I Was Born With A Demon Lord Inside Of Me, Who Wants To Kill

Chapter 44: Aftermath IV

-What is the meaning of this Whitebolt?

-You traitor!

-We believed in you!

Guards and adventurers started to close in on Whitebolt. Some of them took out their weapons.

-Don't jump to conclusions. – Said Whitebolt.

-We don't need conclusions. We have proof.

Whitebolt sighed.

-Let m...

Duster put his finger on Whitebolts mouth, shushing him.

-Leave this to me. – He whispered and giggled – My friends! – He opened his arms and started walking towards them – There seems to be a misunderstanding here!

-There is no misunderstanding here! Do you think we are blind? How do you explain that red light then! – Screamed one guard.

Duster looked at him straight in the eyes.

-Are you telling me I'm wrong?

The adventurer felt threatened and backed off.

-Before a big brawl starts, - Continued Duster – Why not put down our weapons and let us explain everything. – He clenched his hands together. Suddenly, the guards and adventurers felt an aura stronger than Rekkas – After all, I don't want to get my hands dirty.

The aura disappeared.

-This guy is a serious problem! – Thought the guards.

The adventurers that passed out earlier woke up.

-Whitebolt – The adventurer screamed – I won't forgive you, you traitor!

-Let us explain. – Said Whitebolt. He was getting irritated.

The guards started to split up. In the middle, a woman in silver armor and blonde hair walked through. It was Maya.

-Maya-sama! – The guards kneeled.

Duster stood on his toes and waved his hand.

-Maya-chan! Long time no see!

-Hokori-san. – Maya made a kind smile – Did everything go smoothly? – She looked over and saw Whitebolt holding passed out Rekka.

Duster snapped his fingers.

-Everything went fine! I can't feel the demons presence anymore.

The guards and adventurers were confused. Maya after hearing Dusters words, turned around to the guards.

-As an elite guard, I, the Silver Rose, command you all to not hurt the child Whitebolt is holding. Today, I'm going to have a city meeting and explain everything in front of everyone.

-Yes mam! – Said the guards and left. The adventurers, a bit irritated, left too.

When Maya saw everyone leaving, she turned around. Her face completely changed. In a split second, she took out her rapier and dashed towards Duster, piercing him. The gush of wind shook the grass around. Maya looked up and saw the place where she was supposed to pierce Duster was hollow.

-Aren't you a bit too energetic today, Maya-chan? – Said Duster and laughed.

Maya continued to pierce him, but couldn't land a single hit.

-That monster, heh. – Laughed Whitebolt.

-I told you not to call me by that name. – Said Maya and put her rapier in a scabbard – How did it go?

-It was splendid! – Answered Duster and put her arms up – That little boy's willpower is on another level! – Duster got serious now – Don't hurt that boy. He won't go berserk again if that seal is active.

-What guarantee do you have? – Asked Maya in a menacing tone.

-Don't doubt me. – Said Duster and looked at Maya with a death stare.

-Humph. – Said Maya – I will go commence the meeting. – She looked over at Whitebolt – You are lucky Duster is kind. You should thank him.

-Already did. – Answered Whitebolt.

-After all, he is my friend! – Duster appeared behind him and rolled his hand on Whitebolts shoulder.

Maya left. That day, there was a city gathering. Maya explained everything, but added in some lies, saying that in a middle of a battle, Rekka, as a bystander got possessed, and that's why he had weird appearance and why there was red light piercing the skies. Maya said that anyone who hurt Rekka would've been severely punished. The townspeople calmed down. Some rumors started, that Maya lied, but they quickly died down.

In the meantime, Rekka had a nightmare again, but this time, it felt different.
