The hug reminded him of his sister. That was how his sister was, always there when needed and protecting him from every harm that came his way.But it was also true that she couldn't always be there for him, there were times when they needed to separate from each other, despite being siblings they had their own lives.Ines was like her, didn't scorn him when seen him in the bad condition, tried to understand him on her own, trying to make him comfortable around her. But what she said earlier made him even more emotional. Did she just ask him to become his family? Did the demon queen want him as her brother? " But we are from different families, we can't become a family? ", Said Jiro as he pulled out his hands from her back, and wanted to retract before Ines grabbed his hand and pulled him closer.Family relationships are not always based on blood, some relations even form by heart. One doesn't need to have the same blood.But he has seen selfish and cruel people, he doesn't believe
" I think I am pretty normal, not strange at all ", He denied him being oddball and shook off that strange vibe from that his body.Seeing that, Ines took out her hands which were tucked between each other and put them on his head, pet him lightly, and then retracted her hands immediately as there was a soft smile on her face all the time.It was strange. How easily she could pet him and have that pretty smile on her face throughout the whole movement. Maybe...she was used to it. But for Jiro, it was still strange as he was only used to his sister patting like this.No other person ever touched his head with so much affection. And most importantly, he was not upset that she was touching, him but was kind of happy. He didn't smile at her, but it was pretty clear he was delighted inside his heart, just keeping those little previous emotions and feelings to himself only." Who says she is a demon? She is more like an angel, how sweet and kind-hearted ", He thought in his mind.[That's b
There was a beauty behind him, looking at him with her eyes flickering from time to time due to early waking up, looking like she was still half asleep." You are awake? ". " Hmm! "." Excellent! Let's head ahead then. We should start now before the sun rises high in the sky ", Jiro changed the topic as he told her to get ready as they will be leaving now, he was rushing things." Alright! Wait for me ", Ines refreshed herself as she patted her cheeks many times to get rid of that sleepy feeling, it always helps.It was a brand new day and the start of the journey once again. Jiro was in a good mood. How can he be not in a good mood when all the pain from his body was gone and he was feeling so much refreshed? He never felt this much good before, his body felt like it was in heaven. And yes, it was another thing that he was unaware of that healed his wounds.He wanted to know if Ines was his savior, but guess he will wait to see if it was really her or maybe someone else. After wid
Knowing nothing about this world was like walking on a thin thread that might break anytime with your slightest of mistakes. So Jiro and Ines dare not cross that boundary that was set for them when they arrived in this strange world.Instead of staying in the human village, they decided to move further and find an isolated place and take a short rest there.Ines thought he was upset because of when she thought its because she refused when he asked to stop by the human village. But it wasn't the case. He might be a little silly and dont understand many things. But there's no way he won't understand such a small thing." Are you upset that I dragged you away from there? ", Ines asked after they came a little far from the village entrance.She was just worried about them both. But taking his opinion into the consideration was also important, and she acted without even discussing anything with him. So if he was to be upset and angry with her, it was inevitable and understandable.But wha
Roug had everything he needed to convince others about his life. Jiro's memories were all intact and stored perfectly inside his small size brain. He was mostly used in the village to do unwanted tasks and missions, things that others can't do were thrown at him and he was obliged to do everything told by them. He had no choice but to listen to them, even though his own family was never on his side, and there was no option for him." I am sorry to ask you that. Anyway, this time you are not alone, you have me. If they try to do anything funny, I will show them what cruelty is ", Said Ines as she pulled him closer to her embrace." We are far from the human territory now, should we stop somewhere? ", Jiro asked her." Good idea! I am tired too. Let's find a water source on our way, we will stop there. What do you say? ", Ines said.It's been decades since she had a bath, her whole body was stinky, and she wants to shower and clean her body thoroughly.He agreed with her suggestion. Lo
She put her hand on his cheeks and she started squeezing those little puffs without any air or softness, the hair was full of water, and cold drops were falling on his eyes, he felt a cool sensation at first but then warm for some reason, almost like someone was dropping their saliva on his face, trying to eat him alive? " Stop drooling, I wanna sleep ", Surely, he thought there was someone after him.Ines was once again speechless at his weird remarks. " Do I give off the hunter's vibe? This kid is weird...", She mumbled as she twitched the corner of her mouth and let go of his cheeks at that instant.Looks like this trick was useless when it came to waking him, she gotta use another method. At that time she smirked like a devil and moved her hand close to his nose. There was still that devil smile on her face as she pinched his nose and grabbed it tightly, his air source was blocked.His eyes were tightly shut, he was in a peaceful moment all this time, yet he started feeling weir
" Why are you giving me that stare? Is everything okay with me? ".It was suspicious, Ines was getting serious with every second." Did you have no idea about having this tattoo on your back shoulder? ", Ines asked once again.It was strange at first glance. Ines never saw anyone tattooing such an odd design on their body before. After all, it was a sign of Good and Bad, how can someone want others to see it in them?It was bizarre.Seeing her worried expression, even Jiro was getting anxious now. She was making the whole atmosphere around them intense and crazy, not a good sign." I...I have no idea why I have these tattoos imprinted on my body. Just like you, I am surprised too. Because there was nothing on my back before, it seems to appear suddenly ", Jiro tried how hard to convince her.And as he said before, no memory of formal Jiro recognized a tattoo on his back or any part of his body. And it was also not like a strange phenomenon has entered suddenly and done this to him.I
Her ears were all alerted as she felt something was wrong with this place suddenly, she was suddenly feeling something big was going to happen to them.Her ears...they could feel something was up to the mark, approaching them in silence.Jiro heeded her command and wore his clothes in rush. And somehow his eyes went towards the fruit trees, suddenly his stomach started to growl, demanding it needs food in it and announcing that he was hungry.Looking at those fruit trees, he was getting tempted." How about we first eat something and then leave? You see those fruit trees over there, they are tempting me, they are calling me towards them ", He said licking his lips with his tongue and looking at her suddenly.Ines seriously underestimated this guy, he was surely a kid with so much curiosity and a habit of running towards something or someone he shouldn't." Kiddo! You do have a point but we can't risk our lives here. I feel there's seriously something wrong here, so it's better to leav
