The Mimic Demon

-----

The mimic was actually not a monster, but a demon? How come? How did Aquarina notice?

"How could you tell?" I asked.

"I-It's a feeling…" she replied.

After her words, I quickly remembered that Aquarina had this special sixth sense-like ability innate to her. Ever since she was born, she was able to see through the intentions of people and things. Perhaps due to this she's able to tell that this wasn't a simple monster?

"You're a demon?!" Zack asked at the worm-like creature in front of us.

"Guuhhh…! I was waiting to wake up after the next Demon King's awakening, yet you come and wake me up?! Can't you just be a good dinner and die for me, kids? The last idiot that got here was pretty tasty… but that has been years ago. I am starving!" said the demon in response.

"Wait! Can't we get along? I think I can offer you some food," I hastily said soon after.

"Huh?! Get along? With you humans?!" it asked in response.
