Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2562 - 2563: The Young Lady That Canʼt Stop Believing Conspiracy Theories

-----

While Frank and his group walked through the streets surrounding Tokyo High School, very far away, a girl with white hair made into two pigtails, a cute and small frame, and blue eyes glanced into the distance.

She was hiding behind a pole, completely exposed to other people walking around glaring at her with strange faces. Frank and his friends didnʼt even feel her chasing them because her presence was so small, and there were countless people everywhere. She, like them, was also a student at Tokyo High School, by simply looking at her uniform, it was quite obvious.

”Lady Elfina, I donʼt think this is a good idea, we shouldnʼt be chasing around people like that…”

Behind her, there were a couple of other people, two to be exact, a tall young woman with fiery red hair made into a ponytail, wearing a maid apron on top of her school clothes. She looked worried, looking at her lady.

”Fiere, itʼs completely fine!” Elfina said. ”I know theyʼre suspicious! I saw it, you know?! I saw what they were doing with Iris-sensei! They had some weird magical demonic power! I-I think we might be being invaded by demons in secret!”

”And, letʼs say, hypothetically, that such a thing is real… What do you hope to accomplish with chasing them around?” Sighed the second student by her side, a tall young man with red hair and blue eyes, glaring at Elfina with concern. He had a well-built body, lean, slightly muscular, and he was very handsome.

”W-We can gather clues, Sol! Then we can report them to authorities,” Elfina smiled, furrowing her cute thin eyebrows as she glanced at Frankʼs group suddenly walk towards a small corridor within a tight passage. ”L-Look!”

They slowly chased them around from afar, as Elfina used her binoculars to glance from very far away, suddenly noticing something.

”UEEH?!”

She gasped in disbelief as she saw Frank and his friends pass through an invisible wall and disappear! She jumped off and fell on her own butt.

”Ouch, ouch…”

”Milady! Please be careful…”

Fiere ran to her side, helping her stand up again, while cleaning her skirt.

”I-I saw them Fiere! Sol! I saw them! They passed through an invisible wall! I swear for my mommy and my daddy!”

Elfina panicked, as she tried to communicate the true supernatural horror she saw with her very two eyes!

”R-Really, milady? Are you not lying to me again?” Sighed Fiere, glaring at Elfina with her orange eyes, raising an eyebrow.

”They kind of disappeared though, I am fairly sure that corridor is a dead end, right?” Sol wondered, glancing using the binocular as well.

”Yeah Sol! It is! Please believe me! itʼs real! Theyʼre aliens!” Elfina kept saying.

”Didnʼt you say they were demons before?” Fiere asked, sighing as she crossed her arms.

”I-I mean they could be both? We wonʼt know until we find out!” Elfina said.

”Even if they were something like that, what else can we do? I think we should simply return home for now…” Sol sighed.

”No I wonʼt return until I find out more!” Elfina kept saying. ”If you two are so afraid, you can stay! But I will go there and see for myself!”

Elfina started running towards there, as Sol and Fiere panicked.

”W-Wait a second, Elfina-san!”

”Ojou-sama!”

The little Elfina ran through the streets and finally reached the area where she saw Frank and his friends pass through, looking at it while squinting her eyes.

”For moments like this, phone and ultraviolet light!”

She took out a blue colored flashlight and used it on the area, trying to find its ”true form” like she had seen on Youtube videos about occultism and the supernatural.

And yet…

”Huh? Eh?”

She ran towards the wall and started touching it, hitting it, but it was just a normal wall!

”N-No way! What happened?! I am fairly sure that there was something hereeee!”

As she started to complain, Sol and Fiere finally reached her, looking at her with pity.

”Ojou-sama, please letʼs return back home already!”

”W-What are you doing? Itʼs just a wall…”

”No I swear I saw them pass through it! Why wonʼt you believe me!?”

Elfina kept crying and complaining, as she was dragged away slowly by her friends.

”…”

Completely unaware that someone was indeed looking at them, but not the people Elfina expected them to be.

”Are they that boyʼs friends by any chance? Hmm, perhaps I could use this to lure him out...”

Frank, Matsuo, Harumi, and Erika made their way to the mission central house at the Clanʼs villa, finding Hinata right there, reading a book while looking bored, sometimes eating rice crackers and sipping green tea.

”Oh! You guys are finally here again! Whatʼs up? Finally taking some new missions? Been a little while, huh?”

”Hello, Hinata-sensei,” said Matsuo respectfully.

”Hinata… Is this another of your clones?” Frank wondered, as an American, he usually didnʼt address people with honorifics, as he often forgot to do it, and usually called people directly by their names too.

Hinata and everyone else tended to not mind it, as they knew Frank wasnʼt native Japanese, but an American that came to live here. It wasnʼt that they werenʼt wary of foreigners though, but Frank was already accepted by the clan ancestor, and they recognized his strength and friendship with Matsuo, so they respected him and let him be.

”Yes Frank-kun, this is my clone as well~!” Hinata giggled, smiling cutely. ”You think Iʼm cute~? Wanna go on a date with me~ Huh~?”

”Stop it with that please, we know youʼre an older lady…” Sighed Harumi. ”Are you trying to date an underage boy? Thatʼs illegal.”

”I-I was just joking! Iʼm joking you know?!” Hinata grew a bit nervous. ”Seriously why are Vampires like this?!”

The group glanced at the mission board with great interest, there were all kinds of missions there from various ranks and grades, they spent a good minute looking, until…

”I think this is a good one for now, right?” Matsuo grabbed a paper.

It said, ”Urban Spirit and Street Yokai Cleansing”.
