Litty Learns More About the Demon
“Hey, hey Kuufa… you need me, right?” (Demon)
Kuufa remained standing still, as she did not know what to say.
Kuufa could not let go of the debt she owed to this demon that had kept her alive. And Baphomet did not miss such weakness.
“Are you confident that you can successfully perform a summoning technique again with me gone? Can you imagine what kind of fellow will come out and what the cost will be…?” (Demon)
Kuufa glanced at Litty without saying anything, and Litty didn’t react to that either, waiting for Kuufa’s voluntary action.
“You’re not talking, are you? You used to live in misery by sneaking around and stealing from people repeatedly! So, you had to rely on me, you know?” (Demon)
“Stealing…?” (Litty)
Kuufa, who has just been told about her past, was more reserved. The word stealing surprised Litty, but she did not despise Kuufa.
“Kukuku, with me gone, someone with your ability can only go and wander around the city dressed like a little dirtbag. Living your whole life being chased around like a stray dog. Wouldn’t that be funny?” (Demon)
“You think it’s funny?” (Litty)
“What’s the point of living like that? By the way, do you wanna know what would have become of you without me?” (Demon)
“What would have become of me?”
Seeing that Kuufa was being influenced by Baphomet’s words, Litty approached Kuufa and took hold of her trembling hand. At first, Kuufa was startled, but she seemed to have calmed down when she saw Litty’s unclouded gaze.
“Kuufa-san, let me help you.”
“Litty-san…”
“Impossible, impossible, impossible! You can’t, you can’t, you can’t, if you kill me, you’ll live on scavenging for garbage! Frekekeke!”
Thanks to Litty, Kuufa didn’t seem disturbed by Baphomet’s vile laughter and agitation. She then squeezed Litty’s hand back tightly.
“I, I, I want to have friends!”
Kuufa pulled her hand away from Litty and clenched her fist. Baphomet was understandably surprised when Kuufa stood up.
Baphomet had never seen Kuufa like that before. How did this happen? Baphomet saw the answer right before his eyes. He stared back at Litty, who was pointing a sword at him.
“Friends? Not for a fellow like this!” (Demon)
“Li, Litty-san, I’ve done… bad things.” (Kuufa)
Ignoring Baphomet, Kuufa talked to Litty. Kuufa’s face was downcast as she started to speak in a faltering voice.
“My parents disappeared… I was all alone. So, I stole a lot of food… They threw many stones at me. I was caught, beaten, hurt…” (Kuufa)
“Yes! You are such a wre–!” (Demon)
Litty thrust her sword into Baphomet’s mouth. She no longer had mercy for him. He was simply an object to be eliminated, even if he was a demon. The only difference was that there was no reward for eliminating him.
“Ah, one day, I heard about the summoning technique… I heard that I could do it even if I didn’t have any weapons… But I didn’t have any money, so I couldn’t even join the guild. Still, somehow, I succeeded…” (Kuufa)
“Agh, agh…” (Demon)
Baphomet, stabbed to the throat and unable to say anything, was struggling to speak, and Litty maintained her position, listening without adding a word.
Innately, there were fundamentals to Summoning Techniques, and there were preparations necessary to properly establish a contract. It would normally be impossible for a girl who had none of that knowledge to succeed, which showed just how much talent she possessed.
Although Litty did not have that much insight about the details, she had already recognized Kuufa’s talent. The more she listened to Kuufa, the more Litty was impressed.
“I went to the Summoners’ Guild… and everyone praised me so much… I got a title… I was so happy, but I didn’t tell them, because it would be a breach of contract, so I kept my mouth shut… but still, everyone…” (Kuufa)
“It’s nice to interact with people, right?” (Litty)
Kuufa nodded broadly, her face soggy with tears and a runny nose. Litty was greatly moved by Kuufa’s desire to change.
Seeing Kuufa like that, Litty almost ended up crying herself but held it in, she looked down at Baphomet who was still stabbed by her blade and struggling to get free.
“Kuufa-san, do you want to be separated from this demon?”
“I’ve been alone for so long, and I was afraid I’d be penalized for breaking the contract…. But now it’s different…”
Litty was waiting for her to say something.
“I want to start over, from scratch! I would like to separate myself from the demon!”
