After the short strategy meeting, they all took a breather.
Seo : " Well, now that everything has been decided we need to do a small reality check."
He turned towards Tara.
Seo : " For what reason might you be helping us?
How are we supposed to trust you?
Won't you get in trouble if you were caught helping us escape?"
Tara sighed.
Tara : ' At least it seems one of them is capable of using his brain properly.
Nevertheless, the annoying Vibe and careless attitude is the same.'
Eliana : ' That's right.
I must have been unconsciously lowering my guard against her childlike appearance.
Senpai is a sucker for women so he was lax anyway. I am glad that Seo is with us.'
Tara : " They can not punish me.
I was just following the will and orders of our Lord.
Instead, I would be punished if I were to betray the Lord's side with the other Demons. My loyalty would be questioned."
Eliana : " I don't know how to put this but their sense of loyalty is a bit twisted."
Seo turned towards Hari.
Seo : " Nii- san~~you heard her... What should we do? Trust her or doubt her. "
Hari : " Why am I being forced to make the decision? "
Seo : " I will trust your instincts on this matter."
Hari sighed.
Hari : " Uh....well, it is a do-or-die situation. We don't have much of a choice. Let's go with a little more cautious attitude."
Seo : " Okay~~"
Eliana : " I am fine anyway..."
Tara : " You guys are strange.
I do not understand your actions one bit. You are fine with accepting your existence as Demons and also acknowledge the blood relation yet refuse to take the Throne. You lived a peaceful human life yet not one of you flinches at the sight of the Demons. Besides, death doesn't scare you and you are too frivolous for your own good.
If you were to become the Demon Lords all the riches and the power to dominate the world would be in your hands. However, you take it very lightly and throw it like a piece of Candy wrapping.
It feels like you are making fun of the people trying to desperately survive out there.
Moreover, such an uncanny resemblance between you siblings.
Strange, very strange."
There was silence after she asked the question.
They just sat around in a circle looking at the stars.
They were so dense as if a few 'milky way' (s) were packed in it.
The colours were vibrant.
There was pin-drop silence.
Nevertheless, it wasn't uncomfortable.
Things were too fast and too strange to be able to comprehend.
Now that the question was asked, the three siblings with long-forgotten relations mutually decided without words to ponder in silence.
They found it very surreal that they could understand each other by just meeting each other's eyes.
Eliana : ' Is this also our blood?'
About 10-15 minutes passed, Tara felt a little awkward in the silence.
Hari : ' Little miss seems to regret her question.'
" It's getting a little cold, I'll start a fire. "
Eliana : " I don't why we are feeling cold when there's an ongoing volcanic eruption within our sight."
Seo : " Because a snowstorm is closer to us than that."
Hari collected some dry branches and leaves.
He started rubbing a stick on a wooden plank vigorously.
Seo looked at him with narrowed eyes as he curled up his lips.
Seo : " Brother, what are you doing?"
Hari : " Huh?! I'm starting a fire! Although, I'm not sure if these branches would do."
Seo : " No...no... Why are you doing that?"
Hari : " The survival show I watched surely did it this way..."
Seo sighed and palmed his head.
Seo : " You're a Demon with those powers, can't you start a fire with those 'BOOM BOOM' things on a smaller scale."
Hari was surprised.
Hari : " Ooh! I can. Seo is really a genius."
Seo : " Nope, you're just too stupid."
Eliana : " But, he turns into a genius when he has to court women."
Seo : " A genius that is beyond my reach."
Hari : " You guys are in complete sync."
Eliana : " He ain't even denying that."
Seo : " I'm sure he's feeling proud somewhere deep down. "
Hari : " Oh wow! I'm so touched that my little wittle siblings know me so well."
He said in a sarcastic tone as he lit up the fire with the small sparks on the tip of his index finger.
Eliana : " Hmm...Siblings with you, huh?
I'm surprised at how easily I accepted it."
Seo : " It doesn't feel too different to me though."
Hari had a serious look on his face.
Hari : " I'm sorry but I'm going to change a lot of things."
Eliana and Seo were a little confused.
Eliana : " Um...what do you mean?"
Hari : " Ah, nothing. I just wanted to know if you guys are really okay with becoming Demons?"
Seo : ' Did he just dodge the question?'
Eliana : " Of course not, I am not fine with it.
Well that said there is nothing I can do but accept the reality if it's true."
Seo : " Agreed. If anything, I want to look for solutions if there are any side effects of becoming a Demon."
Hari sighed.
Hari : " My God. We got pretty strong-hearted people here if I am to put it nicely but if anything you should work on how lightly you're taking it."
Eliana : " Says the one who became a demon a year ago and still gosh skirt-chasing like nothing happened."
Hari flinched.
Seo : " Ah, that's right. Hyung-nim.
Did you notice any significant effects after you became a demon apart from the changes in your anatomy?"
Hari : " Well, of course! I don't need food and water as much as humans do. It saves a lot of bills and I spend it on my dates!"
He said with beaming eyes.
Seo simply gritted his teeth.
Seo : " I'm being serious here!"
