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
" Vinya! Understand it, we are no longer in our world. You can't kill people now ".Ines was doing her best to stop Vinya from doing anything that might turn the whole situation into a big mess.Even if she was trapped inside and Vinya had taken over her body, it was still her body. And she could see how scared Jiro was.Vinya kept approaching him, he stood there like a statue as well. His mind had become way too slow like a snail, couldn't process anything, nor could he sense the danger coming his way." Petal! Where are you? At least give me hints that you are here. I should have trusted you, it was my mistake, you betrayed me once again ".Jiro was not wrong to think that Petal betrayed him. And how can he not? The demon queen was approaching Jim with those bloodshot eyes as if she is off to kill someone. And what's worse....she was smiling entirely different from what he has seen Ines do.[Heavenly Father, this stupid is thinking I have betrayed him when it's literally who can't
When Ines heard his reasoning, she was convinced. After all, it was easy to manipulate her...according to Vinya." You see! He didn't betray me ", Said Ines." Don't trust him. You are too simple, Ines. Just one kind word from someone and you are ready to open your heart for them. It's not done like this...".Nonetheless, Vinya was trying hard to manipulate her against her wish. She can win, as long as Ines stays shut in her misunderstanding and sorrow, she doesn't need to come out. Just stay there and see how Vinya takes over the demon clan once again.But with Jiro being there, it was appearing impossible to happen. It's a fact that Jiro looks weak, maybe can't even kill an ant. But to Vinya, he was more than what he seemed to be. She had great eyesight and an ability to read people. And Jiro by no means was an as pitiful and weak person as he appears.But Ines was different as well. Yes, she does have a weak character and her personality is what others call nice. And because of th
" Find someone else? that won't do ", Vinya lifted his chin delicately with her finger as she smirked looking straight into his eyes.At this point, Jiro could see the fire in her eyes which was undoubtedly telling him she was poisonous to him." Big sister, I am telling the truth, I only have bones in my body. What will you get by eating me? Plus, you won't be cruel enough to hurt this little kid right? ".Jiro tried getting out of her grip, but the moment ge tried sneaking away, she pulled him back with her other hand as she held on to him tightly, squeezing his waist, it was painful for him as she was not soaring him.But everything he could do right now was to smile only as there was no other way he can see to free himself from her tight grip or make a comeback.This time, Vinya didn't say a word as her fingers were pricking into his waist skin, he was wincing in pain, and the smile on his face was fading.Vinya was having fun seeing him suffering with her hands, it was another ki
Vinya felt all her senses failing her with every passing second. And then a moment arrived where she completely lost herself...Even in that last moment, she kept fretting, thinking, and trying if there was anything that can be done.Her tries resulted in nothing as she could not move, and in the end...all her senses failed her, resulting in fainting. Her body gave up due to exhaustion.Her eyes closed frantically, and she blackout. They both fell to the hard ground. Jiro's backbone broke due to a high fall, he was now in so much pain that even God couldn't be able to make up for his loss. " Aiya! My back... hurts. Petal, you are so cruel. Your owner is about to die, yet you are calm ", He said as he tried getting up from the ground, and was hardly able to get up.[My dear host, you have only just broken a bone in your back, just a little bit of rest and you will be fine. And to remind you, you just fell from a little height, you don't have to exaggerate so much]" That's why I am s
[How about we leave her behind? I mean, she is the demon queen after all. Even without us, she will ne pretty fine]Petal's suggestion makes sense. Jiro has done so much for her, even risking his own life in return for bringing her back safe. So Petal thinks it's okay to leave her alone now, there's so much done by Jiro's side. She can live on her own...And If Jiro still wants to take her with them, he must be an idiot to them. Because no one carries a walking time bomb with them, she can explode anytime.Jiro nodded at first but then glanced over at the sleeping beauty, Ines. " Alright! Let's work on your suggestion. Let's leave her here, it's okay that she is vulnerable. After all, we helped her because she might die again or maybe someone will take advantage of her. It's okay to leave her even knowing that she is unfamiliar with this place, but why do we care? After all, my sacrifice was in vain ".Jiro was being sarcastic and scolding Petal in his way. His mother has taught him
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a beauty hung upon his head, and she was looking at him straight. Her beautiful eyes filled with the ocean water stared straight into his soul. He was heavily startled that his heart was racing from the sudden attack, it felt like it would jump out any second." You are awake? ", Ines asked as she jumped down from the tree and dusted off her clothes. After dusting off her hands, she looked at him as a soul-streaking smile appeared on her face." How are you feeling now? ", He asked as his small hands move on their own to rub his still sleep-filled eyes." I am feeling great. Thank you so much for saving me. And...thank you for making me realize that I am not alone in this world, someone is waiting for me ", Her voice was soul-pleasing, soft, and sweet.From her eyes and condition, one could tell that she was energized and strong. Good thing...Jiro's hard work didn't go to waste." Please don't say thank you. I just...wanted to get you back to my
Now it was a debate between them as to who can hunt. But if they think carefully, Ines was a better choice. Because she was a cruel demon queen, who has done much hunting in the past. Yeah! It's a different matter that all of them were humans who were hunted by her.He was weak, and vulnerable right now, there was no way he was getting his butt off of the ground and doing something productive. "I am surely hungry but I don't know how to hunt. Therefore, I will be a potato and just waste my time. Don't think about me ".His stomach was killing him right now but he cares not even a little. As a couch potato who has the immense experience of sitting in one place for hours, he can live off even if he gets nothing to eat and won't be upset.Life as a couch potato is very cozy and full of laziness, he doesn't want to move from it.Ines was speechless. Having no skills and being lazy were two different things. How can this guy mix them both?She slapped herself on the forehead and couldn'
