Chapter 59 59 – Slayer Organization

The sky had turned orange as Kai walked out of his restaurant. He changed his clothes into black shirts and pants and slicked his hair back. For the restaurant, he could leave it to Amber and Ibaraki. They would do well as the restaurant was closed early.

What he should do right now was to register with the Slayer Organization just as he had planned before to gain some perks exclusive to Slayers.

Surprisingly, the Slayer Organization gave people many perks, including free information and the use of the Supernatural market.

They sold various things from Talismans and some enhanced clothes and weapons in the Supernatural market. And more importantly, they were completely legal, unlike the Black Market.

However, to register, one must have credibility first. Kai already had that from what he did for the Spirit Foxes and Oni Village. Still, there was one problem. He didn't know where to register.

Again, that could be solved easily. He had called someone for this exact reason, and now he walked toward the meeting point with that someone.

The meeting point was nowhere far. They agreed to meet in front of Chinatown's entrance, under the lanterns that decorated it.

When he was about to arrive, he noticed a man standing on the side wearing a really suspicious coat with the Slayer's logo on his back.

Looking at him, Kai couldn't help but smile wryly.

'I thought Supernatural was supposed to be hidden, but he looks really suspicious.' He thought. However, he changed his mind when he remembered what kind of people were living in New York City. 'I guess he's not really suspicious.'

Many people were wearing strange clothes. Still, they weren't as exposed as the female Devils wore.

As he had gotten close to the man he was about to meet, Kai raised his hand and called out to him.

"Good afternoon, Griffin."

The man turned around. Griffin looked a bit pissed off for some reason but still met him nonetheless.

"What's wrong?" Kai asked curiously why Griffin looked a bit out of it.

"I heard the report from the Japan Slayer Organization," Griffin replied while huffing a tired sigh. "You're absolutely ridiculous. You know that?"

"Oh? Has the news spread already? Has my face been spread around too?" He mused with a curious tone. This was the age of technology, so it wasn't strange if the news spread easily.

"No. The news only told us about your titles and your fear of defeating a large giant in the Oni Village. But, they also gave us a rough description of your appearance, and Kamaitachi also told us that you would register in the US. Taking all of that into account, I only guessed that you were the one who did all of that."

"That's… a lot. Also, what do you mean by my titles?"

Griffin rolled his eyes and said, "The Ruler. Monster. Then 'Oni Village's Savior'."

"Hahahaha…" Hearing Griffin listing the titles he didn't know he had, Kai laughed dryly. He knew where the first two came from, but the third one was new.

Still, it was the first time he knew he had titles. He almost laughed at it. The first one, he didn't even need to do anything to get it. The second one… was worse. The third must be because of the people in the Oni Village.

"Anyway, as I said in the message, I am about to register in the Slayer Organization. Can you take me to where I can register? Because honestly, I don't know anything about it."

"Haa…" Griffin sighed once again. "Well, it was actually my job to guide you too, so I don't really mind. Please follow me. We will walk to the Slayer Organization's main office."

"Got it." He nodded and began to follow Griffin, walking side by side with his right hand inside his pants pocket.

While they were walking, many people looked over at them, more specifically at Griffin. As they walked, Griffin took out a pack of cigarettes and pulled one before offering the pack to Kai.

"Do you smoke?"

"Thanks." Kai took one cigarette and lit it with his Phoenix fire from the tip of his finger. He did it discreetly by hiding it with his other hand. After his cigarette was lit, he turned to Griffin. Somehow he looked at him in disbelief. "What?"

"Nothing." The Slayer shook his head slightly and took out a lighter, lighting his cigar. "It is the first time I saw someone use a Phoenix fire to light a cigarette." He puffed smoke and put his cigar back in his coat's pocket.

"It is convenient," Kai replied and puffed out smoke too. He looked at the cigar in his hand and frowned. "This is bitter. Sorry, but I think I might not get used to this."

"Ah, so this is your first time? My bad. I thought you were smoking too."

"Don't worry. I love to try new things." He replied before he crumpled the cigar in his hand and burned it with Phoenix fire inside his palm. "But I can't love all the new things I tried."

"Naturally." Griffin nodded. "Life sometimes has ups and downs. You love something, and you hate something. That's just natural in this world."

"Right." That was something Kai agreed on. He wouldn't refuse something without trying first, but he couldn't promise he would like that thing. "So, do you like being involved with the Supernatural World?"

"To be honest, no?" Griffin looked at him and smiled softly. He then turned his attention back to the road and continued,

"My family is a family of Slayers. So I naturally have been involved in the Supernatural World since I was a child. Being a Slayer is mandatory for humans, but I am working for the Slayer Organization because of my family. Ah, those two are different things, you know that, right?"

"I know."

Being a Slayer and working for the Slayer Organization was different. The former was a free agent and could live as they pleased, while the latter was like a government worker.

Kai only planned to register as a Slayer to enjoy the perk, but he didn't want to work for the Slayer Organization. The worker was supposed to wear the Slayer's logo on their back like Griffin and Sojuro, the Slayer he met in Oni Village.

They continued walking and talked about some topics related to Supernatural World. Surprisingly, as they talked, Kai realized they had something in common.

One thing was their love of drinking; though he had already promised himself not to drink something strange, he still loved to drink normal alcohol.

Their walk continued for 10 minutes as they arrived in front of an alleyway near Time Square. Kai wondered why Griffin stopped in front of the alleyway, but he understood it once they stepped inside.

The scenery changed. The previous dirty alleyway changed into a clean path leading to a tall building that he didn't see from outside.

"Oh? A barrier? So this is the Slayer Organization's main office?"" Kai mused in wonder as he looked at the building in front of him.

It looked like a normal office building with a tall structure, with a luxurious entrance, but the people who walked in and out were certainly not normal. Almost all of them had Slayer's logo on their outfits.

"Yes. The barrier is made to hide this building from normal people." Griffin replied as he turned to Kai. "Anyway, we've arrived."
