Chapter 9: A Bloohound in the Town...
Yozora Kemono crushed the radio with her bare hands… right now, it was a complete piece of junk as the Mana seemed to be interfering with the radio waves. It was a completely harmless piece of equipment, but for whatever reason, Kemono found the thing annoying.
She finally arrived in front of her house and she slowly landed in the front yard. She quickly turned off the power as she didn't want to waste fuel unnecessarily. Kemono quickly realized that her house was under lockdown… which meant that Roberta was still okay.
Kemono unlocked the door and entered the house. She needed to look for her son, but she was also hungry. So, she decided to treat herself to a meal… even a lioness couldn't go on without food, of course. She also needed to use all the Status Points.
Kemono quickly pulled out the ready-to-go food and practically shoved them inside the microwave. 'Status Window' Kemono called out inside her mind…

Kemono tapped on her title, the last time she was kind of busy…

'I would have been disappointed if it was anything less… and I am glad that even the Archive knows that I will only bend over for my son' Kemono nodded her head with a satisfied look on her face.
Then Kemono started to increase her stats starting with her Agility. After a minute, Kemono was finally done. She wasn't sure about how many stats she needed to have to reach Level 2, but she suspected it to be 200. Just like she had thought, she couldn't raise her stats as soon as the sum of her stats reached 200 and as expected, several notifications appeared in front of her eyes.
[Your Physical Stats have reached the sum of 200]
[You have unlocked the Job function. You cannot reach Level 2 without a Primary Job]
[...Mana Archive has finished inspecting your Records. You can choose one of these following jobs-

'Hoh… Mage… dull, Mechanic… useless, Brawler… dull, Berserker… slightly less dull, Martial Warrior… interesting, Demon Queen of Flaming Purgatory… very interesting' Kemono thought as a grin formed on her face revealing her large canines.
Kemono clicked on 'Demon Queen of Flaming Purgatory' without thinking much. It was the most obvious choice according to her…
[You have chosen Demon Queen of Flaming Purgatory as your Primary Job]
[Demons are existences of Purgatory. As a Demon Queen, your path will be filled with death and destruction. Demon Queens are feared existences throughout the Multiverse.

[Kill 30 Level 1 Enemies while only using your Fists and Flames. 0/30].
[Kill 3 Level 2 Enemies while only using your Fists and Flames. 0/3].
For a moment, Kemono gawked after she saw the requirements. After only a few moments, she started to cackle in mad glee… 'This is perfect!!' Kemono thought as this was the challenge she has been looking for…
~~With Roberta~~
Roberta was somehow able to maneuver the Hummer through the chaos-filled city… it became much easier after she reached Level 1. She was pondering about leaving behind the Hummer and trek on foot, but that would have been disastrous. Not only was the Hummer a valuable resource, but it was also good for carrying things.
Roberta finally arrived in front of a departmental store. 'So, Daichi-sama came here after Mana awakened? Well, there are a lot of resources here… as expected of Daichi-sama' Roberta thought fanatically as a twisted smile appeared on her face. But there was something nagging in her mind… this departmental store was quite far from Fujimi Highschool.
'Daichi-sama's bike is here…' Roberta mused as she saw a faint yellow light entering the parking lot. This was a power related to her Title...
[The Bloodhound <S-Class>
Perk 1- You can trace anything not living which is more than 1 kg as long as you have seen it for once. It will appear in the form of a faint yellow light in your vision.
Perk 2- Shadows are your allies, if you stick to the shadows, your stealth will be boosted. This ability is directly proportional to the amount of light around your surroundings
Perk 3- You are a remorseless killer and you will do anything to reach your objective]
Roberta couldn't understand why her Daichi-sama would choose this location. 'Maybe, Daichi-sama choose another location for today's date?' Roberta wondered, but for now, she decided to sneak inside the building and check it out… 'Status Window' Roberta called out as she got out of the Hummer…

'I have grown a lot stronger, but I need to get stronger. That way, I will be able to become more useful to Daichi-sama. I can't stop myself from thinking about getting used by Daichi-sama' Roberta started to breathe heavily and a flushed look appeared on her face. Roberta shook her head to clear her mind, she could always dream later.
Even though it was dark Roberta wasn't worried about it. She had parked the Hummer in the corner of the street, and after that, she decided to stick to the shadows. The Zombies moved past her… they didn't even register the woman. It was a two-story building. Roberta noticed two guys stationed over the roofs, so she decided to climb from the other side of the building.
Roberta reached the other side of the building and pulled out a rope from her backpack and threw it over the roof. She pulled the rope to check if it was properly lodged or not… finally satisfied with the rope, she started to climb while sticking to the shadows. She quickly reached the roof and softly placed her foot. She collected the rope and shoved it under her bag.
"I can't believe that boss is getting to fuck her while we have sit here with our dick in our hands" Roberta heard one of the guys say in a lecherous tone.
"But as you said, he is the boss! He did say that we could fuck her after he was done with her" the second guy said and started to chuckle in amusement.
Now, Roberta was pretty sure that Daichi wasn't here and if he was here then he was being kept against his will. Roberta was a good maid… so Roberta would obviously save him and in the process, she would get to slaughter some humans. It was a win-win situation for her.
She slowly crept when the first guy pulled out her knife. "Did you think the boss started with the copper we caught?" The first man questioned and the second man shook his head.
"Nah… he had probably stripped her naked and he is making her watch while he r@pes that girl from the counter" The second man snickered and the first man joined him.
All of a sudden, the first man started to gurgle, the second man turned around but it was too late… something smashed into his family jewels and at the same time, something was placed over his mouth, so that he couldn't scream. The first man slowly dropped on the floor while clutching his bleeding neck, but he could only choke on his own blood.

The second man had his own problems as Roberta had knocked out his footing, making him drop to the floor. She twirled the knife in her hand and stabbed the man in his right thigh. The man howled but nothing was heard as Roberta's hand was firmly pressed over the man's mouth and with Roberta's strength stats, there was no way the man could break out.
"Now, I will give you one chance to answer… if you tell me anything I don't want to hear or try to scream, then I will slice open your belly, and then pull the skin over your face. You won't die due to bleeding or anything, you will suffocate… I am really good at doing that and I really enjoy watching someone suffocating on their own skin" Roberta whispered with a manic grin on her face.
The man peed his pants, but Roberta was expecting that kind of reaction, she pulled out her hand when he did that. "Now, how many of you are there, and what is your boss's ability?" Roberta's question was simple and straightforward as she didn't want to waste her time on these grunts.
Roberta slowly removed her hand from the man's mouth… "Fi-Five of us. There are only five of us and the boss's ability is super strength" The man gasped out while stuttering.
"How many of you have abilities?" Roberta questioned and the man shook his head.
"Only the boss has an active Skill" The man said in a fearful tone. "Pl-please let me…" That was all the man was able to say before Roberta slashed the man's neck. The man's eyes were filled with disbelief and hatred as life slowly left his body.
"Thank you" Roberta whispered with a grin and cleaned her knife on the man's clothes. Roberta slowly made her way towards the door. She entered the 1st floor and it didn't take her long to find where the boss was.
Just like she had heard from the conversation of two goons, the boss was fucking a pretty lady and another was bound to the ceiling with a chain and a pair of handcuffs. That woman was also naked. Roberta decided to deal with the boss at last. He was currently busy, so he wouldn't notice her lurking in the shadows, not that he could.
Roberta quickly searched the whole shop but didn't find any hostages, but she did find Daichi's bike inside the garage. She found several dead bodies in the parking lot. Thankfully, Daichi wasn't among them. She quickly disposed of the two goons who were guarding the ground floor. Then, she finally made her way towards the 1st floor.
She slowly unlocked the door and she wasn't surprised when the bound woman, who was probably a cop, couldn't notice her… not that it mattered as the woman was gagged too. The man was still going at it… the pretty girl he was fucking was bound to the bed and the girl's eyes were completely dead. Roberta could guess what happened, it didn't take a genius.
The girl's whole body was filled with bruises and cuts and her face was filled with bruises and tear streaks. Roberta's gaze shifted towards the cop, the woman also had some bruises around her chest and ass, but it seemed that the mob leader was yet to have a go with her.
The cop also had slap marks on her face and she closed her eyes, she also seemed to have tear streaks marring her face. Roberta pulled out her gun and pulled the trigger while aiming her gun at the man's ass. She didn't forget to use her Skill though.
[Charge Shot (First Tier Skill) <S-Class>]
[You can use your Mana to create a bullet or you could use your Mana to charge a normal bullet to act like incendiary ammo or explosive rounds]
It was a pretty straightforward Skill, but in the hands of someone like Roberta, it was insanely OP…
"Gaahhh!!" The man screamed loudly and several cracks were heard. The girl under him spat out blood from her mouth. Roberta didn't care if the man pulverized the girl by his super strength. The girl didn't seem to react to the pain, so her mind was probably broken.
The cop finally opened her eyes and noticed Roberta… the man turned around and he was pretty ugly. Now Roberta understood why he needed to force women. "You Bitch!!!" The man snarled and was about to lunge at Roberta, but once again she pulled the trigger… and this time, her aim was on the most offending thing in the room.
The man grabbed his crotch and started to howl in pain while rolling on the bed. The man glared at Roberta, his eyes were filled with utter loathing and Roberta couldn't stop herself from grinning… she was enjoying the man's suffering. "I will kill you bitch!! I don't know who you are but I will kill you!!" The man said, his voice was filled with pain.
"From where did you steal the Husqvarna bike?" Roberta questioned the man and he decided to keep his silence. Roberta once again pulled the trigger and a bullet pierced the man's shoulder. She pulled the trigger for the fourth time and his other shoulder was also pierced by another bullet. The man started to scream again, his mind started to blur due to pain.
"Guehehe… your screams are so beautiful. Keep screaming…" Roberta blurted out with a twisted look on her face.
"Wait! Wait!! I stole the bike from a parking lot near Fujimi Highschool" The man answered the question when he finally understood that the woman was probably insane and she was taking sick pleasure from his pain.
"Ahaha… too bad, you are too late… let's see if I can turn you into a beehive" Roberta gushed out in an excited tone and the man's scream was drowned by the sounds of Roberta's gunfire… this time she started to use real bullets to turn the man into a pincushion. Roberta kept grinning viciously the whole time.

Moments later, Roberta received another couple of notifications.
[You have gained the Mana of a Normal Level 1 Human. Strength +5, Agility +2, Stamina +2]
[You have gained 1 Status Point to distribute freely]
The girl on the bed was long dead and when Roberta finally stopped shooting, she could only hear some muffled sobs from the cop. The cop started to frantically shake her head with fear and resignation etched in her eyes as Roberta approached the woman.
Roberta pulled out the gag. "Please! Please! Let me go! I have a little daughter. Please I need to be there. I will do anything… please!!" The woman begged with a pleading look on her face. The woman seemed to be desperate.
"Hoh…" Roberta said and raised her gun.
The woman closed her eyes. "Sorry…" the woman muttered and a gunshot rang throughout the room. Moments later, chains dropped on the floor with a clank. The woman slowly opened her eyes, when she noticed that she wasn't feeling pain.
She noticed that she was as she was no longer bound and tears of joy started to roll down her eyes. "Thank you… thank you…" The woman thanked Roberta, but Roberta simply clicked her tongue.
"I spared you because you said that you will do anything for me…" Roberta said as she put her gun in the holster. The woman gulped in fear but she still nodded her head. "By the way, what is your name?" Roberta asked.
"Maresato Chiba…" the woman answered as she quickly gathered her clothes.
"Good, get dressed or don't, if you are into that, but we will be leaving the building in five minutes. I was too loud…" Roberta commented as she noticed that the woman wasn't scattering her clothes. Maresato Chiba realized her state of undress and she immediately blushed and started to gather her clothes.
"By the way, where are we going?" Maresato Chiba asked she finally found her clothes from a pile but she couldn't wear them anymore as the vile man had ripped them off of her body.
"Where else, to save your daughter, of course" Roberta asked with her innocent smile on her face, but she wasn't saving the woman's daughter out of goodwill… she only cared about Daichi, and saving the woman's daughter would get her a faithful servant for her Daichi-sama…
~~With Daichi~~
"Well, it is not a tank, but I can't complain. It is a fucking Humvee M1025… it is the same model that JSDF uses. It looks customized though" Daichi said as he began to inspect the vehicle. He was more than impressed.
"I have to say, Marikawa-San's friend's taste is pretty good. This thing is pretty decked… this is equipped with a deep water fording kit, it will allow this beast to function even if it is submerged 60 inches in water" Daichi explained and popped the hood of the Humvee.
"You seem to have pretty good knowledge about this car…" Saeko said in an amused tone.
"Yeah… you could say that. We also own a Hummer, but that is a commercial model and this is an army model" Daichi added and Kohta came and leaned beside Daichi.
"Odd, the rest of the vehicle is copper plated to protect from EMP, but the power system isn't" Daichi muttered with a confused look on his face but shrugged.
"It won't hinder the vehicle, right?" Saeko asked and Daichi simply shook his head.
"The vehicle is perfectly fine… and it won't have any problem until someone decides to drop a nuke" Daichi explained, Saeko didn't know what a nuke was, but from Daichi's expression, she thought it must be something very bad.
"Are you being serious? You think someone would drop a nuke?" Kohta gasped and Daichi nodded his head with a solemn look on his face.
"Tokyo's population is somewhere around 14 million. Let's consider that 10 million are people transformed, what do you think the government would do to control that?" Daichi questioned and Kohta couldn't stop himself from shivering in fear.
Saeko decided to ask Daichi or Kohta what a nuke was after they were inspecting everything else…
