The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 4: Code: Prey Denied!

"Silence! Who the hell are you!? You dare to mock me!? Me!? Raynare, a Fallen Angel? Know your place, human!"

"Fallen Angel? What the heck!?" It was all confusing for Issei, almost like he dropped into some absurd fantasy story. Yeah... he is dreaming... this is undoubtedly a bad dream!

"Ahhh... those lines!" the appeared figure just shook his head while crossed his arms, one palm covering his face — which was hidden by a mask, akin of a Guy Fawkes face.

"You sounds like a typical villain, you know. "Oh! How dare you!?" "Oh! I will destroy you!?" Hehehehe...! If you want to be a villain, do it with style. Or it worth notch. You will only make yourself a laughing stock then."

Issei just chuckled painfully, that mockery indeed sounded that way, and fit considering the situation.

"Silence!"

"Eiii!" the boy jumped back in fear, fearing the woman will strike him down, hiding behind the fountain.

Raynare was more and more angrier. Not only her day wasted thanks to this boy, but now even his prey denied from her! She cannot bear the humiliation anymore! "You dare to mock me!? I will flay you!"

"Is that so... Fufufufu! Very interesting." Yet, despite her best attempt, the "vigilante" before she was not terrified, but was rather amused, laughing gently as he leaned on his lavish walking stick, tilting his body forward.

"Care to try? I am sure; you can amuse Me. I was looking for some entertainment in this lovely night." spreading his arm, the prey offered himself wide open, making a small curtsey.

He was wide open, yet strangely, the fallen woman hesitated. Her whole body trembled out of some unknown reason; even she can't recognize.

"Wha-What is this feeling?!" Raynare shuddered, her very bones trembled for a moment.

She never felt such fear before. It was like a higher being stared her down from far above. A tiny light in the endless abyss! It was like a literal god wanted to challenge her. A mountain against a speck of dust! Yes! And now, she was the prey and not the other way around!

"Yo-You!?"

"Nothing? Haaah! How disappointing. In that case. I request you to leave!" 'Flash!' and the man was before her, that strange mask almost pushing against her face. She didn't even blink, but can't follow his moves.

"The night is too precious to waste on a cheap woman like you," he whispered in her ear, and her eyes widened.

"I can't even follow...!" and before even the idea what happened could materialize in her mind.

"Now! As the gentleman says! Would you kindly leave?" his cane raised high, ever-accelerating, pushing against her abdomen, throwing her away like some kind of catapult accelerates a rock.

"Ugh! Ahhhh!?" 'Boom!' the wind exploded around as she right away surpassed the speed of sound, ever-accelerating.

And just like that, she was ejected from the place like a shooting star, flying high through the skies, almost like a baseball player using his bat to hit the ball, thrown away from the venue just like that.

"Hmm... Maybe I gave a little more swung than needed. No matter. I adjust next time better." muttered the man, holding his palm over the oculars of his mask, inspecting his work with great detail.

"Well... she has wings. Hopefully, she will be fine! Or not, and she will simply splatter on the ground. SPLASH!" the man gave away that morbid sound, snickering, shaking his head with a motion: "I can't do anything about it..." he was seemingly satisfied with his work.
