Chapter 30: Chapter 30 : Meeting Yukinoshita Yukino ll
"I ate ...," Akira hummed happily after finishing his meal, though he wasn't fully satisfied, it was a satisfying meal.
"In the literal sense," Yukino couldn't help but murmur quietly, while Akira managed to finish three large bento boxes, she struggled with just a small vegetable bento.
"Where is your home, Yukino-senpai? I'll take you," Akira said, the area was dangerous, with something roaming and killing humans, though Akira didn't know what it was despite living there.
After thinking a bit, Akira deduced that this thing must have come to the neighborhood after he moved to Sakura-sou.
"I'll feel sorry for making you do this, you should also return, so I'll go back alone," Yukino said, despite her fear of murder incidents in the area, she didn't want to cause trouble for Akira.
"Don't worry, I have an apartment in this neighborhood, and I also want to visit someone here to check on them, so it won't be a problem," Akira reassured with a smile, genuinely thinking of visiting an acquaintance nearby.
"And if you live near the XXXX residential complex, I don't think you need to hesitate, as I'm heading there," Akira said, not pressuring Yukino if she didn't really want him to accompany her.
"Ah... I also live in the XXXX residential complex," Yukino said, somewhat surprised, unaware she and Akira lived in the same residential complex.
"Good then, let's go together," Akira nodded and began walking ahead of Yukino, using his senses to monitor the strange presence lurking in a nearby alley.
Akira and Yukino walked silently, having no particular topic to discuss. Frankly, anyone who knew their previous conversation would be surprised, especially since Yukino wasn't good at talking to others.
Noise*
Noise*
Noise*
"Did you hear that strange sound?" Yukino asked, stopping near a dark alley where a strange noise emanated from.
"I heard it, but I advise against going in," Akira said seriously, staring at Yukino, "I guarantee you won't be able to live normally if you see what's happening."
Despite Akira's stern warning, he didn't intend to stop Yukino if she tried to see what was happening; it was her choice.
"...," Upon hearing Akira's words, Yukino could only hesitate, clearly understanding that whatever was happening inside the alley was not pleasant.
Unfortunately, the ancients were not wrong when they said curiosity killed the cat, and this applied to Yukino, who couldn't control her curiosity and stood in front of the alley to witness the most horrifying sight of her life.
"..." Before Yukino stood a dead person, with blood and body parts scattered, and another figure with a head that was just a mouth, devouring the corpse.
Vomiting*
Yukino couldn't control herself and began vomiting by the roadside, as this was her first time seeing something so disgusting.
At that moment, Yukino regretted not listening to Akira, although this regret quickly faded as terror and fear took over upon seeing the grotesque creature staring at them.
"Humans..." the disgusting creature said in a raspy voice filled with ecstasy, as if it couldn't wait to pounce on the two before it.
"It would be annoying to scream for help from other humans, so I'll kill you quickly," muttered the disgusting creature, quickly transforming its head into sharp-ended sensors like knives, slashing dozens of times towards Akira and Yukino.
"Interesting," Akira murmured, smiling lightly but with clear disgust in his eyes as he swiftly drew a random sword from the Gate of Babylon, cutting all the sensors attempting to cut him, "I didn't expect to see a rare insect like Parasites in this world."
"Dangerous..." the parasite could only mumble in fear upon seeing how easily all its sensors were cut by the golden man before him, "I must tell everyone about this..."
"It's impossible since you're already dead," Akira smiled lightly and returned the sword to the Gate of Babylon.
After the golden ripple disappeared, the parasite's body quickly disintegrated into thousands of pieces, as Akira effortlessly cut it countless times in the blink of an eye.
"Dangerous..." the parasite thought before its consciousness was drawn into eternal darkness.
"Are you okay, Yukino-senpai?" Akira asked, meeting Yukino's pale eyes staring at him with an unhidden question.
"Well, it seems you won't let me go back unless I tell you everything," Akira sighed, seeing the look in Yukino's eyes, "I'll tell you everything, but let's change the location first."
After their conversation, Akira helped Yukino walk, and they went to talk in the nearby garden, which was better than talking next to the corpses.
