I wake up. As always, Noemi is next to me, looking at me, waiting for me to wake up at the usual time.
To be honest, the next year was all the same. I woke up with Noemi next to me Got dressed, trained for the whole day, only stopping to eat or talk with Noemi, sometimes took a bath other didn't and then went to sleep. We have been getting stronger, no doubt about it but Noemi... has also been getting bolder. She would sometimes slip her hand into my pants at night and I ended up doing so as revenge but she was enjoying so it always ends up not really being a revenge... Anyway, our relationship seems to have gotten to that point where we could get married. Galgo and Mirim as well. At least they already told me, which is already really good.
On a more worrying note, the monster seems extremely passive. It started when he discussed with Kit that night but as the months passed, he got more and more quiet until I barely even heard him. It's as if he never existed. The only way I know he even existed is because I still have my arm and weapon. As both the arm and weapon can be controlled without relying on him, it's all good for now.
But that takes us to the present.

-Seems like working out and increasing my "stats" was really worth it like Kit said. My skills have all increased as well. Except for polearm. I won't be using such things again... I hope.-
Right now, we are all walking out of school. The demons have been losing too many battles and as a result, the humans kept advancing to the point they are now. They have their camp just a few kilometers from the school. This means that we are the last hope of the demon race.
The plan is for all the students to stale for time until the demon king is able to come and wipe them all out with the reinforcements form the islands. Most people of influence have already been transported to those same islands. The castle of the demon king is on the furthest island so he might take up to a whole month if the sea gets too agitated at some point. We are now going to hear the full plan from a general outside. Most likely it's going to be the one from last time.
«HEY! How've you been?» (Diond)
Diond appears from out of nowhere. Looking at him, he seems really stronger. His fur turned silver and his claws seem longer and sharper.
«It seems you are enjoying your life quite a bit huh...» (Diond)
«This? Meh, you could say so.» (Me)
I lift my arm and, along with it, Noemi who was holding onto it.
«You say that but I can see it your face. You are enjoying it quite a bit.» (Diond)
He keeps letting small, controlled laughs out at the end of almost every sentence.
«So, what happened to your fur?» (Me)
He smiles as if saying "I see what you did there".
«I evolved into a silver-back werewolf.» (Diond)
Seeing my confused face, Noemi climbs up to my ear and whispers.
«Some demon races are closer to monsters than others. Those have the possibility of evolving, just like monsters.» (Noemi)
I look at Noemi in shock. I had never heard about monsters evolving so for demons it was even more shocking.
Noemi smiles full a weird kind of malice in response to my shock.
«I heard a legend that says that every living creature can evolve though. Monsters are just more likely to do so.» (Noemi)
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
«I want you to tell me more about it later.» (Me)
Noemi brightly smiles and goes back down, back to holding my arm.
«So, What did you get from that evolution?» (Me)
«Not much to be honest with ya. Boost in speed and power with a weird thing...» (Diond)
Diond stops and a deep concern is shown on his face.
«Don't leave us hanging and finish talking.» (Me)
«Well... I... Can no longer eat meat.» (Diond)
«Huh?» (Me&Noemi)
Noemi and I look at each other and then back at Diond... Then burst out laughing.
' He is that concerned because he can't eat meat? '
Even Kit was laughing while Diond looked at us dumbfounded.
«T-this isn't funny! My life is in danger! I will go crazy without meat!» (Diond)
The three kept laughing for a few more minutes. We then swept away our tears and looked at Diond who had fallen to the ground.
«Don't worry! There's quite a lot of meatless meat out there! You will find something.» (Me)
«I'm starting to hate the moon goddess for giving me this curse/blessing...» (Diond)
Once again, Noemi climbs and whispers to my ear.
«Sometimes, distinguished people receive a blessing from a god related to them. In this case, it's not weird that a werewolf got blessed by the mood goddess.» (Noemi)
«You really have a lot to teach me.» (Me)
«They taught all of this in the classes that YOU MISSED IN THOSE 5 YEARS?!» (Noemi)
«Get away from my ear when you're going to scream! Damn that hurts!» (Me)
Noemi's face goes from wrath directly to "What have I done" and then to " I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it" while looking down, while still holding onto me.
«I'll teach you all when this is over so... I'm sorry.» (Noemi)
«Seriously... what was that...»
Noemi drops to the ground and starts walking slightly ahead of me.
-I should have said something else...-
< Master you made her sad! Do something > (Kit)
' What should I do? I never had to deal with something like this?! '
< Follow your instinct! What does it tell you to do? >
-What it tells...-
Out of nowhere, I grab Noemi and sit her on my shoulders. She doesn't move for half a second but then, instantly bends to hug my head.
I use light armor with some metal plates on certain parts of the body like the chest, belly, thighs, some on the back, back of the upper arm and the back of the hand that I still have. This results in a decent balance of defense and agility while highly prioritizing agility. When I first chose this armor, I thought something like " If they can't hit me, then the defense is useless but just in case, I better have some.
On the other hand, Noemi uses a tight armor completely focused on agility which means... I can feel almost everything on my neck and head. I can feel everything from her slender thighs to her tiny fingers wrapped around my face. The only thing I could see in front of me was her gorgeous purple hair, feeling like I had been exiled from the world I was just in. I could even perfectly feel her tiny, delicious breasts with her nipple furiously poking the top of my head and her tiny small treasure grinding against the bottom of my neck...
-STOP LEWDING HER LIKE THIS DAMN IT!-
«Huh... C-could you lean back a bit?» (Me)
Noemi approaches my ear, red as a tomato, just like me.
«I know you are enjoying it...» (Noemi)
She then leans back. Now half of the problem is gone so I might be able to handle it now.
' Shut up... I wasn't expecting it to go this way. '
We keep walking, both red as an imp.
«They have officially forgotten I exist...» (Diond)
«You'll get used to it» (Kit)
«HOLY FUCK! A TALKING FOX» (Diond)
Everyone around us starts looking at Kit who starts doing fox noises.
' Need help? '
«Your meatless state is quite worrying Diond.» (Me)
Diond swiftly shifts his eyes between me and Kit a few time before grabbing his head and walking ahead, disappearing among the people.
Noemi chuckles and pats my head.
«Now he thinks he is going crazy. How evil of you.»
«...»
' I hope this isn't something bad for his health '
After awkwardly walking for a bit more, everyone stops. On top of a large stone, the warlord stands with the might of a king.
«SILENCE!» (Warlord)
Everyone who was talking suddenly stops when facing the might of the warlord.
«You all already know what you are here to do! You will be separated into 3 groups and then you will fight the enemy head-on. With the little time we have, no ambush will work. The groups are already done. If you can see a line on the ground, get away from it.» (Warlord)
Everyone starts looking down and then space starts tightening.
«These are the groups.» (Warlord)
«Very simple and quick I guess. Three groups that seem to be equal.» (Noemi)
«The first group to your to your left is number 1, Middle is 2 and right is 3.» (Warlord)
The warlord grabs his giant sword that was pierced in the ground and says it on on his shoulder that is covered with heavy armor like his whole body.
' Won't the sword cut the mantle he is wearing? '
' I see. '
«Before the guides take you to the battlefield you will fight in, I have one last thing to say.» (Warlord)
The warlord clears his throat and fixes his posture that was changed by the weight of the sword on his shoulder.
«THIS IS WAR! This is the moment of truth! Don't be afraid to lie! This is the moment to live a winner and the moment to die a hero! We will fight to the death! We will fight to the end of this brave world and save the demon race from the humans!» (Warlord)
Such words light a fire inside everyone. The Warlord then joins the middle group and starts walking to the battlefield. Same happens to the other groups with the guides.
«Kinda sounds nostalgic for some reason...» (Me)
Noemi throws her palm to her face.
«Of course it does...» (Noemi)
I didn't really understand at the time but I wasn't really going to give it much thought. The only thing on my head was that each human squad had at least one commander level fighter that would turn everything grim.
-Yeah...-
This is war
