"So, who is this master of yours?"
In this long journey towards their master's mansion, Ania decided to ask them something to avoid the awkward situation. Following this three is her own desire and at the same time, unwillingness for her. Because by this she can find a lot of demons and can know their weakness. And unwillingness because her kind should not be sticking with this kind of creature, plus she didn't know what will happened to her in this place. Thinking of this, she was filled with both encouragement and frustration.
She is a demon hunter, traveling to kill demon but here she is, talking and following a demon. However, now the only thing she can do is to be friends with them. She had a lot of worse experiences than this so what can go wrong?
"Nevermind. After I'm done with this, I'll immediately meet with Marcus in the mountain."
Ania's eyes flashed with confidence and encouragement. Her hand formed into a fist while putting it in her chest. Even if she's alone and no longer had her sword, as long as she had her skill remained, she can still complete this mission. She can still think of a lot of strategy and plans like her previous plan b.
Ania returned from her inner thoughts when big white , the white rabbit who she now called by that name, shake her shoulder.
"Hey, what's up?"
"You're the one who is asking me about my master and now you're asking me what's up?"
"Tell me are you even listening to me?"
Ania nodded. "Of course."
"Then what did I said just now?"
Ania gave a long thought before answering. "That your master is a demon."
A long silence was made after that. "Good guessing... Okay maybe you're right but your also not listening."
"Oh come on! I'm sorry okay? I'm just in a deep thought that time— oh look we're here!"
Ania looked at the gate of the mansion is a daze. Just looking at this mansion, she almost made her jaw drop. "Is this even a mansion? This is clearly a castle! A big big castle!"
This may look like an old fashion house but the appearance cannot be compared to any house that she had been, well except for her father's. But this house cost a fortune! She immediately inspected her surroundings.
What met her eyes was a well decorated garden with a flower bed not smaller than a fifty square meters. Is this even a flower bed? This is taken care by a demon servants. All different type of demons. When you look at this place, it is compost of no less than a hundred demons working here. Ania cannot help but to think about the inside.
"There you are!"
Ania jumped up in shock of the loud shout. A white demon fox lady is coming towards her in an extremely fast pace or so she thought. The three beside her is already trembling by the sight of this white fox.
"Head chef."
This white fox is portraying a gentle lady with a smile plastered in her face but the aura around her is opposite to what it says. It was dark and gloomy as if something is going to happened if a wrong move was done. No wonder why this three is scared.
"I hope that you have what I want." This white fox is fanning herself while waiting patiently for the answer. But the three cannot help but to tremble and sweat.
"Uhmmm about that-"
"Hmmm..."
The small eyes of her went slightly bigger making the rabbits shut their lips.
"We forgot about the herb-"
But we found someone who can replace the other one!"
Blackie immediately added before big white can finish her sentence. Ania cannot help but to try to stop herself from laughing because of the visible sweat of the three. You poor little soul.
"Hmm you've found someone? Where?"
Blackie dragged the laughing Ania towards the demon white fox. "Here!"
She inspected Ania with her small eyes intensely enough to cause Ania to sweat seriously. She cursed at herself silently. Karma is really a b*tch!
"You know why this job is very important and dangerous, right? The other one died because of her carelessness."
"Your only job is to bring the master his food and wake him up properly. Don't worry about the house for you will be given a room in this mansion. Do not worry about the money for you will be given a hefty amount of gold for it. After you're done with your work, you can do everything you want. Are we clear?"
"I said are we clear?"
"Ye-yes ma'am!"
"Good! You're hired. Follow me. Good work you three, now you can go."
"Yes ma'am!" The three of them gave their salute and immediately run away from there.
Ania wanted to shed a tear. She could not recall some memories of her agreeing to be a servant of this place. And more to a demon!
She looked at the three who were already a few meters away from her. The three only looked at her apologetically. "We're sorry, we don't have any choice. We owe you one!"
But her ears heard blackie. "See ? I told that bringing her here is a good choice."
Ania wanted to cry. Those scheming rabbit demons! Wait until I see you again!
"What are you standing there? Come and follow me to the kitchen."
Ania flinch when a voice whispers near her neck. It gives her chills in her spine. Brr. This albino fox! Just really wait until I can eradicate you all!
Ania still followed her despite of the unspoken words she had in her mind. Ania's feelings are hard to describe at the moment. She wanted disappear in this world. She shook her head trying to erase the thoughts in her mind. No she mustn't.
The kitchen was spacious and a lot of rare ingredients are present . Thinking about the foods that she can make with this made her saliva to flow out of her mouth. Her hand tried to reach the ingredients but was slap by the white fox.
"Your job is not done yet!"
She gave the tray of food to Ania. "Go and wake the master up and give this food to him. Remember, he must finish this all."
Ania wanted to cry.
"No!"
She cannot imagine herself being a servant of a demon. "Why is she even here again!?"
