Chapter 1 - Half Saint Arc

After the officer went outside and tell them about the complete report, the three was ready to leave.

"Alright so where do we go now?" Alex asked.

"How about asking her first?" I replied, pointing at Roxanne using my thumb.

"Maybe i could stay with your house for one night, i-i promise I'll go home after sleeping." She said looking at me with pleading eyes.

"You'll have to becareful with her alright?" Said Alex, teasing me.

"Shut up." I replied, coldly.

"Come on I'm just teasin ya." Said Alex, playfully hitting my shoulder with his elbow.

"Well we need to get going now." I checked the time. "It's almost 7:20."

Alex quickly took the his car key in his pocket and spins it with his finger.

"Well let's go now."

Minutes of driving we've finally arrived at my apartment. "Well I'll see ya tommorow alright?" Said Alex before finally driving away.

the two of us walked to the stairs up to the second floor, we turned right until we reached a door that has a number "10" which is my apartment.

I opened the door and switched the lights, the room has never been so messy and dirty since I'm the one who lives here.

"We can sleep at my room and I'll be sleeping at the floor i have my extra cushion inside the closet ther-"

"N-no, i can sleep on the floor it's really comfy for me." She demands, nicely with a warm smile as she looks down.

"A-are you sure? Well it's up to you then." I replied with a warm smile but my eyes looks a little dead because of the big dark eyebags.

"I have two leftover chicken on the table I'm gonna heat it up, sit down on the couch right there while i heat it up."

She replied with a nod it seems that she is shy, she sat down on the couch shyly with her legs tucked together and her hands on top of it, locked.

While she is sitting i took the chickens on the table and went to the kitchen to heat it up.

"Chickens for dinner? Without gravy and fried rice is dull, i should heat this up later and make the gravy and the fried rice." I muttered.

While I'm at it, i sliced some garlics feeling like a professional chef in a five star restaurant when I'm about to grab the sausages, i looked outside the window and saw a blonde man in a white priest suit staring directly at me.

I glanced at it and squinted my eye because i can't quitely see his face because of the shadows covering his face.

"Maybe he is waiting for something." I muttered.

I continued grabbing the sausages and sliced it, i felt a mixture of fear and curiosity so i tried to glance at the man again.

When I'm already looking at the window, he was already gone.

"What's that guy up to?"

After finishing cooking and heating up the chicken, i took everything i made and placed it on the table, when i turned to Roxanne she was already asleep.

But i won't make my masterpiece turned into a waste so i gently woke her up, her eyes slowly opened.

"Hey it's time to eat." I said.

She sniffs the air. "That smells good".

"Yep, you don't want me to eat it all okay? So eat now before we sleep."

The two of us started eating, the whole place is very quiet only punctuated by the sound of our mouth munching on the food.

After finishing the food. "I think i should do the dishes."

"No uh i can literally do it-" i paused when i suddenly realized it's too much work to do.

"Well it's up to you." I said.

After this chitchat she was already doing the dishes so i went to my bedroom and prepared the cushion, pillow and the blanket for her comfortable beauty sleep.

"Huh? Oh right i forgot to review that stupid programming language, but i can do it tommorow." I muttered and jumped on my bed.

"I'm too lazy to do it." I sighed.

"I'm done." Said Roxanne as she opens the door.

"Well then let's go to sleep."

"Y-you're not going to take a shower?" She asked.

"Nahhh, I'm too lazy."

"Okay." She replied.

She switched off the lights and closed the door then lied down comfortably on the bed she put his blanket on top of her, it felt like a giant soft teddy bear hugging her.

Without doing anything i closed my eyes and slept comfortably with my tracksuit on.

Hours later i woke up from a loud knocking on the entrance door. "Who would knock at this late hour." I muttered as i rub my eye.

I opened my phone and it was already 2:30 in the morning and saw a notification from Alex saying "Hey bro I know it's late but I'mma come at your place, i brought two root beers you root beer obsessed fucker🖕." And it was sent last 5 minutes ago.

How did he come to my place that fast? Oh maybe he already texted me when he was at the convenience store next block.

I went outside my living room and switched on the lights, i walked towards the entrance door and slowly opened it.

I've catched a glimpse of a blonde hair and white suit at the gap of the door as i open it.

When it finally opened it was a blonde man in a priest suit, smugging while looking at me.

"Uhmm...how can i help you?" I asked.

"Good morning sorry to interrupt your beauty sleep but i've came here to ask you something." He said, his smugging remained.

"Yeah?"

"Have you seen this lady somewhere?"

He showed me a picture of a familiar girl, but when i suddenly realized the girl in the picture that he is showing to me right now was Roxanne.

I have to think twice wether this guy is one of her relatives or maybe the maniac she said last night at the convenience store.

"I never seen her somewhere, you should report it to the police station near the eleven-seven 24/7 convenience store.

"I see, thank you for your time sir...but for that let me give you a reward for giving me such informations and tips."

"Hmm?"

He kicked me in the stomach really hard, it made me forcefully fell down on my knees.

"Gah!"

I was touching my stomach due to the immense pain, he placed his foot on my head and rubbing my head with it.

"I know she's somewhere with you! Go tell me where she is and you'll have a good ending right here!"

"I won't tell you where she is." I murmured.

"Huh?"

"Didn't you hear me? I said-!" I clenched my fist. "Go fuck yourself maniac!" I punched him in the face that made him stepped back.

"Gahh!"

I quickly slammed the door infront of him, shutting it and locking it at the same time.

What's that guy up to?! I gotta go tell Roxanne!

When suddenly a blade was pierced inside the door. W-whaa-!!? That guy has a weapon!.

"Oh in the name of the heavenly father above! Don't you dare look down on me!"

He yelled.

With his final slash, his blade fierced on the lock breaking it, the door was sent flying to the wall infront of me after he kicks it.

"Ehhh!?"

"How's my kick? I'll pay for your door just tell me where she is-"

Roxanne went outside the room. "Hey what's going on-"

After the blonde man saw her, he smiled menacingly, his smile was so wide it almost reached his ears with his pupils shrinking.

After Roxanne saw him, she felt a mixture of fear and hopelessness because she has nowhere to go since the blonde guy she so called maniac was blocking the door.

Roxanne started shaking and made a few step back.

Without thinking twice the blonde man charged towards her ready to pierce her with his katana.

But i was fast i blocked his sword with my body, the sword pierced into my chest penetrating it with the tip of the sword sticking out behind my back.

My eyes shakes feeling the sense of dread and the fear of death. I spat blood onto his white suit drenching his white suit with the color of red.

Roxanne felt the true fear of death after witnessing a man who helped him, dies.

After the blonde man takes his sword out of my chest, i fell down to my knees and laid down on the floor, unconscious with my blood spreading all around the floor.

"Too bad for him, there's no way for him to pay the door for his apartment including his rent."

The blonde man quickly sliced Roxanne on her throat. "Blarghh!" The slice made her desperately catch for air.

When she fell down on the ground, dead.

"Well that was tragic is it? You're dead and you got no way to pay for your door and rent."

"Hey Aaron! What happened to your door!?"

After the blonde man heard someone outside he quickly vanished in the air before the person outside enters the room.

"Bro don't tell me you'll ask me for money to pay for your doo-"

He dropped his plastic bag that is filled with drinks.

"Roxanne? A-AAROONN!!"
