Do you Remember?

Part 2

NT: So… Catora doesn’t have anything alse to say so… what about listening about Catora’s minecraft adventures for now? Catora realy liked Minecraft, he played a lot until the horses came out, then just stoped for, well, no real reason, just stoped. Any way, Catora has been watchin a lot of minecraft videos because of Dream (Manhunt) and the Hololive girls and… well, he just wanted to play it again, besides, it seemes like there a new update coming soon, so, i guess it is a good time to start playing again and… i really liked it, i list a lot of time with it, Catora even made himself a skin that kinda looked like him and, it was great… then his laptops fucked again, and i lost everything on it, again, AGAIN, and… well… ¿did i lost everything? It doesn save anything on an onlyne sarver, right? I guess not… thats… that makes me feel sad…

No matter that she was the daughter of the Demon King, the ambitious Menou couldn’t bear the thought of serving someone much weaker than him. Menou desired power, and he desired to become more powerful by following those with overwhelming power, not wasting his time protecting their children. Instead, he could use his time slaughtering every Human he came across.

However, Menou, who was overwhelmed by the Demon King’s sharp gaze, had no choice but to obey.

Menou was quite proud of his own strength, but everything had its limits. There was no one who could resist the power of the Demon King, whose power was on a completely different level than everyone else, making it clear that he was in his position for a reason.

『…… What are you doing?』

At first, Alice was afraid of Menou, and began to tremble every time he called her. This was because Menou always looked at Alice with disgust.

It didn’t matter if it was a Human or not, he considered all those weaker than him as inferior and worthless parasites. That was Menou’s ideology.

Strength is everything. Use the power of one to maintain control over the others. There was no need to show kindness. That is why Menou was constantly in a bad mood and kept away from individuals weaker than him to avoid ending up harboring unnecessary feelings.

Alice, who was so weak and defenseless that it was hard to believe that she was really the daughter of the Demon King, was one of them. She was a weak creature that Menou would rather have nothing to do with if not for the Demon King’s order, but most of all――,

『Tha-That…… The little bird is injured, so I want to help them……』

She was kind. That made her absolutely unbearable for Menou.

Menou did not like that a 5-year-old girl, who was still in full growth stage, kept trying to help others much weaker than her when she did not even have the strength to take care of herself.

『With all due respect, Alice-sama is a Demon, and not only that, but you are also the daughter of the Demon King. So why do you bother wasting your time uselessly caring for creatures inferior to you?』

『Why?』

『No matter what you say…… That bird has nothing to do with Alice-sama. It won’t help you again later. There is nothing you can get out of it. In other words, it’s wasted effort as you won’t get anything for helping it』

『Eeh…… I don’t know. I don’t know how to say it, but…… It’s not like I’m helping them because I want to get something in return』

Besides that, there was one other thing that Menou found unbearable. It was the smile that Alice kept putting on no matter how disgusted he looked at her. To the Menou from back then, this seemed like a wry smile that she wore solely to justify her mindless actions.

「So…… What should we do about this little problem? Any idea?」

「What if we leave him here to lure them in while we escape?」

「Mary-chan? Could you not say those things with such a serious look? It makes me think that you’re not kidding」

「No…… But, that could do…… Well, let’s get on with that」

「Tina-tan? Do you know that if they leave me here lying in this situation they will also leave you?」

It had been a while since the battle against the Mini Messiah ended, however, the group was still in the area of ​​the ruined city where they fought. This was because both, Kagami and Tina, hadn’t yet regained their strength.

「Maybe we could…… No, they are not the type who likes to talk, are they?」

Takako said as she looked at the beings that were marching them in a state of alert from the surroundings of the battlefield.

「But, ​​they’re just looking at us without doing anything else, right?」

Alice muttered as she looked in the opposite direction from Takako.

Currently, the group was surrounded by the Beast’s Fangs•Kemono Kiba-zoku• who resided in the ruins of the city. Each of the remaining members of the Beast’s Fangs•Kemono Kiba-zoku• positioned themselves around the group without leaving any space for them to escape while directing some hostility towards them.

Until a while ago, they had been able to maintain a certain minimum level of cooperation during the battle against the Mini Messiahs. However, they quickly proceeded to surround them as soon as the battle was over.

With Kagami and Tina out of combat, Takako, who possessed better physical capabilities than the Beast’s Fangs•Kemono Kiba-zoku•, couldn’t just carelessly engage in combat with them when they were clearly vastly outnumbered, plus she wasn’t in perfect condition either.

Still, no matter how much time passed, the Beast’s Fangs•Kemono Kiba-zoku• were still not making a single move, and were simply still cautiously watching the party from afar, probably due to the fact that they had managed to defeat the Mini Messiahs that they hadn’t been able to defeat before, which made them think they should act with caution.

「How about we try to talk to them? If we talk, maybe we can come to an agreement. They might hear us if they see that Pitta-chan is with us」

「No, Ku-chan, you only say that because you haven’t seen them in action, they will definitely try to kill us the moment we do something suspicious. The only reason they haven’t made their move yet is because they are on alert」

Krull, who was holding Pitta by her hand, began to feel uncomfortable with the attitude of the Beast’s Fangs•Kemono Kiba-zoku•. However, before she could even take a step forward, Palna rushed to her to stop her.

「But, ​​it’s not like we can stay here silently forever.」

「What about you? Any idea, Yuki?」

「Awawa, I can’t think of anything. No matter how I think about it, I can’t think of any way to get through them unscathed. Not while we carry those two」

Yuki said with a wry smile as she looked at Tina and Kagami, who couldn’t move at all and couldn’t stop sweating in pain.

「I’m fine…… escape without me…… That’s…… what Kagami-san said」

「No, no, no, Tina, instead, I think your time to return to god’s side has finally come」

They started saying to each other as they fought to decide who would be the sacrifice.

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments
