Changing Perspective --- Tilan Dedra

I ran outside after Master White gave me an order. Once again I was surprise at my own speed and stamina. Before Master White gave me his blessing, I was never this fast. I can dash with my upmost speed to reach this level, but I ended up exhausting myself.

However, I’m different now.

??

I sensed human essence ahead, and then I remembered Master White’s advice. He told me that I should avoid meeting any human for the time being.

Fufufufufu… Master is such a worrywart. He wouldn’t want me to remind them of their nightmare. However, I had prepared for this. To be scorned by them the moment they found out. I am a demon that killed them and entrapped them. So I’m ready to atone for what I had done.

Master White is really kind. While we were talking, not once did he ever ask me to atone for what I had done. He seemed like he understood me so much that I am surprise sometimes.

Ara … How bad of me. I kept thinking of him again. Before I run into that human, I focused my mana on my feet, and then I dashed. With the speed and freezing effect of my mana, I ran on the wall and kept going until I reached the ceiling. I kept running forward until I passed group of human walking.

I dropped myself from the ceiling and with a summersault I landed silently behind them. And then I kept rushing on. After running for a while, I was able to see the outside light. I dashed even faster, and then I jumped from the castle.

Feeling the fresh and cold air rushing on my face. I opened my eyes to welcome the scene of the land coming closer. Before I hit the ground, blue light magic enveloped me, and then I changed into my new form. Dark blue wing swung out and I glided in the air above the ground for a while. With a flap, I flew high in the sky.

“Hahahahah. Awesome! This is better than I thought”

I laughed out loud as I noticed the changes. I can no longer felt the pain of burning sensation on my back anymore. When I used my wing to fly before, I always felt pain as if my back is being roasted. Right now, there’s no discomfort anymore. I must thank Master White for this.

Ara… I think about him again. This is going to become a habit. I’m becoming weirder and weirder. Maybe I should make him take responsibility. Fufufufu~

I can’t help thinking of Master White’s reaction. It’s so pure that I want to tease him more. Ufufufufufu~

I flew high in the sky and span around few time before I floated in the sky.

UWAAA~ that’s awesome!. What’s is that??!!

I am currently looking at the moving jade castle from above the sky. I thought the castle was big enough, but the thing that was moving the castle was even larger.

What was his name again? Yuichi?

“End Worm”

I blurted out that the race of the monster. Ever since I became a demon, race of the monster came to my mind when I looked at it. It tells me whether I should avoid the monster or I can hunt it.

“End Worm. A calamity boss level. Danger Level Aggressive. Survival chance zero.”

Suddenly as if current ran through me, I felt my whole body tingling.

“This is too awesome. Master White is able to tame an End Worm. Just how strong is he?”

Ara~ I just can’t stop thinking about him. What should I do? I want to go back and tease Master White again. Let’s see what should I tease him next? Fufufufu~

Ara~ I can’t. Let’s hurry up and finished Master White’s order first.

“Army mobilization at the time like this. What’s the heck is going on?”

Could it be a war? No. that’s impossible. The war between the ice wolves has come to an end. The news that human got was the war was at the stalemate, but the truth is, the war has already ended. What’s happening on the surface was the war between human and ice wolf. However, the real war was between ice wolf and demon ‘Soul Incubator’. The war concluded when that lord captured the wolf queen.

That’s enough of it. At least, I know that won’t be the case. Then why the army has mobilized?

I flew high and headed toward the mass essence that I felt from afar. I flew for a while, and then the army camp came in sight. I looked at the structure of the camp and then I was surprise. The direction that they are facing.

Venolia? Why are they facing that direction? Are they going to raid Venolia? However, why? Venolia is currently a hunting ground. Why the army is prepared to raid that place? The demon in control of this city should know this fact. Why is that hag doing something like this? Did she even know this?

No – she wouldn’t let something happen. Then why? What’s the point of mobilizing the army like this? Raiding? That’s plain stupid.

The order has come and Venolia has become the hunting ground. Rodi was supposed to manage this matter. No other greater demon should interfere with it.

Did they perhaps know that the hunting ground was a failure? That’s impossible. They shouldn’t know that. Master White killed Rodi and all other demon. It would take at least 1 week or so for them to notice the absence of Rodi, and the hunting group.

For them to mobilize army this size, exactly for what reason!!! The more I think, the more frustrated I become. I couldn’t think of the reason at all. However, I knew that something bad will happen.

“I need to tell Master White quick.”

*Voom*

Suddenly, a surge of energy swept passed me. I lost control of flight for a bit, but then I recovered myself again. I was surprised at the energy, and I knew that I felt that energy before. I looked high in the sky and then I saw that purple light shone brightly and got bigger and bigger.

“That Teleportation portal is like back in Venolia. No – it’s bigger and the energy is immense. Is someone else going be to transferred?”

Kuh! As always. It’s too bright, I can’t see a thing. Damn, that light is happening above the army camp as well. It seemed like I can’t save that person.

At any rate, I need to report this back to Master White.

‘Alright, I get it. Now get back to the castle. Kori and the other need you and what you know’

“Yes, Master! Heh? MASTER??”

I said without thinking, but then I realized that Master White was talking to me. Seriously?

‘Hurry up and go back now!’

I heard his voice in my head again. Heh? Why? What’s going on? Did I miss him so much that I start to hallucinate?

‘What the hell are you still waiting for? Hurry up and go back.’

Master? Is that really you??! How can you talk to me like this??

‘We have no time to lose. Hurry up and fly back!’

Heh? What’s going on? I don’t understand, but since it’s Master White’s order. I’ll do it.

Master White. Ok. I’ll return for now.

‘Wait.’

Heh? What’s wrong now?

‘Don’t move’

Heh? Why? I don’t understand.

‘Just do what I said and don’t move.’

Hai!! I was stiffened by his word and I stood straight in the sky while flapping my wings to make myself hover in the sky.

‘Good. Now stay where you are.’

Hmm?

??

Suddenly, I sensed something approaching me in high speed. I felt the urge to move away from it immediately, but then –

‘Stand still. Don’t move. It’s me.’

Master?? It’s you?? What are you doing? You can fly? Can’t you slow down? You’re going too fast.

‘Don’t worry, I got it under control.’

O-O-O-Ok. I’ll trust you.

I answered him while stuttered. Is it ok? He’s not slowing down at all though! At his speed, even I don’t dare to take a direct collision. Sweat is coming down on my forehead, but I still can’t move.

This is harder than I thought. What should I do? I closed my eyes and cried inside my heart.

‘Tilan-chan. Brace yourself.’

Nooooooo!!! Don’t say something dangerous like that!

While I was screaming inside, I felt Master White’s hand lightly tapped on my shoulder. Awesome! I can’t feel the pressure from his speed at all. How do he do that?

It happened so fast that I barely saw everything. After he grabbed my shoulder, I saw his body still moving forward in a fast pace, but it seemed slow as if time stopped.

Uwaa. So close. His face is so close. How beautiful. I think that I am really lucky to have you as my master.

However, what is he trying to do?

“Sorry. Tilan. Endure this for abit ok?”

“Heh?”

I gave him a stupefied look. And then I felt his feet is firmly standing on my shoulder. And then I realized what he was going to do.

“Arh-”

*BOOM*

Before I could finished saying anything. I felt tremendous pressure, and then I was blown away toward the ground fast. I span and rotated wildly in the air, and I couldn’t my wings at all. And then I plummet down to the ground hard.

Pfft-

I spat out the snow in my mouth, and then I crawled back up from the crater. And my whole body is trembling from anger.

Master White –

“MEANY!!!! Just wait until I get back!!!”

I flapped my wings again and flew back to the castle.

Changing Perspective --- Shu Shikure (White Fang)

Did I overdo it?

However, it’s can’t be help. I can’t fly you know. If I kept going this way, I am bounded to fall before reaching that camp.

And so I decided to use her as a foothold and launch myself again. Well, boost with ‘Sprint’ and qi, I shot upward like a missile. And Tilan-chan, she was nowhere to be found.

However, seeing the crater on the ground, I apologized to her in my head.

However the problem is at hand. Coming this far, that purple light become clear. I’m surprise that Yuichi is able to see Bell inside the light. Even I’m this close, I barely make out her figure.

“Heightened Sense : Perception”

My vision changed and then it pierced through the purple light, and then I saw her. Bell in her usual maid clothes was currently floating inside the purple light. And the purple mist is currently enveloped her.

Thank to my passive ‘Spiritual Perception’, I was able to see what is going inside the purple light.

“Mana Construction”

Those purple misty is currently constructing mana inside her body. This is tremendous. The size of her mana is incredible. I don’t think it’s any lesser than mine.

What the heck is going on? No – there’s no time to think about it.

All the purple mist was sucked in by her, and the purple light vanished. Oh shit, she’s falling. Was that light kept her floating? Damn, she’s falling fast as well. This is bad, the direction I’m heading straight is a bit off.

Is there any way to slow down? Damn!

“Light Shield!”

I created light shield thinking that it could stop me, and then I can change my trajectory. However, I just went through it without any resistance. Damn, I forgot the effect of the light shield which doesn’t repel the user.

I should have used a double layer! There’s no more time. It take time to cast the double layer. There’s no time, at this rate, I’m going too fast.

“Ice Shield!”

*Fishu~*

Uwaa~ I’m going to cry. Why the materialized shield got disintegrated the moment I got close to it. Aren’t you supposed to stop me??

Damn! If I knew this, I should have learned multiple movement skill. When I get back, I’m going to find any skill that can make me fly!

Let’s risk it all.

“Ice Domain!”

My ring flashed and then cyan light burst out from my own body. This is? My soul seed? The soul seed feed energy into the ring, and then it underwent transformation.

Now of all time?? I don’t have time to check it out.

“Ice Domain!”

??

The skill is not activated. What the hell is going on?! As I concentrated on the skill, I sensed that the skill has evolved. Is it because of the ring? At any rate –

“Divine Domain : Ice Sphere”

??

This skill. The effect is too great. I can practically feel of all the ice mana and particle inside the air. Moreover, I feel like I complete control inside this domain.

Now with this –

I controlled the ice mana and formed into ice particle. And then I rearrange it into a barrier pushing against me to change my trajectory. Ohhh~ this is working!!

While I was flying, I noticed that the army below is causing a ruckus. I don’t think this is will be a happy clash. Even if I have to fight the whole army, I’ll bring Bell back unharmed!

NOW GO!!!

…

Changing Perspective --- Army side

“General!!!”

“What’s wrong?!”

“There is a strange purple light happening above the camping ground.”

“What!!”

I shouted, and then I stood up. I followed the soldier and walked outside. At first, I was really frustrated at the order when the Duke order for army mobilization. Since the war has ended and all the ice wolf is no longer found, but the Duke made this order. So everyone was bewildered.

I got out of the tent and I looked up to the sky. And then I was shocked.

“DEFENSIVE FORMATION!! MAGE! PUT UP A PROTECTIVE BARRIER!! INFANTRY!! PUT UP MAGIC REINFORCEMENT! IT’S A MAGIC ATTACK!!!”

I gave out an order immediately, and then the soldier started to carry out my order. What’s with that light? I’m having a really bad feeling. Is this an attack? The scale of that mana is incredible. If that’s really an attack, then I’m afraid that the barrier made by our mage squad wouldn’t be able to hold it. However, there’s no way that we will run from this.

If it’s really the attack, then we will take it. Even if it’s just a little, we’ll lessen the attack. No matter what, we can’t let it get to the city. We must protect our family from Venolia.

“MEN! WE’LL STAND OUR GROUND HERE. NO ENEMY SHALL GET PASS!!!”

“HAAAAAHHH!!”

They shouted vigorously. Good. I gave a glance toward my subordinates, and they gave me an understand nod. They all understood my intentions. They also has families under the Topel’s soldier watch. That’s why they can’t disobey their order. And they know more the better that they had to protect their family.

“MEN. GET READY.”

“HAAAAAHH!!”

I gave the order when the purple light intensified. I wondered if this is our last time fighting together. I really wanted to see Sir Paricel, our true lord once last time and apologized that we left Venolia. However, it seemed that we won’t have the time to do so. I really missed Venolia.

The light got bigger and bigger, and I thought that we all were to going to die, but then strangely, the purple light retracted itself and then it disappeared completely.

??

We were dumbfounded at that sight, because what’s left of that purple light is a human.

“Mage?”

“It’s a maid! YOU IDIOT”

“Why the maid is falling from the sky?”

“I think she’s a mage!”

“She’s a maid. Look at that frill dress.”

“Why a mage can’t wear frill dress?”

“Why? Look at our mage squad!”

“Block head, why would you compare with them? They don’t even know what fashion sense mean?!!”

“What’s the hell? Say that again?!! See if I dare or not to screw your ass with an ice spike.”

“Try me! I’ll see if you have the ability or not!!”

“SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!! WHERE THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE??!!”

“We apologize, sir!”

“Hurry up and release the barrier. That girl has something to do with that strange light. Capture her.”

“Haaa!”

“GENERAL!!”

“What’s again??!! You’re not going to tell me, it’s monster’s attack this time?!!”

“Yes, sir. I expect it so!”

“What did you say? How many are there?”

“One sir. And it is flying extremely fast. And it is heading toward us.”

“Don’t release the barrier! Keep it open! Archery Squad, Get ready!! Infantry! Arial Defensive formation!”

*BOOM*

Suddenly, there’s a loud clash against the barrier. The barrier shook violently trying to hang on.

It’s too fast! We were distracting by the purple light, and we didn’t noticed that it was coming this fast.

“Ice Lance Ready!”

“WAIT!”

I stopped the mage squad as I noticed the one that was coming was actually a man. Something’s strange. Who is that man? How can he stand on that barrier like it was nothing?? It was supposed to repel anything that close to it.

To stand on that barrier like that, he’s not normal. At least he might be an expert. He started running on the barrier, and his speed increase steps b steps on the barrier surface.

That man is started running toward the falling girl. However, the barrier is wide and big, sadly he won’t be able to reach her in time. She would be repelled by the barrier away.

“General? Order?”

“Stand down.”

As a general, I know that I have to do something this situation, but there’s nothing that I can do at all. And I want to see what that man can do as well.

*Boom*

Suddenly, as that girl was about to touch the barrier, that man formed a fist and struck the barrier.

*Boom* *Shattered*

With a simple punch, he destroyed the barrier. Rather than letting her touch the barrier, he’d rather destroying it and kept her letting her fall. That man stepped on something and made a dash toward the girl. However, descending in faster rate, that girl will reach the ground before he did.

“Sadly, it’s going to end soon. Men, get ready!”

Suddenly, we all felt a strong fluctuation of mana.

*Voom*

“What??!!”

We all screamed because suddenly, a crater was formed right below that girl. And then that man who know when had appeared in the crater below that girl waiting for her.

And then that girl started to slowly descend from the sky falling safely in that man’s arm.

“Impossible”

I blurted as so because of the scene in front of me. The flat land of the camp, suddenly a crater appeared immediately. Magic to change the terrain – no, the ability to do so at will isn’t something normal people can do.

The more I look at that man, I’m surprise and fear at the same time. Some instinct is telling me that he is dangerous.

“M-Men! Surround!”

I gave an order and then infantry surrounded the crater. I took out my sword out and walked toward the crater as well.

“Be vigilant!”

“Haahh!”

We got closer and closer to the mysterious man and woman. However, I realized that his hair is white.

“Saint?”

“I say, General-san. Sheath that sword away and lets have a nice conversation. Shall we? We both don’t want blood to be spilled, no?”

That mysterious man said while glancing at me. I felt shiver as I sense his stared.

“Stand down. Sheath your sword.”

I ordered my men and sheathed my own sword.

“My name is Leopard. I wonder what Great Saint is called? And what business do you have in our military camp?”

“Great Saint? Hohoho~ so I see. That’s what you call someone like me heh?? Hahaha. You can call me White. Rest assure. I’m not violent and I’d like to solve thing peacefully. My sister and I experience some error in our experiments. And she got transferred here. So I’m just coming to get her. I have no bad intention to your troupe or this camp. With this reason, I hope that you would let me go with just this”

Like hell it is! Who would believe when you release such intense killing intent?!! What’s with not violent?! You killed everyone if they made a single move!!

I wanted to scream, but I held it in. I wiped the sweat on my forehead and then I looked at him. Someone with a status of a Saint, he is respected and loved by the country because of his talent, and at the same times, they are lofty and arrogant.

“Thank you for your benevolent. Great Saint. If it were a normal situation. We would have prepared a banquet to welcome you. Sadly, your coming is too unexpected, so we didn’t prepare anything for you. However, since that you have come, wouldn’t you want to rest here for a while? To be honest. That magic earlier has caused such a big commotion. So I believe that the Duke has been aware of it, and he will sent people here. So I implore you to stay and explain.”

“General-san, aren’t you asking me too much? My sister’s mana is really unstable, so what’s if the energy blast out again? Then wouldn’t be a catastrophe to your army?”

Energy Blast out? That’s was a blast out? It indeed would be a catastrophe if that would happen again. Then wouldn’t it be safer to send him off, then –

“Wait. On the second thought, I shall gladly accept your offer.”

Arh – it’s too late.

Changing Perspective --- Shu Shikure(White Fang)

Why didn’t I think of it? Isn’t it obvious?

I was so obsessed in saving Bell and trying to leave. I almost forgot about another thing.

Since that I’m in Topel now, why wouldn’t I do the recon myself? I can just ask around and know more about the situation in Topel.

Besides, Bell is currently unconscious. I can’t basically carry her and cross 40 km back to castle on Yuichi. I can’t fly back like how I came, the heck, I can’t even fly! That’s because I had Yuichi help me. He gave a strong throw and shoot me like a bullet.

Why wouldn’t it be better if I stay here? The general even provided me a place to stay. Besides, these guy are my ally.

NameLu LeopardRaceHumanTitle[General of Topel], [Former General of Venolia], [Sacrificial Pawn]ClassKnightLevel45HP8750/8750MP3250/3250Current Status

Former General of Venolia, he must be one of the people that Paricel told me about. I glanced around the place, and everyone was exactly the same. They are former Venolia’s soldier which was brought to Topel’s front line.

Paricel must be happy if he knew that his army are still in one piece.

“General. I hope that you would prepare me and my sister a place to stay.”

Seemingly stunned, I woke the general up from his thought.

“This –”

Hmm? Why is he hesitating? Is it because I scared him before? Seriously? I didn’t expect it to work though. It seems like he need a push.

“General, in fact I won’t be here long. I intend to travel to Venolia, but then accident happened in the middle of way, and my sister’s unstable mana blast out. And I followed her here.”

“Great Saint, can I ask why would you want to travel to Venolia?”

Seeing that I mention Venolia, he asked me immediately.

“Why? To visit my old friend of course! Paricel and I had survive together during the fight with the Calamity beast. We are good of friend, and I intend to bring my sister there to visit my friend. And who would have thought that my sister would have her curse act on her again.”

Oh yeah, deception at its finest. Sorry, not a single word of that was true. It was just information I piled up from Paricel.

The general and other soldier heard that I was Paricel’s friend, they started to brighten up and loosen their guard.

“This is such a disgrace, to think that I would be so rude to Paricel-sama’s friend. Please forgive me. MEN! Prepare place and feast for Great Saint. We’ll treat him with the best we can!!”

“Haaahh!!”

Nodded and shouted in agreement, the soldier started to disperse from the crater.

“This way, Great Saint”

The general bowed and leaded me the way. Since I was lying, I should be surprise that this army treated me so kindly because I’m just Paricel’s friend.

“General. You guy seem happy when I mentioned about Paricel. Do you have any special relationship or something?”

“This –”

The general seemed to hesitate, but then she stared me in the eyes looking a bit guilty.

“The truth is, I and everyone here are former soldier of Venolia and we used to work for Paricel-sama. However, we moved here and become Topel’s soldier instead.”

I gave him a surprise look.

“Please, don’t misunderstand Paricel-sama. He didn’t do anything. It was us who quit Venolia ourselves. Paricel got nothing to do with this. It was us who gave up on him and betray him. If I ever meet him again, I would kneel to apologize and accept any kind of punishment he gave!”

“General, you don’t have to think like that. Paricel love his people more than anything. And besides, you guy must have your own reasons. Paricel must understand your situation. That’s why he let you go, and he isn’t the guy who minds over something like that. So I think that it is alright.”

“I have heard that Saint are lofty and arrogant individual. However, you are different. You are kind, wise and polite. I admire your character and I think this is how saint should be. You are truly worthy of Paricel-sama’s friend. I’m happy that Paricel-sama can have you as a friend.”

I smiled to his sincere answer. This feeling of comraderies, Venolia’s people truly love their leader. Paricel, you really are a lucky guy.

“Hahaha. You flatter me. General. Oh, wait for a minute, I’ll fix something”

As we got out of the crater, I turned around and activated ‘Divine Domain : Ice Sphere’ again and fill the crater again. Truly convenient, I think I can construct the same castle with lower mana consumption now.

“Marvelous! Your strength are truly great. This is the first time I see someone control the ice at will like this. Great Saint, are you already a grandmaster level?”

Heh? Was it too abrupt? Control At will? I only did the thought incantation. He was this surprise? Oh wait, not just him, everyone else is gasping with their mouth open. Perhaps the thought incantation and incantation omission is rare.

I need to be careful casting magic before people from now on.

“Hahahaah, you flatter me again. That was just an effect of the skill I chant before, since the effect haven’t ran out, so I can use it without chanting. As for my level, I’m not at that high yet and I think that there are too many things that I still don’t know.”

“You don’t have to be modest. Great Saint, all of us here know how strong you are, and if you wish to have your secret kept hidden, then we all will keep our mouth shut.”

“Then I’ll thank you for that.”

“Yes, and lets us carry on now.”

The general said so and then he leaded me toward an empty camp. It’s new. Did they just prepare it? What a hardworking bunch! I quickly go to the bed and laid Bell down.

As I paid closer attention to Bell, I noticed that there is a trace of blood on her mouth. I wiped it off, and then I sat down beside the bed thinking of the past. This wound, I remember that she got it from the backlash when she tried to protect me with a ‘Light Shield’.

“Goddess Embrace”

I healed her with a healing magic while placing my hand on her forehead. While caressing her head and healing her at the same time, I thought about our first encounter. Come to think of it, it’s been few day since I came to this world. And I messed up a big time. I got myself in one hell of the quest with less than 0.1% to survive. There’s no way out of it other than clearing it as well. There’s a few times I risked my life fighting as well. There is a sad time and frustrated time which I had to adapt to this new world, but I also take my time experience this game like as well.

And I’ll think that I’ll treasure all the encounter I had this time.

“This time for sure, I’ll protect everyone –”

Hmm? Lost in my own thought, I said something strange. Why did I say that again? What’s exactly happen in that 4 years? What was it again? I don’t remember it at all. (Note: he meant the time that he lost memory of it – The 4 years which was his study years.)

“Hmm…”

Slightly groaned, Bell opened her eyes while I was thinking.

“You are awake. Are you alright? Are you still in pain somewhere?”

“Where –”

Asking and looking around with her half closed eyes, she stopped when she looked at me, and then her mouth started to tremble slightly.

“Shu-onii-sama?”

I opened my eyes wide and I was surprise. I had been called White so many times, when I heard someone recognized me and called me real name again. It felt really warm.

“Shu-onii-sama. Is that you? Is that really you?”

Still slightly tremble, she extended her hand toward me. I grabbed her hand tightly and smiled warmly at her.

“You’re right. It is me. It is really me.”

“Really? I’m glad. I’m so relieved.”

Saying so, tears fall from her eyes. And then she started crying loudly as she hugged me tightly. I embraced her back until she stopped crying.

Wiping her own tears, she separated from me and looked at me in the eyes.

“Shu-onii-chan. You have to promise me that you wouldn’t do something like that again.”

Putting on the serious mode, she said. I nodded in agreement and she had me done the pinky swear.

“Even I look different, how do you recognize me, Bell?”

“Hmph Hmph. Even if you become ash or bone, I would recognize you in one glance. This is my power, my love!!! Don’t underestimate Stalker – no, I mean love maiden!”

So you admit it huh? Stalker!

However, something like love? Wouldn’t that be the status she had? Did she recognize me through that? I wondered if it triggered some sort of feeling inside her when she see me.

“Shu-onii-sama. What happened to your hair?”

Staring at my white hair, she asked me with sad face.

“They just turn white. It’s alright. Well, it’s a long story. In any case, you don’t have to worry.”

“Don’t tell me – in order to save me, you trained to the pinnacle of mankind, and then you travelled back in time to save me by using all of your lifeforce?”

What kind of setting is that??!!! The heck, she even knew about time travelled!!

“No, I didn’t. And why you know about time travel?! Does time machine really exist?”

No, She replied and she said there is time magic instead.

“Then, Shu-onii-sama, did you perhaps lost to a demon lord Sapopo, but with the grace of god, you are allowed to see me again for a short period of time?”

“Like hell it is, why would I accept something like the grace of that lazy and useless god?!”

“Then, using the experience and magic knowledge, you and Sapopo revive me using forbidden magic art which use most of your vitality”

“Why is Sapopo helping me??? Isn’t he a demon lord??!!”

“He is. However, moved by your care and love for me which reminded of his dear beloved sister, he decided to help –”

Demon lord-san! You’re so manly!!

“Feel sympathy for your lost, Sapopo decide to help you. He then remember the bittersweet memories of him peeking at his sisters in the bath –”

Isn’t he just a pervert??!!

“Feeling that you are one of the same. He decide to risk his life to help you.”

LIKE HELL!! I’m not a siscon!!! I’m a pure Onii-chan!! My love is pure!!

“In the middle of chanting the ancient magic, an accident happened –”

There’s more of it??!!

“The closest subordinator of Sapopo, Sakiti who had always hated the demon lord and always wanted to claim the demon lord position, using this chance which the demon lord is vulnerable, he stabbed him from behind.”

And there’s even a twist plot??!!

“However, using his will and strength, Sapopo gritted his teeth and endure the pain. No matter what, he didn’t allow the magic circle to fail. And in the end, he died with a smile after the magic succeed.”

NO!!!! SAPOPO!!!!!

“Driven by pain and hatred, you killed Sakiti on the spot in revenge for Sapopo. And then you take me to a safe place. Tell me, Shu-onii-chan, am I right?”

“That’s really some interesting setting, but it’s way off from the reality.”

“Eh? Really?”

“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you found that it’s strange for the story to develop like that?”

“So, it wasn’t like that?”

“Yeah, it wasn’t something like that.”

“Then, tell me what’s really happened.”

Since she asked me with a sparkle eyes, I started telling her of what really happened. The story on how I got into a complicated quest, the fact that everyone that is around me that night got caught into this mess, the fact that I met with the childish ice spirit, and my intention to clear this quest.

Of course, I skip over all of the life threatening moment. I didn’t want her to worry over troublesome stuff. I talked about Kori and Yuichi who is my close tamed beast, and of course, I skipped a certain pervert. Besides, I seriously have no idea to talk that pervert as well.

A demon? A former human that got transformed into a demon? Succubus? I seriously didn’t know. However, no matter I talked happily with her, and she is listening cheerfully to me as well.

“hohohohoh~ White Fang, heh? Not bad. Mrs, Fang, certainly not bad at all!!”

I heard some scary word that Bell muttered to herself.

While discussing trivial stuff with her, a soldier came to tell us that the feast is ready. And so we got off the tent and went to the feast. Surprisingly, everyone is drinking and eating. Is soldier allowed to do this?

I was told that everyone had a high alcohol resistance so it was fine, and so I didn’t inquire further. They know their stuff, so if enemy attack, they might snapped from this festival mood and engaged in battle. What a hardworking and flexible bunch!

However, just as we were having our feast, problem came. A carriage accompany with a heavy knight squad came to the army camp. And then in the carriage, came out a graceful lady in her mid 20s.

“We have heard that a great and honor saint had come to visit our most front city, Topel. In such occasion, Duke of Topel is inviting great saint to a feast and a tour in wish that we would build a good relationship with you.”

That lady said in a graceful and polite manner which was really mesmerizing. Everyone would have fallen for her the moment she walked out. She is really pretty enough for make everyone fall on the ground, combined with her manner, it could be said that she is the perfect lady.

However, it was sad she is dealing me. With my normal perception, I could tell that she isn’t normal. And with ‘True Reading’, her race came as Soul Incubator.

For the demon to come to me herself, I feel that this wouldn’t be a normal feast and tour. Tightly grabbing my hand, Bell is worriedly looking at me. Maybe, she notice that I was slightly knitted my eyebrows, that’s why she is concern.

I smiled back at her, and grabbed her hand back.

No matter what, I’ll protect her.
