As Kaito faced off against the towering creature, its monstrous form looming menacingly before him. With lightning-fast reflexes, he dodged the creature's ferocious blows. blue lightning crackled around Kaito, illuminating the darkness with its electric brilliance
In a flash of blinding white light,
Kaito: (opens his eyes and looks up, he sees something alarming) Breasts... that's something I don't wake up to every day...
Kaito's head was on Akari's lap.
Akari: Ok, get off!! (Kaito falls)
Kaito: Owww!! Can't you at least be gentle?!!!(Sits up and rubs his head )
Akari, visibly irritated, responded sharply
Akari (angry): Oh, I'll be gentle!!
Kaito: On second thought, never mind... (looks away in fear)
Akari (Sigh)...ask your questions....
Kaito stands upright and faces her while Akari stays kneeled on the floor
Kaito: I never said I had any....
Akari: You don't need to say...from my involvement in all this, you will already have questions, so lay it on me....
Kaito: Hmm...seems I've been scouted. First question... What was that thing... and everything!? I don't get it....
Akari: Kid....
Kaito: Kid??? You practically look my age!!!!! Or younger, come on!!!!
Akari: Since when did you start seeing them...?
Kaito:.....As long as I can remember.....
Akari: Hmm, I see.... That creature is a Specs, are a mysterious and dangerous race of monsters that pose a significant threat to humanity. These creatures are not of this world, and their origins remain shrouded in mystery.
Kaito: Spec??!
Akari: They exist beyond the perception of normal individuals, making them elusive and difficult to combat. However, certain individuals possess the ability to see Specs (she stands up)
Kaito: What do you mean.....?
Akari:: But due to experiencing extreme despair and hitting rock bottom in life. This heightened state of despair somehow grants people the ability to perceive these otherworldly beings
She walks slowly beside him
Akari: They prey on the vulnerable and despairing, often targeting those who can see them with the intent to kill them. This makes individuals who can perceive Specs vulnerable to constant danger and the threat of imminent death.
Kaito looks directly at her
Akari: Humanity has managed to develop means to fight back against them.
Kaito (looks at his hand):....
Akari: You don't remember what happened in that fight?
Kaito (fight flashes before his eyes): No....
Akari: oh..... I see (was that just a fluke then?, either way, I can't let him stay here for much longer) Kid...
Kaito: I am at least the same age as you!!!!!!!!!!!
Akari: Get home and rest.... You've used something your body can't handle for a while, go home and try to forget about what happened today.... (At least until I get his situation down)
Kaito:... Ok, I'll try then... I didn't get your name....
Akari: Akari.... Akari Hoshikawa! Nice to meet you (vanishes)
Kaito: Wait, wah??? Where did she....???? Hmm...
Meanwhile,
Misuki sat alone on the city bridge, her slender figure hunched over, head bowed in despair. Tears streamed down her cheeks, glimmering in the soft glow of the streetlights overhead. Each sob escaped her lips like a whispered plea, lost amidst the gentle hum of the city below.
The cool evening breeze ruffled her hair, lifting stray strands that clung to her tear-streaked face. With trembling hands, she clutched onto the railing, her knuckles turning white with the force of her grip.
