Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~

e.

Onzada-kun could use ‘Ki’, but he was an ordinary human, unlike us.
And I knew the limits of a ‘human’ well.

Although it was quite a good match to watch, why I ended up joining the battle in the end is because Yuuki-kun had taken some damage from me previously, and it was different for us, who were of a class able to oppose an army alone.

Yuuki-kun was also human, but he’d taken a step into the realm of ‘monsters’,

 

Still…… I was unable to use a lot of magic power, but I think that if I just use ‘Light’, I could strengthen Onzada-kun.

Comparing magic, humans can’t compare with me, a Demon.
Once Yuuki-kun ran out of magic power, or my bodily condition recovered…… we would win.

“…… Let’s go, Onzada-kun.”

“…… Don’t push it.”

“Of course.
……[Let there be light]…”

“Owaah!?”

My magic enveloped Onzada-kun’s body in light.

Maybe it would improve his physical strength and defense? I don’t know why I could use my Demonic power like this, but it’s convenient and I have no complaints.

 

…… Something about this “magic” stimulates my memories.

I wonder what it is…… It seems that I used it all the time.
With this power of mine…… I was fighting?

…… Vampires…? Stupid humans…? Something…… a pitch black…… beast……

 

“Yuzu!”

 

’

As I was swept up in my own thoughts, Onzada-kun cried out to me.

But Yuuki-kun hadn’t moved.
Then what…… I casually looked around.
Nearby…… there was a small shadow that ran up to me from a few meters away.

 

“Yuzuuuuu! You should disappear!!!!”

“Matsuri!?”

 

Between the pressure from Yuuki-kun and my magic, how was Matsuri alright? How did I not notice her until she got this close?

I could feel that ‘presence’ from Matsuri quite strongly now.

I see…… is that ‘presence’, that thing which is so afraid of ‘me’? It went and gave an unreasonable and distorted [Power] to the human Matsuri.

But… why was it so afraid of me……?

Demons were the natural enemy of human beings, but ‘me’, do I have the kind of [Power] that a [Being] that is worshipped by human beings through shrine maidens needs to be afraid of me?

And the only way to fight against it…… power.

 

That’s right…… I fought against that ‘pitch-black beast’.

 

Matsuri was slowly approaching me.
My thoughts were accelerated, so I could see her approaching as if in slow motion, but my body can only move at the same rate as a normal person.

I could see Onzada-kun trying to rush towards me, shouting something.

I wonder if that small knife in Matsuri’s hands could kill me……?

In that slow-moving world, I watched as the sharp edge buried itself into my stomach little by little, Matsuri’s smile filled with madness in front of me.

“…………”

However, I’m not looking at Matsuri.

Behind her, I saw that [Black Cat] appear.

Those silver eyes that stared at me…… I see…… that’s how it is.

That was… [Dark Beast]……

 

’

“…… Have I kept you waiting…… Rinne……”

The air…… no, the world, squirmed and shook.

An enormous magic power, several times that of the total that I’d used up until now, was unleashed from my whole body.

The color drained from the world, cracking and collapsing around me, as it all fell off.

 

As the ‘presence’ was blown away, Yuuki-kun was left dumbstruck and dropped the sword out of his hand……

As I ran out, Onzada-kun’s crying face cracked away with the world……

 

**KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN…**

 

Along with the sound of a tuning fork, the colorless world disappeared and faded away, and I saw a clear blue sky.

I saw a woman’s hands, which were outstretched towards the sky, wrapped in a dress of black and silver lace that flowed with the breeze, her hair like golden thread waved in the wind.

Ah, that’s right…… it’s me.

 

“……… Yurushia ……”
