The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 4: Code: Prey Denied!

"This is devil territory! Tell me, what are you doing here, interfering with our operation? Are you the culprit behind the murders that happened recently? What have you done with the boy?"

"I am the night! I am vengeance! I am Batman!" the man chuckled low, of course, this didn't earn the intended effect, Rias just raised her brow.

"Ara! Ara! Ufufufu..." Another voice chuckled above Rias. "What a reference, Mistery-san."

"Thank you, trying my best. Miss Miko Princess!" the man bowed elegant, like a true gentleman. Giving his homage to the raven beauty floated above.

"Akeno!" Rias scolded her servant before turning back her gaze to the man.

"In that case. Koneko, please, bring in the gentleman. We will question him later..." a small girl with white hair and expressionless stare walked forward, reaching towards Kirisaki Jakku.

"Please, Senpai, do not resist." her tone was gentle but also felt sleepy.

"Oh! Such a cutie pie are you!" stated the man giddy, messing up her cream-white hair. "Unfortunately, I can't comply. A gentleman like myself still has tasks to finish before daybreak. Tasks need my attention right away! And as the saying goes: Vengeance comes before the night! I can't resist the call of my freedom! Even for a cute little princess like you."

Koneko remained emotionless, only turning her head towards her King, waiting for further instructions.

"Koneko, do it..." and the order came from the Princess of Ruin.

The girl with hazel eyes grabbed forward, grabbing the man's forearm. "Please, come along..." Trying to drag him forward, yet her best attempt only earned failure, something was wrong!

"Koneko, what's taking so long?"

"He didn't budge..." she tried her best, doing it with both of her petite arms, struggling!

'Crack!' even the hard concrete broke under their feet in her attempt, pulling the man with more and more strength. "He didn't budge..." she notified her master in the end.

"You have a quite grip, small one..." Kirisaki Jakku patted her head once more, earning a glare from the small girl.

Rias just raised her brow, intrigued about the outcome.

"Ara! Ara! Ufufufu! It seems, our tonight guest quite stubborn..." lowering herself, a girl with a long raven lock floated closer, clothed in a Miko priest outfit. "May I break him for you, Bochou?" Akeno licked her finger, looking quite sultry, her eyes mirrored some kind of cruel light.

"Just be prepared." and Rias commanded, turning her attention back to their tonight quest.

"Just come along. I promise we will not hurt you or anything. We just want some answer." tried to assure the mysterious vigilante the princess of destruction. "Murders are happening all around the town. We just want cooperation, some answers. Solve this mystery as fast as possible. Saving people from a cruel fate."

"Ah! How nice of you, devil-san? Are you even a devil acting like this?" asked back the man, tilting his head, his tone almost mocking.

"Just come along, will you? If our investigation is successful, you will receive plenty of rewards." her eyes lit up crimson for a moment, trying to exert her dominance through demonic control.

"Hypnotic ability, really?" Kirisaki Jakku pulled his top hat in his eyes. "That's not how this gentleman operates! Only cheap women use such a method." looking up in the next moment. "Are you a cheap woman, Miss Devil? Now you act like one."
