"IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
The demon girl screamed in agony as if she had gone through her most traumatic suffering. I don't really know how and why a name means so much to demons but judging from this situation and my intense anime knowledge I did something and it seems like a pact was created between me and her. And I have the better end of the stick?
Well this has turned out quite interesting and the tables have completely turned. Seeing how she is face down on her knees and hands, I slowly crept out of the bed and stood up a few distance from her while not taking my sights off her. I try to think of all the possible reasons for what just happened. This has truly intrigued me at this point.
I guess myths and legends work out. You know, the one about how you can defeat a demon by knowing its true name and I'm thinking something similar… had happened??
"This cannot be!!! How could this happen??!", she cried while her mind filled with thoughts.
(A contract?? How?? Why? I don't know what kind of contract that was. I have never seen anything like that before. It was similar to a familiar contract but felt different. What the hell is going on?)
"YOU ! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?"
At that point she had her head low and her hands wiping her tears. I kinda feel bad now although I don't really know if I should… Did I really do something? I don't even know what I did. BUT!!! Isn't this like an opportunity for me? No matter how much I think, clearly she's the one in trouble. Right? Let's beat around the bush.
''Ahem... I don't have a clue after all I am just a human but it seems like you're in a fix, aren't you?'', I said so in a sarcastic way while making her feel like I'm trying to help her.
"Stop joking around! There is no way a mere huma-", she had finally wiped her tears and had turned up her head to look at me when she suddenly stopped talking.
''Hey...what were you going to say about me?"
At that point I notice her expression turn from sadness to that of a person who had just seen death and she looked at me like I'm the demon in the room or something. She seems shocked to the core.
''What happened ? Why are you giving me that look?'', I asked instantly. Her face is worrying me too.
"You ? W-what the hell are you?", she muttered in a shaken voice.
"Huh?! Why are you asking me that?"
"Do you really not know!!? Or are you playing with me!!? Have you been playing this whole time!!??"
The girl kept looking at me like I'm someone to be feared. I replied, "I really do not know what you are talking about. I am just as confused as you are! Is it because of the name? Is it because I named you Kiri? Should I not have done that?"
The girl slowly forced herself to call down and started thinking.
(Does he really not know anything? He doesn't seem to be lying either. But how could this be.. How could this human…
I was surprise that my memory manipulation failed and even after trying to find the cause I could not see it but now for some reason maybe because of that contract we are now connected, I could look at him properly and that...----
Seriously, what in the world is up with that level of spiritual presence??!!!! It's all over the place. If I have to compare it seems to be on par with most of the high ranking demons. No!!... It's far greater. Why couldn't I notice this before?)
"Hello?? Are you alright?",I instinctively asked her, seeing her pitiful state.
"Do you really not know anything?", she asked once again as if to confirm.
"I told you I really don't know anything. Everything that has been happening is killing me since I do not know what to do? Can you not tell me what is going on?"
I tried to approach her and maybe help her up but she flinched and spoke in a loud voice.
"D..Don't come any closer. Please! Stay right there."
I am getting a bit annoyed now. Mostly because I am completely blank and I really need to know what is going on. I have to find out as soon as possible what just happened. I'm getting the answers out of her even if I have to risk it.
''Oii I can't have you look like that forever. First tell me what was your motive coming here?''
The moment I asked that, she nonchalantly answered, "Ohh that was because I needed to in order to pass the final test so that I can be promoted to a higher class demon and one day earn myself a name. Or so that was the plan."
"Huh?"
She looked at me and said , "Huh?".
(Huhhh!!!???... Why did I tell him all that? That was super confidential. A demon telling a human her motive. What is wrong with me? The contract?Did it do something to my will? What kind of contract was that? Am I being dominated? I have to get out of here!! I have to even if I have to beg!)
"Human! release me at once. I am the daughter of a noble demon. I cannot have you ordering me around. Release the contract and unbind me this instant!!".
Her face turned serious all of a sudden but her body said otherwise. Clearly she is still shaking.
She can't even stand. Are her legs numb from fear? Of what though? Me?
However she mentioned something interesting.
''Ordering?? I don't really remember doing anything like that? Hmph.ordering huh? .hihi..''
Saying so made her realize her words and what she had just hinted at me. This made her face go from serious to straight out panic mode again. I might just laugh. No! Let's hold back. Let's prioritize what I need to know first.
(Ahhhh I said something I shouldn't have.!), Kiri thought. She was panicking and tried talking her way out.
"Listen here Human. Do not try to do anything inappropriate. I warn you. I wil-".
She couldn't even finish her sentence when I told her.
''By the way Kiri do you mind waking up my family and release them from the spell?''
"Yes? Heh ?No, Why would I do that?"
''It's an order''
The moment I said that she suddenly cried in pain like she was pinched and did what I told her to do. I am sure now. I have somehow gained 'authority' over her. Hihi. I don't know how but. Hihi. This is going to be fun. Now then.
My family woke up and slowly regained their senses. My dad looked around and looked at me and then his face turned towards Kiri, ''What the hell happened? Ehhh... A girl!!!!! A pretty girl!!!?''
I look at him with a smug in my face and said,
"I just received my best Birthday Gift Ever."
