The Curious Trio

Today when Adelis finished her work at the office she received a call from home, it seems that somehow Elise got lost. When she heard the news she asked me to leave her at her house as fast as I could, so I used my car and we went straight there. During the way she mentioned that it was impossible for her to leave home because she had no reason to do so, and although at the beginning our relationship was not very friendly, I can attest that this girl had changed a lot since she started living with Adelis. Gone were the days when she seemed like a weapon without feelings and now she behaved almost like any other person, exactly on those rare occasions when there are problems, but even there she behaves much more differently than when she was in the army. She arrived in front of the house and parked the car so that she could get out, she said goodbye and entered her home, from which people could be heard arguing, probably about the recent event. My work for today was finished here, so I started my car again and moved on. 

Turn into the next block and park in a parking lot, I got out of the car and I started off, my personal work was beginning. My concern is not Elise, I have already seen her fighting and I know that her safety is not a concern. My concern is the other girl, Lisa, because although I had never seen a beast like that personally, I did know them. That girl was not a human or an experiment like Elise, that girl was a demon, a monster that deceives and tortures humans. I have no idea how Adelis managed to contact her, but I am sure she does not know the risks of dealing with a powerful and unknown entity such as a demon. That demon is probably deceiving my boss and is making her believe that she might be an experience of the empire and that she deserted, but I am sure that that demon is just waiting for Adelis to lower her guard to act, now that Elise is gone at the moment is actually the perfect time for it.

I moved as fast as I could through the block to avoid going through the front of the house and I went to the park that was nearby because from it you could see the house perfectly, a good place to monitor Lisa's movements in the house. As soon as I arrive I take out of my backpack some food that I had bought before and sit down to watch the house to gather information. I started looking for a bench with a good view from which to carry out my plan, but then I noticed something peculiar. I was not the only one with the same idea, on a park bench was a young girl, maybe she was the same age. Along with her were several packages of snacks that indicated she had time here. I was watching her towards the very house that I wanted to monitor, and worst of all, she had a professional camera trying to pretend that she was taking pictures of the landscape, but they were actually Adelis's house.

She was a safety hazard, he had to stop her. By the time I realized it I was already walking towards her with the small knife in my hand. Old habits are difficult to kill, I had to stop for a moment and put the knife back, I could not kill anyone just because something could happen, I will never get to marry a reliable man if they think that I am just an assassin who kills for the slightest problem. I cannot agree with my mother or grandmother, I cannot let them be correct about me. I must show them that I can find someone by myself! 

"I can't believe I've been here two days and that brat hasn't come to play in the park yet"
"She doesn't answer my messages or calls either"
"Damn it, how do you think you'll give me information to take out these foreigners if we don't see each other to talk!"
"Could it be that her parents punished her for some reason?"
"Could it be that they noticed how many of the tickets I sent him and they thought I was a stalker !?"
"How offensive of you, I'm just doing my job!"
"I am trying to save this country!"
"Let me interrogate this little girl!" the girl on the bench starts to mutter to herself.

Hell, I think she's the journalist Adelis mentioned the other day, she's a foreigner hater. I can't let her know that I come from China, as we are basically rivals. Quick, think of a name, something very national here, something very used, how about Inari? Not that I think that's too much. How about Kioko? I think that will be fine, it will be easy to forget maybe, I go with that.

"Excuse me, are you from the area?"
"Lately my son has mentioned suspicious people in the neighborhood so the neighbors are investigating the people who come to the park"

"!!!"
"Damn it"
"Another neighbor again, is being a nosy person a sport around here?"

"Excuse me!?"

"My name is Nozomi Yasuda"
"I work as an investigative journalist"
"I am currently working on an important case so I need to be here"
"Here is my card in case you doubt my identity"
"In fact, if you allow me since you seem to live around here, could I ask you a couple of questions?"

Relax Xian, calm down, don't hit her, you can make her withdraw peacefully, remember that Adelis does it all the time, just try to be like her.

"So you are the journalist that children mention so much!"
"Now that I remember a neighbor friend of my son she mentioned something like that."
"To tell the truth, all that seemed to be quite strange that someone who claims to be a journalist comes to interrogate children in a neighborhood as quiet as this"
"Once my mother mentioned that a gang of thieves used this method to obtain information about the houses they would later rob "
"You won't mind if I call the police first to double-check your information."
"After that, I can answer your questions"
"My name is Kioko, I live in that house over there, in case you want to investigate me "Miss journalist" " I hid my lie in plain sight knowing that she wouldn't bother to thoroughly investigate everyone who lives around here. 

"What!?"
"I can't do this, if I go to the police station now I won't be in time to work in the cinema!"
"Wouldn't you rather call that phone number and talk to my company?"

"Cinema?"
"Don't you work as a journalist, why do you work in a cinema too?"
"Are you not earning enough or are you not a real journalist?"
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm just trying to take my children's safety seriously"

"Okay, you win, hire me for today"
"But just because right now I don't have time to be wasting"
"Next time I'll show you that I'm telling the truth Mrs. Kioko"
"And by the way, if you see the girl in white tell her to remember her promise"
"She has no loss, there is no way to confuse who she is." Said the journalist gathering her things and fleeing the place quickly.
