10 minutes left before 10PM. At the outside of the Kurokawa residence, Otto was putting the garbage bag into the trashbin.
However, when he was about go back into the house, he noticed an unknown person walked towards his direction. Otto was a bit suspicious at first, but he still chose to wait and see.
As she was getting nearer and nearer, Otto soon realized that person was a braided girl wearing a tan-coloured with round glasses. And much to Otto's own shock, she was badly injured and extremely exhausted.
"Help...help me..." the girl muttered weakly.
The girl almost collapsed on the street, only for Otto to quickly rushed towards her.
"Miss, are you okay!?" Otto carefully held her in his arms.
"They're coming... they're... coming..." the girl finally closed her eyes.
"What do you mean!? Please tell me!" Otto tried to woke her up.
Out of sudden, Otto just noticed something unpleasant on her wrist, much to his own horror.
The wristband on her arm indicated she's a test subject for the blasted Erionian scientists. Otto wondered, how did this girl escaped from a secret facility with a high level of security control?
Otto will save the question for another time. For now, he need to bring her inside his house immediately.
...
Another Infester lair was raided, and those pesky aliens completely wiped out by the Slayers. However, it was far from over. There are still more of their lairs scattered across the city.
"Monitsu, catch!" Inosuke threw an object towards Zenitsu.
However, when Zenitsu looked at it, it was a decapitated alien's head, much to his own horror.
"Yikes!" Zenitsu shoved the head away. "Don't throw this thing at me, you silly boar!"
"Hahahaha! Are you scared, Monitsu?" Inosuke taunted.
"SHUT UP!" Zenitsu yelled.
"Do you have any idea why the Infesters keep this volleyball in their base?" Muichirou was holding a volleyball he found in the room.
"Maybe they mistaken it for an egg, that's why they took it" Tanjirou speculated.
Soon, both of them were approached by Sabito from nearby.
"Ah, there you are, Sabito" Tanjirou said. "Where did you go?"
"I was helping Kochou-senpai earlier" Sabito replied.
Sabito then noticed Muichirou was holding a volleyball.
"Hey, where did you find that volleyball?" Sabito was curious.
"I found it in a dustbin" Muichirou answered.
"Alright everyone, now it's time for us to go back to the headquarters!" Tengen said.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Gyutaro rolled his eyes with a bored expression.
However, as they were about to leave this place, Zenitsu was staring at a large hole on the ceiling. He could felt something unpleasant was coming from there.
And his intuition was right. His eyes widened in fear.
He saw a 'boar-headed human' stared back at him, much to his own horror.
"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!"
Everyone in there had their attention focused towards Zenitsu as the blonde boy screamed in fear.
"Zenitsu, what's wrong!?" Tanjirou rushed towards him.
"I... I... I..." Zenitsu was unable to speak.
"Oi, just say it!" Sabito demanded.
"I SAW A BOAR-HEADED HUMAN UP THERE!"
"A boar-headed human?" Tanjirou was confused.
"A rival mountain king!? Let me fight them!" Inosuke was excited.
Unfortunately, when they looked again at the ceiling's hole, it's already gone.
"Eeeeeeh!? That beast is already gone!?" Zenitsu was shocked.
"Well, I think it's just your imagination, Zenitsu" Sabito frowned.
"If you trying to make some silly pranks, then you're doing it on the wrong time and place" Tengen sneered.
"No! It's not my imagination or any prank! I saw it-"
Out of sudden, Zenitsu was injected from behind by Shinobu. His eyes started feeling sleepy before he almost collapsed on the floor, only for Tanjirou to clutched him.
"Kochou-senpai, what in the name of the world are you doing?" Sabito was a bit scared.
"Oops, sorry" Shinobu chuckled innocently. "I think Agatsuma-kun just too exhausted"
...
Several workers of this warehouse were injured after an Infester wrecked havoc inside this warehouse. One of the executives of Infester Slayer Corps, Kyoujurou were sent there to investigate the case.
"Have you spotted any hostile creatures crawling in this warehouse?" Kyoujurou asked one of the workers.
"I didn't, but I heard some monstrous growl sometimes" the worker replied.
"Monstrous growl... I see" Kyoujurou said.
"And sometimes I found heavily damaged boxes and crates scattered across the floor" Mamoru added.
"Looks like this Infester is an aggressive one" Kyoujurou commented.
"Well, I'm worried if more of the workers in here become it's victim" the worker was worried.
"Don't worry, I'll track down this beast as fast as possible!" Kyoujurou assured.
Out of sudden, the worker's eyes widened. He saw a masked figure with long black hair swiftly passed behind the worker, wearing a loose uniform of some sort.
Kyoujurou noticed the worker's expression was looking different.
"Do you have a problem, mister?" Kyoujurou asked out of concern.
"Well, I just saw a strange person running behind you" the worker said.
"Behind me?"
Kyoujurou quickly turned behind. However, no one was there, and he saw a white robotic vacuum cleaner instead.
"Well, you're not kidding right, mister?" Kyoujurou asked again.
"Uhhh...maybe it just my imagination" the worker replied.
It was unbelievable for Kyoujurou, but the worker saw them with his own eyes.
