The Scientist’s Home
Xenthos, Ibaraki, Utsukushī, and Konkitsu were all seated around a table within Lord Takai’s residence and territory awaiting a verdict. The Scientist was in another room currently checking the wounds of the woman, sighing as she took the crude wrappings off and began to clean and properly close the wounds. Outside Xenthos looked around the room examining everyone in it for a few moments before asking.158Please respect copyright.PENANAHYXVx1qXQS
“What do we do?”
“Pardon?”
“She oozed Miasma so clearly, she isn’t human. Lee grabbed and saved a demon, no way you didn’t know. You camped with her all night and brought her back alive.”
“An injured woman isn’t something I’m so kin on killing.”
“A woman is sensible but a demon doesn’t count towards that. She wouldn’t hesitate to rip your soul from your body if she needed it to survive.”
“If you two are going to bicker and turn barbaric I’d appreciate it if you did it outside. Break anything and I’ll have Maxwell break your necks.” Vergil walked into the home examining the group for a moment with documents in his hands.158Please respect copyright.PENANAbth185zr0Q
“Where’s The Scientist?”
“She’s currently The Doctor right now. She’s making sure to tend to our guests' wounds.”
“Right. Now what’s this about her being a demon?” Vergil asked, looking towards Lee. Lee didn’t say a word and kept his arms folded.158Please respect copyright.PENANAe4OwynNCsw
“I don’t plan to repeat myself.”
“Yesterday Lee was attacked by this woman, she proceeded to speak to him and then suddenly passed out and hasn’t woken since.” Utsukushī explained to the young master. Vergil looked at some documents in his hands and nodded.
“I see. As long as she doesn’t destroy anything within our space we’ll accommodate her as long as she’d like. I’d say-” Vergil was cut off by the sound of his various troops cheering and whistling.
“What’s with the noise?” Ibaraki asked hopping up and skipping out of the room Sun’s tail swished as he jumped up and followed after her. Sun’s movements caught Xenthos’s attention and he got ready to stand up but Utsukushī sat him back down. He looked at her and she looked towards him.
“Its best you stay here. That’s just Officer coming to check on the exiles, its just his thing. I feel you need to stay for when she wakes up.” Utsukushī smiled and Xenthos ignored her standing up and following anyway. She sighed and followed leaving only Lee and Konkitsu behind. Outside everyone saw a man walking over with a wagon, the man wasn’t too tall (5’9) and wasn’t much out of place seeming more average by it all. He wore a police officer uniform and currently was writing down on a notepad. The various exiles came over to him singing praises, smiles painted on their faces, he would nod back to them all and smile back.
“Mr. Trigger!” A slim young woman with short red hair tied into a small ponytail. Called out to Dallas, he was lagging behind quickly hurrying over once shouted at. The woman wore large-circular glasses, a business suit that ended in a skirt short enough to expose her abdomen all clad in yellow and black.158Please respect copyright.PENANA1wTYdx2xgM
“The exiles are expecting you and you’re taking so much time stopping at every occasion. We don’t want to be around these barbarians for too long lest they try something.”
“Come on Jess that’s not nice. Everyone in the village are my people until we get ourselves a proper leader.” Dallas pat a kid on the head and the kid ran off with coins smiling and chatting with his friends.
“No Mr. Trigger. The exiles are barbaric, not your people the defenders are our people. These aren’t your people in all stance, you’re they’re scapegoat.”
“Proudly so. If it means a guy like me can make it up to these folks and make em as happy as can be. I’m fine with this position until someone can really take care of them.” Dallas smiled walking forward to catch up but suddenly was stopped by a kid hugging his leg. He looked at the kid and smiled down at them seeing their mother waving at him as thanks. He waved back and sent their child back to them walking to the exiles side.
“We hand them out and we leave. The las thing we want to do is deal with them longer than we have too.”
“As much as I don’t like that I don’t want any issues either. I’ll hand the supplies requested out, you all just pas them over to me an-” Dallas looked over seeing Officer.158Please respect copyright.PENANAYae810dKLY
“Ha ha. Gotta love that guy. Hey Officer Something Something!” He called out walking over with two other defenders pulling wagons and following him. The exiles saw the defenders and their cheering went down as Vergil stood at the forefront of it all separating his people from them.
“Mr. Trigger? To what do we owe the pleasure?” Vergil asked looing at him.
“Just thought you guys needed a little bit extra.”
“Extra? I’m sorry I do not follow.”
“You’re part of the village as much as any defender is. I can’t make it all perfect but we’ve just gotten some supplies set in. I feel its no issue if you all get a bit more as thanks for all the hard work you do.” Ibaraki and the others watched the situation.
“I- huh. Gues you aren’t just sitting in the seat.” Vergil smiled as he walked over towards the wagons of supplies but was stopped by Jess. Before he could speak Dallas stood between them and then gently made Jess step back. Vergil understood the motions and with a whistle a bunch of servants dressed similarly to Rose stepped up. One by one they took and escorted rations professionally and swiftly.
“Hey! Wait!” Everyone was caught off guard with the sound of Lee shouting. Turning they all saw the woman was awake and now floating around sniffing the air she seemed to be very focused on something like it was bugging her.
“Up there!” She called out and everyone looked up in the sky seeing nothing. However only the few noticed the various ripples in the air, it wasn’t nothing, something was there it was just invisible. Ibaraki took aim and instantly ignited aiming at the creature in the sky she fired an arrow and hit a dead on mark. The beast roared and intense gusts of wind were launched at the people. Xenthos jumped in the way and blocked them with his body taking some slices but defending those near him. Ibaraki quickly made a symbol and a barrier rose up blocking the rest of the people and then they saw the beast quickly retreat. Everyone turned to the woman who seemed to be very relaxed as she looked at them all.
“I do apologize for the interruption, I couldn’t sit by as that thing stalked you all further. However I have a request as thanks, does… Does anyone know where I am?”
