302. The 'Guild's' daily chores!

[The Eastern Duelists: Arc 14]

Year 2020, the Innerlight City was attacked by the Demon species, the humanity was on the verge of extinction, humanity was put at risk of losing multiple lives upon the moment the God of Demons appeared out of nowhere.

Duelists in condition to survive needed to sacrifice many lives to fight the ongoing threat, and as much as many lives were lost, the humanity successfully fled the Demons away.

In the Underworld, after two of the Duelists were abducted, Katorishi Codey and Sasaki Tsuneo ventured into the Abyssal Domain, at which point their paths were blocked by the Demon's God 'Most Trusted' guards.

To reach the God of Demons and rescue their allies, Codey and Tsuneo were in absolute need of fighting, however by the end they've prevailed.

Tim, one of the allies abducted managed to escape with his ally, Kirashito Ayuka while in the the next hour himself have met up with Codey, and just as they were about to reach the ever-lasting God, their path was once again blocked by the 'higher tier' Guard.

Due to short time to escape, Tim and Codey both split and fought their enemies and just when Tim successfully defeated his opponent, he breached through the 'Domain' and came across Codey who had been struggling to fight his own father... The Demon God.

And due to their stressed existence, the God of Demons successfully pierced Tim's heart, with bare hand. Because of such unacceptable action, Codey's 'Abyssal Rage' awoke and had overcame the limits of a Half-Demon.

After ordering his allies to take Tim to a safe place as far as possible, Codey fought against the God of Demons and managed to finally put an end to this disaster.

Upon Demon God's defeat, the humankind fell into victory, however, their victory was unimaginable, as many of the Duelist lives, have faded away...

Codey was patiently waiting on the chair, for whenever Lei would finally return. ("When I heard that I'd be taking the package to a girl named Lei Zhongying... I didn't expect her to be that nice...") But finally, Codey's patience awarded him and Lei came stepping from the side, with her hair fixed and newly put on clothes.

"All right. I'm done, now... How so that Zero herself picked you to bring me the package?" Lei stood before Codey, while she was softly looking down at him. "Well... Um... I suppose I was just there... Maybe that's why... E-either way, you should check the package... And by the way, my name is Katorishi Codey." Lei grabbed the package, which was kind of small and opened it, she dragged out a piece of paper.

After dropping the box to the side, she directed her interest into reading and in the next few seconds, finished reading it. "Oh. I see!" Codey was unamused once he noticed that just a piece of paper was wrapped in. ("Did she really need to wrap it so many times. It's just a piece of paper, so why in the world would she even need a box? I feel like I just got pranked...") Codey sighed, looking at Lei.

"A Half-Demon in training. I see." Codey twitched with his eyes. "W-what are you talking about - 'Half-Demon in Training'?"

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Guild (Commission's Room) Sunday, 4:40 p.m.]

"So... Um... Zero. For what did you send Codey specifically with that package?" Kanji wondered while cleaning the window. "Oh? I wrapped in a paper so that he would bring it to Lei Zhongying." Zero dragged out a key while swiping her finger over the Commission's screen. "Wow, look at that. These 'commissions' are rather funny... Searching for a cat, helping a grandmother..." But while Zero was being busy with checking the commissions, Kanji became unamused when students continued to walk around them. "So... W-what exactly was written on that 'paper'....?" Kanji wiped the window when Zero snapped with her finger.

"It was indeed just a letter to explain the situation. Right now, Codey's probably being 'abused' with training." While Zero acted ungodly, Kanji almost flipped off the chair. "When I heard about you, I didn't expect you to be so 'energetic'." ("But then again... Ayuka's rather energetic as well...")

"Aw, come on... Why? Did you see me as somebody who wouldn't be this 'fun'? I may have the Title that surpasses your owns, but I'm still a Human... Aren't I?" Zero giggled when Kanji's arms dropped down and hung. "Yeah, but what do you mean by 'Codey getting abused'?" But at that moment, Zero made a grin and immediately terrified Kanji.

[Planet Earth - Sinuiyeong - Sunday, 4:40 p.m.]

Codey was constantly doing situps and pushups. "Come on. You've gotta do it a bit quicker! This way you'll never manage to obtain it." Codey immediately turned around with stressed face. "Hey! When I was sent here to deliver a package! I didn't sign up to be trained in this 'abusing' room!!!" Codey yelled when Lei sat on his back and read a book. "Enough procrastinating and continue working out, and hurry up."

"Excuse me! Your damn ass is heavy! And I'm not build in body strength!" Codey then continued to do pushups. "Well, if you want to reach the Abyssal Demon's Essence, this will indeed need to be your test." She smiled. "Excuse me!!! Have I ever agreed to be training for that?! It was one-off thing! I don't plan on usingi t again! Besides, how do you expect me to use the 'Abyssal' form if it's supposed to be triggered in the Underworld?!" Codey faced back at the floor and continued doing pushups. "Simple..."

Codey faced at her again. "S-simple?! Girl, you're so unfair!" Codey called, while acting annoyed. "Did I say you can stop... Keep going." Spoke Lei. "Hah! And what if I don't-" However, right in that moment, Lei began to tickle him.

"All right! All right! Hey! Stop! P-please! I'm crying!" Lei moved her fingers and began to tickle him near his hip. "Hey! That's my funny bones! Stop! Please! I get it! I'll do it! Just stop! Please!" Codey shouted while laughing out loudly, almost crying. "Good, then back to working out." Codey took some time to breathe and calmed down.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Guild (Commission's Room) Sunday, 4:40 p.m.]

"Actually... Forget I ever asked. Would you kindly help me out?" As much as Kanji was being embarrassed to ask, Zero smiled and closed the Innerlight City's map. "Sure, any time." She grabbed a sponge and helped him out.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Guild (Outdoor Park) Sunday, 4:42 p.m.]

Ellie was looking down at the water, while Sakami was bent forward to clean the pool. "... Yes... keep benting forward... Keep on doing that..." Ellie had his perverted face, while Myles stood besides him and had the same expression. "She kind of thick-" Myles continued to face at Sakami's butt when she faced backward, seeing how both of them immediately faced away. "What are you doing?" She questioned, expresionless. "Nothing! We were just scouting out the pool to see where we should clean it!" Myles claimed, having crossed arms. "We promise there was nothing involing pervertness!" Ellie spoke, but it was clear that both of them were stressed.

"Get to work and stop checking me out." She threw two sponges into their faces when both of them disappeared and began to clean the pool. "On our way!" Sakami shook her hands to wipe off the water and then turned around and walked toward the benches, both Myles and Ellie raised one of their eye and continued with their checkings. "Man, forget about Ayuka, she's much more mature..." Spoke Myles, smiling. "You bet, just look at-" However right on the moment of them trying to talk about Sakami, she faced behind them and they immediately froze once a terrifying pressure rose.

"We're doing our best!!!" Finally both of them continued with cleaning while being all around the area.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Guild (Office) Sunday, 4:50 p.m.]

Midori stood in front of Shin while he was reading an paper that she wrote. "Y-you know, erm... Why did we need to fill that 'thing'?" Midori was very embarrassed while she stood next to Ume. "It was the registery so that you'll be able to work under agency's requests." Both Ume and Midori's eyes squiggled. "What."

Upon asking, both of them felt a bit confused and feeling shy. "I thought we already had that 'allowance'." They've checked at the raised papers and were put at distraction. "No, you were only allowed to accept the orders, but you weren't allowed to work under Innerlight City's main authority. Meaning that both of you, alongside others will be receiving more commissions than normally. So make sure that you wake up at 8 am every day, apart from Sundays. No more oversleeping, especially the two of you who've been doing off over 12 pm." Both of them slapped the table and blushed. "Oh come on! What's so wrong about dozing off for longer?" They asked, shy and acting seductively. "It's unaccaptable for Spiritual Duelists to be sleeping for that long, not to worry, others will only have 2 additional hours to sleep." Shin made fun of them. "Are you kidding?! 2 hours! That's a total of 120 minutes!"

Shin made a grin smile which surprised them. "Sorry, but that's just how it must be, you slothy girls!" Both of the girls hung down their arms. "Man, you're even worse than Sakami!" After complaining, both of them walked outside the door and walked through the corridor.

"I can't believe that we've been put on 2 hour sleep time, that's unacceptable! Can't a girl sleep?!" Wondered Midori, while passing a few of the students. "Yeah, I know right! And I've enjoyed my beautiful slumbers! It was like heaven!" Called Ume, after hearing other students around them laughing and chatting.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Guild (Cafeteria) Sunday, 4:53 p.m.]

Kylin and Ayuka were both confused, once facing ahead. "Hey! You! Whatever the hell your name is! Pick that paper up and throw it in the bin!" Called Yukito while pointing at him. "Aw come on, captain! Can't you excuse me this time!" Asuka was another Lieutentant who survived. "No! Now pick it up!" Yukito ordered, while looking up at her. "How about a warm hug, first!" She reached with her chest forward and opened her arms widely. "Hey! Get back!" Yukito quickly hopped backward, when seeing a student dropping a spoon. "Hey! You! Pick that up and bring it to the cleaning service, now!" Shouted Yukito, when the boy became unamused and picked up the spoon. "Man, wyh are we taking orders from a kid?" Both of the boys laughed.

"I'm not a kid! Learn some manners!"

Yukito was one of the captains who took teaching over by the killed Lieutenants. "Hey! Yuki! Have you seen where my beautiful hair pin is?" Wondered Shion while appearing behind Yukito and grabbing his shoulders. "W-what?! Yuki?! Excuse me! You may be a captain, but you don't have my allowance to call me that!" However, Shion was just making fun of him. "Come on... You're supposed to be young, so you should have good eye sight!" Shion made a circle with her lips. "You're younger than me in Spirituality! Stop with all of these unacceptable names! Besides, you're old enough to look for your stuff alone." Yukito crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.ž

"But I'm thirsty! And a boy's hands would please me very well!" Shion giggled. "No, way! I'm not doing it-"

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Guild (Cafeteria) Sunday, 4:54 p.m.]

Yukito was searching around for a pin, while embarrassed and annoyed. "Wow... You really know how to make him do stuff." Spoke Kylin, once she blinked for a few times. "He may act mature! But he's still too nice to deny requests from others!" Shion and Asuka both giggled, while Ayuka grabbed her forehead. "This is going to be a long 'job'.... Lieutenants were much more simple to deal with then mature captains..." Sighed Ayuka, when hearing students laughing and giggling.

"Be glad. Students will love us, just watch!" Smiled Shion. "Well! Yes! Because most of the students here are straight, and you stand out too much with your beauty!" Ayuka added, embarrassed to admit it. "Oh! So you confirmed it! I am pretty! How adorable."

"Shion!!!"

The laughts were heard...
