Captured by the Demon King's Second Child
The sacrifice
The battlefield reeked of burnt wood.
The clanking of swords could be heard from a distance.
The humans could notice that they had no advantage in the battlefield.
The demons had called for help from a new battle squadron, which was led by the second child of the supreme demon lord.
The so-called heroes were already at their wits end.
Human
We need to flee the battlefield!
Demon Vice commander
Heed my command, great demon army
Demon Vice commander
The leader is here!
The army looked up to the sky
The second child looked down at them from the sky
Yuzuki
Pathetic humans, there's no need for any more struggle.
Yuzuki
It's time to end your pathetic lives.
Demon
All hail the demon lord!
Yuzuki
*I'm the one here, though.*
The humans were now on their knees.
The pressure from the second child was getting unbearable.
They had planned on reducing the demon army greatly, but their efforts were futile.
Human
It seems like it's indeed the end.
Human
In the face of absolute power... Ugh, I'm so useless.
Aira
I think I'll be able to send you all out.
A human mage who gave them hope.
Suzune
What are you saying?
Suzune
Doesn't that spell drain a lot of manas from you?
Suzune
And an assassin who tried to stop her.
Human
*What's your problem, let her do what she wants.*
Aira
(smiles) Hey, please do come back to take my corpse some other day.
Aira raised her staff weakly before sending them all out.
Aira flopped on the floor.
Aira
Hehe, such a great sacrifice from me.
Aira
I guess I've atoned for my sins.
Aira
Mom, dad... I guess I'll be joining you in heaven soon.
Tricky second child.
Demon Vice commander
My lord! It seems like all the heroes have fled the battlefield.
The second child narrowed his gaze before turning away.
Demon
My lord! A hero still remains!
The second child looked back at the battlefield.
Yuzuki
*Why's she smiling when she's about to die?*
A few minutes later, Aira was brought up to the second child.
Yuzuki
Place her in my arm.
The second child glared at the demon.
The demon burst into pieces.
Before Aira could fall, the second child immediately grabbed her.
Yuzuki
Now, you all should clean up the battlefield.
Yuzuki
Gather the resources, and we can return to the demon world.
Demon Vice commander
Yes, my lord!
The second child turned to Aira, who was scared out of her wits.
Aira
*Wh-wh-wh-what should I do now? This demon lord will torture me!*
Their eyes locked for a moment.
The second child took a magic portion out of her storage ring.
Yuzuki
*H-her voice is cute, too.*
Yuzuki
You dare to defy this young lord?
She popped open the bottle and immediately gulped down the contents.
Aira
*Even if it's poison, I'll end up dead anyway.*
Yuzuki
Good, now you'll never leave my side.
Her lips tugged upwards in an unsettling smile.
She used her thumb to wipe off some of the potion that rolled down Aira's lips.
Aira
*N-never leave his side?!*
Name: Aira Hoshida
Hobbies: Having fun with friends, eating sweets.
Dislikes: Goody-too-shoes, gossip, quiet places.
Off to the demon realm
The gathering of the spoils of the battle ended quickly, and the demons were finally ready to return to their realm.
And Aira, the mage who had thought she had sacrificed for the greater good...
...was returning to the demon realm...
In the arms of the second child.
Aira
*For the greater good of my kind my ass!*
As they were approaching the portal, Aira began imagining different torture methods that'd be used on her.
Aira
*I'm about to get into the demon realm!! This is really bad!!*
Aira
*I should have drained my mana to the point of death, now I'll be tortured to death!!*
That would've been a bad idea.
Aira
*What would I face as I step in? Miasma, that'll end my life just as I step in?!*
Yuzuki
Little human, we're almost there. (Whispers)
Aira
*This damn demon lord, what did he give me earlier?*
Yuzuki threw a glance at Aira and noticed her staring.
She smirked before turning away again.
Aira
*Argh!! That smug face of his!! I wanna rip it off!*
Yuzuki
*Hm... this little human must be speechless because of how breathtaking and heroic I look* (Smirks yet again)
Yup, just keep deceiving yourself, Yuzuki-sama.
Aira
*Well, there's nothing I can do anymore...*
Aira
*I wonder how the demon world looks... I bet it's a horrible and dark place with skeletons and dead bodies everywhere*
She shuddered at her own imagination.
She glanced at Yuzuki before looking back at the portal.
Aira
*I just hope they'll give me a less painful death...*
