Cruel Fate (Gacha System x D×D)

Chapter 31

'A hero.... man... I'm not trying to be a selfless goody two shoes... Just a better person in general. But if there is more people like Nina.... Then I'll help them.' Haru thought to himself, then looked at the map again. 'Oh yeah, can all demons understand other languages or what?' Haru asked Calli.

Don't question it.

'Well, how did I manage to read the map when I don't even know the language?'

Plot uhuk- I mean, don't question it. This matter is irrelevant.

'Okay, damn.' A drop of sweat went down Haru's forehead at Calli's serious voice. He rolled up the map and stored it. "Done yet?" Haru turned around and asked Nina. "Hm." She nodded, then Haru carried her out of the tub and placed her on the floor. Haru held a palm over Nina's boy and emmited a powerful and warm wind. Haru made sure the heat was minimised and he began drying Nina's body. After finishing her hair, Haru stood straight and looked at her now dried and clean body. 'Should she put on her old rags?' Haru bought to himself. 'What about mine?' Haru thought, then summoned his smallest shirt. It was a long sleeves black shirt. "Let's put this on you." Haru said, then Nina raided her arms. Haru slid the shirt from the top and it fell on Nina's slender body. "Uhh... Hmmm.... I guess that's fine." Haru said as he looked at Nina's figure. The shirt was definitely oversized. Nina's right shoulder was showing, the sleeves went way over her tiny arms, and the shirt reached her calves.

"Are you fine with that?" Haru asked, Nina bringing her sleeved arms to her face and nuzzling into them. "Uhuh... I'll take that as a yes." Haru said, then Nina's tail started wagging. "Almost forgot about that." Haru said as Nina's tail exposed her butt. "Nina, can you keep your tail low and not move it?" Haru asked, Nina nodded and the shirt fell back and her tail stopped wagging. Then it hit him. The collar on Nina's neck could be a tracker.
'... Do I do it?' Haru thought to himself as Nina stared at him. "Nina, I have to take off your collar. They might be able to find you by tracing your collar." Haru said after sighing. "Ok..." Nina said. "If it hurts.... Just tell me. Or scream if you can't speak." Haru said, then gripped the metal collar with both hands. 'Hooh... Wish me luck Calli.' Haru said to himself.

You can do it Master! I believe in you! M-A-S-T-E-R! Master is the best!

Haru concentrated and used some buffs. He heated up his hands to melt the metal at least a tiny bit but not enough to hurt Nina to a big degree. He also overhwelmed the magical collar with his own magic by injecting his mana into it. Nina tightly closed her eyes as she bite her bottom lip. 'Brave girl...' Haru thought, then put all of his focus back to breaking the collar. With a grunt, the collar broke off. Haru looked at the broken collar and walked up to the window. He opened it and tossed it. He turned his buffs off and walked up to Nina.

"

Here..." Haru held out his fingers, Nina grabbed them and smiled brightly at Haru. "Let's get going." Haru said, then walked out of the bathroom with Nina following beside him. Haru took her to their room and sat her down on the bed. He proceeded to sit down next to her and asked her a question.

"Do you know who those guys were? The one who were chasing you..." Haru asked, sitting cross legged across Nina. "... Bad guys." She said in quiet voice. "Can you tell me where you escaped from?" Haru asked, making her shake her head side to side. "You don't know?" Haru said gently. She nodded and hummed. "Was there more like you?" Haru asked. "Yes.... my friends..." She said with a sad face, her eyes glistening because of tears.

"Don't worry Nina, I will defeat the bad guys and save your friends." Haru said with a small smile and patted her head. She rubbed her eyes and brightly smiled at Haru.
