Let's Become Friends!

In the end, it seemed that Furoh wasn't all he had said. He had indeed killed humans though, the guy's skeleton near him and… a few soldiers in the war a few dozen years ago. Then again, they were out of necessity.

"But you're pretty nice when you open up, see? Why did you even put up that scary act? Were you really going to eat us?" I asked.

"Not really… I was trying to scare you away so I could later run away from the crevice you opened..." he replied.

"R-Really?" asked Aquarina.

"Y-Yes…" answered Furoh with a sigh.

"H-He's saying the truth…" Aquarina told us, using her ability to discern his true intentions.

"B-But maybe he got some magic to trick you into thinking that! How can you even think a demon like this thing can become a friend?!" Zack could not help but tell us.

"Zack, don't be so rude! He didn't choose to be born like that! And what's wrong with that? He might look like an amorphous mass of flesh, but I find him quite interesting," I said in response.
