Aria of the Devil Soul

One Simple Calculation

Vitali was confused to see a certain red hair girl talking to one local baker. Her green dress was a mess, but she didn't seem to be bothered. In fact, she looked like she has no emotions at all. Weird coming from a girl said so nervous she would freak out, or have really strong emotions, for some little things. What happened to her?

Griffon and Shadow were taking a rest from all the seeking, Nightmare staying silent and hidden. It would be safe to not scare the shit out of Capulet people... well more than usual when Shadow and Griffon were out to enjoy the warm weather. Capulet people really needed to start getting use of them.

But it was another matter.

Then, the baker noticed the summoner and points at him, talking again to the girl. The Japanese girl seemed to thank him before turning toward the hunter, hugging a plushie against her chest. She speaks to him without hesitation.

"Are you Vitali, the Devil Hunter?" He nodded. She continues, the shines in her eyes so strange. What happened to her? "It may seem odd to you, but I'm a spiritual being name a Persona. People call me Necronomicon. My teammates just call me Necro. My human partner, Sakura Futaba, is asleep in the back of our share mind. I need assistance to know what kind of demon put us in this situation. As a hunter, you should know that kind of things." 

"First of all." Vitali finally said, unsure of what he had to think about. "I know who you are. Lavenza and Igor already asked us to find you all. You are in a totally different dimension."

"I would have noticed." She, they, still didn't show any emotion, like, at all. It was kind of creepy. "I did some information's gatherings while looking for my teammates. Even though it seemed too absurd to be true, it was the only rational thing that came to my mind while I was talking to townsfolk. Though I still don't know how and why our mysterious enemy would do that. I just assume it was a demon because some attacked us when we were thrown in town. But my calculations told me that another threat in the shadow."

"And you wouldn't be wrong." Vitali was amazed of how easy things went. "It's another devil hunter's fault. And if we still don't know how he did, we know the why." And Vitali began to explain everything he knew.

And the Persona, Necronomicon, never showed many emotions. A bit of annoyance and anger, when V said the hunter was afraid of Ren, Arsène and Sathanaël, but nothing much. How creepy it was. Especially knowing what was said about the girl.

"I understand." They said after a few minutes. "If you don't mind, I will rest a bit. Futaba's body is really achy and tired. I won't be a great help for you." Well, at least they didn't try to play pretend being Futaba. It would have been creepy, somehow.

"We can go to the Devil May Cry. You will be able to rest while looking for a way to wake up miss Sakura." It would be nice. But Necro could feel that Vitali felt odd about their way to speak. Did something was wrong? Were they looking suspicious or anything?

Not really. But, since Lavenza told them Futaba was a nervous bean, he was really surprised to see that her Persona was so cold and distant in their way to speak. Yeah, Lavenza told them this, so they could know how to react to them, being cautious and other similar things.

Oh. It was nothing. Just their way to protect themself when speaking to strangers, especially when everything was a mess. Futaba, indeed, would have freak out and hide herself in a burrow like hole... and wait for someone of the team to look for her. Active Phantom or an ally.

Them, the Necronomicon, were different from their human. They simply blocked their emotions and started to use probability, calculations, and observations to judge the danger around them. They don't want to see anything bad happening to their girl.

Fair enough. They were maybe Futaba's Persona; they were not really Futaba. That was normal for them to react differently to her.

Leading the Persona in human body to the office, Vitali wondered if other teammates would be as easy to talk as the Necronomicon. He really hoped so, starting to get really tired by all of this.
