Chapter 4 I Ain’t Human? What Am I?
"Cooperative, I think we're heading to a great start, what's your name?" Benihime asked again, this time she had her eyes focused on Sato.
With Her eyes glowing red while she locked gaze with Sato, but this time he felt no fear so he was able to answer calmly.
"My name is Sato Inugami,".
Sato responded, An instant mummering echoed inside the room from the women seated in the room.
He noticed how they were all looking at him with a confused looks, the name he just mentioned seemed to have struck a bit of curiosity in them.
"What kind of name is that?" Isla raised a question, sending a disgusted stare Sato's way as she tilted her head to the side.
Sato wasn't sure but he felt like they were all pulling his leg, his name wasn't all that weird in fact it was a very popular name in Japan.
'What do they mean by that? Are they for real?' Sato asked himself, looking around to see their faces.
The only face that didn't seem to have any bit of confusion but instead still carried a calm expression was Benihime.
After smiling a bit, Benihime stood up from the lump of wood and walked toward Sato. her alluring dress dancing in the air as breeze blew past her.
"Sato?... That's an unsual name, and where might you come from?" Benihime asked.
She stood in front of Sato, using her hand to tilt his jaw up as she looked into his eyes with a smirk on her lips.
'What the hell am I supposed to say?' Sato yelled inward.
After panicking, he suddenly gave out a serious look, "Far away." He replied.
Benihime was a bit shocked by his response, she let go of his jaw and took a step back, "Far away?" She asked.
He immediately shook his head positively, agreeing to the question she brought up.
"I see… you must remember where you come from right?" Benihime muttered.
"No, no I don't, I was …. I can't remember." Sato groaned, placing his hands on his head as he tried to remember, "I don't know, all I remember was waking up in the foggy forest,`` He uttered.
<<Notice, Skill acquired, Deceit>>
Sato laughed awkwardly in his mind, 'That is not a skill I want to have,'.
"You bastard!"
Hina, a girl dressed in a black outfit with a touch of white spoke up. She had long purple hair and held with her two huge blades, each having a circle like shape at the end of it
Hina was standing behind Sato with her body enveloped in her magic power.
She was brimming with anger as she slowly streached out her blade that was partially taking some of her magic to embody itself.
Sato turned to look at her before slowly raising his two hands to the sky, "Wow calm down" He voiced out.
"Who the hell do you think you are? I saw you take on a grim reaper…. So stop with the lies and die already!".
Hina yelled, she tightened her grip on her double blade which came pouring with a full force of dark energy packed into it.
Sato was a bit startled, "W-w had do you mean lies, I really don't remember. Are you sure it was me you saw... It was pretty dark you kno–".
Hina immediately dashed toward him, she was so fast that some of the females in the room didn't see her move.
The whole place came flowing with a huge force of wind when Hina stopped in front of Sato with one of her blade aimed at his neck.
Sato squeaked, pulling his head backward as he felt the tip of the blade on his neck, 'Shit, she was really trying to kill me!'.
Benihime sighed before walking toward Hina and using her fingers to push the blade down away from Sato's neck.
"Learn to control that anger of yours Hina, calm yourself." Benihime uttered, before changing her focus back to Sato.
"I-i'm sorry, that was irrational, but this monkey is too shady to just believe everything he says." Hina dispatched her blades and gave Sato a deathly gaze. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
Benihime smiled, "You don't worry yourself about it, I'm sure we can clear this out".
Sato stood behind Benihime, giving out a relieved sigh, 'I thought I was a goner, even though I did see her coming, still… damn'.
"These people are no joke." Sato accidentally thought aloud.
Benihime changed her focus back to Sato, "And we are to believe that you are saying the truth?" She asked.
"Of course" Sato replied instantly, 'Damn it, how the hell did I get into this mess'.
"Akari, please do your thing," Bemihime said before walking over to the wood to sit down.
A girl with long black hair and was wearing a kimono that was complimented with the hand fan she was holding stood up from the mist of the women and stepped forward.
Akari used the fan to cover the lower part of her face before moving toward Sato. She stared at him for a bit and smiled.
"You don't have to be so nervous," She whispered to Sato.
"Yeah-Yeah… o-of course" Sato stammered as he tried to give a straight response.
Akari giggled, "I'll begin now".
She voiced out, stretching out her right hand for a sparkling white magic orb to appear, it hovered above her hand giving a mysterious vibe.
'What is that?' Sato thought to himself.
<<Notice, that is an ancient relic, called The eyes of the ancient, it's a relic used to view into the hearts of people and also forelook possibilities about certain effects>>
'Tch! You speak now? You were quiet for so long that I thought you powered off or something,'.
<<Notice, I was running analysis on the grim reaper you have stored in your dimensional space>>
'My dimension what?'.
"Please place your right hand on the orb".
Akari said, drawing Sato's attention back at her, "Oh okay… here I go then".
Sato muttered, he carefully placed his hands on the orb and the light began to shine inside the room.
"That would be enough." Akari uttered, she pulled the orb away from Sato and placed her own hands on it.
Everyone waited in their spot quietly, watching as Akari was meditating, even Sato could feel the seriousness in the atmosphere.
Akari suddenly gasped, opening her eyes and looking at the orb with confusion.
"What's wrong?" Isla asked.
"Is he our enemy? I'll gladly cut him down, if he is." Hina also asked.
'Damn it, what's with this girl and killing me!' Sato yelled inward, 'That aside, why is she so dramatic all of a sudden?' He changed his view back at Akari. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦
"Everybody settle, don't just throw questions at her." Benihime sighed, "Akari, what did you see?".
Akari spread her fans and covered the lower part of her face with it before giving a response, "The orb couldn't get a read on him, his entire existence is unknown to this world".
They all gasped and didn't think twice before standing to thier feet to pull out thier weapons.
"Normally you'd have to belong to a race or species, either you're a demi-human, human, elf, Valkyrie, God, dwarf, something, at least one of any categories, it's impossible to not belong to an my!!!" Hina yelled, trying to convince herself that what Akari said was a mistake.
"I'm afraid to tell but he isn't, his race is unknown, and although he looks human, he isn't. I've never seen something like this before." Akari muttered as she stared at Sato.
Sato was just as confused as the rest, he looked around and their eyes went from confused to terrified.
'What in the hell?' Sato walked over to Akari and held her arms tightly, "What the hell did you mean by that? I'm human…
Ain't I!" He yelled, looking her in the eyes as he pulled closer, "Come on.... answer me damn it!".
