The Backpacker (Inochi X Reader)

Inochi X Reader Chapter 2D

【Two days have passed.】
[Perspective: Second Person]

　Sitting in your room, was you. Infront of you are monitors, Monitors that show footage from the cameras placed all around town. You spy on Inochi as he makes his run across the rooftops.

　"Anything happening in Okazaki street?" Inochi spoke to you through his earpiece. "No, nothing." Your hatred for monsters lingers at the back of your head as you do this job. Though if it's for food, You'll do itz barely atleast. 'Protect these Monsters... Hmph' you thought.

　Suddenly an anomaly showed up on one of the monitors. A few Kuruko's (A lower ranked group of  monsters) started running away. The camera was shaking. "Inochi?" You grabbed your walkie talkies and started talking. "There's something happening on Ironai street." You said, worried. "Huh?" Inochi asked. After a few seconds pass, another monitor started showing signs of shaking. "Inochi?"

　You spot Inochi on one of the cameras, he stopped and looked at the sun, going below the horizon. After a short moment, he swiveled his head, searching for what you may have mentioned.

　"No anomalies here, Maybe just a malfunction of the camera?" You see Inochi taking his hand and pressing the button on his ear piece to communicate. "Alright, Looks like the skies are calm tonight." Inochi confirms the safety of everyone.

　"Hmm.. alright then..." You reply. Looking at all the cameras setup above streets, alleys, and rooftops. "I'll move back to you, Okay?" Inochi ran off screen as he said his message. "Alright.." You said, trusting Inochi's words, that no anomalies were spotted.

　After some time passed, Inochi knocks on your door, you open. A sweaty, Out of breath Backpacker enters the room. "..water..." He reached out his hand, waiting for you to get something for him.

　"O-oh right..." You give him the water bottle on your desk. It was room temperature water that you've sipped once. "... ..." Inochi gulps down the entire bottle in a flash. As he did, he walked over and collapsed onto the Futon that you used. His mouthed bag drops ontop of him.

　"What now?" You ask. "I'll.. I'll rest here for a bit." Inochi said, exasperated. You've been contemplating alot about the job Inochi gave you. But you try to brush it off, as you just want the pay.

　You sit down back on your chair, lay back and sip on a can of cold cola. The sun in the sky has set, the lights on the streets are opened. The night life of Yamitsuku remains monotonous through your monitors.

　A few mpre Minutes pass, Inochi wakes and sits down next to you, on a spair chair. "So... This monitor is...?" He pointed to the one showing an alley way, the same alley way where the Kuruko's ran. "That's Jaedo street..." You said. "Hmmm..."

　 After some time, Noppo walks into the room, Carrying you and Inochi's Dinner for the night. Wrapped in plastic bag, and inside tin foil was fried meat, supposedly pork. Along with cooked rice in another bag.

　As you and Inochi put rice into your bowls, Something pops up in one of the monitors. Like last time, Kuruko's ran away from something. The first time, it wasn't visible, nor were you having the audio from that camera go into your headphones.

　This time, you can hear, and see what caused the strange shaking of the cameras. Audibly you gasp. "Inochi!" Suddenly, Another monitor that showed a street not too far from you had that exact same thing pop up.

　"What the..." Inochi slams his rice bowl down onto the desk, hard enough that both the bowl and the desk would break, they didn't. "OUTSIDE!" Inochi opens the door.
