Too clichè

MC POV
It had already been few hours
Right now, I was on my way home. I had no shift today because I was being replaced by my friend as payment for my work yesterday. That was why I was able to go check on Shizune-chan and spend time with her.
Ah, by the way, my shifts in work were Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, I started working at 06.00PM until 11.00PM.
While I was on my way, I glanced at the watch on my wrist and noted it was already 10 o'clock. I had already told my parents that I was at Shizune and Misaki's place and had also told them that I had no work so I would come home early.
To be honest, my parents never really supported my idea of working at young age, but after few conversations and persuading, my parents agreed so I could gain some experience at a younger age.
Today was quite fun actually, seeing how I spent much time with Shizune-chan. Though I had to say that I felt sorry for that Yuuma girl, she tried to ask me out on a date but I rejected her.
Now, now to be honest I found her attractive, but when I saw her, I got the same strange feeling I got when I was near Souna and Rias. True, the sensation seemed different but my feelings told me that she wasn't human.
To be honest, recently I had become paranoid. Not just that I kept having strange dreams, I also sometimes dreamed about a hill... I couldn't see it clearly, but it was about hills and battles... I didn't know what that was about but it was clearly giving me bad times in my sleep.
"He...p!"
!?
"He...lp!"
It was faint, but I clearly heard someone's screaming. I had sharp ears and great eyesight too, so I was sure of it. And not just that, apparently I'm quite strong for someone at my age. I never tested my limits since I didn't have time for that due to me always helping people.
Where was it?! The scream! Where was it coming from?! I sharpened my ears further and began to concentrate.
"Help!"
There!
I immediately took a posture before I kicked the ground and began to dash! Fast! I was going at full speed now and I must say I was very fast!
"HEEELP!"
The scream got louder! I was getting closer!
I increased my speed further and then I saw it! Behind a fence, a group of people wearing white robes were surrounding a small girl with blonde hair!
While running, I tried my best to find a route so I could cross over the fence and arrive there as quickly as possible. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find it! Damn! That fence... It was around 1,40 meters... It was time to make a gamble!
"OI!" I yelled to them while running and the group turned towards me "GET AWAY..." I kicked the ground and immediately soared to the sky, my feet passing over the fence as I extended one leg "FROM HER!" I shouted as I kicked one the robed persons.
"Gagh!"
I could feel the man's jaw dislocate when my kick connected with his cheeks - it was a critical hit! As the man I hit flew away and crashed into one of his friends, I landed on the ground and balanced myself.
One, two, three, four... Eight... Eight people excluding the one I just kicked.
"Who are you?!" One man growled at me.
"Who I am doesn't matter. Leave this girl alone!" I commanded as I stood in a protective manner in front of the girl behind me. I could tell the girl behind me was trembling slightly because of fear.
"Leave you alone? And who are you brat? There are eight of us! We also have weapons!" The robed men sneered while revealing their... Were those swords? Yeah, no doubt those were swords! Where the hell did they get them? This city didn't sell such weapons, there were either knives or short swords you could find, but not the type those men wielded.
Foreigners? Possibly.
"I don't care if there are dozens of you, either you leave this girl alone or you'll face the consequences." I stated sternly as I glared to them while cracking my knuckles.
They only looked at each other before dashing towards me at the same time while letting out battle cries and raising their weapons.
So be it!
I kicked the ground beneath me and also dashed. I was fast! Faster than them! Quickly, I slipped through the defenses of one of them and delivered an elbow hit to a robed man's stomach, knocking him down. I immediately pivoted my leg, twisting my body and delivered a heel kick to another one, hitting him in the stomach as well.
I ducked and dodged the slash that was aimed to my face, I pushed my leg and delivered a knee attack to his groin before grabbing his robe and throwing this robed man at the other one that was trying to ambush me.
I jumped a little and dodged the swing before delivering a spinning kick that smashed into three other robed men, sending them down to the ground.
As I landed, I noticed that a few of the ones who I had knocked down were already standing up again and readying themselves. I also noticed one of the swords had fallen down near my leg. I kicked it upwards, grabbed it and took a stance. I kicked the ground, spinning my body in the process and delivered a slash to one of the men.
The force of the ground-pushing and spinning of my body proved to be very strong as the man who blocked it was sent flying and crashed into the fence, no doubt he wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
I gripped my sword tightly before glancing at my surroundings. There were twelve of them in total and now they were already down to five. It seemed I had hit a few of them too hard. The robed men were circling me like hyenas that tried to pounce their prey, however, I could tell few of them were shaking, no doubt that they were shocked from seeing me take them down with ease.
A silence appeared around us as I observed my surroundings. My eyes were narrowed and sharpened as I stared at their legs and hands. It was time to finish this!
I stomped the ground with one leg before rotating my body again and created a burst of dust and smokes. After that I dashed, they couldn't move freely since they were too many but I was alone! I could swing my sword in the area without problem.
I smashed my sword on one man's hands and knocked his sword away before delivering a kick to his face. Then I moved to another and delivered a stabbing attack, my sword pierced something, I could feel it sink in.
Believe it or not, for some strange reason I never felt disgusted or strange during a fight. It was as if there was something inside me that had already accustomed to battle.
I kicked the man away before spinning my body and delivering a strong slash. The man clumsily tried to block it, but due his lack of vision on me he got his sword knocked away, my hand quickly extended to grab his robe before throwing him away to the last man standing and delivering a strong axe slash.
CLANG! BREAK!
His sword broke into two under my slash and my sword sliced a part of his chest as he let out a scream of pain before he dropped to the ground.
I let out small pants as I stared at my surroundings. Everyone was already down, there were no more enemies. I turned to the blonde girl who was gawking at me, no doubt that she was surprised.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I approached her and threw away my weapon so she would not afraid.
The girl blinked before she stared at me with wide eyes and she let out a squeal "Oh my God! That was so cool!" She lunged at me and gave me a hug, I let out a soft grunt when her body crashed on me. I was expecting her to be crying or things like that, but it seemed she was too amazed from my performance for that.
"Hey! Hey! Now don't say that! First, tell me, are you okay?" I asked as I pushed away and began to check her for of any wounds.
"I'm okay! Onii-chan has saved me before those big mean people got me!" She said with a grin.
"I see... Wew, I'm glad then..." I replied with a chuckle as I stared down at the smiling girl. Now that I had time to observe her more, it became clear to me that she was also a foreigner. That blonde hair was natural, not dyed, and she seemed two or one year younger than me. She was also wearing a gothic lolita fashion outfit.
It was then that I finally sensed it.
My eyes widened slightly at the girl who was smiling to me. Part of my mind once again screamed, yelled to alert me.
This girl is not a human...
My muscles' reactions must have been quite visible as I saw the girl below me noticed them as well.
"Onii-chan? What's wrong?" She asked.
"Oh? I'm okay, no need to worry about me. It's just some bad memories!" I replied with a lie. I didn't know why, but for strange reasons my body seemed very wary to this girl.
The girl continued to smile at me after hearing my response. She then glanced at the group around her. After that, she turned to me with a sad expression "Onii-chan... Can... Can I ask you a favor again?"
"Huh? Sure, what is it?" I asked. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Ah? I'm Mittelt! What about yours?" She asked with a grin.
"Hyoudou Issei..." I grunted with a smile as well. "So what do you need?"
"Oh right! I almost forgot!" She let out her tongue cutely. Then she opened her eyes and grinned to me "Onii-chan, I need you to die for me!"
Eh?
SQUEEELCH
A crimson pool of blood immediately splattered on the ground.
