Chapter 31 - T City: Challenge

"Why should I bring my physical body when I am just here to talk with you?"

"Talk? You think you are worthy of talking to—"

"I'll kill your medium."

I really want to rile her up, so I'll kill her medium either way.

"I will talk to you, but first, bring your body here."

Again the same thing? It is not as if bringing my physical body would reveal my identity; instead, I can manipulate my aura, making it impossible for you to find me in the demon realm.

The only issue is her worshipers in the human realm. I watched something on TV about a group of humans who worship the demon Litith, and if they truly do, she should be able to communicate with them.

If she sees the human I possessed and orders them to pursue me, it will be a problem for me, and I'll be forced to eliminate all of her supporters.

It appears that waiting for her to listen to me will not get us anywhere.

"I've come here to challenge you,"

"Haha, you look someone from—"

I ignored her words and carried on.

"I prefer not to engage in fights where my opponent is still alive, so how about you enter the human realm yourself?"

Wow, she looks angry. This is what is funny about my kind: you just hurt their pride, and they will not forget you until they find and kill you.

"You can't even face me in this form—"

"Hehe, don't tell me you are worried about losing your existence."

Looks like my work is almost done here.

She stood up from the floor, looking enraged as if she were about to destroy the world. Her aura became more unstable, making me feel a bit sorry for the humans who were caught in it.

"You first came here like a coward, and now you have the audacity to look down on me. Do you really think you'll be able to accomplish anything with your cheap puppet abilities?"

"Who said my power was to make shadow puppets?"

"Aren't you confident? I promise I'll give you the worst possible death."

"Hahaha, whatever you say, my Lord."

She put her face close to mine and fixed her intense black eyes on me.

"When I meet you, the first thing I am going to do is rip off your tongue."

Those teeth look really sharp.

"Good luck."

Since my work was done here, I considered leaving after getting up from the floor and moving a little distance away from her, but then I recalled something she had said to me.

"You mentioned something about me not having any pride as a demon, right? Well, have you ever been summoned by a crazy human woman who had enslaved you?

"What? You were enslaved by a mere human."

"I did."

"And you still live. You don't deserve to be called a demon. Do not worry, you will not be here when we meet again."

"So you didn't. That explains why you keep blabbing about demonic pride. Also,"

Hehe, it's time to give her a farewell present. How about I give her one of the lovely phrases I picked up from Myoga?

I made a fist and lifted my middle finger as I moved my arm in her direction.

"Kiss my a**"

"Huh? Kss mi ss?"

This really feels great.

"Nothing, just a saying shared by humans before they part ways."

"..."

"Time to kill your medium."

When demons take over a human while still in the demon realm, they must keep their medium in good condition or their connection to the human realm will be severed.

It is comparable to an electricity-powered TV in that it can display various channels when there is electricity present, but if the TV is broken, no matter how much electricity reaches it, it will remain blank.

Additionallh, the woman's body is only functioning as an object that Lilith has taken control of; thus, she lacks her ability to regenerate, in contrast to my possession where my soul is inside the body that I possess.

I instructed her medium to walk to the balcony.

Whenever I take over someone's shadow, their physical body becomes my puppet; so it's time to send her to demon realm.

"Hahahahaha, don't run away when I come here myself."

Whoa, this is really high.

After that, she scaled the balcony railing and leaped from it. Lilith's aura vanished, and after taking care of the body, I left, releasing her shadow.

The next day, dad came to pick me up from the hospital in the morning, and we both returned home.

The atmosphere in the house was strange, but everything remained the same and I returned to my daily routine.

The news channels were discussing the number of suicides that occurred on and near the building where Lilith was present, as well as the disappearance of a woman suspected of being taken over by the demon.

There were many things I needed to learn about my surroundings as well as this new language, so I continued to observe others in order to learn new things. Additionally, I discovered a TV channel that provided instruction on writing this language.

few days passed since the incident occurred in the bakery. It was morning, Mom and Dad had left for work, and I was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV.

Today, the man on television was giving instructions on how to write sentences in this language.

"Listen, kids, repeat after me and Ms Choco, and you will get a chocolate from Ms. Choco."

[Note: The author is translating the alphabet teaching in english]

"Yes, repeat with us to be a good kid. A,P,P,L,E represents APPLE; B,A,L,L represents BALL—"

The letters and the image of what they were calling were displayed on the screen behind them.

I appreciate the fact that they are teaching me so much about this language, but why do they have to teach while dancing dancing?

With their assistance, I was able to grasp the alphabets of this language; they are now teaching me how to construct sentences.

"Now, kids, tell me what B,I,T, and E mean."

BITE.

"What? I didn't hear you?"

The human children who were dancing with them shouted 'BITE'.

"Good, so it means 'Bite,'"

I noticed the living room door open, and Rika entered and sat across the sofa. I ignored her and refocused my attention on the TV.

"What's your name, good boy number one."

"Miss Choco, my name is Izumi Nakata."

"Wow, what a lovely name. So, how would you spell it?"

Let's se IZ-UM-I.

"I,Z,U—Sing all night with us—"

Huh.

I looked at Rika, who was holding the remote and pointing towards the television.
