"What are you saying? Demon King? Why do I feel like I have heard of this before?"
"Because you did."
"And who are you anyway?"
"I'm Joe."
"Joe?" Calix tilted his head.
"Joe Mama! Hah! Gottem!"
The woman slapped her lap and laughed at Calix. As if she was looking at a joke.
"..."
"Anyway, just like what usually happens, you will forget this dream."
"Why?"
"Because it is what it is. Even I do not have control over this shit."
"I don't even know what you're talking about."
"Calix... I already explained this to you so many times but you're still going to forget everything."
It seemed that this was not their first time meeting.
The Elf in front of him had a shining ocean hair and the colors of her eyes were different. She was exuding nobility, more powerful than Esmeralda Margaret and Shoujo Ramune.
"Dejavu..."
"Calix. This situation happened so many times that I can't bother explaining it to you."
"Let me guess... We do not have time to dillydally?"
"That's right. So I will explain it to you as quickly and firmly as possible. Do not face the Demon King. Your strength is not enough to kill him. I recommend you to build a party to assist you with killing the Demon King."
"... Okay?" Calix was skeptical.
"Do not underestimate the Demon King. Your ability will never work on him unless you reached DemiGod. You already acquired your Hero Term Attribute but you need to level up more."
"Is this some kind of novel shit or something? So what am I? The Hero that will kill the Demon King?"
"Demon King killed many Gods, don't underestimate him. Even Arthur Pendragon can't kill him quickly. We bled, we lost so many lives, just to defeat him."
"Arthur here, Arthuria there. Can you just please tell me his exact real name!"
"This is not the important thing right now! I want you to be prepared!"
"Fuck you--"
Right before he could finish his sentence, Calix realized that his vision wobbled. The scenery around him cracked like glasses as he woke up.
...
...
...
"Shit!"
Calix yelled in the morning. He jolted up after waking up. He felt like he dreamed something important but he forgot about it.
"... I feel like I have to remember something important. Well, if I forgot it, it's probably not important."
"Ngghh. Calix, good morning."
Lou wakes up next to him. She was still sleepy.
"Lou, it's still early in the morning. You still have enough time to sleep. I will wake you up later."
The woman needed a proper rest.
"Hm."
Lou returned to sleep.
"..."
As for Calix, he didn't have the mood to sleep again. Not when he woke up by something unknown.
"I feel like I should remember something. He yawned and decided to go to the kitchen. He wanted to drink coffee to wake himself up."
He looked at the watch and realized that it was 3 am in the morning. It was very early.
"We are going to the University at 7:30 am to ride the bus that will take us to the border."
The border was a region heavily protected by militaries. Almost every day, there would be small skirmishes against Aberrants.
He stood up and went to the kitchen, only to find Shoujo drinking alcohol.
"Shoujo? Why are you drinking at this time? It's too late?"
He frowned and approached the fox woman.
"Shut up~ You don't have any right to tell me what I want to do~"
"That's right. But I know what's right for you."
Calix grabbed the bottle of scotch from her.
"You're too drunk."
"... Tch. Slap Soil~"
"..."
The woman grumbled and leaned on the table. She was drunk and tipsy. Her vocabulary was meshed.
"Anyway, why are you drinking at this time? I think you need to go to bed. Let's go."
He tried to carry her but Shoujo's next words stunned him.
"I'm scared to die..."
Calix paused and looked at her seriously.
"Shoujo, what are you talking about?"
"Shut up~"
For unknown reasons, Calix became worried about the fox woman in front of him.
Of course Calix hated Shoujo but he didn't want her to die. She didn't deserve that.
They had many passionate nights and it was false if Calix didn't develop feelings for her.
Seeing that the woman was in disarray, Calix asked her a question.
"What do you want me to do?"
"... I want you to kiss me."
She murmured adorably.
"You know what Shoujo, you're cute when you're drunk."
"Shut up~ Hmmm~"
Calix kissed her lips. Not only that, he devoured her mouth and invaded her tongue.
Shoujo was petrified yet delighted. The two started kissing, mixing their salivas.
"You taste like scotch."
"Hm~ Calix... Please don't forget me."
She smiled bitterly and kissed him back. The two shared another sexy time in the very early morning.
Calix embraced the woman with gentleness. He felt like Shoujo was asking for love and approval.
The next day, Shoujo woke up from her rest. She looked around. She recalled that Calix was with her.
Yet when she woke up, the man was already gone. She only found a small letter from him.
[You're going to be fine. Believe in me.]
It was an encouragement. Yet Shoujo hoped to hear it from him directly.
"I see... So he's gone."
Shoujo had a sad smile.
Today was their field trip. Calix and Lou would go to the border.
Shoujo suddenly felt lonely...
"I wish he said I love you instead."
She turned the paper and found another sentence.
[I love you.]
"... This bastard."
She grinned. Tears rolled down her face. She was suddenly afraid of death after realizing her true feelings for Calix.
