Keito, and by himself.

"Naaaaattt! You around?" Keito's voice echoes in the hall, and you peer out the door to get a look at him as he stands by himself. He remains cheerful and almost innocent looking with that face of his. It didn't fit someone whose an adult. Young, wide eyes and with skin way to clean for most people his age. It was easy to see why, girls your age were so into in him. A little on the smaller for a guy, but that only added to his pure look.

Objective for the first round issued:

Slay Orthus

Reward: 3000 seeds.

Failure: Will result in not surviving the first round. Not surviving the first round will result in ****. **** will result in failure of the first round.

The phone alert is enough to get both your and Keito's attention, who pushes open the door as you mainly keep to a corner, still worried about a random passerby seeing you. "Nat! Hows it....oh, wow." His already generally wide eyes, expand further as he eyes you from top to bottom. "I didn't really think, that you'd end up looking this cool." He leans upwards with his hand drawing it close to top of your head. "Those ears....they look so fuzzy, can I touch?"

Smacking his wrist away, is the immediate reaction. "Fuck off. " Keito looks like a kicked puppy while rubbing where you smacked him, but he pulls back. "I'm a demon now because I took your stupid idea of help!" The accusation only causes him to frown a bit and look confused.

"....so? You were already a demon before now. I don't get what the problem is. Besides, whose gonna care about looking normal when demons take over the city?" Everything in his tone is utterly accepting of what he just said as if merely pointing out the obvious. "Wait. What?" You knew he was going to know something but it was still not something that you were expecting to hear.

"Well, geez. No need to growl at me." He looks annoyed, and before you can protest that you weren't, you hear it too. A low pitched sound of a canine growling, like something is getting too close to it's food. Looking out the window, you see it for a few seconds and both your human and newfound feline instincts tell you to duck back and hide. "Holy shit."

"What?" Keito takes a half glance at the window, as you creep to catch a glimpse. A mass of yellow fur and at a scale of a size, to big for any normal dog breed. As it's head lowers to sniff along the ground, it rotates a bit and a second head is visible. Both of them look vicious as they explore their environment, in search of something. "What the fuck is that?"

"Oh, that's just an Orthus." Keito is not all worried. "It's probably just here to kill another player, is all. The game actually launched not too long ago." It doesn't take you long to process the situation while trying to get a look at the monster. "It's here for me. I'm supposed to kill it." While you debate what exactly to do, Keito grabs your phone without warning and looks it over. "Dick! Give it back!"

"Oh, see? It doesn't actually say you need to be the one to kill it. Technically, if you were in a group and someone else killed it? It would still count as you doing it. This thing is totally weak anyway. I could **** it, no problem. Plus, like most fire types? Weak to ice? Guess what thing I'm best at?" Keito has great enthusiasm, as you can only glare at him. "So if I let you kill it, then what do you want?" He stills smiles, as if the answer is obvious.

"Lemme scratch those ears. Seriously."
