Chapter 54 - Chapter 54. Well

Kim shakes his head repeatedly, he raise both of his arm up in a position of a shrug.

"See I told you to just leave them alone, these demons are rude."

Yuriel sat down at a nearby bench, she clench onto her wound tightly. She let out a small groan, took three deep breaths before closing her eyes.

"Kim, I wouldn't forgive myself if I just let it happen, as long as I am able to stop something, I will."

Kim sighed, he sat near her asking if she need anything. She shook her head and become silent. Her breathing was rough, almost like she was losing consciousness. Her skin looked like it was turning pale.

"Kim, wake me up in a few minutes, I'm feeling sleepy…"

After a few minutes of her resting. Kim tried shaking Yuriel to wake up but she didn't.

"Shoot, her mana is slowly depleting, I think. If all her mana gone, the fire patch that's blocking her blood from flowing out will cause a huge issue. I need to find a healing station fast."

Kim got up from the bench, he wander around a little, hesitantly asking passersby demons for help, but they all ignore his plead for help, some look at him with an intent to kill.

When Kim thought all was lost, he felt a tap on his shoulder, someone was behind him. He turned around to see the same hooded figure from before.

"Get your friend, I know a place."

The hooded figure voice was soft spoken, a calming tune created by the nature. It felt so natural yet so unreal. The voice sound feminine and soothing.

Kim was caught off guard by the hooded figure voice, he slaps himself snapping out of it. The hooded figure looked at Kim with confusion.

"Well, do you want to save your friend or not?"

"I do."

Kim said. The hooded figure started walking toward the street that was in ahead of them.

"Then I suggest you get your friend and start carrying her!"

Kim looked at figure with some doubts, he took a quick glance at Yuriel.

"Well, this is my only option. I'm force to accept this stranger 'help'."

Kim and the hooded figure walked a few distance before reaching a small house, the material covering the docile house was mainly straws. There was a pathway, on the side was a few crimson flower Kim saw when battling the spider.

The hooded figure took a steps foward.

"Well aren't you coming?"

She asked Kim who was carrying Yuriel sleeping body. Kim was barely able to hold onto his friend body, he have to walk at a slow and steady pace so that it won't open up Yuriel's wound.

Kim give out a nod, sweats came falling down.

"This is the first time I'm able to carry someone, well ever since I came here. I have been running around so my lower body strength is probably way stronger though I can't say the same for my upper body."

Kim slowly walked toward the house, each steps he took he make sure he is being careful. They enter the house, it was a three room house. Complete with a bathroom as the other room, the living room was also the kitchen, as well as it having some furniture and decoration.

The room inside the house look bigger, it was constructed with woods rather than straws. The hooded figure went to a table and placed something down, Kim stood by the front door idling.

"Well, place your friend on my bed."

The hooded figure said as she took off her hoodie. A red hair girl with blue blissfull eyes was reveal, her skin looked about smooth, like a tool after it been forged and sandpapered.

Her gaze dazzled Kim, her lips were in the color of rose.

Kim wasn't expecting this, his body completely froze.

"Shoot, a beautiful girl! Now I can't speak huh, this the same with Filo, RIP Filo. But whenever I talk with Yuriel, I don't act like this."

Kim continues to stand there as he inner monologue to himself. The girl got up over to Kim and started carrying Yuriel body with ease, Kim didn't notices till Yuriel body was place onto the girl's bed.

The girl handed Kim a empty bucket, Kim looked at the girl with confusion as he inspected the bucket.

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

Kim asked. The girl looked at Kim with an unimpressed expression, she sighed.

"I want you to twirl and dance with it you fool. Go get me some water so that I could wipe all of the blood off her."

Kim could felt the sarcasm peircing through him, he shudder out in embarrassment before asking where he was going to get the water.

"It's behind the house, there should be a well there and while you do that, I have to start undressing her so that I can clean her wound, so get moving!"

Kim followed what the girl said. He left through the front door and made his way to the back of the house, he looked around a bit before seeing a small well in a distance.

"Ah, that must be it."

As he make his way towards the well, he heard grunting and yelling behind the well.

"Stupid, stupid demons! I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. Looking down at me because I'm half human, screw them! F*ck, why am I even half human f*ck!"

Kim looked at the unslightly child muttering to himself as he spur out some fouls words.

"Dumb brat using such profanity, I would never."

He walked toward the well and saw a rope nearby laying on the ground, he grabs the rope and tied a strong knot to the bucket. He gently lower the bucket till it reach the water level, he wait as the bucket naturally fill itself by submerging the bucket in the water. Once Kim saw that the bucket is full, using all of his strength, he gently pulled it back up to the surface.

"Finally, I'm done, that was a bit tough but the bucket is full and now I just have to go back."

Kim held onto the bucket with both of his hands, it was a bit heavy for him so he struggle walking a bit. While walking back to the house, he thought to himself.

"That girl isn't a demon, she is a human. That child must've been her son. How did someone beautiful created that dumb brat? Life is full of mysteries that will never be answer."

Kim smirk a bit almost like he could relate to what he just said. Simply put Kim isn't beautiful as well {it} have no idea why he is talking bad about other when he could've just looked in a mirror. The {white text} smirk before saying.

{That was friendly fire Kim you know that?}

"Shut up!!!"

Kim scoffed at the {white text} as he is annoyed by {its} presence. The half breed demon looked up and stand up from his self pities. There he saw Kim walking to the house as he struggled to carry the bucket full of water.

"What that human doing? That monkey!!!"
