Volume 2: Chapter 1 - Part 1
Author: Geraint
The next day, everyone of us was brought to their barracks and they're going to conduct training for us to became heroes which we couldn't refuse.
"Uuuu... What am I going to do."
Shiina besides me was squirming her legs and holding on her tummy. The same with Yuuka and Riko together with the other girls.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
"Their restroom is unsanitary and it really stinks! I can't even hold it out for few seconds staying near that place! Uuugh~ I want to go home." Riko complained and she's getting home sick.
Kaho-san was silent the whole time but I can see on her face that she was enduring it also.
Lilith was fine and she looks satisfied and happy with a big smile on her face when she looks at me.
This girl... don't tell me.
Everyone was already on their wits end and some of them are about to cry.
"Alright, you girls! Follow me."
"Huh?"
They were puzzled but seeing Yuuka and Shiina listening to me obediently, they decided to do so and followed after us.
"Where are you guys going? Go back to the camp!"
Two knights blocked our path while holding on their sword which made everyone anxious.
"Toilet."
"The restroom is over there. It's forbidden for you guys to pass here!"
"Huh? You guys are the one who brought us here!" Riko got furious.
"That's right! Bring us back home!"
The other girls protested.
"Shut up and go back to the camp! And if you don't, there will be consequences!"
The two knights pulled out their sword and pointed it towards us which made everyone threatened.
"Kyaah!"
"Hey! Stop that!"
Kaho-san went in front of the girls to protect them.
"Lilith."
"Yes, Seir-sama."
After Lilith's response, she appeared behind the two knights and knocked both of them out with a stun gun in each of her hands.
"It's very convenient."
She looks happy with her new toys which was flickering.
"Make sure there will be no trace of them."
"As you order."
Lilith dragged the two unconscious bodies with her away from the vicinity.
"Let's go."
The girls followed after me but some of them became scared of me.
We arrived on some kind of storage building.
"You girls stay here for a moment."
I went and turned to the building, looking around then I created a huge void in front of me and I pulled out several portable toilets one by one.
Calling everyone, they were shock to see those public toilet that usually on the street in their home world and they had tears of joy. They were so distracted that nobody asked where I got them.
"I'll be a watch out."
Returning back after waiting for them to finish, some of them hugging those portable toilets like their lover.
"I'll marry you instead. You're more useful than my boyfriend."
"Oh, darling. You are all I need."
They turned into weirdos.
"Let's go back, everyone. They might noticed that we are missing."
"Yes..."
When Lilith returned back, everyone became pale to see her holding a shovel.
"Good work, Lilith."
Lilith gracefully bowed to me.
I turned towards the girls and put my index finger in front of my lips.
"Ssssh! You guys saw nothing, right?"
Seeing me smiling, some of them nodded to me.
"Just kidding. They are still alive."
They all sighed in relief.
"If they survive."
Their face became pale again.
"Pffffft! Hahaha!"
I laughed hard and walked ahead of them.
After listening to the long speech from the knight instructor, they brought us to their cafeteria and served us some food. On our plate was a hard bread and some kind of baked sweet potato and everyone was very disappointed.
"Stop being picky! This is because of those demonic beings ravaging our farm in the villages. You should be glad that we can still serve you some food!"
I tried to eat the bread but it was very hard and the baked sweet potato doesn't taste that good. The sweet potato must be stored for too long that it lost the freshness.
Everyone was gloomy when we left the cafeteria and some of them didn't even touch their food which annoyed the knights guarding us.
"I already want to go home and eat your cookings, Onii-sama."
"Me too, Seir-kun."
Yuuka and Shiina looks very tired.
"Unless we defeat the Demon King, they won't return us back to our home world." Kaho-san looks frustrated.
"Their food taste so bad that I miss my Dad's ramen in our shop. It feels like we are treated as prisoners than heroes." Riko looks dispirited.
Suddenly, a group of knights was marching with some of them injured and covered in bandages as they dispersed here in the camp. Some of them scared and traumatized which I see on their expressions and behind them was a steel cage which is being pulled by them and inside was a ferocious demonic being locked in chains.
The high ranking knight goes towards them in hurry.
"Hey there! What happened? Where's your commander?"
The knight who seems to be leader glanced down and he shook his head as he was about to cry.
The high ranking knight became furious and he stomped his feet in frustration.
"Damn those demons!"
That night, I sneaked out with Lilith and we went to visit the demonic being that they captured. She was young demonic woman who has dark skin, long wavy white hair and amber eyes with black irises. She has few black scales attached to her skin.
"Grrrrr..."
She was growling as we approached her.
"Humans..."
Suddenly jumping to us behind the bars, she tried to reach us with her claws and she realized that we aren't intimidated by her.
"You damned creatures! I won't forgive you!"
She felt weakened and held the injury on her waist.
"Uuugh..."
"Have you calmed down yet?" I spoke in demon language which widened her eyes.
"Who are you?"
"You are in the presence of our Demon King Seir-sama."
"Huh? The current Demon King is Prince Eligor. That bastard has caused the Demon Realm to be disarray."
"Seir-sama is the real Demon King."
"Uuugh..."
She is in pain because of her injury.
"Lilith, heal her."
"Yes, Seir-sama."
Lilith casted a healing spell and her injuries slowly disappeared.
"Hahaha! To think I am lucky to meet fellow demons here."
She was an energetic woman as she spins her arm around.
"What's your name?"
"My name's Lory and I used to be part of demon army until I eloped and got married to a beastmen. I was leaving a happy life with my husband until those humans attack our home. My husband escaped with our two children while I stayed and buy some time for them to escape. In the end, I got captured and here I am. At least, I ripped their commander to shreds. That guy is very arrogant and he called us filthy creatures."
"So, that's what happened."
"Hey! As fellow demons, how about helping me out here?"
"Not yet. I have a job for you."
We stared on each other eyes for moment then she grinned.
"Let me hear it."
