“Tell me, I'll believe it.”
Jennifer looked right in Adam's eyes. Women give a firm and convincing look. The thing that made the figure in front of him finally let out a long sigh.
“It was an evil spirit. While my profession, you could say ... I am an Exorcist.”
“...”
Jennifer looked at Adam with a strange expression. Looks kind of angry. He was someone who did not believe in such a thing. So he felt that the handsome young man in front of him was making fun of him.
“Are you kidding, Mr. Adam.”
“I've said it.” Adam shrugged with an indifferent expression. “You won't believe it.”
“You want me to believe that ghosts, evil spirits, and such exist?”
Facing the stubborn Jennifer, Adam only shook his head lightly. Not trying further. After all, there was no point in saying it over and over again.
“Tell the truth, Mr. Adam. Is that a mutant creature? Artificial monsters or something? Don't say .. you are an agent of a certain secret organization.”
“...”
Adam looked at Jennifer who was half joking. The young man propped up his chin with a calm expression. Looking at the beautiful face of the woman in front of him in silence.
Sensing Adam's gaze, Jennifer felt her heart thump. With a somewhat panicked expression, he asked, “A-What?”
“Nothing. It's just, you look beautiful when you smile, Officer Jennifer.”
“A-What do you mean?” jennifer said with a red hue on her cheek.
“Nothing. Drink the latte before it gets cold. If you don't like it, I'll have the waiter replace it with another.”
“I-It's okay.”
Jennifer took a cup of latte and took a sip. Feeling the sweet and creamy sensation, the woman glanced at Adam timidly.
Adam himself took a sip of black coffee in his cup. The people from the same orphanage as him were still very familiar with what the young man liked. Feeling the bitterness of coffee with a strong enough aroma, Adam closed his eyes. Seemed to enjoy the taste.
“J-So .. would you like to tell me the truth, Mr Adam?” ask Jennifer. This time the woman asked softly, even somewhat timidly.
“Call me Adam, Officer Jennifer. And ... Can I just call you Jennifer?”
“T-Of course can .. A-Adam.”
Looking at the nervous Jennifer, Adam smiled gently. He then spoke not sooner or later.
“Actually ... I am a collector.”
“Collector?” Jennifer tilted her head, somewhat confused.
“Yes. Not a collector of antiques, but strange creatures. You must have seen Nix, right?”
“That black chicken?” ask Jennifer.
“Yes. Nix has intelligence like a child at the beginning of elementary school. Do you think ... normal chicken is like that?”
“You mean ..” Jennifer dumbfounded.
“I am an orphan. From childhood, I thought that fantasy creatures like Dragons or Phoenix existed. When I grew up, I realized it was just a story.
However, I also still believe, in this world .. there are strange creatures that we do not know. Nothing in a book does not mean nothing in reality. So, as an adult I tried to find them.
Am I so weird?”
Facing the charming smiling Adam, Jennifer felt her heart beating faster. His body temperature rose, feeling the young man in front of him so dazzling.
“You found them?” jennifer asked with an enchanted expression.
“You saw it for yourself. I'm lucky to find Nix. Also, I'm just trying to find a creature in that river. Didn't think he really existed. I feel pretty lucky.”
“Are you ... trying to catch the creature?”
“Ya.”
Adam answered briefly while taking a calm look. There was no way he would talk about the existence of the System and the hunt for evil spirits for the Spirit Bead. So the handsome young man instantly made up a lie.
“Not ... Isn't that dangerous?”
“I feel strong enough.”
“Do you not believe?”
After saying that, Adam stood up. He walked over to Jennifer. Feeling somewhat nervous, the woman also stood up. As Adam got closer, the woman unconsciously walked back slowly. Suddenly, Jennifer was shocked when her back touched the wall.
At that very moment, Jennifer saw Adam's hand slide fast. Hit the wall on the right and left with the palm of the hand, making it locked and unable to dodge. Jennifer felt her breathing grow tight. Then, their two faces were close together.
“I asked ... Do you not believe?”
Seeing her face reflected in Adam's beautiful eyes, Jennifer muttered softly.
“A-I believe.”
Jennifer looked up slightly, seeing Adam's face getting closer, the woman closed her eyes.
Clack!
The sound of an open door rang out in the ear. The figure of the waiter re-entered the room while carrying the main dish with a friendly smile on his face. However, the smile on the servant's face instantly changed.
“M-I'm sorry! I ... I didn't see anything!”
Looking at the waiter, Jennifer was stunned. For some reason, he felt a bit angry and irritated at her now. The woman saw Adam retreat and pretended to cough.
“Let's just put it on the table. Next time, knock on the door before entering. That is ethics.”
Hearing Adam's words, the servant girl nodded like a woodpecker.
“S-I understand, Boss!”
“You can go.”
“B-Good, Boss!”
Seeing the girl leave the room, the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit awkward. Jennifer's voice that pretended to be angry was then heard.
“A-I believe you're strong. I didn't ask because I cared. I'm just curious! You have to remember that, Adam!”
“Iya.” Adam smiled casually.
“Hmph!” Jennifer snorted coldly, pretending to be angry to cover up her embarrassment.
“How about eating first?” ask Adam softly.
“If you insist, I can only obey him.” Jennifer pretends to be forced, but ends up eating with Adam.
After the two finished the meal on their plates, the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit awkward. This time, Adam's voice was heard.
“Can I ask for your help, Jennifer?” ask Adam.
“A-What? If it's dinner or something, I don't have time.” Jennifer turned her eyes.
“I want you to close the river area where the children disappeared for a while. Other than not wanting to be seen while trying to search, I don't want any other victims.
Is ... can it?”
“...”
Jennifer was quiet for a moment. He then glanced at Adam.
“Normally, it can't be done. But if you meet the right person, I can do it for you. Nah! I mean, for the safety of the people around!
B-But you must successfully capture or kill the creature.”
“Thank you, Jennifer.” Adam smiled gently.
“Hmph! I told you, I didn't do it for you. One week ... is one week enough?”
“That's more than enough,” Adam replied.
Despite looking calm, Adam was actually very nervous in his heart. He was flirting with the woman in front of him. The young man also idly asked about it. But who would have thought Jennifer could actually do it.
That means, Jennifer has relatives with a fairly high rank in the police force. After all, such a thing was not something that a beginner like that woman could do.
Adam felt confused to be happy or sad. It was just that, he was questioning something in his heart.
Isn't this a bit outrageous? This ... could be said to be an abuse of power, right?
