"Excuse me, this is yours?"
Sena turned her head as the tall man's voice rebuked her. "Can I get rid of it a little? There is no room to sit". Continue the man.
"Oh, I'm sorry". Sena bowed her head at a glance many times an unpleasant sign. Immediately he pulled out his grocery bag which he placed on the bench giving the man some space to sit down.
The atmosphere was silent after the man sat down. Sena was still staring at her phone after the man had already sat down. Soon the bus that Sena had been waiting for finally arrived.
Sena boarded the bus with her groceries followed by the man sitting with her since a few minutes ago. The bus driver seemed to smile faintly at Sena who was carrying her groceries. Soon the bus was moving leaving the stop.
"May I sit here?"The voice turned on Sena. That was the man sitting at the stop with her.
Sena lifted the bag of groceries she had placed on the bench beside her to allow the man to sit down, but soon the man pulled the bag back.
"No, let me just hold it". The man then lifted up Sena's grocery bag and hugged her.
He was amazed by this man he did not recognize. Is it okay to hold her grocery bag like that? Sena is not good.
"Em, sir, let me just put that bag here, it still fits". Sena said while pointing at the little space left in the corner of her seat where there was still one bag of her other groceries.
"It's okay". The man's answer was short dense and clear. Not wanting to take a headache, Sena finally let it go, after all he also became not troubled.
Sena silently watched the person sitting next to her, her face hard to see because she was wearing a mask. Plus the hood of his jacket that almost covered his face. Sena thought she was a hoodlum because of her style of dress. But it turns out Sena was wrong, which is why people say do not judge just from the front view alone.
"Where are you going, anyway?" Sena tried to find a makeshift topic so as not to feel too quiet.
But it seems he was ignored, the person asked did not turn his head or answer in the slightest, instead just focus on facing the front. Feeling ignored Sena was silent, maybe he was considered too friendly just because he was helped to pick up groceries.
"Where's your house?" The man turned around asking after a few seconds Sena ignored.
Sena turned back. 'Not answering the question even back asking' inner sena.
"I stopped at the next stop, my house went through the intersection of that stop" Stupid. Why should Sena also tell her home address to the person she just met and even just met. Die Sena! instantly Sena thought that this man was really a bad person.
"Emm, but my house is far into the crossroads, entering the small streets and a little hard to find" Sena added. To be honest he did to fake his address, even though his house was not as difficult as it was found at the intersection of the stop.
The man did not respond but just stood still facing the front. Sena grew even more afraid that this man would actually rob her.
Bus stops at the stop to Sena. Sena picked up the grocery bag that was in the man's pocket since then.
"I'm down here. Thanks". But the man immediately pulled Sena's grocery bag back.
"I'll take you to your house"
Instantly I sat Sena shuddered. It seemed like his conjecture about this person was not wrong, he was indeed going to rob Sena.
"No, my house is not far from this stop"
"But you said your house was entering the small streets, right?" Damnit. Sena ate her own lies.
"It's dangerous that if you go home alone at night like this, I'll take you" the man was already standing with the bag of groceries still in his hand.
Sena could only resign, he had no reason to refuse the help of this man, because honestly he was also a bit overwhelmed carrying his groceries. But thinking about what this man would do to her made Sena shudder in horror and try to think positively.
The bus has passed since they got off. Now Sena is walking down the crossroad to her house with the stranger. There was no conversation, Sena was too afraid to start a conversation anyway she didn't know what to talk about.
"Shigeshogu". The man suddenly broke the silence between them.
Sena turned her head because she did not listen to what this man was saying because she was busy struggling with her own thoughts.
"Shigeshogu". The man now stopped his steps facing Sena.
"Shigesada?"
"That's my name. You keep calling me mister, do I look that old?" Said the man again then continued his steps then Sena just tailed behind him.
Apparently, he was introducing himself. But it's true, Sena just realized since earlier she always called her master. But wouldn't it be more polite to have to talk to someone new, right?. Sena just bearded after the introduction.
"Your name?" The man asked again without stopping his steps.
"Sena" Sena replied briefly.
Silence back. There was no conversation between them after that. Only the sound of their footsteps clashing with the sidewalk.
Sena's house was seen soon. Now he was confused how to get this man to leave, no need to send him to his home. He will be caught lying.
"Mr-.em, Shigesada. Up here, my house is not far away, you don't have to send me home". Though actually now they are right in front of Sena's house.
Shigesada stopped his steps "Is that right?, All right" Shigesada handed Sena a bag of groceries.
"Thank you, yeah"
Shigesada responded with a small nod. He may smile thinly, but Sena cannot see him because he is covered in a mask.
"Emm, you can go now" Sena received her shopping bag.
"You go first"
Damnit. Why didn't he just leave, now Sena had to pretend to go into a small street that was a few meters from her house. Sena hesitantly turned her head back, Shigesada still noticed. Sena scratched her head that did not itch, without hesitation she stepped steadily towards the small road so that Shigesada immediately went from the front of her house.
Sena cursed her fate today, should she be happy for a full day, but must be exposed to this kind of drama since meeting Shigesada. He had to lie to save himself.
"Huh! Just-there's". Sena turned into a small street that was not even the way to her house.
Soon Sena's back disappeared from Shigesada's sight after the girl entered that path. Shigesada turned around to leave from there. But only a few steps he moved, the cry of someone caught his attention, moreover the scream came from the road that Sena had just entered. Shigesada immediately ran towards the road checking what was happening.
Sena could barely move her legs to run. The thing he saw in front of his eyes right now was terrifying. Someone was lying in the middle of the road with a very unusual situation. He knew this person, he was a neighbor who lived not far from Sena's house. Yes, he knew this uncle well. Ozawa's.
Fresh blood pooled around Uncle Ozawa's body. His eyes and mouth opened as if something from inside his stomach had been pulled out of his mouth. His stomach was releasing a red liquid that continued to pour from the gaping wound on his stomach until the white shirt he was wearing had changed color. His hands and feet looked dry. What happened to this uncle until it got like this. Next to his head was a doll. It's a trend doll that's being bought by a lot of people, including Shigeyo. But the doll looked a little different, her face was no longer as blank as it had originally been covered with blood.
"Sena!" Shigesada's voice succeeded in making Sena jerked at her almost numb state from seeing the terrible thing in front of her eyes.
Shigesada would examine the body but Sena held her hand to avoid approaching. Shigesada took Sena's grip off her arm gently until the girl let Shigesada examine the body.
Just one step closer Shigesada suddenly something appeared in front of them very quickly and suddenly. The figure turned its back on them but was at a very close distance to the body.
"Satan's..." Shigesada was stunned as a black-winged figure with horns appeared before them.
"What's that!" Sena started panicking behind Shigesada.
Soon Shigesada realizes that he is still with Sena. He intends to immediately take Sena away from there but Sena refuses. Of course, twice he had seen this look, he wanted to make sure that this was not a dream.
"No, I don't want to go!"
"Sena, it's dangerous, let's go now"
"No, why are you telling me to leave while you stay here?! I've seen this figure twice, who are they?!"
Sena threw the grip of Shigesada's hand on his arm. He refused to leave.
"You really..can you see all this?"
Sena fell silent. He did not understand what Shigesada was saying. Is it only he who can see this figure?.
Shigesada turned his attention to the figure he called Satan. He ignored Sena and let Sena see everything to answer all Sena's statements.
"Satan!" Shigesada's voice spoke that name. Simultaneously Shigesada changed shape. The same shape as the figure, black-winged and horned.
Sena nodded almost in disbelief. This was the figure he had seen beside his house at that time. Is that Shigesada? So Shigesada is...
"S-Shige-sada..." Sena's voice raspingly called the name Shigesada stammering. He could not believe the man he had just met was not human.
The figure called Satan turned to face him. Uh! Nooo! Sena grew bigger opening her mouth and immediately closing it with her palm. His eyes were round in disbelief when he saw Satan's face. That, isn't he a handsome guy who stopped by their cafe bar this afternoon?, Inner sena.
"I remember you, miss. But it's a pity that we have to meet again in this way". Satan turned to Sena who was behind Shigesada without caring about Shigesada who was already looking at him angrily.
"Satan! Why did you come!" Shigesada raised his voice to distract Satan.
"Lucifer, I didn't come because of you. There's something I have to sort out, this is an order from King Diavolo" Satan spoke respectfully to Shigesada without any opposition.
Sena really doesn't understand the conversation between them. Wait, what was that? Lucifer? Who's Lucifer?.
"You know where I am here?" Whether it's Lucifer or Shigesada. Sena was just trying to understand.
"I've known for a long time. That Celestial youngest daughter really made you lose your mind"
"So what you say!" Lucifer pointed his long sword right in front of Satan. But got a casual response from Satan. Satan knows it's just a threat, Lucifer will never hurt his own brother.
Brother?. They are the demons who live in Devildom. He was led by King Diavolo who was the father of 7 demon brothers. Lucifer is the first son with an avatar of pride. While Satan is the fourth son with an avatar of anger.The other 5 brothers also have their own avatars. And the avatar is a characteristic as well as a pride that must always be maintained by each of them.
"You're lucky that I know this, Lucifer. I won't say this to anyone in Devildom, but still you have to be careful. Because Leviathan and the others are also starting to decide to look for you"
Satan is the brother of Lucifer who always contrasts with any decision made by Lucifer, but this time he was even on Lucifer's side.
"What's your plan?" Of course Lucifer asked that because he knew very well the attitude of Satan who always denied it but suddenly behaved well.
"You still suspect me?". Satan turned his back to Lucifer and faced the almost forgotten body.
"Nost has taken action. And I won't let their revenge go as they hoped".
Satan then reversed the position of the body and soon found a strange pattern on the nape of Uncle Ozawa's body.
Satan touched the strange triangle-shaped pattern and it soon disappeared. He also grabbed the lying doll and immediately eliminated it just by touching it and it caught fire. Sena was between shocked, amazed, in disbelief, and also frightened to see the miracle that happened right in front of her own eyes.
"This is a curse made by Nost to trick humans so that they can absorb negative energy from the human body, then get the power to become stronger".
The Devildomites knew that Nost was a lower-level demon who had been banished from Devildom because of their betrayal of the king Diavolo, that was why they were looking for negative energy to gain strength in order to avenge the entire Demon nation especially the 7 demon brothers and their father.
"The weird patterns and the dolls?" Lucifer began to notice Satan.
"Yes, this is the source where they can absorb that negative energy. I need to get rid of everything immediately"
"By killing them like that?!" Sena intervened this time. He has understood enough since he was a listener.
"I didn't kill them. But these dolls, my only job is to remove the patterns on the bodies of humans who have died from these curse dolls"
Suddenly Sena ran away from that place. His groceries he left behind and all he did was run as hard as he could. Lucifer flew after him when he noticed Sena's footsteps running away.
"Sena!"
Sena did not stop for a second until finally Lucifer managed to surpass him and Sena stopped.
"What's wrong?, are you afraid of me?"
"My friends, they have the doll"
Sena's face was very panicked and she even almost cried. He tried to catch his breath. "If what Satan says is true, I must meet them immediately, otherwise..."
Sena did not continue her words and immediately ran again past Lucifer.
Lucifer immediately flew after Sena again and then grabbed her.
"I hope you're used to heights"
"Hey! No, wait-wait...Aaaa"
Lucifer takes Sena flying high while the girl keeps shouting in Lucifer's arms.
Lucifer darted away, leading Sena to split the night wind to reach her friends' house.
