Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 63– A Alone Girl

30 minutes before–

"Here," Takana gave some grilled sausage skewers he had just bought from street vendors to the hungry little girl. The girl is now sitting on a park bench hidden from passing residents.

Tanaka deliberately took her to a deserted place and asked the girl to wait for her there. While he went looking for food. Because if he looks public, he can be bad. His strange physique could be the subject of many people's attention. The girl was one-horned and had a tail like a dragon. His eyes were red and his hair remained short brown. But in Tanaka's eyes, she was just an ordinary cute girl.

He finally remembered that the girl had fought with him before. Because it's the same Oni as before. The girl still lost at the hands of Tanaka. But at that time, he took the girl home and he found something new. It was a stealth cell that settled inside the girl's body.

Tanaka knew that the girl was still a human. It's just that a terrible experiment has turned him into a monster. For this time, Tanaka would not let the girl slip out of his grasp again. He wanted to save her and find traces of the Onirids who were still hunting humans to be made mosnters by entering a Demon Cell created by them.

"Hmm... After all, he's still an ordinary kid, right?" Tanaka smiled at the boy. He sighed, then went back to muttering in his heart. "He's great to still be able to survive with that kind of physique."

"Again."

Tanaka opened his eyes again. He was surprised to see the girl give the scar of the sausage he ate. "Again. I'm still hungry."

"Title?!" Tanaka was surprised to hear that. He reached into his pocket, then looked at the contents of his wallet. His money lives a little former he snacked at the food stall earlier. "Well, this is my last money. I can pick it up at home .. oh yes! I took him to my house. There he could eat his whole meal. Fely cooks a lot if not wrong."

"Ah, how about you come to my house, if you don't?" take Tanaka. "Let me give you a lot of food!"

"You want, brother!" The girl looked very happy when she was offered food. Cheerfully, he wanted to come to Tanaka's house right now.

"But there's one condition." Tanaka squatted in front of the girl. "Later while eating ... Tell your sister about your experience, huh?" Tanaka smiled, then raised his little finger.

The girl nodded, then returned her little pinky finger. After that he pulled out Tanaka's hand to quickly go in search of food. Maybe he could turn into an Oni again because of hunger.

But when they wanted to take her away, they were suddenly both startled by someone who came. A beautiful little boy who just passed by next to the two of them. He had collided with Tanaka, but the boy apologized and ran away in shame.

Tanaka sighed, then muttered inwardly. "Good thing he didn't see this kid." Tanaka hid the dragon girl behind his body. Then when it was safe, Tanaka jumped up high and went through the branches of the tree there. Be careful that no one else sees it.

Until he finally got home. Tanaka didn't see anyone there. The house is so quiet. Not like the last time he left her. The door is locked too. "Fely and the others where?"

Without anyone, Tanaka broke down the door with his power. In addition to being able to open, the door was also destroyed. "Duh, I'm overreacting. Fely's gonna run amok if the door breaks like this."

Tanaka didn't care about it for now. He went inside and took the girl he was carrying into the kitchen. There he opened a fridge and a food cabinet. Then take out some side dishes from inside there.

"This, here. Eat it all, huh? If you're not full yet, take it from the closet." Tanaka said then left the closet open so that the dragon girl could easily take it.

"Hmm ... I'm going to fix the door first, okay? Tar when it's full, let's confide in each other, hehe ...."

Tanaka leaves the girl alone at the dinner table. After she nodded, she ate all the food on the table. Until he is full, he will stop.

Then shortly came the sound of tools at work from the front room. The girl doesn't care. A few minutes later, he was shocked to hear a scream from a man he knew. Tanaka.

The girl got down from her chair slowly, and ran to the living room to look for Tanaka. There was no one in the room and the front door remained open. There were only a few woods, hammers and nails that were messy at the door.

"Sister! Brother!!" The girl yelled out to Tanaka without mentioning his name. Then he got out of the room and went to another room he saw. The house is completely deserted. When he returned to the kitchen, he found another door to the backyard. There he meets only Coki, his pet parrot Dylan. But the man he was looking for was nowhere.

"Ka–kakak whereaa?" The girl became increasingly anxious and her eyes began to tear up wanting to cry. In addition to being afraid of being alone, he was also afraid of Tanaka's condition because he had heard the man's screams before.

So from the backyard of the house, the dragon girl climbed over the fence, then went out to look for Tanaka. Fortunately the complex area there was still quiet, so no one saw the girl.

...****************...

"Ka–kakk ..." The girl was getting sadder because she still did not find the person she was looking for. When everything was safe, the girl got out of her place and left the park. He went to the city center which is actually a lot of residents who pass with their vehicles as well.

But while there are many buildings there, there must be small alleys there. The Dragon Girl decided to walk in a quiet place through the alleys. Then he arrived at some empty buildings that were abandoned stalls. He walked slowly there while shouting to call his brother.

But it turns out that his voice even provoked some thugs who like to hang out in the region. Five people found and approached him. The girl was surrounded by those thugs.

"Little child .. are you lost? Where's your mom?" asked one of the thugs with a grinning smile. Her c*bul face is starting to show.

"Let's get here first." The other thugs pulled the hand of the Dragon Girl, then the others started touching the parts of the child's body with an irresistible. Feeling insecure, the Dragon Girl rebelled then took out her claws and slashed at the one-handed thug holding her hand.

The thugs screamed in pain and all were shocked to see the hand piece from one of the wounded thugs. The Dragon Girl did not stop there. He changed his physique to be rather large and terrible. His Oni soul re-formed, then he roared. The thugs ran away.

But because it was mixed with emotions, the Dragon Girl who had turned into an Oni was brutally killing the humans around her. Screams of pain sprung up in the region. In an instant, the place had turned into a bloody place and appeared several pieces of human body.

After there were no more living mansuia that he saw, the Oni also ate some body parts there. But he started to stop his actions after feeling a great power from the other direction. The Oni also left that place and approached the strange aura he felt.

...****************...

"It's show time!"

Tanaka who was rampaging, instantly stuck out his entire tentacle towards Asuka. But the woman repelled him with a Frozen Ice Shield that appeared in front of her body. Then he removed the shield and retaliated against Tanaka's attack with the Ice Keristal.

Tanaka moved out of place to avoid the attack. Then he moved as fast as lightning approached Asuka. Divan has learned the attack pattern that Tanaka will use next. So before it was too late, he told his master that there would be a very strong fist pointing at him.

Asuka received the info and directly attacked Tanaka first. Better to attack, than to fend it off again. The woman who first hit Tanaka in the face until the man bounced away and hit the wall until it was destroyed. His body also plunged free from the top of the building.

When he wanted to fall, his long tentacles caught Asuka's leg and pulled her. Fall with him. Instantly some people below who saw him immediately ran scattered to get away and find a safe place. Because around there will be a battle ground for the two of them.

Tanaka and Asuka fell on two parked police cars. They landed safely using both feet, then each of them came back to physically attack each other. Hit and kick each other. Their strength was balanced, but Asuka was stronger and Tanaka only won at her speed and agility.

Divan who could not be far from his Master decided to get off the roof of the building. He ran down the stairs, followed by Dylan as well. The other Oniroshi jumped from there and landed in the garden beside the building. While Lea sat on a tree branch there while watching.

When he arrived at the door of the hospital, Divan immediately gave a buff skill to his Master. Brave and Prosycal aura. Other skills he can give if it's time. Using skills also requires a lot of energy just for additional strength for the Master.

"It seems that for now, two skills alone are enough." After giving some of his energy to impart the skill to his Master, he directly touched his aching chest as his Master also received some injuries from his opponent. Then before long, he got a message from his master through his mind. Telepathy between Darling and his Master can also be done at any time.

"Well, this is interesting. I haven't faced Tanaka for 10 years. Now he's getting stronger." Asuka said to her Darling. The woman became even more spirited when facing her opponent who had strength on par with her. "Haha .. I like this attack. Very fulfilling. How about he use his Mana, huh?"

"Sorry, Asuka. Can you end it quickly? Looks like the opponent you're facing isn't the real Tanaka. We need to find out what really happened to him." Reply Divan. Another real reason was that he was already unable to endure the pain in his chest. But it was different with Asuka. The woman, if the more she receives wounds, the more happy she is.

Weird, man.

"Ah~ Okay-okay. He always attacked physically. So now, I will end it with my Mana!"
