Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~ Volume 5 Chapter 0

Volume 5, Chapter 0: The Prelude for Part 2


As s.p.a.ce-time violently rippled, the shattered human soul was sent through the torrent of the dimensions.


It was a storm of emptiness raging in a void that had nothing.


“I” dreamt in that violent whirlpool.


Beautiful, gentle parents… Living as a n.o.ble… Smiling towards servants…





Golden hair… Black hair… little friends.


A big castle… a splendid king… a little boy with a defiant face…


A boy with earnest eyes that held a sword……


And…


The sweet smell of overflowing blood…


A dark sky… A dark world…


Thousands of grotesque monsters, all kneeling before me…


Four boys and a girl…


An enormous cat… dark like ink…


Reflected in its eyes……


A golden cat.


I quietly dreamed it all.


A wall that was made to stop “Me”, that had enormous power,


And a great force called out for “Me”.


Someone was calling.


An unknown voice…? No, I know this voice. A boy…? A girl…?


I faintly heard the quiet whine of a “Beast”.


Were you… calling out to me?


“……Ah, you’re awake.”


When I opened my eyes, the white light shone against my eyes. I heard someone’s voice in the background that was still blurry to me.


A young woman…? But for some reason it’s a nostalgic feeling.


My body wouldn’t move. I felt like I was asleep.


“Ah, hold on, don’t get up yet.”


I kept pushing against the lady that was holding my body down, but she pulled me into an embrace and touched her forehead to mine. It’s a little… cold and pleasant.


“Mm… the fever’s gone down. You’ve had a terrible fever and been asleep since yesterday morning. The women were making a terrible commotion. Hey, aren’t you hungry?”


“……No”


A small voice came out. But it felt a little different. Was it because of fever? It seemed like it’d been a long time since I’d gotten sick…


“Is that so…? Then, shall I peel some fruit for you? You won’t get better if you don’t eat something, you know.”


In my field of vision that gradually widened, I saw a girl smiling at me.


A spirited girl with black hair and eyes… that looked like a junior high school student.


Someone I don’t know…? But, it felt like I knew her.


A nostalgic smile. A bright room that I feel like I’ve seen somewhere.


A flower-patterned wallpaper. Crayon graffiti. A colorful picture book. A stuffed teddy bear.


A large cushion that had faded colors. A small white chair and desk.


At that scene… tears fell unbidden from my eyes even as I was unaware because of that nostalgic feeling.


“What’s wrong?”


The girl’s voice was surprised, and hugged me gently, stroking my head quietly.


A big hand…… No, I’m just small.


“I saw a scary dream… It’s okay…… Yuzu Yuuko……”
