Back Home

The half-demon woman woke up in an unfamiliar place. Beside her was her savior, and once again, he saved her life. Her savior also woke up, but he immediately stood up and walked towards what seemed to be a ladder.

However, as he was about to descend, he turned his head toward her. "Are you just going to stay there? Come here, follow me."

The half-demon woman didn't refuse and did as he said.

After descending the stairs, the woman was in a corridor. There were several closed doors to the room.

Alex opened one of the closed doors and entered into a bedroom. He took clothes from a closet to change his bloodstained clothes.

Behind Alex, the half-demon woman saw Alex removing his clothes. She blushed at the sight of Alex's back, which could be said to be very well-built.

After changing his clothes, Alex approached the woman.

"I did a temporary aid for my wound, so I need to go to a clinic quickly to get proper treatment. That means I'll leave you here for a while, kay. Please just stay inside and don't go outside. I'll be back fast."

The half-demon woman just nodded repeatedly. Alex immediately excused himself and left the house.

Alex's orders were clear: no leaving this place. While sitting and waiting for Alex, she looked around the room. This room was quite simple. There was only a bed, a closet, and a table, along with a television. Although it looked simple, it was still better than the room where the woman lived, which only had a small, hard floor mattress.

Looking at Alex's room, the half-demon woman didn't mind if she was told to stay here forever. The atmosphere here was calm and cozy, very different from where she lived.

Thinking of this room, the woman instantly remembered that she was now in the place Alex had told her about earlier. A place where there was no slave. She instantly wondered if that was the truth. But she was not allowed to leave here.

However, Alex's room had a window that led outside. By looking out, at least the woman would know whether the surroundings were different or not. Alex didn't say anything about looking out the window either.

Overcome with curiosity, the half-demon woman opened the window of Alex's room. At that instant, she was greeted by the bright sun and the cool breeze passing by. She also saw solid houses and wide, smooth roads. Some houses also had lush and tall green plants and trees. This was the first time she saw plants growing normally in the open. She wondered if the weather in Alex's place was normal. If so, this was really incredible.

On the quiet street, there were suddenly two people sauntering. Seeing them walking side by side, the half-demon woman was shocked. One of them was a man of the same race as her, the demon race. Next to him was a woman who had the characteristics of a race she knew but had never seen in person. Tall stature, golden skin, and the distinctive long pointed ears. There was only one race that had such characteristics.

"Elves." The half-demon woman spontaneously said the name of the race of the woman she saw.

Perhaps feeling called out, the elf suddenly looked in her direction. Startled by the sudden attention, she immediately hid under the window. She hoped the elf would not take offense and go away, forgetting what she did.

But unlike what the woman expected, the elf shouted from outside.

"Oi, you girl who peeks from windows. Are you there?!"

The half-demon woman was frightened by the elf's voice. How could she not? She hadn't been here long but was already causing trouble. If Alex found out, he would probably get angry and send her back to where she came from.

"Oooiii." The elf is still shouting from outside.

It didn't look like they were leaving, so she had no choice but to solve this problem before Alex returned. She slowly peeked out of the window. Below, the elf woman was talking to the demon man who was with her earlier.

"C'mon, sis, they must be frightened. Let's leave."

"We have visited all the neighbors, yet no one showed up. Do you want Pops to scold us? Besides, did you see her? She's a freaking halfling. It's rare to have them as your neighbors."

The half-demon woman didn't quite hear what they were talking about. But she knew that they were talking about her.

After arguing with the demon man, the elf woman turned back towards the window where the half-demon woman was. But then she realized that the person she was after was now looking through the window.

"Hey, good morning!" She shouted while waving her hand.

The half-demon woman was still afraid. She spontaneously went back to hiding behind the window.

"Sorry if we startled you, but we didn't mean anything bad. We were just asked to greet the neighbors by our father. We recently moved here yesterday. Our house was on the edge of the road."

Hearing that, it seemed that the two people below were not angry with him. She peeked back at the two people below.

Seeing the woman at the window peeking back, the elf smiled and waved her hand. "Nice to meet you. I am Ruca Mendez, and the one beside me is my brother, Razel."

"I am Razel Mendez. Nice to meet you, miss. I'm sorry for my sister's behavior."

The words of the demon man named Razel were returned with an elbow by his sister Ruca, the elven woman.

The half-demon woman wanted to return their introduction. But she herself didn't have a name. So she was at a loss as to what to say.

Seeing that the woman at the window remained silent, Ruca let her be. "It's okay. You don't need to answer us. It's me who is in the wrong for suddenly intruding on your time. We just want to greet our neighbors. Also if you have a free time, you can visit our house. It's on the edge of the road, over there-the house, with white paint. Once again, I'm sorry for bothering you. But it's nice to meet you, miss."

Not long after, the two people walked away from Alex's house. The half-demon woman was unprepared when they were about to leave. By etiquette, she should have said something.

Not wanting Ruca's efforts to greet her to be in vain, the half-demon woman gathered her courage. She shouted to them, "Nice to meet you too, Ruca, Razel!"

Instantly Ruca and Razel turned back toward where the half-demon woman was. But the person they saw immediately went back inside the window out of nervousness.

After greeting Ruca and Razel, the half-demon woman hugged her knees tightly while hiding her face. She acted this way out of bitterness for having initially judged Ruca badly.

Not long after, tears came to her eyes. She didn't realize that Alex's words were true. In this place, she was not discriminated against and looked down upon. Instead, she was greeted by the people around.

"This place is heaven," she said while crying.

It's all thanks to Alex for all this to happen to her. She needs to repay Alex for everything he has done for her. With determination, she will obey everything he wants her to do. Starting with staying inside and waiting for his return.
