A day or two passed and Irie explained what she could to Rina but I still don't regret bringing her back with me here. To me all of it seemed fine to do in the first place.
It felt great to be back in the normal world but now I could only wonder what would be next on the agenda.
For now I was sitting in my room from before where Kaede was staying but no one else was in here but me at the moment. It felt kind of odd at first but then that changed.
Rina walked into my room and she had a different look in her eyes this time around. Not like the other world.
"What's up Rina?" I ask while giving my attention to her.
"Just nice to know your not a kid here." She answers while giving a smile towards me.
After that she walked over to my bed and sat next to me, she really was like a whole different person but I wasn't going to complain. It was quite nice in my opinion.
"Hey they told me you're going to save this world from this cruel demon lord." Says Rina as she sits her hand on my leg.
"Yeah I am or well I'll do my best." I reply while trying to stay cool.
At that moment Rina leaned in and kissed me, something I wasn't expecting at this moment in time. The nice touch of her soft lips pressed against mine and honestly I haven't felt something like this in a long time.
I gave in too and kissed her back, both our lips locked together, kissing a woman like this was amazing.
It was all fast though, I wish it didn't end so soon.
"S-Sorry I just needed to make sure this was real." Says Rina as she began to blush.
"It's okay. I didn't mind one bit." I reply while giving her a smile.
She got up after that and left my room but honestly I didn't mind, it gave me time to process everything.
Did that really just happen though? A damn kiss from a beautiful woman like that with all the best features... I mean it seems all the women here are amazing but damn I'm a lucky guy.
That was all just to prove everything was real? Shit I want more of that but wait Kamako calm down.
Sometimes I let this feeling take over without even realizing it, calm. I'm alright now but that is something that never use to be such a problem for me till now.
"Yo Kamako got a minute?" Asked Leo as he peeked in.
"Of course." I respond while leaving my train of thought.
Leo then came into my room and took a seat at one of the chairs that were in the room.
"How are you feeling?" He asked with a curious tone.
"I'm alright just adjusting once more I suppose." I responded with an honest response.
"That's good. Not everyone comes back the same person." Says Leo.
It made a lot of sense he'd say that, I'm sure I'm not the first one to go to such a world but I wonder who else did? Previous prophets maybe?
"Yeah I'm still the same old me for the most part." I reply while sitting back against the wall.
"Well I just wanted to check up on you. There will be something to do tomorrow. A demon for you to hunt." Says Leo before getting up and leaving.
"Alright." I respond.
I think this magic I learned a bit about in the other world will serve to help me fight these demons here. Regardless of practicing it should still come in handy.
That's another reason it was good to bring Rina, she helped me practice with my magic so she'd be the most helpful in that manner I suppose.
It'll be an adjustment for her but it probably helps that she still basically knows me and that I'm not just going to disappear on her. I know we didn't have that long together before this all happened but it should still be helpful.
But I'm curious why Irie hasn't come to see me by herself yet, maybe that'll be later on.
I laid back and began to think about everything all at once.
What happens to my parents of that world now that I'm gone though? Do they suspect I'm still training and wait for the day I return?
If not I'd feel bad knowing they'll never see me again but they weren't my true parents to begin with. Sad as it may be I'm still positive that this life is my only life.
There's a lot that I've been through lately and I can't say I'm entirely happy about it all just yet but I know that it's better.
My old job, my old life, was all so awful. I was going nowhere and now I was given a purpose to do something greater. Fighting these demons and eventually one day the great demon lord himself.
This was something that at least I could be proud of in my life. To say I accomplished something in life, saved the world from destruction.
Before I knew it I had drifted off for a few hours.
"Hey." Says Irie in a soft voice.
"Oh I didn't even know you were there." I reply while slowly waking up.
It was quite dark in this room but the feeling of Irie being next to me again was comforting. This is how it was in the start so it wasn't too bad.
"I was worried you'd never come back." Says Irie with a sad tone.
"It's okay Irie I'm here now." I reply while holding her close.
The value of people like Irie is something I never use to really have after I started my job. No after I left school.
Family wasn't around, friends weren't really friends, I had no one. My life was a shit hole that I'm surprised I didn't take myself out of.
A purpose was given to me to keep on going. This was it after all.
I held Irie and we both ended up falling asleep the rest of what seemed to be the night.
Who knows what the hunt will contain in the morning. I will do better this time around.
