-The following day-
"Yo Hanzo, where can I find my dear ghoul" asked Yuki to none other than Hanzo and the latter put a thoughtful look as he pretended to be trying to remember something "I'm not sure, I can faintly feel her position thanks to the magic I left on her, but I'm not 100% sure… Maybe Shinjuku, maybe Chiyoda, mayb…"
Noticing the bastard was a corrupt official, Yuki took out a 10000 Yen note and dangled it in front of his face and Hanzo immediately snatched it as he said "Chiyoda city, in the Kagurazaka neighborhood that's just at the border with Shinjuku, residence…"
Yuki received a detailed description of where his target Rize was living, and it was completely different than the address on her id card 'This level of details… It's impossible for him to have felt it just by his meager amount of magic, he probably scouted her many times already under Maou's orders…'
Yuki's eyes flickered down slightly as he noted down the location of his target and was ready to leave but Yurei suddenly approached him from out of nowhere and said "Boss"
"JESUS" Yelled Yuki startled by him " Where the hell did you appear from?"
Yurei smiled awkwardly, this was the effect of his hidden presence, and he was used to it as he ignored Yuki's reaction and said "Boss, you are just not paying attention…"
'"No, I'm sure I was paying great attention since the day I started living with demons as my neighbors…" Replied Yuki causing the few demons that overheard this to frown in displeasure before they smiled smugly at the level of terror they caused their neighbor!
"It seems we aren't rusty yet Ashiya"
"Umu, this's a good thing to celebrate about"
Yurei turned his eyes away from the two idiots that were clapping hands like two high school girls and tried to change the subject and said "Are you sure you don't want me to tag along with you?"
Yuki was surprised by his suggestion and felt his heart warming slightly 'Unfortunately, this quest requires me to do it on my own, otherwise, I would have loved having someone doing my biddings, but don't worry, the future is still ahead of us' thought Yuki before he patted Yurei on the shoulder and said
"Don't worry, I can easily handle ten of her if I ever needed to…"
'Confident as always' thought Yurei who was used to Yuki boasting about his greatness before he said "Fine then, make sure to make it quick and come back safely!"
Yuki nodded at him and shot him a thumbs up before he left Rosa Villa, unaware that Yurei suddenly took flight through the air using his Telekinesis and started tailing him from out of view…
His telekinesis was different than his phantom phasing because just like Yuki's dark strike that relies on stamina, telekinesis relies on Mindpower, which he had plenty of for obvious reasons…
…
Meanwhile, beside the door of room 202, a red-haired girl was spying on their conversation with a frown on her face as she thought 'It's finally time huh…' for some reason, she felt sad… Sad at the thought of her current life changing, a life she grew to enjoy despite how cramped it was…
But soon, a strong determination ignited in her eyes as she chugged down a mana recovery potion, put on her stalker hat and glasses and left the room… Her destination similar to Yuki and Yurei…
Meanwhile, Ashiya kept watching with a faint smile on his face from the window as they each left one after the other before he turned to Hanzo who was reading a manga with a lazy look in his eyes and said "Aren't you going as well?"
Hanzo didn't shift his eyes from his manga as he responded "Why should I go after that cheap bastard" but Ashiya wasn't a demon general for nothing as he chuckled and said "Then how long are you going to keep reading the same page of that manga over and over again"
"That is none of your business!" Yelled at him Hanzo before he stood up and said "I'm going to take a walk"
Ashiya's eyes widened slightly but he held in his laugh until Hanzo left and muttered to himself "You haven't left the room in almost a month you weirdo… You really think anyone would believe you'd take a walk all of a sudden…"
Then he stared again from the window and saw how Hanzo begin following Emilia and Yurei who were clearly worried about Yuki but were too shy to say it directly…
….
It didn't take long for Yuki to reach the Kagurazaka neighborhood 'I haven't been here before…' Thought Yuki as he walked through the bustling streets making his way to Rize's residence while enjoying the scenery along the way which reminded him…
'Recently I've been too focused on my training to complete my missions and I ended up neglecting Mashiro quite a bit, thankfully Yurei and Emilia were there, otherwise that would be really bad of me… I need to spare some time for her before the summoning' Yuki felt bad and wanted to do something for the girl that kept staring at him secretly from time to time but never asked him for anything because she saw that he seemed busy… Although she didn't know he was planning to fight a terrifying ghoul or will be summoned to another world soon…
'As for Emilia… I don't mind her living with us, but we should really find a better apartment if she wants to stay with us… I don't want to wake up to Yurei's smelly feet on my face anymore!'
After clearing his mind from all the distractions, Yuki walked all the way to Rize's residence, it was a tall building that had four apartments on each story, and Rize lived on the 8th. Yuki calmly entered and went all the way to the front of her apartment door, he even greeted many neighbors along the way as if he was just visiting a friend, although none of them appreciated the gesture...
After arriving in front of her door, he first knocked and put his ears against the door to listen if anyone was inside but he heard nothing and guessed that Rize was probably enjoying another day of hunting… But he wasn't in a rush to break in, he already waited for weeks just for this, and his revenge was going to be delivered in the most gruesome way his twisted mind could think of to maximize his rewards!
And being the scheming bastard he was, he prepared for such an outcome and simply took out a vial filled with dark red substance… It was some of Emilia's blood, something that could make any ghoul go insane with desire if they smell it including high-ranking ones like Rize! Yuki sprayed a few drops from it over the handle of the door before he left and waited happily outside the building…
It was already late in the afternoon when Yuki made his visit, and the night was fast approaching as he waited patiently some distance away from the building while thinking about all the preparations he made to torment his dear ghoul and he couldn't help but smile wickedly causing a few birds to fly away from him...
He didn't fill his heart with too much hatred for Rize since he didn't feel it was needed, nor did he feel grateful like a stupid protagonist for making her help him aim to get even stronger… No, no, no! Yuki wanted to torment her to the best of his abilities for one reason and one reason only, and that's because the quest said, there will be additional rewards if he overperforms, and he was planning to do just that and go way beyond it…
Yuki smirked slightly thinking about Rize's fate, and it was soon going to start as he saw from the distance a pink-haired woman entering the building with a confused look on her eyes while sniffing the air that was filled with a combination of a disgusting and delicious smell… both smells she clearly recognized and her eyes immediately lit up a shes kept following them until she reached the door of the room and saw the drops of blood on the handle and her eyes immediately turned ecstatic!
"Don't tell me, that woman is nearby! This time she won't escape from me!" said Rize with a twisted look on her face as she licked the blood on the handle of her door clean which further increased her desire and she slowly started losing some of her sanity and it was replaced by her primal instincts as a ghoul!
Just as she began thinking about how to track them, she suddenly caught the smell of that delicious blood outside the building and she rushed after it immediately!
After running for a while, she found herself on top of a shop near her building and she found a few more drops of the heavenly delicious blood…
….
This happened a few more times until she ended up at an abandoned warehouse with a chair in the middle of it, which brought a nostalgic look to her face that appeared to be lost in her desire!
"Come out" said Rize with an eerie smile and Yuki slowly got out from his hiding place while patting his butt from all the dust he accumulated while sitting down and said "I'm surprised this actually worked, I had other plans in case you didn't follow me but it seems like the attraction of this blood is too much for you"
Then Yuki dangled the almost empty vial of blood in front of her but to his surprise, she didn't rush at him nor did she attack him mindlessly. Instead, the insane look on her face was slowly restrained and she stared at him with a mocking look on her face
"You think I would walk into a trap that easily? Hahahaha, I remembered your disgusting smell perfectly, not to mention the delicious smell of that girl and the devil looking boy, I can even smell them from a kilometer away which is why I'm sure you are alone here, and believe me, I can kill you before any of them could come here kid" Rize's face was full of confidence at the two of them being alone…
If only she knew that Yurei was watching the show from just a few meters away from them, while Emilia and Hanzo both covered their bodies with a magical barrier making them completely undetected by her dog nose…
Yuki who clearly knew about the powers of his friends simply shrugged, but he wasn't planning to depend on them anyway, and said "You got me, I thought you would lose your sanity and I can take advantage of that… How annoying"
Of course, he was lying, but Rize didn't need to know since the better she feels right now, the more she will feel when he starts crushing her, and his friends clearly understood this!
'What a devil…' Thought Hanzo, while Yurei thought 'I should stop annoying boss in his sleep intentionally…'
Meanwhile, Emilia just watched silently ready to interfere at any moment!
"Don't worry kid, I will make sure you will die a slow death and I will extract all the information I need from you" said Rize with a sick smile before she rushed at Yuki with her incredible speed, or so it would have been f not for his power-up, Yuki smiled slightly and didn't take his swords yet and calmly waited for her to get near him…
Rize wanted to finish this quickly so she immediately used her Kagune to stab Yuki in the stomach but he calmly sidestepped it before he rushed at her prompting her to use another one of her tentacles to attack him, but Yuki's Mutsu Enmei-Ryu mastery was already kicking in as he smiled and kicked her Kagune to stop it midswing and allowed him to close the distance perfectly and he greeted her with a punch to the face that broke her glasses and sent her flying through the room before she smashed into a wall headfirst like a cartoon character with her legs dangling out...
Yuki heard many cracking sounds coming from her neck and jaw when he punched her, and felt satisfied as he muttered as Rize slowly stood up from the rubble with a shocked face while her broken face was quickly recovering...
"The first time, we had a fight, but today, it's going to be just a one sided beating"
Rize felt fear rising from her heart when she saw the wicked smile on Yuki's face… But she ended up attacking again as her pride overwhelmed her sense of fear
