"I'm sorry... Because of me you get hurt..." [Diana]
"Meow..." [Fie]
"Fie said he's sorry too, if only he'd chew him up harder" [Diana]
"It's okay, little girl..."
"Thanks for taking us straight to the hospital..."
And the two of them collapsed just as they were reassuring me. Healing magic is hard, and I couldn't do much. The other passersby behind them just screamed and panicked and didn't know what to do. I'm the same as them, so the only thing on my mind at that time was to bring them right here. Of course, the doctor, nurses and healers are surprised when I barge in and tell them that two people have been stabbed, as they quickly attend to them. It's hectic as the doctors, nurses and healers scream at the top of their lungs to make sure the two of them survive.
"Great job getting them here as fast as you can"
"But it's because of me that they get stabbed..." [Diana]
"Well... that may be true, and that may be false, who am I to say, but that doesn't change the fact that you brought them here as fast as you could, greatly helping them to have a chance to survive".
"You have done what you can do, leave the rest to us.
"You can also go to church and pray for them. That will certainly help"
"Right..." [Diana]
When I leave the hospital, I walk around aimlessly. It's because of me that the two I believe in got stabbed, so I feel a little depressed. I walk around just looking for something to distract me, but I couldn't find anything until
"Is something bothering you, sweetheart?" [Eisheth]
"You look sad..."
"Nar's little sister, don't be sad. If you're sad, we'll be sad too"
"I am... I guess you heard about what happened" [Diana]
"True. This is the same as the madman's attack on the demon clan, only this time, the preparer is from the beast race and the victim is a human. It still doesn't change the fact that what they're doing is stupid." [Eisheth]
The succubus surround me and try to cheer me up. They give me their popcorn and candy that they're holding to cheer me up. It's not just the food that lifts my spirits, it's their kindness. They look worried when they see that I am sad. It's kind of them, even though I'm just a little sister of their friend and I haven't really greet them properly yet
"Miss Eisheth... Why do they want to hurt others? Can't they be like what Aunt Amleth wanted? To live together and help each other? They reminded me of people from my village... I still can't understand them, nor can I understand the two groups..." [Diana]
"Hmmm... To be honest, even I can't understand them" [Eisheth].
"Even you?" [Diana]
That's surprising. I thought Miss Eisheth would give me an answer, but I'm really surprised that someone as mature-looking as her couldn't give me the answer.
"We, the succubus, are quite unique, you see. We are known as the love demon because we hold dear what we love to the point of obsession and we know very well not to steal or hurt others because just like how we don't want our precious love to be hurt, we also don't want to inflict it on others, so that's why I didn't understand them. I may be a little different from other succubi, but believe me, we share the same feelings" [Eisheth].
As she said that, she rubbed my head a few times, and it really made me feel happy. Why couldn't they be nice like her? Why couldn't everyone be nice to each other? Was it because they wanted power? Money? Maybe there's something they don't have that's why they did it...
"Thinking about it makes me hungry... Would you like to eat with me? I'm sure Nar and the others would be happy to see you" [Diana].
"We want to! We do!"
"Count us in!"
"No need... How about I treat you all to dinner" [Eisheth].
"Really! Even Fie!?" [Diana]
"Even your elemental cat" [Eisheth]
And we all choose a restaurant that has little to no customers so we can get our food fast! Their menu looks delicious! As I have difficulty choosing what to order, the other succubi help me by suggesting something adult, but Miss Eisheth scolds them, reminding them that I am still a human child. Strange. What did they want me to eat?
"This still doesn't count as the picnic we want! So get ready for a happier picnic!"
"Can I bring my friends, too?" [Diana]
"The more the merrier!"
"Might as well have a cultural festival from demon to all!"
"Sounds fun! I wanted to join!" [Diana]
"Come on Miss Eisheth, Diana said it would be fun! I'm sure it will be fun."
"Fufu... I'll think about it" [Eisheth].
"Yay!" [Diana]
"You're the best!"
"That's why all of us demons love and trust you!"
As soon as we start to eat, an impish-looking demon greets Miss Eisheth and tells her something, and she immediately turns around and asks me
"Excuse me, do you know anything about the Dragonewt tribe that the adventurer Savel tried to bring to Estel?" [Eisheth]
"I do. They said they needed some time to settle in, and Mr. Savel and Mr. Asterion agreed. Did something happen to them?" [Diana]
"What is your impression of the tribe?" [Eisheth]
"Well, they're good people. Mr. Savel and Mr. Asterion trusted them completely." [Diana]
"Then why did they..." [Eisheth]
"What's wrong? What happened?" [Diana]
"Well..." [Eisheth]
