CH 115

“Chapter 115: Kouya and Takaya”

There are more people from my world other than my classmates?

I had a hunch, but to think it’s actually true…

And on top of that, he’s the ruler of the demons.

At first glance, he looks one or two years older than me, but he seems to have more experience in this world, so his aging might have distorted at some point.

– You missed something, though. I’m not actually the Demon King. I just act as a representative.

– Representative? Then who’s the Demon King?

– Hey, China-chan(*), come out already.

Kouya looked at the bed in the corner of the room. From the bedsheets peeked a pair of eyes.

– Kou-kun, can we trust that person?

– Don’t worry, we come from the same place.

The girl stared at me with her red eyes.

– Uh, my name is Nagami Takaya.

– Takaya… Your name sounds similar to Kou-kun’s.

– Only the last syllable. But I probably come from the same place as him

– Dark hair, dark eyes, not many people like that here. (Kouya)

The girl got out of the bed and hid behind Kouya.

– Takaya, this is Tilchina. I know she might not look very intimidating, but she’s undoubtedly the ruler of all the demons. Her skills are unmatched.

The girl stood firmly for a second and bowed before returning to Kouya’s back.

– Tozaki-san.

– Just call me Kouya. Age aside, we were both students in the old world.

– Kouya, thank you for helping us. The warehouse, Daybreaker’s secret. If it wasn’t for you, the Succubi race and I would’ve been killed.

– I know, which is why I thought I could give you a hand. But did you really have to use that horrible insecticide? My body still hurts.

– …What?

Kouya struck a pose like a TV superhero and transformed.

– G W O O O O O O H –

– Kou-kun, you stink.

– That dragon was you!?

The dragon poofed back into its original form.

– That was me. “Perfect Imitation” is my tree. Well, it’s called perfect, but it does have some conditions.

I knew it was too much of a coincidence to find a zombie dragon at the exact moment we needed one.

– No need to apologize. I know you wouldn’t have killed me if you knew.

Maybe I overdid it with the insecticide.

Kouya, Tilchina and I sat around a nearby table.

– It took me a long time to get to where I am. No time would be enough to cover it all, but that’s what you came here for, right?

– Yes. Please tell me everything. How you got to this world, and how much you know about it.
