The Spirit Hunter System
Just A Song

"What should we do now, Mr Owl?"

Being in the living room, Thomas asked Adam. The masked young man sat quietly on the sofa, seemingly contemplating something.

"By the way ..how many of your friends are in the game, Kevin?"

Adam turned his eyes towards Kevin. Seeing the boy asleep in his mother's arms, he only shook his head lightly.

"Do I need to wake her up?" ask Thomas.

"No need." Adam shook his head. "You can take Kevin to the room, Mrs Linda."

"Okay, Mr. Owl."

Linda nodded obediently, taking Kevin away from the living room. Go back to the room to rest.

Looking towards the woman, Adam felt complicated. He became somewhat confused as the woman had completely changed after fainting.

Has he really changed? Afraid? Or ... possessed by evil spirits?

Shaking lightly, Adam ignored the last possibility. The young man then looked towards Thomas. Looking at the nervous man, he said politely.

"Then I will return to the City B branch of the Mystery Department, Mr. Thomas. Today ... try to contact Kevin's friends' parents."

"If you may know, what for, Mr Owl?"

Hearing that silly question, Adam let out a long sigh.

"Of course to end all these terrible games."

"..."

Looking at Thomas who was silent, Adam got up from his seat.

"Try calling them, Mr. Thomas. Then ... I'll come back first."

***

The City B branch of the Mystery Department.

"You seem fine. Is the mission going well, Mr Owl?"

Upon returning to headquarters, Adam sees being greeted by Carole's voice in the living room. Jasmine was there too. The girl wrote something and picked it up.

'Good work, Mr Owl! You are amazing!'

Seeing the two, Adam shook his head lightly.

"The rest is not finished. Kevin is not the target of the game this time.

Nothing special happened last night. I only got the sad news in the morning. Yes ... The next game will start three days later.

Before that happens, I have to prepare everything."

"..."

Hearing Adam's words, Carole and Jasmine looked at each other. They felt sorry for Adam, but could do nothing. Not that they don't want to help, they just can't.

Instead of helping, Carole and Jasmine fear that they will hinder and become a burden that makes Adam difficult.

"I hope you solve the case soon, Mr. Owl. None of us can handle it except you" Carole said in an encouraging tone.

Jasmine wrote something then again raised the small board in her hand.

'Excite, Mr Owl! You can definitely do it!'

Looking at the two women, Adam nodded gently.

"Thank you, Ms. Carole ... Jasmine's."

After saying that, Adam pointed upwards before continuing.

"Then, I'll go back to the room to rest for a while."

Returning to his room, Adam locked the door and opened his mask.

Throwing the mask randomly, the young man dropped his body onto the soft bed. Smelling the natural fragrance, the young man closed his eyes for a moment.

"It really sucks," murmured Adam.

Although he is better than people in general, Adam himself is still a human who has emotions. In addition to being physically tired, he can also be mentally tired.

Being a part of that terrible game in a protracted manner, Adam felt a heavier pressure the longer he followed that game. It also made him feel like he wanted to finish the game.

"I'm tired" murmured Adam.

Without the young man noticing, he fell asleep.

Opening his eyes in the afternoon, Adam rubbed his eyes with a dazed expression. Picking up and turning on his phone, a lot of messages coming in.

Bella who is usually submissive even to the point of anger. Hearing the girl's crying voice from the phone, Adam actually felt helpless.

At that moment Adam saw a guitar in the corner of the room, one of the things he asked James to buy.

"Wait a minute" said Adam before going to pick up the guitar.

Sitting on a chair and putting a cell phone on the table, the young man started strumming guitars. A soft guitar sound was heard in the room.

Adam actually only bought the guitar to fill his time when he did not have a job. But he didn't get to play it at all.

Not expecting, once again he held the guitar .. It was the time he wanted to show his love to his lover.

Remembering the familiar song of his life, Adam opened his mouth.

"Heart beats fast .. colors and promises. How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall. But watching you stand alone? All of my doubt .. suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer ..."

A soft voice echoed. Plus the little technique he learned due to Suzaku's Cry's help, Adam's voice not only comforted the ears. But it also seeped in his hearing heart.

"I have died every day waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid I have loved you.

I'll love you for a thousand more~"

"..."

Singing Christina Perri's song, A Thousand Year. Finishing the song, he put the guitar next to the study table and asked gently.

"Hows it? Do you like it?"

"..."

No answer from the other side of the phone. After a while, a woman's voice was heard. Unfortunately ...it's not Bella's voice.

"How dare you be unfair!!!"

"..."

Hearing Jennifer's angry voice, Adam knew he was in trouble. Never mind making a song, they both actually do not know that he can play the guitar and sing.

Although most of the songs and singers were different from Adam's previous life, the young man had absolutely no intention of using the works of musicians in his previous life to achieve success now. After all, he himself did not like the entertainment industry either. In fact, Adam was offered to become a magazine model, even playing in a film.

"I—"

"I'll ask for an explanation when you get back!"

Tut .. tut ...

Hearing the sound of the phone being cut off, the corner of Adam's lips twitched. Sighing deeply, he said in his heart.

Then ... I must immediately find a solution and then come back after finishing all this.

Adam washed his face, drank water, then put on his mask. After that, he came out of the room and went down. The young man did not want to always spend his time in the room.

On descending to the first floor and arriving at the living room, Adam immediately felt the gazes of four people directed at him.

"What's wrong?" Adam tilted his head.

Hearing Adam's words, the four of them looked at each other. James who was the chairman of the City B branch's Mystery Department immediately looked towards the masked young man with a serious expression.

"Mr Owl .. can you still sing?"

"Didn't I tell you to buy a guitar? You can guess it at that moment," said Adam casually.

"But ..."

"But why?" ask Adam.

"I didn't think your voice would be that good."

After saying that, James looked regretful. By acknowledging Adam's guitar and singing skills, he knows the masked young man better than he thought.

While the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the usually somewhat timid Jasmine raised her right hand high.

"What's up, Jasmine?"

Jasmine instantly showed a small plank as she looked at Adam expectantly from behind the bangs covering half of her face.

'Can Cultivators live more than 1000 years, Mr Owl? How does it feel, living 1000 years? How???'

Looking at the curious girl, Adam was confused about having to cry or laugh.

"It's just a song, Jasmine ... just a song."
