Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

Author: One Leaf Spark

Summary:

"Are you—a demon?"

The young man holding a kitchen knife smiled brightly at a minotaur that was the size of a palm and flapping its tiny wings.

"Beep! Beep!" (can't speak human language)

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. It just so happens that I don't have money to pay for food recently."

The young man's smile grew brighter.

"Who told you to eat so much? It's time for you to make some sacrifices."╭(?_?)╮

"Beep!"

To sum up, this is a story about a young man with power who exorcises spirits in order to have enough food to eat.

Volume 1: Initial Haze

Chapter 1: Dream Talk Reported by the Police Station

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast and the sun was not shining. A breeze blew, blowing the scattered leaves on the ground.

It’s the perfect time of year for a nap.

Although some people want to take a nap every day.

A small police station in Kochi Prefecture. This place can be considered as a rural area because it is mostly mountainous and the level of modernization is not high.

On weekdays, there are mostly trivial matters. Officer Sato, who has been on the job for ten years and is a bit too lazy, can be said to have encountered many strange things, and his mentality has always been good...

“But I’ve never seen this before!”

He slammed his fist on the table in a rather inappropriate manner, scaring the young man in front of him so much that he leaned back.

He did not mean to intimidate the young man in front of him. It was just a stress response due to the pent-up anger in his chest that was difficult to relieve.

Although the one who caused him to become like this was the young man in front of him who always had a smiling face.

"I said... Li..."

"Li Mengyu, Li is the surname, Mengyu is the given name, and the Chinese characters are written like this..."

The young man nodded slightly when he said his name, and he seemed to be extremely satisfied with his name... He insisted on introducing himself like this, and even took out a pen and paper from his chest pocket and wrote his name for Officer Sato to see.

Officer Sato, who has a decent education, looked at the Chinese characters on the paper. Fortunately, he recognized all of them.

"Dream talk...it's ok to just interpret it as dream talking, Mr. Li!"

"Haha, people often say that, but Mr. Officer, I never talk in my sleep..."

As if setting a bad precedent, the young man began to chatter incessantly.

A vein popped out on the officer’s forehead.

Just when the young man had finished talking about his life when he was three years old and was about to talk about his life when he was five years old.

"enough!"

The police officer finally went berserk.

"What the hell is wrong with you!"

The young man maintained a smile, with his hands spread out and raised flat on both sides of his shoulders, as if in surrender.

"Didn't I explain this to you at the beginning? I am a time traveler. Do you know what a time traveler is? It means I came from another world..."

"Don't tell me about those light novel settings!"

Officer Sato, who had heard it once... or more than once, suppressed his anger.

"This is a police station! Not a place for you little brats to vent your fantasies! Besides! You said you were a time traveler! What the hell is that?!"

He pointed to the complete identification documents on the small table, including passport, motorcycle license... and even detailed address.

"This..."

The young man laughed dryly and his eyes fell on the 2009 calendar on the table.

"If I say that I appeared in the pocket when I traveled through time..."

Got kicked out.

The young man holding his ID card still had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of bitterness.

"Really...Give me some time. I can definitely come up with other evidence."

He sighed and put all the documents into his pocket, leaving only the note with the detailed address.

I don’t know what the structure of the young man’s clothes is. Even with so many things in the pockets, there is not even a trace of bulging in them.

The young man took out a touch screen mobile phone from his other pocket. The date 2023 flashed for only a moment before turning black as he pressed the screen-off button.

He thought about going back and explaining things to the police officer, but just as he knocked on the door and stuck his head in, the police officer's angry eyes made him slowly retract his head.

"Oh, this is really difficult, there is no network..."

The young man was indeed a time traveler, and not a single word he said was false. However... the being who allowed him to travel to this world was extremely skillful and had prepared everything.

No wonder the place I landed after traveling through time was so close to the police station.

only…

The young man looked at the address in his hand.

"Without internet, I can't find the way even with navigation on my phone."

The young man who did not download the offline map had an increasingly bitter smile.

"Forget it, someone on the road should know... Let's just ask passersby."

With this idea in mind, the young man decided on a direction and walked towards it.

"Wait a minute, you didn't ask me to ask the policeman for directions from the beginning, did you?"

Most of the roads here are not concrete roads but ordinary gravel roads, which are quite difficult to walk on.

And probably because it had rained before, Li Mengyu's shoes were inevitably stained with some mud.

"Tsk."

The young man smacked his lips.

There was a stream of light on the back of the hand that formed a pattern similar to a coat of arms, but it soon dimmed.

Suddenly, fog rose around us.

The young man tilted his head.

It's really puzzling. The nearby town is right in front of me. Although there are not many people, it at least means there is a possibility to ask for the address.

The fog quickly became extremely thick, and everything I saw was pale. I could only see clearly when I put my hand 20 centimeters in front of my cheek.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Really? Can't you give me some time to react?"

The young man stopped and waited for half a day, but nothing special happened.

"Dangdang~"

Two crisp bell sounds were heard in the thick fog, and the fog began to dissipate. When the fog became thin to a certain extent, Li Mengyu saw seven strange black shadows not far in front of her, about four or five meters away.

Wearing a conical hat and a straw raincoat, he disappeared as the fog dissipated.

He stroked his chin, and the smile on his face finally disappeared.

"That's weird enough."

He murmured and looked at his left hand, only to find that the piece of paper with the address on it had been crumpled into a ball by him at some point, but fortunately it was not damaged.

He raised his eyes and looked forward.

"???"

The sky, which was sunny just now, suddenly became dark for some reason.

It only took the blink of an eye for day to turn into night. By the way, I don’t know if it’s because we are in the countryside, but the moonlight is so bright and clear that it can illuminate the entire road.

Li Mengyu's Adam's apple bulged.

"Did I touch something dirty?"

A chill crept up the young man's spine, and even the temperature around him seemed to have dropped several degrees.

It wasn't just seemingly lowered, but it was really lowered. The breath exhaled by the young man turned into a light white mist.

Suddenly, I felt a slight push on my back.

"ah!--"

Li Mengyu let out a scream that sounded very girlish, and the emblem on the back of her hand glowed brightly. She pushed the ground with one foot and suddenly jumped dozens of meters away. She turned around as she jumped forward, and the hand that was glowing with light made a gesture as if she was about to throw something.

Just as he was reacting to the stress, there was a dull sound of something falling to the ground and a soft cry.

Every syllable was heard by Li Mengyu, and the stream of light that was about to be thrown out shattered directly in his hands.

He saw clearly the culprit who caused him to feel the push on his back——

It was a little girl lying in the mud, her black hair disheveled and her face showing pain.

There was also a plastic bag lying around, and the contents inside it had also spilled out.

The girl's palm pressed on the fallen object... The hard plastic cut her fingers, and traces of bright red fell into Li Mengyu's eyes.

Chapter 2 The Cursed Girl

"Don't look at me like that!"

The drunken, fierce-looking man threw a black square box at the nine-year-old girl.

[There will be strong winds and heavy rain this evening. Please pay attention to the weather and bring an umbrella when going out.]

There was a noisy sound coming from the TV.

The aim was not very good, and the black box that was thrown out brushed the girl's hair and hit the wall, breaking into pieces.

The girl pursed her lips and lowered her head.

This kind of thing is not uncommon for girls.

She squatted down silently and picked up the broken pieces of the game console without trying to anger the drunk man.

"Don't act like you don't care! Are you the same as that woman..."

The drunk man had no intention of letting her go, but he had drunk too much, and his knees went weak as soon as he took a step forward.

He fell to the ground with a ferocious expression on his face.

He was still cursing with ugly words, but he just couldn't get up.

But in order to prevent the man from suddenly gaining strength, the girl took out a plastic bag from the wall, put the wreckage of the game console into it, and left home without looking back.

Although the man's behavior was a bit "pitiful", the girl would feel a dull pain in her left forearm whenever she thought of looking back.

After all...that man is just that kind of person.

When she was leaving home, she was seen by a neighbor who was out collecting clothes. The neighbor, who was originally smiling, became noticeably gloomy when she saw her. Her smile disappeared instantly, and she spat and cursed, "You're unlucky."

The little bit of spirit in the girl's pupils disappeared completely.

But it was okay, she was used to things like this.
