[REWRITING] Sense of Obsession

Chapter 10

No header again, I'll get to it sowwy

"Time heals old pain, while it creates new ones."

The radio danced with life. The stove lingered with the heat from a pan of Homura's go-to meal, lovely under seasoned eggs! And the aforementioned devil hunter shook his hips to the beat.

"You seem giddy... GASP... Have I finally rubbed off on you!?"

"Don't get your hopes up just yet, I just happened to have the day off!"

Bustie rolled his eyes, as much as one with no pupils could anyways. He was glad the man was enjoying himself, but he yearned to experience the world, see what the modern era (Late 90's Japan) had to offer.

"Mura"

"Muraaaa"

"MURA!!!!!!"

"What!? munch munch 'M eating!"

"Your phone's ringing, genius."

"Again?"

Homura hastily stumbled to the phone, attempting to scarf down his eggs at the same time.

"Hgk- hello! This is Kopoyagi!"

The radio tripped out, as to almost isolate the phone's oh so intimidating, crackling hum.

"Kopoyagi, what a treat to hear your voice."

It's Makima.

Smh day ruined 😒😒

"Oh. Ms. Makima, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I want you to go on patrol, but we need to have a talk first. Yes, I'm aware you have today off. Unfortunately the devil population is much too high to spare any hunters."

The phone slipped ever so slightly.

"Right..."

Homura just couldn't wrap his head around it. The rest of the division was out on patrol and were immensely more capable than him. What difference would he make?

"I wouldn't listen if I were youuuu!"

The hunter hushed Bustie, who pouted in retaliation.

"I'll... get on it immediately, Ma'am."

"Great! Now, I wanted to speak to you about yesterday's mission you took."
