Indenture

Chapter 9

"We're going to lure the demon here?"

Celestia stared at the scene ahead of her before turning to Han with a raised brow.

"Yup."

Han seemed confident while Celestia was unsure. The two were currently on the ground floor of a huge shopping mall and as much as Celestia wanted to look around, she couldn't help but worry over the damage the demons would cause when they showed up.

"The top floor is closed off for now since its being reconstructed for new shops and I've placed a box there that has some of your aura stored. That is how we are gonna lure them but for now, let's have some fun!" Han explained and before Celestia had the chance to speak up, she was being dragged away by the male.

The first place he took her was a classic looking arcade. Celestia couldn't hide her awe as she inched towards the gaming area and Han chuckled, following after her.

"Do you know how to play?" He asked and she shook her head, an innocent look on her face.

"Okay, so do you see that character? You need to move it around to collect the items while also avoid the enemies. Do you understand?" He revealed as he played the game to show her.

When it was Celestia's turn, she played unexpectedly well and Han was gobsmacked when he saw she had gained the highest score in the arcade.

"L-Let's play another game." He ushered her towards a shooting game.

Han stood on one side of the system, grabbing a gun, holding a look of confidence as he did so while Celestia took her own gun and stared at the screen in wonder.

"You will learn the game as you play." He mentioned before pressing the red button the start.

Celestia watched as the large screen turned blank before slowly the next scene appeared, revealing her character to be in a forest of some sort.

"I'm going ahead so try to catch up!" Han mentioned before setting off by pressing his feet against the floor panels which allowed his character to move forward.

The objective of the game was to defeat as many aliens as possible. Han was already in battle and as soon as he finished off his enemies, he smiled in victory but it instantly wiped off once he saw Celestia's screen.

"Wha-how-huh?"

Her score was nine hundred thousand and his, six hundred thousand. Celestia held an innocent look to her face making Han release a sigh and shake his head.

"Do you want to get something to eat?" He decided to move on from the games and move onto food.

"I don't know what is nice here." She admitted and Han raised a brow.

"We could just eat at the fast food restaurant on the second floor." He suggested but Celestia continued to look at him with confusion.

"Fast food? What's that?" She questioned back and he gazed at her in disbelief.

"I only arrived on earth two months ago but I seem to know more about the planet than you do. What have you been doing all your life?" He was only joking but the dark gleam that appeared in Celestia's eyes took him by surprise.

"My mother only took me to five star restaurants and since she is an actress, I couldn't be out in public as much otherwise it would ruin her image somehow." She ended the topic with her sharp words and he bit back the wince that almost left his lips.

"Sorry." He mumbled and Celestia looked away before walking out of the arcade, leaving him behind for a second until he caught up with her.

The two had walked up the stairs to get to the second floor, Han then leading the way to the fast food restaurant. They entered and Celestia was taken aback by how crowded it was.
