No, I'm not going to serve you. (I)

What the heck happened? My ears had a loud piercing sound. Why did an explosion just set off here and now?

I slowly got up and noticed that Phil was knocked out and bleeding. "Phil." I shook him. Was he dead? This is not good. Wait...he's breathing. My fingers were on his neck checking his pulse.

Looking up, I noticed Adriel standing in front of us with a black barrier. He glared towards the incident, where he noticed that his limousine was blown up into smithereens.

Pedestrians were screaming in fear as they were running around. Some were hurt and injured, while others were knocked out unconscious.

Chaos followed behind me everywhere I went. Was Double Trouble really that powerful here on Earth? Back on Torren I wouldn't get into trouble so often.

"Get up dragon. We need to find shelter now." Adriel called out. He spoke with urgency.

I nodded understanding what he meant, but Phil's heavy body was pushing down upon me making it difficult.

"Young mistress!" Coco rushed over and pulled him off. She slung him on her shoulder like a sake of potato.

I couldn't help but stare in amazement at the amount of strength that she had possessed in such a lean body. I wondered where all that power came from.

"Young mistress, we need to go." Coco replied in a hurry, she lend me her hand

"Yea..." I reached over and grabbed her extended hand. She pulled me up like I weighed nothing and brushed the dirt off my body.

"Come on!" Adriel shouted. He darted towards the side of the building and headed the opposite

direction of the Host Club.

Coco and I followed as best we could, especially me who was having a difficult time following behind the quick footstep of an elf. My legs were not cut out to be running so quickly in this small childish body.

I stumbled and tripped. Coco grabbed me in midair by the waist and picked me up with her free arm. She was now carrying both of us without even falling behind.

We ran through the side of many buildings, jumped over fences, and even crossed a stream. Not once did Coco fail to follow behind Adriel. He stopped in an abandoned building. Coco gently placed me down and dropped Phil onto the ground with a loud thump. I felt a little bit bad for Phil, but luckily he was asleep.

Adriel leaned over towards the side and looked out the broken glass.

"Were we followed?" I asked. Wondering what was going on outside.

Adriel turned around. "No."

I sighed with relief, dropping on the floor. I pulled up my leg and wrapped my hand around it. "What just happened? Why did your car blow up?"

"I expected this to happen."

"What are you talking about?"

Adriel spat. He leaned against the wall and slid down onto the ground.

"You know what's going on."

"Shut it dragon."

"I have a nam-"

Coco blitz towards Adriel and aimed a deadly knife at his throat. Adriel didn't flinch a single bit and instead glared down at her like she was some kind of bug. All I could do was gulp. Any minutes now I swear I would see blood being spilled between the two. Where did the courage come from anyways? He's a Demon Lord for crying out loud. I swear that Coco was fearless.

"Um...Coco."

"Yes, young mistress? How should I cut this ruffian's to pieces? Skin him alive? Gut him? Break every piece of his bones? Or maybe I should slowly skewer him." Coco's gaze had a piercing blood lust.

I need to be really really careful around Coco. Right now her words and looks don't match. A fearless beauty that could kill with just words alone.

"Keh." Adriel smirked. "Kahahahahaha!" He burst out laughing and threw up his hands.

"What's so funny scum?"

"Nothing. I just never thought I would see such words come out from a beautiful lady." Adriel pushed the knife away from his neck. Blood seeped out of his fingers. Coco was pushing back with all her strength, but even still she couldn't budge from Adriel's power.

"What? How?" Coco gritted her teeth. She wasn't scared, still.

Adriel broke the knife in half causing her to fall forward. He caught Coco in his arms and smiled. Coco blushed scarlet for a brief moment, her whole demeanor changed and instead gave him a head butt.

Adriel dropped her and Coco twirled out from underneath. She punched him in the guts and sent him flying backwards into the wall. "Ugh!" He fell and slid down onto the ground.

My mouth was hanging open in shock and my hands were unconsciously slowly clapping.

"Hmph." Coco fluffed her maid clothes.

"Coco, I don't think that was a wise idea." Actually, I am cheering for her bravery. I can not help but stare at her in a whole new perspective after today. Even though I already thought of her as an awesome maid, she was spectacular today.

"Young mistress, I believe it was the right thing to do. Hammering in a couple of pegs down this

arrogant elf is something I have wanted to do since the first time I laid my eyes on him." She clapped her hands to take dirt off.

"Well..."

"Kuhuhuhahahahaah!" Adriel who was down was laughing out loud like it was nothing.

I couldn't help but stare at him strangely. Was he alright? Did Coco's hit knock him out of his senses? I was sure that it wasn't that bad.

"What is with that disgusting laugh." Coco eyed Adriel with disgust.

"Ah~" Adriel let out a breath and stared up into the ceiling. "I never had any female hit me like that before."

"He's a masochist." I worded underneath my breath. Even Coco heard what I had said and nodded.

"Quite a refreshing feeling." Adriel pushed back his hair and got up as if nothing had happened. "For your excellent performance, I'll tell you what is going on."

So he knew. I couldn't help but wonder what he had to say.

"It seems that Rei has found out that I tricked him."

"Rei?" Coco asked, she turned towards me confused.

"A past Titan." I mean yea, I was waiting for Rei to find out sooner or later.

"A Titan?!" Coco's voice went up an octave shocked. "How is it possible there shouldn't be more than one legendary Creatures out for another thousand years."

"Well that's a bit of a different story. He has lost his power."

"How?"Coco asked, she wasn't quite believing what I had said.

"I don't know. All he said was that he was sent here and inhabited a human body." I replied, knowing full well that wasn't the best answer. I didn't really understand it either.

"That is unheard of," Coco thought it over. "Young mistress, I was wondering."

"Yes?"

"Where are we? I don't understand how the Forgotten Forest is connected to this strange area? Everywhere I look I have not found a single tree. I am sure that we don't live next to a strange city like this." Coco looked around, realizing now that she wasn't back "home".

"Well..." I was wondering how I should explain it to her. Even I didn't understand how she made it to Earth without going through the portal that the Light Goddess had created.

"You're not in Torren anymore." Phil was awake. He brushed his hair back.

Everyone turned towards Phil. The blood was gone, he massaged his head and looked at each one of us, confused.

"What are you saying? This is the world of Torren isn't it?" Coco asked, trying to understand everything.

"No." Phil said.

"W-what?"

"It's Earth. I don't know how you got here, but Don, Berry, and I have been here for over a week now."

"I knew I felt something strange about this world." Coco spoke. "I got the feeling that the magical energy in the air is stagnant and weak. I could barely even summon my magic until I got closer to you young mistress." She grabbed a hold of my hands and her eyes were twinkling in joy.

"As one would expect to be near a dragon," said Adriel. "It's no surprise your magic would work more efficiently when you are near her. She's a walking talking magic conductor. Every pore of her body filters and cleans the magic around her. That is what a dragon of this world is like."
