Chapter 9: 9. An unexpected night.

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was a white ceiling, I was in the infirmary.

Remembering all the previous events, I just got up and went home. As I walked, I heard someone calling my name, but I couldn't process anything and just looked out of the corner of my eye at a blonde hair.

I arrived at a park, and sat on an empty bench, while watching the children play, I was able to regain my consciousness a little and think clearly.

If I have the affinity of lightning, it would be impossible not to attract attention, I would be hunted and used as a cow to produce such an affinity in quantity, and one would say, fucking every day is every man's dream and you reject it and that's it?

well, no brother, it's not like that, the first thing they will do is put me in a machine and suck me dry, it would be simple, the second is that they would do experiments that I don't want to imagine with me to see the qualities of my magic and they would deny me freedom Until I die, it doesn't matter that I'm a student at the academy under the wing of the headmistress, the government will do whatever it takes to get my body and that's only if the king doesn't allow it and sends me to other domains for more experiments with to achieve a better peace on behalf of the world.

The reason for all this commotion is because 500 years ago, there was a great war with all 4 races together against the demon god, when they thought they were going to lose, 4 unknown heroes entered the battle along with the emperor of humans and they were able to even the battle and seal it in the end.

The elven hero had an affinity with the void which was a variation of the wind, he was able to leave only a hole where a city once stood, the dwarf had a variation with metals, his metals were harder than diamond. the demon-possessed jet flames instead of normal red, capable of burning dragons and never being able to go out.

The reason for not mentioning it before is that those elements were almost impossible to have with those variables since the user would have to spend decades training to be able to understand the meaning of each one, there are other magic variables but they can become rarer or less rare since it depends on the user's understanding.

the emperor had the ice attribute and the light attribute of the goddess, although it may seem similar to normal light, his firepower was not, the legend says that the goddess herself came down and gave the gift to the emperor so that he can help in the battle against the demon god, the other human was the rarest among all since there was never a similar case, his attribute was lightning, it was not a variation of some basic element, it was a lost element, it appeared once in throughout the history of the earth and never reappeared again, the legend says that this hero appeared out of nowhere and after the war he went somewhere and there were never any more reports of him, not a family or anything.

And now it turns out that I am the one with the lightning affinity, I feel that my whole life will go down the drain and there will be no going back, I should leave here, to some town far from everything, just like this-

I looked to my left and saw her.

red eyes, long white hair, and a pair of forward-pointing black horns.

Aiko Evilness.

what is she doing here? she should be with the officer looking for her mother even until midnight, cutting off my line of thought she told me "did you see my mother?"

I could only roll her eyes and reply:

"How can I know who your mother was? If I never saw her?"

-My mother has the same appearance as me, unlike her hair, which is white, hers is black.

"Sorry, I came to rethink my life and I'm only here for 5 minutes, I didn't see anyone with your description"

- I see, sorry for asking.

while she got up with her eyes wide open I had the idea to do my bit and help her a little.

"Why don't you call your father and ask him, maybe he can help you"

-I thought so too but I don't want to bother him and make him worry.

"Not to notify him and that your mother is not found, would you not?"

- You're right, sorry, my head is still in a mess I can't think clearly, I'll communicate with him now.

I take out a sphere from I don't know where, and after shining for a couple of seconds the face of a man with white hair appeared and the first thing he said when he saw his daughter was:

- how are you my dear most beautiful spring candy-

-! father, please help me mom is lost!.

-Breathe sky, breathe and tell me.

'How well they get along I thought as he listened to them.

After telling him everything that happened, the demon king only said:

-umm

'What nerves of steel' as he watched, I couldn't help but marvel at his great mental resilience not to lose his composure in the face of his wife's kidnapping, for now, let's see how this ends.

- I suspect it was the humans who did it.

- that!!! , as di-

- shhh, honey I know it must be hard to believe but there are no other options, seeing that she wasn't waiting for you outside the bathroom that it would be impossible for her to leave you out of nowhere, and since you couldn't find her even with the help of the police, it must have been planned, the question would be why do they want your mother, her mana core maybe?

"What if they want yours and just captured her as bait for you?"

- and whoever asked for your opinion, human despises

You are reading story An npc who just wants to live in peace without getting into the plot at novel35.com

- father! he is the one who advised me to call you, please behave.

- Is that right? Okay, since I have no way of reaching you right now, I'll ask the director of All to go there, ask that human to help you, and HEY YOUR HUMAN, IF MY WIFE DOESN'T APPEAR, I WILL TEAR YOUR FLESH FROM YOUR BODY AND THEN I WILL BRING THE-

As I watched the sphere turn off, Aiko turned to me and said:

- please, I know that you are a total unknown, even useless in battle, but you belong to the same academy as me and I cannot do it alone at this moment, my mind is a mess with every second that passes knowing that my mother can be being moved further away from me.

'How direct, but not wrong' I looked at the girl who had tears in her eyes and reviewed my options, if I helped her, I would get a favor from the famous demon king, known as the hunter and creator of artifacts, and the favor of one of the future girls of kiriko, thinking about my pros and cons that are dying when I get against that king's advisor if they discover me I could only say.

"I will do it in exchange for 3 things"

- I'll do anything, please.

'don't tempt me please', "I want a mask, a reward after this and never of ever, will you mention this to others except for your father who will reward me, is that clear?

- I have it, please help me.

'how innocent' I thought before hitting him on the forehead

{ouch}

- why did you hit me!?

"You are too innocent, and if I were one of them, you should make me sign a mana contract before agreeing to something so delicate"

-But I can't think clearly, I'm scared.

"It is normal to have him, for that you need to learn from your father and not lose your composure, it is not that he is not afraid of losing his wife, seeing the treatment he gave you, he must be scared to death if something happens to him, but still So he was able to think clearly. If you don't face fear, it will block your mind and if it blocks your mind, you won't be able to act when you need it, carve this into your mind, your enemies will never expect you to recover, they will try to kill you if they see the opportunity."

seeing her give me a nod, I take out a contract from her storage ring and we sign that in exchange for helping to find her mother, she will make her father reward me, I didn't think she needed me to put something as serious as not telling anyone, since the punishment for non-compliance would be to lose something depending on the quality of the contract, in the worst case a person would lose his life for non-compliance. so he just didn't tell a stranger about the secret and I decided to trust her.

I didn't know that confidence would bite me in the butt a few days later.

As she took out from her storage ring a beautiful black full face mask with space for the eyes, there were blue lines on the sides that matched my eyes, I put it on and received a simple katana from her, but since she is the daughter of the demon king nothing she has should be simple.

I asked him if he had a way to locate her, and he told me that his father gave him a compass that points to the location of his family members, he did not take it out before because although he was innocent, he was not stupid, his father told him that he never took out the compass before the eyes of others and he did so, he trusted the police who said that his mother was nearby, so he thought it was not necessary to take it out.

we ran for 30 minutes, and I must say that if she hadn't given me stamina potions, she would have given up long ago, I must work out.

We arrived at an abandoned workshop, strangely the place seemed empty, I never lowered my guard, I looked at all the corners and we entered.

Upon entering the whole place was empty and dark, the only light was at the bottom of what looked like a double door, arriving I felt an ominous premonition, and memories of the game came to me, when Aiko discovered the death of her father, the whole area where she was at that moment ended up charred by her flames that got out of control, my sister didn't tell me anything else because she says that the screen went black for a moment and jumped to the next scene.

so I pulled over and asked him for an advanced healing potion, he looked at me weird for a second and handed it to me, and told him to hope she would see the perimeter if there was any trap.

and when I entered and saw what was inside, I felt how humanity can do anything to get more things.

On a chair full of dried blood, there was an old woman, clothes in tatters, cuts everywhere, her fingers were in the wrong positions along with her nails and other things that are not visible to the naked eye, if it were not for her Little breath, I'd think she's dead.

Holding back all the urge to vomit, I went over and put the vial in her mouth, and seeing that she didn't seem to swallow, I could only say at that moment, "your daughter is waiting for you to come back", and as if she were taking what was left of her will, I swallow once, then 2, and so on until I finished it, I saw how his wounds began to close and I marveled at the advances in medicine for demons.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she said was:

- Where is my daughter?

The door burst open and I heard a scream:

- Mommy!!!

I could only see that scene with nostalgia, I remembered how one of the few beings who gave me love in my childhood was my mother and while I thought about the past, I felt cold on the back of my neck and I ran towards the mother and daughter hugging each other, and a feeling It gave me a stab in the back and when I turned around and saw there was a rough-looking man, bald,...

'This guy isn't broke is he?'

- rank b assassin, mark tones, get off my prey kid

'great, I couldn't even practice my fencing today and I have to face hit men'

"If one of them dies, a guy will kill me."

"As you like boy," he said and pounced on me.
