Chapter 4 - chapter 4

kuroshi : just to let you know that I had swapped the last chapter with this one so take a look at the previous chapter so you don't get lost with anything

Takeshi after sleeping wakes up in what seemed to be a dream.

- "where am I?." (takeshi)

Takeshi was floating through space, but he could breathe. What was happening

- "you came."

A voice echoes from far away but as if I was close too right beside him, takeshi didn't know where that voice was coming from.

The voice sounded frightening, she was trying to put fear

- "who are you?" (takeshi)

- "Wait, don't you know who I am?"

Suddenly the terrifying voice became an 8th grade girl with syndrome.

But soon afterward she tried to intimidate again.

- "How can you not know who I am?, I'm the most incredible in the world!"

- "I'm sorry but I don't really know who you are" (takeshi)

- "it doesn't matter I'll finish you right here for your arrogance, prepare yourself human"

- "if you finish me I still won't know who you are" (takeshi)

Takeshi couldn't see her but he knew he was making her angry.

-"very well, I will reveal myself to a mere human since you don't know who I am"

Suddenly a girl appears in the distance from where takeshi could see.

Slowly as she approached the takeshi noticed a few things about her.

She had short green hair with each eye one color, she had a red left eye and her right one was blue also had 2 horns and a tail. she wore an outfit that was a bit normal, in some parts of her body there were clothes she could almost see, only her stomach and arms were showing.

-"Hello human I'm hiimelia, the strongest demon in the whole world!"

-"(damn, the strongest entity in the world, but she's the same size as me)"(takeshi)

The more time passes, the less takeshi understands where it has gone.

-"eh, that sounds kind of weird but how old are you?" (takeshi)

-"ara-ara I see that a mere human is getting in love with seeing such a strong entity just by looking at it, well I guess I'll tell you since I'll finish you off soon. I'm currently 327 years old" (hiimelia)

-"what-what 327 years old!"(takeshi)

-"yes, in all 327 years of my life I dedicated myself to be the strongest in the world" (hiimelia)

-"ah-nice, congratulations on your achievement" (takeshi)

Takeshi was really surprised by this.

-"thank you, human, I see you have good sense to try to flatter me and stay alive but know that it's useless, many will try but they couldn't see the other day" (hiimelia)

-"but in the middle of one of them I was cursed and got caught up in my special ability" (hiimelia)

-"you look pretty weak so I have no problem talking to you" (hiimelia)

-"is it lonely here?"(takeshi)

-"which?" (hiimelia)

Takeshi worried about her state, even though it was a dream, he didn't want her to feel what he felt. Being alone, this was the one thing that takeshi never wanted to happen to anyone.

-"I asked if you feel lonely here"(takeshi)

-"I understand what you said!, I just... I don't need... for you to feel sorry for me" (hiimelia)

She says it very quietly like she's still trying to hide it.

-"you know... I don't mind spending time here with you"(takeshi)

Takeshi doesn't want hiimelia to get worse. He would do what was within his power.

-"Hmm...? I said I don't need your help!, I'm not lonely!, I'm really happy!, I'm so happy that I managed to become the strongest in the world!" (hiimelia)

Takeshi tries to get closer.

-"wh-what are you doing, don't get close, otherwise I'll kill you" (hiimelia)

-"I don't care, you spent so much time alone here, of course it was lonely" (takeshi)

Hiimelia freezes. Like a mere human that she'd said from the start would kill him was so calm and gentle with her. She didn't know what to do, she didn't know what to feel. She was just standing there as the takeshi approached.

After a while. Takeshi catches up with hiimelia and gives her a hug. A hug that made hiimelia cry.

-"-under-, -under- why are you caring about me -snif- ?, aren't you afraid of the dragon that destroyed nations?" (hiimelia)

-"no... I'm not afraid of whoever it is, if you need help I'll help you as far as I can. You looked sad and I wanted to help" (takeshi)

-"heh, you are a very strange human" (hiimelia)

-"to get to know each other better, I'm takeshi kuro nice to meet you hiimelia"(takeshi)

Hiimelia embraces takeshi back. The two just stand there hugging each other without saying anything to each other for a while.

-"you know what... You can stay here to keep me company, I don't care if you don't mind" (hiimelia)

-"I have a place I belong, if it's not a nuisance I could go back to my world?" (takeshi)

-"ah, no problem, humans can't stay here very long" (hiimelia)

When hiimelia says this takeshi starts to disappear. The feeling is strange, it was as if he was slowly falling asleep.

-"like now, you exceeded the daily limit in dreamland, well, see you later" (hiimelia)

Hiimelia says this as she waves to takeshi. Takeshi just waves back.

Takeshi wakes up in his bed with a knock on his door, For some reason he still felt tired from the dream he had yesterday. He gets up from his bed and goes to the door.

-"who is it?"(takeshi)

-"Sir, it's me alfred I just came by to say that breakfast is ready" (alfred)

-"I'm already going"(takeshi)

Takeshi fixed his hair, whenever he slept his hair became a mess. So after that he went to the room where a woman served him. Pieces of her clothing were torn, she looked like she was a slave. The village had a pretty rigid democracy.

Takeshi took a look at what was for breakfast.

Breakfast and rice, fish and a kind of soup he has never seen before. Takeshi had a slight suspicion on what this fish might be and decided to ask.

-"what kind of soup is this, I've never seen it before" (takeshi)

After finishing breakfast, takeshi says goodbye and leaves the village chief's house. As he went to the gate he saw lulu in the distance "helping" with the tomato planting. He decided to talk to lulu for the last time.

-"ooi lulu" (takeshi)

-"Aaah!" (lulu)

Lulu is startled by takeshi that came out from behind her. But it quickly returns to normal after a short while.

-"ah hello takeshi what do you want with me? (lulu)

She says this in a kind way.

-"I just wanted to let you know that I will leave the village and head to the city that is west of here" (takeshi)

-"when are you leaving?"(lulu)

-"right now"(takeshi)

-"why do you need to leave the village?" (lulu)

-"I need to get there to register again and earn some money" (takeshi)

-"Do you intend to come back someday?"(lulu)

-"look... I can visit here but I don't intend to stay there too long, there are other villages and cities that I need to get to do some things" (takeshi)

-"um, all right then" (lulu)

Lulu says this very sad that takeshi would leave the village.

-"don't worry I'll come back to visit you" (takeshi)

Takeshi pats lulu on the head so she doesn't worry so much about him. Lulu's reaction is that she starts to get embarrassed while blushing at the same time.

-"well I need to go bye"(takeshi)

Takeshi starts walking towards the gate again so he can head towards the city to the west.
