Jiro saw her getting pale moment by moment. Even though she was picking up with Jiro's pace, her breath kept getting hotter with every second. She may be in a soul form but had the same body as the human race. It felt weird seeing her walk as her breath kept getting hot.These were the clear signs that she needed care and treatment. " Hey! system, come out and help me. That demon queen doesn't look right, she seems to be in a bad condition. Scan this area and tell me if there's any village or resting spot anywhere near ", Jiro thought in his mind as he called out for his legendary system.For a moment, the system said nothing and kept quiet. But after a moment, it finally spoke to him. [I am sorry to say this but you shouldn't worry about that creature. Remember, she belongs to the demon clan, helping her won't do you any good]It wasn't the first time that the system had given out a warning or had told him about something dangerous. Yeah! Jiro admits that Demon Queen is quite the
After layering the different fabrics on the dust-filled ground, he dusted off his hands as his eyes examined the whole house once again, this place was full of dust and bug shelter. Even if he wants to find a different place, he surely can't do it. The demon queen was not in a good condition, moving around would only make it hard for her, and she won't be able to follow up behind him.He settled down everything for the day. He does want to reach his village soon, but can't see someone in a bad condition. So it's okay to slow down his journey, not like he would get the world trophy for reaching fast there.After seeing that everything was okay, he decided to set out and leave the demon queen there to rest. Of course, he wasn't leaving her, just going out to find some food or edible stuff and maybe find something to change into.His current look was no less than any beggar or thief. If someone is to see him in this condition, they might end up thinking he is some monster who's approach
Jiro took a sigh of relief after knowing that she was just experiencing the aftereffect of a long-stayed prison. " So she just needs to adjust to this new world, right? Alright! I get it. But if something is wrong with her, I must be the first person to know, you must tell me everything. And that too....as early as possible ".As much as Jiro was relieved to know that she was okay and just going through the change of environment and place, he was skeptical too.It was important to know her health and how much this new place can affect her.She is surely from this world and belongs here. But it was true too that she no longer had been here for the past thousand years. She was held captive in a place far from the outside world, and her habits and ability to adjoin the world has changed as well. She is no longer familiar with this world that once was her home.The system heeded his warning. [Alright! I will do as you say]But then it murmured something which Jiro failed to hear as its
The little kid spoke in a silky low voice, it was pleasing to the ears and completely matched his short and cute appearance.But wait...What did he just say? He wants to tie Jiro to a tree so that they can torture him. Jiro gulped down the saliva that was hardly there in his throat as he was already thirsty and had a dried dessert mouth and throat.Don't know why but this was giving him a bad feeling.He was just able to shake them off recently as everyone got busy with their conflicts, but this naughty child again dragged him inside ane made him the center of attraction in front of everyone.Everyone again fixed their attention on his as they stopped arguing about their current affair.Jiro could not say anything and smiled awkwardly at them, to at least show them he was not a bad guy.But who will believe him when he was in such a shabby and torn attired with so many scars over his body? Would they trust him if he was to say that he is no bad guy and nor the intruder but just a pa
It was hilarious that the system was threatening him in disguise warning him about the danger. Maybe, it does not have any ill intentions toward Jiro. But the way it speaks to him seems to have given him some bad ideas. Even though nothing bad has happened to him will date after coming to this world and the system was there to help him at every step. But for some reason, it feels like it was readying him for some big and unspoken event.The thing is....he can't touch it.[I am your system, how can you talk to me like that? Don't you have any consciousness? You should know that I am the medium between you and this world. Without me, you can do things, you will be just a piece of trash without me]Here it goes again. For a moment, Jiro thought he had made a comeback with his words and had cracked the system. But to his surprise, it wasn't the case. No matter what he says or does, this damn system seems to know everything about him.First of all, Jiro never begged or wished anyone that
The moment he got away from the villagers and was on his way to the outskirts, the robotic male voice of the system started ringing in his head. A quick notification then pooped out before him...[New Mission unlocked. Save the Demon queen...]Jiro's eyes widened in shock the moment system mentioned the Demon queen." Save the demon queen? You said she is pretty fine, just having a slight fever ".[You don't have time for all these questions, just hurry up to the location]The system firmly denied answering any of his questions and told him to hurry up to the location. Jiro was confused. Just an hour ago when he asked the system if her condition was serious or not, it firmly said everything was okay.Then what went wrong now? How come her health messed up so much?There were so many questions in his mind but the answer was none.He hurried up to the outskirts and then went inside the abandoned house. When he reached her, he couldn't believe his eyes.She had turned all pale and transp
[What happened? So you only know how to talk big huh...You still have a chance to stop at this. The punishment for failing the mission is not that cruel, you can stop here if you don't want to hurt yourself ] Jiro glared in the air with his sharp piercing intense gaze and looked at his hand once again." I have given my words already, I won't go back. It's just scratching my palm with a sharp object, nothing impossible ", Said Jiro as he closed his and slid the sharp stone on his palm.He winced a little bit as the stone touched his palm and made a little wound, blood started dripping out.Jiro opened his eyes and saw the blood oozing out, and immediately put his hand on top of her face, dripping exactly ten drops without any fail.He clenched his teeth on each other as it was painful. But the memories of Jiro getting beaten started playing in his mind, the pain of this wound was nothing in front of those wounds he sustained in the past.[Are you seriously mad or what? I told you tha
While they were busy having conversations with each other, the demon queen was regaining her consciousness. Her head was hurting quite a lot. The more she was waking, the more she could feel the pain sensation running through her veins and body. She felt like her body was on fire, it was burning heavily while she could do nothing and bear the pain."It's hot. Where am I right now? ", She questioned herself while trying her best to open her eyes. Her eyelids felt heavy as if someone had put stones on top, it was too painful.The was constantly telling her mind to respond and do as she says. And after procrastinating for a while, she finally ordered her body and mind to work on her order, and ahe forcefully opened her eyes.It was dark everywhere with the strange ceiling above her, where was she?She questioned herself many times and tried moving her body. To her surprise, she could not move at all, as if her body was frozen on the spot or she was paralyzed." Why can't I move? ", Ine
