Chapter 11: Jack and Cleria

"Greetings, young swordmaster"

The white haired devil bowed, not the respectful one but a necessity type.

She wore a very nobility looking frilly red dress, the length was all the way to her ankles, barely showing her heels that seems to have multiple jewelries engraved into it.

I already knew who this was.

I mean, I'm 11x smarter than a normal human, take 2 for 2, a noble, a devil, white hair, girl, aware of my sword skills.

I quickly changed my depressive demeanor, standing up from my bed and sitting on the couch nearby with my hands laying behind it.

"And to what may I honor the presence of a great Belial?"

She raised an eyebrow at my slightly sarcastic comment but didn't show any signs of disdain, weirdly enough.

Huh, I'm pretty sure that would've pissed off 100 out 100 Devils, I guess nothing is this world is truly 100% huh.

"I...I seek your help"

Oho? Seeking my help instead of either her fellow Devils or his husband's comrades?

"And why do you think I will agree?"

[Quest: Save the Juliet!]

So that's how I'll agree.

I stayed silent for about a minute, earning her curiosity. Unlike the other quests I have, this one was most probably the actual thing, reading the first route, I glanced at the girl in front of me.

She was beautiful, truly so.

But I'm cuter.

So that route was specifically unknown at the moment.

The 2nd route was– for the lack of a better word– muwryyyyyyyyyyy (Read as: Impossible)

Well, if it was me talking anyways, my feminine side? I'd rather not talk about it.

The 3rd route was basically me letting the plot be the plot it was supposed to be but with me as the generic evil villain framed for this and that so the heroes would stumble upon me and beat me type of thing. No.

4th route? Any timeline where those 2 lives is either a timeline where asspull super power exists or a fanfic. Why? Because it's plainly Impossible to let the 2 live, she's being hunted by a Lucifer ffs, a super devil, though only if my information is valid and nothing changed.

5th route is honestly my type of thing. I'm an avid fan of beat 'em up and that quest is basically begging me to do so, problem is.

"I'm too weak"

Oops, said that out loud.

I pursed my lips that were somehow grinning without me realizing and I looked at the dead Belial walking sheepishly.

"Is that the reason? I assure you that your aid will be beneficial no matter how you see yourself as! I know of your nightly endeavors and have witnessed you exterminate a stray within fractions of seconds, please I beg of you young swordmaster, please aid me, aid us!"

The desperation in her voice was apparent, she was either the best actress ever or she really DID love the exorcist dude.

Tch, why do I have a soft spot for these shit?

I sighed, a give up one, and stood up to look at the teary eyed, right angle bowing white haired branch troublesome Devil.

"Fine, I'll aid you. Just tell me what I need to do"

My words made her flinch, probably expecting a rejection but my words made her raise her head and look at me with happy sparklingly annoying teary eyes.

"T-Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Swordmaster, thank you for giving me the chance to be with my loved one, if I ever live past tomorrow, I promise you that my entire branch family will be at your debt!"

I smiled wryly, I mean that was basically explaining the How? route's rewards.

"So, kindly explain to me what exactly do you need my aid for?"

"Yes, young swor-"

"Call me Jack"

She nodded her head and coughed a bit, before returning back to her noble bearings.

"Sir Jack, I shall be blunt, we– both me and my love– are currently wanted for breaking a damned unspoken law. A cursed love between an exorcist of the church and a high class Devil from a known family, at first the church allowed it and did not bother, but a few weeks ago, the devils, real ones coming around my territory has increased and just yesterday, the church grew hostile against me, even though I was unofficially considered their ally"

This girl doesn't listen does she?

"...I asked. What. Do. You. Need. My. Aid. For"

"Patience, Sir Jack, if I don't explain these things then you might decide to foolishly believe the words of others and go against us. The aid I request of you is to protect us as we escape, with your skills I assure you that most won't even be a challenge"

I narrowed my eyes at her, this girl was clearly stupid. I'd bet that my own vice president could beat her in mathematics. Why is she taking things for granted? Why is she so confident that nothing would be a challenge?

I clicked my tongue gaining her attention, my lips opened slight but closed once more as I kept my words to myself.

She won't live past tomorrow to take heed of them either way.

"I see. I'll just assume the time limit is until tomorrow, no?"

Her face scrunched up, her lips straightening and thinning, looking out the window and to the coming moon.

"No, the time limit really is yesterday, me being here is a fluke, Masaomi found out accidentally that they were planning to hunt me so he let me hide, I assume today he is currently being questioned about my location, and even worse, he would probably let himself die than give me to the church, they'll use the excuse that he is breaking rules to kill him and then me. You were the only person I know that was unaffiliated with any sides after us and since my time was near, I decided to gamble on you... please Sir Jack. Help us"

I decided to not answer and went to my closet, opening the varnished wood with a loud creak as the smell of stock female clothes assaulted my poor cute nose.

"S-Sir Jack?"

She asked with her arms to her chest, like a girl who was told she was going to be married off to some fat bitch, hey! That's also hitting me!

Ignoring my near self decrepation thoughts, I took proper clothes.

Proper as in male clothes.

A black long sleeved turtle neck sweater, a black kevlar trench coat reaching all the way to the back of my knees, form fitting tight stretchable pants, and my all time favorite steel plated high boots.

These were my combat attire, well, the combat attire I can afford.

It's not from the shop, shut up, I'm poor with SP at the moment.

A golden ripple appeared beside me, taking a katana with a sheath, it's nothing special, just a cheap katana from real life sword shops. Sharp enough to kill and sturdy enough to last me.

I inhaled and exhaled a bit before turning around to face the Juliet asking my aid.

"Let's go"

Let's go as I get myself the 5th route.
