Cat

In a forest near the villa where the wedding should have been, 2 individuals were talking, a girl and a monkey warrior.

Monkey: Well, well, we came to check on the dragon and found out something way more interesting, don't you agree?

Girl: Haha, I never expected the human to hide so much potential. It's making me shiver just thinking about it nya~

Monkey: Again with your plan of getting power?

Girl: Fufufu, I wonder, what else is he hiding?

..... ....

( Ralph's POV )

Next day. After an eventful day, we moved to the mansion, looks like the devils haven't planted any spying devices here... I can finally relax. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the idea that the devils may be hostile towards us, but at the same time, I can't stop thinking that this may cause problems in the future. What's done is done, I can go to sleep now.

"Hey, how about we go get some drinks?",My younger brother Liam asked. Normally, I would agree with him, but as I said, all I wanted was to sleep.

"You can go, I'm too tired.", I simply responded.

"You sure?", Jamie questioned and I nodded. "Well, I'll bring some home for you. Be careful, you know what happens when you sleep."

Ah yes, my curse...how can I forget. Well, at least I can watch the stars if I can't sleep. And so, as my brothers left, I got on the rooftop and gazed at the stars. For some reason, this action, it reminded me of a hunter I met during my travels. He was old but still caring for 2 little boys...rest in peace, Mr.Blaze.

During the night it's pretty cold outside and I was wearing just a t-shirt and jeans. But at the same time, I'm a living flamethrower, so the cold never bothered me anyway. Everything was calm around

me until I felt something, better said someone hugging me from behind.

"Long time no see.", the person said and

I recognized her instantly, same ears, same

tails.

"Stop clinging to me.", I warned, but she didn't move an inch.

"Eh?! But it's so cold outside and you're warm. Come on, Ralph~". She somehow learned my name, but I didn't know hers.

"Sigh. Who exactly are you and why are you here?", I asked her.

"Hmm, you don't remember me? How cruel~". She was starting to get on my nerves.

"I meant your name. You know mine, what's yours?", I questioned one more time.

"Should I tell you? Why not, I'm Kuroka, it's a pleasure to meet you ". In an instant, my eyes changed colour. If she knows that much, she can be a danger.

"Oh, why the sudden change? You're not going to hurt me, are you?", She asked, pretending to be hurt.

"I said that I'll do it if you give me a reason. I'm at the edge of my patience. Why are you here?", I asked raising my body temperature.

"Sigh.fine, fine. You know, I did say I'm looking for power, remember?", she started explaining.

"Then you got the wrong house. The pervert doesn't live here.", I specified.

"I know that. Besides, my instincts tell me you are stronger than a dragon, so...". She started to learn more about me, trying to seduce me.

"You want me to give you a shower of flames so you

can continue gold-digging?", I asked in a mocking way.

She didn't seem to enjoy the comeback, but she didn't get angry either.

"You see, this is why I like you. You don't throw yourself at just anybody. Your girlfriend must be really lucky~"

"Yeah, when I meet her...", I said with stopping myself from saying 'again'.

She seemed surprised by my words.

"O-oi.I thought guys don't usually talk about this kind of stuff cause it's embarrassing."

"Well, I'm not just any guy.", besides, what's the point of trying when I can see their souls... they're all rotten.

"Hmm, then that means you're free. I still have a chance~", she said to herself.

She got even closer, to the point where she was forcing me to look her in the eyes.

"Hey, won't you give me a chance?~", she asked with hope in her eyes...and a bit of lust.

For the sake of it, I looked at her soul. Of course, there was corruption because of her hunt for power, but there was something else...an untouched part dedicated towards a single person. Genuinely speaking, I was going to destroy her soul. Ralph control yourself or you will go all heyday like last time.

"Sigh..even if I were to give you a chance, that wouldn't happen in a day. If you want to get me, cheap tactics like seduction won't work on me. As I said, I'm not Hyoudou." For some reason, my words made her smile.

" Well, that's better than a 'no' " she explained before licking my right cheek.

"We'll meet again, Rather "

After that, she disappeared.

Me: Fucking Bimbo...
