Chapitre 56: Welcome To The Supernatural
In the cloudy morning of Kuoh Town, at one of the many abandoned buildings scattered across the town, there is a stray devil with the appearance of a red humanoid toad with a big, protruding belly wearing tattered pants, currently swallowing the corpse of a stray dog down its bulging throat.
After finishing the meal, the stray devil let out a satisfied burp and started looking at its surroundings with its goat-like eyes warily. The stray devil relaxed after seeing nothing threatened in the abandoned building that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, with broken windows and overgrown vegetation.
The stray devil croaked out loud, and then it decided to use this building as a temporary hideout before it found an empty place near the wall to lay down and rest. Unbeknownst to the stray devil, its fate was already sealed as its location was being surrounded by a group of armed and armored people. They are invisible and are moving silently, closing in on the abandoned building.
As the devil continued to rest, it heard a sound of something slapped on the ground suddenly, and when the stray devil turned to look in the direction that the noise was coming from, it noticed a juicy piece of fresh meat on the ground near the entrance of the building.
The stray devil started to salivate uncontrollably at the smell of raw meat. It quickly crept towards the meat, its belly slouching with each step. As it drew closer without even questioning where the meat even came from, it then noticed another piece of meat lying nearby on the ground, three meters away from the first one.
"MaEt~! MEaT~!"
The devil's eyes widened before it sang in delight at another free meal and did not even doubt the obviously suspicious situation, clearly too far gone from the Evil Piece mutations that its intelligence was regressed to that of a toddler.
The stray devil quickly grabbed and swallowed the first piece of meat before lunging at the second one to gobble it down in a frenzy.
The stray devil is now being lured outside of the building without any obstacle to hide itself, making it a prime target for the Geborgs, who are aiming their Lasguns at the foolish toad.
"All units shoot!"
An androgynous voice rang through the comlinks of the Geborgs, and seconds later, four beams of light suddenly hit the stray devil's arms and legs from four directions, which caused them to explode like a water balloon as blood splashed on the ground and on the stray devil.
"Gyaaahhhh?!"
The stray devil screamed in agony at the sudden loss of limbs as it flopped pathetically on the ground. No blood gushed from its burned stumps where its arms and legs once were; the wounds were, fortunately, already cauterized. Well, that hardly stops the pain it feels, though.
"Arghhhh! Gaaaahh!!"
The devil couldn't help but thrash wildly, trying to find some sense of balance as its body struggled to adjust to the new, crippled state.
The five Geborgs that were hiding in the invisible mode around the abandoned building confirmed that their target was sufficiently disabled, quickly closing in on the wounded stray devil from all sides and surrounding it completely as they deactivated the invisible mode.
The stray devil was shocked and afraid as its eye balls rolled around anxiously to take in the sight of the futuristic armored soldiers who suddenly came out of nowhere with strange guns that they were pointing at the stray devil.
The leader of the five-man team then reports in through the comlink to Ezrah, who was watching over them from the sky with Zestia next to her.
"This is the team leader, GU-13. Target is down and immobilized. Request further instruction."
"Good work, men. Now execute the target and bring its head back to base."
Then an order comes from Ezrah through the comlink, and the team leader replies indifferently to the fate of the stray devil.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Ezrah nodded with satisfaction at the Geborgs performance, and then she turned to look at Zestia, who was also nodding her head in approval. The two of them are currently standing on a Touki platform in mid-air, as they have been tasked with watching over the Geborgs on their first mission by Zeno.
The two of them are dressed in new armor that is based on the Geborg's armor and its capabilities, which Zeno redesigned for them. The new armor looks more medieval in aesthetic, with white capes and armor pieces. The helmet is also different from Geborgs, with the two red glowing lights that mimic the movement of the wearer's eyes displayed under the dark visor causing an intimidating factor.
On the ground, the stray devil continued to struggle to escape, its eyes filled with agony and despair. It tried to crawl away from the surrounding Geborgs, but its broken body could only move in a slow, pathetic manner. The five-man team, their weapons still trained on the crippled stray devil, exchange glances before one of them steps forward.
The Geborg swapped their lasgun for the lightsaber as they activated the red energy sword from the handle. With the distinctive sound of the energy sword activating, the red light illuminated the Geborg, who wield the lightsaber ominously.
"MeaT...?"
The stray devil croaked out with fear before the red sword swung down on its neck and decapitated it smoothly with no resist, and the stray devil was dead without being able to do anything.
After that, the Geborgs frozen the head of the stray devil into an ice cube and put it in an icebox that they prepared to transport the proof of extermination to the town governor later, and for the remains of the stray devil, they were burned to ashes because the stray devils are too weak and have no interesting ability for Zeno to devour.
Then the five-man team of Geborgs and the two girls in the air teleported back to the underground base with the icebox, leaving no trace of their presence behind.

In the evening, in front of the cinema, Zeno in a black jacket over a red shirt and black jeans with black boots walked out hand in hand with Himiko, who dressed in a light blue sundress under a brown coat with white thigh high stockings and high heels after they just finished watching a comedy movie in the cinema. Himiko giggled with amusement as she talked about the movie protagonist having a fist fight with a 10-year-old girl. It was quite an amusing scene in the movie.
"That guy is so lame, he even had to call for his friend to back him up in the middle of the fight with a little girl."
Himiko said as she swung Zeno's hand back and forth with her while they were walking on the sidewalk. Zeno has a small smile on his lips as he listens to her. The date was enjoyable for both of them, but obviously, Himiko was the one who enjoyed herself the most.
"Well, I think he should've just given up after the first punch. He didn't stand a chance against her anyway."
Zeno added with a chuckle, leaning in closer to Himiko to gently brush a stray lock of hair from her cheek.
"But enough about movies; how about we get something to eat?"
He suggested it with a smile as his blue eyes met her brown ones. Himiko blushed, her heart racing a bit. She then nodded her head in agreement as she leaned her head on his bicep and hugged his muscular arm.
"Yes, let's have a dinner."
She whispered, her cheeks reddening as she buried Zeno's arm in hers between her large breasts. Zeno glanced at Himiko with a small smirk as he enjoyed her warmth and softness.
The two of them continued to walk hand in hand down the bustling street, like a normal, lovely couple on a date, despite not even becoming official lovers yet but Himiko couldn't be bothered about that, as she currently feels a sense of contentment and happiness when she is with Zeno.
The air was cool, but not uncomfortable, and the neon signs of the shops and restaurants cast a warm glow on their faces. They passed by a cozy-looking Italian restaurant, its red and white awnings fluttering in the gentle breeze.
"How about we try that place?"
Zeno suggested, gesturing towards the restaurant with his head. Himiko's stomach gave a cute growl at the thought of food.
"A-Ahaha~! That sounds good."
She replied, a bit embarrassed, as a pink hue spread across her face. They walked inside the restaurant as the aroma of tomato sauce, garlic, and basil greeted them. The waiter, a middle-aged man with a kind face, greeted them and led them to a cozy booth in the back.
As they sat down, Zeno pulled out Himiko's chair and helped her get comfortable before he sat across from her.
The waiter came by, dropping off menus and taking their drink orders. The two of them ordered pasta dishes and a bottle of red wine. As they waited for their food, Zeno reached across the table and took Himiko's hand in his, their fingers intertwining. She smiled with a blush as she looked at him, wondering if she should invite him into her room tonight.
"You know, I've been meaning to tell you something for a while now."
Zeno said it with a serious expression, which caused Himiko to look at him as she tilted her head in curiosity and wonder what he wanted to tell her with such an expression.
"What is it, Zavior-san?"
"Let's talk after we finish dinner."
She asked, but Zeno decided to tell later, leaving Himiko very curious.

At the park in Kuoh Town, Zeno brings Himiko here after dinner as they sit down on the bench in the place with no people around to bother them.
Zeno turned to look at the nervous and curious Himiko beside him as he breathed in the cool air of the evening and exhaled out the air, trying to expel the little hesitation he had about what he would do next.
"Well, there is no good way to say it, but there is something you should know about before we can take our relationship even further."
Zeno paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts, before continuing while Himiko paid attention to him intently for some reason. He doesn't know that she is wondering if he has a weird fetish and wants to confess to her.
"You see, Himiko-chan, in our world, the supernatural exists along with the mundane. They are hidden in plain sight, and most people are ignorant of their existence."
"Eh?"
After hearing Zeno's words, Himiko's expression turned into a mixture of confusion and surprise at the unexpected direction the conversation was heading. She tilted her head as she tried to comprehend what he just told her.
"Well, let's show you."
Zeno said with a chuckle as he saw her confused expression before stretching out his hand towards her. Before Himiko could ask him if he was joking around, a small purple magic circle suddenly materialized on Zeno's palm, stunting her silence with her jaw dropping. Zeno then gently placed his hand and magic circle over her chest, causing her to let out a surprised gasp as her bra suddenly disappeared underneath her sundress.
"There, the proof."
Zeno said with a smirk, admiring the bra-less Himiko, especially the outlines of her nipples. He then continues to explain.
"It's not a trick, I assure you. In our world, there are people like me who have the power to use magic spells. Magic users, commonly known as magicians, as they are called."
Zeno explained, watching Himiko's reaction carefully. Her eyes were wide with shock and disbelief, but she didn't seem afraid. That was a good sign. He continued,
"They are not the only supernatural beings either. There are other supernatural beings that exist as well, such as vampires, angels, fallen angels, and the devil."
Zeno continued to talk about the other supernatural beings, explaining that they had their own strengths and weaknesses and that they sometimes lived among humans without revealing their true nature. He told her about the supernatural world's politics and hierarchies, as well as the various conflicts that had arisen between the different factions over the years.
Himiko listened intently, her expression slowly shifting from shock to curiosity and even excitement, while her inner Otaku cried out in ecstasy. She asked Zeno many questions about the supernatural world, and he answered her patiently, taking the time to explain everything in detail. As she listened, she began to understand that this world was actually scary and, at the same time, fascinating.
