My Shameless System Made Me A Goblin

Chapter 9: The way to escape

Piano extended his hand in front of him, expecting Jiro to hold his hand and say yes to him. Even though Jiro had a sweet smile on his face, for some reason Piano could see that he was not smiling because he was willing to, more like he was forced to.

Just as he expected, Jiro pulled out his hand and placed it amongst the large palm of Piano which was standing out the most and the only one right now.

He didn't hesitate, his agreement was enough for Piano. And the next moment, Piano lifted him in the air and then placed him gently on his shoulders.

Right now, Jiro was viewing the higher view from that height while sitting on his shoulder. This sure was enough to make him recall those heartwarming moments during his childhood.

His dad used to play with him in the evening and then on the way back he used to put Roug on his shoulder and carry him home like that.

As much as it was heartwarming and made him recall all those old forgotten memories. He sure was disturbed by something else.

Till now he was only hearing the voices, only visualization was there. But now...A ghost was around him.

She was glaring at him, cursing him in the worst way ever, making those scary faces, and was extremely pissed.

"You piece of shit, how dare you to ignore me", That Demon Queen was outright threatening a little monster kid.

And somehow...Jiro was doing his best to ignore her as much as he could.

"Let's go big brother", Jiro summoned all the strength he could and told Piano to move forward.

The Demon Queen was following after them, she was floating in the air and was shoulder to shoulder with Piano, just he couldn't see or sense it. But he was getting chills from time to time.

"Kiddo! You better not avoid me. I know you can see me. Let's make a deal. You help me get out of this hell, and I will help you escape this pace as well. What do you say? Good offer right?".

Jiro wasn't giving her any attention and kept looking forward.

No matter how scared he was, the Demoness was living to her name.

When Jiro first heard the name Demon Queen, he immediately scarily pictured her. A woman who would have a face full of sneak heads, a nose that would be sharp and tall that even a tree might grow on it. Dark blue color skin texture, rough and thick, disgusting black color hair which would mop the floor. Two dark black color wings which would look disgustingly terrible that he would wanna escape from her the moment see her.

And legs which would be upside with no care at all.

In all...He pictured her in a disgustingly ugly way.

However, the reality was different. No! The reality was beautiful.

She wasn't what he thought and imagined her to be.

A face is full of allure with that fair complexion that even single acne couldn't be found on her face, a sharp nose that seemed to be made by God with extra care and time in his hands. Those eyes, the whole galaxy fit in them, he could see stars and every milky way in her eyes.

That figure and that waist, it was sculptured by an artist, with perfect shape ane size. Her hair was braided with no hair left behind, making her way too charismatic. Not to mention those wars which were twinkling and switching upwards with every slightest noise.

That blood red color off-shoulder dress was made only for her, it was spontaneously complementing her body and structure, she was damn sexy and beautiful.

Not to mention those long dark blue shiny wings which were flaunting her perfection.

It was hard to not look at her and resist her. How can she be called Demon Queen? instead of an evil being, she should have been a fairy or a deity.

In his entire life, he never saw anyone as beautiful as her. Every word she was speaking, it was getting delivered into his ears as an alcohol shot, it was hard to ignore her and behave as if she didn't exist.

Before when he could only hear her voice, he was scared and shaking heavily, trying his best to not show anything on his face.

But now that she was looming in front of him, she was getting filtered before it reaches his ears and mind.

There was no way he was scared or getting feeling chills.

Rather, it was hard for him.

Her voice was no less than any drug, he felt like he was getting addicted to that drug.

"Monster Child, talk to me, I don't have so much free time to talk with you. Give me any sign that you can understand me, or else...".

She surely was impatient to threaten a child like that. She was no scarier with that beautiful face of her. If anything, she was only making his heart race faster than its usual speed. And there was nothing more to it...

"Hey, system! You said she is Demon Queen, so why isn't she like all the demons I have seen in the movies before? Here...look at her, she is so pretty that I feel like I have fallen for her. Why didn't you warn me before that her beauty can harm me in a great way".

He was crying in his in his heart. He had crushes on many girls before, but he was never able to confess to them. And even if he did, there was no way anyone said yes to him.

So he eventually stopped fantasizing about anything and threw out all the girls he thought he had a crush on, it was hard but he did so.

But right now...

The heart he thought to be cold-hearted, was getting warm again. The reason was pretty clear. Two people made this possible.

One was Piano and the second one was this...The Demon Queen was robbing his heart bit by bit.

[This isn't called an Illusionary dungeon for anything. Here....you seek what isn't real, you see what cannot happen in your wildest dreams. So never get tangled in a trap like this, you will be hurt]

His system appeared with the warning.

Jiro kind of understood what he meant. But what did this mean by this isn't real?

Piano and Jiro were looking for a way and missed out on a very important factor.

And it was only now that Jiro understood what the system mean. The system was giving him hints one after another, it was he who failed to understand anything.

But now, he knows what to do.

Ignoring the Demon queen, he tapped his no flesh only bone fingers on Piano's heart gently. "Big Brother! I think I know how to escape from this place", His voice held that confidence that was needed at the moment.

Piano's immediately lifted his head towards the sky and looked at Jiro. "You found the way? How can we leave? What's the method?", he asked with an unbeatable excitement in his voice.

"Do you have anything to cover your ears?", Jiro asked.

"To cover our ears? Umm...I think I do have something", Said Piano as he stopped at his track and started searching for something in his leather bag.

He searched for two minutes and finally found the earbuds made from a special material that can hold any noise reaching one's ear.

He had three pairs in his bag, he took out all three and show them to Jiro. " Will this do?"

Jiro was glad that there was something on him that can make the outside voice concealed.

"Yes! This will do..."

The piano had no idea what this little guy was going to do with these earbuds. At some point, he even thought that Jiro was about to tell him to go to sleep as he was sleep driven for three days. But he believed that it wasn't the case.

The Demon Queen on the other hand was shocked as hell when she heard him say he got the way to escape from this place.

It's been thousands of years since she was trapped here. In the past, she screamed for help, cried every night, and tried her best, to perform magic to get out of this hell. But everything was in vain.

Since that mage had performed some magic on her before trapping her in this forest, no one could see her, she was non-existent to everyone...even the strong beast and another normal lowly being.

Every time she tried to perform magic or spells to break herself free, it always backfired her in any way possible.

No one that entered this illusionary Dungeon was able to return alive, they died here in the end and only their bone remain.

But now this small monster kid was saying he can set them free? It was impossible to believe.
