Makai Hongi – 46
“No matter what you say, I am going.”
I glared at Nehyor. Of course, someone as low as me glaring at him probably meant next to nothing.
Still, the room had gone silent.
No one, not even Lobos, opened their mouth.
We continued to stare at each other.
“What? Golan. Do you want to fight?”
“If that’s what you want. Why not?”
Could I win? I doubted it. But I couldn’t withdraw.
I would have nothing to stand on if I did.
“That’s too bad, Golan. I thought we understood each other better than this.”
“Who cares about that. This is the Demon World. If you want your way, you have to use force.”

Said Saifo as he poked his head in from outside.
“Hey, I told you to avoid getting in any fights.”
“I didn’t get in. I was pulled in.”
Well, I suppose there was a difference.
After all, it just went against the very identity of every being in the Demon World. If someone attacked you, you fought back.
“Lobos… Who are they?”
Nehyor said as he pointed to the three unconscious wolves.
“My sons. I brought them here as adjutants.”
