Chapter 11 - Battle

Jin was working when he saw his boss, Cleria Belial. He looked at her and saw her gloomy face.

'I will talk to her after I finished my shift here' Jin thought.

The original Jin thought Cleria as his real sister. She was the one who help him when he first arrived in this town. She gave him food and offered a job. So even though he wasn't the same Jin anymore, that feeling still lingers in his heart. After all he inherited the memories of the original Jin and it feels that he was really at scene when he saw those memories.

After a few hours he finished his shift. He walked beside Cleria and asked in a soft tone, "Sister Cleria, is there anything wrong?"

He saw her didn't respond at his question. He waved his hand in front of him and said, "Hello! Sister Cleria!"

Cleria snapped out of her dazed. She looked at Jin and said, "I'm sorry Jin, what are you saying?"

"You're spacing out sister, is there something wrong?" Jin asked her with concern.

Cleria smile at his sadly before she said, "Sit down, I will tell you."

Jin smile and sat down opposite to her.

Cleria began to explained things to him. She told him about Masaomi leaving the country but she didn't tell him why he leave the country.

'Hmm? It must be that the church got to know his relationship about Sister Belial' Jin thought as he rubbed his chin.

Jin looked at Cleria and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry Sister Cleria you will meet him again."

"I wonder about that." Cleria said to him with a sad smile.

'Of course, I guarantee it' Jin said in his mind.

After that Jin bid farewell to her and he went to his home to check Kuroka.

'The Belial clan will sent their forces to hunt down Sister Belial anytime. I've been preparing for this day for a long time.' Jin thought as he walked to his home with a frown on his face.

"With my current points I wouldn't be able to buy a thing that could help me. Maybe I should ask Kuroka to help me this time." Jin murmured, "She wouldn't reject me, right?"

...

After Jin left Cleria sighed heavily. She slumped down on the table.

She said in a sad tone, "I know that our relationship is forbidden but I can't stop my feelings... Masaomi... Masaomi... I know that Belial clan already got the information about me as the church already got."

She looked outside and said, "Maybe, I will die sooner..."

She turned her head and looked at the waitress before saying, "Close our restaurant and gather everyone here!"

"Yes" The waitress nodded at her before she left to close the restaurant.

Every worker at this restaurant is a member of Cleria's peerage except Jin. She just felt pity to the poor boy when she met him three years ago.

After a few minutes everyone gathered in front of Cleria.

Cleria looked at everyone and said loudly, "We will leave this town today as we're in danger! Is there anyone who wants to leave my family? Now is the time!"

""No! We will follow you till we die!"" all of her peerage member said at the same time.

Cleria's eyes softened at their answer. She patted her ċhėst and said, "Good, we will leave now."

...

Cleria was in the outskirt of the town with her peerage. They were planning to walked through the forest to another town to avoid getting spotted. They will also avoid using magic and flying because there's a high chance that the enemy will detect them.

She looked back at the town and said, "I'm sorry Jin I didn't bid farewell to you."

Suddenly the atmosphere got heavy as a barrier covered the sky.

Cleria opened her eyes widely looking at the barrier. She said in a low voice, "They're already here. That's fast."

Then they heard a footsteps coming from the forest in front of them. All of them turned their head and saw a group of devils. There's also a few devils flying in mid air looking down at them.

The leading devil was a man wearing a military uniform. This man was a high-class devil serving under Belial clan. The man bow before them and said, "Sorry, young miss the master give me a job to execute all of you here. The master deemed your action as betrayal."

Cleria looked at the man with determination in her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I know the consequences of my action ever since I fell in love with Masaomi."

"Get ready" The man said.

The group of devils numbering from 30 to 40 readied themselves. They already outnumbered Cleria's group. There are ten mid-class devils and twenty plus low-class devils in front of Cleria. And the one leading them was a high-class devil himself.
