The Story of Demon Hunter

Refuse Raw

Four days just passed.

Arthur sat in his room with a serious expression on his face. He got a question from the top. It turned out that his conjecture was correct, although not those who asked, but the mission giver (the one who hired the services) did question the existence of the Cursed Blood Umbrella, the item he obtained.

Arthur immediately gave an answer that the item was in his hands. The reason why he immediately answered was actually to test the reaction of the chairman. But who would have thought, it turns out that person doesn't care. Instead, he instead said that everything he got from the mission, whether it was a monster body or certain items was his right.

Even so, the chairman said that the mission giver, the lord noble of the territory asked about the whereabouts of the Cursed Blood Umbrella. The chairman himself gave Arthur two options. First, keep it to yourself. Lastly, sell the item to the nobles who wanted it.

Arthur himself did not care much about the weapon. After all, he had even ignored the extremely powerful Gluttony and was under contract with him. The problem was, even though the umbrella was now in her hands, the ownership rights of the umbrella still belonged to Lily.

It's just that, the umbrella also made Lily remember various bad memories. So Arthur became more worried.

‘Don't I just want to go around and be a chef? Since when did I instead do this kind of various jobs and get involved with this kind of complicated matter?’

After a moment of doubt. Arthur finally makes a protest report. He did not want to hunt down evil spirits, demons, or such creatures. The young man said that he was only interested in hunting evil beasts or some kind of monster.

After sending the report, Arthur became nervous. He paced back and forth in his room with an anxious expression. The young man felt that his decision to get angry was too careless.

‘If it is considered a defector, the worst result is being chased by six or seven platinum-level people. I should have been able to escape, right?’

At the thought of how Jotaro and Lily could escape, Arthur got a reply from the chairman.

‘OK.’

It was a short answer, but the chairman clearly agreed to his demands. After venturing out to ask for a detailed explanation, the corner of Arthur's lips twitched violently.

“Arima ..” Arthur gritted his teeth.

According to the records provided by the chairman, there is absolutely no compulsion to complete the task. Except for important missions such as special tasks, rescue missions of other members, and some other important conditions, in fact every division chairman is entitled to refuse the mission. Only, they still have the responsibility, which is to complete at least 6 ordinary missions per year or 3 difficult level missions per year.

That's their only obligation.

According to the records of the leader, the Garden of Death was very loose. Rather than carrying out many missions, they placed more importance on the alliance between division heads that were considered strong cultivators.

The role of the Garden of Death itself is only two. First, make a strong alliance. Lastly, it becomes a means of obtaining information or missions so that they can easily get rewards from there making it easier for them to cultivate.

In addition, the leader also explained that Arthur's request was not at all strange. There were 7th division heads who only joined for the alliance and only completed the annual mission as symbolic. There was also the 4th Division chief who specialized in hunting evil spirits and demons, seemingly hating them so much.

While Arima himself is actually an example in the Garden of Death. The man always completes missions around him on the grounds of raising money, but wants to help people.

“Dia? Helping people?”

Thinking of the man who looked like a victim of forced and lazy labor, Arthur was truly almost in disbelief. If it wasn't the leader himself who explained it, he would definitely think the person who said it was crazy. But after hearing the fact, the young man felt that he was fooled by Arima's appearance.

“Wait a minute? Doesn't that mean I'm closer to my dream?”

Usually Arthur searches for information about the existence of evil beasts randomly. Now, however, he would continue to obtain missions related to the evil beasts around him. That means, not only does it not have to bother looking for information ...

Arthur was paid to do what he wanted!

“HAHAHAHA! It's great! Isn't this the so-called cake falling from the sky? Amazing!”

At a moment of satisfied laughter, Arthur suddenly heard the door of his room being knocked on.

“Are you okay, Boss? Why did I hear you were so hysterical?”

“...”

Realizing that he was released, Arthur immediately pretended to cough. Right then and there, he thought of an important thing that was almost forgotten because he was happy to get good news from the leader.

“Nothing.”

Arthur then turned his eyes to Lily.

“There's something I want to talk to you about, Lily.”

***

A few hours later, in the lounge.

“What do you think, Lily?”

After explaining everything in detail, Arthur asked Lily. On top of their front desk was a red umbrella that was now a source of trouble.

“Did Lily make Arthur a hassle?”

Instead of answering, the girl asked nervously. The little fingers on his hands were intertwined, seemingly feeling guilty and afraid that Arthur would get angry.

Seeing Lily's appearance, Arthur shook his head.

“You didn't bother me at all. In addition, you only need to choose whether you want to save or throw this umbrella.”

Lily looked at the umbrella with a nervous expression. He then spoke slowly, seemingly terrified.

“Lily .. want to save an umbrella. This umbrella ... reminiscences of Father and Mother.”

Although his voice was very slow, Arthur still heard it. Moreover, he saw Lily's lip movements, so it was clearly not a mishearing.

“Then, from now on you should bring this umbrella yourself.”

Arthur immediately stroked Lily's head with a gentle smile on his face. Looking at the teary-eyed face of the little girl as she looked at the umbrella and recalled many memories, she simply let Lily vent all her emotions.

Seeing Lily calmer, Arthur said casually.

“Then, you should learn to use this umbrella, Lily. Not to hurt others, but to protect yourself and the people you want to protect.”

“Use umbrella to protect people?” lily asked while tilting her head.

“Yes. This thing is a powerful weapon and you are quite familiar with its power. After training with me for some time, you can definitely master it soon.”

Hearing Arthur's words, Lily nodded heavily. Although his expression still did not change much, but Arthur could see the determination within the girl's eyes.

“It's new spirit.”

Finished comforting Lily, Arthur returned to his room. He immediately contacted the leader to make a report. After hearing Lily's wish, the answer was already very clear.

‘Request to buy item ... rejected!’

After making a report, Arthur immediately thought of various plans. After all, he was certain that those people would not give up so easily. Even if he had a strong background, such as a disciple from Shigekuni or the division 10th division head of the Garden of Death group ...

People who are blinded by greed will not care!

Looking at the sky outside the window, Arthur's relaxed expression gradually grew colder. He doesn't care who. But in the face of people who try to screw it up ...

The young man had absolutely no intention of being gentle!
