Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

The interior of the Slayer Organization's building wasn't as impressive as Kai had imagined. He expected something straight out of fantasy, like a magic carpet flying around or a talking hat or something.

However, it was normal, just like any office building. What made it different was the people and the fact there was a market in the building that sold Talismans and other Supernatural related items.

That was a bit underwhelming, but that didn't really matter much. Kai would only visit this place if he needed something from the market.

Right now, he was in a room with Griffin, sitting on a couch across the Slayer and filling out his registration paper. The process was all modern, but the paper had runes written on the back to make sure the clause was followed.

If the clause wasn't followed, the paper would burn into ash, showing that he had broken the deal and become a troublemaker.

The clause was simple. He would be fine if he had no intent or planned to harm the other unless necessary. There was no restricting clause, and he was free to do as he pleased. Once again, as long as he didn't break the clause.

"Is this it?" He finished filling in anything necessary on the paper, such as his given name and affiliation. Because he wasn't asked to fill in his full name, he just wrote Kai on it, and his affiliation was his restaurant.

Griffin took the document from Kai's hand and scanned it before nodding. "Yeah, this will suffice. Then, you just need to insert your Spirit Power to activate the runes. You can do that, right?"

The Slayer handed the document back to Kai, which he retrieved with one hand and a smile.

"Of course I can."

Slowly but surely, he controlled his Spirit Power and inserted it into the paper. A soft pale blue aura appeared and covered the paper whole. The runes glowed brightly when his Spirit Power touched it, activating its effect.

"Hey, are you crazy?!"

However, a loud shout broke his concentration. He stopped inserting his Spirit Power and raised his head in annoyance. "What?"

In front of him, Griffin looked like he had seen horror with his own eyes. The Slayer's eyes were open wide, and his mouth agape.

"How much Spirit Power did you insert into the document?! Just a tiny bit is enough!"

Kai was confused.

'That's what I did, though?'

Noticing Kai's confused expression, Griffin was taken aback.

"You… did you not realize how much Spirit Power you wasted just now?"

"What are you saying? That was just a bit."

He didn't realize how much Spirit Power he inserted into the paper to make the runes glow brightly like that.

Indeed, for him, that was just a fraction, a bit like what Griffin said. However, for the Slayer himself, the Spirit Power Kai used was ridiculous.

"Really?" Griffin asked. His tone was curiosity mixed with horror.

Kai only replied with a small nod as he put the document that was already infused with his Spirit Power on the table.

Once again, the Slayer was forced to realize what kind of man Kai was. He had heard something from the rumors, but this was the first time he had seen something this ridiculous.

Letting out a long sigh, Griffin leaned his back against the sofa and said,

"You are unbelievable. Not only does a Phoenix take an interest in you and live with you, but you also have a ridiculous amount of Spirit Power. With the Spirit Power you wasted just now, you can activate normal-grade Talisman with no problem."

"Hahaha, well, I was told I have a big reserve of Spirit Power." Kai laughed at Griffin's words while taking in the information from what he had heard. "Well, is my registration complete now?"

"Yeah, it is complete."

"Great! Then, can I see the market right away? I am curious about the things they sold in that place."

"… Sure. I still can't believe what I have just seen, but let me accompany you to the market." Griffin rose from the sofa and took the document on the table. "But first, can you wait here? I need to give this paper to my boss."

"Sure thing. Take your time." He replied as he leaned his back against the sofa's backrest.

The Slayer nodded and walked out of the room. As he was walking, he looked at the codename section filled with something rather bothersome. He didn't have the chance to ask because of what happened earlier, but…

'Well, it's fine, I guess.'

***

On the top floor of the Slayer Organization's building, Griffin stopped in front of a room with a wooden door and knocked on it.

Without even announcing his presence, the person inside the room spoke to him.

"Come in." A soft feminine voice rang out, and Griffin opened the door.

The room he entered could be described as a rather luxurious office with a desk and some bookshelves. The window was covered in black curtains, and a table was placed between two leather couches in the middle of the room.

Behind the desk was the owner of the voice. A blonde woman that looked like she was in her thirties sat there with her legs crossed. A pure white eye was hidden beneath a black monocle, while the bright blue right eye looked at Griffin, who closed the door with a judging gaze.

A soft smile appeared on the woman's feature as she asked, "So, has the RULER registered successfully?"

"Yes." He replied from the end of the room as he showed the paper in his hand. "And he's exceeding my previous expectation. Honestly, please ask someone other than me to guide him. It's scary, you know?"

"Hahaha, you know we can't do that, Griffin. You're the most trustworthy Slayer in this branch." The woman laughed and lowered her legs, ignoring Griffin's soft grumble. "Bring the paper to me. I am curious about the codename he chose."

"Here it is," He replied and threw the paper. It flew straight to the woman as if a hidden string was attached to it.

She easily caught paper in her hand, read the content, and burst out in a laugh.

"Hahahahaha! This is really interesting!"

"That's no laughing matter, Director!"

"But it's still interesting!" She slammed the paper on the desk with a loud bam, causing it to shake, and about to make the other documents on top of it fall. "Out of all names, he chooses this one. I wonder why."

"From the information we had gathered about him prior to my contact, it seems like he likes a certain actor and followed all his movies. I don't know whether it is because of fate or the latest prophecy from the Prophet Chigusa. But he chose this name nonetheless."

"I see! Well, in that case, this is quite a fitting name." Her sole eyes looked at the codename section as her lips curled into a grin. "If he really sees that movie, then this is the perfect name for him, who we will send to kill the Boogeymen. No, maybe requesting him is more fitting."

"Yeah." Griffin agreed with what the woman said. "He's also the perfect person to be requested to kill the Boogeymen. It seems we can cross one of our agendas to deal with the Boogeymen who appear once every decade."

"Right." The woman nodded. "We can just send this man, Baba Yaga. But he's quite a fanatic, no?"

"That he is." Griffin let out another sigh. "A scary fanatic, indeed. Even his style is similar to that actor. Without a beard, of course."

"Hahahaha." The woman kept laughing loudly, uncaring of her subordinate in front of her.
