Chapter 3 : The Armored ghoul (part 2)

On the previous chapter Kasumi alongside Anna and Jiro went to the abandoned mansion near the Fumukura forest.When they entered the mansion they saw a man sitting on the stairs.

"Who...are you?" Anna questioned.

"Ahh...you don't remember me?" The man answered,leaving them confused.

"Well...he was the reason why we came here" Kasumi mentioned.

"Huuuh?...heyy..don't tell me.." Jiro reacted not finishing his words.

"Yes,I'm that armored ghoul,and this is my human form" The man explained.

"By the way I'm Amano Fumukura nice to meet you demon kid" he added while referring to Kasumi.

"Wait what...you know each other?" Anna said rising an eyebrow.

"If you're always reading news articles... you've probably heard about the kidnapping incedents 12 years ago"He answered.

"Apparently,the Fumukura clan got blamed and accused about the incedent....that's all I know about him" Kasumi added.Anna was frozen for a moment before speaking."12 years ago?"

"What's wrong Anna? didn't heard about it?"Jiro asked Anna with a curious face.

"Anyway,what the hell?I thought we're going to capture him!" Jiro questioned in annoyance,pointing at Amano.

"I already told you.. didn't I?" Kasumi responded while walking upstairs.

"We're not the only one... who's trying to capture him" he added.

"Soooo?" Anna and Jiro responded in sync.

"So...I simply made a deal with that guy over there(pointing at Amano) to help me with a plan" Kasumi answered happily.

"What plan?" Jiro asked with a confused look on his face.

"Don't worry....they will arrive soon" Kasumi answered with a grin before he transformed his crow into a knife,and stabbed his left palm.

"Heyy...what are you doing?" Anna questioned in horror.

Kasumi's eyes started glowing red and his hair color changes from black to pure white.

"Five...." Kasumi started counting.

"What's the matter Kasumi?" Jiro asked

"Four..."

"Three"

"Hoii, Kasumi what are you doing" Jiro questioned once again.

"Two....One...."Kasumi finished his counting before looking above the ceiling. "booOOOMM" a huge explosion from the ceiling occured as if a huge rock has fallen from the sky.

"Wha.t... the?" Anna reacted before grabbing a paper and activating her enhancement talisman.

"Hmm,took you so long?" Kasumi commented with a slight grin.

"I didn't expected you to find us out...well it took you long enough though...now give us that Old man" a familiar women's voice responded.

When the dust from the fallen ceiling is cleared enough for everyone to see her face,they saw a familiar women and tall man behind her wearing a hat and a round glasses.

"You... you're that women from the warehouse..." Anna reacted.

"What are you...?"Anna added but not finishing her words.

"She's the person behind all of this...of course" Kasumi responded.

"Hmmm,as expected from the ace detective of Investigation department" The women said with a grin.

"How...di you?" Jiro and Anna questioned Kasumi in sync.

"Those corpses that found this morning... weren't killed or eaten by a ghoul...but they were attacked.. at least."Kasumi explained.

"When ghouls eat they don't leave any remains...but those corpses are different aside from having remains they're teeth are completely crushed...you tortured them.. didn't you?" Kasumi asked with a grin.

"How can you tell..that I'm the culprit?" The women asked.

"This ring.." Kasumi mentioned with a ring in his hands.The women widened her eyes.

"You've used this ring to control that flesh eating ghoul didn't you?"Kasumi questioned in annoying tone.

"You're...Mei Kamagami aren't you?..the witch of steel" Kasumi added.

"You know...my eyes can see something a normal human might not be able to see...with this I can see if someone is using their spiritual energy to do something supernatural" Kasumi explained flexing his blood-red eyes.

"And what I saw?....I saw a black string connected from you and that ghoul.. " Kasumi explained.

"Hahaha, amazing Kuragari Kasumi... didn't expect you to be this smart" she said with evil laugh.

"Nah,I'm not smart...I prefer the word lucky" Kasumi responded in humble tone.

"Hmmm,you already know everything...I guess I got no choice but to kill you right here and now" she said in serious tone with a slight smirk.

Kasumi simply smiled in response before the floor where Mei and her ally are standing started glowing with talisman marks.

"Wha..." Mei's unfinished response before the floor where she was standing explodes.

"Good...bye" Kasumi whimpered.
