Episode-6

Devil Contract Seal is a forbidden magic that has two types of pills and those two types always make in a pair, red black color is yin and the red white color is yang. It doesn’t matter which color contractor swallows as long as it is one from the same pair.

And that’s how I form a contract with White Cross. At first, I swallowed one then I force her to swallow another by mouth to mouth. This thing will start to take effect only in 1 min.

I notice that White Cross suddenly stopped her endless curse. I notice more clearly her face become pale and started to coughing.

“Cough, cough, what is this? Why am I feeling this strange thing? Cough… My throat is burning like there is liquid lava in it… cough…”

We, l expected that. Devil God will exist as long as living beings negativity exists and that advantage taken in that Devil Contract Seal pills. If one of the two contractors bear negative thought then the devil blood will act up and try to swallow the negativity include vassal. That's trigger as extreme poison to the body. The contract will remain as long as the pill doesn’t dissolve completely. And the longevity of that pill is one year.

I told her while touching her both cheeks with my hand,

“Stop it, your suicidal magic I mean. As I said before you cannot even scheme to kill me. You will die before you could active this magic. So stop that useless suicidal magic of yours, and see I don’t bear any negativity towards you, so I am okay. So believe me for now.”

After hearing me she looks at me with her trembling eyes. This poison is too much deadly; I can see which is clearly shown in her painful eyes. After few seconds has passed her eyes suddenly become bright and she realized what I said to her.

She breathed calmly and redness has filled again on her pale face. It is confirmation of that, that she deactivate her suicidal magic.

“Fuh! That was close.”

I can feel that my forehead covered in sweat. I can never bear to see a bishoujo (Beauty) die in front of my eyes. Actually, I was unsure if she will listen to me because of fanaticism, but that poison was so fatal that even person like her feared that kind of death.

“W-why?”

“Hmm?”

She opened her mouth. Why I save her? Huh! But I acted as I didn’t understand her question to listen to her full question from her mouth.

“Why did you tried to save me? You could just let me die, there is no reason to keep me alive.”

“Don’t misunderstand, I am saving you because killing you will bring me a lot of trouble. I know how fanatics White Saintess’s followers are, if I killed you here, they will come for my head at any cost even White Saintess herself might join in that hunt but currently they are taking it easy, so I not only keep them in check, I can also make use of you to run away from this country after all you will be the one who will keep a check on them by sending wrong information.”

Hearing me she frowned. She wanted to say something but she didn’t. By the way, I still was holding her cheeks with my hands; I release her and said while distancing myself,

“And, like I said I don’t bear any negative thoughts toward you, if I did that poison will act up which you feel first hand by yourself moments ago. So believe my word, I will peacefully leave this continent and this life of bandits.”

She was looking at me, there lied no meaning behind that gaze, but I can understand with my skin, she is proving me. After some moments she let out a sigh.

“I don’t know why I am doing this, but I will believe you this time. But if you break this next time both of us will die, even if I have to go through this hellish poison.”

“Thank you.”

Hearing my soft thanks she looked at me weird yet surprised eyes. But I ignored that and take off my mask, in fact, there was no need for the mask because she already saw my rotten face.

“I want to ask something.”

I asked her.

“What is it?”

She replied me while looking at my bare face.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

“As you can see, I have so many scars on my face. Even though I could regenerate my internal wound for some reason I cannot heal my external wound… I mean my skin. You are a healer, so is there any mean to heal my face. After all, I cannot walk in the day with this face, because the public will treat me as a bandit and it’ll be difficult for me.”

I thought she will be protesting to answer me, but she answer me honestly,

“ Well, you are a bandit in a first, so the public is not wrong. But of course there is a way to heal it, almost 80% of disease can be healed by magic, so healing your face isn’t a hard thing to do.”

“Oh is there?”

Oh, that’s good, my previous handsome glory might return.

“Yeah, even I can do this because it requires the main class as water attribute healing magic which is I possess.”

“Then…”

Stopping me she said,

“You have to follow one pf my condition…”

“Wha-what? Don’t tell me you want my chastity?”

I asked her while crossing my arms over my chest.

“Of course not! You damn… you have no chastity in the first place. Whatever, the condition is you cannot kill anyone at least not innocent people even it is for self-defense.”

She threw it to me with proving eyes. But I replied her without a shred of lies,

“Well, it’s really easy things to do.”

Hearing me she frowned.

“If you break this condition, I will kill you by any means.”

“Yeah, yeah I understand. Now please heal.”

“You idiot how do I heal you when you bind me with the rope? And I need one week to heal you completely.”

“Oh, I forgot about that.”

By saying that, I have dismissed my bind magic.

“Wah! That easily you unbind me.”

She meant I should have more cautious.

“Of course because we are bound by contract now, so there is no need to doubt you. Or you want to be bind like that for more time? Tell me, are you a masochist?”

“Of course not!”

She retorted.

“Well, can you shrink back to loli form? I don’t want to expose your real identity to my gang.”

She is beautiful; Hasan Ali’s gangs will be lusted toward her for sure.

“Loli?”

She asked me with confused, maybe it’s an unfamiliar term.

“Ah, I mean your child form.”

“O-okay.”

Saying that she chants something in her mind and begin to shrink, it’s really too magical, even her clothes were also shrinking with her.

She back to her lolification form.

Seeing that, I couldn’t resist but hug her.

“Wha-what are you doing? Release me, release me, you pervert.”

She was struggling into my chest.

“Haha, Rabbit-Chan is too moe, I could die now in peace.”

“Release me now, you stench. And who is Rabbit chan?”

“It’s you, you look like a rabbit. Wait let give a name shorter, Raby-chan.”

“Who wants that name? Call me White Cross you idiot, White Cross.”

“I cannot call you with that name in front of my gang or they will be alert toward you. So I give you a name.”

“I don’t need that…”

“Then tell me your name.”

“Tsk! Do whatever you want; I am not giving my name to you.”

She gave up. After molest… hugging her for a moment I release her and said,

“Let’s go outside. I have to talk with my gang about you.”

“About me?”

“Yes, to explain why I value your life, well I will tell them made up lie though.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, after that you will start healing me.”

Saying that grabbing her hand I gently drag her from this room.

…

We enter a room where the nasty kind smell is floating around the air. It was a noisy room with more than fifty men where the sound of laughter can be heard after a while when someone throws dirty joke, some of them playing cards with money, some of them are drinking alcohol, and some just lying corner of the room.

But noticing me everyone become alert and stand up no matter what position they were in.

Damn! No matter how I look it, just seeing them gives me goosebumps. They are looking at me while expecting me to say something but just those glares are enough to shake my legs. After letting out a sigh I told them,

“I have something important to announce, where is Usman?”

After I asked that, suddenly a harsh tone came from behind my shoulder.

“Boss, I am here.”

Shit! My shoulder trembled. Well, whatever let’s put an air,

“Oh, you are here. Is everyone present in this room?”

I asked while looking around the room. There should be more than one hundred and fifty members in Hasan Ali’s gang, but only one-third of present here.

“No, 20 of us still injure, they are all recovering.”

“I-is that so? So others died in the last attack of Blue Saintess?”

I asked him while I was acting like I am frowning.

“Yes and no.”

Why two answer? But I didn’t ask him the reason because he will answer himself.

“More than 40 had died, but other left the gang.”

So some of them sum up that Hasan Ali died for sure, well they are wise but also not loyal, and nevertheless, it doesn’t matter to me. But I said with bandit leader like tone.

“So, they betray us, next time we will meet each of them, they will be killed without second thought. It’s their fault to betray Hasan Ali.”

“Understood.”

This guy is too calm for a bandit. Except for his face and job, he would be the likable manager for a company.

“As for why I am seeking everyone, I have two announcements to make.”

Saying that I walk and sit in a chair while White Cross, who I had named Raby-chan, has stood beside me.

“The first thing is…”

I grab lolified Raby-chan and make her sit on my lap. After that, I release a majestic pressure on them after opening [12th Gate of Soul: Taurus], that help me to raise entire one class as long as this gate is opened, which means I am in early 5th class. For your note when I had opened [13th Gate of Soul: Aries] my strength become comparable to mid tier 4th class but I didn’t break through the from early 4th class to mid 4th class, where 12th gate Taurus help me to break through from the early 4th class to early 5th class expert. And if you are questioning why didn't Hasan Ali or I always keep open those gates? Of course, there is a restriction, which I will explain you later. Let me finish what I was about to say to them,

“This girl is my long lost little sister who I found today.”

Hearing me everyone’s eyes become the dots. I know what are they thinking, it is like that, ‘You gotta kiddin' me! Your long lost sister, or shit! We all know you have two brothers, and there is no record of your lost sister.’

But they didn’t voice out to me because I am putting enormous pressure on them.

“If anyone even touches her, I will roast him alive, do you understand?”

Everyone gulped down except two, of course, one is Raby-chan and other is Usman. Isn’t he courageous old man?

“Why I am not hearing any response?”

I put my entire early 5th class pressure on them.

“We understand boss!” (All members, except me and Raby-chan)

“You will worship her like your goddess.”

“Yes, boss!” (All members, except me and Raby-chan)

Everyone replied including Usman.

“Good.”

I started to pat Raby-chan while everyone looking at us complicated eyes. Seeing them she trembled, this girl she is acting like as if she is afraid of those ossans (Old dudes). She is quite an actress.

“Oi, why are you looking at her with those eyes? Couldn’t you see she is afraid of that? Wanna, lose your eyes? Want me to help you to gauge out those eyes of yours, you perverted old men?”

Hearing me everyone hurriedly evade their gaze in different directions. Well, it is also good for me if they look at different directions.

“Well, as for the second announcement, we are leaving this continent soon.”

Of course, I cannot leave this continent all by myself; I need the help of these pieces of shits but professionals bandits who might become my meat shield.
