Shiro grabbed another beer from the cooler before waving, "Have a good night, and may the lord protect you."
Rattus heard Shiro's bidding of farewell as he walked back to the car and glanced back a bit. As soon as he and Yukina occupied the vehicle, he immediately made its engines run and then accelerated.
Their travel back to their house was relatively long as they were not fully familiar with the layout and streets of the city, with the addition of the fairly congested traffic that the major roads had during that time. While driving, Yukina opted to ask the man behind the wheel. "Rattus-san, what do you think of Shiro-san?"
Still focused on the road, he answered "My first impressions of him is that he's suspicious of anybody and even is possibly living in fear right now."
"Why do you think so?" she asked some more.
"It's in the way he acts and answers, of course." He then shifted the transmission into its second speed. "Admittedly, he does not know every single detail Nexus City has right now and we just introduced ourselves to him tonight. But regarding the things he knew, he's not freely telling everything. But then again, we should consider his actions as an act of vigilance against any potential attackers. This is understandable due to his conditions as he is living in a church situated in a high-risk area with criminal and supernatural or paranormal activity, as exemplified by the frustrated break-in of a vampire while we questioned him. In addition to that, his church is a refuge or even an orphanage, so he sees protecting its inhabitants as a strong priority due to his allegiance to the Church."
"So are you saying that he is keeping a lot of secrets because he wants to protect the children in the church from scary creatures like vampires?" She summed up Rattus' wordy evaluation of the church-keeper.
"Yes but even then, he himself has some questions about how the city actually works." He acknowledged. "Please forgive me if I forgot to make it short for you."
"That is okay." She said and smilied, accepting the apology. "I know you are always like that, onii-chan."
He then kept driving some more, turning to the left before he asked another question. "And by the way, Schwesterchen. I saw that he whispered something to you when you asked about his abilities. What is it?"
"Um..." She was again deflated. "He said that there is something that is always watching me in this city, so I should keep things to myself as much as I could."
"He's possibly referring to the authorities of Nexus City, or something more." Rattus concluded. "But if it is true that there is always something watching everyone in here, then having too much secrecy is useless. Besides, if things like vampires exist in this city, there is a far greater possibility that a person or a creature who can watch everyone can also know everything that a person keeps, including his deepest and darkest secrets."
"D-does this mean this creature knows everything I have in mind?" She stuttered, feeling ashamed upon entertaining the thought of what Rattus said.
"It's possible that it could. But if that's true and yet, it isn't doing anything to everyone, then this observer either doesn't care at all despite of what it knows or even is doing it out of good faith and is observing us to keep everyone safe." He then turned the car to the right.
She then smiled and said, "I hope that it is keeping all of us safe."
"I hope so." He said. "But let us not assume too much."
After a few more minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the manor. Rattus finally parked the Kubelwagen in the garage and then they walked back to the living room, each of them carrying two paper bags of groceries which they then put down on the coffee table. They saw Neo sitting on the sofa and playing a fighting game on the PS3.
The blonde man saw that they finally arrived and greeted them with "Howdy, bitches. Did you finally get yourselves in a damn motel and fuck each other?"
"Neo-san, you know that it cannot be..." Yukina blushed profusely, while Rattus looked at him with a slight hint of disappointment in his face.
"Bah, who the fuck am I kiddin'?" He went back to playing his game. "You're menopausal, his dick got blasted with fucking mortar and you're both fucking prudes. So what's the chance?"
"Then why are you asking?" Rattus retorted.
"Because I'm hoping that you'll get pussy someday so you can stop having a stick up in your ass, Ratt." Neo snapped back. "I mean damn it, man. Yo' almost 250 years old and you're still a fucking cherry boy. I would have thought that you're a goddamn faggot, if it wasn't that you refused my offer to fuck you in the ass!"
"And until today, I can't believe that you offered doing that to me once. I'm terribly sorry, but I despise the thought that I have attracted the romantic affection of an unbelievably despicable personality." He said to him, in a slightly scornful tone.
"Oh, 'romantic affection', huh? Who the fuck do you think you are, you goddamn Nazi?!" Neo said distastefully. "It ain't that I want yo' ass but rather, I thought you wanted to get some dicking in there. I just wanted to help a goddamn faggot like me, until I realized you ain't one."
"Well, then I am making it clear now that I am not homosexual to any degree." Rattus proclaimed. "I'm also apathetic to any romantic or sexual matters. Do you understand that?"
"Yeah." The blonde man responded. At this point, he was already defeated by the computer in his versus game because his attention was on person talking to him. He then turned to Yukina. "Ain't that right, Jappy?"
"Y-yes..." She answered, with a hint of disappointment on her face.
"Ha ha!" He mocked her in a familiar tone, taking delight in her reaction. He then exited his game and turned off the console, saying "Okay, people. Since you two dipshits had your fucking time already in this city, it's my turn to get some poon to fuck and ass to kick. This city ain't awesome without Captain Candy Floss."
"Are you sure of that?" Rattus asked him. "Because you should better prepare yourself for this city."
"Yes, Neo-san. Somebody told us we should be careful in here." Yukina warned him.
"Yeah, they should be careful because I'm here now, motha'fuckah." He boasted.
Rattus then said, "Let me remind you that the person who warned us just turned a vampire sneaking past him into a statue while we were having a conversation. If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate the people in this city."
"I ain't." Neo began walking towards the manor's double door. As he grabbed his leather jacket from the coat and began wearing it, he said "So when I see some dumbass shit-for-brains trying to beef with me, I'm gonna give everything I have and fuck him in the ass six ways to fucking Sunday." He then dusted down the jacket he wore, before saying "Catch y'all later, assholes." while promptly going out of the house.
After they saw their companion leave, Rattus then turned to Yukina. "I guess this ends the day for me. I am feeling a slightly fatigued now and I have nothing to do anymore, so I would now go to sleep. How about you?"
"I think I would surf the Net for a few more hours, Rattus-san." she replied.
"Alright then." They then began to climb upstairs, right to their respective rooms.
