《My Inner Demons》I'm So Done (Ch20)
Advertisement
We get outside and Asch immediately goes to kill me, but Rhys stops him. "Prince Asch you must calm down. Killing her in a public place will expose us." Rhys explains calmly while Asch growls.
"I don't care she needs to die!" He snaps and I glare at him, "Now is not the time Asch! I need to discuss with all of you the behaviour you had in the place of pizza." I demand. I've truly lost my shit.
For once in their stupid lives, they listen to me and shut up, "Okay so I've been studying humans for the entire time we've been here. I've noticed they don't like yelling, fighting, killing or being told what to do. ALL OF WHICH you guys tend to do an excessive amount of here!"
"Also, Ava doesn't like stressful situations, my best guess is other humans don't either. So don't stress them out! And lastly, don't fight over courtship of Ava, it's her choice to make." I say finishing my lecture. They all either nod or roll their eyes at me but I don't care. They listened.
"But also on the topic of courting Ava, Noi. I understand that this was your 'mission' but it seems all the guys want a chance, Ava being a sorceress and a 'princess'. So it's now all of your mission I guess?" I say looking at all of them.
"What about you y/n?" Rhys asks and I shake my head in response.
"I don't intend to court Ava. I do intend to stop you guys from hurting her or pressuring her in any way though. If you do I won't hesitate to hurt or even kill you, Noi I won't kill you, but I will beat the crap out of you. We don't know how courting works here but if you all truly intend to court her you're going to do it the way they do on Earth." I say to all of them and once again, some nod and others just roll their eyes.
"On that note, we aren't on Daemos anymore prince Asch. Ava is fair game for any of us." Leif states and I roll my eyes, knowing I'm going to have to keep him in check.
If I'm going to give my personal opinion on the matter of courtship I would choice Pierce or Rhys to court Ava. Sure their intentions may be for power but that's not the complete reason. For Asch and Leif it is the complete reason. Noi just loves anyone who shows affection toward him and being the lowest ranking I know how badly he wants to rank up, courting Ava would do that.

On top of all that two people who "want" to court Ava really shouldn't because they actually like each other... *Cough* Noi and Leif.
"What." Asch growls and Rhys quickly explains his point of view, "Prince Asch, just because Leif switches between loyalties doesn't mean he speaks for all of us. Allow me to explain, determined as we all may be to get magic from E-earth, Ava's parents may not allow you to marry her. Which means it's better to have many options as opposed to one."
I nod in agreement to Rhys, "He's right. But at the same time, all of you could end up not being chosen by Ava. You have to all keep that in mind." I add.
"If one of us courts her, would Ava come to Daemos with us?" Noi asks and I look over to him to see his face start to do the red thing that Ava's does.
"Wait... Can humans and Daemos even-" Noi goes to say something but thank the gods he was cut off by Ava and her parents coming out of the place of pizza. I did not want to see where that conversation was going.
"She's alright Noi and friends?" Andrew says questioning the presence of the others.
"Ava!" I go up to her and hug her, "I'm glad you're okay. You didn't hurt yourself fainting did you?" I ask looking at her and she shakes her head.
"I'm okay y/n. Really." She smiles at me and I smile back, I always feel so happy around her. Is this what it's like to care about someone?
To have a friend?
"Ava, do you care to tell us what's going on?" Devon asks and Peirce says what I hoped these idiots wouldn't say so unbelievably bluntly, "I would like for Ava's hand in marriage."
I facepalm and groan at his bluntness and blatant stupidity, "Pierce. Did you not listen to, anything?!" say ask raising my voice slightly at the end as I glare ay him.
Ava goes red and Andrew goes wide-eyed, "Who are you even supposed to be?!" He asks confused out of his mind. I don't blame him honestly.
"No, I want to marry her!" Noi exclaims and I look at him with utter shock, not missing Leif's growl though, "Did you not just hear me tell Pierce off for that?!" I ask if they've gone back to ignoring me I swear-

"That's right Noi you fight for your girl!" Devon exclaims. Okay, now I'm confused. What?
"Pop!" Ava yells her face going redder and redder. Andrew looks at his husband in shock, "Devon what are you doing?!"
"I'm marrying the princess!" Asch yells, once again I feel a pain in my chest, it's barely noticeable but it's there. Okay, it must be to do with protecting Ava. I really can't think of another reason.
"Aww, princess!" Devon says in awe and once again I am confused. Leif appears next to Ava, "if you want strong offspring I suggest-" Leif goes say himself but Pierce cuts him off.
"Me, I am suited for her." Pierce states. "No, I was going to say me!" Leif argues and I just hang my head in embarrassment. Okay, I have officially given up. I'm so utterly done with this crap.
"What does offspring mean?" Ava asks Leif, I look at her wide-eyed and pray Leif doesn't answer. Luckily Andrew covers her ears and looks at Leif, "Don't listen to these- wait. Did I have a dream about this before?" Andrew asks.
Crap he might be remembering what happened with the camera!
Devon gasps, "I've always wanted to be a grandpa!" He states. Wait, what is happening...
"Devon stop encouraging this! This isn't a movie- wait! Y/n, you seem reasonable, what's going on?!" Andrew asks me and I just look at him with apologetic eyes.
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me," I say simply and just look at the situation at hand. Why is this my life? Why? Someone help me. Please and thank you.
"We are all the boyfriends of Ava." Rhys states and I look at him with a face of 'oh my Gods, you're so stupid. Why are you like this?'.
Ava looks like she's about to pass out again and her dads look confused out of their minds.
"What do you mean you're all Ava's boyfriends?" Andrew asks and Devon looks at him in shock, "Darling. Our baby has a harem!" Devon states, oh no. Ava, I feel so bad for you right now.
"That doesn't make it sound any better!" Andrew exclaims and Devon still looks at him in shock, "okay hear me out, I used to watch a tonne of anime-"
"You still do!" Andrew says cutting Devon off, "I think what they're trying to say is all of these men are hopelessly in love with our baby because we raised such a beautiful young lady." Devon says happily and I just wanna lay down.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I feel it best we continue this conversation at Ava's place. Discussing things like this so loudly in a public setting my not be a good idea." I say to everyone, mainly Ava and her dads.
Everyone agrees so we all leave to Ava's home. Hopefully, it will be of a more contained conversation then.
When we get there I just flop onto the couch and ignore everyone entirely. At some point, Ava's Dads lecture the guys but I don't listen.
All I'm focused on it the strange feelings Earth has given me. Am I starting to care about people other than Noi? Oh no. What if I become too soft and show too much kindness... What if I love someone?! I would go from one of the strongest Daemos to weakest for sure.
Damn it Earth what are you doing to me?!
"Hey y/n?" Andrew asks and I turn my attention to him, "Yes?" I reply waiting for him to tell me what he wants to tell me.
"Can you watch over Ava for us?" He asks and I look at him confused, Devon must have noticed as he adds to what Andrew said.
"We noticed you value our Ava's safety and even yell at the guys when they're being too pushy with her. We really appreciate it and we wanted to ask... If you would keep doing it." Devon says hopefully, I smile and them and nod.
"Of course," I say happily and the two parents smile brightly at me.
"We're so happy Ava has a friend like you," Devon says with stars in his eyes.
I don't know why, but these words make me feel... Happy. I like this feeling.

Let's Shine
So, first things first, this here is a magical girl thing. There are girls in it, they have magical abilities, fight supervillains (who have magical abilities, too, but in a more menacing way, like superpowers), and also do girly stuff. But it's not for children. Or at least not entirely. The idea is, it should be cute, but at the same time serious. Cute-serious, yeah… So, this is experimental for me. I'm planning to make short updates for as long as I can keep it up or until the plot resolves itself, whichever comes first. Most of all, I'm planning to not overthink or overedit things as much as I usually do, so there are bound to be mistakes and inconsistencies. I'll try my best to keep them to a minimum, though. But if you notice something, please feel free to tell me!
