Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 55

(next day Anna's room)

Anna (notice after opening her eyes): How did I get here? (in her mind after sitting up) I almost forgot I'm no longer half-human.

Keith (after closing the door while wearing his pyjamas): Don't overthink about yesterday milady.

Anna (look at Keith): You both need to cut the formal stuff.

Sabrina (reveals herself after being behind Keith): How did you know I was here?

Anna: I'm not sure.

Sabrina (walking to Anna): Let's get you fresh up and give you a haircut before having breakfast.

Keith (while opening the door): That's my cue to leave. I'll see you two at breakfast.

Sabrina (looks at Anna after Keith left): Do you remember what happened yesterday?

Anna (while getting out of bed): I do and I don't regret my decision. It will take a while to get used to the changes but at least Keith isn't the only demon around.

Sabrina: I like your positive thinking. (going on one knee) Don't worry. Keith and I will be guiding you as we have been. You'll return to the battlefield stronger than before.

Anna: Thank you.

(living room)

Anna (opens the door wearing her pyjamas while having tailbone-length hair): Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Keith (sitting at the table): I like the new haircut.

Anna (walking towards Keith): I was going to have it a bit shorter but Sabrina said I look good with long hair.

Keith (while Anna sits next to him): I agree.

Sabrina (pouring a drink into Anna's cup): Maybe you should have a haircut yourself.

Keith: No thanks I'm good. (look at Anna after she taste her drink) What's wrong?

Anna (holding her glass cup): This blood tastes different.

Sabrina: That's because before you only need blood to calm down the red eyes but now you need blood to survive to stop your thrust.

Keith: Does it mean Anna can't eat normal food?

Sabrina: She can.

Anna (while eating a sandwich): No wonder Keith's blood didn't taste nice before.

Keith (while picking up a glass cup): It's sad hearing that my blood was nasty.

Anna: I'm sorry.

Keith (pat Anna's head): It's cool. I couldn't help myself from teasing you.

Yurei (appearing near Sabrina while Keith and Anna eat): What else has changed with Lady Anna?

Sabrina: Well Anna is stronger in physical and magic strength. Also, it seems her illness has disappeared so she's free from the cold temperatures.

Keith (look at Anna): Now you don't have to worry about the weather.

Anna (look at Keith): Right.

Sabrina: However we have a problem.

Anna: What's that?

Sabrina: Normally after the ritual you rest for two days but since you change races once again I would like to spend a week training you.

Anna: To see what else changes and to see what other skills I might obtain.

Sabrina: Correct but that also means you'll remain here during your training.

Anna: I'm fine with that. (look at Keith) Can I leave things to you?

Keith (standing): Of course. Leave everything to me.

Anna (remembering): Sabrina will Keith be able to return to the palace?

Sabrina: He can. You both just need to use that travel symbol to leave and enter this realm.

Keith (before leaving): I'll be getting ready to leave then.

Sarbina (while Keith walks past her): I left fresh clothes in your room. I think they're better than your usual outfit.

Keith: Thanks for letting me know.

Anna (looks at Sabrina after the door closes): Sabrina why don't you eat?

Sabrina: I may have a physical body but I'm still not alive meaning I don't need to eat.

Anna: I see.

Sabrina: However in physical form, I still feel pain but in spirit form, I'm able to recover from my injuries.

Anna (standing): I'll remember that.

Sabrina: Ready to start your training?

Anna: I am.

(human realm forest)

Keith (after appearing from his symbol): This shirt feels so weird. (moving his left shoulder) Well, it was time for me to get used to using button shirts.

Keith wearing a jungle green button-up shirt that has the collar undone with middle-length sleeves, a black ankle-length coat with no sleeves, black gloves that don't cover his fingers, black trousers and black oxford shoes.

Yurei (appears near Keith while he ties his hair into a high ponytail): Why didn't you say your goodbye to Lady Anna?

Keith (looking at Yurei): Because I don't want to disturb her training. (letting go of his hair) By the way, why are you here Yurei?

Yurei: Lady Anna ask me to accompany you while she's in the palace.

Keith: I thought so.

Yurei (following while Keith started walking): Lord Keith sorry for asking this question but what weapon will you mainly be using?

Keith: My katana. When I showed my katana to Anna I decided it was time to no longer hold back by using my second-best swordsman skills. Since she's going all out in this war as her sword I must use my master skills.

Yurei: I sense true honesty with those words but I'm surprised your master skills are never rusty since you barely use it.

Keith: It surprises me too.

Yurei: Lord Keith if it's alright with you. Can I be your shadow?

Keith: What do you mean by that?

Yurei: Since your Lady Anna Knight I thought it be easier to report my findings to you instead of reporting to her. I talked to Lady Anna about this and she said it was up to you.
