i cant believe i have to make a choice on how someone is punished wait why is she  looking at me like that like she would rather die then live. i sigh then tell them my choice.

i truly cant say what your plan is if this is a test or not but oh well if you truly will let me grant me the option of taking her with me on my journey it resolves your problems and mine at the same time.(me)

how so?(elf king)

you don't want her in your city and out of the way while i need a teacher for my companions you see i got the skill speech comprehension because i am the so called hero but the other two dont and they only know our native tongue and this can also pay me back for dragging us here with no way back home.(me)

hahahaha okay you have a deal this demon will be under my command however whatever she does will be on me as well so watch her.(elf king)

i was about to say something when i got a notification.

you have been made the demon lords daughter

master depending on how you treat her she will either

benefit you or betray you so be aware of this when

dealing with her in the future

so can we have a room to stay in we have traveled a long way in a few hours so we need to rest and think about our future plans.(me)

the king nodded and he looked at his daughter she understood what he was doing and told us to follow her i grabbed the demon girl by the arm and started to pull her she struggled at first then started to follow without complaint the girl led us to our room rex and jack didnt even hesitate they entered the large four bedroom then laid onto each bed. i let go of the demon girl and pointed into the room she silently walked in and climbed onto a bed i looked at the girl then asked.

well since i havent gotten your name yet will you please introduce yourself?(me)

my name is may everson princess of the elven kingdom and its nice to finally say it but you haven't properly introduced yourself either.(may)

oh sorry about that my full name is grim silversmith soldier and now hero pleased to know your name.(me)

the girl blushed and walked off rex and jack was looking at me at their beds smiling at each other.

well our little grim has found a girlfriend i wish i was young again.(jack)

ya if i was lucky as him i wouldnt need to go to strip clubs every shore leave.(rex)

oh shut up already.(me)

i felt my face become warm while walking into the room i sat across from the girl and started to look her over.

do you need something or are you just having indecent thoughts like the ape you are?(demon girl)

wow you are a lively one that's for sure but that's okay i dont mind but there is something she must understand i will not go down if she does something stupid but if she needs help i will lend a hand we are stuck with each other after all until all this is settled and if you would like i could try to get that collar off of you.(me)

the girls face filled up with joy with that and nodded i came close to her and used inspect on the collar a notification popped up describing it.

[/

okay i will get it off of you in the near future but i need to find a way to control mana before i can until then will you teach those two over there how to speak in your language along with elven.(me)

sure but how am i going to do that?(demon girl)

i thought for a few seconds then thought of a way i went over to the desk and pulled out a piece of paper and pen then wrote down the American alphabet with spaces under them for the girl to fill in. i ripped the page out of the note book and brought it over to the demon girl.

okay this is our alphabet write down your alphabet under each letter once you have done that come tell me i will tell you the other step of my plan oh and dont approach rex alone lets just say he likes women.(me)

she nodded then walked over to the desk and started writing after a few minutes she finally came over to me and showed me it. the letters looked weird but almost similar to ours.

okay now is the next part, i pulled out a voice recorder from my inventory. now you should saw each one from A to Z.(me)

she looked confused by this but did it anyway once that was done i walked over to two i threw the recorder to them.

this was their alphabet listen to it and learn their language jack nodded while rex gave me a dirty look. i walked over to my bed and started to play around trying to find a way to control mana after a few hours i finally got the notification i wanted.

okay now lets see about that collar i called the girl over to me and tried sensing the mana in it and got another skill.

mana senseable to sense mana in the air or in a object

well this was good and now i could see the lay out of the collar there were pillars made out of mana connecting with the spinal column  okay i need to find out which ones to cut first i don't want to make a mistake while doing this one of the columns was a dark red while others were a lighter color i hope i am right about this.

i sent my mana into the collar and separated the column the girl didn't even twitch at it so it was okay i then started to cut the others when i finally cut the last one the collar fell to the ground. the girl jumped up and down in excitement i smiled a little bit at this jack was watching us while rex was sleeping.

you really did it thank you.(demon girl)

i shrugged and said.

i did this to earn your name.(me)

its mai morning star as you heard from before i am the demon lords daughter.(mai)

okay well i hope you have a pleasant time traveling with us on our journey.(me)

the girl smiled at me and then laid down jack was just shaking his head at me then laid down i was the only one up well i guess i should do the same. damn even in this world i still cant get their faces out of my mind oh well morning will come soon so it will be okay.

i stared to hear footsteps near me so i pretended to be asleep i heard the girl yelp but was interrupted by someone then heard them leave i quickly followed i knew he was a idiot but didnt believe he was at this level i followed rex to the courtyard he held a knife to mai's throat as he led her before he could do anything i interrupted him.

so everything we have gone through and this is what you do.(me)

you were following me weren't you doesnt matter because i am going to get this one and your not going to stop me.(rex)

no he is right i wont let you do this either.(jack)

jack cracked his knuckles and was going to kick rex's ass but i stopped him.

this is my fight jack you have been keeping him under control until now but there is no use he will turn on us as soon as he gets the chance so i will finally put him down.(me)

you think you can little boy.(rex)

you know that if you do this there is no going back.(jack)

ya i know and i truly wish i didn't have to both of you are my only friends and family in this world but i wont lose both of you at the same time.(me)

i cracked my neck and approached rex he let go of mai she started to cough when she finally got her breath back she watched us. approach each other both of us were monsters of our own right this battle will decide which of us is the real monster we pulled our knifes and charged at each other our blades collided each time while we used our other hands to defend and attack each other i caught the king and may watching from the side we locked our blades again and he pulled out another knife i jumped back dodging his strike the edge of it cut my shirt before i could get clear he attacked rapidly as i dodged each attack he backed me up into a corner he attacked with both knife's i stopped one with my knife and the other one i stopped with my bare hand i headbutted him.

he let go of the knife that was in my hand and backed away from me once he recovered he started to attack but it was too late it was already over i blocked his attack and smacked him with my injured hand the knife that was in my hand dug deep  into his neck he put his hand on my shoulder and i watched as the light in his eyes disappeared.

i slowly laid him down and pulled my blade out of his neck i stared up at the sky sun was blocked out by dark clouds as rain started to fall rain mixed with tears fell to the ground everyone stared at me jack walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder with tears in his eyes as well.
