Chereads / A Sudden Life In A New World / Chapter 4 - Chapter 2 part 2

Chapter 4 - Chapter 2 part 2

As I walk along the Academy hallway toward the dormitory building, it gave me a lot of time to think about myself. If I recall what happened this day, it didn't feel like the usual. For the first time in my life as Reed, this was the happiest moment that I ever went through. Waking up next to a naked loli-babe fox-kin, got to meet and talked with Ruald, and most importantly, I manage to gather some useful information regarding the tools of this world. The Crystal Connector. Man, I want that cheat item in the future for myself! Thinking about this, I waltzing my way on the empty hallway as if it was *made by my father. (*local idiom where the author's lived/it means that it was practically made for his own use without regard of others)

Though my sweet time was put to a halt not long after because trouble suddenly surface In the face of a beauty with green emerald pupils and an elegant blonde bob cut hairstyle, looking towards me with a glare.

"*Oh, Hi Elise." (*you know, the famous 'oh, hi Mark')

"Don't you 'hi' me like we are acquitted with each other!" (Elise)

Man… just what problem did she had with me now…? what a buzz kill…

"Well… if that's all, adios…!"

"Wait!" (Elise)

Why you… stop blocking my way, you stupidly beautiful annoying, persistent girl whom I don't want to *like! (stop hitting yourself, man…)

"Cmon…! I want to get back to my room for dinner, girl… I'm famished right now-..."

(growl)

"See…!?"

Nope… that's not my stomach that growled just now… though I did felt hungry after hearing that.

"Lair! That was my stomach-…. Ahem." (Elise)

Did she just…?? pff! better not to laugh at her, she seems like she's about to cry…

"Just what is the meaning of this, "Miss Perfect"?"

Oppss… that came out wrong. Oh crap! Her teary eyes starting to burn in anger after my slip of tongue….

"That again! Why did you call me that Title!? Are you mocking me!?" (Elise)

Aahh… is that why she's acting like this…?

"Tell you the truth… it just a slip of tongue. I was badly injured, and I didn't know what I said to you. If it makes you better, I apologize for my rude remarked…."

...…(awkward silence)

Hmm…? Why did she haven't said anything? I did give a gentleman's bow with the apologies earlier, but why did she-...

"Again with the acting…. Are you looking down on me because I'm a commoner?" (Elise)

Wha? why is this misunderstanding keeps happening?

"Ayaa… this is getting annoying… just speak your mind, girl!"

I was getting annoyed by her who held me here from getting my delicious dinner and got my tone a bit high. She's frightened at first, but she bit her glossy lips then went back to her angry glare towards me. How brave…

"I… I apologize to my action by slapping you that time." (Elise)

Growling like that ain't showed that you are apologizing to people, you know? Or it's common for this world to apologize like that...? No wonder she got mad earlier. Common sense in this world is really strange indeed…

"Oh… about that… you know that I was bleeding out that time, didn't you?"

"I know!" (Elise)

"Then why did you slap me?"

"It.. It's because… I never felt those anger before in my entire life. You pretend you were unhurt while challenging towards the other students, even though you could collapsed at any moment. And that guy, Dort, was acting like that was because of me…." (Elise)

Wai… she said something that pique my interest just now.

"What did you mean by "that prick Dort was acting because of you"…?"

Why is she fidgeting her fingers and looked all bashful suddenly…? Don't tell me….

"My God… you both were dating?!"

"Wha…!? No! Absolutely wrong! He confessed to me before but I didn't give him an answer. But he didn't stop wooing me since… and when he founds out about the incident in the female washroom, he became furious and spouting nonsense about trying to regain my honor back… even though I tell him hundred times that nothing happen between the two of us back then…" (Elise)

"Cut the story short, you're the reason that prick was gunning towards me, aren't you?"

She hung her head down and softly let out a small voice.

"Y-yes…" (Elise)

Sigh… i though Dort as just another idiot who was hating my guts for no reason what so ever. Turns out, I got untangled from a love dispute. How irritating….

"Then… why didn't you accept his feelings? He's rich, isn't he? Not to mention he had a good-looking face, though it was a waste because he's an idiot…"

"He, uhm… he's too possessive… and clingy as well…" (Elise)

Now why did I feel like that gay friend whom the ladies had their love talk with? Anyway… if I recall from the players that try to capture him in the game, they did said that he just like Elise describe. I don't get it why did some people likes those annoying traits. Sure, he had a good-looking face and was strong. But remembering the comments of those players that chooses him as a target just makes my innards uncomfortable.

(growl)

Oh… it's my tummy turn to growl. There, there doggie… please hold for a moment while I tried to escape from this annoying beauty…

"right… is that all?"

"Huh…?" (Elise)

"Don't 'huh' me… what else you wanted to talk about? My doggie already crying out of hunger just now."

"Doggie, what…?" (Elise)

"Man… this is getting nowhere… if you done asking question, I'm leaving."

I went past her, but she suddenly grabs my sleeve, preventing me leave before I could make my escape. Damn, this girl is quick!

"T-that time… when you entered the female washroom… did you planning on assaulting me…?" (Elise)

Didn't this just went back to square one? Ahh… that's it…!

(thump)

"Huh?" (Elise)

I pushed her to the walls with the famous *kabedon (*slapping a wall fiercely, manga style) and lift her chin up with my fingers. Her body got frozen, because of my sudden acts. Not a moment after, she quickly shut her eyes as she bit her lips. Sigh… if she did this with Reed, I could only imagine what happens next. I went up closed to her ears and whispers…

...…(I want to put some flowers in the background, but I'm no manga artist. So, I let the readers to have their own imagination as to the scene when Reed/Riel *kabedon Elise)

(Elise's POV)

D-d-did he just pushes me toward the walls…!? This hungry wolf in human clothing that Sara had fallen for… he's going to have his way with me!! I was stupid to think that he had changed and felt pity towards him because he was injured because of me. But this guy is just the worst! Why did Sara fallen for him in the first place!? But no matter. If he raped me, I'll tell Sara that he was not the man that she thinks he is! But still… I scared… someone… help me….

....(breathing)

Eeeekkkk!!! I could hear him breathing soo closed to me right now! His fingers still holding my chin. I wanted to move, but my body was frozen out of fearing him. I knew it was a bad idea to wait for him alone! I should have brought Sara with me! But regretting that is useless now that it's already too late… my dreams to be with my Prince Charming like in one of the novels that both me and Sara liked soo much, will be ruined by this wolf…

...….(awkward silence)

Why is he taking soo long to kiss me! Did he purposelessly tries to make my spirit withers before going with my body? How evil can this man be…!? Making me feel waiting in terror like this! Don't tell me…? He's savoring my scent? Just like in those novels?! Eeekkkkkk!!! Hurry and be done with it!!

"Just kidding." (Reed)

Eeeeekkkk….!!! He's going to...?

"Huh?"

I open my eyes and noticed that I'm all alone in the hallway. Wha…?

"Whaa…!!?"

That bastard! Did he bail out on me just now?! That's it! I hate that person! How dare he play with my heart and abandon me after! This angers me…! I'm angry soo much that I'm thumping down my foot!

"I'll remember this, Reed! You hear me!?"

Guhh…!! I hate you!!

(end of Elise's POV)

.........>>

Phew…. I get away from that annoying girl and had to reach the dormitory where my room was located. Man, I'm famished!

"Evening Master. Did His Lordship has return to the Earldom?" (Seify)

"Yea… he sent his regards and thank for your hard work."

"I thank His Lordship with his kind regards. Dinner has been prepared, or Master wanted a bath first?" (Seify)

"Nope… food comes first. I'm famished…"

"I see…" (Seify)

Aww… please don't looked down like that, Sei… it breaks my heart seeing you sad.. But alas, I will wait until you left, then I'll get with my business… if you know what I mean…

Like always, the dinner table is filled with extravagant meals and wine. Man, I'm lucky to have such a professional personal maid. If only I could take her as my wife… or should I?

"Won't you join me for this dinner, Sei?"

"I humbly refused, Master. Servant had their own meals in the Servant quarters. If I ate here, that will be a waste for the meals that had been prepared for me." (Seify)

That's a shame… though I really wanted to eat dinner with her in the future. Should I order her then…? Nah. that will force her to have a dinner date with me. But still… there were extra portion unlike the usual dinner. But I could only guess, it's because of the smoll Angel who was sitting quietly next to me.

"H-hey… you just noticed that I was here, didn't you…?" (Kirara)

Oppss… did she noticed that? Damn! She was soo small that I didn't notice her earlier. But seeing her acting timid, unlike her usual haughty manner, just soo refreshing that makes me wanted to tease her more…

"Oh, my…. Did I, my dear Sei?"

"I don't know, my Master. I am also just noticed this tiny person." (Seify)

Did Sei just play along with me? Oh, my goodness! Did we just communicate with minds? Khii…! I knew we had a good chemistry!

"*Snif… *sniff…. hic." (Kirara)

Oh, man… I want to know sei more…! Should I just eloped with her and leave the Academy?

"Hic… uuu…uuuuuuueeeee….!!!" (Kirara)

Oh crap! Kirara suddenly cried! Did my teasing got the better of me? I looked toward Sei for an assist… did she just looked away…?! You traitor….!

"UUUUAAAAAAAAAAAA...!!! BULLYYYYY…...!!!!!" (Kirara)

Shit! I got panicked and quickly jumps from my chair and hugs her tightly in my arms.

"Huhuhuhuhuhu…. I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I'm just playing with you, alright…? Bad Reed! Bad Reed!"

"Why are you treating like a child!? Kirara is a grown lady!!" (Kirara)

Though you spoke those words, but aren't you letting me pat you like a child? Her redden cheeks look soo cute…! Can I pinch them…? No, no… that will make things worse than it was now. I should continue patting her, for now….

"There, there… Reed's sorry, alright…? Come, food is getting cold. We should eat while it still warm."

(bites)

"Ouch! Why did you bite my hand…?"

"Hump! That's payback for bullying me! Now, feed the great me!" (Kirara)

"Tch. as you wish, your Highness…"

As I let her go, I take the meat and puts them on her plate. She went back to her usual haughty manner and looks away even after I present her the meals. But her redden cheeks were really cute… wait? Am I slowly developing to becoming a lolicon with these impure thoughts to pinch her cheeks? This is bad…

"Feed me!" (Kirara)

"Now, now… I already put some meals on your plate, you know? What more do you want me to do?"

I said those words in a dejected tone. Hearing me like that, she slowly turns back towards me, who is looking 'depressed' and 'regretting' my actions just now. Though I was acting… but she wouldn't know that…

"Feed me… using your hands…." (Kirara)

Did that work? She stopped grumbling and now looked embarrassed. But I guess that's an improvement. But still… she only wanted me to 'feed' her, right? If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with it… I'll gladly do it…! (though Reed/Riel will regret these actions later In the future, but that story will come later on)

.........>>>

Three days had passed since Ruald's sudden visit here in the Academy. And with Dort got injured because of the duel, he was given a leave and spend times on his family home outside the campus. Quiet and peace finally came to my Academy life as there were no more annoying bugs buzzing on my ears. And what's even better, the nickname Demonspawn had been wiped from the mouth of the students.

"Eeekkkk!! It's the Demon King!" (stupid girl)

Did she just called me Demon King because I was just came out from the washroom just now? Nah… it's must be my imagination. Yea! I'm sure she just blind or an idiot… what a poor stupid girl…

"Quickly, hides! He's coming!" (moron)

I pretend I didn't hear that as well… as I walked along the hallway, I noticed some students were practically tried to hide themselves behind several flower vases. Did they somehow got hit in the head? They know I could see them, right? But still… I finally got rid of the nickname, Demonspawn… however, it was replaced with another terrible title. Not that I'm complaining about it since I struck fear towards 70% of the first and second-year students by threatening them to stop badmouthing me. I didn't expect them viewing me as a Demon King…. Sigh… are the academy filled with idiots?

"Oya, Boss Demon King?! Why are you prostrating on the floor like that?" (male tiger-kin)

"What do you want, Goard…?"

This elfien male tiger-kin was named Goard. A member of Kirara's magic research club and a second-year student. Though he was older than Reed, but this dude keeps calling me Boss since I gave them lectures about magic circuit. What makes matters worse is that he's one of the Academy's small-time delinquents. Yea, you heard me… though they did nothing bad aside painting graffiti behind the Academy main building but got caught and was punished for cleaning it up, skip class but always fails, and breaking some other light discipline rules. At first, it was just this guy who was following me around. But as time pass by, their numbers piled until they viewed me as the leader of their group. Though most of them had some good manners, all of them were a second-year students. I tried to make friends with them, but they strictly rejected the thought because of the unworthiness they felt to become my companion. Thus, they viewed me as their boss. Sad, huh…?

"Leader wants to see you. She said that it was about lunch, maybe? I forgot… hahhahahah….!" (Goard)

I swear, this dude…. That carefree attitude of him is quite irritating. But alas, he delivered me a good information just now. I stood up, then tap his shoulder.

"U-uh, Boss…? Why are you looking like that? It's scary…." (Goard)

"Tell me, my dear minion…? When did you meet with this 'Leader' of yours…?"

"I-I uh… just now, I think…? Didn't boss know that I had memories problem, don't you?" (Goard)

Yea… this dude needs some serious issue for his recollections. Though I felt bad about him, but still…

"Thank you… you are a lifesaver…."

(dash)

"U-uh, Boss…? Why are you running away…?!" (Goard)

Now, you may be thinking, why am I acting like this? The 'leader' Goard said just now was none other than the tiny bombshell, Kirara. There's a reason I don't want to meet with her today.

Backtrack two days ago, I almost died from food poisoning after consuming her weird dish. Thankfully, Sei brought me to Trysia before I passed the point of no return. Though I thought Kirara regretted her actions because of that, turns out, she becomes even more fired up about cooking for me more of those weird dishes of hers! I tried asking Sei to stop her, but the two became good friends all of a sudden and were planning for a surprise party for today. Fuck me for not knowing today is Reed's birthday. Thank God I eavesdropping when the two were talking yesterday, 'mistakenly'…

"I must get away from her…! I need to skip class for today and pretended to forgot about it!"

I know it's rude to reject someone's good intention, but I just don't want to experience that horrific experienced I felt when I almost died because of food poisoning! I'm sorry!!!

.........…>>

Phew… I got out from the main building and now heading towards my hiding spot near the woods. All is clear, and no one was around. Though I drew a lot of attention earlier because of my Olympic sprint, but all is well.

"wheeze…"

Man… I really need to train my stamina. I was almost out of breath because of my nonstop sprinting. I should get to my nap branch that always used.

I jump up to the tree that I used its branch as my napping place that I usually used. I made the branch to my comfort using magic alteration before. It's not that comfy, but it will do.

"Welp… I guess I nap till evening comes…"

(rustle…)

Huh…? One of the bushes not far from me made some weird movements. Is it a wild animal? There were little wild rabbits I saw around here before, but they only active during the evening. Now is still in the afternoon, they should be deep inside the woods.

(rustle…rustle)

"Nnn…" (faint moan)

Hmm!? Did that just sound like that "thing"? You know… the thing when the two do the thing? Did a couple do "that" here in the woods? I heard some rumours that a tiny portion of the more 'active' youth did those things back here because it was rarely monitored by the teachers. Should I…? no, no. that will be rude to do so… I'm not some kind of pervert that enjoys watching those things. Though I rather be the one to do so… ehe…

"Nnn… ahnn…" (sexy moan)

Kihiiii…!! Maybe I should take a peek…! just a sec. maybe if I go up a bit, I might caught a glance at the two in the action… but don't think that I'm some kind of pervert, you hear…!?

(rustle.. rustle…)

Of all the holy in this world, I wanted to give my thanks for my perverted intention that makes me wanted to peak on this magnificent scene… I press my hand in a prayer gesture to thank the Lord for giving me this eye as I watch a real live *yuri (*lesbian) action between two girls. Though the two still in their uniforms, but the way they interacted with each other is just lewd as fuck! A blonde girl with ringlets and the other, black long-haired girl, were on each other lips as they both caress their bodies in a sexy embrace. Isn't this too hot…? I felt like something is rising…!

"Nnn….. Ahnnn…!" (ringlet blondie)

Uh, what…? The black hair girl suddenly bit the blondie ringlets on her neck? How feisty! Wait…. ain't that black-haired girl somehow familiar?

"!?" (black-haired girl)

Oh shit! It's Saraha, the vampire girl and my classmate. Fuck! She suddenly looked alerted and scan the area with her red blood pupils. Man, she's creepy as hell! I shou-...

(swoosh… stab!)

"Fuck!"

Dammit! She saw me and throw her creepy fingernails towards where I am!

(slip)

Shit! I lost my balance and slip my footing on the branch because of my attempt to avoid her attac-...

(thump!)

"Ow, ow, ow….."

It was quite a fall from the branches, but thank goodness I landed with my ass. But it still painful as fuck!

(swoosh)

"I hate peeking perverts…." (Saraha)

Wai.. How did? Shit! She appeared before me suddenly, looking furious while surrounded by the ominous aura that's more creepy than her usual self. Not to mention her crimson blooded glowing pupils stared towards me as if she staring directly into my soul. Adding more to her frightening appearance were those blood dripping from her mouth that makes her somewhat like an evil vampire villainess in western movies! I should say something to break this creepy silence between us…

"B-bonjour….?"

That came out wrong! She seems even more furious than before after I said that nonsense just now! Crap, I need to run… fast!

"Tell me, fucker…. I'll give you three-second to state your final say before I decapitate your head. One…" (Saraha)

Fuck! Is she for real? I hate this 3 second rule that she always said before taking someone's life…!

"Two…" (Saraha)

Dammit! Just what can I think of in just a mere three-second!? Shit! I should never had fallen to my lust earlier. This Is a divine punishment! Cmon, cmon… think… Oh yes, that…!

"Th-" (Saraha)

"Wyvern's heart!"

.....(awkward silence)

Hiii…!!? Did that work? I grab my neck, and my head to confirm it's still attached with my body. Phew… I thought I was a goner-...

"Did you say, 'wyvern's heart'….?" (Saraha)

"Y-yea…"

I'm glad that I escape my death just now, but something tells me that this smells like trouble. I said wyvern's heart out of the blue because I just remember what I had heard from the players that went for her and gave those stuff as a gift to raise her friendship level with the character that they played with. Or is it…? I already forgot about though because I took little attention about it. Though she had the looks of a cool beauty, but she's just not my type. I think…

"I-I see… this is troubling… then… did you had it with you…?" (Saraha)

I could see her elongated razor-sharp nails slowly retracted as she went closed towards where I was. I quickly stood up, then thought of myself to create an escape route. Though she didn't show any signs of hostility, but that ominous aura still lingers around her and it really makes me feel something bad is coming.

"I don't hav-..."

(grab!)

Shit, I knew it! She suddenly grabs my collar and lifts me up about an inch or two from the ground. Just why did the people in this world have such monstrous strength, though they had a small body of stature? She did had about the same height as Reed was, but hell…! How did she manage to lift me up like this?

"Are you fucking with me?" (Saraha)

Hiiiiii…!! Her crimson bloodied pupils are seriously glowing menacingly as they stared deep inside my soul. Is this a trait that the vampires used to make their prey squeal? If so, she really had succeeded in doing that! I almost leak out a pee….

"No! I'm done nothing of sorts…! It's just that… can you please let me go…. first? Its… kinda hard… to breathe…"

(let go)

Gasp! Fuck… I almost suffocated to death! Thank God she let go of me before I blacked out…

"Now… speak." (Saraha)

"I know how to get a wyvern's heart, but I need time to procure it…"

"….." (Saraha)

"I'm serious! Just give m-..."

Fuck! Did she just bit my arm?

"What the hell is that for!? I said I'll-..."

"Don't be such a little bitch, Reed… its just a 'mark'…" (Saraha)

"By 'mark'… don't tell me…?"

"You are knowledgeable about our vampires curses, aren't cha? Then, before the day ends, do your best to 'procure' the wyvern's heart for me….. Tick, tock…" (Saraha)

Don't you giggle like that, you bitch! Dammit! Suddenly, a void appeared behind her as she slowly vanished after entering it. If I remember, that skill was called . It's kinda a short distance teleportation that only pure royal blood vampire can use. But that's not the point! She cast a curse called 'mark' on me that the vampire uses to make a thrall…! That bitch of a girl! Shit! What should I do now…!?

... ... ...… ...… ...… ...… ...… ...… ...…>>

...(somewhere near the girls' dormitory empty hallway. A black void suddenly appeared and a beauty with long dark hair came out of it)

(Saraha's POV)

Fufufufufu… didn't think that I'm in luck today~♪… my weeks of planning had finally going into fruition. Though I didn't get to quench my thirst for this month by failing to suck that girl's blood earlier, but I stumble into a goldmine with Reed~♪… Oh, how amusing…! Though… he did looked quite scared earlier when I ask (coerce) with him to procure me a wyvern's heart because he interrupted my meal, But… seeing him up closed like that just...

(touching herself in a lewd way)

nhhnn~…. I want to make him mine…! Father was a fool to break my engagement with him a year ago, after those rumors about him surfaced. But that pure energy… I almost lost control and tried to attack him earlier. But, thank goodness, I held myself back a little. I don't want him to hate me if I went too far teasing him. That just gonna make things harder when it's time... But then again, having him as my thrall wouldn't do me good, if i want his 'seeds'. But none the less… seeing that he looked reluctant to admit his pervert intentions by peeking at me when I was 'feeding', it's necessary to give him a little 'push'. It's not like I'm going to make him a thrall for real. I want him-

"Sara…! There you are…" (Eli)

"Oh…? hello Eli…"

My dear friend whom accepted me as who I am, Eli… she's been my friend long since before we enrolled in this academy and a closed novel enthusiast. How my friend is kind… she seems to notice my dirtied mouth and takes out a napkin from her pocket.

"Seeing these bloody lips, did you quench your thirst for this month?" (Eli)

She proceeds to wipe my mouth with the napkin on her hand. I really loved by this girl, aren't I. Unlike the fake ones back at home….

"I haven't… some 'idiot' interrupted my 'meal' time…"

"Huh…? Isn't that bad…? Then you should-" (Eli)

"No… I can't do that to you… you are my only friend, and I just cannot bring it to myself to do such things. But don't worry… the 'idiot' I mention will gave me a more appeasing sacrifice than a maiden's blood…"

"Huh…? Just who is this 'idiot'? But then, if you say so… there. clean as always… hmm?" (Eli)

She suddenly looked bewildered as she saw my face. She had such beautiful eyes…

"What is it?"

"you know, you looked really beautiful if you smile like that, Sara… hehe…" (Eli)

"Huh…? Didn't I always smile like you told me to…?"

"No… you usual 'smile' had a sinister look to them just like a certain someone whom I ha-… oh sorry! I got side track there… what I meant was, the smile you had right now was a thousand times better that the ones you usually tried to do. It's like the smile you gave me when you found out that we liked the same novel…" (Eli)

After saying those words, she wore an angelic smile on her lips. The smile that I couldn't ever have on this face of mine. But what she said really takes my attention just now. Just what kind of smile did she see on my lips earlier…? But alas, if that's what my dear friend said, I'll believe her…

"Eh…? W-that's the matter…?"

"Just let me do this for a moment…. You feel warm and calming…"

"Oh, you… hehehe…." (Eli)

I hug her tightly in my arms. Ever since I met her, my gloomy world that was shunned by the shadows of lies and hate had been more colorful and warm. My dear friend and my only friend who takes me for who I am… I treasure her sincerely. There's nothing in this world that ever treated me right as much as she does. And that scent of her as well… she smells soo good…. If only I'm born a male…

"Uh… w-we should do this when we are alone, Sara… its kinda awkward that we did this out in the open…" (Eli)

Oppss… I got excited a bit there… I slowly let go of my arms and apologized to her for my rude behavior.

"Its fine, it's fine… we can continue this late at night you know? Oh, right… we need to get to the training area for our practical lesson. We don't want to end up becoming like that hateful guy, can't we?" (Eli)

The hateful guy Eli was referring to is Reed… though he would not be attending for the practical lesson this afternoon because of his errand. But, I shouldn't say this to her… Eli grabs my hand and pulls me along with her while she cheerfully smiling and giggling. This day is a good day for me…..

(end of Saraha's POV)

... ... ...… ...… ... ...…

(after Saraha vanished into the portal)

"This day is the worst day of my life!!"

Fuck, fuck, fuck…! Where the hell should I get the wyvern's heart!? If this is still in the game, I can purchase them from the cash item shop. But since this is real life right now, how the fuck can I procure such a luxury item!?

"Damn that bitch and her curses… Fuck!"

This is why I hate her character! I read the review of those people who went for her in the game that said that she had a sadistic personality. But to think that she cast a curse towards me….

"Fuck!!"

.....(a crow passing above the woods)

Wait, wait… let's just calm down for a second… there's no use having a breakdown right now. Come on brain, think! I knew that some cash item like the Crystal Connector exists in this world, then the wyvern's heart will be too. But must I slay a wyvern to get it?

"But where the fuck can I find one in the middle of the capital!?"

But then again, could I do such thing….? Stupid! Dammit! The hell with all!

(rustle)

"Huh?"

"Uhm… why are you screa… eeekkk!! Demon King!" (blondie ringlets)

Oh. I forgot about her… wait, wait… she looks familiar… blonde hair with ringlets hairstyle on the edge, blue eyes like the sky… oh right! Seeing her frighten like that, I tried to give her a big smile to make her loosen herself. (smiling menacingly)

"S-s-s-stay away…!! Eeeekkk…! Eh…? Why did my upper uniform unbutton!?" (blondie ringlets)

Oh, crap… she suddenly frozen as she noticed her unbutton top uniform and her undergarment exposed. Hmm… a male and a female, in the middle of the woods (not quite)…. the male had clothes on but the female clothes were unbutton. Isn't this looks like…?

"Yu-yu-yu-yu-yu….!" (blondie ringlets)

(faint… thump)

Did she faint because of the overwhelming information that swirling inside her head? But alas. Now that I got to meet with this girl, I wouldn't be a thrall after all…

"I'm sorry for this. But I will need your help, Miss Claire…."

..... ..... ..... ...…. .... .... ...…. ...… ...

...…(in a certain room with little light illuminates the darkness, laid a tied blonde hair beauty with ringlets hairstyle, while a red hair boy with a devilish face, stared towards the girl who was unconscious, not long after, she's making tiny movement as she slowly wakes up)

(Claire's POV)

"!?"

Wha…!? Where am I? Why am I being tied up and gag!? And who the hell is…..

"Hmmmgggrrrr…!"

I-i-it's the Demon King! Ah, I remember now! I met this bastard earlier in the woods. But why I'm In the woods the first place? The last time I remember, I was getting ready to eat my meals in the cafeteria. But after that, everything went blank. Did the Demon King put something in my meals!? This bastard…! He just like my bastard brother! Damn all men! This is why I hate them all!

"Hoh… your awake…?" (Reed)

Hiii….!!! He's ten times scarier than that bastard man that I'm ashamed to call my brother! Is he going to rape me? No…! I don't want a man to take me first! I had tones of female lovers already! I despised men! Eeeekkkk!!! Don't touch me!

"Shit… that came out wrong… ahem! Please relax, I don't want to hurt you, alright…? I'm going to take that gag off now…" (Reed)

Lair! All men were a lying bastard that plays with people's lives! As if… eeekkkk!!! He's scary!!

(takes off the gag)

"Puahh… eeekkk….!! Stay away…! Please don't rape me! I-i-I'll do anything other than that!"

"Calm down… I won't do such things… I just-" (Reed)

"Calm down? Won't do such things? Why would I believe those words when you tied me up like this and brought me inside this suspicious room!?"

"Now, now… sigh… I'm telling you the truth, alright? I just need to ask a few questions, that's all. And if you give me the answer, I'll let you go, and we both go separate ways. How's that?" (Reed)

Is this guy for real? I heard the rumors that surround him and all of them were no good! But if he wanted to play like that, I'll pretend to comply with him while I tried to make my escape. I should shout my voice so people can hear me!

"Then… what do you…. HELP….!!!! HELLLPPP MEEE!!! THE DEMON KING WANTED TO RAPE MEEE!!!"

Damn! I got scared and let out my scream earlier than I should. How stupid of me!

"Ugh… my ears… calm down, alright…? I already cast a sound barrier upon this room so voices won't be heard outside. Even if you scream like a mad lady, no one will hear you. You'll only gonna hurt your voice cords." (Reed)

Hearing him said that, all of my hopes to escape wither as my body went numb… if he cast a sound barrier….

"S-s-s-so y-you w-w-want to r-rape m-m-m-me a-after a-all…."

"Sigh… didn't I said I won't do such a thing? Just what can I said that makes you… ahhh! Alright… if you want to get raped that much…" (Reed)

"Eeekkkkk….!!!!"

This is it… my virginity that I saved for will be taken by this bastard, just like what my bastard of a brother wanted to do to me… I run away from him to escape such tragedies but only fallen into another… how could this world be soo cruel for a woman like me? Just what I did to deserve this…?

"Please…! I'm begging you…! I just want to know where your brother's locations…! Please, Claire…! I have little time…! I really wanted to find your brother. It's a matter of life and death…!" (Reed)

Huh…? Why did he prostrate on the floor towards me? I thought he wanted to go his way with my body earlier... Is this guy serious? But why did he ask for my bastard of a brother whom I hated soo much?

"I-it's that the t-truth…?"

"Yes…! If you told me where he is, I'll let you go. I promise…!" (Reed)

"T-then… h-help me sit up first… m-my face is getting really numb from being pressed on the floor like this…"

He complies with my request and helps me sit up. I noticed his face was making an anxious expression just now. Hmm… now that I see him up close, he does had a good-looking face… no, no! What am I thinking!? This man is known as the Demon King that threatens the first and second-year students after beating the Master spear-man weeks ago. And now, he is my captor! But still… why did I find him rather attractive right now…?

"Is this alright?" (Reed)

"Y-yes… j-just why did you want to find that bastard? H-h's not someone that a student should approach for, you know? H-he had dealt with the underworld and a real bastard that lusted over me, his own sister for goodness sakes…."

Why am I suddenly being talkative to him like this? But I didn't find that uncomfortable…

"Thats the reason I wanted to find him. He had something I need, or rather… I hope that he 'had' the thing I need…" (Reed)

He seems to speak the truth… should I ask him more about that 'thing' he mentions? No… I shouldn't pry for that. It doesn't concern to me that much.

"If I tell you where you can find him, will you let me go? For real?"

"I swear on my life…" (Reed)

"T-then… you can find him in a bar tavern near the square of the market district. He always hangs around there in the afternoon… eh?"

I can feel the rope got loosened. I'm free? Did he let me go just like that? This guy, whom was called the Demon King? His actions baffled me. He really let me go…!

"Wait…!"

"Huh?" (Reed)

I called to him before he exited the room.

"A-are you really Reed, the guy that they called the Demon King…?"

"Oh, that… if you are asking me, I am Reed. though I don't know why everyone gave me that stupid nickname. Why you ask?" (Reed)

"I-its just that… you not like the rumors I heard about… h-hey, can we-"

Why am I feeling flowers on my chest? Is it this hot earlier…? And why did I feel like I wanted to talk to him more…?

"Sorry about tying you up and drag you inside this room, But I'm in a hurry. See you later…" (Reed)

Before I got to finish my sentence, he hastens himself out from the room.

"Ehhh…!?"

Why am I feeling a weird sensation suddenly!? My head and chest were burning right now… what is this…!? Did I fallen for him? A man!? My body reaction puzzled me and hurried out of the room with both of my palms on my face. Just what did that bastard cast me with making me feel this weird feeling? Just what...…..!?
