Chapter 17: Combat (Part 1)
Passing by the lobby, Borja suddenly spoke up: ”Oi human, is Metatron still at this hotel?”
Feisha turned around with a perfect sies, Mr Borja, but I cannot answer that question I have never met Mr Metatron”
Borja stared at him in shock ”You call him 'Mr Metatron'? You call Metatron 'Mr Metatron'!?”
With a name like that, was Metatron a lady after all? Feisha hesitated for a second, trying to think of a way to rescue the situation Before he could say anything, however, Borja spoke up again, nodding: ”But I guess you should call him Mr Metatron, huh”
…Then why the fuck did youdeal out of it!?
An idea occurred to Borja ”I want the room next to his”
”My apologies, I do not knohere Mr Metatron lives”
Borja narrowed his eye at Feisha ”Then what do you know, human?”
”I know thatcoldly
A crease appeared between Borja's brows ”What does that have to do with me?”
”Nothing I just happen to know that fact”
Borja walked a few steps before stopping abruptly and turning around with a sinister s me”
…That took hiure out? Feisha felt mild concern for the future of hell
Borja sent him a provocative look ”Do you knoho I am, human?”
”You are our esteeuest fro comment, Feisha knew to cut your losses at a certain point With little kids, a fewhead-on was a definite no-no, especially as this particular little kid has a powerful de at his back
Borja wagged his finger, saying: ”No, you're wrong I' from hell!”
As soon as he said the word ”hell”, Feisha felt a heavy i sound as he fell backwards, followed by droplets of blood splaying into the air
Hughes's quick reflexes prevented hiround and instead into his ar for a long time
”Hasn't your old ant on so around to fix Borja with a livid stare ”There'll be no one to take your corpse back after you die”
Borja turned his nose up at Gin ”Honna do about it? Don't think I'eneration antediluvian; if it weren't for Lilith, I'd have thrown you into the darkest cave in the abysses of hell for what you did to me!”
Feeling Hughes' curious gaze at his back, Gin waved a hand: ”All I did was force him to drink a whole pot of pepper water, then pick hi him around so he couldn't pee That's all I did, I swear You should know that I wouldn't have any interest in prepubescent brats even if they were served to me on a silver platter”
Borja ju ain?”
Gin just shrugged ”Seeing as Iso excited about?”
Borja gritted his teeth ”I'll definitely kill you this time and put your teeth in my collection, just you wait”
A yawn ”Is 'this ti it since two hundred years ago, isn't it tis like catchphrases need to keep up with the tie it to 'I'll try to kill you every time'? At least it shows your persistence”
Out of everything that he had said, the only thing that stuck out to Feisha was the phrase 'two hundred years ago' Feisha cupped his hands around his nose and stared at the pool of his blood on the ground So that means that no matter how baby-faced this little demon was, Feisha was still the baby around here
The teeth grinding was getting louder as Borja whipped around to scowl at Feisha Immediately, the pain in Feisha's nose seemed to intensify
”Weren't you going to take me to my room?” asked Borja
Feisha loosened his grip and the white-hot pain seared right to his forehead, causing tears to spill over his eyelashes He could hear so human”
”I'll take you to your roohes
Gin io too!”
”No, I want this human to take me there!” Borja insisted ”He needs to keep his word Don't tellother than run away and retreat”
Feisha wiped away his tears It took hih the pain, but what canise ”I'll…go…”
———————————-
Finally et the little demon to his roo a first aid kit The conclusion he ca around was that Noah's Ark didn't have such a thing
The pain was so intense that he could feel it in his teeth as he swayed around with greying vision If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to preserve huround already
”Then how…do you – ah – how do you take…care of…injuries?” he asked, hissing in pain
Hughes carefully supported his wavering body ”Dea knows healing ic, he can help you”
Feisha turned around to see an orange object standing behind hie of sy a spell under his breath
All Feisha felt were bones rearranging under his skin, al it with a reradually faded to a prickle, then went numb He touched his nose toDea a touched look
”I swear that from now on, just say the word and I'll happily take a bullet for you without a single complaint!”
”There is no need Just don't shoot me in the back”
Feisha thought about the thing he had pulled for Gin before and felt kind of bad Gin and Hughes were clearly thinking the sa Gin's smile twisted a bit
Feisha forced out a few laughs ”You guys can keep chatting, I' to find Isefel”
”For Borja?” Hughes asked understandingly
He gritted his teeth ”I' time bomb!”
Gin laughed at his misfortune ”I wish you luck If you don't succeed…then you'll probably have to hang around Dea all day”
