20th September part 2

"Toshiro, Ino and Mio will be patrolling towards west while Ishiro and Me will be patrolling towards east"

Informs Fumino as she assembles everyone in Kakoroshi's room.

"Why today? We have been here for so many days and never did patrolling once"

Asks Toshiro as he raises his hand, suspicious of the sudden patrolling.

"Recently, the amount of inhumane being occurring in this city has increased a lot, because of this, we will be having daily patrolling to minimize human casualties."

Replies Fumino, hiding the real reason.

"Fair enough"

Says Toshiro as he knows that the real reason is something else.

"The patrolling shall start from 11:30 PM. Toshiro and I will be using the common art, 'search' while the others will work on information given"

Says Fumino

"Common art?"

Asks Kakoroshi as he is confused of what is common art.

"Art which can be allowed to every representative irrespective of any household"

Answers Fumino

"Then why can't I use the arts which you can?"

"You still don't know how the art system works do you!???!"

Says Fumino with a little bit of frustration.

"I don't"

Replies Kakoroshi as he makes an innocent face with a big smile

"I will be repeating this the last time so listen carefully.

First comes the rookie arts, E level arts of every household given to representative which haven't been assigned to a household

Second is the common arts, arts which can be allowed to a representative irrespective of their household 

Third is the household arts, arts specific to only one household

And the last is the special arts, art specific to a representative which is given to them by the gods of the respective household as soon as they are assigned to a household"

"I see"

Says Kakoroshi as he finally understands how 'art' works.

11:29 PM

"Well, Its almost time"

Says Fumino, staring at the phone as they are standing in front of the hotel where people are still walking and laughing and lights are still making the place bright.

 She locks her phone as soon as the time in the phone hits 11:30.

"50 meter radius inspect!"
"50 meter radius inspect!"

Both Toshiro and Fumino uses an art as Toshiro crosses his fingers and Fumino closes her right hand into a fist. 

"WHATTTTTT!!!!!"

Kakoroshi eyes sinks in disbelief as the people who were walking on the street, disappears,  silence fills the place as even the sound of light flickering can be heard.

"As soon as a representative uses an art, neither the representatives nor the normal humans can see each other inside the 5km radius around the representative which used an art"

Explains Toshiro 

"I see"

Says Kakoroshi even though he fails to understand most.

"lets get going"

Says Fumino as Toshiro's group part ways. As they walk a considerable amount of distance, Kakoroshi heads starts hurting.

'Its almost time'

'Its almost time'

'Its almost time'

The voices inside Kakoroshi's head starts to speak again.

"It seems the voices started to speak again"

Says Fumino as she can clearly see the discomfort Kakoroshi is feeling

"Yeah it does"

"And you can't remember what it is telling you"

"Yeah"

"Its alright, for now, we have to focus on the 5 demons, we have to find it before Toshiro's group"

Says Fumino in a hurry.

"What are the 5 demons?"

Asks Kakoroshi out of curiosity.

"The 5 demons are known to be the strongest among the devil's representative, even though how devil's representative are ranked and how they get power is unknown. We have got the information that the 5 demons are the reason for attracting inhumane beings in a certain area. Among the 5 demons, there is a hierarchy.

Yodh>Tet>Chet>Zayin>Vav

For now, we have absolutely no information on any of the 5 demons. So it is crucial to capture one alive."

Explains Fumino in a serious tone.

"Shouldn't we have a group with more members for patrolling??? If they are the strongest 5 among the devil's representative then there is a chance that we two will be killed before we even get a chance to capture them"

Says Kakoroshi hesitantly.

"Ishiro. Trust in my power"

Replies Fumino with confidence in her voice as the words eases him. After they walk a few minutes, Kakoroshi checks the time in his phone.

'11:55'

'Its almost time'

The voice in his head speaks again.

"I sense a devil's representative"

Says Fumino out of the blue as she turns her head towards the left. Suddenly she starts running in that direction, taking turns after turns, Kakoroshi follows her. 

"This one...... Its strong"

Says Fumino as she starts getting closer towards the representative she senses. 

She finally reaches the destination, breathing heavily as she was running really fast. Kakoroshi reaches there as well after few seconds, also breathing heavily.

"Kakoroshi, be cautious, this one is a strong one"

Says Kia as Fumino removes her glasses with her left hand.
