Chapter 93

Chapter 93

I soon made my way back to Tamayo's mansion and it was interesting to note how when I got close to the building that the demonic tracking compass kept cycling between turning between a couple different directions, so I guessed Nerine was likely in another room or something while Tamayo and Yushiro were together.

I then pulled the doorbell rope, and I could hear a bell within the house ringing and then I could hear Nerine faintly call out. "I got it!"

It didnt take more than a few seconds for Nerine to reach the door and I had to blink in surprise as Nerine had already physically changed by a decent amount as she had lost her wine-red eyes and her eyes turned a darker purple or blue shade which complemented her light purple hair. As well as her body seemed to have filled out a bit more compared to her previous almost skeletal frame.

"Ah welcome back master." She said shyly and lowered her head refusing to meet my eyes.

Her words knocked me out of the confusion at her different appearance and I noticed she was wearing a conservative maid outfit at least to my western sensibilities as it was a black and white dress, but it was pretty frilly, and she also wasn't wearing a bonnet or anything else on her head so I didnt instantly jump to that thought.

"Did Tamayo give you that dress and more importantly why did you call me that?" I asked confused as Nerine was still standing directly in front of the door blocking the way.

Nerine didnt respond for a minute as she stared down at the ground until she took a deep breath to steel her nerves and she stared me straight in the eye's as she began to speak. "Jake. I don't know what to feel about you... I truly hate you for killing my mother and even if she used me as bait to attract humans for her to eat, I still loved her, and you took her from me." She swallowed and took another deep breath as she stepped forward and grasped my shirt as I had put away my armor as a sign of good faith to Tamayo.

"So, what did Tamayo did to you." I said kinda bumping her around to get her attention and she blushed and didnt move her face from my chest.

"Lady Tamayo gave me a bunch of drugs she said would destroy the demon blood within me and then she put a lot of needles into me and had six bags of human blood emptied within me to convert as much of my demon blood back to human but without the demon blood of an upper moon which you went to get, I will go back to being a full demon in a few days." Nerine explained.

After flashing out my compass out for a quick check, I went towards the room with the demonic signature and knocked on the door. "Please come in Jake." Lady Tamayo called out gently.

I went inside the sitting room and sat on the other side of the table across from Tamayo but unfortunately Nerine wouldn't allow me to sit away from her and when I put her beside me, she just faceplanted into my lap. Before I could move her out of the way or anything Tamayo spoke. "Relax Jake she is simply highly emotional now as her human and demon hormone's as basically at war within one another, so she is going to be sleeping heavily till one side triumphs over the other."

I plucked out the blood-filled syringes and gently laid them upon the table and I could see both demons face twitch in surprise. "I have blood samples from the upper moon six demon's Gyutaro and Daki." I then made sure to explain how they were different people and how they were demons made by Doma.

"Good... With this I will be able to turn Nerine back human as well as help me in my own projects."

Hmm I only have like a couple days till Shinobu is expected to be in Kyoto so I should probably get there sooner rather than later in case she gets their early. Not to mention I want to find the demon Nakime as her reality marble would be a powerful upgrade to one of my pieces of gear.

"Well in that case I need to be getting to Kyoto as I have business there." I told Tamayo and she nodded while giving a smug smile at me trying to untangle Nerine's arms from around me so I could leave.
