The Devil's On Me

oo4. Changed hands

Rania stood in front of the fence of the house anxiously, poking her head hoping that the child would appear at the end of the street. She shouldn't have nagged Theodoric just now just because of the door problem. So the child did not leave during this time after being nagged, Rania was just afraid of Theodoric not returning home.

There was no other family the young man could ask for help. Or, stay at a friend's house. As far as Rania knows, Theodoric has no close friends all along. Only friends of high school alumni, even if they cross paths, they are just busy boasting.

Theodoric is indeed her son who doesn't like his friends like that much. As a result, Theodoric only befriends his virtual game friends. Every night there must be a giggle, even bubbling in the middle of the night.

Hence, Rania was anxious about her son. Afraid that Theodoric will only be able to get close to virtual friends. God forbid also when it comes to virtual marriages with intangible people.

"I'm home,"

Rania gasped in surprise when she heard Theodoric's voice on the side, the young man stepped up as he opened the gate.

His expression was sour with lips curled down. Rania knew very well that now Theodoric was still cranky like children in general. So, Rania will provide something that can restore Theodoric mood.

"It's good, yes, these nights are eating somay." Rania said in a carefree tone, trying to provoke Theodoric's mood that was still hardening. "Or larval meatballs? You used to eat that yesterday," Rania continued, still trying.

Theodoric didn't respond, just stepping inside his unheralded room.

"It seems that there is something strange, usually if it is a child rubbed using somay or meatballs... instantly brightened his face." Rania murmured squinting, "something is strange," she said still confused.

The woman approached Theodoric's room, observing her sleeping child in a sideways position. Whether it's actually sleeping or just pretending, there's obviously something strange about Theodoric.

"It's okay if the door is broken, mom is not angry. You didn't intentionally do it anyway." Rania said vaguely, "don't feel guilty so. Mom was also not very angry just now, just surprised that the door fell in front of mom." Rania explained by thinning her lips for a moment.

Theodoric sighed faintly, changing positions. Now sleeping on his back looking at his mother in the doorway.

"Who also feels guilty?I'm just  tired of, anyway just the door." Theodoric's grumble closed his eyes again.

"Oh? Now it's starting to be brazen, yes, given the heart to ask for a heart." Omel His mother approached and directly hit Theodoric's arm lightly.

"Oh,"

Theodoric suddenly positioned himself with an annoyed expression. Meanwhile, his mother now rounds her eyes in shock feeling something strange.

"You're sick huh?" Said his mother again speaking harshly. Sticking out a hand then fingering the forehead and then down the child's hot neck.

"Heh! It's really hot, you have this fever." Panicked Rania again held Theodoric's still hot forehead like he was on a fire.

"We see a doctor now, you why do you get sick like this anyway? You've been sick a lot lately." His mother said anxiously, pulling Theodoric's arm to leave for the hospital immediately.

However, Theo shook his head quickly with a relaxed body back down. "My body temperature is usually this way, mom. Don't disturb, I want to rest." The young man said quietly, shaking his hand away his mother from the room.

The anxious Rania actually didn't want to get out of the child's room. But, seeing Theodoric seemingly fine made her weakened.

Thedoric's body temperature is indeed high now. But, there was no sign that Theodoric had a fever or was sick. Not complaining and also grimacing in pain as usual. Want to be spoiled, ask to buy this and that.

"Theodoric, fine, mother."

Rania looked in shock at Theodoric's ludicrous remarks. No, only Rania was amused to hear the sentence. Theodoric too, because the one who just controlled it was Yatara.

"We-well, mom came out first, my son." Rania retorted unconsciously so followed.

A few minutes after his mother walked out of the room. Theodoric clicked faintly, positioning himself by closing his eyes for a moment trying to be patient.

"You've promised, not to control me casually." Annoyed Theodoric at Yatara who was inside his body.

"I just want you to go to the kingdom immediately, because I am anxious about the state of the father." Obviously Yatara did not appear.

Theodoric squealed faintly, rubbing his thick hair back. "You don't have any malice, do you? I went there just to meet the person you said would help get you out of my body. It's not used as a sacrifice or something, right?" Asked the young man who was only wearing a shabby singlet anxiously.

"There is no such thing in the kingdom." Yatara's calm retorted allowing Theodoric to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm really just meeting people who can help us both, right?" Theodoric asked again assuring.

"Yes, you're not needed in my kingdom either. So, it won't linger there." Yatara replied as he was, Theodoric glared with his own grumbling.

"It's a full moon soon,"

"Why is it that the moon is full?" Theo asked frowning, sitting leaning against the head of the mattress as he looked at Yatara who was now sitting next to him. The body was transparent but Theo could see clearly how handsome the figure was.

"Before the full moon I must return to the kingdom immediately. For that army of betrayers will not let me linger in the place of man, where you are." Yatara explained by sharpening his gaze.

"What would they do if you didn't go home to your kingdom?"

"They will definitely come looking for you."

Theodoric reflexes dismissively, "what's my fault? Why did they come looking for me?" Yatara blinked faintly, casting a glance at all corners of Theodoric's room.

"Now I'm in your body. You're definitely looking for it too," Yatara explained already standing, approaching the door propped against the wall of the room. The young man tried to point his right hand at the door, but nothing happened.

"What are you doing?"

Yatara turned her head quietly, "I want to help knock the door."

Theodoric chuckled at the words. "If you want, there must be a new board. Also there should be nails with hammers, you know that right?" Yatara said nothing, watching Theodoric's gestures then shook his head repeatedly.

"Why is your expression so?" Theodoric felt offended at how Yatara looked at him unfriendly.

"Actually, I'm not entirely sure, but let you point your hand at this door." Yatara's point at the split door made Theo raise high eyebrows feeling strange with the request of a taller figure than him.

"Make what?" Annoyed Theodoric stuck his right hand towards the door of his room. Then Yatara also stood where Theodoric stood. Now Yatara is like the shadow of the unemployed young man.

A few moments later a bright beam like flames burst out of Theodoric's palm making the young man jump up instantly in fright.

"Yo-you... want to burn down my house?" Theodoric's jerk unconsciously raised the sound as he looked at his palm that was emitting fire just now.

Yatara, who was standing in a position now slowly withdrew with a slow shake of his head.

"No way, as far as I know, it's impossible to be able to." His own murmured making Theodoric's eyebrows beside him interlock.

"What's impossible?" The young man asked as he stepped closer to the closet, opened his shabby singlet and threw it on the floor. Then opened the closet picked up one of the t-shirts and put it on quickly.

"There seems to be something strange about my strength," Yatara said moving his eyes uncalmly.

"What strength, anyway? Don't talk about the no-no. It just makes people curious," Theodoric shook his head in wonder at the figure in front of him claiming to be the prince of the kingdom.

Yatara did not respond to Theodoric's talk, the young man again stood facing the door in front of him. Directing his right hand by closing his eyes for a moment, focusing the mind. Slowly he opened his eyes and then began to unleash his strength.

Nothing happened. No one came out. And no movement was felt as his power poured out on his palm.

Yatara sighed faintly, looking back at Thedoric who was gawking at the side of the bed. Observing his movements from earlier.

"It seems, my strength... changed hands,"

"Huh? What? Change hands, how about it?" Theodoric asked confused, standing up scratching his non-itchy hair.

"Let you stretch out your hand again here, don't panic." Yatara said looking at Theodoric straight, pointing at the door with his chin.

Theodoric took a momentary breath, then exhaled faintly. The flames just now still clearly remembered what made him want to undo his intentions. However, the gaze of Yatara next to him made the young man inexplicably just obey. It seemed to be sedated by the prince's expensive aura.

"Theodoric! How many times have you said, don't be anchovy––" Rania's remarks came to a halt when she saw the transparent figure beside the child.

Yatara and Theodoric looked at each other because his mother could see Yatara who reflexively eliminated hisself. It just vanished with a small light that seemed to be absorbed into Theodoric's body.

Rania, who saw it, rounded her eyes even more in shock, stepping back with her mouth gaping.

"Wait, that was just now... what? You're learning to play magic, huh?" Rania asked innocently making her son shake his head quickly.

"That was just now... actually..." Theodoric hung up his talk, not knowing whether to explain how.

It is said that Yatara is a traveler from the kingdom who fled to the human world. Continued to hide inside his sword because the temperature of the human dwelling was too hot. Later, by accident Theodoric finds the sword and something amazing happens. His sword was absorbed into Theodoric's body until now.

Surely his mother would stalk him crazy.

"Theo, don't let mom kick you out! Don't be weird, what was that just now?" Rania's growl now screeched around her waist, casting a look in search of the transparent figure earlier.

"What was that just now... demons?" Rania continued to frown in confusion, "but, even if it is fleeting... mom can see... If the devil was handsome just now." Rania continued nodding her head sure to make Theodoric suddenly screech violently.

Theodoric rolled his eyes when he heard his mother's remarks praising Yatara. "Mother why... can see this person?" Point the young man at the air next to him, not fully aware that Yatara has disappeared.

Rania followed the direction of the child's point, her eyebrows intertwined with Theodoric getting more and more squeaky.

"What do you point to? No one was there," Theodoric turned his head, glancing faintly at the sight of Yatara who was no longer beside him.

Theodoric approached his mother, holding both shoulders of the mother quietly with a serious expression.

"Mother, look at it... the one who was trasnparan just now?"

"H-hm? It seems to be yes." Rania replied dubiously.

"Mom still remembers when I was in the hospital, I told the doctor about all the events I had. The matter of the sword that I found and absorbed into my hand, do you still remember it?" Says Theodoric, moving both eyes unsettled.

"Remember for sure, and the doctor speculated that you had a history of psychiatric illness." Rania said now returning Theodoric's passionate gaze.

"Okay, that sword that entered my body belongs to someone. And the owner is the person you saw just now, who is transparent." Obviously Theodoric was convinced.

Rania clicked faintly, hitting her son's forehead lightly with a palm making Theodoric make a small tangle as he rubbed his achingly throbbing forehead.

"What are you talking about, the more absurd. How did the sword get into your body? Is it food? Even if the food should enter through the mouth down to the esophagus and then processed with the stomach." Cerocos Rania nagged, "keep you saying the sword went into your body? Before entering, you should be dead now that your throat is directly split." The woman continued with a shake of her head in astonishment.

"Why can't mom believe me, anyway? What I'm saying now is true mother, it's all reality." Theodoric said, "then, you have to hear for yourself the explanation of the man who has the sword." Said the young man sighed harshly, grabbed his hair then positioned himself on the side of the mattress.

"You can show yourself now?" Theodoric said lazily, hearing his son's question, Rania became nervous herself. Fear that Theodoric had been following a cult of heresy. And it could be that the person he had seen was a demon or a demon or something that came to charge Theodoric a sacrifice.

"If you don't show yourself now, I won't be able to go to your kingdom." Theo said half-threateningly making Yatara forced to reveal his transparent self. Rania, who saw it, had a reflex rounding her eyes in shock, repeatedly rubbing her eyes trying to make sure that what she was seeing now was real.

"Good night," Yatara greeted politely, nodding her head quietly standing firmly before Rania now who was already gawking in the doorway. "I am the owner of the sword that now resides in Theodoric's body, my name is Yatara." Rania didn't listen much to the words of the transparent figure in front of her, her eyes and thoughts only focused on Yatara's handsome face that seemed to be able to anesthetize her.

"Wait, if you can hide in the sword... You're definitely not human, right?" Rania guessed squinting.

"I came from the kingdom of Eternal Ice. I ran away from there because of one situation that required me to come into the human world." Obviously the young man with his cold gaze made Rania squint still feeling that something was stuck.

"What my son said is right? You and your sword got into his body?" Rania asked trying to make sure, Yatara nodded in agreement.

"I can't explain why all of this happened. Because I don't understand either, why a human being can survive until now." Yatara's words made Rania frown in confusion, "in my nation ... If there is an incident like this. The one with the body, for sure... will die." Obviously the young man blinked faintly. Unaware that his mother Theodoric had widened her eyes in shock.

Meanwhile, Theodoric just kept quiet. Occasionally grumbling faintly at Yatara's explanation. He also sighed softly at the sound of his mother speaking softly at the foreign figure who claimed to be the prince.

"In that case, you should get out of his body Theodoric immediately. Don't put my son in danger," Rania approached as she looked straight at Yatara who was now ducking over the woman's short body.

"That's the case,"

"What? Why is that the case? You don't mean to say, if you can't get out, right?" Rania guessed scared, when Yatara nodded his head making the woman widen her eyes even more.

"So, Theodoric... going to die?" Theodoric who heard that suddenly rolled his eyes lazily.

"There is one way," Yatara said turning momentarily at Theodoric on the side of the mattress.

"What?"

"Theodoric should go to the kingdom of Eternal Ice. There is someone there who can help solve this problem," Yatara explained confidently.

Rania was silent for a while, thinning her lips. "So, Theodoric is going to your kingdom?" Yatara said yes again. "If that's the only way, yes... already." Theodoric looked at his mother who agreed with ease. Even though her son will be taken to a kingdom that is nowhere where Theodoric does not know.

"Mother why can you agree to his words so easily?" Annoyed Theodoric was already standing, biting his jaw firmly.

"It's not easy, kid. Even if mom refuses, it means you will die." Rania said shaking her head repeatedly. "At least you have to go to this child's kingdom, the mother here will help with prayer." Rania continued with teary eyes.

"When did you guys go to that External kingdom?"

"Eternal Ice," Theodoric rectified quickly with his expression of excitement.

"Yes, that... when will you guys leave there?" Yatara was silent for a moment, sticking a hand in the air facing the window of Theodoric's room.

"It can't be open here."

"What's open?" Theo asked in confusion, "the door leads to it, we have to look for it." Obviously Yatara again directed his hand trying to find a place that he could make a door to his kingdom.

Yatara showed something in front of them. A school famous for its thug-like students.

"Behind this place, we have to go there. You know this place, right?"

Theodoric nodded affirmatively, "that's the school's name, it's filled with delinquents. If you can go at night, if it's morning or afternoon, when there are students. I don't want to," the young man said firmly refusing.

"Why?"

"Because I could have been porridge before going to your place."

"Hm?"

"The kids at that school will beat you up if they meet or just cross paths with them. Moreover, later we are going to their school, horrified." Theodoric said glaring faintly, wagging his hand in disapproval.

Yatara said yes, though later muttered to herself.

"Though you can kill people by using my power now."
