Chapter 48 - Captivity.

When I woke up, I was in a totally dark place, couldn't see anything. Apparently it was a small room, there was nothing inside that room, only I was here.

'Damn it.'

My arms and legs are tied, but damn, I can't move like that.

I don't know where I am, but I'm sure I was captured by the demon attacking the city.

'I think I managed to get him away without making more victims.'

All I wanted was for him to make no more victims, it seems like he didn't kill anyone else. So I am quite satisfied. Even if I die I can know that I sacrificed myself to save many people.

I don't know if the city will spin in peace after that, nor do I know if anyone in the city can beat these demons.

I believe if anyone is capable of killing this demon, it is the adventurer Rank-S who works in the castle.

'But I can't die now.'

I can't die now, if I die I'll have wasted 12 years of my life, and also if I die, I won't be able to help Mary if she needs me.

Lily needs my help too, so I need to find a way out of here.

'Someone is coming.'

In the next instant, an apparently human woman entered the room.

'Do not wait.'

She had a totally human appearance, but her eyes are totally black, there are also little horns growing on her head.

She was nothing like the demon that attacked the city, who is she?

Name: Sonya

Race: Demon

Age: 82

Strength: 468

Agility: 361

Intelligence: 291

Mana: 1101/1101

She's a demon too, but her looks are nothing like that freak, she's pretty.

"You woke up?" (Sonya)

I didn't answer her question, just sat there staring at her. I didn't mean something I shouldn't, since I'm totally vulnerable here.

Guu--

"If you are awake, answer me" (Sonya)

"Haa ... I'm awake" (Endl)

I had to answer, because if I didn't answer, she would hit me . She didn't have a good personality, unlike her looks.

"Are you hungry?" (Sonya)

"Yes" (Endl)

I don't know how long I was stuck here, but I was already hungry. I also didn't have time to eat before meeting the demons. I couldn't even get to the inn before it all happened.

Sonya took a piece of bread and forced it into my mouth. I accepted, since I was starving..

The bread was not tasty, it was rubbish, but I ate anyway.

"Do you know why we didn't kill you?" (Sonya)

I also wanted to know, since the demons aren't good enough to let me live with nothing in return. So they must have let me live because they need something very important from me, but I really don't know what it is.

"We know you study at the magic school. So we wanted you to do a job for us." (Sonya)

'Is that serious?'

"I NEVER HELP-" (Endl)

Paaan-

"Guu ... Haa" (Endl)

"Are you sure?" (Sonya)

Sonya was looking at me with a face of 'I'll kill you here now if you refuse' so I thought I'd at least listen to what they wanted, after that I'll find a way to get away.

"What do you need from me?" (Endl)

"We need you to get an artifact from the principal's office. It's a green sphere" (Sonya)

"Why?" (Endl)

"You don't have to know. Tomorrow we'll take you to town, and when you go to school again, you'll find some way to get this artifact. Well, if you try to do something against us, you'll die immediately." (Sonya)

They wanted me to steal an artifact from school. This is insane right? if i get caught i will be executed. If they don't believe I was forced into it, it will give my family a lot of trouble too.

'I can't do that, but I will approve her plan now, I have to find a way to escape'

"Fine, I do. But you'll have to leave this country when I give you the artifact" (Endl)

"Alright" (Sonya)

Sonya just gave a sarcastic smile. Of course she wouldn't leave the country after I gave her the artifact. These demons are violent enough to slay people in the middle of the city, they won't hear me.

I need to come up with a plan to get away from this room now, or a plan to get away from them when they take me to town tomorrow.

After she finished feeding me, and talking to me about the plan to steal the artifact, she left with a big smile on her face.

'I have to get away from here immediately'
