Hey, Chapter 10 is here

Special thanks for Tivanenk (^_^)/

========================================

I just told her to not do anything reckless, and yet, she already did in a few minutes!

*BOOOM*

I was surprised by the second explosion sound. D-did Kiel do this? I mean, I know that she's strong, but I'm still worried! And too many explosions will destroy this building!.....

.......Could the reason the building caught fire in the game is because of Kiel?! Doesn't that mean the story will still go on just like in the game?! Uh.... this is bad..... I have to find her first!

I'm searching the way out ....in this room, there is no window, or any object.... all of our belongings were taken by the slave trader boss.....

*BOOOOM*

The floor is shaking, accompanied by a loud sound. I have to get out from here quickly! But how? Just when I begin to ponder, I could hear a voice from outside.

"...kiddo! Where are you?!"(???)

Is that Allan?

"Blonde beast kiddo who's gonna grow big boob when she grows up! Where are you?!" (???)

Yep! That's Allan alright.

"My name is Rune, you pervert! At least remember my name!"(Rune)

I scream near the door, hoping he would hear my voice.

"Rune, kiddo, are you in there?!"(Allan)

"Yes! Hurry up and open the door!"(Rune)

As I said that, I could hear clicking sound, and in a minute, the door is open. I could see that Allan's face is as white as a sheet.

"Y-you have to stop that demon kid! If this keeps on going, we will buried along with this building!"(Allan)

"Yes, I know! Where is she?! No, wait, I can sense her."(Rune)

"W-what do you mean sense her? Never mind that, she's upstairs, killin- no, she's annihilating them!"(Allan)

At Allan's last words, I run as fast as I can to the stairs. There are many holes in the hall's floor. It's as if someone firing a cannon from floor above and there is fire everywhere. The building is caught on fire! Since I have [Move of The Beast], I could move quickly and nimbly. I jump to the side of the hall avoiding all of the big holes on the floor. I reach the stairs in no time.

Because of [Evig Contract] we can sense each other's position.

I can sense Kiel's location. It's the room where those slave traders appraised our value, their boss's room. I could see more and more dead bodies as I'm getting near. Many of them have their body crushed. I should be scared of this view, but I'm not..... somehow, I feel as if I'm looking at a crushed, life size doll.

"Kiel!"(Rune)

I call her name as soon I reach her location.

"Rune! You came to me! I'm so happy"(Kiel)

She smiles at me blissfully. On contrary, her surrounding is a complete picture of horror. Blood is plastered everywhere, dead bodies are piling up, and in the center of that room, Kiel is standing while holding down the slave trader leader.

"Kiel...."(Rune)

I could hear my voice calling her name weakly.

"Rune, this guy choked you before, right? I'm giving him a good beating right now"(Kiel)

Kiel looks at me with eyes of innocent child.

"...kuh..you disgusting creatur-ARGH!."(slave trader boss)

*crack*

Kiel easily twists the slave trader boss' hand. She looked at him with dead eyes.

She twists it even more, then stomps on his hand.

*crack*crack*CRACK*

"AAAAAAARGGHHH!"(slave trader boss)

His hand bends in an unnatural way.

"Why are you screaming? It's your fault for treating Rune poorly, you know?"(Kiel)

"Kiel, please stop"(Rune)

"Why? He deserves this. Actually, he deserve more than this."(Kiel)

"Stop it Kiel. It's too painful to watch."(Rune)

"What are you saying, Rune? This kind of thing isn't so painful. I never screamed when they cut my fingers off one by one or when they crushed every single bone in my fingers."(Kiel)

She stomps at the slave trader boss' feet until their bones are crushed.

*CRACK*

"AAAAAAAAGGGHHH"(slave trader boss)

"Aa~ I used to scream like that too. But once you get used to it, the pain will get dull. It used to be hurt so much"(Kiel)

She looks down at the slave trader boss with emotionless eyes, then takes his finger.

"You know, your underlings used to break my finger one by one first before cutting them. Like this.."(Kiel)

*crack*

"AAAAGH!"(slave trader boss)

"It's only one finger, you know? Not something you should cry about."(Kiel)

"Kiel, please stop! He just choked me a little. Didn't you say you won't randomly attack people?!"(Rune)

"I didn't attack randomly. I'm attacking an enemy."(Kiel)

"........."(Rune)

I know I'm supposed to be scared, but I'm not. Instead of being scared, I'm feeling angry. This is out of control! I'm already reaching my limit! She's just acting like a brat!

"Kiel! Stop this instance!"(Rune)

Kiel and the slave trader leader are stunned by my angry voice.

"Let him go!"(Rune)

"........."(Kiel)

"I said, 'LET HIM GO!'"(Rune)

She slowly lets him go.

"Now come over here and sit!"(Rune)

Meekly, Kiel sits in front of me.

"Sit straight!"(Rune)

"Y-yes!"(Kiel)

"Now, you better hear me out! What you're doing now is just throwing a tantrum! If you're angry and want to avenge what they did to you, don't just go rampage! See this room?! This is a mess! You have to think before act! You could hurt those around you and yourself!"(Rune)

Kiel casts down her eyes as I scold her.

"I know that they did bad things to you and I hate them for that. But you're not alone anymore. You have me... and maybe Allan....and I dislike you for doing something like this."(Rune)

At my last words, Kiel looks in my eyes.

"Do you....hate me now Rune?"(Kiel)

When she said those words, she looks as if she wants to cry.

"I don't hate you, Kiel. I just dislike how you act."(Rune)

"How I... act?"(Kiel)

"Yes, you act like a savage! And I dislike that!"(Rune)

"Savage....."(Kiel)

I took Kiel's hand as I look at her eyes.

"Kiel, do you hate me?"(Rune)

"..........no"(Kiel)

"If I were hurt, would you hate it?"(Rune)

"!?....I.....I-....yes, I would hate it. If I can, I don't want to hurt you."(Kiel)

"But you destroyed this building and I could get hurt because of that. Look at those holes you made, I could accidentally fall in and die"(Rune)

"!?"(Kiel)

"Do you understand what I mean?"(Rune)

"...yes"(Kiel)

"Good, lets get out of this building before it collapses."(Rune)

As I'm about to leave the room, Kiel tugs my hand.

"Would you stay with me if I'm not fighting?"(Kiel)

"I never prohibited you from fighting. It's okay to defend yourself, but not to go rampage like this"(Rune)

"Then, will you stay with me if I ask your permission to fight, right?"(Kiel)

"Um.... you do not exactly need permission from me or anything, but yes, something like that."(Rune)

"You'll be with me?"(Kiel)

"Ah, yeah, I will be with you"(Rune)

"Forever?"(Kiel)

"...yes?"(Rune)

"Then I won't act like this anymore."(Kiel)

Kiel just hugs me happily.

"Good. Now lets go!"(Rune)

Right as I say that, the slave trader boss is already behind Kiel, holding an axe above his head, aiming at her.

"You monster! Dieee!"(slave trader boss)

*Clank*

A knife flies past me from behind, Stabbing the slave trader leader right in his head.

"That's a close call."(???)

I could hear a girl voice's behind me. As I look behind my back, a tall girl with short, light brown hair, shaped green eyes and a nice body is standing behind me.

"This is the first time I see a little girl scolding a rumoured young silver eyed demon. I had a really hard time trying to hold my laughter"(???)

She's wearing a short top and long pants, along with some kind of light breastplate and a little bit of leather armor is covering her arms and legs. When she moves closer, I see a pair of wing, like bird wings with a brown color. Is she a bird-tribe?

"Kena! We already put every kid inside the box!"(???)

Another bird-tribe people shows up.

"Good! I just found the two kids that Allan mentioned, we will immediately depart to the headquarters."(Kena)

"Yes, ma'am."(???)

"Are you Allan's friend?"(Rune)

She smiles at me.

"Not in a million years. Follow me - this building won't hold for long."(Kena)

....

.....

As soon we reach the lowest floor, Allan runs toward us. He looks so worried.

"A-are you alright?! Did you both get hurt?"(Allan)

"We're fine." (Rune)

"*sigh* Good, then. You don't know how worried I was when this kid started blowing up stuff. And you, Kena! You're late! I almost got killed, you know?!"(Allan)

"Hey! Don't blame me! Your drawing is so bad that no one can tell where the place is! What's with these three little scribbles?!"(Kena)

"They're not a scribble! It's a tree!"(Allan)

"Well, even it's a tree, it won't change anything! We're inside the forest! Everything is a tree here!"(Kena)

"Then, why don't you follow the path I drew?!"(Allan)

"Like I just said, your drawing is horrible! No one able to guess what is up and what is down! You're lucky that we spotted some smoke when we were searching for you!"(Kena)

Allan and Kena keep bickering at each other.

".......Stop.....it....both of you"(???)

With a single word, they both fell silent. A boy around 14-16 with dark red hair and tan skin. It's seems he's also a demon-tribe since he has a pair of horns and demon-like tail. His eyes are yellow like a lion.

"We....need to...hurry"(???)

"Yes, sir!"(everyone in unison)

Just who is this guy?

All of the birdmen tie themselves to a big box, which is full of the other kids.

"Kena....carry Allan"(???)

"With pleasure~"(Kena)

Kena just smile like a devil and Allan immediately pales.

"N-nonononono! This brute will definitely mess me up!"(Allan)

"Aw.... don't say that Allan. We are best friends, aren't we?"(Kena)

You guys just bickered a moment ago.

"Hell no! There is no way I'm befriending an unattractive, ugly gir-"(Allan)

*SMACK*

Right before Allan finishes his words, Kena punches him in the stomach.

"Let me give you trip in the air that you like so much, hm~"(Kena)

"......h-help....."(Allan)

"You.....have wings....can you.....fly?"(???)

".......yes"(Kiel)

"Then......carry her"(???)

"With pleasure!"(Kiel)

Kiel with a happy face suddenly carries me with princess carry. No! Not the princess carry! My dignity.......

I could feel my face getting red because of embarrassment.

"Lets us.......depart"(???)

With that signal, everyone starts flapping their wings. After a few meters above the building. That boy orders his escort to stop and points his finger toward the slave trader building.

"............[Fire Flower]...."(???)

He just casts a spell and then a single, thin light flies from his finger. For a few seconds, nothing happen. Then...

*FIZZZ*

As if the building is being eaten by little red bubble, the next thing that happens is the bubble explodes very quickly.

*BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*

It leaves behind sparks just like a firework. When the explosion finishes, what's left is black debris.

"Let's.....go back...."(???)

Just like that, we continue our trip.

========================================

Since I'm entering exam periode for the last two week starting today. In mean time, I will slow down my pace. It might take me 3 to 4 days to write one chapter.
