(Rina Pov)
Once the door stops moving, I turn off [Sound Dampening] and look around the room and see what looks to be a kid around the same age as me.
"Hey, you guys are finally here."(Ella)
Is that the demon king? She doesn't look all that scary.
"Yes, I am the demon king."(Ella)
Can she read my mind?!
"No, I can't read your mind."(Ella)
She is definitely reading my mind.
"I'm not reading your mind. It's just that it's very easy to tell what you're thinking just looking at your face."(Ella)
Is my face really that easy to read!?
"Yes, yes, it is."(Ella)
"You are definitely reading my mind and I'm not taking any other answer."(Rina)
"Sure, whatever you say. But I really can't read minds."(Ella)
"*Glare* Sure you can't."(Rina)
"Whatever. Now, why I wanted to talk. Hmm, let's start with that you should not have the collar removed by someone, but should destroy it yourself."(Ella)
"And why should I do that?"(Rina)
"Ask him not me. That's just what he told me. I don't actually know why."(Ella)
"What is she planning? Fine. I guess I can wait for a little longer. Is there anything else or can I leave now."(Rina)
"Come here for a minute."(Ella)
"*Glare* And why should I do that?"(Rina)
"Oh, come on it's not like I'll bite."(Ella)
"You know that really doesn't make me want to come any closer."(Rina)
"I promise I won't hurt you."(Ella)
"Fine, but I'm running the minute you do something funny."(Rina)
*Step Step*
I feel like I just stepped right into a trap.
"Can you transform?"(Ella)
"*Glare* Why do you want me to transform?"(Rina)
"Oh, come on it's not like you'll be in any more danger than in your current form."(Ella)
She has a point, but I can't shake off this feeling that if I do, I'm doomed. Well, it's not like I can do much against her anyway. If she wanted me dead, she would have killed me by now.
"Fine, but I'll bite if you do anything weird got it?!"(Rina)
"Sure. You can if you want."(Ella)
*Flash*
"You really are cute in both forms."(Ella)
W-Wait why is she getting up?! Why is she coming closer?! I ne-
"Too late you were doomed the minute you got close. So, just accept your fate."(Ella)
Oh god what is she going to do to-
*Pomph*
Huh is that it? She i- oh god that feels great.
*Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish*
"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist. No fluff has ever resisted against my petting."(Ella)
Ooh right there. Yes! Aaahh!
*Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish*
[Warning user's mental state is going awry holy skill [Patience] is activating. Cancel?]
Huh? Yeah, cancel. This is too good to not feel. Aaahh!
[Skill activation canceled]
I think I'll take a nap.
*Swish Swish Swish Swish*
--------------------------------------------------------------(Ella POV)
And she passed out. She seemed to like it a lot. So, I'm going to continue.
She really does have some nice fur though. Her fur is in my top three nicest fur ever. But why do I feel like I forgot to tell her something? Eh, It's probably not that important.
"Uh is she ok?"(Azura)
Right, there were others in here. Got a little too engrossed in this.
"Her? Yeah she's fine. She just passed out. She'll probably wake up in a little while."(Ella)
"*Glare* Did you do something to her?!"(Azua)
"Woah there slow your roll and stop emitting all that killing intent you might wake her."(Ella)
*Whimper*
"[Mana Barrier] much better. (Glare) Now stop emitting the killing intent or I'll show you what real killing intent feels like." (Ella)
I then released a bit of my own killing intent. And everyone except Rina stiffened up at it.
"Now, that you have stopped. All I did was pet her. She chose to sleep. I didn't make her sleep. So, no need for the aggression."(Ella)
"Fine.!"(Azura)
"Good. Now, do you want to go back to your house or stay here?"(Ella)
"(Confused)What?"(Azura)
"You heard me. Do you want to stay here or go back to your house?"(Ella)
"So, I can stay here or go back to my place."(Azura)
"(Annoyed) Yes. That is what I just said."(Ella)
"*Glare* What's the catch?"(Azura)
"Haa, look just answer the question before I just throw you out.!"(Ella)
"I guess I'll go home. What about her?"(Azura)
"She's staying here. It's not like she has anywhere else to go."(Ella)
"I guess you're right. I'll see her at the guild. Tell her I said bye and that I'll see her at the guild. Also make sure she eats. From what she has said she isn't eating much."(Azura)
"Sure."(Ella)
Heh, I thought she would stay. But at least she cares about her and her health. Still, I keep getting this feeling I'm forgetting something. *Shrug* Eh, it probably isn't that important. I guess I'll head to my room and let her sleep on a bed.
--------------------------------------------------------------(6 hours later)
(Rina POV)
Mmm, what's this soft feeling under me? It feels so nice and comfortable. I don't want to get up.
"You up?"(Ella)
Hm? Who's talking to me? Eh, doesn't matter I'm going back to sleep.
"I know you're awake. Get up, you need to eat."(Ella)
Mmm, I don't want toooo.!
"Get up before I drop water on you."(Ella)
Huh? What was that last part?
"Alright you asked for it."(Ella)
*Splash*
"Huh!? What's going on!?"(Rina)
I looked around in a panic but the only person there was the demon king.
"*Glare* What are you planning?"(Rina)
"You know I can't understand you right?"(Ella)
"Huh? Why not?"(Rina)
{Rina, you're in your normal form not human form.}
Oh. Right, I was- wait wh- o god why did I let her do that!? That's so embarrassing! I just want to hide in a hole and disappear!
*Rustle*
But it felt so good I just couldn't help myself. It's like she knew exactly where to scratch and rub. Gaa! Stop thinking these weird thoughts.
"Are you changing into human form or what?"(Ella)
Just as I was thinking those weird thoughts the demon king pulled me from my thoughts by speaking. Hey Snow, should I turn human?
{I mean I suggest it, so you talk to each other.}
Ffiiinnee.!
*Flash*
"(Annoyed) What do you want.?"(Rina)
"No need to get snarky. I was just getting you up so you could eat. I mean it's been what? 5-6 hours now? You need to at least eat something."(Ella)
"Hmph. That's funny coming from the person who made me sleepy."(Rina)
"You liked it didn't you? I mean yo-"(Ella)
*Blush*
"(Embarrassed) Stooop!! Don't remind me any more of what happened. It's so shameful for me. But it did feel nice."(Rina)
*Smirk*
"I can tell. I mean your tail has been waging ever since we started talking about it."(Ella)
"(Even more embarrassed) Sh-Shut up. So, what if I may or may not have liked it. Hmph."(Rina)
"Haha! Seems like you don't show your real feeling out in the open very often."(Ella)
"Can we please talk about something else!!??"(Rina)
"Sure. Now back to why I woke you up. You need to eat. You can go back to sleep after that."(Ella')
"Ok. But what am I even going to eat?
*Sniff Sniff*
"There isn't anything that smells like food here."(Rina)
"Well, yeah, this is a place to sleep not eat. I'll take you to the dining room and there is where we'll eat."(Ella)
"*Head tilt* You're eating with me?"(Rina)
"Yeh, I am feeling a little hungry myself. So, I'll eat with you. Want any type of food in particular?"(Ella)
"Meat please!"(Rina)
*Swish Swish Swish*
"Then I guess it'll be meat dishes for dinner. Let's go."(Ella)
--------------------------------------------------------------(10 minutes later)
*step step step*
This silence is getting a little uncomfortable. Let's just start a conversation.
"So, uh what should I call you?"(Rina)
"Ella is fine."(Ella)
"(Nervous) Really? I mean you are the ruler of this place. So, should I really just call you that?"(Rina)
"Sure, it's not like anyone has the right to judge what I say. That is if they don't wish to lose their life."(Ella)
Note to self don't get on her bad side.
"You just thought something rude, didn't you?"(Ella)
"How di- I mean nooo.(Sweat)"(Rina)
"*Smile* Rina. You wouldn't think something rude about me now would you.?"(Ella)
"(Nervous) E-Ella, your eyes. Th-They don't look happy."(Rina)
"Oh, whatever do you mean. I am clearly NOT mad."(Ella)
"Are you sure? Because you look pretty mad right now."(Rina)
*Thump*
"Oooowwww!(Teary Eyed) That hurts a lot."(Rina)
"Hmph. That's what you get for not reading the room."(Ella)
"*Rub* *Sniffle* It's going to leave a bump later."(Rina)
"And we're here. Wait, a second, I have to do something so don't leave from this spot or I'll do it again.!"(Ella)
"Okay."(Rina)
"Good."(Ella)
*step step step step*
And she's gone. But now my head hurts. (Rina)
{Why not put some ice on it?} (Snow)
I guess I could try, but how am I going to keep the ice on my head? (Rina)
{I don't know. Maybe some kind of ice string made from ice?} (Snow)
I guess I could try but would it get too cold for me? (Rina)
{Rina, our race thrives in the cold. I mean we literally have [Cold Immunity]. So, you'll be fine.} (Snow)
Ok, I guess I'll try. (Rina)
Hmm, now how to do it. Oh, just popped into my head like usual. I don't think I'll ever get used to it though. Well, let's start then. First [Ice magic: Ice Creation]
*Flash plop*
Next [Ice magic: Ice manipulation]
*Flash*
I think this should be good. Nothing cool or anything just ice with a string to tie on your head. Well, let's try it on.
*Wince*
Ouch. That hurt. But at least it's soothing the pain from the bump.
"I'm back.! So, what wer- what's with the ice?"(Ella)
"(Dead Pan) It's for the bump you oh so graciously gave."(Rina)
"Right. Well let's head in. It'll be a few minutes before dinner is served."(Ella)
"(Annoyed) Sure."(Rina)
