Chapter 662 ( Ankaji once again )

"Of course I am happily married" - Riman replied as he rolled his eyes at them - "Why else would I wish to return to the sea?"

"I don't know, maybe because of the desire for freedom?" - Shea replied as she looked at her old acquaintance.

"Of course that's a good reason to return to your home, but there's no better motivation than seeing your loved ones again" - Riman replied with a tone similar to a father talking to his daughter - "Don't you think so too, Ojou-san?"

"W-well, you're right" - muttered Shea before nodding.

Riman was about to say something else, when he noticed something - "Oh? I see you managed to bring Hime-sama back home, you even have a new companion now!"

"Yes, things took a strange turn during our stay in Erisen" - Cloud replied while shaking his head.

"Fate is uncertain, though that's what makes life wonderful" - Riman said with a smile - "Though if I have to admit it, it's good to see that the girl who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, has turned into a beautiful and happy girl."

"You were the person who found me and brought daddy to help me?" - Myu asked as she looked at the human-faced fish.

Riman nodded calmly.

"Thank you!" - Myu exclaimed as she jumped into the water and gave Riman a hug - "If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have met daddy."

"It's the least I can do for a sea hatchling" - smiled Riman, slightly embarrassed.

"Thank you so much for saving my daughter" - Remia said as she looked at Riman with respect.

"Oh, you don't have to thank me so much" - Riman replied as he averted his gaze, although his embarrassment increased when he heard how those present laughed at him - "Ahem! Anyway, it was a pleasure to be able to see you, although I have to say goodbye because my wife is waiting for me."

"It was nice to see you again, Riman" - Cloud said as he shook his hand - "And I hope this won't be the last time we see each other."

"I think the same, it's not every day I get to see a friend" - smiled Riman as he gave him his flipper - "If you ever have puppies, I hope our children can play together"

"Sure" - nodded Cloud, not noticing how the girls blushed at the thought of having a child with the blond - "Here, with this you can talk to us if you need help with anything"

"Thanks a lot, buddy" - smiled Riman before disappearing into the sea, but not before wishing them a safe trip.

"I never thought that one of my few friends would be a fish with a human face" - said Cloud as he shook his head - "Anyway, we'd better continue with our journey"

"Ok" - nodded the girls as they "sailed" towards the shore.

"How do you feel?"

"Like I have an uncontainable power inside me" - Kouki answered as he looked at the new weapon he had gotten. This one had changed its shape to a much thinner and longer one, though its ominous colors hadn't changed.

"Perfect, with this new weapon you'll be able to fulfill your wish."

"I hope so" - Kouki replied as he tightened his grip on the hilt of his new sword - "I feel a little strange though".

"It has to be because you're just getting used to it."

Kouki didn't answer, he just nodded weakly, not noticing how the dark aura of the sword, entered his body.

"What now?" - Kouki asked as he looked at the sword with a frown because he could sense that there was something off about all this, though he couldn't identify what.

"Now we'll head to the night forest."

"Night forest?" - Kouki repeated with a frown.

"A forest covered in thick darkness, a place where light cannot reach, as well as the perfect place for you to hone your skills and grow in strength."

Kouki frowned, though he quickly nodded - "How long will I need to be strong enough to take what is rightfully mine?"

"That depends on how much effort you put into increasing your strength."

Kouki clicked his tongue before walking in the direction the voice in his head was indicating, completely ignoring the fact that he was walking deeper and deeper to his end.

* * * * *

"So. What's the plan now?" - Eri asked as she looked at her colleagues. She had been spying on her former group for days, and to her growing irritation, Kouki was nowhere to be seen.

"Keep watching, so keep quiet" - replied a demon woman as she looked at the human with disgust.

Eri watched the demon woman closely as a huge, sadistic smile appeared on her face - "Do you have something against me?"

"Of course! I don't understand what the higher ups think of putting a dirty human as my companion!" - The demon woman exclaimed, only to be surprised to hear what she had said - "How!"

"A little skill of mine, though it's nice to know you hate me" - Eri said as her smile grew - "And you know what?"

"W-what?" - The demon woman asked as she watched a group of humanoid shadows emerge behind Eri, shadows she recognized as the demons who had been the girl's companions and had fallen in battle.

"I hate you too, so I guess now that we're both on the same page, it's a good time for us to take a step in the right direction and become best friends ~" - Eri replied as she watched the shadows go to the demon girl.

"S-Let go of me!" - The demon girl exclaimed, in instinctive fear.

"No, no, we won't be best friends if I let you go ~" - Eri replied as she watched the shadows take the demon girl away to another location.

"No, no, no!" - The demoness exclaimed, only to hear the cries of anguish.

"Let's see how long she lasts this time" - Eri muttered as she listened to the demon girl's cries of despair - "Although being female, I'm sure she'll last longer than the men, after all, it's much more humiliating for them."

Eri continued to watch her former companions as she listened as the screams of terror became less and less - "So fast? Maybe I should have used Daisuke's body, instead of those demons'... that would have been fun."

* * * * *

"So, where shall we go first?" - Remia asked excitedly because this was her first time out of Erisen and she was curious to know more about the world.

"We'll go to Ankaji first" - Cloud answered calmly - "It's the best place we can travel to so we don't have to take the desert road, besides, I don't think traveling through the desert would be memorable for you."

Remia smiled slightly as Myu shouted excitedly.

"After that, where will we go?" asked Tio as he folded his arms.

"Possibly, to the sea of trees" - Cloud answered as he shook his head.

"Oh, right, we already have enough proof to be able to enter" - nodded Shea excitedly because soon he would be able to see his family again.

The group continued to advance through the desert in silence, only to be surprised to see how a huge caravan was coming into sight on the horizon.

"Look mom, look at all those vehicles and animals!" - Myu exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, they are all very nice" - smiled Remia as she looked at Cloud in search of answers because she was impressed by all the people who were traveling to the same destination.

"Possibly, they are going to deliver supplies to duchy" - replied Kaori as the others nodded - "I think that's the most logical answer because Ankaji was on the verge of collapse due to the lack of water and food."

"What was it that happened?" - Remia asked with concern.

"Oh, some demons tried to collapse the duchy with a poisonous monster" - Cloud answered normally.

"A huge one" - Kaori added as she remembered how Tio took out the titanic-sized gelatinous creature.

"Is that normal for you guys?" - Remia asked in surprise, completely unaware that Cloud brought Leviathan meat for dinner.

"Oh, very normal" - nodded Yue normally.

"I guess we'll have to wait for all those floats to move on, so it's a good time to continue training" - said Cloud as he looked at Remia - "Not to mention that this place without any water, is a good place to train your stamina and improve your magic ability"

"Ok" - nodded Remia seriously.

The girls quickly exited the vehicle, with the exception of Myu, who had moved forward.

"Look at that!" - exclaimed an adventurer upon seeing the huge array of girls that had emerged from the strange vehicle - "Wow, they're beautiful!"

"Why don't you go try your luck?" - asked his companion - "I'm sure at least one of them will tell you yes."

"Ok" - nodded the adventurer, though to his surprise, he felt everything around him go white after feeling a small pain in his forehead.

"Fred!" - The adventurer's friend exclaimed as he ran to where he had fallen.

His shout caused a huge commotion in the caravan, who quickly ran to see what was going on.

"Nice shot, Myu" - smiled Cloud as the little girl laughed happily. She was a natural with guns.
