(Kamako's View)
"Kamako, it's been awhile since I've seen one of your family members." Says a figure as it comes out from behind the crowd.
"Who the hell are you?!?!" I question with a confused tone while looking towards the figure.
"To think you're the son of Renja Hirigia, how pathetic this for his son to fail today." Responds the figure before stopping a few meters ahead of the order.
I waited a moment but then before my eyes he took off his hood and revealed himself to me.
"Sigh. My name is Rin." Says the demon lord after letting out a sigh.
Before me was the man I'm supposed to stop and keep from destroying the world as we know it but he doesn't look as I'd expect.
A man with bright red hair, silver colored eyes, and the dark cloak of which he wore. All of this seemed quite strange to me but maybe it was all planned after all.
"It's best we go Kamako. I don't know if it's smart to fight this many demons and the lord himself." Says Zara with a cautious tone.
Shit she might be right but I don't want to run like a coward either or it really does make me look bad. Is this really what my family would want from me?
Fwoosh! Portals opened behind me and I couldn't tell who it was but it didn't really tell me if it was friends or foes. With the way everything was going I wouldn't be surprised if it was more demons coming to kill me.
"Kamako get back!" Shouts Leo in the distance.
Looking back behind me I realized that everyone was here with me now. What was going on now?
Irie and Rina seemed to be waiting together in the distance while the others charged ahead towards me. What was about to happen with everyone that was here?
"Alright!" I shout back as I turn around and begin to dash towards them.
Of course it didn't surprise me that the demon lord himself would want me dead this bad but shit this was definitely smart. I wouldn't have expected this to be planned out this far ahead.
I doubt he plans to let me leave here either so I need to hurry.
As I'm running I noticed that Irie and Rina are also heading towards me as well so something is obviously planned. Leo must've devised a plan to get me out of here in one peace.
"Leo how brave of you to return to fight once again!" Shouts Rin in the distance.
"Good luck Kamako." Says Leo while running psst me.
Briefly turning my head I noticed the order running towards Leo and his group of hunters, but the only one I noticed that wasn't there was Kaede.
She was behind Rina and Irie, how the hell didn't I notice that?
Before me they opened some portal and that was all I needed to see to realize what was about to happen. Leo was risking a lot just to get me out of here, this was probably the last time I'd see him alive.
Damn it Leo why did you make this choice for me, I'd rather have fought this battle myself instead of making you guys fight the demon lord by yourselves.
"Kamako it's for the best. We need to get stronger so we can take him down." Says Zara while listening to my thoughts.
"You're right. But I still feel bad leaving them behind." I respond before going through the portal.
Fwooosh!!!!!! Everything around me began to change once more, almost looking exactly like the world Rina came from. Was this her world that we had returned to once again?
Upon entering I collapsed onto the floor and began to get up slowly. This was the last place I was in before we left but something felt different this time.
Looking down I watched for a moment as my scales began to disappear until I was back in my normal clothes.
"Kamako, Kamako, are you alright?" Asks Rina as she crouched in front of me.
"Yeah I'm alright." I respond while looking up at Rina.
Everything seemed okay now for the most part but was I still the same me as before? Not the young kid that was in this world last time.
"Kamako!!!" Screamed Irie with a relieved tone as she hugged me.
"Yes it's me Irie." I say calmly while hugging her back.
It seems I did look like my normal self since nobody was questioning me about my appearance. The gauntlet also still seemed to be here so I wonder if it's a permanent addition to my body now.
After a bit everything seemed to settle down and then I realized even Kaede was here but was sitting alone in the room. We were inside the building that Rina usually had us rest in before resuming training.
I walked over to Kaede and crouched down a little bit.
"Hey you okay?" I ask while realizing how beautiful her eyes are.
Damn I didn't really look too much the first time I was around her but now I see how beautiful her eyes really are.
"Yeah I'm okay. And you're staring at me weird." Responds Kaede with an awkward tone.
She looked at me weird for a moment and then I decided to speak once more, can't have her thinking I'm a weirdo right?
"I just thought you had beautiful eyes is all." I say while standing back up.
I saw her blush briefly before she stood up herself and walked past me. I must've embarrassed her a bit but that's okay for now.
At least I made sure she was okay, that's all that matters. I've got a lot to figure out here, especially why we came back to this world in the first place.
If we're even here for real, this is all still weird to me. Magic, power, and such are all just really confusing sometimes so I'll figure this out somehow.
