Clearly a Demon King

We didn't understand why only mine came out. My face turned serious.

(Why did only mine came out?)

I turned my gaze to 'Thea to look for an explanation. She tilted her head as she said questioningly.

"'You can only call the status once you have blessings' is what Mother Earth said earlier, though?"

Now everyone looked at me. Their eyes were asking 'since when did you have a blessing?'. I scratched my face in embarrassment as I turned to look at my status... I froze in shock with my eyes wide open.

The others seeing that, also looked at the status. What was written there was.

Everyone slowly turned their heads towards me... They all backed away from me slowly. Their expressions were terrified. Only Athena and Althea didn't back away, they only looked at me in shock. I was startled causing me to feel awkward.

I hid my face in Althea's chest while asking in a voice only she can hear.

"...how do you make it disappear?"

"Umm...status close.."

Light shone and her status disappeared. I also closed mine.

"Status close."

It disappeared. And because it was still awkward for me, I tried to put on a serious face and said.

"I don't know anything about it so let's all get back to rest... Le..let's change keeping watch now and let the others sleep."

I put my head on Althea's lap trying to hide my face while pretending to be asleep.

"See? Who said that he was a hero? It clearly says demon king."

Seeing that, the others finally calmed down and they joked around while trying to get back to rest. I ignored them.

While in Althea's lap, I smelt something and her leg was slightly wet. The smell was a little familiar... That's right, it was the smell of pee.

I looked at her face. She was covering it with both hands. I could still see some redness on her face.

"I..it's because I was holding it earlier, th..then suddenly, my head hurt s..so..."

(Now that I think about it, its been half a day since this all started. The others might also be holding it in, I mean... Even I am holding it right now.)

Everyone were minding their own businesses, so no one heard her...except for Athena who switched to Althea's side and leaned the head on her shoulder- it was 'Thea's turn to keep watch so we used her for comfortability in resting.

Athena didn't seem to mind it. I stood up and grabbed a shirt, pants, and panty from the pile of clothings- the panty was actually from a set of three that was brand new and still has its package found inside a backpack, I opened it and grabbed one.

(Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have opened it and just gave the pack to her.)

I pulled Althea to stand up. She was surprised by that action.

I felt her shirt if it was wet...and it wasn't. I wiped the areas that were wet with the shirt that I got. She was embarrassed by that and looked at the other people. I also looked at the others and saw that they were looking away from us- actually, Athena glared at them so that they would avert their eyes.

"Wear this. They won't peek at you... Well, if they did I'll throw them out the window."

I said that in a voice that everyone can hear while I turned around and looked at them. She was embarrassed but she still took the pants and started pulling down her own panties and skirt. The rustling of clothes could be heard. I was still focused on watching the others, to see if there was someone brave enough to jump down the window.

"Clearly a demon king." """"Right."""""

They all raised agreed at that comment.

'Tina asked 'Thea.

"You done?"

"Y..yea."

Hearing that, I turned around and looked at her. Her face was still red and she was hiding the panty and skirt in her back while her other hand was holding the pants that she wore.

"Too loose?"

I asked her.

"Y...yup, a little."

Hearing that, I grabbed a belt and gave it to her. After that, we got back to resting and I fell asleep.

...

"Sh*t!! It's the end!" "I don't wanna die yet!" "Kyaah!!" "Let her go!"

Morning came. We all woke up because of the noise in front of the room.

"Nobody move."

"B..but..."

I told them in a low voice. It seems they were reluctant, but they still understood our own situation so they didn't move.

I slowly raised my head to look outside the window. I was surprised and quickly lowered my head. My heart was beating faster. There was a dread so close-up the window. It was in side view so it might not have noticed me, but it was still nerve wracking.

I put my finger in my mouth, signaling them to stay quiet. I pointed at the one on the very edge of the other window and signaled for him to see what was happening- the dreads should be facing their backs in that direction, so I got him to watch the situation outside.

Almond slowly raised his head on the window. He watched for a while before slowly getting back down. He picked up a pen and wrote in a paper. After writing, he gave the paper to the one at his side. It was then passed to the others until it finally arrived to me- by the way, it was Athena who thought up of this idea earlier... she's so smart.

'4 humans/3dreads, they're still resisting. Many dreads far away coming.' was what's written in the paper.

"What are they thinking? They should have waited for the blessings."

I said in a low voice. I showed the paper to Athena who was beside me, she then started to think.

After a while, she then said in a low voice.

"It's worth a shot... But, that would give away our position. More dreads will come here if the fights too loud. So, I think not going to help should be a better move."

Everyone fell silent at her thoughts.
