Chapter 42 - CHAPTER 12 (Part 4)

In the Demon King's castle, everything was relatively calm. The demons were discussing among themselves about what they were doing in their territories, the warriors who might pose a threat to them, what they would do when the war ended, among other things. The Demon King sat on his throne, observing everyone while recalling the existence of Daniel, his only concern at the moment.

But soon, that concern would lessen, thanks to the presence of certain individuals… or rather, demons.

"Boom, baby!!"

The door exploded and flew into pieces, and immediately everyone raised their weapons, ready to fight.

But seeing their King so calm about it, they lowered their weapons, as the Demon King was smiling.

The five legendary demons entered the castle and headed toward Monderfol, who was seated on the throne.

He simply smiled at their entrance, as if he had foreseen this would happen.

"We're back!"

"Everyone must kneel before us! You, bitch, bring a table full of food!"

"Monderfol, old friend, it's great to see you again!"

"How much time has passed? Hundreds of years, right?"

"I just woke up, and I'm already sleepy. Tsk. What a drag."

Monderfol laughed and stood up.

"Welcome! I guess, after all, we didn't have to search for the rocks!"

The demons observed the legendary demons with curiosity, as they had heard much about them but were seeing them for the first time.

If their stories weren't exaggerations, they were a threat comparable to the Demon King himself.

They lowered their weapons and knelt to avoid being disrespectful, as that could cost them their lives.

"A-are those the legendary demons?"

"They're the legendary demons, the ones sealed in the rocks!"

"Did someone destroy the rocks?!"

"Who could've found them?"

Monderfol raised his arms.

"Everyone, leave! I need to speak with them!"

All the demons quickly left the main hall, and Monderfol sat back down.

"It's great to see you again. It's been 6,701 years since your souls were sealed in the rocks."

"Damn it. Took you that long to free yourself, you idiot?"

"I'm the Demon King now, so watch your mouth."

"Blah, blah, blah. Whatever."

The demons knelt before him, not out of respect for him, but because they respected the power within him.

"It's an honor to see you again, master."

"He can't hear you yet; he's still asleep," said Monderfol, knowing full well they were kneeling and speaking to another being, not him.

A being far more dangerous than the Demon King.

"Return to your normal forms; there's no need to stay transformed here."

The demons transformed, looking more civilized and less demonic.

"State your names!"

A girl raised her head. She had long blonde hair and wore a headband made of teeth. She wore a red bra and a torn black skirt. No shoes, just black thigh-high stockings.

"My name is Norly."

A half-human with a man's body but a wolf's head raised his head. He wore an elegant black suit.

"My name is Droi."

A man raised his head. He had dark skin, white hair, and a white eyepatch over his left eye. He wore black pants and a fitted white shirt.

"My name is Francis."

A girl who looked about five years old raised her head. She was small, with short red hair and a scar on her right cheek. She wore a cute pink dress that made her look very childish and innocent, but inside, she hid a monster.

"My name is Zoe."

And finally, the most important girl, at least for Daniel.

A fairy-like girl raised her head. A girl identical to Rose, but only identical—she wasn't Rose.

"My name is Henrietta."

"Do you swear to serve me and be loyal?!"

They all said the same thing.

"We swear loyalty to our master, and Monderfol can go to hell!"

"You guys are real assholes. The five legendary demons have returned!"

Nadia entered through the door, completely unbothered that they were in a meeting.

"All the demons are on their way, my lord."

"Perfect!"

(POV - Daniel)

Four hours later, we arrived at King Finder's Kingdom.

Phew. The journey was long. I wish teleportation existed.

"We're here, Daniela."

I landed in front of my house, and Daniela got off my back.

"Hide your wings; it'll be a bit awkward to have them out inside the house."

"Okay, Daniel."

Daniela's wings disappeared.

"Let's go in."

We entered the house. Ah, old home… Though I didn't take long to return.

"We're back!"

Sara and Rem were sitting on the couch, so they were the first to greet me.

"Daniel!" said Rem.

"You're back!" said Sara.

They both stood up and approached me.

"When's the wedding?" said Rem.

"Are the princesses pretty?" said Sara.

"D-do you love them?" said Rem.

Sara and Rem looked at Daniela.

"Who's she?" said Sara.

"She's Daniela, my familiar."

"Your familiar?!" they both said, surprised.

Ugh, blah, blah, blah. I'm already tired of everyone's shocked reactions.

"Very few people manage to get a familiar!" said Sara.

"I tried, but I failed!" said Rem.

"Me too!" said Sara.

"The most surprising thing is that she's an angel. Daniela, show your wings."

"An angel?"

Daniela's wings appeared.

"My name is Daniela. It's a pleasure."

"Amazing!" said Rem.

"She's beautiful!" said Sara.

"I'm not into women," Daniela replied, thinking Sara had fallen for her.

"I didn't expect less from you, Daniel!" said Rem.

"Daniela, hide your wings."

Daniela's wings disappeared.

"Where's Cristina?"

"Cristina and the others are training," said Rem.

"And what are you two doing here?"

"We're taking a break," said Sara.

Ugh, I just hope they're taking the training seriously.

"Alright, we need to go. I'll take you to the wedding."

"Is it today?" said Sara.

"No, it's in two days, but we need to leave today because the journey is long."

"Tch. Fine, let's go," said Rem, reluctantly.

… Ugh, damn it.

(Delsmo Country)

While Daniel searched for his grandma, all the demons were gathered outside the castle. There weren't many. Not thousands, fewer. A total of 208 demons who, despite their small number, were far more powerful than an army.

"You're all here because there's no need to keep searching for the rocks—the five legendary demons are back with us!!" shouted Monderfol.

Everyone began clapping and shouting Monderfol's name, which irritated the legendary demons, thinking the power had gone to his head.

"We'll begin the second phase of our plan!!"

They kept clapping and shouting… It was repetitive and annoyed the legendary demons even more.

"But it won't be today—it'll be when I say so. We still have something to do!!"

Everyone fell silent, eagerly awaiting what he'd say next.

"We need the adventurer who wields all types of magic to join us!!"

Upon hearing this, Norly's ears twitched, as she knew exactly what that meant, and it made her heart race.

"Hehe. A new opportunity," she said, licking her lips and smiling.

Nadia overheard her and looked at her with disgust, thinking to herself, "Daniel only looks like my husband, but he's not him. Let her do what she wants; it doesn't affect me."

Everyone grumbled; they didn't seem to like the idea of a human who'd killed demons joining them.

They hated their own former humanity, as well as humans in general.

"We're 208 demons in total, the most powerful demons from all the hells!! But Daniel managed to defeat two demons easily. We need him on our side!! The five legendary demons will go after Daniel and convince him to join us!! If he joins us, we'll definitely win, no doubt about it!!"

Nadia approached Monderfol.

"My lord, may I go with them? Daniel will join us if I propose it. After all, I'm his mother, and from what I saw, he's very emotional and sensitive. It'll be easy to manipulate him."

"Of course, go after Daniel, and don't return until you convince him! But don't kill him—not yet."

"Yes!" they all said.

The five legendary demons shouted in unison.

"Demon conver!"

The five transformed into demons. Their skin turned red, two horns grew, and their eyes became completely yellow.

"We won't fail you, master!"

"Get screwed by an orc, Monderfol! Again! Hahahahaha!"

"Tch. Get out."

Nadia and the five legendary demons flew off.

"If a chosen one joins us, we'll win," Monderfol thought, smiling.

He clenched his fists in fury.

"And if Daniel joins, I'll finally be able to take revenge on Dex."

(POV - Daniel)

(King Finder's Kingdom)

We reached the others, who were training in the same training area, not somewhere else. Well, I guess they made it the official training spot.

My grandma and my companions approached me upon noticing my presence.

"Dani!" said my grandma.

"Congrats on the wedding!" said Liz.

"Yeah, sure, congrats on marrying girls you barely know," said Alex, with an angry expression.

… Ugh.

She's jealous… Rem too… Damn it, I really tried not to make them fall for me… Damn it… I just want to be alone.

Goddamn it… Oh, I cursed. Sorry, Grandma.

Ugh… What do I do? I'd better not think about that for now.

"It's the best way to stop humans and demi-humans from hating each other."

"Whatever."

I don't owe you an explanation. You're just my friend, not my girlfriend, so don't act like that with me.

"Let's go. The wedding's in two days. I have a lot of flying to do, so we need to leave. Divine horse, come to me!"

Treis appeared, and I petted him.

He's adorable.

"Hey again."

"Treis, is it possible to reach Soular in two days?"

"It's not possible."

"I see. Thanks, you can go."

Treis disappeared.

"Sara, Alex, Liz, Cristina, Sonia, Cris, Rem, and Rose. Liz, Cristina, and Rose can fly. Daniela, do you have enough strength to carry Alex? That's her."

I pointed at Alex with my index finger.

"Of course, Daniel."

My grandma and the others looked at Daniela.

"Who's she?" said my grandma.

"She's my familiar. Her name's Daniela. She's an angel. Show your wings."

Daniela's wings appeared… This is getting repetitive and annoying.

"Amazing!" they all said excitedly.

"You have a familiar!" said Alex.

"She's better than my sister's familiar!" said Liz.

Blah, blah, blah.

Ugh, my head hurts.

I'd better change the subject.

"Right, where's Rose?"

"With the King," said Liz.

"I'll be right back. Arches Nexus!"

I flew off and noticed Daniela flying beside me.

"You're coming too?"

"My duty is to stay with you until I receive orders, Daniel."

"I see. Alright, but like I said, you're free, not my slave."

"I want to come with you."

"Well, well. Alright."

I reached the King, who was sitting on his throne.

Seriously… Don't they know any other pose?!

Ugh, my head. Oh, Daniel, relax… Ugh… Damn it.

"Good afternoon. Where's Rose?"

"Congratulations on your wedding. I'm glad you resolved the issue so quickly, though in a rather peculiar way, if I may say. Rose is in the library… Who's she?!"

"Took you a while to notice… She's my familiar. Her name's Daniela."

"That's truly incredible, Da…!"

"Blah, blah, blah. Sorry, I'm tired of this. By the way, are your sons kings yet?"

"We're preparing everything for the coronations."

"I'd like to invite them to the wedding, but I guess they'll be busy."

"It's a shame, but you're right; we can't go."

"Excuse me."

I headed to the library.

… Daniela's acting more like an employee than a friend… And that bothers me.

"Daniela, I want you to start acting like a friend, not a slave, okay?"

"Of course, Daniel. Sorry for bothering you with my actions."

"You're not bothering me, but I feel like you're doing it because you think you have to. Just try to think more about what you want to do instead of focusing on me. Got it?"

"Got it."

We entered the library, and I saw Rose sitting, reading a book.

"Hey, Rose."

She turned to me and smiled.

"Hey, Dani… Who's she?!"

An awkward silence.

Another awkward silence.

Ugh…

"Hey, tell her who you are. You need to speak for yourself."

"Of course, Daniel. My name's Daniela, and I'm Daniel's familiar."

"Amazing, you're an angel!"

"Thank you for your words," said Daniela, nodding once.

"Yeah, yeah, amazing, surprising, blah, blah, blah. Rose, you're coming to the wedding, right?"

"Of course."

"Good, let's go. The wedding's in two days."

"Sure, let's go."

She needs to act on her own.

We were all gathered outside the castle.

"Alright. Cristina, Rose, and Liz will fly. Daniela will carry Alex. I'll take Sara, Sonia, Cris, and Rem. I'll have to make two trips."

Ugh, so many hours of flying… Oh, teleportation magic, please come into my life. You'd save me so much time.

I pulled out my phone and opened the map app.

"Wait…"

I searched for the Soular King's kingdom… Here's the castle.

"Here it is. You need to go here."

I showed them where it was.

"Go pack clothes; you'll be there for two days."

Half an hour later, I think everyone's ready.

They all brought boxes of clothes.

Alright, let's go.

"Muslar asio! I'll take Sonia and Cris first so they're not alone. I'll be back for you guys in a few hours, okay?"

"Sure," said Sara.

"No problem," said Rem.

"Angel conver!" said my grandma.

My grandma transformed into an angel, and Daniela looked at her… surprised, I guess. Her eyes widened completely. The first surprised reaction that doesn't make me cringe. Well, hers and my grandma's, which I found adorable.

"You're an angel too?"

"I think so."

Daniela's my familiar… I think I can trust her.

I stepped away from everyone.

"Daniela, come here."

Daniela approached, and I whispered. She needs to know the truth.

Huh? I feel murderous glares on me.

… The girls got jealous of Daniela, and Sonia's looking at me with so much fury it's making me angry. Sonia, you'd better not say anything. I don't want to get angrier at you, you hypocrite.

"She's my grandma. She looks young, but she's actually an old lady."

"Angels stop aging at 20, which is why she looks young. You won't age either."

"That's… I'll tell you the truth later, okay?"

"Sure."

It's a long story, and we don't have time to tell it.

I approached Sonia and Cris.

"Sonia, get on my back. Cris, I'll carry you in my arms."

"I'm going in your arms, Mr. Virgin? Hehe," said Cris, mocking me.

"Hey, don't call me that! At least I didn't lose my virginity without love."

"You should. Virginity doesn't matter, and I'm telling you from experience—it feels amazing…! Ow!"

Sonia hit him on the arm.

"Stop saying stupid things!"

"Tch. Don't act all holy. We both know you're not…"

I covered Cris's mouth. I'm scared of what I'll feel if I hear that sentence completed.

"Don't say anything about that in front of me, please."

Cris nodded.

"Daniel, I…"

"I don't want to hear you, Sonia. My head hurts… Ugh… Yeah, Cris, you'll go in my arms."

"I'd rather go on your back; I'm not a princess!"

"I'd feel more comfortable in your arms," said Sonia.

I don't hate Sonia, but I can't forget her betrayal… Damn it.

"Tch… Damn…"

"Watch that mouth, Dani."

"Sorry, Cristina… Alright, Cris, get on my back."

Cris climbed onto my back, and I carried Sonia in my arms.

She looked into my eyes and smiled, expecting some shy reaction from me, but I just looked at her seriously, as carrying her doesn't bring me any joy—I don't even care.

Realizing this, she got sad and looked away.

Ugh… I sighed and paid her no more attention.

"I'll get there first and tell the King's guards you're coming! Bye! Arches Nexus!"

I flew off.

… Is Sonia stroking my arms?

"Wow… You're getting really strong."

"… Stop touching me."

"Come on, don't be mad…"

Sonia tried to stroke my cheek.

"If you touch me, I'll drop you."

I looked down and met her eyes.

"I'll only say this once… Don't try anything with me. I'll never get back with you. Stop doing that."

"… Okay."

I don't hate her, but I don't love her either… Damn it, why did she cheat on me?! Why did she cheat on me with that mentally challenged piece of shit…?! Ugh… Goddamn it…

I hate feeling like this.

(13 hours later)

I saw Daniela and landed with Sara and Rem in front of her. She was in front of a huge house.

I'm so tired… I'm so sleepy.

B-but finally… finally, I'm done.

"Finally…"

"Are you okay, Daniel?" said Daniela.

"It was… exhausting."

I tried to stay on my feet.

Everything's spinning. I-I don't think I can hold on much longer. My body's demanding rest.

"You flew for a long time," said Rem.

"You ran out of magical energy," said Sara.

"I… think so."

Huh?

Daniela picked me up in her arms, like I was her princess.

"You need to rest."

"Alright…"

Daniel closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.

"Please, follow me. The King gave us a house to sleep in."

"Okay."

Inside the castle.

The King stood before a man in black armor… with a mouse's head… An odd combination.

"What's wrong, Henry?"

"I'm afraid it's bad news. According to reports, in the village of Dome, there was an earthquake, and some demons emerged from the ground. What stood out most was that one of them shouted, 'The five legendary demons have been freed.'"

"Legendary demons?!"

"They seem to be more powerful than regular demons. Though there's also the possibility they're just normal demons trying to scare us."

"Where are they now?!"

"They flew off, and they're probably in Delsmo, the demons' homeland."

"That could be dangerous. Joke or not, we need to act. Gather all the adventurers in the country; we'll attack Delsmo. If we let time pass, they'll grow stronger. I'm tired of waiting for them to attack us. Guard!"

A guard quickly approached the King.

"Bring Daniel. I need to speak with him."

"Alright."

Minutes later.

There was a knock at the house's door, and Rem opened it.

"What's up?"

"The King wants to speak with Daniel. It's important."

"With Daniel? He's resting; he exhausted all his magical energy."

"I'm sorry, but you need to wake him. It's urgent."

"Alright."

Rem went upstairs and entered Daniel's room.

"Dani… W-what are you doing?!"

Daniela was lying next to Daniel, hugging him. The weird part? She was completely naked… Confirmed, 100% female. Her breasts were small, but they were a woman's breasts. That, and there was nothing between her legs that would make her male.

"I'm helping him sleep. Sleeping while being hugged relaxes you more… Or so I've read."

"B-but why are you naked?!"

"The warmth of my naked body will relax him more."

She has no common sense.

"Daniel!!"

(POV - Daniel)

Ugh… Don't shout, my head hurts. Magical exhaustion is painful.

I slowly opened my eyes and yawned.

Ugh, my body feels heavy. I want to sleep! I was so comfortable.

"Rem, I need to sleep. I'm exhausted. Don't shout."

Hmm?

I felt someone hugging me and turned.

"Huh?!"

Whoa!

I pulled away from Daniela and covered my eyes. Argh! Why did she do that?!

"W-why are you naked?!"

"I was warming you with my body to help you sleep better."

"You could do that with clothes on!"

"Alright, from now on, I'll do it with clothes on."

"Thank you!"

Though I'd prefer you didn't do it at all… Ugh…

I'm so tired I fell to the floor. I-I can't stay on my feet.

"Dani!"

Rem helped me up.

"Sorry, I'm really tired."

"The King wants to talk to you, but I think you should rest."

"The King? It's probably important. Daniela, put some clothes on. We're going to see the King."

"Alright."

Daniela got up and put on her dress.

"Let's go."

… I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure women wear underwear under their dresses.

"Aren't you going to put on underwear?"

"I don't wear underwear."

… What?!

"Huh?!" said Rem, as confused as I was.

Ugh, I'd better not say anything. I'm too tired to talk about this.

"Rem, get her some of your underwear and a bra."

"Though she doesn't need a bra! Hahahahaha!"

Rem started laughing… I don't like people mocking others.

Rem, I never expected this from you. You're mocking someone's body. You disgust me.

"You'll never have these beauties."

Rem stroked her breasts while laughing… I hate people who mock others… Rem, that was disappointing.

"Don't mock her. In fact, I like flat-chested girls."

"Huh?!"

"I've always liked flat-chested girls. I don't know why."

I'm not lying. I really find flat-chested girls with glasses and short hair… cuter… Like Daniela…

Wait… Does Daniela meet all the criteria I mentioned?!

I-is it fate…? No, Daniel, you're getting married. Forget it. Daniela came into my life too late.

"Please, go get the underwear and bra."

"O-okay."

Rem left the room.

… Alright, now I'll address a small issue.

"Daniela, I'm not complaining about your care, but you shouldn't sleep with me naked. That could be misinterpreted."

"Alright, I won't sleep with you naked anymore."

"Thanks. And don't pay attention to Rem's comments. You're beautiful just as you are. Don't let others' comments affect you. Remember, the only thing that matters is what you think of yourself, and you shouldn't care what others think."

"I know. The only opinion that matters to me is yours, Daniel. That girl doesn't even matter to me, don't worry."

"Well, well. I see."

Rem came back with the underwear.

"Here."

"Thanks," said Daniela.

I turned around.

"Let me know when you're done changing."

"Done."

I turned back.

"Daniela, I'll lean on you. I'm too tired to walk."

"Alright."

I leaned on Daniela and started walking.

Ugh, my bones hurt.

Ten minutes later, we arrived.

We stood before the King and a man who looked like an adventurer.

Ugh… What an adorable mouse!

N-no time to waste, Daniel.

"What's going on?"

"Sorry, I exhausted my magical energy, and I'm really tired."

"It's alright. Henry, tell him what you told me."

"In short, in the village of Dome, there was an earthquake, and some demons emerged from the ground. One of them shouted, 'The five legendary demons have been freed.'"

"Do you know anything about them?"

Legendary demons? Ugh… Damn it… More problems in my life, just when I thought I'd finally have time to relax and train. Seriously, world, can't you be safe for at least one day?

"Honestly, no. Daniela, do you know anything about them?"

"No, sorry."

"But they sound very dangerous. I mean, they have 'legendary' in their name; I doubt it's just for show."

"We think they're in Delsmo," said the King.

"Delsmo?"

"It's the country where the demons live."

"Well, well. I see."

"We're gathering all the adventurers in the country to attack Delsmo. We want you to gather all the adventurers from your country, Grenfor."

"The longer we wait, the stronger they'll get. We want to attack before it's too late."

Attack now? But… Wait…

… Yes… Maybe… If I use that spell, maybe…

I-it's a great idea. It could work!! If I use that spell, I'll win!!

"Alright, no problem. Tomorrow, I'll tell the kings to start gathering all the adventurers."

I'll use them as a distraction while I make my move.

That spell is so cheating. I love it!

"Thank you. My daughters are lucky to have you as a husband."

Ugh, I-I can't take it anymore… I'm too tired.

"Th… anks."

I lost all my energy.

"He's asleep," said Daniela.

Daniela picked him up in her arms.

"Excuse us."

Daniela left the castle, carrying Daniel in her arms like a princess.

"Poor thing, you must be so tired… You push yourself too hard."

"I don't want…"

"Huh?"

Daniel started talking in his sleep.

"I don't want to get married… I don't know them…"

"I'm sorry, Daniel."

"Mom… I love you… But… I have to kill you."

A tear rolled down his cheek.

"But I don't want to…"

"Daniel…"

Daniela looked around, and seeing no one was watching, she took the chance to comfort Daniel in a rather peculiar way.

Daniela kissed him on the lips, applying magic to him to stop his nightmares. The kiss lasted five seconds, and then she pulled her lips away.

"You're such a good person; you shouldn't suffer."

Daniela felt a great chill run through her body, warning her of immense danger.

Startled, she looked up and saw them.

"Well, well! There he is!"

Nadia and the five legendary demons arrived and landed in front of Daniela.

"Well, well. Are you my son's girlfriend? Or should I report you for taking advantage of my son, you pervert?"

"Who are you?!"

"I'm his mother, and these are the five legendary demons. I assume you've heard of them."

"What do you want?!"

"We want to talk to Daniel, that's all we want."

Daniela set him down and laid him on the ground.

"He can't talk to you. Get out! Celestial Bow!"

A bow appeared in her hands.

"Get out!"

"I guess we have no choice."

Daniela started firing light arrows, and the demons dodged them easily, without any difficulty.

Though the arrows moved at a speed even Sandro couldn't dodge, the demons evaded them like it was nothing.

"Demons have always been superior to you, puppets of the Gods."

"That won't work!"

(POV - Daniel)

Ugh, they won't let me sleep. Who's shouting?

"Damn puppet!"

"You think that'll hurt us?!"

Ugh, don't talk, I'm sleepy.

The voices woke me up… Let me sleep… What?

"Huh? Why am I on the ground?"

I noticed Daniela firing light arrows. Who's she fighting?

"What's going on?"

I looked to the side. Huh?

I saw my mother. Oh, it's my mother… My mother?!

"Mom?!"

"Hey, son. Have you been eating well? You need to eat well to grow tall and handsome like your dad."

Whoa! My mom's here!

I got up with difficulty. Come on, body, I know you're tired, but this is an emergency!

"What do you want?!"

"We just want to talk with you."

A demon sank into the ground.

"Huh?!"

The demon emerged from the ground and grabbed Daniela tightly from behind. He captured Daniela! Damn it!!

"Argh!" Daniela screamed, howling in pain.

"Grrr. Damn it!"

… W-was that the sound of a bone breaking?

"Daniela! Let her go!!"

The demon moved away from me with Daniela.

"Let her go and fight me, you son of a bitch!! If you don't release her, you'll regret it!! I'll do unimaginable things to your ass when I have you begging for your life!!"

"Hehe. That's the spirit. Now you seem like my son. Was it so hard to be like that instead of a sentimental crybaby? By the way, look around."

I looked around… The guards protecting this place were trembling in fear and didn't dare approach.

"Damn cowards!! I'll deal with you after I shove my arm up the ass of that demon who dared to hurt my Daniela!!"

"Ooh, sounds interesting. I'll take his punishment," said a female demon. Ugh, she's licking her finger while smiling at me.

A succubus?

"Hehe. Your Daniela? I don't approve of your relationship with this angel, son. They're useless. Come with us; I'll introduce you to demon girls who are way sexier and perfect for you. Even a legendary demon thought you were cute."

"I'd rather die."

"Blah, blah, blah. If you come with us, we'll let her go."

"Don't do it, Daniel, leave! Forget about me!"

Daniela's in this because of me. If I hadn't summoned her, she'd be unharmed.

Besides, they're legendary demons, and I don't have the energy to fight. I can't fight, and if I refuse, innocents will die, including Daniela and my grandma.

And from the looks of it, this place's security is useless; they won't help me.

I have no choice.

"Alright, I'll go with you!"

"Don't do it, it's not worth it!"

"I'd rather risk my life and save you! That's worth it!"

"Dani…!"

The demon punched Daniela in the stomach and let her go. Daniela fell to the ground.

Tch. Bastard.

"Let's go!"

"Dani…" said Daniela, in a weak voice.

"I'll be fine," I said, smiling.

"Follow us, son."

"Let's go, handsome. If you behave, I'll make you feel good," said a demon, sucking her finger like it was a penis… Tch. Disgusting.

The demons flew off.

"Arches Nexus!"

I flew off and followed them.

"Daniel!!" Daniela shouted, desperate.

I'm sorry… I don't want you to die… I'd rather sacrifice myself for you.

Besides, I don't think they want to kill me… What do they really want with me?

If they wanted me dead, they'd have killed me already. Why keep me alive? I highly doubt my mom convinced them to let me live.
