Anime chat group: Second dimension heroines fight for me

Their eyes had a subtle, cool, and languid quality.

Perhaps this difference led to this different reaction.

Slowed down for a while.

Frillie suppressed the strange feeling she had just experienced, and a... sly smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Then, let's begin our study of magic!"

……

"This really is another world..."

Utaha Kasumigaoka, still in a daze, wandered around under Midori's watchful eye.

Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree is so real.

There are also those small creatures that appear by chance and have characteristics that are clearly different from the common animals we are familiar with.

She is not a being who shocked the other world.

I never imagined I would have such a special experience one day.

Kato Megumi, standing beside him, seemed very calm.

She knew that there seemed to be a deep connection between Kato Megumi and Rei Ao.

So she tentatively asked, "Kato Megumi, aren't you surprised?"

Kato Megumi glanced at her and said calmly, "No, I'm always surprised every time I travel to another world."

"what?"

Kasumigaoka was stunned.

That expressionless face and emotionless voice... she couldn't see any surprise in him.

He thought Kato Megumi was just being polite.

Seeing that Kato Megumi was no longer speaking, Kasumigaoka didn't say anything more.

Ji Cui, standing to the side, was even more at a loss for words.

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

She could only turn her attention to the scenery of the other world.

until.

"Help…"

A weak female voice came from not far away.

"Did you hear that? It sounds like a cry for help."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped and asked the two.

Kato Megumi pointed in a direction: "Over there."

Cui pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go take a look."

The three walked toward the direction from which the cries for help came.

Under a tree trunk behind a bush, they saw a girl in tattered linen clothes leaning weakly, clutching her arm.

"Blood!"

Kasumigaoka's eyes widened.

Bright red blood was dripping down the girl's arm that she was covering.

Her first instinct was to rush forward and check on her injuries.

But Cui frowned and drew her sword.

Just as she was about to say something, Kato Megumi raised her hand to stop her.

"?"

Cui was puzzled.

But Kato Megumi simply shook her head slightly.

"..."

As a woman of Lingqing's own, Cui chose to trust Kato Megumi's judgment and took no action.

"How are you?"

Kasumigaoka knelt down in front of the girl and said anxiously, "Let me see how serious your wound is."

"Mother…"

The girl, stunned, called out the word "Mom" to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

This immediately broke her heart.

She couldn't imagine why a child would be injured like that while alone in the forest.

I glanced at the gruesome wound.

Kasumigaoka quickly bent down and used all her strength to tear strips of cloth from her skirt to help bandage her wound.

That is, in that instant when he lowered his head.

A crimson glint flashed in the little girl's eyes.

Shark-like sharp teeth slowly approached her neck from her open mouth.

Just now.

Whoosh!

A sudden, sharp sound broke through the air.

A needle-like glint quickly approached the little girl's eyes.

boom!

Kasumigaoka felt that there were many warm red and white things on her body.

He raised his head, looking bewildered.

All I could see was... a headless body.

It's that kid!

Her head exploded with blood and flesh!

A single ice crystal pierced through the tree.

"what…"

Kasumigaoka stood there dumbfounded.

His mouth was agape on his blood-covered face.

They were so terrified that they couldn't even make a sound.

They even forgot about the nausea and gagging.

"I killed her."

Ling Qing's voice came through.

Kasumigaoka turned her head blankly, her terrified eyes still filled with confusion.

It was Ling Qing who killed that child.

"Why…"

Her voice trembled along with her body.

Ling Qing had not yet spoken.

Frilian had already come to her.

He raised his staff to stop the girl's still flailing right hand.

He then solemnly declared, "She is not human; she is a man-eating demon."

While talking.

A beam of light pierced through the girl's heart from her staff.

Her outstretched hand also froze completely.

Then, his body gradually turned into specks of light and dissipated.

This bizarre scene also brought some rationality back to Kasumigaoka, who had been stunned.

Simply because the death of a normal human being leaves behind a corpse.

Ling Qing stepped forward and extended her hand to Kasumigaoka.

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at herself and saw that the blood on her body had disappeared. She paused for a moment and then placed her hand on Rei's hand.

He was pulled up.

However, due to weak legs, I almost lost my balance.

Ling Qing put one hand on her shoulder and said, "You don't need to think too much. Just like what Frilian said, that child wasn't human, but a man-eating demon."

"...man-eating demons."

Kasumigaoka's unconscious murmur.

"Not only that."

"The vulnerability and hurt she showed you just now were just to lure you into getting close without any defenses."

Frilian explains the concept of the existence of demons to them.

Demons are creatures that have an appearance similar to humans and speak the same language.

But in reality, all these behaviors are evolutionary means to deceive and prey on humans.

The great mage Vlame defined talking monsters as "demons".

The ancestors of the demon race were monsters that lured humans by making cries of "Help me!" from the shadows.

Demons, like other demons, do not have the habit of raising children.

Children spend the vast majority of their time in solitude after they are born.

They are creatures that take loneliness for granted.

Therefore, the demon race has no concept of family.

However, when their lives are threatened, demons will say things like "Mom" or "I have another child" to gain human sympathy.

Even if they don't understand what these words mean at all.

Just like that demon from before.

She cried out for help, calling out to Kasumigaoka Utaha for her mother.

It was all just a ploy by the Demon King to gain sympathy and lower humanity's guard, making it easier and faster for him to prey on them.

Demons merely mimic human behavior.

In reality, they are beasts that are impossible to communicate with.

Any negotiations or communication with the demons are pointless.

Because everything the demons do and say is a means to kill humans.

Moreover, demons can survive even without eating humans.

But they still tend to prey on humans.

That's why Frillie knew so much.

It was because she had seen and killed too many demons, so many that she couldn't remember them all.

She had everything taken away by the demons.
