Chapter 82: CH 64: WELL, SHIT DID REALLY HIT THE FAN

Kuroha, unaware of what kind of thoughts were going through Himiko's mind, arrived at his destination.

What he saw dumbfounded him. A woman, more precisely a maid? was standing in front of Asa.

The girl was a short beautiful blue-haired girl wearing a red-trimmed pair of glasses. She wore a classical otaku-type maid uniform with a very short skirt and a pair of white stockings that reached to her high thigh and stopped where the skirt ended.

This would have been a very beautiful sight...If only the girl's face didn't have a trace of blood on it, and that she wasn't lifting Asa by his throat while giving a kind smile.

"Oh?! Seems like another rat wants to disturb my Master's plan."

The girl, as if noticing his existence, simply threw the Asa aside like throwing some trash before turning to face him. 

Kuroha didn't even spare a glance at him. For one, he knew he was still alive, and two, he was sure of one thing. If he let this girl out of his sight, he would be done in a few seconds.

The maid, as if understanding his cautious nature smiled, 

"Ohh!! Pretty good. But I don't have all the time to stare at your disguise. I would rather pass this time looking at my Master's face. Even though he seriously needs some remodeling. I guess hiding his face with dead people hands isn't good for the skin."

Towards the end of her sentence girl tilted her head to the right as if this question was really worth researching. The way she acted and spoke was as if he didn't really matter. 

Despite this, a slight trace of unease entered his heart. Then,

(Huh?)

"*Guh*!!"

He could feel himself flying, after seemingly being punched in the stomach, before hitting a wall 

*BOOM!!!*

Kuroha got out from the debris of a destroyed wall with a confused face and took a look at the cracked torso part of his armor.

(I was...Punched? How?When?)

Kuroha slowly began to rise while not missing the irony of the situation. Usually, it was him who laughed while attacking too fast for his adversary to understand what was happening.

The girl, seeing Kuroha rise without any wound sighed a little,

"*Sigh*, seem like another though one appeared. Why are rats so hard to kill nowadays? Even if the master doesn't scold me, Kurogiri-san will without a doubt do it. Please, couldn't you just die so that I can avoid being scolded?"

Kuroha looked incredulous while hearing what this girl was saying. He finally understood that in this world there were many people crazier than him. Deciding to play the game and get more information, he began to speak,

"If you want to kill me, shouldn't you at least give me your name first?"

The girl seemed badly surprised before nodding as if what he said made real sense. 

"Ooto. Forgive me for my bad manners. The old master told me that even in front of the peasant, one should always keep his manner and act with the grace of a king. Seem like I need more training. Anyway…"

Suddenly, all air of frivolity seemed to vanish, as if a switch was on, she slowly began curtsying to him with grace and elegance before opening her mouth to speak in a slow and measured voice, 

"My given name is Sumeragi Toshiko. This is the name bestowed upon me by my old master. I am the sword and the shield of my new master. "

After that, she raised with the same grace as she looked at him with indifference, 

"Now that I introduced myself, I believe that this is the most basic courtesy that you do the same? I appreciate knowing the name of those I send to eternal sleep."

Kuroha, who obviously didn't just stand here while listening to her, suddenly rushed toward her while sending a punch. 

"CALL ME CRIMSON DEVIL!"

But, just as his punch was about to connect to her face, Kuroha suddenly felt like his leg was being grabbed, then, he was thrown high in the sky.

(Again? What happened?)

While airborne, he quickly used his blood to form a rope, then throw it toward another building. After some contortions, he finally landed a little far away from the girl.

All this while, she was simply looking at him with half a smile. Her first personality seemed to come back.

"Crimson Devil is it? Truly a fitting name. Anyway, you're really hard to kill. I would have loved to slowly eviscerate you, but sadly, I'm a little pressed for time. So, let's end this farce... Die."

*CRACK*

The moment the word DIE left her mouth, Kuroha's head was instantly twisted and did a 360° turn with a loud sound.

Kuroha blacked out for a moment, before slowly falling.

Toshiko smiled with a proud look before saying, her earlier serious expression seemed to have been a lie. She began to nod repeatedly as she spoke to herself, 

"Umu, Master was right, if a rat is too hard to kill, simply twist his head. It will do the job. Now, now now, let's see this other rat, I wanted to kill him for disrespecting master, but master asked me to take him alive. *Sigh* I wonder if he will reward me."

The moment she turned to face Asa, she saw a surprising scene. The guy who should have been dead was standing close to her first target and put him on his shoulder before jumping high and running away. She tilted her head to the side,

"Huh?"

Then, as if the situation finally made sense, she realized that she lost her target. 

She crouched down while holding her head, tears beginning to gather in the corner of her eyes,

"*Sniff*. I made a mistake.*Sob* *Sob* The young master will be angry. What should I do now? I should have used my knives to pin him down."

After she calmed down a little she used her phone to call someone, 

"Kurogiri-san!"

A purple portal in a circular shape instantly appeared next to her. Once she went through it, she could see, two people were waiting for her, in what looked like a bar.

One was a white-haired man whose face and body was covered by what looked like hands. The other seemed to be made out of fog and wore a suit.

"Seeing your expression, it seems like you failed. Tomura, it seems like we have to change the plan. If we really try to attack UA tomorrow as initially intended, I fear that we will be swarmed by heroes."

Tomura angered because of this reality, began to scratch his neck, 

"Shit!!! I knew this girl would be useless. I really don't want to, but let abort the missions. Next time let search for more useful guys than the trash I assembled. It's because of their stupidity that we were found. Let also ask for more Nomu."

Toshiko, hearing what would happen, crouched down as he began wailing 

"*Sob* I'm not useless. It's not my fault. *Sob* *Sob*. Master is a meany!!! *Sob* How could I have known that someone could live after having his head twisted off? Shouldn't people die when they're killed?"

"Oh?"

The two men made an interesting sound before finally, she was right people died when they're killed, what a profound and irrefutable truth(AN: Lol) 

Tomura, who now had his interest piqued about this person who refused to die, opened his mouth, 

"You're right, You're not useless. Now, better explain the situation."

Toshiko instantly stopped crying before jumping and hugging Tomura tight.

"Thank you, young master!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!"

"SHUT UP!! LET'S GO OF ME AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. SHIIIIT!!!"

---

While jumping building after building, Kuroha couldn't help but think back to the fight and feel a shudder at how overpowered this girl was. If it had been anyone else in his place, that person would be dead. Of course, he didn't go all out since he wanted to save Asa. Still, it didn't look like she did either.

What kind of power was it? Telekinesis? No, while it seemed like it, he was pretty sure it wasn't. Perhaps it was a weaker form of telekinesis? Anyway, it didn't matter. That girl was troublesome. He just hoped that her effective range wasn't as wide as his. These kinds of invisible attacks were too deadly.

He sighed while looking bitterly at Asa before complaining 

"You guys are seriously my unlucky star. Why do I always have to meet overpowered enemies when you guys are in the picture?" 

After a while, he jumped down and landed lightly before putting Asa down in an alley and then before jumping out again. 

This alley was a meeting spot for them. It was covered by a powerful illusion made by members of the Bounty hunter guild and only those with permission could enter it without becoming lost. 

He had already sent a message, to Muji and Hina, so now everything else didn't matter to him. The most he could do was using Asa's own clothes to make a bandage and slow down the bleeding. 

Once he was sure that he was far away from Asa's position, he suddenly stopped jumping and turned around before screaming.

"Show yourself. I could feel you following me."

He looked in a particular direction with conviction, but no one answered him. The reason he didn't wait for Muji and Hina to come to take Asa was that he didn't want someone else to see them. 

"Since you don't want to show yourself, then let me do it for you."

"Wait! I mean no harm!"

Just as he was about to begin fighting, a female voice suddenly came out of nowhere. After that, a silhouette slowly began to appear before taking form not far from him.

Kuroha couldn't help but be a little wary. Finally, even though he was sure that he wouldn't receive a true answer, he still asked,

"Who are you?"

"I am…" 

(AN: And once again I let things ending on a cliff. Who appeared this time?

Lol more seriously, the next chapter will be the last of this arc. Also, I already told you that Asa and the other two bounty hunters from the MIDNIGHT EXECUTION arc would play an important role later. They already wrecked the original USJ attacks. What will happen later? Also, there will be no chapter tomorrow. Too busy. I will make it up on the weekend.)
