It's been a few hours now since everything happened and it felt like a lot happened too. I seriously have a lot of questions to ask but for now I'm gonna just sit here and look at my family blank faces. Haha this is too funny. I told them the current situation but they had to give me these expressions, especially my dad. I probably won't forget that face forever. Never.
Dad: I can't really believe what I am hearing right now but somehow it felt weirder if we didn't believe it. My son would never have brought home a beautiful girl in the middle of the night. This boy got no romance skills after all.
Whole family: Hmm I agree
That hurts me more than I expected. The fact that you all chose that reason to trust me.
Dad: So what are you gonna do next? I'm seriously lost right now. I have no clue whatsoever, what to say or ask?
''Hmm Kiri you said something about spirit. What did you mean by that?''
Kiri: Spiritual Presence . In other words the strength of your soul or spirit or maybe your aura, I don't really know how to explain it too but I can feel it and see it. Most demons do. And how it influences you and your surroundings. And why are you asking me that? With that level of spiritual energy you should have noticed all the weird things around you that normal humans cannot perceive.
''I don't get it. What do you mean by weird things around me? Something supernatural??''
Kiri: I thought something was weird. Well let me see if I can show you it will be faster.
She stood up and stood near the window and told me to look at the man on the street and ask me if I could see him.
''Of course I can see him he is not even that far.''
Dad: Where is that man?
Sis: Yea which dude are you two talking about?
Mom: There should not be anyone out there. It's 3 am you know.
Kiri: Don't you get it? The only ones who can see him are you and me.
''What do you mean by that?''
Kiri: It's not that you did not notice the weird thing around you? Your spiritual energy was strong enough that your eyes could no longer even distinguish between a human and a Ghost.
(I was speechless..... Maybe because no one close to me has ever died that might be the reason why I have never met 'dead people' and even if I did I would only perceive them as strangers in their everyday life. If I were to see my dead father in the street maybe I would have come to question myself.)
Kiri: Well I think that ghost avoids you too anyway.
''Why is that?''
Kiri: Someone with high spiritual energy would only come out of a demon or an exorcist.
'' Exorcist?!... You mean those cool demon slaying psychos actually exist. Wow....''
At this point Kiri seem to have already given up trying to resist answering me
Kiri: Yup, they exist. It's because of their existence I chose this family located out of the exorcist faction and only a few demons could choose their area to pass the final test.
''Hoho..in other words you are not a normal demon..you did say something about being the daughter of a noble demon.''
Kiri: For someone who seem stupid you actually remember that. Well I guess so but how am I going to return after a total failure like this one.
''Return? You mean you could go back to wherever you came from?...Hmmm hihi.. If that is so mind taking me with you?''
Kiri: Huh why would I do something like th--?
Hmmm??
Dad: Hoi what do you think you're saying? Going where?
Kiri said a few words I could not understand and my family was back to being unconscious. I totally forgot they were in the room too.
''Kiri, what do you think your doing?''
Kiri: Don't worry about it. I only cast a sleeping spell, they will wake up soon. Anyway human, what do you think of going to the demon world with me?
Isekai genre. To die in your world and wake up reincarnated in another world. Every otaku dream and here I am getting a free pass to another world without having to go through something as gruesome as death. Talk about luck.But I should have known being an anime veteran that something that easy was never going to happen. Seriously, we're still on 'episode 2' of the anime. What was I thinking letting my fantasies get over me. Truly a fool I have been.Kiri: Stop blabbering to yourself human and get on your knees before you're forced to.''Well this is really quite the welcome party Kiri. I never thought that I would be welcomed by such horrifying demons and not to mention the death glare each and everyone of them is giving me. I'm pretty sure they are going to make the red carpet using my blood. (Dad ,mom ,my dear sis and bros. Your brother is truly a fool and this might be my last birthday. Ahhh wish I could have atleast finished AOT).-30 mins ago-''Go to the demon world? You mean
My life sucks. Just how many times do I have to be cheated by women. I thought I learnt my lesson but I guess I still have a lot to learn. And talk about the worst. Right now I am being chained and dragged around like a slave to be sold. What a life indeed.I was in my own thoughts. Kiri was nowhere to be seen. She left me at lighting speed as soon as I was cuffed. All alone with five scary demons. They look like humans but I can somehow tell they are not. The scary aura they are giving off is similar to when Kiri got mad. Yup, probably ever since Kiri appeared I have become more sensible to these things. I can't explain how though.They took me to a huge building that seemed like a castle and we got inside .At this point I'm amazed at myself for not losing my cool . I was pretty sure to have at least panic a bit. But I don't feel anything like that. We went deeper in the castle and came to a passage that led directly to a huge door . As we moved closer to the door I felt a chill down
''A Slave contract. Apart from its curse , disobeying any order would trigger a penalty to the slave . It won't kill the slave but forced her to survive through all that pain.Its an absolutely cruel contract that was forbidden by our Demon King himself and not to mention no teachings or any type of record was to be publish or even talking or attempting it would result in death penalty. So why is it? Why is it that a mere human could create something like that? You what the hell are you?''The mother was on her knees hearing that. Kiri seemed too shocked to even show a proper reaction. And with all that was going on a certain individual was focusing all his bloodlust on me. He was there sitting at one of the top seats.The mother turned to him ''Dear? What should we do?''Dear? So that means that dude up there is Kiri's father. Seemed like I made an enemy out of a terrible dude.Everyone was out of order. Then someone from the top seat spoke.''Human you are lucky to have held a noble d
The moment I mentioned my name the room filled with silence. I didn't like the vibe at all.''You can call me Ban the way everyone does and you mentioned something about adjourning so I'm going to head out. Don't worry, I won't run away. Kiri take me outside.''Kiri: Ohh mmm lets go.And we went out and everyone just watched.Kiri's father: Avareza... Coincidence?-Ban: Ahh that was hectic . I thought I was a goner back then. I guess luck is still on my side. Who would have thought I did something as crazy as that. Haha. This has turned out quite interesting I must say. Don't you think so Kiri?Kiri?--Are you still worried I might do something to you? Well I did say something back then but I didn't really mean it.Kiri: That's not really why I am down.Ban: Then why?Kiri: The fact that my whole family had to take responsibility for my failure and I even ended up a human slave. I don't know how I can face them later on even if they manage to fix our situation right now.She does ha
Meanwhile at the council of demons a meeting regarding the investigation of Ban is being held.Kiri's mother:As mentioned before, we will hold out an investigation regarding the human.''Lord Ira what do you think of this?''Lord Ira: Your daughter told us everything that happened in the human world. Hmph to think that a mere human was able to cast such a spell . No matter how you look at it something doesn't feel right. For one thing you need an intense amount of spiritual energy to invoke such a contract but strangely I don't feel anything of the sort.Kiri's Mother:That's true this is all too mysterious. My daughter said something about his insane presence but if even a lord could not see it I doubt my daughter's words but I don't think she was lying either.-Crowd anxious-A third voice spoke '' It's better you start the investigation right away. Head to the human world and find as many clues as you can ''Kiri's Mother: I will do so Lord Gula.Lord Gula: And one more thing. Find o
We took him home and cared for him as our own. As days went by he got along really well with his sister too. Dad got a promotion in his work soon after and even I got a decent job and we were more financially supported . We had our two sweet sons later on. His fellow orphans called him a curse but to us he was a blessing. Even after the church came back for him, we decided to keep him and officially adopted him. I had thought of times to tell him the truth but it always went past my mind. We are truly a family and I know he will accept the truth one day. I should have told him sooner but now he is gone to a place I don't even know exists. Say ma'am if it's possible can I see my son again?Lisa: That's up to your son to decide.After all he barges in our world on his own choice and has given me quite the trouble. Whether or not he chose to come back it's up to him. I'm more than happy if he leaves us alone but the current situation does not allow me. ( Wait if that is the case why didn't
-An hour ago-Melinda: Haha. So that actually happened. You are an interesting one human. To think you would drag a noble's daughter around like that. Ah that was an interesting story indeed I'm glad I haven't left for work yet.Ban: Still I can't believe your sister is this academy head and looking at its surroundings I'm sure it's quite the prestigious one at that.Kiri: Well whatever. Anyway sister is there anyway I can get this guy spiritual energy tested?Melinda: Under normal circumstances even demons would not get that chance. But I am curious about this human. So I will allow it. Let's see, come with me .She went to the drawer and took a silver ball that you would see in any magic anime. It's exactly what you think it is.Melinda: This orb will show you the strength of your spiritual energy as well as your color.Ban: My color?Melinda: You will know soon. This here is a low orb. It is used to test the spiritual strength of lesser demons and such. I don't know if it will work
Lord Ira: Do you hear yourself Melinda? What are you trying to say about getting a mere human measured at the Supreme orb?Melinda: I understand your concern but the fact that this human destroyed a high orb by a simple touch of his finger has piqued my interest and I know even the council found him suspicious that a mere human with almost no spiritual presence was able to form a contract with a demon. Let the orb show us the answers we seek.Lord Ira: Enough of this nons-Lord Gula: Very wellLord Ira: What are you trying to accomplish here, Lord Gula?Lord Gula: Honestly this case is annoying because of the lack of information we have. Right now we need as much intel as we can( and I am a bit curious as well)The other three lords kept silent and didn't really reject either.Lisa:( I want to say a few things now that I have done my investigation but something feels off. Lets me first see what is going to happen)Soon we were taken to an incredibly huge room. And right in the middle
I've hit a wall.. a huge wall.. a wall known as..The unknown. I can't seem to know what it is and I fear it might be my best or my worst choice. I keep hesitating and keep on contemplating. That unknown wall everyone keep on stupidly stumble upon everytime. Expectations, future, responsibilities; all unknown and unseen yet haunting. What must one do to choose? What must one pray to acquire. Are choices correct? Are decisions true? What motivates you? What keeps you alive? Are humans actually dead fishes? Continuously flowing, a goal without a choice. What is fate? Why does it bound us? What is destiny? Is it worth sacrificing one's happiness? What are questions to begin with? Why must they exist? Are we ever so doubtful? Why can't we just walk true? Walk pass the wall I walk away but still can't seem to ignore it. I swam across but always found myself on the same side of the river. When can the wall break down so I may cross it. Why is change so slow? Why is change so hard? Why am
How absurd! I cannot fathom just how insane these people are that they would do such a thing. Ten Million souls. That is seriously not a small number at all. And they said that they are destroyers of worlds? Does that mean that there are other worlds besides our own that we do not have a single idea of? And if what she said is true… Then does that mean that Galahad too, a long time back, was responsible for the death of Ten Million lives!Lord Drago: Your words seem to carry a lot of secrets, Spier.Spier: I acknowledge you as my master but you shouldn’t really pry on things you are not ready to know. You don’t want to know what happened to the last person who was a bit too curious.Ban: The last person?
Spier: To think you would wear it so confidently not even knowing what it is and what its abilities are. You are merely wishing for death. Lord Drago: How is that possible? Aren't all fragments of the Holy grail supposed to possess the symbol of the Holy Grail in them? Why is it that the ring does not? Are you mistaken? Spier: Obviously you’re just all too ignorant. Boy, set your senses on the ring and try to draw out its power. Ban: Set my senses? You mean like concentrating my Spiritual Sense on the ring? Spier: What else? Ban: Umm let me try. I closed my
Ban: The Zodiacs of Hell? Are you saying that Galahad is one of them, A Fallen Angel too?Lord Drago: Although the enlightenment that was shown to me when I formed the contract was short, it was enough for me to know at least much. That is why I had originally tried to keep it a secret and had thoughts of firstly asking you since you also had formed a contract with one but I find it odd that you did not receive the same revelation I did.Ban: Well I don't- huh? What?Lord Anex: What is it?Ban: Umm Lord Anex. Can you do me a favor and have everyone else except Lord Drago and Sir Murea, be transported somewhere save.Melinda: What! No
-Centuries agoA frail looking demon was on his bed waiting for his day to come. Along with him in his room were two young boys having a good time with each other.The Old Demon looked over to the two children playing and smiled a gentle smile like he no longer had any regrets. He called out to them and they both came running and jumped on his bed.“Father, are you going to tell us another story?’’ said one of the boys and the other one too was eagerly listening to what the old man had to say.“Haha, you two are always so full of energy, it makes me happy to be able to pass on my inheritance to you two. Although it makes me sad I might not be able to see you grow
Murea: Demons are unique beings that possess abilities and talents only a few humans will ever have. Although we are small in numbers, we have never fallen behind. When a demon is born, his lineage and what he inherits from his parents are decided and he will live with what he is born with for the rest of his life. No one can change that. At Least that's what we thought. Not many know of this but in the Avareza Familia hidden archives, lies so many secrets that are not known to anyone.Lord Drago: True, the Avareza domain is full of secrets and it was a spoken rule since the past that the other Lords shall not pry on these secrets.Ban: There is something like that?Murea: Yes.Even i don’t know the details of it and i fear Even Lord Lucifer knows very
Grey: I don’t know and I can't explain it well but it feels pretty clear that I don't have a feeling of greater loyalty towards Master Diego than to Lord Ban. Diego: Why is he calling me Master? Is that the effect of the contract too? Ban: Yes, as long as you havent change the conditions on your slave, he is forced to say and do things that he doesnt like or really mean. Kind of like a default setting if I have put it that way. Diego: That sounded really harsh.. Lord Drago: So how can we really prove that the contract had weakened? Before I could say anything Galahad just emerged out of my shadows and took a deep look at Gr
Diego: Huh! A slave? Can someone explain. Ban: No No, you misunderstand. You’re not going to be slave, youre going to be a slave holder. Diego: I really don’t know what any of you have been talking about since I was explaining a few things to my friend here. Lord Anex: Friend? Explain? So you brought someone who doesn't even know the current situation. Diego: Lord Anex, I am so sorry, I didn’t mean any harm.. Ban: No it's fine.It was my idea. The more the better. Sir Murea, you don't have to do that. Murea: Haha, my Son is scared.
A while back….The day after the incident with Murea.I wonder what I should do now. Last night was quite a hassle and we have hit a major clue on the case that happened two years ago. I will get back to training to make sure to reach the top at the Inter Academy Competition.“Ban…”Ban: This voice.. Is that you Galahad?Galahad: Yes, It is me.Ban: What is it? It's rare to hear you speak up. Did something happen?Galahad, my familiar would always stay in my shadow and would speak to me once a blue moon through telepathy. Even though he i
