The Second Demon

Chapter 4: Interactions

As our mc land a dropkick upon the big bad bear, snow rose all over while the ground shook due to the impact from the bear's fall.

The snow and wind pressure from said impact even reached the trees where the hunters used as a hiding place.

They had to shield their faces with their hands, especially the eyes from the pressure and snow due to how strong they were.

In fact, the bear wasn't that far away from the trees and the hunters and hit the ground harder than should be due to the momentum from its charge attack.

Yes, in case you're wondering, our mc only came to 'save the day' when the bear decided to charge upon the hunters. So our mc actually dropkick the bear while it is charging into the hunters, thus making it hit the ground harder.

The bear is also closer to the trees and hunters after its charge.

The Impact can basically be simplified like this.

(MC's dropkick momentum + MC's weight) gravity+ Bear's charging momentum+ The ground= A lotta damage.

That's the rough idea and suck it up! I failed my additional mathematics okay! I made this all up! Still acceptable in my opinion though.

Anyways, as the dust- I mean, snow slowly settle down, the hunters removed their hands and can vaguely see a big silhouette on the ground and a smaller silhouette standing on top of it.

The snow finally settled completely and they finally saw the true form of the silhouette. The bigger silhouette on the ground is the bear, it looks dead, seems like it broke its neck after falling down.

And they then turned their gaze to the smaller silhouette and saw...

A masked person!?(Our mc is still wearing his makeshift mask, although the mouth part is slightly darker from his saliva)

MC POV

I lift myself up from the 'superhero landing' stance I'm while staring at bear's corpse.

'Damn, it's even larger up close, I wonder if I could go toe-to-toe with it- Wait a minute, is it dead? OH GOD!! IT'S DEAD!'

My halted for a moment before I took a sharp hiss of breath.

'Okay, okay, calm down yamato, the bear's dead, that's fine. BUT HOW THE HELL DID IT DIE WITH ONE KICK!?'

"......se me?"

'No, no, no, on second thought. I am a 'DEMON', I should be able to do this much right? I mean even a human like Tanjurou, Tanjirou's father can kill a bear with an axe and he was frail dammnit'

"...cuse me?"

'Even Akaza by theory should be able to beat this thing to death easily with his bare hands right?'

"Excuse me?"

'But the problem is the hunters. How am I going to explain this crap to them? Am I going to say, 'Oh I'm just stronger than your average man and can kill a bear with one kick' and they'll accept that reason and we'll have a good laugh about it? NO CHANCE IN HELL! They'll be super suspicious now that they saw what I did, what should I do, what should I-'

"EXCUSE ME!!"

"YES!? WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" I yelled as I snap head towards them, my voice booming due to my nervousness and anxiousness, I blame my overthinking mode.

I saw their faces change from annoyance and confusion to shock, perhaps due to my unexpectedly loud reply?

"Sorry about that, I was feeling a slightly tired is all" I lied to them.
