After Asia confessed to me she moved into home base. Of course, she didn't have anywhere to stay before, so it was perfect timing.

Koneko moved in too, which wasn't surprising given the sheer luxury of the base. And that we're dating of course.

However, this chapter is about my first demon hunt, so I'll skip to the beginning

The day started when I walked into the living room. Lady and Trish, who had also moved in, were looking through some newspapers, mainly at the same story.

"What are you looking at?"
"A story, 26 people have all been in motorcycle accidents on an old bridge"
"Since no one used it, they were going to demolish it, but due to its popularity for racers, they decided to let it slide"Trish explained
"So?"
"Now 26 people have died, witnesses are all saying the same story. Every rider who died was racing a masked man with a red motorcycle" Lady continued
"What are you thinking? Stray devil?"
"More like demon. Dante and I killed one like this a while ago. It wasn't too difficult to deal with, so we're hoping this one will be the same"
"Wouldn't that take the fun out of it?" I asked sarcastically
"Nope, because we're sending you to hunt it. The road department is giving away two million to whoever finds the killer, so naturally, we applied in your name"
"So I kill this demon and I get two mil? Sounds easy"
"We don't know if it will be that easy, but you're tough, so you should be fine"
"Where do they bikers meet up?"
"At the east end of the bridge, usually around Ten o'clock in the evening"
"I got time then"

I spent the day doing extra research and hanging out with Koneko and Asia. And when the clock finally rolled around to nine, I headed out on the Cavalier

I made it to the bridge in about half an hour, so I was early, but they were too. I parked the Cavalier and walked over to the group. I got some hostile looks, but I didn't blame them.

"Excuse me? I need to talk with your leader about the murders that have happened around here"
"And who are you? You with the police?"
"Do I look like an officer? I'm just looking to make a quick bit of cash"
"Let him speak Phil. You called them murders?"
"Yeah, that's what they are aren't they? Twenty-six people don't just die like that"
"Everyone who's investigated all this has called them accidents, it's good to know at least one person thinks they're murders"

As I turned around, I saw the girl I was talking to hop off her pink motorcycle. She didn't seem like a leader of a gang, but the others seemed to respect her, so I made sure to

"The names Rose, most of the others call me the Night Rose. My mom used to lead their group before that dick killed her"
"I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?"
"She was testing out her new gear when he showed up, they raced, and eventually she lost control. Every other kills been the same. Someone's racing, he shows up, then the other person loses control"
"Sounds like a sore loser if you ask me. So what? He only shows up during a race?"
"That's right. You're going to kill him aren't you?"
"That's the best-case scenario, people like him haven't been known to come easily"
"I want in"
"No"
"That guy only shows up during a race, and no one else here's gonna race you. You need me"
"I have friends you know, friends who are better equipped than you"
"That bastard killed my mother! Like it or not, we're racing and killing that cunt"
