Listening to Allen’s heartfelt words that seemed to have an underlying meaning ‘Don’t think of doing anything bad’ behind it, the girl instantly felt relieved.

She knows full well what her sword was.

[ Demon Sword ].

It was a double edge sword that could take her life or any person beside her in a blink of an eye. The more she uses it, the more she felt its terrifying effects.

She was losing herself.

As to whether it was something good or bad in this kind of world, she still didn’t know. But what she understands is that this sword could help her survive and live!

To live, humans will do anything for that even if it meant becoming a monster, no, a demon himself!

And that is why to her, that sword is very important. She couldn’t rely on anyone, not in humans. She didn’t want to be betrayed once again! Only the sword can protect her, only in that sword could she rely on.

She will never forgive those who would take it away from her!

She then cast her gaze to the black clothed youth in front of her. He wasn’t that handsome like those celebrities that could make any girl scream but for some reason, she felt he was slightly different from any male she knew.

He has a pair of brown and bright eyes, soft and fair skin and a slender figure.

Looking at his laid-back manner, he seems like a confident and cheerful youth with a my-pace character in a first glance.

More importantly, he looks so relax and comfortable, without the slightest hint of nervousness even in this kind of world. His very easy self-confidence will make you feel inferior and attracted at the same time.

He exudes some kind of charm…

Loneliness, sadness, grieve and… death?!

“!?”

What? Why did I think of that…?

The girl was startled. After she wields the demon sword, she started seeing something from creatures she met. Whether it was monsters or humans, she seemed to feel something from within them. And this feeling is always accurate!

Just like those times when she felt hate, fear, and hostility from the people she once saved. There were also times when she felt strange about the people who call her their comrade… after that, she was betrayed and almost died.

But why did she felt that towards this black clothed youth who had ‘My Pace’ look and appeared easy going…?

Was she mistaken?

Biting her lip, the girl struggled from her position and turned around. She then took the black sword lying on the back of her seat.

These actions alarmed the whole group and immediately grasped their weapons.

Upon gripping the black sword’s hilt, the girl’s eyes instantly turned the originally brown colored eyes dyed in red. A slit that looked like a snake’s eye was on her pupils as she looked straight at Allen.

Allen doesn’t know what this girl was doing and so he stared back at her.

“… …”

Through the girl’s eyes, she was able to see a mysterious haze around Allen.

Using the eyes granted by her demon sword, she could always see a misty haze around every creature especially humans. This haze seemed to be representing the individual’s deep feelings.

But the atmosphere around the black clothed youth was different from normal.

The ones she had seen before were much vaguer, but she could clearly see this haze in front of her. And she was able to clearly read the feelings of that haze.

Love, Desire, Yearning, Longing, Attachment, Infatuation, Sadness, Loneliness, and Grief.

All of these emotions were contained within that haze like a strong cocktail.

The moment the girl felt it, she instinctively edged back.

She felt restless and almost teared up.

What is that thing!?

The moment the girl screamed on the inside, she felt as if the dark haze looked at her.

Then something appeared on that haze. Behind the black clothed youth were two red gem-like things.

It seemed like it was a pair of eyes and was looking at directly at her.

‘…bad girl…’ A soft and faint voice echoed in her ears.

Hearing this, the girl’s body started trembling.

She then felt as if those red eyes were smiling.

‘…looking at something you shouldn’t. Be careful or you might get dragged into the darkness…’

“Kyaaaah!!!!” The girl couldn’t hold it any longer and screamed in fear.

The hands holding the black sword let go and the black sword fell with a ‘dang’ sound on the floor.

Her body sub consciously back away from the black clothed youth like a frightened bunny.

The group inside the vehicle was started by the scream and the driver almost crashed the Humvee in a tree due to shock.

Allen looked at the girl, frowning. She screamed like she saw a ghost after looking at my handsome face?! How rude!

“Hey, even if you think I’m ugly, but screaming while looking at my face is really rude you know that.”

“I, I, I…”

“Calm down, I won’t eat you though. But you sure hurt my feelings~” For the record, Allen was deep, very deeply hurt.

“That is right! Allen isn’t ugly! He is uhm…”

“I’m what?”

“… …”

“… …”

“… …”

“If you can’t think anything then shut up! You’re hurting my feelings more than her!!”

“No, I’m just joking you know. What I want to say is that you also had a good side. It’s true that appearance-wise, you’re …”

“Oi!”

“…just kidding. Though truthfully, for some reason, you're becoming even more handsome… I don’t know why… anyway, the thing is, your mysteriousness was just too much that it’s already creepy…”

“Don’t call it creepy!”

“…But you are strong and you always pay attention to your surroundings and notices even the smallest things. You are always sure what you wanted and you always act towards it… you’re a good guy.

That is why, if anyone dares to criticize you, I will certainly spank them to oblivion!”

“Don’t just selfishly give me a ‘Good guy’ card!”

Allen’s face was already dyed in red. Even the group of soldiers inside made wry smiles while looking at them.

They liked this kind of atmosphere or rather, this is better compared to the past where they were always stayed vigilant and couldn’t relax even for just a short moment.

This kind of mood is calming their stern hearts and minds.

Speechless, Allen could only avert his eyes from Aileen and Alicia who was nodding like a chicken while looking at him. He was completely embarrassed. Saying all those things with a serious expression is foul play!

“Changing the subject, Flor… right. Although my face seemed to scare you I’m really not a bad person!” Allen said.

He just swept that aside… ( People’s thoughts )

“Look, this guy over there is Major William. A soldier. Even though his face is scary and as well as scary, also really scary he’s a good guy~”

“Hey! Whose face are you calling scary!?”

Pfft – ahahahahaha all the people inside the car, including the soldiers immediately laugh.

They even started teasing Major William and because of this, the strange atmosphere instantly vanished and was then replaced by a cheerful mood.

“Uncle, I know you’re embarrassed but don’t mind, don’t mind, there are still hardcore women who will find you charming~”

“Hey! You’re just looking for someone to vent your frustration from a while ago aren’t you, brat?!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about uncle.”

“Heh, brat let me tell you this, my wife is very beautiful. I even almost put her on a glass display just to brag ~”

“Hey, uncle! That’s unfair, let me see her and I will judge… holy sh*t! Hey uncle, aren’t you a soldier? Did you kidnap a high schooler?! That's against the law!!”

Ahahahahaha – Aileen, and Alicia also joined in laughing.

Looking at the cheerful crowd, the girl’s frightened state gradually disappeared.

Even her trembling body calmed down as a faint smile appeared on her face.

However, she was still wary at Allen. Just what was that? Whose voice was it that she heard?

Looking at the black clothed youth cheerfully joking around, he seemed to have not noticed it.

What is he?

The girl once again took the black sword but this time, the girl couldn’t see ‘that thing’ again.

She was surprised not because she couldn’t see it anymore but because at this time, not only ‘that thing’, even the hazy mist that usually stayed around an individual was nowhere to be seen.

Looking around, apart from the youth, she could still see that mist from the people around her. Seeing this, the girl reached a conclusion.

Was it erased?

No, it wasn’t erased, it was concealed or more like her vision was blocked!

That’s impossible! This was an ability given by the demon sword, how could anyone just blocked it!

Is ‘that’ its doing?

“Hm? Something wrong?” Allen noticed the girls gaze and asked.

“Are…are you a human?”

“Of course I am. Do I look like a monster to you?” Allen’s face became strange.

What is this girl’s saying? Am I really that ugly?

Allen knows himself that he wasn't handsome. But, I wished she hadn’t said it so directly. I was hurt.

“Ah…no, y, you’re wrong I’m not saying you’re ugly or anything it’s just that…”

“It’s just…what?”

“It’s just---”

‘Mind your business, little girl.’

“Hiii-!!” The girl wanted to say it but she was stopped by a cold voice.

She could only swallow the words she wanted to say.

“Ah, no…I, I just want to know. y, you called me Flor, how did you know my name?” and so, she immediately changes the topic.

She was sure that if she says anything, she would die! “Do I know you…?”

“Oh, that?” Allen made a wry smile. “…I have my way. Anyway, I was actually looking for you, Flor Mendez.”

“Looking for me…?”

“Yes, I want you to join my organization.”

With those words, the group fell silent. Even Aileen and Alicia showed a lost expression. Organization? What organization?

Did Allen have an organization?
