Nation of Monsters (Revised) (1)- Rising up Arc (31)

  We are a bit away from the mansion; we are still with Akira; Fumiko is expecting the 3 of us to arrive there shortly; we managed to rey most of the info via the telepathic network Sia has set up. Well, the information didn’t really go directly to Fumiko since she was busy, but Ayame has a skill that allows her to receive messages like this, so it’s safe to assume she told Fumiko everything already. Taking the final step into the mansion’s courtyard, we go upstairs, only to find Fumiko in her usual spot, completing paperwork for various reasons. I didn’t expect the lord position to involve that. The amount of paperwork she has to do daily is pretty significant.

  “Hey there, Fumiko!”- She raised her head and looked at the three of us.

  “Ayame told me everything already. You meet this demon named Akira, the guard of a previous demon lord, the first Demon Lord I may add, Lord Gloxina. To me it’s pretty unlikely that you meet such a demon. Demons that served Lady Gloxina were among the first born demons, if you did, you found a rarity. I can see so much while this mountain of papers is blocking my view,”- Fumiko’s muffled voice can be heard from behind the stack of papers she is working on. Muffled footsteps can be heard as Fumiko walks up to us.

  “So, there are 3 people here; I don’t know about the one in the middle; it might just be someone in disguise”, – Fumiko sighed and walked up to Akira.

  “It’s nice to meet you, Lady Fumiko. I am Akira, and it’s true, I am among one of the firstborn demons.”- Akira knelt in front of her and extended his left hand towards where Fumiko was.

  “Yeah, a good joke, guys, who is this person in the middle then?”- Fumiko moved her head upwards and looked at Akira.

  “I am not joking, do you need any sort of proof from me, Miss Fumiko?”- Akira closed his eyes and tried to smile.

  “I know you are using Lucifer to make someone else look like that. Look, it’s hard to believe that one of the first born demons is still alive, in history it’s said that Akira was killed by Goddess Ifrit before the Great Sage intervened and after the Great Sage has entered her dormancy, Ifrit will revive again, which is in our time.”- I can feel that Fumiko is becoming a little uneasy, and her hand started to shake lightly.

  “It isn’t a joke. I am here. And pus, how I would have known how one of the first demons looked anyway”- I stood near Akira, and Fumiko gasped for air. Her eyes darted back and forth between me and Akira.

  “Just what the hell? Hikaru, how the hell did you pull this off? If Goddess Ifrit or her followers find him here, we are toast. Akira might be stronger than the two of you, but I don’t think his stamina is unlimited. Akira, sorry for doubting you. What I am gonna say applies to all three of you; take care of yourself and come back home alive from any mission that you might got through”- Fumiko sighed and walked back to her desk and continued her paperwork. She doesn’t look surprised one bit. No matter what we do or say, I don’t think we can surprise her anymore.

  “It has been a long time, Akira”- I hear a familiar voice from behind me, Oka. When did she get here anyway? I remember the door being closed; how did she open it without causing noise? I guess Fenrir’s are better at stealth than we are

  To correct you on that, Fenrir’sFenrirs are divine beings on par with heroes; they were created by the Great Sage accidentally after stumbling into this world!

  “One question, The Great Sage, you said it accidentally created them. Did she create something out of her own will?” - Hana asked Sia

  !Never, as of the information I had got, she never created something out of free will; she is a goddess of Nihility, of Nothingness. Her element is in antithesis with creation itself. Still, when she does create something out of an accident, it’s always more beneficial for all races of a world than the things created by the gods of those worlds!

  “What is Nihility exactly?” - I have a weird sort of interest in this element right now

  ! It’s the element Shadow Magic is based on; unless you suffered pure and utter mystery in your life, then most shadow magic skills cannot be learned aside from Shadow Frenzy and Insidious!

  “Makes sense”

  “Is that you, Miss Senya?”- He turned and looked at Oka; Akira looked perplexed; he leaned closer to Oka, inspecting her. And why did he call her Senya?

  “Yes, but I no longer go by the name of Senya. It’s Ookaynow. This is my human form. Your master that day saw me in my wolf form,”- Oka spoke with a monotone voice.

  “Well, nice to see you again. Your new name suits, as well as your old one, Miss Oka”- Akira and Oka entered into some kind of staring contest with each other. Akira is the first to give up on it.

  “Is there some sort of bad blood between the 2 of you or something?”- Hana got in between the 2 of them; they gave me the feeling like a fight was about to break out at any moment, and we were mere moments away from having this whole pce torn down.

  “Well, can’t say it’s bad blood, more like a competition. We want to see who can serve our masters better. And by masters I mean the 2 of you. You 2 are our new masters.”- Akira and Oka walked to our sides.

  “Currently, we are only 2 people serving the future demon lords, so we will split the workload. I will take Hikaru, and you can take Hana.”

  “It doesn’t matter who I take; I don’t py favourites like you do, Akira.” Oka walked towards Hana.

  “So, we settled this. I will serve Master Hikaru ,and you serve Master Hana. But, if any of them need help, the ones that can help will help, right Hikaru?”- I looked at Fumiko. She is almost falling asleep on her desk.

  “Yes, I won’t leave Hana behind.”

  “I won’t leave you behind either!”

  “If you guys are done, can you four help me with some paperwork? I need the help, I am tired, I stayed up all night yesterday completing them ,and now I just want to sleep”- Fumiko slowly started to get her head closer to the desk. After 1 or 2 minutes, she fell asleep.

  “Guys, let’s leave it at this for now. Let’s just help Fumiko. These papers are very important and we need to deliver them as soon as possible, if not she will be in big trouble, also, the helpers we had are on break as of this hour, but they will join us shortly.”- Oka and Akira looked at each other, they hesitated at first but slowly moved to the table filled with papers.

  “So, we have to do all of this. Seems easy, for me at least. I have a skill named Accountant that allows me to complete papers with the right data, but I need to know the data. Do you guys have the data written somewhere?”

  “Well, no. But do you have the skill of Telepathy? I can try something”- Akira looked at me without speaking for 2 minutes.

  “Yes, I do have it, but why would it be important if I have it or not?”

  “Sia, add Akira to the telepathic network.”

  !Akira has been added.!

  “Akira, can you hear me? I made a telepathic network with one of my skills, we can talk and send information this way. I will send all the data needed to complete papers.”

  !Sending data to the individual Akira, data sent successfully!

  “Did you receive any data?”- Before long, Akira took every sheet of paper and used his skill. It didn’t take long until he completed a quarter of those papers; he simply touched them, and all of the correct data was written on the paper. A handy skill to have, I didn’t know what position he had, but he seems like he knows how to do almost everything you can think of

  “Yes, sorry, I was too caught up in my work. I didn’t know you had an intelligent skill, even of the primordial level. These types of skills are rare You are lucky. How in the world have you even got a skill like this? Evolving the Legendary skill Great Sage takes a lot of effort”- Akira stopped from his paper-completing spree to look at me; he cpped his hands while looking at me.

  “Well, I got that skill while I was reincarnated. I didn’t obtain it through traditional means like you would expect me to obtain it.”

  “It’s still impressive,. Mostpeople will kill others for a Primordial skill…”- Oka put her hand over Akira’s mouth.

  “Less rambling, more working!”- She forcibly turned his head towards the stacks of papers.

  Hana and I joined in on completing the papers. In 1 hour, we finished everything that there was to complete there. When Masamune and Hanako arrived in the room, the gazed everywhere only to find a completed stack of papers.

  “How the hell did you guys mmanageto do all of this. And who is that guy?”- Hanako pointed toward Akira.

  “Forgot to introduce myself,. Iam Akira, servant of the future demon lords Hikaru and Hana. Nice to meet you miss, can I have your name?” - Akira did a slight bow in front of Hanako and then looked at her as charmingly as possible.

  “I am Hanako, pleased to meet you. He is Masamune. We work here as assistants for Miss Fumiko.”

  “Hanako, such a wonderful name. Nice to make your acquientnce, Miss Hanako.”

  I am getting tired. I let Akira and the rest get to know each other before sleeping in my room.
