C 63. Mary and Demon Girl.

//Sector 9, Subjects Quaters. Mary POV\\

"Yes, I understand some but most of them don't make sense to me. Do you need me to interpret it for you?"

"No, Mary, you have already done that."

"How? When? Madam 9."

"Just by holding the tablet. Okay check out the memo, you will see."

I tapped the main menu and checked for a memo. 

The recent memo contains jumbles of words that the way they are will not make any good sentences but individually they can be understood.

"Is this one of your abilities Madam 9? How many abilities do you have?"

"Haha, my little cute Mary, hand over the tablet. And no, this is not my ability, it's someone else's."

"I'm not tired of talking to you, can you stay?" I asked.

"Okay." 

Madam 9 is scary but she is the best friend one could have. There was always a smile on her face and her words were always kind.

I keep wondering why when I was just Null, I was terrified of her. If I remember well, I was terrified of Sector 9 as a whole.

They said only real demons live here, but it turns out it's half-truth but they did have a demon girl.

I take my time to ramble whatever comes to my mind and she always listens to me. She did not feel bad that I left her outside my door.

All our conversation is happening behind the doors, she leaning with her back on the door.

Haha, if I open it she will topple over but I will not do that if it's that demon girl I will do that for sure.

"I hold you long enough, take your tablet."

I heard her standing and then waiting for me, I said, "Why are you not taking it?"

"Hmm, you were supposed to open the door and hand it over to me."

I pouted and said, "That's too much action, you could take the tablet from my hand and appear on yours, why can't you do it?"

"I used to do that but have you forgotten that you made me promise never used that deja vu to you. And I said I will not do it, why change now?"

"I'm lying on the floor, it feels comfortable, I don't want to stand."

"Haha, I can wait till you are tired of the floor, by then you can hand it over to me"

"Hmm, you are too patient."

"I'm here for you."

I dragged myself up and slid the door open. She is as she always was. 

A long white gown with her hair tight to a bun. A mature lady about forty years old but her experience is…

I stretched my hand and gave her the tablet. With a smile, she collected it.

"I will take my leave." She said, waiting for me to close the door.

"Okay, you can go, I want to watch you leave."

She smiled and nodded at me before she turned around.

First, second, and third steps her body became hazy and she disappeared.

I know it, she appears and disappears like a Spectre in stories.

"Little bunny, still cooped up in your hole?"

"Demon girl! How many souls did you torment today?"

The girl I hate the most in this place. She is a Mexican lady about 25 yr-old with a black heart.

I used to wake up from my sleep and found her Demon Beast over me, his flaming eyes staring at my face.

"I come to warn you for the last time, better stop gazing at me. You must stop thinking about me at all, or else you will be punished by me."

"Haha, stop my gaze, who will want to look at a filthy and ugly person like you. As for thinking about you, it's you that always sends your Demon to my room."

She has traditional red skin and long black hair, people said her looks are okay but to me, she is ugly as her pet.

"You dire to lie in my face." She said in anger. The long corridor becomes hot and red light permeates as if in a forge.

Then a Black Hairy Wolf appeared behind the girl. His mouth emitting heat snarling. His eyes are occupied by tiny dots of red flame that stare at me.

I felt the urge to close the door but I hid behind it, only my head sticking out glaring at her.

"Yes, a Demon Girl will always be a Demon as you are susceptible to violence."

"I'm warning you, Mary. Better stop disturbing me with your gaze."

"Or what? You will ask your Demon Dog to attack me? Go ahead, this is not the first time." I shouted at her.

I'm scared because she is powerful and without intervention, she can hurt me.

But I have to show a strong front, as I know someone will intervene.

I saw the wolf growling, and its body size increased, now it was almost her height. 

The heat in the corridor also increases!

"Stop that." A lazy voice said. Thank goodness, someone is here.

A young woman from the left room of the corridor came out half asleep.

The Demon girl stepped back and the Wolf was reduced to the cat size. I was about to comment when the woman shot her gaze at me and I shut my hole.

"What is happening?"

"Lady Angela, I want her to stop gazing at me because no matter where I was, I always felt this chill that someone was looking at me and the Flame Boy confirmed it was her. I have been asking her to stop but she refuses to." 

"What gaze? She is lying. I too, asked her to stop sending her dog to my room, as I always wake up and find the dog in my room staring at me!" I retorted

"I swear I have never sent Flame Boy to her room. She is just looking for a reason to blame me!"

"Lier, swear that you never think of sending your stupid dog to my room. 

You have thought about it, not once but multiple times!" I said.

"That doesn't mean I send it," She said.

"It does to me, you wished to harm me, and I saw it. For your information you are on my blacklist Demon, I'm watching you!"

"You see that she is admitting that she kept her gaze at me." 

Her dog began to increase in size but then Angela shouted, "Calm down both of you."
