=====

And so, after the encounter with my clones, they all returned to the shadows except for Yandemi.

"Well then, let's go~" Yandemi said with a dangerous smile.

I nodded and then the two of us walked towards the city out of this forest.

(Few hour later~)

The evening began to turn to night, it seemed like it was already 8 o'clock at night and the sky turned a very dark blue. The orange glow of the sunset had completely disappeared. The stars were starting to be clearly visible, and the full moon was very beautiful today.

I returned to the city with Yandemi. Now she wasn't wearing her Astral Dress, but she was wearing a simple unbuttoned black hoodie and underneath it was a white shirt with a black cat features on the front. A black shorts with a thigh socks and a brown flat shoes. She still keeps her hair style but her left eye were red by using an eye contact

From the perspective of other pedestrians, we looked like twins walking at night.

During our walk, Yandemi taught me a lot about Spirits, the origin of their powers and how to use them. Completely from my memory which I forgot lol.

Besides Mio and Tohka, the other Spirits were originally humans who bonded with gems called Sephira Crystals, which turned them into Spirits.

Reiryoku is the core energy source that fuels the supernatural abilities, Astral Dresses, and Angels of Spirits. These beings, created by bonding with Sephira Crystals, possess varying levels of energy capable of causing massive destruction known as Spacequakes.

Angels is the absolute shield that protects the Spirits. Its form, shape, and function all differ between each individual Spirit. Angels can take many forms, from monsters to swords, all of which seem to display some special power. That's why my clones can have their own weapons eh.

Astral Dresses are the Spirits' armor or clothing created by their power. They can change it to whatever shape, color, style, or appearance they want. This is why Diomi's wearing a different outfit from others.

While walking, something caught our eye. A cats cafe. Yes! CAT CAFE! A cafe and inside of it is full of CATS!

Yandemi is about to enter the cafe but I stopped her to go in.

Why?

We don't have money.

And I doubt Kurumi had any money.

When I checked my wallet, it only contained my ID card and no money.

Is Kurumi is broke?

I thought she was from a rich family?

Maybe she cut ties after being a Spirit I guess...

And without me telling her, Yandemi immediately understood and we continued our walk.

"Sigh... It's a shame that we have no money..." I sighed thinking about this money.

"Sigh... That's right..." Yandemi joins in the sighing and lamenting about our financial situation.

Maybe next time we will enter that cafe...

...

...When am I start obsessed with cats?

I know I love cats in my past life but never this obsessed.

Maybe an effect for being Kurumi

I dunno.

(Later~)

For some reason we ended up in the park.

There are fewer people here than on the street. I wouldn't be surprised if we found something suspicious here at this time. That's why we came to this place.

And while walking...

I saw something that caught my eye. And it was on a public toilet.

I pulled Yandemi's hand to take cover beside the vending machine.

When we took a little peek, it seemed we got something I had already expected.

Five dudes are in front of a public toilet, three of them are unknown because their heads are covered with hood while the other two look like young men.

What are they doing? Illegal Drug dealing.

The hooded man is the dealer, while the two young men are the buyers.

Say, why should an 'innocent' and 'cute' girl like us were secretly spying on the drug trade process?

Firstly! I need to train how to use my power. It won't be funny if I knowed as a 'Nightmare' and 'Worst Spirit' but when ended up in a encounter with AST or something lesser or powerful than them and I didn't even know how to use my power then I would be 100% lost.

Secondly! While my Angel is very powerful, it consumes a bit of my time or life force each time I uses my special bullets. In order to replenish my life force, I possesses the ability to absorb the time of anyone who steps into the boundary of my shadow.

Which means I have to took or kill my victims and bring them to the shadow to absorb their time and maintaining my life force.

Thirdly! People like them are targets for me to consume their time. Why not? They're a criminals. No matter what their motives, they are still criminals who need to be eradicated. They may be able to get around the law, but that doesn't work for me.

Other reason is I can't take a innocent person life, they have done nothing wrong. I also can't let criminals take other people's lives for their own pleasure and business.

Fourthly! They're a easy cash. That's right, If I target a criminal organization like drug dealers, yakuza or others I can rob them of their money after devouring them and went to cat cafe! Kihihihihihi!

"Yandemi-chan~ do you know what I mean?"

"Ufufu~" She only giggled, but that's mean she know too.

And then they left from the public restroom. We followed the dealers to their headquarters.

(30 minutes later~)

For almost half an hour we stalked the dealers, finally we arrived at a narrow alley and they seemed to enter an iron door which seemed to be the only way to access their headquarters.

"So that's where their headquarters are."

"Then, shall we engage~?"

Agreeing to Yandemi's invitation, we both then changed our clothes into Astral Dress.

"Wait, engagement without planning will ended up messing the whole thing and some of them would be running away without us knowing." I asked Yandemi about the plans for infiltrating this drug base.

"Hmm~ that's right. How about summoning your clones to guard the door~"

Oh yeah I forgot about that.

I called Zafkiel and uses Eight Bullet (Het) and suddenly four of my clones comes in front of us.

Those four weren't the different version of me but truly from my past few hours.

"You four, I need you guys to guard the door and alley. Don't let any of them escape and kill them immediately if they come out the door and bring their body inside."

""Okie dokie!""

""Roger roger!""

And so, they began hiding for ambush if they managed to escape.

Both of us were standing on the iron door.

"So how's the plan?" I said.

"The plan is simple~ I went in by acting like a lost girl and become their main attention, while sneaking while looking for their boss room. And then when I'm started shooting, it's a signal for open fire that'll be drawing all attention across the building and that's the moment you're sweep everyone that remains~" Yandemi said with her plan.

Well... Sounds good by the way. She become a decoy while I'm looking for their boss.

Why must find their boss?

It because in my logic, whenever there's a underground or a boss room on my stereotypes, they will always have a safe on their room that would be a lot of money there.

"Alright, I'll be hide first." I then take cover behind the large garbage container and Yandemi then executing the plan.

After a few knock and second. And then I heard the peephole in the slide and a man's voice from inside.

"What do you want?"

"U-Umm hello sir can I ask for your help? I seem to be lost and it's about to rain outside... can I take shelter for a while please..." Yandemi said with perfect acting. Those inside were definitely perverts who thought this girl would be an outlet for their lust.

I heard the peephole is closed and the door is opened.

"Alright, you may come inside." Said the guy with a creepy sound.

Now it's time.

With a small voice I said-

"Za Warudo"

The time feels distorted first but then everything went grey and stopped.

Only me and Yandemi is able to move.

She then told me to go inside and hide behind a box with minimal lighting.

I went there and took hiding first.

"Toki Wa Ugokidasu (time starts to move)"

The time went normal and then Yandemi is went in too.

The door is closed and then Yandemi and the guy went in further.

Now, time for the next step.

(Later~)

[3rd POV]

Kurumi then went sneaking while Yandemi were lead to main room filled with 30 thugs.

But unbeknownst to him, these were the seconds before he and his comrades died.

"Oy y'all! Look what I bring here!" He said while patting Yandemi's shoulder.

"Oooohhhh! What a young girl! Say, what are you doing here at night girl~" said the another thug with a pervert eye.

All lustful eyes started to look at Yandemi's body from top to bottom. A girl with pearly skin and long, black hair tied in uneven long twin tails. A dress made out of crimson and black frills, giving her the appearance of an elegant Gothic Lolita. A perfect assets and lastly that crimson eyes giving the impression that they had found a diamond in a pile of coal.

Elsewhere~

Kurumi walking past some storage while carefully not being caught.

She managed to get into a big room that looks like a place where the production is made.

Around 30 person here that five of them were a guards while the rest were an workers that producing the drug.

And in the end of the room, there is the place she's looking for.

Owners room

There it is.

Back to Yandemi

Yandemi is in the middle of the room while the thugs still eyeing her body.

"Hey pretty girl, would you mind doing what we tell you to do?" Said one of the thugs while eyeing her chest.

"Ara~ Then before that." She checked what was inside her dress but at that moment her face changed to that of a maniac.

And then, she pulled out a MINIGUN OUT OF HER DRESS!

"!!!"

A distinctive whirring sound come from the multiple barrels that start to rotate.

"I have some surprise for you~" She said with a manic grin.

Before those thugs can do anything, their action were silented by a-

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT

A countless of bullet coming out from the barrel and start tearing their flesh. Their screams were no longer heard because of the terrifying sound of the minigun. Many of them losing their limbs, some their organ, and some of their head were instantly destroyed after those bullets touching them.

Luckily four of them managed to escale because they near the main room exit door.

But that won't really save them.

"Ufufu~ Good luck getting out of this place alive~" She said before then going to look for Kurumi.

Back to the production room

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT

The sound of gunshots that echoed throughout the room made everyone here immediately alert.

"What the- there's being a raid!?"

"Come on, let's flank them!"

They were about to leave the production room but then halted when they saw Kurumi on the door.

"Unfortunately your comrades were seems already died." Kurumi said with a smile on her face.

"What the!? Who are you!" The guards said while pointing their guns.

"Oh, don't worry about me~ because you guys" she said while pointing her pistols to her head, freezing the guards like what the hell is this girl doing?! "Will be dead already. Zafkiel: Aleph"

Click-Bang!

The trigger was pulled and a gunshot was heard but the girl who should have been dead was still standing and then she was behind the guards pointing her two guns at them.

"!!!"

Bang!

Two of the guards head were destroyed.

Panicked, the rest of the guards start firing ath her but her speed were so fast that most of the bullet went into the workers instead, killing them on sight.

Using her shadow manipulation, Kurumi!s gun instantly reloaded and after the next dodge she pointing her guns again and got another head, leaving the last guards with out of ammo and trembling legs.

"P-Please d-don't kill me!" He begged Kurumi but unfortunately his head also exploded.

"Sigh... It's the first time I'm killing someone but why am I didn't immediately puked?" She wondered before went in front of the Boss room.

But she already knows whoever inside is already pointing their gun towards the door and waiting me to clumsily opening it.

Unfortunately for them, Kurumi is able to stop time.

"Toki Yo Tomare (Time, stop)"

The time distorted again and the world went stop and grey again.

I come into the room and just as I expected, there's 7 person here pointing their guns including the boss on the desk.

There, behind the boss desk, were a safe that probably full of money.

I shooted my guns to each their heads except the boss that I snatched his revolver before returning the time back.

The time went back and six of his guards head immediately get exploded while the boss gets totally scared.

Then I pointed his head with his revolver. "What's the password for the safe?" I asked him.

"H-HIIII! I-It's 6-5-0 -" But before he could finish speaking, I immediately cut him off.

"No wait, it's better for you to open by yourself." He then tremblingly turn around and opening the safe.

Inside it contains a lot of money.

"P-Please d-don't kill me!" He said while his crotch is full of piss.

Ugh

"Okay okay I won't." Then I pulled the trigger and killed him on the spot.

Maybe I'm too cruel.

But who cares.

Meanwhile on the outside~

The four thugs that somewhat managed to escape was seeing on the other side of alley.

"Huff... Huff... W-what should we do now!?" said the first thugs gasping for breath.

"Huff... Ugh- I don't care! We need to keep running befo-"

Bang!

A deafening sound came from behind the second thugs and there's a hole in his head with some of his brains are scattering on the floor and on his comrades face.

Drop

""HHHIIIIIIIIIII!!!!""

The thugs were shrieked by this with their leg went giving up and they fell back in terror.

There. Behind to their dead already comrade, stood Kurumi (clone) with a manic grin.

"Ara ara~ Why leave so early handsome~"

"That's right~" Said Kurumi on the other side. "The game's just begin and it would be a shame to leave too soon~"

And then two other Kurumi suddenly started surrounding the thugs as if they were already there.

There's no way to escape.

This is how their life ended.

Getting killed by a 'innocent' yet 'lethal' girl.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

A scream was heard on the alleyway along with a tearing flesh and gunshot were heard but nobody came.

(Later~)

[1st POV]

The four of my clones back with a escaped thugs lifeless body.

I hope they cleaned up the scene before coming here.

"Alright, good job guys! Then you allowed to leave." I said with a thumbs up.

The clones giggled before they went back to shadow.

Okay.

Now.

"Let's check with their money first." I said to Yandemi before we started overhauling their wallets and pockets.

From 67 people here including the escaped, the money I roughly got is around ¥1,000,000 and combining the ¥750,000 from the safe, then it'll be a ¥1,750,000 total.

It's pretty much big haul in my opinion. Considering this just a street-level illegal drug and not kind a large underground organization by the way.

I never get this much money this fast in my entire past or present life.

Nice.

"Well~ What should we do about this place~?" Yandemi asked.

"We'll just call the police I guess. But first." I glanced to bunch of bodies and saw a white hand with red outline taking their body into shadow to consume their time.

When I'm looking at Yandemi's left eye, I saw the her clock eye spins counterclockwise, then it means it also worl to me.

Before we leave, I took the thugs mobile phone and call the police, telling them that I some kind of rat that exposing this illegal drug locations.

After that I throw the phone away, and both of us leaving the place.

And what was the first thing we did after the massacre?

Yes.

CAT CAFE!
