Understand humans!

"By the way, how many years can humans live?"

"About a hundred years. I've never seen a human older than this."

“…What? Isn’t Aura really fond of humans?”

"Eh?"

"I've talked about so many of the good qualities of humans."

"Eh?"

"He spends his whole life loving, has a strong learning ability, and cherishes time. He lives a wonderful life in the limited time he has."

"Eh?!"

"Human beings are really interesting creatures."

"Eh!!"

Oops, screwed again.

Aura had a bad feeling. It seemed that ever since she put a weight on the scale of obedience, which in turn distorted her soul, nothing she did went smoothly. She didn't know whether it was bad luck or there was something wrong with her way of thinking.

"Aura, tell me, do you hate humans?"

The sentence structure matched, the magic was activated, and Aura couldn't help but speak out her inner thoughts.

"I feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart. I want to tear them apart and eat them. I want to see them suffer and feel hopeless."

“Stop stop stop!!!”

The little white elf looked up in horror, then puffed up his cheeks and said angrily:

"Don't hurt humans, Aura!"

Chi-

Obey the sound of the magic being activated for the second time.

Ruined.

Aura's heart was filled with despair. She should have thought of this long ago. Although the young Fulilian was not as hostile to the demons as she would be in the future, and would not give an order to let her die directly, with the mind of a young child, she might unconsciously say something even more ridiculous.

The demons' hostility towards humans is innate, and asking her to restrain her instincts from now on is more painful than killing her.

Is there any torture in the world more cruel than this one for the demons?

"Aura, go try to understand humans!"

Well, here comes the more brutal torture.

"Even as an elf, after hearing your story, I can roughly understand how short-lived humans are and how brilliantly they shine in their short lives. You are a good demon, so you can definitely understand that."

The obedience magic was activated for the third time.

Chapter 3: Can Reconciliation Be Possible?

It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!

The moment the magic was activated for the third time, a pain that Aura had never felt before burst out in his head.

Aaaaaahhhh!!!

She almost screamed as she stood up, got on all fours, and crawled like a wild beast, away from Frillian, trying her best to avoid this elf who might give her the next ridiculous order at any time.

Obedience magic is not wish magic. Although you can give any command to the obedient according to your wishes, whether the command can be completed depends on the obedient's ability.

Otherwise, Aura could just give a soldier an order to kill Frillian. Could she expect this soldier to burst out with strength comparable to that of a demon king and kill Frillian in one blow?

Similarly, for the demons, over thousands of years, no demon has ever been able to understand humans.

For creatures like demons, which are born only by mimicking humans and hunting humans for food, it is impossible for them to understand humans, just like it is impossible for humans to understand what insects are thinking.

What will happen to the magic operator if he is given an order that is impossible to complete?

Aura had never thought of this situation before.

But now, she is experiencing it firsthand.

Her head is about to explode!!!

"Whirring whirring--"

Aula's lungs made a tearing sound like a bellows and felt hot as if they were burning. Her leg joints ached from running so fast and her muscles gradually became weak, but even so she did not dare to stop.

I can only try my best to stay away from Fulilian.

"Hoo-oh, better."

I don't know if it's because of the distance that the effect of the magic has weakened, or if she has gradually adapted to the effects of the magic.

Aura finally gained the ability to think in pain.

"Damn you, Fulilian, I will never let you go!!!"

"Until we meet next time... No, there won't be a next time."

Aura showed a sinister and terrifying expression. Hatred made her furious. When her murderous intent reached a certain point, she screamed almost to vent:

"I will never appear in front of you in my life!"

Sa——

It is absolutely impossible to confront Fulilian head-on.

No demon with any sense would do such a stupid thing as trying to hit a rock with an egg.

Although his magic power is stronger than hers now, with the obedience magic, Fulilian can kill her with just one word.

As a wise and brave demon, Aura will always make the wisest decision.

"Escape... there is no other way."

"I'm sorry, Lord Demon King!" Aura clasped his hands together and apologized to the Demon King, who was unknown at the moment.

"In order for the weak Aura to survive, you should obediently die at the hands of the future Fulilian."

She tried.

Then gave up.

The corrupt sage Guval, the immortal Bezer, the demon general Azalt, His Majesty the Demon King... and many other demon sages who will die at the hands of Fulilian in the future. Aura will remember your bravery and live on tenaciously.

As for obeying the magic and dying together with Frillian, Aura really couldn't do such a thing.

It's entirely a matter of strength and has nothing to do with attitude.

After giving up praying, Awula calmed down.

If you think about it carefully, her future is still very free.

Although the obedience spell on her body could not be removed, there was no need for contact. As long as she hid far enough, the world was so big that the probability of her meeting Frillian was very small. As long as they did not meet face to face, Frillian would not be able to give her the next order.

Once the thinking changes, the road ahead suddenly becomes wider.

Then, there is another important question.

She was hungry.

I feel tired again.

Already collapsed on the ground.

Aula looked around. She had completely run out of the jungle and reached the main road. There were footprints and long marks of carriage wheels on the dirt road. This road should be the main road between the two towns, and people should often travel on this road.

"How far have I run?"

In Aura's memory, because of the command to "understand humans", her consciousness was in extreme tearing pain. In order to escape that pain, she instinctively ran away. Her instinct for survival was aroused, and she ran all the way until this moment, when her body was almost at its limit.

With the physique of the demons, they can overdraw their bodies to the point where they don't even have the strength to take a deep breath. This is definitely more than ten kilometers.

"It doesn't matter. As long as there are humans, there will be food. With the recovery ability of the demons, this level of overdraft can be recovered by eating half full and resting for an hour or two."

Aula struggled to get up and limped along the main road bit by bit, stopping from time to time to rest and catch his breath, and then he forced himself to keep going with his willpower.

"Wait, there's something troublesome."

She suddenly realized something and looked around, but there was no suitable cover.

tear-

Aula tore off the red long skirt tied around her waist, leaving only the super short white skirt underneath. She then tore the torn long skirt open along the seams to obtain a piece of cloth two people high.

hiss--

Very carefully, Aura wrapped the red cloth around her horns, making sure no keratin was exposed, and then wrapped the cloth around her head, covering her purple hair as well.

Just like the conservative traditional clothing in some human areas, Aura covered all the features of himself that belonged to the demon race.

"Growing horns is really troublesome."

Aura realized this problem as early as when Fulilian recognized her as a demon at a glance. The two pairs of horns on her head were an obvious symbol of the demon to other races.

There is no need to distinguish carefully to know her identity.

It didn't matter when she was wandering in the demon territory before, but now she is a lone demon, lurking in the human territory, and those two horns are very conspicuous.

"It would be convenient if it was sawed off - just kidding."

Aura smiled. Few demons could appreciate humor. She didn't really understand it, but she saw it from humans. Demons spent their lives imitating humans more accurately, and she was no exception.

If you saw off a horn, it will be very painful. There are certain nerves inside it, just like human teeth. The outer layer of keratin is insensitive, but the inner growth layer will be very painful if touched.

She wouldn't do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

Dada-da-da-da

The footsteps never stopped. Although Aula kept leaning against the trees on the roadside to rest, his walking speed was not slow.

However, after walking for an hour or two, I still didn't meet any pedestrians.

This made Aula's idea of ​​having a good meal come to nothing.

"Eh? Isn't there someone here?"

Suddenly, at a turning point in the road, a little person with orange pigtails fell to the side of the road.

"died?"

It was also because there was no sound of footsteps, otherwise Aura would have been able to spot her from a long distance.

The girl on the ground was wearing a long white dress that was dirty from rolling around on the ground. The corners of her clothes were torn as well. She must have been fleeing from somewhere and looked extremely disheveled.

Aura turned over and revealed her face which was pressed underneath. From a human perspective, she was quite cute. Although covered with dust, her pretty face was still charming and lovable.

Anyone who saw her would be tempted to try their best to help her.

But what does this have to do with Aura, a demon?

"It looks like he's dead. I'm starting."

Aula untied the veil that was wrapped around the lower half of her face, took the hand of the girl with orange pigtails, and put it into her mouth.

As expected, she bit her wrist.

"It really doesn't work."

Aula felt pain and wiped the blood that flowed from the two blood holes on his wrists. He stared at the orange-haired girl for a long time with regret.

She thought she could deceive the obedience magic, but as expected, how could something she didn't even believe in deceive the obedience magic based on the soul?

He could hear the girl's heartbeat. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, the command "do not harm humans" made it impossible for him to bite a living human.

The obedience magic twisted her will, causing her thoughts of biting off the orange human girl's hand to turn into biting her own wrist.

"Then we have to find another way."

Aura turned the orange-haired girl's body over and began to unbutton her clothes.
