From Another World

Nonetheless, it was Diana, frozen in place, staring right at us. I didn't know what is with her reaction.

"W-What is this Shane?" She asked while pointing at Dazel and looking at me.

"What is it Diana? I c-can explain this just stay calm." I gestured at her to wait and held out my both hands.

"Who is this human Shane?" Dazel asked.

"This is Diana, and Diana this is-." Just as I was about to say a fake name. Diana cut me off immediately.

"Dazel... don't need to tell me Shane."

I gulped, I was sweating. How did she know?

"H-How did you know Diana?"

"The clerk told me everything I need to know about this demon lord." She pointed directly at Dazel but she didn't notice.

"Diana... I can explain why she is here-." Now Dazel cut me off.

"Human? What are you blabbering about?" She came close to Diana and sniffed her.

"W-What are you doing you beast?!" She backed off immediately.

"Hmm, average but you got some potential human."

"What are you talking about?"

"Um, Diana... I think she can sniff out your magic power..." I answered her question and stopped Dazel from talking.

"How does that work?"

"I really don't know."

"Okay, but what is this Shane? Why is she here?"

I explained to her of why Diana is here, how she was suspended as a demon lord and I was also asking for help for her to make an alias for Diana in the meantime of staying here.

"Okay, I believe you but what kind of name would she want?"

"I don't know, why not ask here?"

"You do it. You're much closer to her."

Sigh... "Okay, Daze-." She's asleep. She's sleeping soundly at the edge of my bed near my feet.

"How is she asleep? We just talked for about 10 minutes?"

"Did the clerk tell you about her childish personality at all?"

"She didn't tell me that."

"Well, she is the strongest of the six dragons but she got the mind of a child."

"But damn, she doesn't have the body of a child though." She got sad all of a sudden and looked down at her chest. I got confused why and I compared Diana's and Dazel's chest.

Oh, I know why. "Don't be so problematic about, you know, that."

"I'm envious of this childish dragon."

Why? Are chest sizes that big of a deal to you?

"That's okay Diana don't worry about her."

She sighed and said "Back to business, what kind of alias can we give her?"

"I don't know, just think of something not so obvious. She isn't known in her human form though."

"Can we call her Diamond?"

"And why Diamond?"

"Think about it, she dazzles and it kinda suits her. And she's a child so she might like it."

"Are you really sure about this?"

"Yes I am!"

"Well then, Diamond it is!" I shouted and Dazel suddenly woke up.

"What this about diamonds Shane?" She sat up and scratched her eyes.

"Dazel, how about we call you Diamond?"

"D-Diamond?!" The sleepy Dazel suddenly got hyperactive and jumped into my face with stars in her eyes. Diana's face turned bright red and told her.

"W-What are you doing to Shane you beast?!"

"What? Is it wrong to jump into people's faces like this? I do this all the time! And by the way, call me Diamond dear." She winked at her.

"Ugh! Fine! Just get off of Shane!"

"Hmm?" Dazel smirked.

"Ugh! Diamond..."

"Good." She got off of me and sat at the edge of the bed again.

"So Dazel, um I mean Diamond, do you like it?" I asked Dazel.

"I definitely do Shane!" She smiled widely up to her ears.

"Psh" Diana looked away, she looks pissed. But why?

Well then, atleast we finally got an alias that can hide Dazel's identity and it's a plus that she likes it.

Dazel looked sleepy and she collapsed at the edge of the bed. She only got energetic because she got an alias, or a nickname? I checked the time with the crystal watch and it was 11:07pm, damn it is late, better get a good night's rest for tomorrow.

"Diana..."

"Hmm, yes Shane?"

"It's getting late, you should go back, and I'm fine here on my own."

"I'm sleeping here."

"Huh? W-Why? I don't want to trouble you, besides you've done enough I can't thank you enough." I smiled at her.

"It's okay Shane, besides I gotta guard the both of you, who knows what you would do to this voluptuous dragon."

"Who do you think I am? I'm not a pervert!"

'I'm just joking Shane, hahaha. But I gotta guard that demon lord, I don't know what her plans is so I gotta guard her if she does something suspicious."

"It's just one night Diana, and she's asleep. She's harmless Diana..."

"You're calling a demon lord and the strongest dragon of the six dragons harmless?"

"I didn't mean it like that, okay you can sleep here. But where are you going to sleep? And you still got your armor on."

"Wait, I'll change."

"O-Okay?"

After a couple of minutes I waited for Diana to finish change, she finished changing and fixed her hair. I didn't see Diana like this, her hair is down, no armor in any part of her body. She's cute in her pajamas though.

"Now, scooch over."

"W-What?"

"I'm going to sleep Shane."

"W-Wait, where?"

"Right here, in the bed."

"W-What?!"

"You heard me, in this bed."

"Well, okay then." I scooched over and she then slipped in into the bed, she's looking in the opposite at me.

"Are you alright here Diana?"

"I'm alright Shane." She's bright red, but I'm not sure because she's looking away from me.

"Well, goodnight Diana."

'Goodnight S-Shane..."

I faced the window before I decided to sleep. Why is Diana acting weird today? Dazel is suspended as a demon lord and she's at the ends of my toes sleeping soundly, the one who attempted to kill me is hanging out with me? I know she's bored but she gotta have someone other than me?

I looked at the window and yawned, I think it's time to go to sleep, tomorrow's a new day... I slowly closed my eyes and dozed off...

What awaits us tomorrow though? Is Dazel really here to hangout? Is she really harmless? I'll just have to wait for tomorrow...
