The room was dark. As expected, the building was deserted. You’ve already heard from the local news that the Demon King that threatened Red Grave with the Underworld Tree was already defeated.
So, as instructed by your boss Dante, you went back a day later to finally meet the others, including the supposed client who offered the job. Yes, particularly him. He said that you two might get along.
But, the room was dark.
Maybe Dante forgot to pay the electric bills again.
You placed your pale pink fur coat on the sofa, seeing a familiar silhouette sitting behind the desk.
You smiled, thinking that maybe he was going to surprise you. How typical of him, considering he just defeated another Demon Lord.
“Dante, I thought you’re already paid in advance by your client?” You said, walking towards your boss, unaware of everything that took place during the fight. “Where are the others?”
The moment you laid a hand on his shoulder, you instantly felt something that sent shivers down your spine.
He’s not like this. Something is wrong,…
Despite the darkness of the room, you noticed how Dante looked up at you. The usual charm on his facial features was absent, and you saw huge bags under his eyes, like he’s been crying nonstop.
But, that was impossible, right? Dante can’t cry,…
“What are you doing here?” He said to you in a raspy voice. “You’re not supposed to be here.”
You laughed nervously, unable to believe what you just heard from him.
“You said to go back after the mission.” You answered. “You promised to introduce me to - ”
“You don’t belong here.”
“What?”
You drew back in confusion as he stood up from his chair, towering above your diminutive form.
As he knocked his chair, you gulped. Hoping it was another one of his tasteless pranks, you laughed, your voice ringing all throughout the hot and dark room.
“Okay, Dante, I’m not falling for that anymore!” you said, already feeling your confidence leave your body as he closed in on you. “And if you think I will allow you to carry me to the showers with you now, then sorry! Joke’s on you - ”
