CHAPTER 63.5 - Hell. Part 3.

(POV - Kei)

In a few minutes, we will arrive at a place no human wants to go. I don't know how long we will be in hell, but the less time, the better.

I won't lie, I'm scared. If a mere commander kicked my ass without taking things seriously, the Demon Queen could definitely kill me with a snap of her fingers. "Pero ya me vale verga todo (But I don't give a damn anymore!)!" I'm tired of all this. The Queen of Turger is playing with me, and I feel so powerless right now. If she wants, she can reveal my identity at any moment. I'm in her clutches... Huh?

Drin took my hand and smiled at me. Well, well... Yes, you're right, I shouldn't worry so much. If it has a solution, why worry? And if it doesn't, why worry? The best thing will be to prepare to hide from my family.

"I-I'm a little nervous," said Mia.

"Me too, but we have to do it."

Mia is strong, but compared to the demons, I don't see her capable of defeating one on her own. Eris or Terkiana would have been a better choice, but the supreme God must have his reasons.

Mia made a great team with Treka, together they rose to Class A, but now that she is not here, I think her level would be like Class B. I must protect her at all costs.

"We're almost there," said Drin.

We're walking along the beach, as there is an entrance to hell here. Ah, there are hundreds of entrances and exits all over the world, and humans never realized that demons have been planning their great battle for hundreds of years. The most logical outcome would be for the demons to win the war. I am neutral in all this, but... Ah, better not think about that for now. Focus, Kei!

Oh, well, well. How cute, a dolphin jumped in the sea.

"Ouch..."

It was caught by a large tentacle and pulled under.

"The sea monsters have increased in number around this area. Could it be due to the influence of the entran...?! Aaaah!"

What?! A hole?! I'm falling through a hole! The pressure on my body is infernal, I can't use my arms to slow my fall. Every time I try, my hands break. It's sucking me in!

"You found the entrance, darling!" said Drin.

She sounds excited and happy.

I sigh in relief. This is the entrance. I thought I had fallen into a trap! I was already seeing my life flash before my eyes... Well, no, but I was scared!

"I-I feel like my body will explode!" said Mia.

"It's because your body doesn't have demonic magic, which makes it incompatible with the entrance. Normally this would kill humans like you, but you don't explode because I'm surrounding your body with my own magic power."

Now that she mentions it, it's true, I feel my body compressing, but it doesn't hurt that much. Why?

"You should have mentioned it before!" said Mia.

"I didn't want to waste time on unimportant things."

I suppose she's right. It's not worth wasting time worrying about this, if Drin already had a solution anyway. But letting us know about the pain would have been good. Did she forget? No, I don't think so. Pain for us is so normal, that it shouldn't matter. Mia was scared because she possibly thought the same as me, that it was a trap.

The entrances to hell activate automatically, which is why the entrance opened suddenly, detecting Drin by my side.

Since the entrances were made for demons, they don't guard them, because no demon would betray their race (Drin became an exception due to my ability), but there's something that really doesn't make sense. Why is it not possible to detect movements at the entrances? I can understand the logic of not guarding the entrances to see who enters, because only demons enter, but isn't it possible to detect when someone uses an entrance?

According to Drin, demons would only know that someone used an entrance if they see them exit, because they can't know if someone used an entrance before that. They don't get a signal or anything, nothing alerts them. Why? She doesn't know, Desmolfer only told them that simply no one can know, and from her own experience, she knows it's impossible to detect when entrances are used.

It doesn't make sense. Doesn't Desmolfer use her magic to keep them active? Doesn't she get at least a vibration? Nothing at all? It's too suspicious in my opinion, but Drin told me not to worry, Desmolfer has a curse that prevents her from lying, she doesn't lie about that. No one can know when an entrance is used, not even her.

And since I supposedly have no reason to go to hell, she doubts very much that they guard the entrances now that they know Drin is a traitor.

This is too convenient... How strange.

I see a light, we're almost out.

"I expected something cooler, but this is fun."

It's like a slide.

"Hell..." said Mia.

Yes, I'm excited to see it too.

One by one, we began to exit and hid behind the trash cans. An alley, huh? Perfect.

Mia took a transformation pill and her skin turned red, she grew a pair of horns, a tail, and her face changed to that of an ordinary girl whose name we don't even know.

Drin and I changed our appearance. I turned into Cris, my old best friend. He's from another world, so I don't think they know him. I grew horns and a tail. Not all demons have red skin, so I'll keep it that way. I became Cris because I plan to seduce a maid from Desmolfer's house, and falling in love with someone as handsome as Cris wouldn't be that suspicious.

And Drin transformed into Nia, my cousin, mainly because I asked her to. Ah, I feel so calm looking at her. Yes, I'm filled with confidence! Remember your mission, Kei, don't fail now!

"A dead-end alley? They'll see us coming out," said Mia.

"They must have built it recently, it wasn't in the plans I read three years ago," said Drin.

The hole closed. I see people walking on the sidewalk, if they turn, they'll see us.

I knew it, a man turned around...! Hmmh?!

Immediately, Drin hugged me and started kissing me passionately, while Mia kissed me from behind. Huh?! Oh, right, the love plan. Just appear as perverts taking advantage of the darkness of the alley to get frisky. And it worked! The man felt uncomfortable and looked away.

Well, well. I never thought something like this... Huh?

I look up. That's... a modern building.

I always imagined hell as a place full of fire, pain, and despair, but this hell looked like a city. A city from my world.

I hear cars too. Those people have smartphones in their hands?!

... Huh?

My vision blurs. What's...? Am I crying? No, don't cry, idiot, don't cry! Don't raise suspicions!

"Darling."

Drin hugged me.

"There's no rush, cry."

... Thank you.

I'm in a modern city again. I'm in a place like my home again. I know perfectly well that this is not my home, but it's so similar, that my heart feels at home.

I was born and raised in a city, it's impossible not to feel nostalgic being here, but... I think that's not the reason I'm crying.

Drin and Mia smile at me, thinking I cry for being in a modern city again, but no. I cry because, possibly, this is the closest I'll ever get to a place like my home. This is the limit I'll reach.

Defeating a Goddess, what nonsense. I know...

Ahhhhhhhhh!

"Darling?!"

I hit my face. Don't be pessimistic, son of a bitch! Move your ass, Kei, you have things to do!

"There's no time for sentimentality. Let's go. Where is Desmolfer's house?"

"According to the plans, it should be an hour's walk away. We could get money for the bus if you flirt with some old lady, darling. Hehe."

"Not a bad idea," said Mia.

Yeah, sure, since you're not the ones who will do it... Wait, according to the plans?

... Weak and powerful demons... No, no, no. Please, that would be too exaggerated. Don't let it be what I'm imagining.

"Plans? I mean, I would understand if you said plans during the meeting, but here? Please, tell me you've been here before."

"Sorry, darling, I lived in a very different place. This is new to me too. Modern cities look very nice in person. It must have been nice to grow up in this type of environment, although it's very noisy."

"Huh? Drin, you've never been here?" said Mia.

"No. Due to Fravi's curse, the growth of demons is very slow. Desmolfer selects demons with potential and separates them from other demons, so they don't waste time on other things and are always training. I've never had contact with normal demons, everything I know is from the information I've read in reports."

"I understand," said Mia.

... Better not open any more wounds. There's no time to get sentimental. Hey, tear, don't come out of my eye! Go back! Ah, that's much better.

The less time we spend here, the better. Let's move.

I left the alley. Wow.

I looked up, appreciating better the tall building in front of us. Will hell have a capitalist or socialist system? I heard that Desmolfer is very protective of demons. Will she allow homeless people to exist? Drin told me that crime doesn't exist here, and that fills me with curiosity. How do they prevent crime? No demon rapes or kills...? Wait, before Fravi went crazier, demons and humans lived together in peace, and there were no lustful or boastful people. Does that mean demons maintain that nature? Didn't Fravi change them?

"Darling, you're standing out," Drin whispered to me.

Oh, that's true. My thoughts are at normal speed because I don't want to use magic, I must conserve all the energy possible.

"Sorry. Let's go."

I started walking, and the girls walked behind me to avoid bothering the pedestrians around us.

"Are we going to walk?" Mia asked.

"We don't have any money. Darling, could you get us some money with your charm?"

The nature of men compels them to feel lust only for the person they love, just one, and if what I suspect is true, if I use my ability on a demon girl, she might never fall in love with anyone else again... Ah, I don't know.

Is it worth doing to save time? I know we need to stay here as little as possible, but it hurts me to be the reason a girl ends up without love.

I need to confirm my suspicions.

["Thought communication," activated. Drin, do you know if the demons here feel lust?]

[Lust? What are you trying to say, darling?]

[If they shared a world with humans, they must have shared nature too. Do they all feel lust even for people they don't love?]

[Well... I don't know. The demons here weren't relevant to me, so I wasn't interested in knowing about them. Sorry, darling.]

[What about the warrior demons?]

[They are very lustful. The only things they do for fun are taking drugs and having sex. Parties, orgies, things like that. But don't worry, darling, I never took drugs or had sex! I was pure until I met you!]

[T-that wasn't necessary to clarify, but thank you, Drin.]

Generally speaking, the demons here must be the same.

[They're supposed to always be training. Does Desmolfer give them free time to do those stupid things?] Mia asked.

Well, well. She has a point. Drin always told me they spend all their time training.

[Those who reach veteran rank are no longer required to train; only those who have shown great potential are forced to train, like Gabrielku. I specialized more in research areas, so it was no longer necessary for me to train all the time, just enough to stay sharp.]

[I see. I guess only the idiots who settled for the lowest ranks waste time on that. Does Desmolfer really allow it?] Mia said.

[I don't know her ways very well, but I think that's a way to find the demons worthy of her personal training, those who are worth it for their great effort and determination. An example is Desmolfer's husbands, who proved worthy of being with her. And the most famous cases are the commanders Zero, Markam, and Nero, who reached their positions by training much more than any other demon.]

Ah, I had forgotten that Desmolfer has husbands, in the plural. Well, well. I don't judge; if a man dreams of having a harem, why not a woman too?

Mia and Drin keep talking about hell, but I'm distracted watching the people around us.

The demons wear very modern clothes, like those in my world. Skirts, jeans, sneakers, shoes, caps, glasses, tattoos. They even use headphones and smartphones!

This feels so nostalgic. Even with magic, demons didn't settle; they kept advancing and didn't stay in the Middle Ages... Ah, yes, demons definitely have the absolute advantage over humans. Do they have atomic bombs? I don't know if I can survive radiation; I've never trained my resistance to radiation because... well, I don't know how to generate radiation.

I know it causes cancer, but I can heal myself and things like that... huh?

"Darling?! W-what's wrong?"

I lost the strength in my body for a second and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Drin caught me in time.

Am I under enemy attack? Nope. Then? The answer is right in front of my eyes. Schoolgirls!

Two demon girls, wearing school uniforms, are walking towards us. How nostalgic! It reminds me of the girls who... made fun of me and... called me a stinky virgin otaku... On second thought, I don't feel so nostalgic anymore.

Virgin otaku, huh? I'll show them how much I've changed!

...

...

...

"What's wrong?" Mia asked.

I watched them walk away from me. Ah, I intended to flirt with them to get money, but my morals stopped me. I'm not an otaku or a virgin, but I am very pathetic. I know perfectly well that I must do it to get money, for the sake of the mission, but... I just couldn't. I lack a lot of evil.

I feel like I'm disappointing my Molfer blood, but I'm also an Edna, not 100% a monster, and I don't want to be one either... but I must be.

Hmm?

"What?"

Well, well. "Que siniestra (How sinister)" A girl with a horse's body walked in front of us. Yes, there are horse women in my world too, but she is very different. Why? Because she is made entirely of bones! She's a centaur skeleton, with a wig and breasts! She's wearing a blouse and seems to have breasts, but I don't see any trace of skin. What would her breasts be like? Oh, curiosity is killing me!

I approached her.

"Excuse me, miss."

She turned to look at me.

"Yes...? W-what?"

Oh, I felt a chill seeing her move her jaw to speak.

["Double thought," activated.]

When our eyes met, I immediately activated my ability on her. Wow, a talking skull. The Undead in this world look human, so this is the first time I've seen a skeleton talk.

She's wearing home clothes and carrying bags in her skeletal hands. Coming back from the supermarket, huh? That means she has money. Two birds with one stone!

Let's see, no engagement ring and... sniff, sniff.

[Last orgasm an hour ago, by masturbation.]

[Last time she had sex: virgin.]

Yes, she smells like a virgin, with a peculiar scent, like strawberries. Can she even have sex?

"I'm looking for a place to sleep; my parents kicked me out. Do you know where I can rent a cheap house? Sorry, I was never allowed to leave my room, so I don't know anything about this place."

Demons can detect lies, but since she's under the effects of my ability, I can lie without fear. I've already done some tests in the past that confirm this.

["Sex mode," at maximum.]

I smiled at her.

"I'd really appreciate your help."

I don't know if she blushed, but...

[Orgasm, ?]

At least I know my ability works on her.

"You d-don't have anywhere to stay?"

I shook my head, my eyes tearing up. I gave her puppy-dog eyes. Hehe. Cris's secret weapon, the one that almost made me fall into the temptation of becoming gay, is now under my power! Muahahaha!

"No, and to be honest, I'm scared."

My tears started to fall. Hehe. Good thing I saved them.

"I don't want to go back home, I don't want to suffer anymore. I'll do anything, so..."

I hugged her arm.

[Orgasm, ?]

"Please, help me."

She patted my head.

"Everything will be fine. Come, I live nearby, I'll give you something to eat."

"R-really? Thank you so much!"

We started walking together, and as we walked, I was nuzzling her skeletal arm with my cheek.

[What a great actor you are, darling!]

[What's the plan?] Mia asked.

"Are you not married, miss?"

"No, I'm not... so..."

She slipped her hand under my clothes and caressed my chest. Wow, so aggressive.

"Do you want to stay at my house for a few days?"

"R-really?! Thank you so much!"

You want to take advantage of a desperate innocent? Well, a win-win. You get the sexual pleasure you desire, and I get your money... Ah, I feel like a prostitute.

[Wait outside the house, I'll try to be as quick as possible. Drin, take this opportunity to research more about this place on the internet. I'll make her give me her phone's password.]

Ah, well, well... "Vamos a trabajar" (Let's get to work).
