…What the fuck did that mean?

I paused for a second, wondering if I should do anything about the ominous message. It sounded… well, not fully serious, really. 

Mildly serious. Was there anything to do about this, even? The message didn't seem to think so, it was more of a 'you got fucked, tough shit' than anything else.

Oh well, how bad could it be?

Shrugging, I made my way to the bus, not willing to let the stupid message ruin my trip.

I showed my ticket, went to my seat (right at the back, by the window, because we traveled fucking comfortable) and I sat down, leaving my backpack by my feet. 

Leaning back, I relished the nice seat. I'd say, the Japanese knew how to make buses.

Inside the bus there was a small digital clock on the front. 5:25 PM, it read. 

This had been the earliest possible bus, and judging by what the ticket seller told me, we would be arriving by 1 AM or so.

It'd be a pain arriving so late at night, but I just wanted to get out of here and if this was the earliest, then I needed to fucking take it. 

Once I was there I'd find a good alleyway to sleep in, maybe kill some gnarly criminals to steal humanity from and make a bonfire.

A smile crossed my face. Oh yeah, there would be a ton more criminals, that was for sure. Easy Humanity and Soul harvesting.

Comfortable and content while thinking of murder, I simply waited for the bus to depart, relishing the luxury of traveling. My eyes closed, letting the wave of happiness take me.

!

My eyes snapped open. Eyes Everywhere had spotted a FUCKING EXORCIST climbing the bus RIGHT NOW.

It was weird, Eyes Everywhere seemed to be more subdued when I was consciously aware, as if assuming that I can control it by myself, but once I let go of the wheel E.E had absolutely no self-control. 

It's the reason why I got constantly woken up by cockroaches and insects just moving, E.E left me on hyper-edge.

And that's why I could instantly detect the exorcist entering the perimeter.

Sure, it wasn't dressed like one, with pretty normal clothes on, but I could SEE the same fucking gun and lightsaber handle from yesterday in their pockets. They were going incognito to KILL ME.

I was a fucking moron, of course these assholes would come for revenge. I instantly reached for the gun in my pockets… but stopped.

If I shot the gun, the bus most definitely wouldn't depart. At least not with me on it, and Kuoh was quickly proving to be a death trap with all these exorcists and angels looking for me.

No, I needed to get rid of them… some other way.

I frowned, how the fuck could I…?

…I looked down at my fingers. I thought of 1 USD.

Letting the powerful feeling get to my fingertips, I generated, out of thin air, a golden coin.

Hmm, I could make these coins however I wanted, right? After all, they weren't going to be used for buying things, so…

Again, I generated a coin, but made sure that it was thinner, thinner, perhaps sharper.

Another coin generated itself, much, much thinner. 1 USD read on the front of this impossible coin.

An ugly grin took over my face. Yeah, I remembered the fucking synopsis for Sharpest Shooter, this should've been enough to kill some unaware exorcists.

Now that there was one exorcist confirmed, I willed E.E to look in everyone's pockets, I didn't know if there were any more inside this bus and…

…Why the fuck were there eleven exorcists inside this bus.

Not every passenger was one, of course, but it was still a very significant number. They were spread around the vehicle. Three around the front, three around the middle, and… six around the back, where I was.

…Motherfuckers.

The exorcist I spotted climbing the bus entered and I had to watch him slowly make his way to the back. 

He looked like a normal guy, wearing a comfy-looking coat and pants, with the gun and lightsaber hidden in some hidden pockets within the coat.

Aaaand he sat right next to me. Fucking great. As he sat, he turned to me and smiled, seemingly innocently.

"Good evening. This one's going to be a long trip, yeah?"

…I forced a smile.

"Yup, one long-ass trip."

….

So this was the hobo.

He didn't get why the Fallen that's leading the whole operation insisted so fervently on eliminating this thin young man and to bring twelve exorcists into the operation. 

Frankly, it was a complete waste of personnel and resources, but alas, he was no leader to make any calls, and so he just obeyed.

The plan was rather simple. Wait until most of the bus was sleeping, hopefully the hobo would be sleeping too, then get rid of him, preferably by slitting his throat and making no mess or sound.

The twelve people on board were absolute overkill, but the Fallen was getting into hysterics when giving orders and he wasn't about to discuss logistics with a being that could tear him to shreds with a motion of her hand.

And so, he relaxed into his seat. After this was all said and done, maybe he'd go sightseeing in Kyoto. 

Sure, it'd be a very short sightseeing trip since the Youkai fucks were always alert to the likes of him, but as long as he and his team behaved they could probably take a break from being at the beck-and-call of a fucking psychotic Fallen bitch.

As soon as the clock on the front read 5:30 PM, the bus roared to life, and so began the trip.

He silently thanked God that he deemed to give him such an easy mission for no real reason. Sure, he was excommunicated and all that, but faith was faith.

By 6:23 PM, he had traded no further words with the hobo, and most people on the bus had begun drifting to sleep, if they weren't sleeping already. It was a long trip, after all.

Soon, the elimination would begin.

And so is why he got surprised by a tap on his shoulder. He turned to look at the Hobo he'd have to kill a little later. 

The hobo was looking at him while holding a small pamphlet that was inside the bus, detailing information about their destination, Kyoto.

"Yes?" he asked, because maintaining basic civility was basic for infiltration.
