112 An Angel and a Demon! - Chapter 112

[ Okay, I understand! ] ( Chloe )

She agreed to all of my rules as she was looking at me with a confident look.

After she got my confirmation, she turned around and sat on her knees in front of those girls.

[ Hey, what are you girls doing here alone? ] ( Chloe )

She asked them. But the moment she came closer to those things, both of their bodies twitched as they were trying to cover each other by hugging.

[ It's okay! I'm not gonna hurt you. My name is Chloe. What about you? ] ( Chloe )

Even though they didn't respond to her, Chloe still tried to talk to them.

[ [ ... ] ]

But no answer came back from those things.

The black-haired demon had covered its head using her sister's arms.

But I still find it weird. How come an Angel and a Demon are sisters?

Except for the difference in hair colour, their appearances were the same.

If I'm right, Demons and Angels are supposed to be in a war against each other, so wouldn't a child between them be considered taboo?

Or maybe, every Angel and Demon have their own doppelgangers, which is the opposite of them.

That also could be a possibility...

Now that I think about it, can Angels and Demons even speak human language?

[ Do you know where your parents are? ] ( Chloe )

[ [ ... ] ]

Still no answer...

Maybe I was right, perhaps they can't speak our language...or maybe they don't want to respond.

If they don't want to respond, then...

[ She asked you a question! ] ( Hatsuko )

I looked straight into their eyes as I told them that.

They kept acting as if they were scared of us. The blonde-haired girl was hugging her sister's head while looking at me.

But what troubled me was the fact that they showed no reactions on their faces. It was as if they were dolls who had the same expression on their face.

[ Hatsuko! Don't scare them. ] ( Chloe )

She said to me as she was trying to get an answer from them.

[ Don't worry about him! He is just a big dummy, ] ( Chloe )

She slightly giggled as she said that.

[ [ ... ] ]

What did she just say about me? Or was she joking about that?

...

But the fact that they weren't responding made Chloe a bit concerned.

[ Can you understand what I'm saying? ] ( Chloe )

She asked as she pointed her finger towards her face.

[ *Nods* ]

The Angel girl nodded as a response without taking her eyes away from me.

So they can understand us...

[ Can you tell me your name? ] ( Chloe )

There was a gap of hesitation before the blonde girl looked back at Chloe.

[ ...Angela ] ( Angela )

She responded to Chloe.

Her voice was so low that she could barely be heard.

Chloe showed signs of joy the moment that thing replied to her.

[ What about that cutie over there? ] ( Chloe )

She looked at the black-haired girl who had covered her face.

[ ...Demonica... ] ( Angela )

The blonde-haired girl replied once again.

That demon was covering herself as if she was terrified and weak. I know for sure that Demons and Angels are insanely strong, so why are they acting like that.

[ You have cute names! ] ( Chloe )

She smiled as she said that to them.

[ So, can you tell me where your parents are? ] ( Chloe )

The Angel girl shook her head left and right in denial.

[ I see... You must be hungry, do you want to join us and eat something? ] ( Chloe )

The Angel girl shook her head left and right once again.

[ I don't think those beings eat human food. ] ( Hatsuko )

Chloe looked at me when I said that.

[ They don't? ] ( Chloe )

[ They are from the Angel and Demon race, so it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't need to eat just like us, humans. ] ( Hatsuko )

[ I see... ] ( Chloe )

I don't know why, but I could feel their gazes directed at me for some reason.

Are they planning on attacking us?

But what happened next surprised me...

[ What are you? ] ( Angela )

She asked as she looked straight into my eyes.

[ Eh? ] ( Chloe )

Chloe looked at me as well when that girl asked me that question.

I looked back into Angela's eyes as she was waiting for an answer. But I was speechless. I didn't know how to respond to that question. Her eyes had a calm feeling, and the more I was staring at them, the more I felt myself being sucked by her looks.

[ His name is Hatsuko, he may look like a scary guy, but he is really kind, so don't worry. ] ( Chloe )

Angela kept looking at me for some reason, and then she noticed the katana I was holding in my hand.

She reached out her hand and slightly touched the katana, and at that moment, I felt a tingling sensation in my whole body.

What was that?

And that's when my katana immediately disappeared from my hand. Did she break my sword just from touching it?

[ What did you do? ] ( Hatsuko )

I looked at her as I asked her that. And the kind voice I was speaking with wasn't a kind one...

She covered her head as well as if she didn't expect my katana to disappear.

[ C-calm down, she didn't mean any harm, Hatsuko! ] ( Chloe )

How can I stay calm in this kind of situation, was what I wanted to say, but I refrained from doing so.

[ Did you like his sword, Angela? ] ( Chloe )

Angela nodded as a response.

[ See? There wasn't any need to get mad. ] ( Chloe )

She said as she was looking at me.

I went back near the entrance of the cave once again and sat down. I also created a barrier at the entrance so no monster wouldn't be able to enter. Even though we are staying here for the night, I will keep an eye on those things just in case they decide to do something.

Chloe came and sat down with me as well. I actually thought she was going to stay with those things.

[ What do you think happened to them? ] ( Chloe )

She asked me as she rested her head on my shoulder once again.

[ Who knows... ] ( Hatsuko )

I responded as I closed my eyes.
