On the way back, I kept imagining how the magic lesson could have gone differently.

"Oh pedophile, I'm a girl!"

Poof!

'Gone...just like that...'

"kuku, what's got you so down? You're going to be my slave for life, so cheer up!"

"*mumble* Of course, 'master' I'll make sure to serve you right up until I shove a knife so far up your-"

"oh, and the contract also forbids you from harming me in anyway, on pain of death. You also have to protect me by any means necessary, even at the expense of your own life."

"I didn't read any of that!"

"It was in the fine print."

"...Y-you...only you..."

"kuku, what about me?"

I looked him in the eyes, and for the first time he looked scared.

"you're the only person who I'll enjoy torturing."

"k-ku, let's not be hasty..."

The rest of the walk we made in silence.

When we were almost back at the camp, an earsplitting yell broke the cold dew of the morning.

"Sh~ess!"

I was then tackled from behind by a human sandbag. After tumbling head over heels a couple times, we slowed down enough for me to get a good look at my attacker. A cute twelve year old with blond hair and blue eyes, taller than most boys her age. After the adorable angel detached herself from me, I stood up and dusted myself off.

"Excuse me, but who are you?"

For some reason, the girl pouted. "ohhh shess, don't tell me you forgot already! I'm Rena! Re-na! I'm your sister, and we're currently in captivity."

"I see... but, if you're in captivity, how come you're out here all alone...?"

"Silly Shess, I can't get away with mister pedo here around!"

"I see... he really does pay close attention to young girls."

"ku! I told you to stop calling me that! I'm not a pedo! i swear!"

Rena and I fell over laughing, and she wrapped her arms around me. At that moment, I noticed. Her soul, which was five or six times more powerful than everyone else. And she flinched when she felt my ice-cold skin.

"Shess! You're cold as ice, we need to warm you up right away!"

Followed by the old man, Rena took me into the hut where this girl 'Shess' and Rena slept last night.

Before I killed Shess and stole her body.
