Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

"Let's begin the explanation." Amber sat across from Kai in the restaurant that got miraculously restored to its glory. "What do you want to know first?"

"About this Spirit Power." He asked. "And why can I see something glowing in the air right now."

He had finished absorbing the Slayer's Spirit Power, or so Amber said. It only lasted for 5 minutes, but the pain he felt was unimaginable that he thought the session was longer than that.

After he was done absorbing the Spirit Power, he felt some changes in his body. Firstly, he could see a light dot floating in the air. Secondly, he felt strangely refreshed even though his body was sweaty.

Then they moved to the front of the restaurant, with many chairs and tables, to talk. What Kai needed the most was an explanation from Amber. Even though he remembered everything last night, he still didn't know what he got himself into.

Excitement blinded him last night, but he had calmed down and realized some danger that posed with his newly found knowledge.

"That light dot is Nature Power. Slayer absorbs them and converts them to replenish their Spirit Power. Mythical Beasts also do that when we are low on power. But you're different. You're special!"

"I am special?"

"Indeed. No humans can harness Mythical Beast's power. At most, they can only contract a Supernatural Being to be their familiar. But you, Kai, have managed to form a contract with me, a Phoenix! You can even use all my power, which is naturally impossible for everyone but one person in history. That person is long gone so that only left you."

'That's… Am I actually amazing?' Kai looked at his hand. He didn't believe that he actually had that kind of power.

He was just a man who loved Mythical Being and stories. Now a Phoenix sat across from him, telling him he was special. Happiness spread across his chest as he smiled.

"I see."

"Yes." Amber nodded. "Look here."

Suddenly, she stood up and raised her skirt.

"W-What are you doing?!" Surprised, Kai shouted at Amber.

Her red panties were exposed, and he tried his best to look away.

"Look over here, Kai!" She pressed, asking Kai to look at her.

"N-No. What are you doing? Lifting your skirt so suddenly!"

"I just want to show you the mark of our contract!" Amber replied. Her voice trembled with a mix of embarrassment. "Just look over here for a second!"

"A-Alright. I will look, okay? Just a second."

Facing Amber's relentless nagging, he looked toward her direction and noticed a small red mark on her thigh, just right above the red string that was tied in a butterfly knot.

The mark was shaped like a burning bird, which Kai recognized as a Phoenix.

"A mark?" He asked.

"Yes, this is the mark of our contract." She replied and put down her skirt again. The slit of her skirt made her thighs exposed but looking at her underwear when she lifted it was another story for Kai. He had no experience with a woman, which made him a bit vulnerable to teasing.

But Amber only wanted to show him the mark. His dirty mind darted anywhere, and it made him embarrassed.

Coughing into his hand to calm himself, he decided to continue asking.

"Is there any effect of our contract? And how did we make a contract in the first place?"

"It's because I chose you, and we seal it with a kiss. Also, the effect is I won't be able to use my power without your permission. And… I-If you kissed me, then I will fuse into your body, making you able to harness all my power. Even without fusing, you are still able to access a bit of my power, so you essentially stopped being a normal human since last night."

"That's a lot to take in." He muttered, holding his head. He stopped being a normal human, so what? That wasn't the part he took notice of. How could a Mythical Being seal a contract with a kiss? That was the problem in this case.

"Then, what's a Phoenix's power? Is it Phoenix Fire and regeneration like what I read in the book?"

"Most of it, yes. You are able to control any fire weaker than a Phoenix Fire and will be immune to it. You can also regenerate your wound with Phoenix fire, but your regeneration won't be as fast as mine. At least you will not be able to heal a chopped limb or a stab in the heart without fusing with me."

"That means I can heal those kinds of wounds if I fuse with you?"

"Yes." Amber nodded with a big smile. "You won't die easily. Isn't that great?!"

That indeed lifted a majority of his headache. If the world he stumbled into by chance was filled with dangerous people like Slayer, Mythical Beast, and Supernatural Beings, having a Phoenix's regeneration was one thing he was grateful for.

From that man's explanation, he also found that a Slayer had an organization that worked like a government. They regulated all Slayers, taking commissions related to Supernatural stuff, and even hunting the troublemakers.

The ones he killed were troublemakers. The man assured him that he wouldn't get into trouble for killing his partner last night, and surely, Kai wouldn't get into trouble for killing the man too. It was self-defense.

That was the mistake made by that man out of fear. If he told Kai that killing him would get Kai in trouble, then surely Kai would only just knock him out. The reason?

Because he didn't want to be found by the organization first. He enjoyed his daily life and wouldn't want to be bothered for a while. Also, a character he loved in the fiction even killed many people who killed his dog and stole his car.

That character was Kai's version of guide to survive in the strange world

His desire to see another Mythical Beast soared up after Amber's reveal, but he wanted to get used to the new world first and maybe train how to use his new power before he tried to find another Mythical Beast.

"One last question, Amber."

"What is it?" The girl looked at him innocently. If he didn't know for sure, then he would mistake Amber for a normal, innocent beautiful girl. But she was a Phoenix.

"Can I trust you?" He asked.

"I assure you, you can trust me." She replied instantly without missing a beat. "As I am bound by a contract between us, I won't be able to lie to you. Also, I have no reason to. I've been looking forward to this day forever." She smiled widely, showing a toothy grin.

'Looking forward? How long has she known about me, then? She even knew my name even though I didn't introduce myself.' Kai thought, nodding satisfiedly to Amber's answer.

But that wasn't important. He would find out about that in the future when Amber wanted to talk about it. He was about to forget it due to what happened, but…

"Come to think of it, where is my grandfather?"

"Grandfather?" She tilted her head. "Ah, the old man who lived in this house!" She exclaimed.

"You met him?" Kai's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes. When I went to the toilet early this morning, I met him in the hallway. He observed me from head to toe before saying, 'That damn brat has brought a girl? Lad, tell him I will go for a day, so just close the restaurant. Enjoy yourself,' and then he walked away while waving his hand."

Kai didn't know how to react to that. It was true that his grandfather always woke up early in the morning before him to prepare the kitchen. But he never thought he would meet Amber before him.

He also didn't know whether he should be grateful that his grandfather left the restaurant so he didn't get involved with the Slayer's attack or whether he should be mad because the old man misunderstood something.

One thing was for sure. That was certainly his old man's reaction. He could imagine that old man grinning in his head.

"That old man…"
