There's a gas station with a store beside it, located around the forest, 32 miles from Benburg. There isn't much special about the gas station, just a place for travelers, truckers and those who lost to stop for filling their vehicle or just wanted to visit the store just for filling their tummy.
It's almost windy and foggy at the same time, the gas station itself just filling gasoline to one of the customer recently, after those customer left with their vehicle full of gasoline. A blue bright oval shaped light come up near the gas station, a figure walked out of the blue bright light, as the figure stepped on the asphalt road.
The figure revealed to be a sort of demon with fiery hair, a pair of small horns on his forehead, he also has black void eyes, he's wearing a trench coat, shirt with goat symbol, ripped trouser and pair of wooden shoes, his fiery tails poked out from his coat.
He took a deep breath and looked surrounding him, his black void eyes now focused at the gas station, there's no sign of the attendant either.
"Been awhile since i visiting Earth dimension 7 or 8 years ago, really wondered what's changed," The demon said.
Before that, he picked a device from the portal,as he picked it.The blue bright portal gone in thin air, the demon put the device into his trench coat. When he walked, the fire on his head also get wavy over the earth's wind that hit him.
"Damn, this mission almost killed me 2 dimensions before, but at least still in one piece, but still, she really makes thing really hard for me." The demon grumbled
He walked toward the store, the demon opened the door slowly and greeted with odds and ends on the shelf and the smell of the remaining food and drink that was left by the customers.
The clerk stared at the demon, he trembled over him, almost reaching his phone that located below the cashier desk.
"Calm down, dude. I'm here just to buy a drink, that's it." The demon tried to calm him with chill tone
"O-ok, f-fine. Just don't hurt me! Ok?!" The clerk become more worried despite the fiery headed demon didn't even harm him, his trembling hand almost reached the phone.
The demon ignored him, with shopping basket in his hand, he went to the beverages and booze section, grabbing several high alcohol drinks and put it on the basket, the demon even grabbed 5 packs of Chubby Chimps Chips, all of them were sour cream and onion flavored, and also a pack of chocolate peanut donuts.
He brought everything and put it on the cashier desk, the clerk who still trembled over the demon's presence eventually scanning for the demon's purchase one by one, the demon's black void eyes kept glancing at his purchases being scanned.
After that, the clerk put the demon's purchases into the plastic bag and gave it to the demon.
"That's would be 75.50$...Sir..." The clerk telling the price.
The demon summoned throw golden coins from his hand, put it on the desk. The clerk's eye widened as he looked at the two shiny golden coins on the top of the cashier desk.
"Is this....for real?! A g-g-golden coins?!" The clerk almost shrieked
"Keep the change," The demon said in low tone.
Right before the demon leave the store, he stopped at the newspaper stand near the cashier desk, his black void eyes catched a familiar figure displayed at the newspaper's front pages with headlines:
Thanks to the Plum-Haired Heroine Who Saving Whole Benburg's University from Terrorist's Assault!
The demon grabbed one of the newspaper, his eyes now widen as he looked at the photograph of the Plum-Haired Heroine who the newspaper talked, he read the bits of the news.
'...this Heroine was the one who responsible for neutralized the terrorist's threat, currently. The remaining culprits Axel (26) and Marilyn (23) has been sent to the federal prison two days after the attack, Starla Etiem Sunshina (20) has become the Benburg's hot topic for awhile, she even didn't hesitate to showing her battle armor in front of press in the Benburg's city hall...'
The demon stopped reading the article, now he looked at the clerk with blank stares for a moment.
"Y-yeah?"
"Can you tell me more about Starla? Do you know her?" The demon showed the newspaper to the clerk.
He looked at the newspaper and the demon time by time.
"To be honest...I don't know much about her, what i know so far. She's become the heroine of the Benburg, well you read it. It's been a while since she's arrived in the city." The clerk explained.
"Oh, she's in Benburg now, huh?" The demon stared at the newspaper again, "You know that city, right?"
"I do, but it's 32 miles from here, it's very far from here that you need a car to go there, dude." The clerk answered.
"Sorry, but I don't use the imperial measurement system. How much is 32 miles to kilometers?"
The clerk grabbed his phone, opened the browser and began to calculate. He showed the result of the calculation to the demon.
"It's around 52 kilometers, yes. It's still far and you need a car to go there." The clerk answered. "Anyway, what's your business with Starla? You know her?"
"I do know her, i was her old friend and i need to pick her up," The demon giving the clerk the answer.
The clerk wanted to know more about why this demon wanted to pick Starla up, but since his appearance making him uncomfortable, he decided to not ask more about it.
"Alright then," The clerk swallowed his own saliva, "If you need car, i-i-I can help you drive to Benburg if you want," he offered.
"No need to," The demon refused, "I'll go by my own."
"Ok, eh...good luck arriving on Benburg..."
The demon put the newspaper back in the stand and left the store, he ran behind the store, several feets later, the demon arrived at row of trees. He grabbed his portal device from the trench coat's pocket.
"Portal, i have to go to Benburg, dimension Earth." The demon uttered
"Benburg's coordinate is being calculated, please wait for a few moments" The device telling him.
The demon waiting, he even stomping his left feet for few times.
"Coordinates received, please put the device on the surface and wait for the blue bright light appears."
He put the portal device in the ground, he walked backward as the portal device hummed and ascended for few second, eventually creating a same portal just like when he arrived.
"I'm coming for you, Starla." The demon clenched his fist and walked toward the portal.
After he walked towards it, the portal completely vanished into the thin air.
