Bab 154: Ch. 148 - It's the Government's fault!
"This is the fault of the Government! They should've watched over the animals in the zoo! As a matter of fact, animals should be in the wild, not zoos!" An activist shouted on the street while holding a banner. Behind her are several people who are her colleagues, each also holding separate banners.
This activity has caused a great disturbance on the road as vehicles and people alike are aggressively honking their horns and yelling at the activists.
The police were already called and are on their way right now. It's only a matter of when they would arrive to stop the activists.
Inside a cafe, Jin was watching the commotion with keen interest in his eyes. He didn't expect for things to go like this just because of 'kidnapping' Harambe. While this is out of his expectations, this also confirmed some things to Jin.
First is that the Government still has several anti government organizations going against it. How did he know? Simply by reading the mind of the protesters that are protesting in the streets. This protest wasn't only because of Harambe's kidnapping but to gather attention to themselves, for their cause of overthrowing the government.
Lastly but not the least, despite being a good President by conquering several countries that are near the American soil, there are still some people who suspect that something is weird and wrong on their president.
'Hmm, should I meet this guy already? I feel like he would at least give entertainment to my dull life.' Jin tapped his chin a few times before something weird or familiar suddenly caught his eye.
A person wearing a hood that covers his entire body suddenly appeared in his vision and walked along the streets. At first, Jin would just ignore this weird person who he assumed is the infamous emo, however when he saw how people around the person just ignored him, that's when Jin got curious and couldn't help but peek under the dim hood to see who it is using a chi technique.
What he saw inside not only shocked him but his face couldn't help but curve into a large smile.
He wasn't 'her' to be here.
***
While Jin found out the identity of the hooded person, Mavis was using her powers to make the people around to ignore her while hiding under a long hood that she found on a structure called Target. She doesn't know why it is called that and she simply thinks it's idiotic to put a target on a structure.
What if someone shoots on the target?
Just as Mavis shook her head to get rid of such thought, she failed to notice that a certain someone had started following her.
She doesn't notice it yet as her mind was occupied with the thoughts of meeting her first humans, a real human at that. Unlike the 'humans' that she first encountered that looks weird and moves in a very disgusting way.
Mavis even doubts if what she met that day was truly humans. But since it was her father who told her about it, there's no way he would lie to her about such a thing right? Her father knows how much she likes to meet humans.
When she first met a human recently, she suddenly felt her heart throbbing. She's seeing a real human! Unfortunately, the human that she encountered yelled at her face about looking pale and calling her an 'emo'.
Although Mavis doesn't know what it means, all she knows is that the human is insulting her.
'Take a deep breath, Mavis. Jin said that there is also goodness in humans. I just got unlucky this time.' Mavis inhaled and exhaled before assuring herself.
Unknown to her, someone was following her tracks and she failed to notice it due to being occupied in her thoughts.
Before she knew it, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and forcefully turned her around before feeling somebody's lips pressing against hers!
'No!'
Just as she wanted to resist, Mavis opened her eyes and finally managed to clearly see who dared to take her first kiss!
However, her eyes widened in both surprise and excitement as she finally saw the person who stole her first kiss!
"Jin!" Seeing that it was Jin, Mavis quickly leaped forward and attached herself on Jin's body like a koala before taking back his lips with hers.
Jin was surprised by this reaction. At first, he was only intending to surprise her with a kiss while at the same time, assessing what her reaction would be if he made the first move. Normally, his expectation of what would happen next is either Mavis would snarl and fight back or recognize him and shy away in embarrassment, according to what he observed about her personality.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Jin quickly pushed Mavis away from him. As much as he wants to enjoy her small but cute tongue, they're in the public and the moment Jin distracted Mavis by surprising her with a kiss, the mind power that she placed on herself to be ignored by the humans was broken and now they're looking at them with either disgust or jealousy.
Jin could understand the jealousy, however he was confused about the disgust. Are they looking down on him or at Mavis? Both of them are good looking, right?
Unknown to Jin, this year is the era where emo is slowly being forgotten and abandoned by teens and such.
So in their eyes, Mavis is a gothic emo albeit a beautiful one.
But would Jin care about that even if he knows? Hell no, obviously. Why would a tiger care about the opinion of an ant. Unless that Ant is as big as a mountain.
"Let's continue this somewhere else." Jin whispered to Mavis after seeing the confusion and pain in her eyes. She probably thought that Jin didn't like what she just did.
"I-I'm sorry." Mavis gulped her saliva in fear and quickly apologized to Jin before it was too late.
"Huh? What are you apologizing for?" Jin raised his eyebrow in confusion and asked Mavis.
This response from Jin also made Mavis halt her tears and got confused.
And just like that, the two of them just got confused with each other.
***
"Oh..." Mavis finally had a look of realization dawning over her face.
After Jin brought Mavis back to his hotel room, he quickly asked her why she was apologizing and after having a short conversation where they cleared their confusions, Mavis finally sighed in relief.
Relieved that Jin wasn't mad at her for what she did.
"What are you doing here? No scratch that, how did you find me?" Jin shook his head and asked another question.
"I followed your scent!" After Mavis answered, her head was then raised high as if she was expecting some kind of praise coming from Jin.
Unfortunately for her, Jin just deadpanned stared at her before sighing.
"Look, I don't think you're safe here, you should probably go back to the hotel." Jin's head shook and he strictly said to Mavis.
"B-but why? But you said that not all humans are bad right? They're just like us, there's good and bad. That's why I'm here!" Mavis replied with resolution in her eyes.
"Although that's not a good enough reason but since you're already here, what else can I do?" Jin rubbed his temples and said with defeat in his tone. He might as well use this chance to develop their relationship to another level.
He already has Dracula and Martha's recognition, what else can be the reason for him to hesitate to take a step forward in their relationship?
Tigress and his women? Well,they kind of agreed to him having several other women as long as they were informed about the new woman.
"Yes!" Mavis made a victory expression mixed with delight. Showing how excited she is.
"So, what's our mission? We're infiltrating, right?" Mavis tapped her toes on the ground in excitement. Clearly wanting to have something to do.
"Mission? I'm not here on a mission. I'm actually just here to have fun and relax and since you're already here, you might as well join me in my next destination." Jin patted Mavis's shoulder while showing an apologetic expression.
"So no mission?" Mavis asked for confirmation and after getting Jin's nod, she continued.
"How are we supposed to relax then? The humans are going on a war with us, right? Shouldn't we like, do something to prevent it at all costs?" Mavis pouted.
"It is but a mere insignificant war, my little bat." Jin couldn't resist the urge and his hand moved on its own as it found itself on top of Mavis's head, patting it like she was a child.
"Urrgh, you remind me of dad. He's always messing up my hair like that when I was a child." Although Mavis was complaining, there is an inexplicable smile on her face. Showing her love for her father.
"It's not messing with the hair, Mavy. It's called patting." Jin explained.
"What's patting?"
"It's what I did just now. That's called patting."
"Really? Why do you even want to pat my head. Shouldn't you only do that to your baby?" Mavis said in confusion, she has read several old literatures made by humans and she knows that such an act should only be done to babies.
"That's right, 'MY' baby." Jin said with a teasing smile on his face.
Mavis, who was late to realize, finally realized what Jin meant by his words and she quickly blushed, so she immediately changed the subject.
"A-anyways, what is it you said about relaxing? H-how are we gonna relax?" Mavis looked anywhere but Jin's eyes as she spoke.
Although Jin wanted to tease her more but decided against it.
"Have you ever tried playing video games?" Jin said with a smirk on his face.
"Videyo gems?" Mavis tilted her head and mispronounced the word.
"It's video gam- nevermind, I'll teach it to you later, anyways. Are you interested?"

Bab 155: Ch. 149 - Games!
Inside a bright arcade store full of neon lights and such, Jin and Mavis walked inside. Since it's currently nighttime. There's no need for Mavis to hide herself under her long hood. So everyone was welcome to see her pale beauty from close.
"W-what is this place? My eyes hurt!" Mavis quickly covered her eyes as despite being only a fluorescent light made by humans, her eyes are still sensitive to anything very bright. Which is the reason why mostly candles are being used on the castle as vampires and some monsters are sensitive to bright light.
Even Dracula himself is no exception to this. Though his resistance to bright lights are obviously much stronger than Mavis's.
"Just squint your eyes and it'll slowly adapt." Jin reminded her.
Mavis did as he told her and squinted her eyes.
Seeing her do that, Jin smiled and grabbed her hand before leading her to the arcade machines. All in the meantime, parents and children alike are staring in their direction. Old people were shaking their heads while muttering the word 'youth'.
Meanwhile, the children were looking at their prize toy and Mavis back and forth before huffing and stomping their way away from Mavis and Jin.
They clearly discovered that there's something much better than their toys.
Feeling smug, Jin removed his hand from Mavis's and before she got confused, he suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pulled her close to him, their bodies sticking to each other.
'W-were so close to each other.' Mavis madly blushed as she could feel the warmth of Jin's body.
The first thing that they tried is the basketball hoop machine, since they're here to have fun. Jin would obviously avoid the obvious rigged arcade machines such as the crane machines.
"Here. You just throw this ball inside that hoop and we'll gain a score, you get it?" After giving Mavis instructions and teaching her the proper posture of shooting, Mavis nodded her head before inserting the coin inside the machine.
Soon, the spalding brand Basketball Balls rolled towards them and Jin took the initiative to grab one and shoot it to the hoop.
*Fwooossh!*
Did Jin fail?
No, he did not. One thing that you should take note of when it comes to playing in an arcade with your date is to show off your skills. Success is a must!
So, the spalding ball went inside the hoop and Mavis clapped her hand in cheer.
"Stop clapping, Mavy. Grab one and shoot too." Jin chuckled at her reaction and grabbed one of the spalding balls and passed it to her.
Mavis nervously held the ball while looking back and forth at the hoop and the ball in her hand. She's clearly afraid of showing failure in front of Jin.
She doesn't want to embarrass herself! Not to mention, there are some curious kids and staff looking in their way.
Mavis gulped her saliva and imitated Jin's earlier shooting posture and threw the ball forward.
*FWOOOSH!*
Unfortunately, Mavis isn't a normal human so her strength isn't suited for this kind of game. And so, she threw the ball too hard and fast.
Seeing this, the kids behind her chuckled while the staff shook their heads, expecting Mavis to fail.
'She's a girl, what did I expect?' They all said inside their minds in unison.
However, would Jin allow Mavis to be embarrassed like that? Not to mention, he heard and chuckles behind them, so Jin quickly used his telekinesis to guide the ball towards the hoop and in order to not show suspicion, Jin manipulated the ball to slam on the rim for a few times before rolling around the inner rim and went inside smoothly.
All of this happened under the shocked gazes of everyone who was watching them.
Even Mavis who was ready to face the embarrassment didn't expect for the ball to go in despite the strong force that she used to shoot.
"Eh?"
Out of all of them, Jin was the only one who had a grin on his face.
'Thankfully, none of them noticed something wrong. I manipulated it enough to be believable.' Jin said to himself with a proud expression.
While Jin was being proud of himself. Mavis was jumping up and down before engulfing Jin in a bear hug.
"I did it!" She excitedly shouted while looking at Jin's face, wanting to see his reaction to her win.
Seeing the smile on Jin's face made Mavis silently squeal inside her mind.
'He's proud of me!' Mavis whispered to herself inside her mind while Jin was smiling because he was able to fool everyone in the arcade.
"Time is ticking, Mavis. Let's continue. Be careful with your shoot this time. Be a bit softer. Control your strength." Jin reminded Mavis with advice this time.
Meanwhile, Mavis nodded her head and they continued their game.
Much to Mavis's surprise, she managed to shoot all of her shots perfectly, without any mistakes thanks to a certain cheater. Making her happy.
Fortunately, her eyes have already adapted from the bright lights, so she was able to see the entire arcade in its full glory.
"It's so....colorful." Mavis muttered with a twinkle in her eyes. Jin who was beside her, can't help but smile at her reaction.
"Let's play more arcades." Jin softly held Mavis's hand and led her throughout the entire arcade games available in the arcade establishment.
Obviously, Jin purposely avoided the crank machines and such. There's no way he's gonna let Mavis experience the horror of that rigged machine.
Sure he could use his power to 'un-rigged' the machine.
But that's cheating, right?
So, Jin abandoned those thoughts and enjoyed the day with Mavis.
*Gurgle!*
While playing a Street Fighter arcade game, Jin's sharp hearing caught the sound of Mavis's stomach gurgling in hunger.
Looking at her, Mavis was biting her lip as she looked down, her cheeks were flushed in red due to the sheer embarrassment.
"What do you want to eat?" Jin chuckled at her face and as much as he wanted to tease her, food is more important, so he asked her instead.
"A-anything is fine. As long as it's made by humans." Despite being embarrassed, Mavis is still determined to fulfill the bucket list that she made before coming here.
And one of those is tasting the food made by humans.
"Do you want the American way or the Asian way?"
"Huh? What's the difference?" Mavis doesn't have any knowledge about the terms that Jin used, so she was confused about what he said.
"Just choose one and you'll see." Jin mysteriously smiled and replied.
"....The American way." After a moment of hesitation and thinking to herself, Mavis finally chose the first one, the American way.
"Welp, pizza it is then." Jin answered quickly before spreading his senses throughout the entire city of Columbus, Ohio.
It didn't take long before he saw the nearest pizza restaurant.
'I should probably go and buy myself a car.' Jin looked at the surroundings and saw several cars that passed by them on the road.
***
"Have you found the ruins of Atlantis?" Thomas was sitting in front of Abraham Van Helsing as he asked.
"Not yet, but I'm close. I could've found it earlier if it wasn't for your incompetent 'experts' as you like to call them." Abraham sneered and replied. Completely disregarding Thomas's status as the President of the United States of America.
However, instead of getting angry at the disrespect, Thomas smiled instead and replied.
"I see. I'll pass this message to them and give them a warning. Hopefully, we'll find that artifact in time." Thomas then continued.
"Why do you even want this artifact to kill Dracula? Do you have any grudges with him?" Abraham, who has lived for the past 100 years in this world, to the point of integrating his own body to a machine just to continue to live, was confused that Thomas shares the same grudge as he has to Dracula.
"It's confidential. Just do your job and I promise that you'll be able to kill Dracula with your own hands." Thomas's face grew cold as he said.
Although deep down, he was afraid and cautious. Now that there's an unknown variable out there that might threaten his existence, his uniqueness in this world is stolen! Now, he must do everything he can to get that back, even if it means killing his way through it.
"....Fine, keep your secrets. Just make sure that Dracula will die by my hands!" The old man clicked his tongue and said before shouting for someone behind him.
"Ericka! Let's go!" Abraham then turned around and left, one of the downsides of having a machine body is mobility.
"Yes, dad." Ericka who has been standing behind him, replied and followed him out.
Thomas didn't move an inch and simply watched their backs leaving his office. Though there was an inexplicable lust flashing before his eyes as his stares at Ericka's back.
'Unfortunately, that old man has invented something that prevents me from controlling their minds. From what I know, in the movie Johnny managed to resist Dracula'smind powers with contact lenses. So, they probably wear that too.' Thomas sighed and said to himself in defeat.
And so, Thomas could do nothing but wait for the old man finish his job of killing Dracula. And once he got his use of him, he could just use force against him and take his daughter away.
'Those curves are killing me.' Thomas licked his lips as he thought about Ericka.
Unknown to him, Abraham has long seen the lust in his eyes the moment they entered his office.
