dealing 12 damage.
"Gahh!" Hiromi shouted as she spun around to face Shade, "The hell is that thing?"
I didn't answer with words, I answered with a 'Quickdraw', shooting her in the lower back and dealing 4 damage, along with stunning her.
I ran up behind her and grabbed her neck with one arm in a choke hold, and started punching her in the back, each Punch doing 10 damage, I managed to punch her 5 times before I got uncomfortable with how long I held her, then grabbing arm waist with my other arm I lifted her over my head and slamming her head onto the concrete, dealing 27 damage to her.
[You've created a new skill: Suplex]
[Suplex]
[lift your foe over your head and slam theirs into the ground for some hefty damage.]
'Great!' I thought rolling away from the Stray as I reloaded my gun and took aim at her again.
Crap, I haven't even done 100 damage yet.
"You're gonna pay for that you worthless piece of trash." Hiromi growled, "In blood."
Hiromi literally flew at me and slashed at me, though I quickly jumped back, and in turn my Shade took the hit and lost 43 HP, leaving it with only 42 of it's new HP total of 85… basically it can't take another hit, and I don't want to be hit.
"So I can kill that thing." Hiromi chuckled as she lifted her katana, allowing me to see it's blood red blade in the moonlight.
I shot off another 'Quickdraw' that stunned her yet again on top of 5 damage.
I ran around her and restrained her arms, "Shade!" I shouted.
Shade floated up to Hiromi and lifted it's hook and began to start stabbing her repeatedly, getting in 7 stabs of 18 damage each on her before I suplexed her once again to deal 29 damage to her.
I rolled away once again and checked her, she was at 242 HP now, more than half dead now. Good.
[From lifting a heavy object so much (Because anything remotely humaniod can't be considered light) Your STR has increased by 1.]
'Thanks for the tip.' I thought annoyed as I fired of my remaining five shot at the downed Devil, dealing a total of 28 damage.
"You piece of shit, I'm going to tear you limb from limb!" Hiromi shouted.
"Puh-lease." I said, "You've yet to hit me slowpoke."
[You've created a new Skill: Taunt]
[Taunt]
[Makes you the primary target of the enemy and slightly increases their attack power, but it lowers their defense more than the attack they gain.]
'Nice.' I thought smirking.
"You're gonna pay for that you son of a bitch!" Hiromi shouted as she charged me and slash, nicking me in the side and taking off 33 HP.
That left me with… 122 out of 160 HP, wait, when did my max HP increase? I guess STR affect my HP, so does VIT I'll bet, and that Level up I got off the Shades' helped.
[I know it's a bad time, but your INT just went up by 1, and yes, your Max MP went up too]
'Yeah it's a bad time.' I thought annoyed as I shot at Hiromi six more times, dealing a total of 36 damage to her before I had to reload.
"When the fuck are you gonna run out of ammo!?" Hiromi shouted as she raised her sword to slash at me, only to get a 'Quickdraw' to the gut, dealing another 17 damage to her, stunning her, and causing her to drop her weapon.
I quickly grabbed her katana and upper cut her, dealing 18 damage and knocking her back a bit. I then slashed at her with her own sword 4 times, each time dealing 30 damage.
"I bid thee adieu!" I shouted before running her through with her own katana, finishing her off.
[OST End]
[You've reached Level 4]
[Your Shade has reached Level 4]
Shade sunk back into my shadow as Hiromi stumbled back with the katan still stuck in her, seeing as I let it go.
"Shit… " Hiromi moaned before she fell over.
"Crap." I muttered looking at the damage she caused with just one slash, "I ought to look into armor."
"I'm surprised a human could take on a Stray Devil so effectively." A female voice that I recognized said.
Turning around with my revolver drawn I faced a woman in the Kuoh academy uniform, she had long black hair tied up in a ponytail and reaching her legs, as well as having a pair of violet eyes.
[Akeno Himejima Lvl 46]
[Title: S&M Priestess of Thunder]
[Race: Fallen Angel/Devil Hybrid]
[Evil Piece: Queen]
[HP: 1,010/1,010]
[MP: 1,390/1,390]
"Who are you?" I asked breathing heavily, to give the appearance of being winded from the fight.
"Akeno Himejima." Akeno introduced, "I came here to deal with a Stray Devil that has been reported to be attacking humans, normally there would be the rest of my group to help deal with her, but the other all had business to take care of."
"I don't think you would even need the help Akeno-san." I said scratching the back of my head as I lowered my revolver, "She wasn't really tough, strong and durable yes, but not too fast… on the feet and the brain."
Akeno gave a slight chuckle at that, "I suppose that's true if she lost to a human." Akeno said, "Well, I'm on a schedule myself so I'm afraid I can't stay and talk."
"Maybe we'll see each other again someday." I said, "Oh right, my names Vincent Lane, and next time we meet I want an explanation on what you mean by 'Stray Devil' okay Akeno-san?"
"Of course Vincent-san." Akeno said walking over to Hiromi's body before picking it up by her leg and vanishing in a magic circle.
I turned around and continued my walk home, "I can't wait for bed now." I muttered before looking at my shadow cast by the street lights, "You think I woke up the neighborhood?"
