SCHLKT!
"It was easy," Es saw all the things now lying dead on the ground, which would have taken so ti, but it was much faster.
"Don't go away from ," Ryuk knelt while Es gripped his cloth from behind, seeing him doing sothing with the only remaining half-dead creature among all of the present ones.
'How did he turn into this?' Ryuk narrowing his gaze, looked at the muscular creature who was none other than Priest Kermit, now sohow changed into a hideous ugly creature.
[Host, it seems he went into a place filled with dense Demonic energy.]
'Can you heal him?' Ryuk inquired while already aware of the answer.
[No, Host.]
"Es, how far is Demon territory from here?" he inquired.
"Not much, why?"
"Is there any way for soone to bring demon seed here?" On the backs of every creature, a black parasite-like thing bubbling like a small balloon was evident of the reason for them to beco like this.
"If you are talking about those things, then it is a gift from the Demon Queen herself," Es's eyes followed Ryuk's gaze as she inford.
"A gift?" Ryuk turned his gaze towards her, narrowing, while not understanding the aning of the gift.
"It is a disease which is pandemic in many places; I ca to this town to cure it," Es inford about the widespread disease while leaning and moving her hand to touch it.
"Stop it, what are you even doing?" Ryuk gripped her hand, not letting her touch the corpse.
"...are you afraid that it will harm ?" Es pointed her other hand towards herself, inquiring, with her eyes fixed on him.
"Yes," Ryuk stated, not averting his gaze.
"T-this, I..." Es couldn't find the words to speak, seeing his such straightforward deanor.
"...I am going to touch it," expecting sothing, she increased force in her hand.
"It's your choice," Ryuk averted his gaze, slowly standing.
"Wait, weren't you going to keep staring at ?" Es, feeling disappointed, slowly stood from her place, directly holding Ryuk's hand on her initiative.
"Hey Es, we just t so hours ago, right?" Ryuk, not asking directly but keeping moving forward, signaled towards her alignnt towards him in such short span of ti.
"Yes," Es kept moving while holding his hand, looking straight.
"I don't see you as you see , Es," Ryuk was not dense enough to not get the clues from earlier, her pranking him just after she ca to know about him having so lover was one of them.
"Of course, I know, but isn't it enough that you know my na without even telling you?" Es turned her eyes towards him, feeling amused at how he could make such a silly mistake.
'.....' Ryuk averted his gaze, understanding he did forget this in the heat of the mont, realizing how small but crucial mistake he made.
Sowhat old mories also played a big role in making his tongue slip.
"It's fine, I don't need any reason, but can you call my na again?" Not paying attention to the front, Es's eyes were fixed on him.
"We arrived," Ryuk halted, informing Es, making her slightly disappointed but knowing that work was necessary.
BANG!
The huge stone gate beca a victim of Ryuk's kick, instantly shot open while several cracks ford, still intact but now useless.
"Y-you! How did you people enter here?" A man with his right eye bulged into a black and red striken pupil, while the other eye was buried inside fat on his outer skin, looked at the arrived figures.
[Control yourself, Host.]
The system instantly inford, feeling the surge of killing intent oozing from Ryuk witnessing the things in front of him.
It was the sa thing that made him destroy the whole Goddess Fela's monastery in the past life, but right now, it was even worse.
What he saw was small children with their limbs replaced with the sa bulged creatures, so had eyes looking out of them while a few seed dead with only those parasites alive.
A scene that was enough to shred that guy instantly, but he seed to be delayed.
SWISH
"You monster!" Es's golden pupils shone with killing intent as her body closed the distance between her and the man, instantly punching his face.
BAM!
"Kughh—thud!" Colliding with the stone wall, the man's figure fell to the ground with the only remaining big bulged eyes now inverted inside due to the punch.
[....]
'Nice shot, Es,' Ryuk approached one of the children whose lower body was a bulk of flesh with veins clearly visible. Not caring about anything, he lifted the boy.
"Arrrfff...." The child tried to speak, but the aftereffects of tornt had already numbed his mind.
"It's fine, I will heal you," Ryuk reassured, taking the child in his embrace, caressing his back softly, while looking at seven more kids like him.
BAM!
"You piece of shit!"
'Again, a nice shot,' Ryuk kept looking at the white-dressed woman giving so kicks to the man who was none other than the Mayor himself.
BANG!
'And you say I have blood-seeing preferences,' Ryuk moved towards her while holding the child, arriving and looking down at the half-dead Mayor.
"Why isn't your dress tainted?" Noticing no blood stains on her white dress, he inquired.
"It's a gift from grandma," Es replied, not paying attention to Ryuk, slowly leaning down and punching the Mayor again until he turned fully dead from half-dead.
clap-clap
"Now, I feel good," Cleaning her hand, she turned towards Ryuk who was holding the child, making her golden pupils visible from within the mask slightly beco soft, seeing the state of the little one.
But turning her eyes towards the young man, masked in black and also clad in a black suit, a genuine small smile ford on her face. Stretching her hand on the child's back, she added, "It's reassuring that you don't hate them."
Her words ant about the natural instincts of many humans who would find sothing like this repulsive or, in a literal sense, disgusting to touch.
Ryuk understood her aning, but paid little attention to his own bare hands in contact with the bulging tumor filled with pus. Turning towards the other children with a narrowed gaze, he added, "If one finds them ugly, then they have yet to see how a human heart looks like."
'....' Hearing his words and understanding the experiences he had gone through to say sothing like that, Es placing her hand behind slowly leaned forward, with the white mask covering her face, adding, "But, aren't your heart beautiful?"
"...I don't think it is any better."
With those words, Ryuk moved from there but was caught by the woman who interrupted while tilting her upper body with hands behind, adding, "Not everyone's heart is ugly, you can see mine."
"Not interested," Siding beside her, he moved towards other children and lifted another two, not caring about pus or blood they reeked, tainting his skin, only thing in his mind was helping them.
"Oh my, it is very heavy!"
Suddenly pulling him towards the direction was a voice. Looking there, he saw a woman who was weaker than normal adult trying to lift four children, added with their extra grown tissues making each one heavier than 70 kg.
'....' Ryuk could not help himself, finally not having any other chance, he snapped his fingers.
Snap
WHOOSH
Instantly all of the kids accompanied with Es were covered in Ether, elevating in the air, with her golden pupils widened looking towards him, who only suggested, "Don't force your tiny muscles and do so physical exercise."
"...you are right," Es nodded while flailing her hand like swimming in the air, which Ryuk, understanding, let her co near him.
Arriving in front of him, elevated to his eye length, both of their eyes eting, she stated, "Why don't we do so intense exercise together, tonight?"
