Chapter 6.

The book.

Sitting on the Gothic-style armchair, he wears a black shirt, with the amulet around his neck and black trousers and taps his fingers on the armrest; and he is furious but he cannot let himself be abandoned when he returns to his origins, now they are different demons; they know how to control themselves. But that doesn't mean he won't do anything. Then he takes a deep breath, takes the forbidden book that is lying on the table and starts leafing through the pages, the one with the drawings, since they relax him a lot.

Those scenes where humans are attacked by a huge white sea beast puts him in a good mood. Yeah, Kalego likes human books, but unfortunately he can't read them. He also spends a fortune if one of these appeals to him, they are irresistible and he would pay for a translator or a magic formula that he can do. But the books of humans are unknown even for their magic. Already they alone are fairy tales for children, but he knows well instead that they exist outside this world and he also knows that they are similar to them, but they are also weak, ephemeral, without magic, in short, a race not to be considered; since even the poorest among them can kill them and steal their souls. But he must admit that they have a lot of imagination and a bit of charm? Since they write addictive books.

So in the meantime, he also takes the strange white pyramid in his hands; where he first observes her and then thinks that out of spite, he should break it and then deliver it to the owner and then enjoy her face. A bad thing to do, but after all he dared to stand him up, so if he deserves it!

Thus, with the book in his lap and the object in one hand, he begins to press it from the tip, but instead of breaking, he first hears a click and after seeing the object light up, it disappears in a strong light.

He appears after sitting on the ground, in a strange sand-colored room and the first thing he feels is so much nausea, he feels his stomach upset and realizes that it is the disgusting and benevolent energy of the place that provokes him.

Then he sees someone from behind and notices her well and she is naked ... indeed she is half naked, because she is wearing only white panties and it is understood that she is a woman. One with curves and cellulite, short and not at all elegant, in short, one who would never attract his attention on a sexual level, not even praying to him, but then, she turns around and notices that he has untied brown hair that reaches her shoulders, brown eyes and a face he knows, that when she sees him on the ground, in a moment of pause, where the two look at each other, more Kalego who can now see the breast and a large scar on her left shoulder.

Annabel: "Waaaa but what ?! Ka- Kalego how did you get here ?! And and.... Pervert!"

And she finally covers herself with a towel while she gets rimmed in the face.

Kalego: "Eeeeeh how dare you! You show up naked and insult me ​... what indecency!"

With this, he covers his face with the book and closes his eyes because it has made him uncomfortable anyway, but then he feels that he is lacking in strength, something is sucking them from above and therefore, he raises his head and sees a strange ring and his dark demon energy being sucked into this one. Then he raises his finger and begins with a spell, which is blocked by Annabel, who stops him and tells him:

"Don't do it! Do you want to trigger the alarm ?! And then it won't work since you're in the priestesses' camp!"

"Eeeeeh what? And leave me! That thing is taking my energy away!"

"But necessarily this is his job, to purify this environment from the malevolent and negative ones and if you destroy it ... a strong alarm will go off and the other priestesses will rush here to disintegrate you!"

Kalego doesn't like this, because if he's telling the truth, who knows how many there are and he won't be able to fight them all, it's crazy, so he lowers his finger and then she takes him by the wrist saying:

"Come on! I'll take you to a place where you can stay!" He lets her do it since she doesn't have much choice and takes him away from the object and makes him sit on the ground in a darker area, where she too pulls some dark curtains and tells him:

"Stay here! You can recover your energy, I'll be right back!" She softly though.

The other without strength, grins only and then closes the curtains in his face, where if he had calmed down before, now he has changed his mood again! But then Annabel adds:

"Don't let your anger out, which is worse! Try to stay calm!"

The one who gives him orders, seriously ?! Since he has risen to rank 8 no one can do it! Well yes of course except Principal Sullivan .. but the others owe him respect! Same thing for outsiders to this world! But for now he just recovers his strength. Then he notices to his left a cactus, but not a normal one, big and tall, blue in color and then ... to his right, the bottle of the ointment he had given her.

"What the hell ... and what's this cactus doing here?"

Kalego can see in the dark, indeed almost all demons can do it, so the darkness does not create any problems for him. Looking at it better, he finds it wonderful, yes, he collects them, and he is a fan of their care and that, that is really well cared for and his eyes shine for how beautiful it is!

"But how is it possible?" He looks around and perhaps he understood:

"Don't tell me that he ... he created a place full of unhealthy energy ... a greenhouse, this is a kind of greenhouse ... I can't believe it!"

Maybe he has found someone who has the same hobby as him? No, he can't accept that, especially if he's not a demon!

On the other hand, she is dressed in light blue pajamas with small brown owls; she and she is only afraid that some other priestess has heard everyone; she then she looks out a window but for now she doesn't see any of her and she breathes a sigh of relief, closing the curtains too. She has also turned off the energy purifier for the moment, just so that the stupid demon who appeared out of nowhere is not sick! And then she turns off the central light and turned on a smaller one. The place is for one person, so it has just what looks like a small living room and the sleeping area and the closet, where he has put Kalego who when he turns around, finds him in front of her, holding the cactus and who is now staring at her strange way and tells her:

"Did you steal it?"

Then she promptly replies:

"Ah? But who did you take me for? I found it on the ground while I was returning ... it was there, poor thing slumped in it vase, with the earth upside down ... it made me tenderness ... eemmm maybe it fell someone ... but I didn't steal it! "

And the other only with a raised eyebrow and she again:

"Ok okay, I like cacti and when I saw it I couldn't resist bringing it here and if you don't mind I want it back!"

While she stretches her arms but the other:

"This stays with me, it's helping me regain my strength."

He While he steps back and glares at her. Actually he if he just wants to keep it, since he likes it too. "Ok ... and how did you get here anyway? You can't have used magic and ..." And he irritated:

"Shut up! I'm the one who has to complain since we had an appointment where you didn't show up, outrageous towards me!"

"Speak softly please." And the angry one then sits down on the only chair she has, in front of a small table, where he also places the cactus.

"I hope you have a valid reason for standing me up." He answers this round calmly and moderately:

"And anyway, what a crude and disgusting place...."

"Hey look, it's not easy to make it cozy, since it's a temporary mini house, what do you think?" She replies angrily, while she folds her arms, seeing that she has offended her.

"Anyway after we parted, they called me for an urgent meeting and I had to come running back here, what do you think we don't do anything else? And I didn't know how to tell you."

"An urgent meeting? About what?"

Annabel thinks about it first, she doesn't want to give uncomfortable news, but this tour concerns him so she continues:

"Surely the headmaster will tell you too ... priestesses have been attacked and wounded by magical beasts ... luckily we are immune."

"What? So the evil also affects the fauna?"

"This is what we thought and it worries us, as now we have to pay attention to that too."

Kalego puts a hand under his chin and thinks, too bad that Annabel can't hear his thoughts and then just replies: " There's more? "

"Yes, we will discuss the measures with the principal and there is also good news, the protection of the amulets is working, no demons have fallen ill since you have been distributing them."

" Very well. "

"Now can you tell me how the heck did you get here? I can't get you out the door, the energy emitted by the artificial sun will kill you in a second ... here you are safe because I have created a suitable environment ... for the cactus and not. to the demons. "

He amazed by this easy information, before he looks at her then replies:

"With your stupid white pyramid."

And she: "Ah ... that's why I couldn't find it anymore! Now it's all clear! And you had it and you didn't tell me anything, you're a villain!"

"I'm a demon! And it's normal! But it's not normal for you to lose pieces around; think about it if it ended up in the hands of someone else in this world? What would have happened? You are irresponsible!"

She thinks about it, and in fact she is not wrong, but it is not fair that it makes her feel like shit, after all she has used it and now she is in trouble if they find out but and the other talks to her again, saying:

"Enough with the bullshit and see to finish what you started yesterday priestess! The sooner I leave this crappy place the better!"

Annabel sighs patiently, she doesn't understand, how does he always win? With that imperative attitude, then, she really dislikes him. She then takes the gloves from a drawer and where Kalego is already ready with his shoulder uncovered, like the previous evening, she tells him the precise point where he cuts himself again. But first he grabs her wrist, before she puts on the glove and looks at her hand saying:

"I see you finally used it. How did it go?"

He asks with a wicked grin, as he notices a certain aura that he knows well coming out. from this and her:

" No comment. " And he: "Mph!"

And he lets her go and is again, a new piece of information to write in her diary. Now he is certain, priestesses are vulnerable to ointments. So after thirty minutes, she finally can confirm it, he is completely healed and takes a sigh of relief saying:

"Very well. Now get me out of here."

"But is it an order? I mean seriously? But is it difficult to say thank you?" She thinks shocked but then notices a book on the ground and picks it up, Kalego has already noticed it, while he is adjusting his shirt and is alerted . She looks at it and leafs through it saying:

"This is not mine ...." But the demon snatches it from her hands without a word and she:

"Aah .. so it's yours?"

"It's none of your business!"

"I've actually read it twice, Moby Dick is a great classic and that seems like an interesting format, you can see it from the covers and ...."

Kalego approaches her looking at her intently and says:

"Have you read it? You lie!"

"Look, I told you the truth...."

So to make a mistake, he opens it to an illustration and where he points to the words below and says to them:

" What's written? "

"Aaaam ... the sailors are attacked by the great white whale, which without delay loads their boats and sinks them."

He thinks that it is impossible and that if she is inventing it, then he opens up on other illustrations, where the woman readily reads the writings under her with the certainty of someone who she knows very well that language.

"Any problems Kalego?"

"What the hell ... this is a forbidden human book, how is it possible then? At least that you ... are a human ... and you know what that means, don't you?"

He now he is threatening her, because in fact she now she remembers, demons eat humans there! She is half human! What a mistake she made! But she then she tells him:

"That's where she comes from ... well we priestesses know a lot of races and languages, including humans ... so it's normal for me to read them."

And he hopes so much that he drinks it, which works, because the other seems to calm down and therefore he thinks:

"In fact, they are quite educated, so does that mean I've found my own translator? But how can I blackmail you?" And pretending nothing has happened, he replies:

"Okay I believe you, and now let me get out of here!" A deep breath for Annabel and thank goodness the sisters have a heavy sleep and then she walks away for a second and then comes back with the golden pyramid and tells him:

"Same mechanism, think where you have to go that a glimpse of light will appear ... the white one was for fast transport for emergencies."

She snatches it from his hands with a:

"Mph! Magic? As far as I know, you don't even know what it is."

"No, it's an Inbarian technology that we use our energies to use them." But then she repented, she told him another information about their world. But now it's late and after this, Kalego activates it without saying a word and before passing beyond the light, he also takes the cactus and Annabel: "Hey! No, not that ... why?" While he turns around with a sadistic smile he replies:

"Why are you saying? For everything you put me through tonight." And so he goes to the other side, with the satisfaction in his demon heart of having implemented the lookout in some way and with Annabel behind him that he says:

"Sig. ... my cactus."

In reality she has one thing left, the bottle, that has remained there in the greenhouse and luckily she has two other golden pyramids at her disposal.

The demon is thinking of a way to make her become his personal book translator, ok he didn't want her anymore in his house, but now it's different, where he finds another one who reads him the forbidden books of the human? So before going to sleep he mulls over a sneaky plan and updates his diary, with the news he has just learned. In reality Kalego is developing an obsessive addiction to this thing; where he will lead him to develop another kind of feeling, possessive jealousy. In the meantime he found a nice place for the huge cactus, where he gave it some water and cleaned it up a bit. And looking at it, he sees only perfection and wonder.
