Beelzebub adventures chapter 3
"What the hell do you want now, girly?'' a policeman at the entrance desk questioned the two visitors, with an annoyed look.
"I heard my brother is ill, I brought some medicine for him, Officer Berger.'' Elise lifted the white drugstore bag with two boxes inside.
"You know that has a cost, right?'' Officer Berger reminds.
"Oh right!'' Elise reached for her bag and took out three big bills. She handed them to the guard.
Officer Berger grabbed them, inspected them, and looked at the unknown pregnant girl who's next to Elise. "Who's your friend? She looks nice.''
"Her name's Brigitte, the daughter of the Strauss, and our neighbors.'' Elise introduced.
"Oh yeah! That drunken bald fart and his fat wife. I can't believe they were able to produce such a beauty of a daughter. It's a shame she couldn't keep her legs closed.'' The guard leaned towards the black haired girl and caressed her cheek while the girl did the best she could to hide her disgust. After getting enough he sat back. "Galland, inspect both of them! Try to be kind''.
A tall bearded guard put the girls facing the wall and look inside their purses, then proceeded to search into their clothes, failing at disguising his fondling of the bodies of the two females.
"They're clean, Berger!'' Galland confirms.
"All right. You have twenty minutes to see your brother. See how kind I can be when you help me out, sweetheart? Now go, Officer Galland will escort you inside.'' Officer Berger instructs.
The two girls followed the tall guard through the hallway and then turned right In the direction of the cell rooms. The sight of the badly beaten prisoners (most of them townsmen) crowding the cells impressed both girls.
Officer Galland stopped at the door and shouted names. "Pradel! Move your butt to the visit hall. Your sister's here!''.
A young and skinny brunet man was helped to stand up by a fellow inmate and headed his way where Elise couldn't track him by sight. Officer Galland ordered her to follow him towards the visit hall, at the bottom of the hallway. The badly lit room had very few people inside besides the guards, since only those who could afford it could see their loved ones. The young man, with his arms and face full of bruises was sitting in front of a stone table. Both girls sat on the opposite side and the guard left.
Elise rushed to his brother and hugged him in tears. "Don't worry, we'll get you out of here soon.''
''You didn't have to… I'm glad that you're safe." Pradel says, hugging his sister.
"Your fever is burning, Pradel! What did you want me to do?'' Elise wonders.
''I'm fine.'' Pradel says, trying to act tough.
"Don't be stupid, I brought you this. Take it two times a day.'' Elise says, bringing up her bag of medicines.
The stubborn boy took the bag in his hands and took out the medicine bottle from its box. Birgitte suddenly addressed him bluntly.
"Ok tell us, did you happen to see some...''
"Shut up! Sorry Pradel, what she wanted to ask is…'' Elise gestured her brother to lean down and whispered to him "A foreigner. A human. I'm sure you could smell him.''
Pradel looked at her astonished. After a few moments of disbelief, he finally gathered his memories. "I saw the guards dragging a orange haired man in the hall two days ago. I'm not sure where they took him, but he must be here since I didn't see them take him out either.''
Sighing in relief, Elise and Birgitte leaned back.
"Thanks. I put some food in that bag too. Don't share it with anyone else if you don't want to get even more ill. We'll get you out of here soon, Pradel.'' Elise says.
"How are mom and dad doing?'' Pradel asks.
"They're fine, don't worry." Elise replies.
Suddenly, a deep voice shouting shocked everyone in the room. After a few moments, officers Galland and Berger entered the room.
"A little bird who knows a lot of people here told me that certain Strauss girl was never pregnant and didn't even get out from her home today! So who the hell is the one we got right here?'' Officer Berger and the rest of the guards inside the room started to get out their lead covered bludgeons from their belts.
The shock had knocked Pradel to the floor. Birgitte stood up while Elise reached down to her brother.
"Stay down, for Hell's sake!'' She said while placing two tissues on her nose and her body started to crack and change shape in a gruesome way. Lifting his face, he saw Birgitte becoming taller while her hair receded on her scalp.
"I detected them upstairs!''
"Go for them. I'll dispatch these turds here!''
"Right away! Zebul Flare!'' Birgitte lifted her arm, forming a demonic zeal in the air. A powerful light blinded every guard in the room, followed by an explosion that filled the room with debris and dust. Moments later, the black haired girl was gone and white haired cross dressed boy stood at the side of Pradel, who looked up horrified.
"Your sister sends her regards.'' Furuichi says.
All Pradel could remember before passing out in a feverish shock was the an energy aura glowing around the boy, who then vanished from his sight and turned into a fast silhouette that charged towards the guards, who started filling the room with screams in agony a few instants later.
…
Hajime Kanzaki, recovering from the shock caused by the explosion that made a big hole in the floor of the dungeon where he was being held captive. Looking up, both his captors, a blue skinned hulk with gills on his neck and a skinny shorter one, tried to stand up, stunned after being knocked to the ground.
When the dust cloud cleared, Oga, attired in a green and oversized dress and his long hair tied in a ponytail and an oversized belly, run over to him.
"You all right?'' Oga asks.
"The fuck are you wearing? Are you…''
"I'll tell you later.'' Oga says, breaking the handcuffs in Kanzaki's wrists and ankles and tried to help him stand up.
Seconds later, Oga and Kanzaki jumped through the hole Oga made on the ground. Furuichi was no longer there, though they could hear a fight-taking place in the bottom of the hallway. Both headed towards the cellblock.
"Where are the others?'' Oga asks.
"I ask you the same. I haven't seen them since they brought me here.'' Kanzaki says.
"So Kunieda, and the others are not…''
"Wasn't I clear enough? No, they're not here!'' Kanzaki yelled.
"That means…'' Before he could finish his sentence, Oga got Beel's warning and jumped over Kanzaki, getting out of the way of the incoming projectile that penetrated the ceiling and landed where they were standing.
Before they could stand straight, a large body came out of the dust at inhuman speed and charged towards Oga, dragging him all the way to the bottom wall on the opposite side, crushing his body against it.
"Oga!'' Kanzaki cried.
The large body of the attacker covered the much smaller body of the young man, hiding him from Kanzaki's view inside the hole of the wall. The demon punched the boy twice before being sent flying in the opposite direction with a kick. Oga came out of the hole with his dress being shredded to ribbons with just a skirt full of holes, covering his lower body and a demonic green aura surrounding him.
"You got what you deserved, turd.'' Kanzaki says.
The hulkish demon rose up from the floor, shaking off the pieces of debris off his shoulders,
"What's your name, mongrel?'' Oga asks.
"Officer Morlk Gautier, superintendent of the Romaine Police department, and I'll send you to the deepest part of this hell, boy! You worthless humans will learn to stop messing with our world!'' the Demon replied.
"The pot calls the kettle black. Now get ready for a…''
Kanzaki lifted his arm and stopped Oga from advancing any further.
"He's mine.'' Kanzaki says.
"Dude, look at yourself…'' Oga says, looking at Kanzaki's injuries.
"I'll make him fucking pay for messing with me and scaring Futaba. I'll only ask you two favors, leave him to me…and please pull my chain.'' Kanzaki asks, placing his chain on his face.
"You still have that with you? I thought you don't need that stupid…"
"Just pull it!" Kanzaki demanded.
"Umm… ok." Oga says, grabbing onto Kanzaki's chain.
After a moment of hesitation, Oga pulled the chain in Kanzaki's mouth with so much strength the blonde man almost fell to the ground.
"Not too hard, dumbass!" A yellow energy aura started flowing around Kanzaki's body before he charged at the police chief.
"Let's see what a itty bitty Prisoner like you can do." Officer Morik says.
The hulk anticipated the upward kick of the boy and blocked it, but Kanzaki backpedalled before he could grab his leg. The chief took out his gigantic Baton out of his belt and charged at him, throwing a horizontal swing. Kanzaki ducked under the weapon and jumped to the left wall. The chief threw another swing, but Kanzaki jumped away just in time before the Baton impacted the wall, getting stuck in the stonework. Before he could get it out Kanzaki jumped at him, throwing a frontal Kick that the demon barely blocked. Disarmed, the chief rushed forward with jabs, one of which connected on Kanzaki's shoulder with enough force to make him slide backwards.
"Don't let him grab you!'' Oga shouted in excitement.
Officer Morik grabbed pieces of trash and started throwing him at Kanzaki who dodged most of them and kicked those he couldn't avoid. Suddenly, the demon stood still and threw the last piece at hand in a slow speed. The trick distracted Kanzaki, who was met with a left followed up with a powerful right hook that sent him flying to the iron bars on the left side of the hall.
"Arrgh!" Kanzaki cried.
Officer Morik stripped off one of the stone tables from the floor and rushed to Kanzaki, trying to hit him with it. Kanzaki grabbed the bars to help himself up and, to Oga's amazement, Kicks the table back, hitting Officer Morik hard in the knees.
"Arrgh!" Officer Morik cried, falling on his knees.
"Now's your chance, Kanzaki!" Oga exclaimed.
"You don't have to tell me that!" Kanzaki yelled.
Kanzaki charges in and threw a sweep Kick to the demon's ankles, knocking him to the ground. Officer Morik got his head hit by the edge of another table and got stunned. Kanzaki jumps in the air, performing a multiple front flips which helped him land a devastating Kick to the chief's face. "Flipping Heel Drop!"
Kanzaki's special attack was powerful enough to take the huge demon down with all his teeth flying out of his mouth. Kanzaki falls pm his knees, gasping in exhaustion. Oga walked to him and offered his hand again. This time, Kanzaki grabbed it and lifted himself from the floor.
"You got some cool new moves there.'' Oga compliments.
"Old man Saotome has been teaching me too while you enjoyed your honeymoon in the demon world, turd.'' Kanzaki says, smiling.
"I can't wait for our fight. Now let's go, Furuichi may need our help." Oga says.
Oga, Beel, and Kanzaki got out of the hallway to get to the entrance. Once they arrived, they were greeted by the sight of Furuichi and the freed townsmen (with some logistically imprisoned thugs) shouting celebrating their victory over the corrupted guards and throwing them into the cells they had previously occupied. A group of them held Furuichi and threw him in the air, catching him, and cheering his name. When seeing Kanzaki, Furuichi jumped forward and runs towards his friends.
"Are you ok? You're really beat up.'' Furuichi asks.
"You still owe me a match for the last time we sparred, Mobichi…but thanks.''
Furuichi smiles and he and Kanzaki shake hands for their reunion.
"And please, don't ever dress like girls again or I'll kick your butts for making my eyes bleed.'' Kanzaki says.
"You feeling insecure, Hajime?'' Furuichi says, giggling.
"Don't fucking use my name, drag fag! Do you want to swallow your own teeth?'' Kanzaki angrily asks.
….
"Sorry for shredding your dresses, Elise. I promise I'll give you the best tip you ask to compensate.'' Furuichi says before taking a sip of soda.
"To hell with those rags of cloth! You brought my brother back, thank you!'' Elise happily thanked.
Elise, her brother, and their parents were celebrating their newly found freedom lavishing their liberators. Oga devoured lots of dishes whose names he didn't know with his typical voracity.
"Ma'am, your food is so good I'm planning to send you a friend of mine so she can learn from you.'' Oga says to Elise's mother with his full mouth, chunks of food falling from it.
"Manners, Oga! Sorry ma'am.'' Furuichi apologizes.
"Don't worry, young man. I'll receive her with open arms.'' Elise's Mom happily says.
"Hehe, I doubt that person will ever want to come, but thanks. And by the way, our…friend here will testify to the Demon Lord about all the misdemeanor of the police department. He's well known in the Royal Court.'' Furuichi says.
"Really?'' Elise's Mom surprisingly says.
"Of course Madame! Everything for my king and my beloved prince!'' Alaindelon says while hugging both Beel and Furuichi, strangling the latter with his embrace.
"You better just talk about Beel! Now let… me go..!'' Furuichi demanded.
Kanzaki finishes his meal and now thirsty. "Excuse me lady, do you serve yogurt here?''
"Kanzaki what the hell…'' Furuichi says.
"Of course we do!'' Elise wailed happily. "We serve a delicious yogurt dish typical from this region! We make it from fresh milk got from the local farms. Our three headed cows produce the best milk around!''
"Well, it's not Yogurty but whatever. Let's see what demon yogurt is all about.''
"As you command!'' Elise happily says, going to the kitchen.
A few moments later, Elise came back with a bowl of creamy yoghurt. Kanzaki threw the cherry on top to Beel's hands and started tasting the dessert. After a few instants of disbelief, his stern face morphed into a face of ill contained joy.
"For the love of Bhudda…."
"What do you think?'' Elise leans on Kanzaki's shoulder.
"Yogurty has found it's equal! I never expected this day to come. Girl, you impress me.'' Kanzaki says, giving a thumb up.
"Thank you sir! Do you want to know how I make it?'' Elise hugs him by the neck before sitting at his side.
"Tell me, I must know your secrets.'' Kanzaki says.
Kanzaki continued savoring his dessert with a calm expression while his interlocutor sat at his side and started a dissertation on the procedures of making traditional Yoghurt.
"I've never seen our daughter so happy, Marcel." Elise's Mom looked at her husband with a cunning smile.
"Don't assume things, Sophie. He's human.'' Elise's Dad replied.
"So what? As long as our daughter is happy, I'll accept anyone.'' Elise's Mom says, watching her daughter talking to Kanzaki.
"I'll accept that too. He's a really tough human who could protect my sister." Pradel agrees.
Soon enough, the entire table has started a lot of conversations.
…
Oga, Beel, Furuichi, and Kanzaki are about to leave with all the towns' people saying their thanks and goodbyes.
"Take care boys! The road two miles ahead is roamed by dire wolves!'' Elise's Mom says.
"Don't worry sir, thanks for everything!'' Furuichi thanked.
"We'll definitely comeback again. Right, Beel?" Oga asks.
"Dah!" Beel replies, waving his hands around.
"Tell your daughter thanks for making the amazing yogurt." Kanzaki says.
"You know I will." Pradel says.
"Let's get going." Alaindelon says.
As they're about to leave, a loud voice stops them.
"Wait!''
Elise came out of the crowd with a huge plastic container in her hands.
The townspeople escorted Oga's gang to the outskirt of the village after giving them clothing, food and whatever they needed for their trip. Elise ran towards Kanzaki and gives him the plastic container.
"And this is…'' Kanzaki asks, looking at the container.
"A nig supply of my yogurt for you and your friends. You'll have something nice to celebrate your freedom!" Elise happily says.
"Thanks a lot. I'm definitely going to enjoy this again." Kanzaki thanked.
"Please come visit me soon!" Elise says, slightly blushing.
"I'll be busy lately, but this delicacy is worth it.'' Kanzaki says, smiling.
Elise jumps onto his neck and hugs him again, almost knocking the container out of his arms. The boys bid farewell to Elise and the townspeople. It would not be long before their trip was even more energized with conversations between the usual interlocutors.
"You lucky bastard, Kanzaki. You got a hug from a beautiful waitress." Furuichi jealously says.
"Heh, I can probably get more hugs from girls than you." Kanzaki grins.
"Don't worry Takayuki, I'm here for you." Alaindelon says, giving him a big hug.
"I don't want a hug from you!" Furuichi yelled.
…
"Come on, just a pinch!'' Oga asked.
"Stop, you retard! Your dirty hands will spoil it!'' Kanzaki roared.
"Stop bitching and give me some!'' Oga roared back.
"Shut up! Drink water instead!'' Kanzaki yelled.
Furuichi watches Oga and Kanzaki fighting over the yogurt and sighs. "Soon, everything will be back to normal."
"Dabu!" Beel agrees.
