Prejudice in a human world - A BNA Fan Story

Chapter 7: The escape plan

Previously in Prejudice in a human world:

[Asuka had decided to make major moves in finding a way to Anima city. He searched for leads for a passage to get there. Mio mentioned a person online who can help with Asuka's goal and goes by the alias "ItamiLovesMinks". The question now is, how will Asuka get to Anima city in one piece? It doesn't seem like it will be an easy task...]

Asuka wakes up in his bed to see Mio snuggled up to him. He rushes out of bed and stares at Mio.

Mio: *Wakes up* "Hmm...? Oh, Hey Asuka..."

Asuka: "H-Hey Mio, uh...why were you hugging me in your sleep?"

Mio: "I was? I didn't realise... Maybe I sleepwalked..."

Asuka: "Sure you did..."

Asuka's phone pings.

Asuka: "Oh, I got a response from that person."

Mio: "Right now?"

Asuka: "Well, when we were asleep but my phone doesn't send notifications if it detects no use for a while."

Mio: "What'd she say?"

Asuka reads the email.

Asuka: "She said "I'll get you to Anima city. Just get the money ready and we're good. It'll cost you 37k Yen if you're taking someone with you.""

Mio: "Do you have 37k on you?"

Asuka: "I've got half of that..."

Mio: "I'll pitch in! I have a part time job that has good pay!"

Asuka: "You sure? I wouldn't wanna put you in a bad spot..."

Mio: "It's fine, really! I'll still have a good amount left over!"

Asuka: "Alright. Thanks Mio"

Mio: "No problem Asuka!"

Haruto comes into the room, sweating

Asuka: "What's with you?"

Haruto: "T-There....There's a spider..." *Voice quivers*

Asuka: "You didn't tell me you're scared of spiders."

Haruto: "Who isn't?! They're beyond creepy man!"

Asuka: "I'll go get it."

Haruto: "Kill it!"

Asuka: *Sighs*

Asuka goes to find the spider. When he finds it, he picks it up and puts it outside.

Asuka: "Okay, problem solved."

Haruto: "Did you kill it?"

Asuka: "No I didn't."

Haruto: "Man...How can you touch those things? they're the devil!"

Asuka: "Relax, they're just trying to go about their lives like us."

Haruto: "Hggghhhh...anyway, what's the plan today?"

Asuka: "We're gonna meet up with that person I emailed, then...it's time to leave."

Haruto: "You know those beastman hunters aren't gonna let you go in one piece right?"

Asuka: "Yeah, I'm ready for that though."

Haruto: "Did she say where you're meeting?"

Asuka: "Yeah, she sent a photo of the location. It's a forest area outside the city."
