Greatest Assassin
Chapter 19

"Ellard, how do you know about SR-class demons?" alice asked with a serious face.

"How come.. Do you remember that mysterious man who attacked me?"

"Yes, I remember."

"The man's goal was to wake the SR-class demon. I was almost about to see who he really was, but he ran away when I beat him."

"Are you fighting him? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"How did you meet him?"

"How can... " Aiken was beginning to think about it. As he was about to recall the incident, his head felt dizzy, he could not remember what had happened to him and the mysterious young man.

"I don't know. I only remember that, but I can't remember why I met him" he said, holding his head.

"Aiken really why? Why does he seem to be unable to remember what just happened? And he couldn't even remember the photo he had saved himself, "the inner Alice.

Alice looked at Aiken who was still in pain in her head. Alice held Aiken's hands.

"What's wrong. Don't force it if you can't remember it."

"My head is dizzy."

"Sleep in my lap. I'll accompany you" Aiken put his head on Alice's lap. Alice stroked Aiken's head gently and made Aiken slowly sharpen her eyes and go to sleep.

"Aiken, we'll be separated soon. Maybe after our farewell, I'll get away from here, stay away from you."

"After this matter is over, I'll go far. But I won't forget you."

That morning, while Aiken and Alice were having breakfast together, Aiken suddenly received a message from Alyssa. The message said Alyssa wanted to meet Aiken at her cafe.

"Why did he suddenly want to meet me? What... I'm going to start working again? Because.. this is already almost two weeks anyway," inner Aiken.

"Aiken, what's wrong? Is the food bad?" alice asked who saw Aiken suddenly daydreamed.

"No, it's very tasty. Emm... Where are you going after this, Alice?"

"Emm. I'll go home after cleaning your house."

"Heh... Are you also going to clean my house?"

"Yes. I'll clean it up. Is there something?"

"I'll be gone for a minute. Would it be okay if I left you for a while in my apartment?"

"It's okay. After I clean up I'll also go back to my apartment."

"alright. Thanks, Alice. I'm leaving" Aiken left and left behind the new Alice to wash the dirty dishes.

Upon Aiken's arrival at the cafe, he saw Alyssa sitting together with a yellow-haired, green-eyed young man. The young man looked foreign to Aiken, he approached the table.

"Have you waited so long?" aiken asked while sitting on the chair.

"Yet. Oh yeah, Aiken knows him Alex, special agent Reco researcher," said Alyssa.

"My name is Aiken, I'm not part of Reco's agency, but I'm helping with their duties" he said, bowing politely to the young man.

"Yes, I already know," Alex said slightly letting out a smile at Aiken.

"So..why did you call me here?" ask Aiken.

"Look, the captain told me that you're going to start working again for us."

"Aiken, this is not an ordinary task that you will do" Alex said.

"meaning?"

"Look, this conversation can't be done here. It'll be about 13:00 noon when you come to agent Reco's headquarters, and meet me in the research room."

"OKAY. I don't know what mission I'm gonna have to work on until we can't talk about it here. But. I'll come later," Aiken stood up from where he was sitting.

"Because I need money now. You know why, don't you, Alyssa?" Aiken smiled half at Alyssa, and Alyssa just bowed silently.

After Aiken had already left the cafe, Alex started talking to Alyssa.

"Why are you, Miss Alyssa?" ask Alex.

"It's okay. I'm fine, now let's go back to base. There's still a lot of work to do" he said, then he left first from the cafe.

Upon arrival at the apartment, Aiken was shocked when he saw her apartment looking clean.

"Huh...why does he want to clean my apartment? But.he's not only a troublesome demon spirit, but he's also good to me."

In a place with a fairly luxurious building, but the location is hidden. Being away from urban areas. The mysterious young man was in the medical room, his stomach, the scar that Aiken shot neatly wrapped with bandages.

"Well, that guy was great. He can defeat me, he can even penetrate my shield. I will definitely return the favor" said the mysterious young man, even wearing his mask.

"Sir, did you fail to take that ear cuff?" asked a man, one of the medics who had treated the young man's wounds.

"Yes, I failed. But that's not the end of my goal."

"What do you mean? You know for sure if only the essence of the power of supernatural beings can wake him?" ask the medics, who he really isn't an ordinary medic. But also the underling of the mysterious young man.

"You're wrong, Akihiko. I still have another backup plan to be able to wake her up."

"What's the plan, sir."

"Akihiko, you'll know later. For now I will still keep it a secret," said the mysterious young man as he walked closer to a room door. I don't know what's inside that door, but it's sealed. And only that young man could enter it, not even his subordinate, Akihiko could enter the room.

"What is in that room, sir?"

"I told you it's a secret, Akihiko. I'll tell you when the time comes."

In the afternoon, Aiken arrived at the headquarters of the Reco agency, which was located close to the Kahiko tower area.

"Alex, I'm coming. Quickly know what my job is," he said as he walked closer to Alex who was focusing on his computer.

"Aiken, for some reason but in the Kahabara area, there was something suspicious. There's something supernatural in there, I've been tracking it, but it's completely untraceable."

"Supernatural aura? Will there be more monsters coming?"

"Don't know. But. This aura is very powerful. It doesn't seem like a mosnter is coming. But... "

"But?"

"But the devil is coming" replied Alex confidently.

"Devil?"

"Is this the work of the masked man? But.. how can!" thought Aiken.

"Then what should we do now, Alex."

"Agen Reco is still there, trying to investigate. We'll wait until they tell us what really happened."

"What is the SR-class demon? Is he really coming?" thought Aiken.
