Fleeing the ox, Koute and Corlin found themselves in the middle of a closed forest, in which one could not even see the stars that hover over the night. The beast chased them, destroying all the trees in its path, easily camouflaging itself in the darkness thanks to its extremely black color. If it weren't for the noise it made, it would certainly be lost sight of.

The distance between the two and the ox narrowed with each step, it was clear who was the fastest. Without enough fighting power, they ran for a breach. Until they arrived in an even more closed part of the forest.

Koute then took a deep breath and while running, he stamped his foot hard on the floor and a large curtain of dust rose. He and Corlin disappeared in the middle of it, the bovine was totally confused, while he hunted tirelessly for them. From then on, the roots were very thick and most were out of the ground, so it was impossible for the ox to continue destroying everything.

The truth is that after Koute lifted the dust curtain, he took Corlin in his arms and climbed into one of the trees beyond. He had bet that the ox would not chase them, because of the great roots. What bothered you most was the fact that you only had one ox, the other had given up?

The two stayed there on top of the tree until the beast left the vicinity. They then descended, and Corlin decided to devise a strategy to get out of the forest safely: they could risk going back through the forest or go further into the forest to find a mountain, which lay further down, and look for a cave to spend the night.

- What do you think? Asked Corlin.

- Returning through the forest is suicide, especially since we are not sure where the second ox is. - Said Koute.

-…

- I would rather look for a cave and wait for the sun to rise. If they hunt at night it is because they are hungry, that is, they cannot hunt during the day.

- We will certainly find a cave, the problem is if they are already inhabited ...

- Corlin, could you tell me that beasts live around here?

- I don't think you understand ... there are no animals that live in these caves, but humans usually inhabit them for a night or two during their hunts.

- I think we better hide your horns, so ...

- Why?! She screamed in agitation as she held her horns in her hands.

- If we hide them, humans will not discriminate against you for being a demon. So if we find them, we can spend the night with them without any problems.

-… - Corlin stuck the tears in his eyes, he even looked like a child.

- Don't look like a stray dog, we won't cut him, at least for now ...

- For a while!?

- It's a joke, calm down.

-… you are a demon, tormenting me over and over. - She said as she released her horns.

- Those words are strange, coming from you ...

- But how do you intend to hide them? They are considered to be great even among demons.

- ... it is true, this pair is no less than 30 centimeters ...

- It is not!? - He was proud and his nose stuck up.

- So we can only cut them ...

- Didn't you say you were kidding ?!

- Well, sometimes we have to go back with the word, I will prepare the knife.

- No! There has to be another way!

-… actually… there is.

- I do anything!

- Okay, try not to complain later.

Koute then took a pile of leaves and some vines. Corlin waited for him to finish, doubting what he was up to.

- I think it's enough. - Koute said after returning with another heap in his hands and placing it there.

- What is all this for?

- For me to synthesize. You said you were going to do anything, right?

- As long as it doesn't involve my power ...

- Don't worry, he's not part of the plan.

- But what are you going to synthesize leaves for?

- You know that dryads have big horns and are very beautiful, right?

- Yes, they are easily found in forests.

- Yes, it would not be strange if one sought help after having his house destroyed by an unknown beast ... - He held out his hands and began to synthesize the leaves that started to glow blue.

Corlin looked at him with eyes almost popping out and his hands tingling. - Don't tell me you !?

- I'm done.

- No, not really!

- I remember one: "I do anything."

- You can only be a demon!

-…

In the end, she accepted. It turns out that Koute synthesized an outfit so that Corlin could disguise himself as a dryad, but the garments were just a bikini that covered only the nipples and panties that covered only that part ... so you should be able to understand why the girl was so hesitant.

Anyway, she decided to change behind a tree, so that Koute wouldn't see her naked. It took a while, but it was long enough for the young man to make a work around with some leaves. Basically, he pretended to synthesize the leaves, but stopped halfway, creating the lamp; suck this Einstein!

She came walking while holding one arm with a flushed face, still trying to look away from Koute. Her hair was a beautiful contrast to the full breasts that were almost completely exposed, if the leaves that covered them tore… What a distant dream! As demons came from hell, they would normally freeze, but Corlin's shame made her sweat.

- How ... How am I? Corlin asked hesitantly.

- Not all the money in the world pays for what I see. Poor readers of that novel, who can't see what I see.

-…

- Anyway, wear this here. - He held out a coat and skirt made of leaf, - If things continue this way, I will not be able to control myself.

- If you had that, why didn't you speak before !?

- We're out of time ... just get a quick look.

- What's it?

- I just noticed the presence of something very strong coming here.

Is the presence that Koute felt, human? Or maybe a demon? It is not known! We are only sure that it is powerful enough to prevent a young man from observing Corlin's cuteness!
