Dreadful Encounter

"Shiranui-san, did I hear you correctly?"

That was the first question that came to Olivia's mind as she just received a phone call from the Head of the Demon Hunter Organization. It was rare enough for them to call an individual, but to outright assign a task such as this was unheard of. With a smile on their androgynous face from the other side of the phone, Shiranui gladly repeated themselves.

"The moment Hayasaka Megumi and Koritsu Shiki arrive in Tokyo, they'll be helping you with your investigation. And somehow, should they be able to find the culprit and retrieve Asuramaru...."

"....you want Koritsu Shiki to have the right to undergo a Binding Ritual with the Cursed Treasure? That's foolish, by your own words, he just joined the organization! What even brought this idea to your he-"

"Watch your tone, Olivia. Don't forget who you're talking to. The one running this organization is me, am I clear?"

Their tone never lost its cheerfulness. To any normal person, it would sound like Shiranui was just joking around and pretending to be a threat. However, the moment Olivia heard Shiranui's voice, she felt an immense shiver down her spine. Out of everyone in the Demon Hunter Organization, the person who scared her the most was Shiranui.

"Y-yes."

"I think you should be open to getting to meet him. After all, aren't you curious about meeting him? The person who killed your father."

As soon as they finished their sentence, Olivia heard Shiranui hang up the phone. As her grip on the phone tightens, a scowl could be seen forming on her face.

"Do I wanna see the bastard who killed my father? Of course I do. The only reason I joined this damn organization was to find a way to turn my father human again...only to find out he was killed. Koritsu Shiki.......once you arrive, i'll make your training hell."

~Meanwhile~
"My rank?"

As they were on a train heading for Tokyo, Shiki was in confusion as Megumi handed him a card with his name on it. When he looked at it, he saw the following things:his name, his face, and for some reason the letter "S" besides his picture.

"Yes, all executioners need to have their identification in order to access some areas that those of lower ranks can't get into. In order to even meet with Olivia von Degurechaff, you need to be B-Rank at least. Though it's highly recommended that you become a A-Rank as soon as possible if you ever plan on visiting her."

"I see. What rank are you, Megumi-senpai?"

"Hehe" Megumi laughed gleefully as if she was waiting for him to ask that question. Soon the girl took out her own ID as she held it for the boy to see. "As you can see, your amazing senpai is an A-Rank Executioner, the same rank as Olivia von Degurechaff. Though Ochita-san says it's amazing I made it this far since I only joined 2 years ago."

"Is that so....." Shiki said as his attention went to his ID card. With a sigh escaping from his lips from not understanding any of this, he simply decided to put up his ID as he was going to take a nap until Megumi and himself reached their destination. As the boy was falling asleep, Megumi's smile slowly turned into a look of worry as she remembered the boy's rank.

"Why? Why is he S-Ranked already? What made Shiranui-san make such a drastic decision?"

~2 hours later, Chiyoda Station~
"The new recruits should arriving soon."

At the busy railroad station known as Tokyo station, Olivia was seen leaning against the wall as she wore a suit and tie with her black hair not in its usual ponytail and reaching down to her butt. As she looked at the next train stopping, she saw the first two people getting off the train.

The first person she saw was a girl her age with blue eyes and long, blonde hair that reached her back as she wore a blue frock with a white long sleeved shirt, a blue tie, black trousers, and white boots.

"Pretty, if I wasn't on duty i'd probably ask her out on a date. The air around her has an intensity that only those who experienced harsh battles can obtain. This must be Hayasaka Megumi. So the guy next to her must be......"

Soon Olivia's brown eyes were met with the gaze from a cold pair of green eyes behind a frame of glasses. The boy next to Megumi wore a black jacket with white fluff at the ends of the wrists, a green shirt, black pants and a pair of white sneakers. However, Olivia felt something off about the boy as both himself and Megumi were walking towards her.

"This guy... something isn't quite right about him."

"Hey, you've been staring at us pretty intensely. Are you the person we are suppose to meet here" Shiki asked Olivia as he was honestly getting creeped out with how the girl was just staring in silence at him.

"My apologies, my name is Olivia von Degurechaff", Olivia stated as she took out her own ID and revealed it to Megumi and Shiki. "As you can tell, I'm an A Rank official who is in charge of the Tokyo Branch's security."

"Hayasaka Megumi, and just like you, i'm also an A-Rank official. And this here is my kouhai, Koritsu Shiki."

As Megumi finished her statement, she noticed Olivia staring directly at Shiki. After a few seconds passed, Olivia turned around as she motioned for Megumi and Shiki to follow her. While this happened, she was thinking to herself.

"This? This is the guy who killed my father? I can't even sense that much mana from him unlike that girl. Just what the hell were you thinking, Shiranui?"

~Meanwhile~
Mahito and Naoya were seen walking together as Mahito held several humans he transfigured in his hands. While this happened, Naoya simply sheathed Asuramaru as he looked at the curse.

"So, do you have enough humans to use as ammunition, Mahito?"

"You bet! I already sent the extra ones to Eve-chan to help speed up her awakening. We'll never get a chance like this again. Right now the Demon Hunter Organization's Tokyo Branch is at its weakest, however Olivia von Degurechaff is by no means an easy person to kill. So we have to be prepared."

Mahito looked at the humans he transfigured as he was thinking to himself. What would Megumi or even the boy that killed Merkava would be like once he transfigured them? Everytime he thought about it, the more excited he became to find out.

"Ah, what great inspiration. I can't wait to see the shape of their souls.....and twist it into a beautiful image."
