Job

Looking at ceiling, there was a young man with a white t-shirt covered with cheap jacket.

'I wonder why I take this job. Sure this job got good pay but... I'm kinda regret it, this job didn't give me one thing I need, a woman! damn your all normalfag, go explode!!!'

A phone ringed. The young man rushed to it and answered.

"Hello! This is Delivery Man Koutarou Shin! May I Help you?"

His mood worsen.

"No! Why the hell I should find a dog!? I'm not that... Wait a moment."

The young man continue rushed to his noodle cup before turn it to speaker.

"I'm not desperate to... Slurrpp~.... To get money to eat.. Slurrp~... food, your dog lover! I'm cat lover! Go find your stupid dog!"

Koutarou Shin snorted in anger. He never understand how stupid this client asked him to find a dog. In first place, his job is 'deliver' not 'find'! He continued eat his meal with his plain chopstick.

'Just because I was Delivery Man, don't ask me for stupid things to do! I have my honour as someone who experienced in this without dying! Why should I need to find the damn dog!? Moreover two credit? Even food daily is 5 which is cheapest!'

Shin kept cursing. A loud knock heard by him. Shin put the cup noodle to side.

"Enter."

He said with loud voice. A silhouette entered. Shin's left eye twitched. A sexy beautiful foreigner woman with blond hair looking at him mockingly.

"Even now, You always had something to do. I wonder when you will get your woman, Delivery Man Joker."

Shin had displeased face when look at the woman. He never care this woman who is also known delivery man but she entered Otherworld Resource Management. Shin was his senior until few months ago when he had a fight with her.

"What do you want Alice? You got a stable job, why you come here again?"

"Nothing, just to watch my miserable senior~"

'And lovely one~'

She scooted bit closer to Shin but he paid no heed as he continue eat his noodle cup. She showed seductive eyes at shin but Shin just return it with dead eyes fish. Alice moved closer to Shin. Annoyed he stood up and moved to his patched sofa with his cup noodle slurping. Alice moved to him, shin did same thing again. So did Alice.

"What do you want, Your foreigner slut!?"

He stood up annoyed glaring at Alice, who giggled. His hand threw the noodle cup accurate inside a dustbin without looking. What surprising is it was 10 metres from his work table. Alice sat on his table with seductive eyes. Shin returned it again with dead eyes fish.

"I got some order from higher to hire you. It was about 1450 credit."

"I don't want to hear credit. I want to hear the details, credit can be negotiate."

Shin said looking at Alice sharply. Alice got goosebump. Even if she got into higher position, she will never get accustomed to that expression.Even if it was an experienced veteran, even higher up didn't dare to face the pressure from Shin's aura.

"E-ehem. OMR g-got information from black guild, Dark Cyber..."

"Erys, note this information."

"Aye, sir!~"

Alice saw black beautiful fairy size of one adult man's hand appeared before her. This fairy was a full-time worker of Shin. a beautiful body with white long hair, not to forget sharp ears with with dark blue eyes. Wearing office woman's clothes, she appeared with small notebook. She beautiful and all that but...

"Erys, you should go to your seat there right?"

"Shin-chan head is more comfortable~"

"Continue, Alice."

"Yes. Based on this, we confirm that illegal dealing happen at Black Market Bismarck in City zero zero. The problem is not the dealing but the content of it, it is unstable cube. It's quality didn't passed the minimum even in underworld. The one who did the dealing is Robert Crass, a mercenary worked for Light shield. Bring the dealing to stop so we can retrieve and redid the cube."

"Erys. The delivery is... Order."

"Eh, Shin-chan. Why is it so cheap? We can make it to annihilate or justice!"

"No, Erys. We been asked for stop the dealing not kill or destroy the cube. It's mean we need to retrieve it."

"We will bring about a platoon to handle this. You will become backup."

"Dammit! Why they just want me as backup!? Erys, It's reinforcement."

"Yes."

Erys noted all been said with glee. Shin lied his back against the the patched executive chair. He looked at Alice with pressure no less than before.

"The credit would be 1700 Credit. I got bad feeling from this. Erys note this too."

"B-but!"

"If there is nothing going on, I will accept 1450 Credit."

Shin said before go to his kitchen to make a lunch. Alice went there but stopped by Erys.

"Why?"

"He is not in mood to look at traitor in his kitchen."

"Tonight, is it, Alice?"

"Y-yes."

"Erys."

"Yes, coordination and equipment will be ready."

Erys went to her seat which next to sofa. there are a lot of server and and miniature screen and keyboard for size of fairy. Erys continued from her work ignoring Alice. Alice felt guilty for Shin, before Alice wanted to take a step closer to Shin...

"Client, our dealing is complete. Please get out from this place."

"Sorry, for disturbing."

'Sorry, Onii-chan.'

Alice went out of the room without any word. As the door close, Shin punched the wall with anger.

"Fuck!!! Your fucking traitor!!! Got all the merit! Everything I did, all thing I got!!! Fuck!"

Shin's hand dripped in blood, there was a crack of concrete wall. Erys glanced at Shin pity.

'Everything he did just amount for a quarter of his sister. World really harsh.'

Shin reported to Erys, looking at the surrounding. He had a metal plate on his right shoulder emitting a hologram of a dragon around four symbols of triangle, circle, 'X' and square inside it. There was two holster blaster which use mana crystal to use as ammo. a chest plate made of orihalcum and adamantium strapped tightly on his chest. Light Gauntlet glove for bracing heat and heavy object been layered with magic then thin plate of alloy until reach one centimetre. A long sleeve hoodie with theme of joker and knife motif on the back and shark teeth on his hoodie giving a faint neon light. And lastly a mask for covering his mouth with motif of skull's jaw that covered his neck. His appearance gave a feeling of dark hunter seeking a savage demon.

" Hey, the Joker is back."

"Hah, that survivor? He looked cheap."

"I know right, thank god that phoenix the day."

Shin ran toward a building then jumped to the wall.

"Gravity."

Shin jumped and do front flip before continue his pursuit on the roof.

"Is he look like powerful than phoenix?"

"No, he just act cool."
