Chapter 9: 'Illya'

"Captain! Get out of the way!! "Kerry yelled!
"What?"
Reese thought suspiciously, and swept to the side with his afterglowβin the snow-covered hollow, a huge white tiger swooped up from the side with a fishy wind.
"Damn it!"
He tried to change his tactics, but his sore arm wouldn't listen. Reese, who was used to swing his sword, could only watch as the blood gradually enlarged and bit his head.
He suddenly remembered something he had overlooked...
The White Tiger is a solitary monster in the cold land, they love magic, and at the same time mate and reproduce in winter. Unlike most solitary beasts, when a tigress becomes pregnant, the male tiger will not leave as soon as she becomes pregnant, but will take care of her until the cub is able to survive on her own.
"It turns out... It's a drag on the family......
Time seemed to stand still at this moment: the roar of the male tiger, the shouts of Reese, and the sound of the wind from the pounce all disappeared at once, and the movements of the tigress seemed to have become slow, and Rees could even clearly see the bits of flesh hanging between the devouring fangs in its pitch-black maw.
'The world is so rich and colorful, how can mankind leave his short 100 years to the politics of the gold and jade...'
Thinking of the past, he laughed at himself,
"Heh~ Are you going to die..."
β¦
"Let's go! Damn humans! The black cat urged the man in front of her to lead the way, and she squatted on the shoulders of the silver-haired Lori, and her tone was quite harsh.
"Yes, Mistress Luna." The man looked back and smiled, and replied with a flattering face.
But the black cat didn't eat it, "What are you doing with your head?" Hurry up and get out of your way! β
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Unable to please the left and right, the man cried and mourned, concentrating on opening the way, hoping to ignore the noisy 'cat cry' behind his head.
"Alright, Luna, Mr. Andy has done a great job, why do you always have to find fault with him?"
Seeing that his subordinates were arguing, the silver-haired Lori stopped the black cat and said seriously: "Besides, I'm playing a human being now, and you're just a monster like me, you have to call him Mr. Andy, don't always call him a human, a human." β
"Hmm~ Lily, don't blame me, who made humans look so annoying. Look at him, with two eyes and one mouth, he looks like a dog, it's disgusting! β
The black cat said that humans are ugly, and she just hates it.
The silver-haired Lori smiled helplessly, and said in a commanding tone: "It's okay if you say this when it's only us, but when outsiders are present, you have to remember that you're just a black cat that can't speak." β
"An-la~An-la~ Lily, you're so long-winded." The black cat agreed, but he didn't know how many words he would listen to.
They were Lilian's party who was preparing to go to Beishu Town.
Ever since the Demon City had the 'Riot Machine', Lilian has been thinking about when to go to the human world to find out the specific situation, and at the same time make some spell books and learn two skills.
Although the demonic inheritance gave her a powerful physique and almost infinite magical power, she did not pass on the corresponding magic. There is a way to obtain powerful magic in the Demon City, but that facility cannot be built at the moment.
Therefore, all things considered, it is the best choice to go to humans to learn spells, which can also verify Lilian's guess about mages.
I didn't go out before, because there were no guards in the base.
Once you leave, there's something in the base that's over. But now it's different, five demon warriors and five gargoyles, close the door, plus the 'two or five boys' of the temple next to it, it's foolproof.
When I think back to the scene when I first came here, I feel a sense of accomplishment of 'turning over as a serf'.
"Ah, I can finally experience the customs of another world~" Lilian, who had a petty bourgeois mood, thought easily.
"Stupid human, look what path you lead! It's so hard to walk, are you a heart! β
"I..."
"Wait, don't talk!"
Andy was about to refute when he heard Lillian's order. He immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to say more. Although the black cat is a bit worse, what he is really afraid of is actually this black-bellied master who looks like an angel, and the ghost knows what he has experienced...
Lilian pricked up her ears and listened carefully, then her eyes lit up, and she excitedly took off her cloak and threw it to Andy.
"There are a few people over there who are in danger, I'll go and kick it, and you follow slowly. Luna, hold on to me! β
"Meow~!!"
As soon as the voice fell, Lilian took off her coat and squatted down violently, and then kicked hard. 'Bang! With a bang, the whole person flew out diagonally like a cannonball, and disappeared in front of Andy's eyes in an instant.
β(βoβ)β¦β
Holding the warm cloak with Lori's body fragrance in his hand, Andy was stunned to see where Lilian had disappeared - the snow that had just covered the ground had now disappeared without a trace, revealing cracked black rocks...

"Heh~ Are you going to die..."
The fishy smell came to his face, his head hit the tiger's mouth, and Reese felt that there was no luck...
"Bang ββ!!"
A white shadow flashed, and the hideous beast head in front of it instantly deviated from its original trajectory, like a broken sack, and was swept onto the snow mound by a huge momentum, releasing a loud 'bang'.
This momentary change of life and death left Reese in a trance and unable to think effectively.
thought that he would die, and even his heart was ready to accept death, but at the moment before he was about to enter the ghost gate, the sudden white shadow was like a powerful giant hand, forcibly pulling him out of the boundary of death and resolving the crisis of losing his life.
"Bang ββ!"
"Whoa..."
The huge wind brought by the white shadow has only now fallen, and the snow and mist are rising all over the sky, and in a trance, Rees saw the white shadow that pulled him away from the ghost gate, flashed a few times in the snow, and rushed to the left, accompanied by the muffled sound of fists and flesh fighting, the tiger's roar sounded again, and then completely fell silent.
In addition to the snow that was lifted up, there was also the tiger's mouth that disappeared from view, as if nothing had happened.
"Who saved me?"
Suddenly awakened, Reese immediately searched for his savior, but all he could see was snowflakes dancing and glittering in the sun.
"Sand, sand..."
Light footsteps sounded, and Reese turned his head to look:
In the snow mist that gradually drifted away, the silver-haired Lori with a smooth forehead, dark eyes, and a white power suit slowly emerged from it, like an elf walking out of a painting, showing him a healing smile.
"Well... It's beautiful..."Reece said distractedly,
"Are you alright, uncle?"
"I'm also... Forehead... Uncle... Uncle? Come on, I'm only seventeen! And you're nine years old, aren't you? Hearing Lori's question, Reece hurriedly answered, and his face even showed signs of redness.
God knows, when he chats with the most beautiful princess in the kingdom, he can answer each other fluently, but he looks foreign in front of a nine-year-old Lori, which makes Reese have a strange feeling that is difficult to describe.
Officially, he was electrocuted.
"The object of my first impulsive motion was a nine-year-old Lori!!
Reece said that he couldn't accept it, he didn't think he was a pervert,
"Oh~ Okay then, this big brother, if you're fine, it's best to deal with that brother's wound, if the bleeding doesn't stop, he'll die in a while."
Reece was struggling when the tender Lori spoke again, reminding him of the purpose of his visit.
"Damn it!"
Reece immediately jumped up like a jumping rabbit, rushed to Kerry's side, took out a hemostatic tool, and tossed on the unconscious teammate for a while to stop the wild flow of blood.
"Meow~"
"Okay, if it's okay, I'll go," Lori smiled and waved her hand, and a black cat with no variegation immediately jumped on her head, "Good luck, big brother..."
After Lori finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, and Reese immediately yelled,
"Wait a minute!"
"Huh? Anything else? Turning her head, Lori, who was lying on her little head with a cat, looked at him suspiciously with big talking eyes, as if to blame him for being rude.
"......, it's nothing, that, hello, my name is Reese, I don't know what your name is, little sister?" Reese smiled awkwardly, like a soldier meeting the leader.
"Name?"
The charming Lori's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth pulled up a charming arc,
"Illya...... My name is Illya, Illyasfil von Einzberen. β
