Chapter 2-2: Unspeakable Hastur, Survived Alien, the Devil from Hyundo
[Tokyo, 25th April 2034]
"Ugh, where am I? Nyx, are you oka…."
Huh, I cannot find her. I think we got separated; I have to find her now.
[Laforet Harajuku, 25th April 2034]
Let's search for her in this city first, since I didn't know what kind of power I possess, maybe it's a good idea to train here while looking for Nyx. I wonder what Nyx reincarnated to. Wait, I hear someone crying.
"Someone just cry. Oh no, I have to help that person."
That person might be in trouble, but where is he/she? I searched at back alley and...
"Oh no, I'm too late. I-Is she dead?"
"H-help me…. P-please…"
"Oh! You still alive. What can I do for you?"
"That voice… H-Hastur?"
"You know me?"
"Hastur… It's me, Cthulhu."
"Cthulhu! My sister! Oh, I finally found you. Where have you been?"
"I-I…"
"Cthulhu? Cthulhu?"
Cthulhu, she's unconscious. I have to bring her to safer place, because devils are everywhere.
[Harajuku Outskirts, 25th April 2034, few minutes later]
There must be a town that wasn't inhabited by devils. Cthulhu, she needs treatment.
"Hang in there, Cthulhu. I will find somewhere safe for your treatment."
"S-Sister…"
"Oh, I saw a city there. Just hang in there okay?"
"…"
I directly run to the city that I saw earlier, hope there are no devils there.
[Evacuation Area, 25th April 2034]
Finally, I arrived at the city. Wait, why there are so many injured humans here? These injured humans, I feel pity for them.
"Halt, this is evacuation area. Show me your pass!"
"Oh, but I don't have a pass, sir. This girl is injured, please let me in."
"Sorry, no pass no entry. Get lost!"
"B-But…."
"No more reasons. Get lost now!"
I can't enter the city because I don't have a pass. Where can I get one? I have to bring Cthulhu for her safety. I think I just heard sounds.
"Who's there!? Show yourself!"
"Whoa, hold on. I'm just an ordinary contractor. Are you a devil?"
"I'm not a devil."
"I see. The injured person, is that your sister?"
"Y-Yes."
"Come with me."
"What!? Why is that?"
"Just come with me okay?"
"Fine."
That mysterious contractor looks suspicious, I better be aware or something bad might happen. We go to the city again. What are we doing here again, I don't have a pass.
"Halt, show me your pass, and you! I remember you; you can't go in without the pass."
"She's coming with me, officer."
"Oh, I see. Let me check you up first."
"You don't need to check her."
"But it's against the rules that newcomers must be examined first."
"Fine, but make it fast."
The guard examined me, but suddenly there's a sound of rapid beeping.
"The alarm is ringing! You're a devil!"
"What? I am not a devil!"
"I'll exterminate you once and for all, devil!"
This is bad; I'm battling with the city guard. He sends out 6 devils consisting of Gumiho, Yog Sothoth, Sraosha, Pungshin, Brynhildr, and Skuld. It's one against six; this is not good at all.
Since I reincarnated, I didn't know much about my powers and skills. I'd better try attacking them basically. Because I'm only battling alone, I only got a chance of attacking one time only. It's the enemy's turn now; Gumiho uses Blood Prison, Yog Sothoth uses Drain Magic, Sraosha uses Acid Breath, Pungshin uses Qigong Explosion, Brynhildr uses Sky-breaking Claw, and Skuld uses Ice Storm. They used their skill; I cannot stand a chance…
"Why you… humans…."
"That serves you well, devil. Gumiho, finish her off!"
Gumiho wants to finish me off with Blood Prison, but suddenly…
"Bango Jinin, Underworld Punishment!"
Gumiho instantly incapacitated after get burned with Underworld Punishment. No, not only Gumiho, all of the guard's devils are incapacitated too. The mysterious contractor approaches me.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine. But why did you help me? I am a devil."
"So what does it matters? I don't really care that you're not my devil, but I have to help someone who's in trouble."
"You! The contactor! How dare you!"
"Let me explain. This devil isn't going to attack humans; she only wants to take her sister to a safe place. Is that right, uh….. Are you Hastur?"
"Once, yeah. But now I don't really think so."
"Hmmm, if that what the reason is, you may enter."
"Thank you, officer."
"Once again I'm not an officer!"
"Geez, okay. I know it."
Finally, I can get into the city now. But, I saw the contractor speaking to his devil that uses Underworld Punishment from earlier. I decided to overhear their conversation.
"But Master, our contract is not over yet."
"I know, but I feel pity to that Hastur."
"Did you want her to be my new contractor?"
"Yes, Jinin. She will be your Spirit Contractor."
"I see. If that's your decision, our contract has been ended."
Spirit Contractor? What does that means? But still, I need to bring Cthulhu, so she can be recovered. Then the contractor approaches me.
"Sorry for waiting long, let me heal your sister first."
"Heal? But she's badly injured."
"No need to worry, just leave it to me."
He takes a red potion and some bandages from his bag, then he examines and heals Cthulhu.
"There. She's cured now, the injury is pretty serious."
"Thank you very much, sir."
"Whoa, that's fine, and don't call me sir. The name's Miguel. I volunteered to help here a month ago."
"I'm really sorry, Miguel."
"By the way, I want to talk to you. I'll be waiting at Back Alley."
"Ah, ok?"
Miguel wants to talk, is this about that "Spirit Contractor" thingy? I'd better meet him immediately. But first, Cthulhu.
"Cthulhu? Are you awake?"
"S-sister? I am awake."
"Oh, thanks goodness. Where were you all this time?"
"I'm just exploring around Earth."
"But how did you end up injured here?"
"That time, I think its 2 days ago; I was exploring the mysterious city. I got some information that the city is closed for experiment. Some contractors are trying to observe the city, but no one ever come back. I tried to observe that city, but at the end someone just attacked me from behind continuously."
"So that's explains it."
"Sister? Didn't you have to meet that contractor?"
"Oh yes, thanks for reminding me."
We directly go to the Back Alley, where Miguel is waiting.
[Back Alley, 25th April 2034]
We are at the Back Alley now; Miguel is waiting at the alley depths with one of his devils.
"So, what is it?"
"What?"
"You say that you want to talk to me, right?"
"Oh yes, I'm sorry. This is about the Spirit Contractor, did you already hear about it?"
"Not really."
"Let me explain, Spirit Contractors are devils that make contract with its own kind, devil."
"So that means that we devils can make contract with other devil."
"Exactly, this is why I called you here. My Bango Jinin wants to be your devil."
"Wait, but I'm not ready for that and is it kinda cruel that you dumped your devil?"
"Not that, it's Jinin's decision that she will be your devil, isn't that right, Jinin?"
"Indeed. I can't let you finding your friend alone with your sister."
"Wait, how did you know that I want to find my friend?"
"I am the devil from Hyundo, far East. So I can see your future."
"Oh, I am honored. But are you really want me to be your contractor?"
"Yes, I am and I will not change my mind."
"With your decision, I will accept you as my devil."
The contractor sign just shone on my hand. I am a contractor now and Bango Jinin is my first devil.
"Thank you for accepting me as your devil; I will try my best to protect you."
"Yeah, I hope we can get along, Jinin, and thanks Miguel."
"Nah, it's not really a big deal. Well, I think that's all from me, I have to take my leave now. Bye."
"Bye, Miguel. Thanks for everything!"
Miguel left the Back Alley, and now I have to find Nyx, no matter where she is.
"Okay, now let's find Nyx. Jinin, can you predict where she is now?"
"Let me see…. Now she's at the other evacuation area that far away from here. She has reincarnated as Vlad the Impaler."
"So we have to go there now, by the way, Jinin, can I ask about my…."
"You're still Hastur, but this time, you're the Unspeakable Hastur."
"I am not even done with my question. But okay, I am Unspeakable Hastur now."
"Sister, can I be your devil too?"
"What? Why Cthulhu?"
"Because I want to protect you, sister. You have protected me since I was injured earlier, now it's my turn to protect you."
"But are you sure about this?"
"I am really sure."
"Okay, you are my devil now, Cthulhu. But promise me that you won't do something reckless."
"I promise, sister."
"I am really glad that I have a companion, we can get along well, Cthulhu. Nice to meet you."
"Me too, Jinin. Hope we can get along."
"Okay guys, let's find her."
With Cthulhu and Bango Jinin as my devils, I am a Spirit Contractor now. All I have to do left is finding Nyx, I mean Vlad the Impaler. I wonder how she is doing now.
