"..." I spend some time adjusting the scope of the sniper-style rifle to find my sister, fortunately her room can be seen from this building, but some disgusting worm has closed the curtain in the room.
And that's why I can't see anything in there no matter how much I adjust the rifle, there are no points where the room can be observed while the curtain is closed.
So I spend several hours just watching a closed curtain, it's annoying, it's boring, and it's also extremely slow, but I have nothing else to do besides that, so it ends up just staying that way.
'Finally!' Now that the first class period is over, everyone can have lunch, so some students opened the curtains, and I have a clear view of the classroom, and there I can see a beautiful girl.
She has long light lavender hair and very beautiful lilac eyes, she is wearing a white school uniform with a light and dark blue skirt, she has a gentle expression and an excited smile as she tries to make friends with the nearby classmates.
She is Ayane Fujisawa, my sister, and the person I love, the reason for her uniform having a blue skirt and why she likes the color, at this school each student can choose the color of the lower part of the uniform.
And although it may seem like just an irrelevant detail, it serves to reveal part of the psychology of the students who, when choosing certain colors, are based on personal taste, family, or things from their daily life.
'She chose blue...' The top of the uniform will always be white, meaning for the boys it's a white shirt underneath and a black jacket on top, and for the girls it's always a white blouse with some detail like a collar, bow, or tie of their choice.
So only the skirt, pants, and accessories are chosen by the students, and the rest is a standard.
In the past, she also chose blue, and I chose dark blue since violet or lavender looked ugly on men's clothes, I think this time I'll choose a black skirt and a pink jacket.
For the girls, a jacket is not mandatory, so I'll hardly wear the jacket, just the black skirt will be the highlight, and I think a second dark blue skirt would look good.
I aim the weapon more efficiently to get a better view of my sister, seeing her so excited to make friends makes my heart race and seeing her beauty again makes me blush.
I thought I would never have another chance, I'm so happy I didn't kill myself and waste the chance to save her, it was really fate saving me just so my sister and I could reunite.
"Why don't you kill someone?" The black cat appears, until now I don't know the name of this treacherous demon.
"Kill someone?" I question him skeptically, this damned thing only appears to talk nonsense, why would I disturb my sister's first day of school?
I'm taking all possible precautions to not cause any problems, I'm not sure exactly how my powers work, I just instinctively know how to use them.
Even the Rifle needs to be recharged with magic to shoot, so there was no risk of me accidentally shooting someone, and I even left it normal so I wouldn't make an accidental mistake by firing it.
"Yes, kill someone just for fun" He confirms the answer to my question, saying it's just for fun while giving a malicious smile.
"Just...for fun?" I question this part, looking at him already irritated by it.
"That's just for fun...MEEOOOWW" I grab him by the scruff of the neck and throw him off the building, then I go back to looking at my sister, of course this won't kill that demon, it's just to teach him to stop bothering me at such a moment.
I spent hours looking at a curtain, and now that I can finally see my sister, this demon wants me to make the mistake of disturbing her day.
I also observe who the parasites are that approach her, I won't kill them without reason, after all my sister wants friendships and I won't ruin her desire, but maybe I'll recognize someone from the diary.
It's in this kind of situation that I would complain to my sister for never being very specific, if she had mentioned names or described appearances, everything would be easier, but in the diary she only referred to people as classmates or friends, etc.
"Tsk you're a monster Setsuna" The demon reappears, I look at him who is "injured", he has a lot of blood, his body is somewhat flattened, one eye is shattered and the other is bulging, while brain matter, bones and organs are visible.
I don't even know how this grotesque thing can maintain a form.
"Get away, you...are horrifying" I say with false disgust, looking at this abomination, I didn't know he would end up like this, I thought he would fly, teleport or the ground would break, not that he would actually suffer the damage.
"...What cruelty, you know? I liked this little body, but I brought it to you as a gift for your wickedness" The body suddenly collapses, falling to the ground right next to me, with a sigh and a look of "disgust" I move to another corner of the building and readjust the sniper-style rifle.
'So this demon is possessing the bodies of other beings...' This is something curious, from his speech it's obvious that this body is not his, just something he has taken over, this also explains why he received damage when "falling" from the building.
"I'm back" He appears again, in another body again as a black cat.
'Some fixation on cats?'
"Could you be quiet or go away? You talk too much" I say a bit sarcastically to him, who had the audacity to come back even after I had thrown him from here.
"Hihihi if I go away, I'll only come back in a month" He says with a malicious chuckle, making me think about how bad that would be.
"...You can stay..."
'Damn it...' He knows I'll need him soon since I need to cheat on the test.
"Tsk I lost my sister..." I no longer see her, she must have gone out with her classmates to eat somewhere else.
"...You...did it on purpose again, didn't you?" He appeared just when I could see my sister, and bothered until she left, causing me to almost not have time to observe her.
"Can I know why you keep bothering me?" It's the second time.
"You haven't paid me" The cat speaks with seriousness, without the playful or manipulative tone he normally uses, the seriousness of these words gives me chills.
"...I'll do it" I owe payment for the agreement, but since I've come back in time, I still haven't done anything that could serve as a good payment, having killed a monster doesn't yield almost anything.
'So...if I take too long to pay, he'll keep bothering me?...Damn Loan Shark' He's like a loan shark, and a dangerous one at that.
"Okay, I have time...my sister's school will take a while, I just need to be mean, right? If I do 1 act of evil that you consider satisfactory, will you stop bothering me?"
"Yes, of course, Setsuna-channnn" The cat speaks in a drawling and somewhat mocking way, I start to descend the building wall with some care, after reaching the alley behind the building, I think about what to do.
'What could be bad enough...' At this point I remember something, I don't have to be the one to do something bad, I can deceive someone into doing it too, and just like this method, there are several other methods.
'Sister...forgive me for what I'm about to do...but your life is worth more than anything' I feel no remorse, guilt, or pain, I only apologize because I know my sister would hate this.
I quickly look for something to do some evil in exchange for him helping me with my little problem.
"Demon, can...you hide my presence from people?" Magical girls can do this easily, even in the middle of the street, people don't notice them, as if they were invisible, but I don't have that.
"...Hihihi I wonder what you'll do" The black cat laughs maliciously.
"Okay, from now on people's general perception is null as long as you don't interact with them, and even if you do, people won't be able to describe you."
'How convenient...for a crime' This being is very malicious, distorting my request into something bad.
I walk down the street and find something to do, I just sigh at having to do such a quick act of evil, quickly I find a homeless person, I think robbing him of his money will do.
I don't want to do something extremely bad that would disappoint my sister, but I also can't do something that is not evil enough, or this demon won't accept it.
I approach the homeless man and show him my hidden gun, he widens his eyes and trembles with fear, he seems to be in a very bad state, it's not so uncommon to find homeless people.
"Give me all your money and if you have one, give me a lighter" If I burn the poor man's money in front of him, it should count as a terrible act, and it's much smaller than simply killing someone.
I'd like some money, but I guess just robbing him isn't bad enough for the cat.
The beggar gives me a little money, it's almost nothing, but it's not like I'm going to keep it, I know that just robbery may not satisfy the demon because it will be a benefit for me.
The beggar also gives me matches instead of a lighter, of course he could try to compete with me physically, but if people see a beggar attacking a pretty young girl, he'll have problems with the law.
And he knows that, so he doesn't even risk it, so I take the matches and start burning his money in front of him, of course going to jail or losing a few dollars have huge differences that aren't worth it.
"Young lady...why are you doing this?" He asks with disappointment at my wickedness as I'm careful of my surroundings to make sure no one sees me.
"Because it's fun" I lie, I don't see the fun in it, it's simply because I need the demon, I need his help, and this is a way, in fact this beggar has no idea that instead of burning money, I could be killing him with a gun.
I get up, leaving him there with the burned money, while I walk down the street, the cat follows me walking on the ground.
"Satisfied?" I ask him coldly.
"A little, I expected you to kill him, or something like that, a bit disappointing that you still try to cling to morals for your sister, but oh well, I'll help you with your little problem."
"After all, I have all the time in the world to make you truly evil" The cat speaks with amusement, this only makes me more curious as to why he wants me to be so wicked.
