Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

'Ah, finally! A village!'

'I wonder if that demon gaved me some money, hmm, lets see'

Satoru searchs every pocket he has, but finds only an empty pouch

'Heh? An empty pouch?? Damn it!'

I wonder how I can talk to him'

Satory takes out his gun and tries to think about Beelzebub

After a few minutes he heard a voice.

'What do you want?' says the bored demon

'You threw me in this world without any money and im starving, cant you do something to fill this pouch?'

'Oh, sorry, I forgot about that small detail.

Here you go'

Suddenly a black and red flame appears around Satoru hunting him

'What the fuck was that, what did you do?'

'You wanted money, right? Check the pouch you idiot'

Satoru checks the pouch and finds 50 copper coins and 10 silver coins

'Huh, burned me just to give me this small amount of money?' madly yelled Satoru

'Huh, you aren't smart, at least with the gun's life-steal you will have enough time to get smarter. That amound is enough to keep you alive in a village like this'

'Huh, really? Thanks, sorry for yelling at you.'

said Satoru embarrassed

'Is alright, at least you are grateful. See ya later I got work to do

'Oh yes, I remember, I should check how much years I gained from killing that boar, that was the reason i chosed it in the first place'

Satoru checks the pistol and it has a number written on it

'2? I guess thats the boar's remaining life'

Suddenly, a bright light blinds Satoru's eyes for a minute

'Hey, sun, stop it, no more games' said Satoru to the sun

This time, the sun had nothing to do with Satoru

'From now on, you have 2 more years to live, killing an animal or human will grant you their life' said a unknown voice

The voice stopped and the blindness was no more.

'Again? Who was tha-'

Suddenly Satoru felt down, his vision was fading, something happened but he was unable to do anything

Satoru fainted.

A few days passed and Satoru slowly wakes up.

'What happened? Where I am? Is this a hospital?'

Satoru is fully awake. He tries to stand up, but he doesn't have enough strength

Some time passes, he thinks about what happened but he couldn't find an answer

He tries to stand up again. He regained his strength

Satoru stands up amd slowly starts to walk out of the hospital

Before touching the door's handle, someone yells at him

'Get back in the bed, you are not healthy enough!'

Satoru turns around and sees a man with dog ears and claws standing on a chair

'What? Are you talking with?'

'You are the only one here, with who do you think im talking?'

Satoru takes a better look at the place, he is in a small house, not in a hospital

'Huh, you are right. Is this your house?'

'Yes'

'Thanks for helping me'

'You got some questions to answer, kid'

'He? Im not a kid, im 25 years old. Im an adult'

'Haha, maybe you are an adult in the human continent, but here you are still a kid'

'What? Then how old are you?

'Im 74'

'What? You are really old. But you look like 40'

We live 2 times more than humans, didn't you knew? Jeez, where do you come from?

'Ehh, from the human continent, but no one told me that' said Satoru with a concerning voice
