Shun opened the door. He look left and right before walking towards the middle table where Miko is.
"Five Special Chocolate Sundae!" Shun said to the nearby waitress before sitting down in the opposite side of Miko.
"You want some? My treat" Shun asked.
"borgir and coke" Miko answered.
"And one burger and coke!" Shun said to the waitress. After that the waitress hurriedly run towards the kitchen.
"Now then! Let's start" Shun said with a smile.
"Since when did you started seeing them?" Shun asked.
"A few months ago" Miko answered.
"Did you encountered something weird or something special before seeing them?" Shun asked since getting that power as a normal human being is impossible not, entirely impossible as you can sold something equivalent exchange for that powers but no one is crazy enough to sold their souls to the devil or maybe her powers has just manifested.
"No, I didn't"
"That day was rainy day I was waiting for the bus as suddenly a scary thing approach me scaring the shit out of me, luckily that thing immediately gone leaving me behind unharmed" Miko said her story Shun. How her everyday life was scary lying down in the bed as a monster lie down besides her. Bathing with a monster in the night. Eating while a monster was looking at her. Overall it was one of the worst way to live as human being as you won't have any freedom at all.
Shun just eating there while listening quitely at her.
Few minutes later.
"Thank you for listening" Miko said.
Shun handed out a tissue to her because tears appeared in her eyes. Miko accepted the tissue and gently wipe the tears in her eyes.
"Ahh! I never feel this light ever since I started seeing those guys! Thank you!" Miko said as she stretch her hand in the air.
"!!!" Miko notice something strange and slightly look at the corner of her eyes. She can see that a something is standing besides their table. She can see that it is wearing a black suit, black pants and a towel in its hand. Its face was all bone and has two horns in its head. It has no eyes but Miko can sense that it is looking at her.
Miko started shaking fear has she keeps looking at Shun who was eating his Special chocolate sundae.
Shun notice her gaze and see what's going on. He look at the thing in their side of the table and look again to Miko.
"Its ok, this guy has been here ever since you started talking, that thing still hasn't attack you maybe this guy is not bad like others" Shun said.
Miko shakes with fear as her head slowly turning to that thing. She finally got the courage to look at it straight in the eyes.
"See? This guy won't attack y-" Shun said but suddenly cut off by loud roar the that thing has produced.
ROOOOOAAAAAAAR
It roar loudly as it can in front of Miko. Miko's face didn't change from that roar but her eyes stared forming tears as it slowly walks to her cheeks and jumped down in the ground.
"Stay down" Shun said with an irritated voice. It's roar almost damaged Shun's eardrums. He simple released his spiritual energy pressuring every spirits in the restaurant into the ground with their whole body sticking like a glue. Some of the weaker spirits was instantly annihilated because of the overbearing pressure. The monster who roared was now below hugging the ground.
Miko was looking at the Shun with awe expression. She couldn't feel the pressure that Shun was releasing but she can see the spirits are dying one by one.
"Now let's get on to the part where I'm gonna help you" Shun said as he put aside the unfinished Chocolate Sundae.
"I have two good offers that I will give you"
"For my first offer!"
"I can help you get rid that spiritual powers of yours and you will never ever gonna see those spirits ever again"
"Really?! You can do that?! You can really do that?" Miko said as she stands up and lean towards to Shun. Seeing the seriousness in Shun's face she then get back and sit properly.
"Yes, I can do that."
"Not guaranteed that it will work since I need to learn it before doing something dangerous like extracting spiritual energies from people" Shun said as he take a sip on the water that was on a glass.
"What about the other offer?" Miko asked.
"About that..." Shun takes out something in his GoB under the table. He then showed it toward Miko. It a was a golden box it's size was only slightly bigger than the palm of his hand.
"Be mine" Shun said as he opened the box revealing a simple sparkling two golden ring.
"...What?" Miko's brain stopped for working a sec before uttering a word.
Craaaack
A sound of glass breaking sounded in the side of Shun. Shun felt an ominous aura on his side and look at the corner of his eyes. His eyes goes back to Miko whose finally out of shocked.
"*cough* I mean be my subordinate" Shun said as he scratched his head.
"What do you mean by that? Why would I be your subordinate?" Miko couldn't helped but asked. She couldn't under what he means.
"You already seen them, are you gonna pretend that they don't exist when your ability to see them was finally gone?"
"Will you're life be the same as it was before knowing that they exist? Knowing that they're just in your side looking at you? Observing you? Sleeping at your side? Eating with you?" Shun said.
Hearing what he said Miko was now in deep thought. She couldn't help but think what would happen to her life if one day she lost her ability to see them will be it the same as it was before she can see them? Yes? No? She was afraid knowing that they will be always at her side following her everywhere she goes. She doesn't want that.
"Also, your friend Hana" Shun said.
"What about her?! Is something bad is going on her?" Miko immediately asked. She is her best friend Hana.
"You're friend is brimming with Life aura" Shun said.
"Life aura? Is it good or bad?" Miko asked.
"Its actually good since she has a large life aura but there is also a side effect of it"
"Her large life aura is like a magnet attracting every spirits who sense her life aura" Shun said.
"They will come at her like magnet if someone you got a bad luck she can attract something big like that in that picture you have shown me earlier."
"Huh?! What should I do to prevent that?! You do know a solution right?RIGHT?" She said with a worried tone. She deeply cares about her friends especially her best friend Hana.
"Like what I already said! Be my subordinate!" Shun said as he pushed the box with a rings in it towards Miko.
"What is that ring?"
"That ring can help your friend seal or lessen her life aura."
"Not lessen but more like hide her life aura without affecting anything in her."
"It can also protect its wearer to any dangers, attack when it feels that the wearer is in danger and more! I'm too lazy to cite the others" Shun said.
"Such a priceless item your giving to me?" Miko said with a shocked voice.
"What will I do if I became your subordinate?" Miko asked. She knows that nothing is free in this world.
"What do you think?" Shun said with a mischievous smile.
"No way! Are you going after my body?!!" Miko said a pink cheeks as she slightly back away.
"Pervert! I wasn't thinking about that!" Shun said.
"I only wanted to make you an exorcists! To kill those spirits in school since I'm getting lazier and lazier. Just imagine killing those never ending spirits everyday" Shun said.
"Really? Only that?" Miko asked.
"Well only that but if you offer yourself to me..."
"Then I won't hesitate to take a bite in it" Shun said a teasing tone. Miko became red as she tried to run away but was hold by Shun.
"Wait! Also this a book that has manuals of basic exorcism spells and basic spiritual control" Shun said as he push the stacks of book in the table towards her side.
"If you can't learn this its ok since I have many treasures that could help killing them" Shun said.
"Thank you!"
Miko get the stack of book in her hand bowed deeply to Shun. She was very thankful to Shun giving her a chance to protect her friends and giving a new path of her life.
"Yea yea, goodbye!" Shun said as take a spoonful of chocolate sundae into his mouth as he look at the leaving Miko. After a few minutes of he finally finished the sundae he ordered. He put the money in the table before leaving.
He was now outside walking towards his house. After a few turns he finally stopped and look at his back.
"Come out! I can see you!" Shun said. After that a girl with a pink hair with a twin butterfly shaped ribbon.
"Why are you following me? Nino" Shun said.
"Nothing I just want to be with you!" Nino said with a pink cheeks. She is the girl who Shun felt the ominous aura earlier and the one who breaks a glass.
"Come here, let me take you home" Shun said. Nino immediately come to his and both of them started walking.

"Yea! See ya tomorrow!" Shun said as he turned around.
"Wait! I have something to say!" Nino said.
"I-I love you!" Nino said with a red face.
