CHAPTER 34- School trip.
Kei and his companions entered a house, which is located in the middle of a forest. The house has 3 floors and is dirty. Kei's family hasn't used it in a long time.
"There are 4 rooms available… Sorry, it's a bit dirty ... I wanted to use another house, but I remembered that it was next to a town. I don't want to be discovered. My mother lived in this house when she was young."
"Don't worry. Thank you very much, Kei ... I guess I should use my human form."- Mio said.
A black liquid completely surrounded her and she began to change shape.
"Great..."
The liquid disappears. Mio transformed into a 20-year-old girl. She had long black hair, green eyes, and was wearing a black dress. She had a tail and wolf ears.
She was small, measuring 1:55 meters. And she had small breasts.
She had little black horns on her forehead and that seemed incredible to Kei as Mio looked powerful and cool.
"Come on, Nem. Let's clean the house."
Nem nodded and Kei looked at Mio too much.
"Great! Mio, you look amazing!"
"Thanks, Kei."- Mio said smiling.
"Another smile I want to protect."- Kei thought smiling.
"Darling, it's already late. We must move."- Said Drin.
"It's true, it's almost night now ... Eris, do you want to stay in this house or will you sleep in an inn?"
"I'll stay. I want to help clean."- Said Eris.
"Okay. Tomorrow I will bring you food ... And be careful, this forest is dangerous ... Good night."

Kei entered his house. Drin, in her cat form, is in his head.
"Brother!"
Mei quickly walked over to him and hugged him tightly.
"Eh? What is it, Mei?"
"I trained all day! My bones hurt! Give me love so that the pain disappears!"
"Yes, yes..."
Kei patted her head and smiled at her.
"Good job. If you push yourself, you will be the next commander. And I will be your right hand."
Mei turned completely red.
"Yes! We will be invincible together, brother!"
Sei Molfer sighed upon observing that scene.
She knew it was weird ... But Mei doesn't want to give up on Kei.
"In the future she will fall in love with another boy ... I hope so."- She thought.

A couple of weeks passed.
The days were calm for both of them.
No demons attacked.
The heroes did not go near Kei.
Nothing suspicious happened ... Everything was quiet ... Although that tranquility was about to end.
"A school trip?"- Said the students.
Kei and Mei entered the school a month ago. Their school days were difficult for both of them. The jobs were difficult even for Kei.
"We will go to "Nersfa" beach."
"A trip to the beach!"
"Great!"
The girls were excited about that news ... But Kei wasn't excited, he was nervous.
"T-the beach?!"
For Kei, being around girls was awkward ... And the idea of being surrounded by girls in bathing suits made him even more uncomfortable.
"It will be a 5-day trip. In order for them to understand how magic works, they must speak to a mermaid. As you know, mermaids have the best magic control. If they are lucky, a mermaid will speak to them."
He raised his hand.
"You can talk, Kei."
"Mermaids hate humans. I understand they never go near a human."
"Yes, that is very true. But 34 years ago, a mermaid spoke to a student at our school. After that, she managed to control her magic power perfectly and discovered new ways to use magic. Although it is a small possibility, we hope that a mermaid will speak to you."
"I see... Thanks, it's everything… No, wait... I never heard that story ... Who was the student?"
"It's not a famous story. The student disappeared two years after talking to the siren."
"Wow, wow... Thanks, that's all."
That story seemed interesting to him, but strange. Why did she disappear? Did they kidnap her and use her as a lab rat? Kei had several questions on his mind ... And he came to a conclusion.
"The origin of a villain ... The power drove her crazy ... This is a possibility... And since my story is cliché, that origin may be true ... I need to be careful."- Kei thought.

In a forest, Nero was surrounded by Slimes.
She had a smile on her face.
"Kei Molfer ... I see... Drin grew fond of a human ... At the moment, it is out of my reach ... Should I send demons?"
A message appeared in Nero's mind.
[The teacher said: We will go to the "Nersfa" beach.]
"Wow, wow..."
Nero smiles sweetly. She seemed like someone cute and kind ... But it is not.
"This is perfect. Slime number 291, you are free."
•
•
A small Slime was hiding in a corner of the classroom.
No one noticed. As the Slime was only spying on Kei, Kei did not detect it with "Detect Enemies", because the Slime did not want to harm him, it just wanted to keep an eye on him.
The "Detect Enemies" skill is flawed, but Kei didn't know that.
A message appeared in the slime's mind.
[Slime number 291, you are free.]
The Slime started jumping for joy, but unexpectedly, the Slime exploded and completely disintegrated.
Nero killed him ... And when she killed that Slime, she said: "I don't need you anymore, useless." And all the slimes exploded.
For Nero, Slimes were tools. If she no longer needed them, she killed them.
•

The break began and the students started to leave the classroom.
"I'm hungry."- Kei said.
Grisia approached Kei.
"D-do you want to eat with me?"
That opportunity was perfect. Kei knew Grisia's potential, that's why he wants her to be his partner.
"Of course. Let's go."
Since Grisia and Mei are friends, she knew that Grisia had a crush on Kei, as she told her so. But she didn't want to lose Kei.
"I'm going with you!"- Mei said, while hugging Kei's arm.
Grisia was a bit sad, because she wanted to eat only with Kei. But since Mei was Kei's sister and her friend, she put that sadness aside.
"Of course. Let's go."- Grisia said smiling.

In a forest, the screams of a woman could be heard.
Zero was cutting off a woman's fingers using a razor.
The poor woman was crying and screaming in pain, and Zero liked that.
"Please, stop this!!"
Every time Zero cut the woman's fingers, the fingers immediately regenerated. Zero was using healing magic to continue torturing the woman.
"Did you really think you could defeat me? Me? You are so funny. A-class adventurers think they are powerful, but they are not."
"I-I'll work for you !! I will do anything!! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!! I'm a D-class adventurer !! I lied to you!! I thought you would freak out and leave me alone !! Please don't kill me, I have to feed my two younger brothers !!"
"Wow... You have younger siblings ... You know, I had a younger sister ... And a hero killed her ... I think I'll kill your brothers too."
"N-no, please… !!"
Zero hit the woman in the face and her head exploded.
"I'm really angry ... But I must go back ... Tomorrow I will kill her brothers."
