*************

As Yuki was having fun arguing with Chihiro while enjoying the rest of his food, he was surprised when he found himself getting interrupted by a trio whose outwards appearance spelled trouble in capital letters…

'What the hell, who summoned this bunch of idiots from the past?' was the only thing Yuki could think of as he stared at the three idiots that appeared to be part of some sort of 1990 Japanese gang with their bodies covered in tattoos and huge bulging muscles that screamed PEDs and they made sure to show them off by wearing only tank tops and they even had a matching tattoo of a dragon with three claws…

'There goes my peace…' Yuki let out a lamenting sigh as he looked at the idiot that decided to approach him among the three with a puzzled look on his face completely ignoring the intimidation aura they wanted to portray… After all, that was his job! 'Aren't I in Japan? where in the hell did these three idiots pop out from?... Oh, wait this is not the same world I came from so anything is possible... Hopefully, these three are as dumb as they look and won't suddenly transform into demons or something or I will be screwed…'

However, while Yuki was contemplating whether those three were a real danger to his life like his neighbors and his landlord and the little blond beside him… Although for different reasons… a quest suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and for some reason, he started having a bad feeling before even reading its details… After all, the system was anything but hopeful so far and seemed to be holding a grudge against him for some reason that was clearly indicated by its horrible punishments and quest descriptions…

[Quest: Bully the bullies]

[Quest Description: These three shit heads are famous bullies around the Sasazuka district and they became jealous when they saw your ugly appearance sitting with two beautiful girls so their muscle brains moved them into action against you]

[Quest Task: Beat all three of them before they beat you up]

[Quest Reward: +0.5 to strength and an additional reward if the user over performs]

[Quest punishment: If the quest fails, Host will immediately fail his previous quest]

[Note: What can you do about it?]

Yuki's naturally pale face suddenly turned much paler as he read the task and punishment of this quest 'You evil system, you actually dare to scheme against me like this? What kind of system does this to its host!! You are supposed to help me! and what did I do to you to want me to die a virgin so badly?' Yuki screamed in his head at the massive unfairness he was suffering but it was to no avail as he received no response from the system and the punishment was still the same, meaning if he fails this quest he will also fail the quest he got from Mashiro and then the fate of his little friend would be sealed forever...

'No, we will stand for this unfairness together my little friend!' Yelled Yuki inside his head with determination and left with no choice, he continued reading the rest of the panel, and his eyes couldn't help but constrict when he read the note and the obvious taunt in it…

Meanwhile, as he was frozen from the shock this quest gave him, the bullies and Chihiro thought that he was afraid of these three bullies that's why he was acting like that.

So, as the adult here and not to mention that she didn't take too kindly to this idiot who was trying to flirt with her in front of her own cousin. Chihiro decided to take matters into her own hands.

But, she also noticed that they were clearly troublesome individuals. After all, in Japan, Tattoos are considered a very bad thing, that's why you will mostly find them in bad characters in society, most commonly gang members…

"Please leave us alone, what we talk about is none of your business" Said Chihiro putting her serious teacher expression on and trying to hide the slight fear she was feeling.

"Hahahaha You see guys, he actually lets a girl speak up for him" said one of the three idiots

"HAHAHAHA, that's right, ohh kid, do you also let them ride you in bed hahahahaa" these idiots kept spouting all kinds of bullshit, and Chihiro couldn't take it anymore when she saw how rude they were getting and Yuki's face that kept getting paler as the expression of shock didn't fade away from it and was eventually hidden all together when he lowered his head and allowed for his long hair to cover it.

So, she ended up thinking in disappointment 'Tch what a useless boy, only scary in appearance' before she stood up and lashed out at them

"Get the fuck away from us or I will call the police!"

Mashiro was looking at all of this curiously at first, but seeing that the situation was escalating very quickly she started getting scared and ended up looking at the weird guy she's been finding interesting all this time with an imploring look as she dropped her ice cream and grabbed his hand.

But when she got closer to his face, the fear she was expecting to see on his face that was covered with his long white hair wasn't there, instead, the look she saw made her feel a deep chill… For the first time, the eyes of the ghost-looking kid started shining with an evil light, fitting of his appearance…

Meanwhile, back at the MgRonald's restaurant, Maou was having a normal day as he worked hard as usual, both as a receptionist or a cook when needed until they received a big order that was picked up by Chiho.

"Yes, Your order will be there in 20 minutes" Said Chiho before she hung up the phone and seemed very excited and Maou noticing this curiously asked her "What's wrong Chiho-chan, you seem very excited"

Startled by Maou's sudden voice, Chiho finally came out of whatever dream she was having and quickly passed the order to be prepared before she approached Maou with an embarrassed look on her face and said "Maou-san, we received a huge delivery for a party in the Sasazuka park, c-c-can you come with me to deliver it?"

Maou didn't share the same enthusiasm this girl had but he still smiled at her warmly and said "That's great, I'm free to go" seemingly oblivious to the fact that Chiho, the girl that approached him asked him out of all the other workers to go with her to deliver this food to the park to enjoy some time with him there as a date…

Chiho became excited as they quickly prepared the food and miraculously, she suddenly forgot all about her clumsiness and didn't cause any mess while preparing this huge order…

However, her excitement and hopes were soon mercilessly crushed by Maou's next statement "What a big order, with this maybe I will be promoted even faster hehehehe"

"That's right, promoted hehe" replied Chiho with an ugly smile while on the inside she couldn't help but sadly think 'What was I expecting...'

After the food that was enough for 8 people was ready to go, they picked it up and started walking to the Sasazuka park which is also coincidently where Maou chose to enjoy his meal…

Chiho soon regained her excitement as she walked there with Maou and felt like she was flying high on the clouds right now as her love for him made her turn a blind eye to his stupidness and after reaching the park, they couldn't help but stop and admire the breathtaking sight of the cherry blossoms and the flowers.

"Maou-san, h-how about we deliver the food and take a quick break here before we go back to work"

Chiho's face was red in embarrassment as she mustered all the courage she could to say those words which were the same as asking someone for a date directly

But Maou with his same clueless face simply said "This park is really as good as I heard It would be, ok it would be a waste not to enjoy this opportunity a little, let's take a little break here after we deliver the food but we can't stay too long as we still have work to do and the manager might get mad at us"

Maou was working hard since the time he came to this world so he never really had the luxury to enjoy his time doing some sightseeing or enjoying the other entertainments this world has to offer and he found the scenery of this park to his liking so he decided to enjoy his time here a little and think about how to conquer this beautiful world in the future after he gets promoted…

'Great' Chiho clenched her fists in delight, almost forgetting that she was holding two bags full of food… So, they didn't waste any time and started following the directions they were given on the phone when the order was made to find where the party was held…

When they arrived there, they were surprised when they found out that the party was made by a group of classmates that were graduating from high school and wanted to have a party to commemorate their days together before they separate and each move on with their lives…and they quickly started cheering when they saw that the food had arrived.

When they were done with delivering the food, Chiho finally found herself faced with the reality that she was alone with Maou in a place that was filled with couples who were snuggling or families with their little kids playing around and started imagining herself with Maou...

Maou calmly said "Where should we go now?" Which made Chiho slightly panic thinking that her thoughts were exposed so her brain started working at light speed to find something to say and calm herself down and said "I saw an ice cream stand here in the park when we were on our way to deliver the food, let's go buy some and find a place to sit down and enjoy the scenery"

Maou found it a good Idea so he nodded to her in agreement and they both started walking to the ice cream stand which was coincidentally the same one Chihiro purchased from when Mashiro was waiting for her…

As they were getting closer to the ice cream stand, Maou started to notice that the people in this area seemed to be acting weird as they covered their mouths and kept whispering to each other and discussing some creepy guy in the park kicking a couple out of their seat which made a thought pass through Maou's head 'This guy must be really creepy to make all these people hate him'

But he didn't bother himself too much with this as it was none of his business... That's until he suddenly felt a tug on his shirt and when he glanced down. He saw Chiho leaning closer to him and pointing at a certain bench where a creepy-looking white-haired boy was sitting with a beautiful blonde girl that was eating her ice cream while looking at him curiously while he was arguing with a brown-haired woman...

"Maou-san, is that a g-g-g-ghost?"

Maou suddenly understood the reason why the people around this area were acting weirdly and discussing a creepy looking guy here in the park and seeing that Chiho was going to make the same mistake he made yesterday and consider Yuki a ghost... he decided to tell her that that creepy kid's his new neighbor he was telling her about at work…

"Oh, that guy's-" but suddenly his red eyes started shining with an ominous light as he saw some bad people approaching Yuki and started arguing with the woman that was with him while he seemed to be acting weird as he simply lowered his head seemingly out of fear, but Maou could sense something ominous about him…
