A World of Monster Girls

Chapter Thirteen

Maybe?

That doesn't sound reassuring, at all. I kept pointing my gun at her, and even Eve didn't relax, her body in a position ready to pounce.

"I promise you, I won't do anything. Rather, I'm here to help you."

Help me?

Sure, you helped me quite a lot back in that room, when you threw a god-damn flower at my dick and tried to violate my mind!

"What makes you think I want your help? Hell, why would I even trust you?"

"How long have you been in this floor?"

Eh? What's up with this question?

"...Why does that matter to you?"

"You've been here for quite a while, yes? And yet, you haven't found an exit to this place." She said calmly, her voice soothing. "That's because of the Snake Demon. She casted a spatial spell that hides the exit, and finding it is practically impossible."

Woah what. You're telling me a demon can manipulate SPACE itself, and hide the door? What kind of-

"This is the reason no one had managed to escape from this place when she attacked. Even escaping from the windows is not an option, as the Spatial Spell will just warp you back to your previous location."

...

That... sounds horrible. What the hell am I supposed to do then?!

No- wait, I don't know if what she said is true. I have got to try it.

I kept aiming my gun at her, and with my other hand, I took a small piece of rubble on the ground that dropped from the cracked walls. I glanced at my surroundings and found a window.

I didn't try to escape from a window because, well, they were too small for me. I'm not sure if even a child will fit in those gaps. Not sure why they made it like that, but that doesn't matter, for now.

Since the window was destroyed, I slowly aimed my rock and threw it with all my strength.

And sure enough, just as it was about to leave the building, it suddenly disappeared and-

*Thump*

...? I looked at the ground, and I saw the same rock I just threw.

Shit.

It's true.

Damn it.

"Do you trust me now?" She said with a smug smile on her face, clearly thinking that she had proved her innocence.

"No."

"W-What?! Why?!"

What do you mean, why?! You were trying to suck my very soul not so long ago! Of course I'm not trusting you yet!

"Why are you even helping me, anyways?"

"Hmph," Probably pissed because I'm still not trusting her, she grunted, "I'm simply interested. Why didn't you kill me back there?"

... That again?

Honestly? I don't know. I don't know why I spared her. I just couldn't kill her, for whatever reason. It's weird because I feel like if it was, for example, Ivy, I don't think I would've hesitated to kill her.

Maybe because... I didn't feel any killing intent? When I was fighting her, some vines that should've injured me just suddenly changed their trajectory a bit, and avoided me, as if she didn't want to injure me. It was simply odd. It wasn't like Ivy, whose attacks had all the intent of ending my life right there.
