CHAPTER 32- Mio and Nem.

"Hey, can't we talk? I don't want to fight you."

Kei was on the ground. The wolf had its right paw on Kei's body.

"Darling!"

"Kei!"

Furious, Drin and Eris planned to attack the wolf, but Kei didn't want to fight.

"Girls, don't worry about me. Don't attack her ... It is an order from the leader."

"But darling, she hit you and bit you!"

"You're bleeding, Kei!"

The wolf bit Kei's head and started bleeding. He used his magic to protect his head, but it was not enough. Blood was rushing out of him.

"In a few seconds the wound will close, don't worry ... Hey, I really don't want to fight. I am not an enemy."

"I will not trust a hero."- Said the wolf.

"I said I'm a hero, but I didn't tell you my whole story. Hear my story, please."

The wolf was silent for a few seconds and looked at Kei's companions.

They were both furious, especially Drin. Her demonic aura could scare anyone.

The wolf realized Drin's true nature.

"A demon ... What does a demon do with a hero?"- She thought.

Eris already knew Drin's story, so she wasn't surprised. She trusted Kei a lot, so she wasn't afraid of Drin.

But humans consider demons to be disgusting and horrible monsters. If a normal human knew Drin, he would wet his pants immediately.

The wolf was surprised, but showed no fear.

"Kei, are demons your allies?"

"I am thinking about that… Drin told me the story of the demons ... Because of Fravi they suffered too much ... But they are all corrupted by hatred ... They are unlikely to join me ... They want humans to be dead ... And since I am a human, I must avoid that ... But if possible, I would like demons and humans to live together and in peace ... Although that is unlikely ... Drin told me that humans must disappear so that demons can live in this world ... And if they don't disappear, it will be impossible to live here ... The only way for them to live together and in peace is by defeating Fravi ... And that I plan to do ... Unfortunately, if the demons try to kill me, I must defend myself ... The only reason Drin doesn't attack humans is because I told her not to. If she hadn't met me, she would kill any human she saw ... That's how corrupt she was."

Eris looked at Drin in fear.

She didn't know that.

Kei avoided saying it, as he wanted the two to be friends.

"I-is it true?"

"Yes... When I was a teacher, I had to control my hatred ... But when I was done working, I would kidnap humans and torture them to death.

Eris gulped and stepped away from Drin.

"Eris, she changed. She will not attack anyone ... Unless it is necessary. Don't be afraid of Drin."

Eris smiled happily and hugged Drin.

"If Kei says so, it means it's true!"

"She trusts Kei too much ... I like it."- Drin thought.

"Well, back to the topic ... The demons will attack any human they see ... Negotiating with them will not work ... Demons are my allies? The answer is: "maybe". I can negotiate with demon women, but I cannot negotiate with demon men ... I will try to get the help of the demons, but I cannot promise that I will get their help ... My mission is to defeat Fravi ... I am a hero, but they considered me useless and abandoned me."

"Kei ... You are interesting… You're telling the truth… Tell me, what do you plan to do with the heroes? Will you kill them?"

"I am not a protagonist with hate. They didn't do anything to me ... They even saved me ... But Fravi will consider me a danger and will try to kill me using the heroes ... If they try to kill me, I will first try to negotiate ... But if that fails, I will fight."

"I see... What do you think of the Demi-Demons?"

"Unlike the humans of this world, I consider the Demi-Demons as allies.... They are almost extinct ... Humans consider them disgusting and ugly for having demon magic ... They kill without mercy. They are forced to live alone and in fear ... it seems unfair ... That is why I will fight for them ... I want to create a peaceful world ... A world where we are all equal ... A world without lust ... No smug people ... No hate ... That is what I want."

"You are very interesting, Kei ... And how do you plan to achieve it? If you defeat Fravi, what will you do next?"

"I don't know."- Kei said smiling.

"Eh? What did you say?"

"I'm telling you I don't know ... It is a risky bet. Maybe the supreme God will help me with his power ... Or maybe I will become a God ... But if I win, this world will be peaceful ... I give you my word."

The wolf looked at Kei with admiration and respect.

She trusts Kei's words.

"You are really interesting ... My name is Mio."

The girl who was with Mio approaches them.

"And she is Nem. We are both Demi-Demons."

"You are an animal-type Demi-Demon... Great!"

"I also have a human form, but I don't like to use it."

"So… Friends?"

"We'll follow you. I will trust you."

"Thank you very much...! By the way, can I get up now?"

"Oh I'm sorry."

Mio walked away from Kei and he got up off the ground.

"I belong to a very important and wealthy noble family. I will use my money to build a house. We will all live there. They will not have to live alone again."

Kei walked over to Nem and held out his hand.

"Thanks for trusting me."

She looked at Kei and slowly raised her hand.

She paused for a few seconds. She wasn't sure about doing that.

"Nem, Kei is a friend. We can trust him."

Nem nodded and took Kei's hand.

With a firm handshake, the friendship between Kei and the Demi-Demons began.

"You are very strong..."

Kei's hand is crushed and tears begin to flow from his eyes.

Nem broke all the bones in his hand.

"Darling!"

"Kei!"

"I'm sorry, Nem doesn't know how to control her strength."

"Y-Yes... I-I already realized ..."

Nem turned away from him. She was shaking, but her face was still expressionless.

She always kept the same serious expression.

"D-don't worry ..."

Kei's hand returned to normal.

"M-my healing magic is very powerful ... By the way, don't you have an eye? Your hair covers part of your face ... And I see a scar."

Nem hid her scar with her hair.

"She can't talk."

"Is it from birth?"

"Yes."

"My healing magic isn't that powerful ... I can heal the blind, but not blind from birth. Someday you will be able to talk, I promise you. I will improve my healing magic ... But I think I can remove your scar."

"Can you give him back her eye?"

"Of course. By the way, what happened to her? I was curious."

"An adventurer discovered us and tried to kill us. I defeated her, but Nem ended up hurt ... She lost her eye."

"I Understand... And why were they here? You, Demi-Demons, stay hidden."

"The villagers began to disappear. I detected demon magic in this place ... And when the villagers completely disappeared, the magic disappeared. Nem and I were hungry, so we were here to look for food."

"Demon magic ... I knew that... Demons are involved ... Drin, can you feel something?"

"Just give me an hour... I can find the origin of the magic ... Some traces remain."

She sat down on the floor and closed her eyes.

"Well, she will do the job."

Kei approached Nem.

"I'll touch your face. Please don't be scared. I am ugly, but I am a good person."

"Ugly?"- Mio said confused.

To Mio, Kei wasn't ugly.

"He says the truth… Is he really considered ugly?"- She thought.

Kei still hadn't gotten over his trauma.

Kei placed the palm of his left hand on Nem's face.

A red glow surrounded his hand and Kei's nose started to bleed.

"W-What?"

He withdrew his hand and walked away from Nem.

Her eye returned and the scar disappeared.

"A-amazing ..."- Mio said.

Kei started vomiting blood and fell unconscious to the ground.

"Kei?!"

•

•

Kei woke up in a completely black place.

"W-what happened to me? Where am I?"

The black disappeared. He was still in the village.

"Eh? Huh?!"

Around his were the lifeless bodies of his companions and his family.

Their eyes were smashed, their legs and arms shattered and without skin.

Their heads were cut off and crushed.

"N-no..."

Kei heard a girl laugh.

"They were raped, tortured and murdered! Why?! It's your fault!"

Near approached Kei. She had a smile on her face.

"Y-you ..."

Kei clenched his fists.

"Y-you ..."

He smiled and waved his hand at Near.

"Hello! How are you?"

"Eh?"

"I'm fine. I'm a little tired and hungry, but I'm fine."

"Huh?!"
