the demon hunter

Joski observed how quiet the demon hunter is and saw how he left with a white portal, to disappear without a word.

Sighing as he saw the sudden disappearance of the demon hunter, he saw his wife and stepmother of his daughter, now both of them advanced to the mansion, but she was acting strange.

Joski asks - What do you think of that mixed-race child, Devora - he said with curiosity and calm.

Devora heard the question and answers — Which mestizo? I didn't hear anything, I just saw you two look into each other's eyes without saying anything until the demon hunter disappeared — He said with suspicion in his voice.

Joski didn't say anything and knew that there was magic involved so that his wife wouldn't hear the information said by both of them.

Joski went to his daughter's room and heard her crying hard. He wanted to go in and tell her that everything will be fine, but it's better for her to help herself and not give her false hope with that child who she will never see again in her life.

Kijiro had reached the door of the orphanage empty-handed and was about to enter, but he saw the door open and a six-year-old girl came out with her eyes downcast, a black sweatshirt that covered all parts of her body and a long gray hair sticking out of the hood.

Kijiro stopped at the door and moved to the side to let the strange girl pass, but thinking better of things, he faced her head on, blocking the girl's path.

Kijiro asked — Where are you going? Don't you know that it is dangerous for a pretty girl to be alone on the street? — She said with calm in her voice and some warmth, to try to get a positive response from the strange girl.

The girl had both hands in the sleeve of her sweatshirt and when she showed them she pulled out two three-inch rabbits that Kijiro had left behind with the winged snake. Kijiro held the two strange rabbits and turned to look at the girl's face. girl, she opened her eyes as wide as she could to freeze when she saw yellow eyes with slit pupils just like a snake and also those fangs with the snake's tongue that protruded between the teeth or fangs.

Kijiro froze in fear as he saw the snake girl looking at him with amusement and arrogance. Shortly after, the girl walked past the frozen boy to lick his right cheek and then left.

Kijiro reacted after the girl was gone and then fell to the ground on his knees gasping for air, he didn't let go of the strange rabbits.

Kijiro gasped and spoke — Huha! Huha! It can't be, that girl is the giant snake I found in the forest.... The children! It just can't be! —He said with urgency and stopped suddenly to run into the orphanage and see the little children who he hoped were okay.

Running into the orphanage, Kijiro did not find any small children in the kitchen where they usually spend most of their time with the small hope of being offered food.

Now there was nothing about the children or the two crazy caretakers, he went deeper into the orphanage distraught and crying silently, his cheeks stained with tears that fell to the floor.

Imagining the worst, he is regretting not doing something good and killing the snake when he had the chance to do so with the strange black mist ability.

Kijiro heard some noises coming from the main room where Pedro sleeps and quickly accelerated his pace, possibly someone knows what happened and why there was no one here or at least in the kitchen.

Kijiro entered the room and saw a comfortable bed where Pedro was lying, sleeping like a pig.

Kijiro looked at him with a look full of intensity and hatred as he saw him relaxing without any concern for these defenseless creatures in the world.

He felt a strange needle or something sharp in the pocket of his torn pants and saw that there was a knife hidden in it, he remembered what he had kept when he was scared with the venex and he didn't take it out again until now.

Kijiro took the kitchen knife and approached the sleeping man who was snoring without knowing anything about the world. He brought the sharp edge a little closer to the man's neck and was about to cut his entire neck.

Until he felt a chilling sensation running down his cheek that the snake girl had licked and the most surprising thing was that in the kitchen he heard the sounds of the children and Joel, something very strange seems to be that he was in an illusion created by the snake girl.

Kijiro put the knife away just in time to see the man wake up and look into his eyes with a mix of fear and anxiety at having him in a dark room.

Pedro spoke with fear - You! What are you? —He said calmly and asked with some fear in his voice.

Kijiro answers - I am shadow and answer this question. Did you sell the two children? —He said in a dull and emotionless voice.

Pedro opened both eyes with obvious fear and did not know how to react or respond.

Kijiro glared at the man's horrified face, but now he wanted to make him suffer, perhaps steal his soul.

Pedro was startled when he felt a frozen black aura touching him, but he couldn't find the thing that was freezing him.

Feeling more scared by the sudden touches of something invisible, he opened his eyes even more to stand up suddenly from the bed and now awake with the light on he could see that it was only the child who arrived at the orphanage a few days ago.

Pedro spoke - Never come in here, now get out - He said with anger in his voice.

Kijiro heard the anger in the man's voice and left the room, he had more important things to do.

Upon entering the kitchen he saw the children sitting at the table and eating very happily. Joel had a distraught and scared face, it seems like he saw the devil.

Kijiro walked in slowly and approached Joel's back, then the man felt a chilling sensation running through him and turned around only to see Kijiro's pupil less black eyes up close.

Joel shouts — Hahah! - he shouted out loud.

Kijiro heard Joel's horrified scream and suspected that it had something to do with the sudden appearance of the snake girl that he found at the door or that it actually scared him when she appeared at his back.

Joel spoke - Don't do that again, I'm scared because of a very strange little girl with the wild appearance of a snake who sent a lot of food to the orphanage, she looks like a noble - He said with fear when remembering the little girl.

Kijiro asked, "Did that girl say anything else?" —he said with curiosity and urgency in his voice.

Joel heard the boy's question and decided to answer - No, it seems that she cannot speak and only makes signs to communicate, but she was accompanied by a very powerful servant who is a true versatile sorceress. Furthermore, the sorceress mentioned that the girl Angela had felt the call. help from a snake in the forest and that's why he left - He said with great shame at having to reveal what he was afraid of a girl.
