Act V
Pov Shizuru
The way to Eli's house was a bit silent, the two humans stopped following us right after she suggested that I stay at her house, I honestly think it's not a good idea but it's not a bad idea
What I really came to do I did not do at all because of that mini-tour that Eli gave me, although I can say it is not so bad, and tomorrow I will try to infiltrate inside the castle and thus be able to closely observe the actions of the King and the heroes.
The more we walked we got closer to a clean area and I realize it is where those who have a great social status or who have a considerable amount of money without being noble already live
I see that Eli stops and I do the same to see what happened, in that he looks at me
[My home is that house ...]
When he said that he pointed to a well built wooden house with up to two floors, but there were lights on
[... But I don't know why the lights are on, I don't remember leaving them on]
I had already assumed that it was a relative who was in her house but I remember that she told me that her parents exchanged her for three sheep and two pigs since they did not have enough to support themselves
But the good thing says that she was not abused or anything since when she was being transported with her "master", the carriage was attacked by a beast and which killed everyone and she could only hide in the rubble and hope that it was outside
So quickly I start walking towards her house and stand next to the wall that had the front window to be able to see through it and with the Huerguen skill I create a somewhat simple sword
Eli stands behind me to see what he was and looks out to see what I do to realize that it was one of the heroes of the kingdom called Reil
[I've been waiting for this Eli for an hour and I started to get bored]
[Leave it to me, I don't know why he's looking for you but I assure you that he won't do anything to you]
I said it without thinking, and that made her blush and it is normal I think
And since I have control of the shadows, I opened the door without him noticing and just when I take the first step I see him turn quickly and see me standing with a sword in hand
[I don't know who you are but it's good that you showed up, I was already really bored]
When saying that he puts on some black tastes and puts himself in a pose that looked like some martial art of this world
[Why are you in this house, Hero Reil?]
[I see you know my name but that doesn't change the fact that I will have fun with you]
[I asked if why were you in this house, not if you were going to have fun with me]
I do not take any pose or anything, I just show myself relaxed waiting for an attack from him, as soon as I see him take a step I raise the sword slightly, in a matter of seconds I was already dodging a punch that went directly to my face while I was throwing him a cut which he just dodged
[Oh you were able to dodge my attack, I congratulate you little town]
[I'm not a villager, I just hope you answer my question]
[Why are you so interested in knowing about this? Is that Eli something of yours?]
[That's right, that's why I ask you]
[* Sigh * I am supposed to say nothing but the king ordered him to "take" her to the castle so I don't know what]
I was about to ask why but I see that Eli walks into the room with a somewhat scared face and with doubt
[Why would the King look for me?]
[Don't ask me, I just follow orders and said orders don't say anything about wearing it in one piece]
When he said that, a huge smile formed on my face and he placed himself back in battle position.
But since he bothered me, he said so, so I licked my sword that had part of his blood, they both looked at me somewhat with displeasure
[How about I freeze some of your blood?]
With my hand, I make a gesture, and out of nowhere from his arm pieces of sharp red ice began to come out
[W-What the fuck ?!, ¿B-Blood Control?]
I see that he starts backing up and eventually starts running desperately out the window in the direction of the castle
[Are you going to let him run away ?!]
[Yes, he no longer presents any danger]
[Why?!]
[Didn't you see that I froze part of his blood? That will make the circulation not good and then little by little he will die]
[Wait did you freeze the blood?]
When he said that, she began to take steps backward little by little, while she seemed to be getting nervous in her way.
[Only a few demons can use that just]
When he said that I opened my eyes in surprise, I did not know that only demons could use it and how I do not like to lie
[* Sighed * I didn't know that, well I wouldn't want to bother you so I better retired]
I make the sword disappear and he begins to calmly leave, once I went through the door so I wanted to turn around I did not and I started walking while I followed the smell of blood that the hero had left
After a while I hear footsteps in the distance, it seemed that I was running and turned out of pure curiosity, and I did not see anyone, I only heard a scream and with that, I stopped
[W-Wait!]
It was Eli who looked somewhat agitated
[S-Shizuru, wait]
[What's going on?]
She looked a little worried so to speak, this day she is not what she had in mind and now we only have to live the moment
[Well, I'm sorry for the fact that I went back and didn't tell you anything back there if obviously, I'm still surprised that you are a demon, but even more, so that you haven't killed me, you even protected me]
Now that I think about it, even I find myself in the same way, since I don't think that if another person, human or not, approached me in the same way, I wouldn't be doing this
[* Sigh * Shizuru thing happens, sooner or later you were going to find out]
[I know, * Chill * it's already getting cold, we'd better go to my house and we'll talk about the matter well tomorrow]
[Okay let's go]
Sometimes it is not necessary to search for gold, it comes to you when you least expect it
