Two weeks have passed after the destruction of the demon king's castle. The defeat of the dmeon princess spread across lands. Humans won the war, but is that the case? There are still demon-kinds roaming around the surface of the world. They are now called lost remnants. And the battle between humans and demons seems to continue. The Pleiades Alliance falls after the death of Lord Cepheus. Fake stories of him dying heroically spread instead of his evil plan of taking to rule the world. Some of the demon-kinds blending with humans try to reveal the truth, but no one believes. Despite having no concrete evidence. The story of Lord Cepheus being a hero was believed by many. Honestly, I found it disgusting. A man like him must not be idolized. All of the land owned by the Pleiades Alliance was taken by the Eastern empire or Kou Empire. The Emperor even declared of conquering the remaining habitable lands. He promised that he’ll grant protection to the people who obeyed him and joined
“I know she is hungry but is this really okay… She’s eating too much!” Kisara yelled, slamming her hand on the table. Then, she turned her angry gaze onto me. “Don’t make such a sour face in front of the table. Anything on the table is considered a blessing in the name of god.” Gabriel said and continued munching. “I think it's fine, the meat and vegetables we have are near their expiration date. We have to eat them.” “Well, I didn’t know about that. Isn't it this ship?” “It does, but it's true. We have to buy another one. We’re near a city according to the map. So there is nothing to worry about.” “How about money?” Kisara clenched my collar and pulled me into her. “Money is important, you know… Because of the fall of Inquisition knights. The only currency we can use is silver and gold.” Gold and silver always have their value despite the fall of two empires. The Eastern empire does have its own paper money, but it wasn’t fully accepted in the western area previously by the In
The team arrived at the lawless city safely, but the problem arrived so fast. “That’s freaking expensive!” Kisara argued with the local mercenary. Around the port of the lawless city, Mercenaries have their gig called guarding. The job description is self-explanatory. The mercenaries will guard the ship left for traveling in exchange for money. The job is popular because no one knows what will happen inside the lawless city. Bandits may already have their eyes on their ship waiting for the right chance to steal their stuff. Having someone to guard their airship must be the right choice. “Ten thousand silver for one day, these guys are nuts!” “Ten thousand is a small price to pay. A lawless city is a dangerous place. Obvious by its name… Are you willing to risk the stuff you have inside your ship?” The mercenary said. “Grrr… I also want to travel around the city, but that money…” “Then, I’ll be staying here.” Riku suggested to Kisara. “Eh? But you are the captain… Besides, Riku,
“What should I do now?” I asked myself looking at the clear blue sky. A mister bumped into me and with a fast hand movement, he stole my pouch. He walked happily thinking that he suceeded in robbing me. The jokes on him, I manage to react quickly. Taking his pouch to my hand. I foresaw this scenario and decided to rob some lowlife if I ever run out of money. The pouch he took doesn’t even have anything inside of it. He robs the wrong person. I walked away blending with the crowd. I then take a look inside the pouch and saw some gold. “Looks like the business is booming.” Kisara forbids me from requiring demon-kind as an ally. I am not allowed to say back to her. To avoid being in trouble I programmed myself to be a yes-man. The day is still long. What should I do? Hmmm… I leaped up to the rooftop of the structure beside me and look from the high grounds. The summer breeze is not bad at all. “Oh?” Running to the rooftop I saw a man covered in black. His agile, hopping roof t
The winter area is miles away from the summer area, but for me, it already exceeds human limits. Reaching the said destination is nothing but a piece of cake. Not that I’m bragging. The clouds immediately change as we enter the winter area. Similar to Kisara’s home. There is nothing but snow clouds and endless snow falling covering everything in white. The castle the home of the little girl was able to find easily because it's simply the tallest structure in the whole of this area. I was able to land in front of the castle and gently placed the little girl. She started crying the moment we started, but now she has a big broad smile on her face. “I was scared at first, but eventually I think flying high above the sky is real fun. I want to do it again.” I’m happy that she likes it, but that ends my duty here. I want to get some kind of reward, but I don’t want to look like someone who only thinks of money. After thinking for a moment, I decided to just let this event as an act of
The lawless city is already dangerous in the daytime, but the danger was amplified when the moon made an appearance. That’s pretty much basic knowledge for many. The streets are rather noisy. Gunshots, explosions, and screams. A few examples of noise can be heard right now. The girl with rather sharp eyes and hair resembling cherry blossoms wandered without fear. The girl is Kisara. Instead of thinking that the location she was currently in was dangerous, she is quite composed and feels at home. Arguably, her home wasn’t as noisy as that. To her, this kind of commotion feels normal. For that reason, she doesn’t even bother to care. Kisara looks around for her beloved. Worried about where he might go. Now, Kisara has lost many things from the previous war. She at least wants Riku to stay with her forever. Which is what she believes the boy wants. She runs street by street. And suddenly in her path a creepy creature whose body was disintegrating bounced up. Its claws rise high up and
Riku had himself cutting through the clouds as he flies stright forward to the tall tower located at the center of Summer area. He blasted the wall open stright on where the thread was heading. Wall breaks at loud noise and rumbls splashed around on his wake. “Kisara!” But what he found wasn’t the girl his looking for. Rather what he found was a petite blonde curly haired girl. It was Charlotte. Charlotte is on a middle of something seating at the sofa enjoying snacks and tea. The girl’s eyes was place stright at Riku. Minutes after staring toward each other’s eyes. Riku averted and stepped back a little. Knowing that he made a mistake in reading his connection. Morely, he didn’t expect that Charlotte is in Lawless city like them. The situation is a little awkward. Riku is not the type of person to be excited overly being reunited with long time friend. However, Charlotte does misses him so much she leapt to him giving him a tight hug. “Red!” She called. The man seating opposit
Riku and Charlotte start searching around but eventually have themselves at a dead end. Searching in a massive city is pointless if you don’t have any clue. Asking somebody around the tower is useless because Kisara is never brought in. For the prince, the main suspect in Kisara’s kidnapping is missing. Apparently, the prince has a hobby of roaming around the city looking for fun. Most women fall victim to his crimes. One matter who it was he’ll take the girl without her permission. Now Kisara is in her hand and brought to some mysterious shady place unknown to Riku and Charlotte. After hitting a dead end, Riku brings Charlotte to his airship to have a little rest and to ask if Gabriel could do something about the current problem. “Whoa! This is your airship! So big!” Charlotte commented looking around. “Mukuro and Nico give me this airship. Unlike normal demon-kind, the reward on my head is quite high because for some reason they are all calling me demon king now.” “I heard some
