Chapter 3: Her Circumstances
*knock *knock
"Maes, are you there? It's me Riza I want to ask you something will you please open the door."
"…"
"Hey! Stop pretending you're not in or I'll break your door!"
"O-okay I'm in, just don't break my house!"
"Break your house? I just said your door."
"Yeah right the last time we met you said that you would break my car's door and you know what happened? YOU BROKE MY WHOLE GODDAMN CAR WHILE SAYING! I don't know where the door is so I just broke everything to be sure.!"
"Oh did I do that well I'm sorry about that."
"Yeah fine, so what brings you here?"
"96969696, this no. what do you know about it."
"96969696? I don't know much but I think that number is bad news since it led many Death Gods to be Demoted, and I don't know the reason why, so why are you asking about that number."
"Actually that number is my new target for my job."
"…"
"…"
"Are you Serious?"
"Yup."
"You sure have got bad luck on your side."
"Well I won't be excommunicated if I didn't finish it I'll be just Demoted right?"
"Well I think so. I'm not sure since I've been an outcast in the underworld for at least 15 years so I guess I don't know the things that have been going on around Underworld."
"Well you've got a point Maes. Well I'll be going now thanks for the information."
"Hey, why not have coffee at least."
"I need to finish my job first, but if you're feeling lonely I'll accompany you." Riza said with a smile
"Since when have you become so bratty? Well just come over to visit at times."
"Sure after all you're my acting Father. See ya later"
"Acting Father? I'm your guardian…geez."
The little girl 5 years ago is now a grown up Woman …sigh… time sure flies fast.

"Now then as for my target…What should I do about it?" (Sigh)
I better look for him…Oh right where's the picture… ah here it is hmm Black hair Black eyes a man in I think in his 20's well it sure suck to die young. Okay now I'll start my hunting.
Riza looked for her target lightning fast that in 30 minutes she already scanned the whole city clean meaning she's found him.
Now target locked, I'm in luck the flammable truck is in a good position now then I better start.
Riza put out her death scythe although it doesn't look like a scythe it has the same power, her two Guns Noir and Argent, she pointed her two guns in the flammable tank and then she wait until the target has reached to the desired position.
"Firing in 3...2….1….0"
*BOOM
The flammable truck blew up in the street which caused panic to the civilians but Riza knew one thing band that is.
"Mission Complete…I only need to wait for the soul to come out."
2 minutes
3 minutes
15 minutes
"!...What the heck there's no soul coming out? Not unless…Oh no definitely impossible."
"Please Help! There's a man under a ruble he seems to be alive!" a bystander yelled in Worry
"Damn looks like I missed him, since there's no time limit I better take my time."
First Day: FIRST ATTEMPT – FAILED
Second Day: SECOND ATTEPT – DIE BECAUSE OF DISEASE
Riza contact a Demonoid to spread the disease inside the target's apartment
First day: Cold- check
Second day: Fever-check
Third day: Coughing of Blood-check
And the LAST DAY : DEATH is actually the next thing to happen so why the hell is he Cured !
"DAMN he pisses me off!"
SECOND ATTEMPT – FAILED
Third Day: THIRD ATTEMPT – ACCIDENT
Riza put oil in the stairs going up the target's apartment and now she's sure to succeed
"Hey Riza what are you doing?"
"Shush Ed, don't make a noise."
"….."
Now the target is nearing the accident location.
The target slipped off the stairs and fell…..
"Yes now I'm sure, he's got to be dead by now."
2 minutes
3 minutes
15 minutes
"WHY! The hell is the soul still not coming out?"
"Then why don't you check it out to see for yourself if he's dead?" Ed said
Should I look at the target? No-no I've never gone near a human for at least 15 meters
"…actually I've seen you do this for the past 3 days, so why don't you just go and verify"
"I hate of humans! I've never been near a human for at least 20 meters"
"…." Ed gave her a pathetic look
"Fine I'll look at him but keep watch. Okay…"
Riza flew to the targets direction and saw him unconscious lying in the ground.
"Is he dead?" Riza thought, not knowing how to verify she closed her eyes then touched his face to feel his temperature.
He's warm so he's still alive then, but what's this feeling it's so warm and reassuring, so mortals feel this way they-they feel good …
Riza opened her eyes slowly and to her surprise she was staring directly at his eyes…
Riza's taking too long I better check on her, Ed flew to their direction then found them
Dumbfounded Ed's Eyes widened as if his eyes were falling out of its socket and his mouth also fell open in response to the surprising picture that was laid out in front of him his brain can't keep up and so he stood there frozen …
Riza didn't know what to do the mortal was awake and they were staring each other eye to eye, she couldn't move her brain froze along with her nerves…..
To be continued…
