Uta - Everything is fine, but the air is still better here (she took a deep breath)
Suddenly, I felt dizzy, and I stumbled and fell. When my dizziness stopped, I stood up and looked at Diablo.
Uta - Dia... You've shrunk in height, ahahaha, look, look, we're the same height.
Diablo - (bows his head) I'm so sorry, my lady, I should have said this before, I haven't shrunk in height, you've grown and are already 20 years old.
Uta - What... How is this possible?
Diablo - (bows his head again) Time passes differently in the land of demons if you don't have demon blood. If you don't have it, 24 hours in the land of demons is equal to 5 years in humans. I'm guilty of taking away 10 years of your life.
Uta - this…
Diablo - (he raised his head and looked at me seriously) But! I don't regret my actions. If you could turn back time, I would still do the same.
Uta - why, why didn't you warn me about this!?
Diablo - I'm ready for any punishment.
Uta - answer my question, I don't get angry, I'm just curious.
Diablo - I knew for sure that my father's magic would help you...
Uta - Okay, let it work anyway, so I don't get angry, I'd rather have years of life cut off rather than what was before.
Diablo - I want to tell you about myself before going to bed tonight. Will you listen?
Uta - of course, I wanted to ask you this anyway, but I thought you didn't want to tell me.
Diablo - I'll tell you, but before that, let's visit your family and school first. It's been 2 days here and you've grown 10 years... Isn't that so... Aren't you cold?
He took off his cloak and put it on Uta
Diablo - you have such a beautiful body now...
Uta - (slaps him) You pervert, you've been staring at me for so long, haven't you?
Diablo - Sorry.
Uta - (smiles slightly) I'm sorry I hit you. It's my fault anyway, I didn't notice, and thanks for the cloak.
First, we went to the store and bought clothes, then we went to school to see the teacher. The teacher was shocked, as were my classmates. I talked to the teacher and learned that the principal had changed in the past 2 days, and how strictly he controlled both teachers and students. I even felt a little relieved that I wouldn't have to go to school anymore, but I was worried about how my family would take it.
On the way home, I saw my neighbors, who thought I was a relative of Uta. When I got home, I heard my parents talking outside the door. I instinctively opened the door and went in. My father was angry because a stranger had entered the house. My mother burst into tears. When my father asked what was making her cry, my mother said:
Mother - (with a tearful expression) It's her... It's her, it smells like her blood...
Father - That's impossible. He left 2 days ago...
Uta - (interrupting the conversation), Yes, father. I went to the land of demons two days ago, but when I came back, my body changed in an instant. It grew. Then Diablo told me that time passes differently in the land of demons for non-demons.
Diablo also came into the house.
Father - So you're 20 years now...
mother - Enryu, please go out with Diablo.
Dad took Diablo's arm, and they went outside.
Enryu - My wife is so serious, I haven't seen her since the wedding...
Diablo - What are they talking about?
Enryu - Aren't you a demon? Get up and listen, you have the best hearing here.
Diablo - If Uta thought I had heard them talking, she would have told me not to go out, because she didn't stop me, so I don't need to know what's going on there, (laughs) but I'm still curious... (looks up at the stars)
Enryu - So you'll do everything that Uta tells you?
Diablo - How else, I'm her... familiar.
Enryu - Is that the only reason? (laughter).
After talking to my mother, we all sat down at the table, and I told her everything that happened in the land of demons, and then we went to bed.
In the middle of the night, Diablo came into my room, woke me up, and told me that he wanted to tell me what he had promised me. I slid back and told him to lie down so he would tell me. He also got shy and lay down quietly.
Diablo - I don't know if you'll believe me or not, but let's start with the fact that I used to have a memory that wasn't from this world, my name was "Erza". (Uta's face turned serious) I died and was reborn here as a demon, then some incident happened and my memory started to fade, so I carved this information on a stone that hangs in my room in the demon land and told myself to read it every morning so I wouldn't forget, now I don't even remember how I carved it on the stone, before we went to hell I forgot something else and now I don't even remember what I was doing before you summoned me, after that my memory fading stopped, forgive me if it seems like I'm complaining now but I'm happy that I signed a contract with you. (fell asleep)
I was shocked when he said, "My name was Erza." That was my fiancée's name. Is this a coincidence? No, that's impossible. If I had been in this world at that time, he would have been 11. When I calmed down and was about to go to sleep, he started talking in her sleep:
Diablo - No, I'm... No...
I thought she was having a nightmare, so I would wake him up, and maybe he would go to his room. As soon as I put my hand on her, she started talking in her sleep again:
Diablo - Uta, I... love you...
I'd be lying if I told you I was shocked. I felt something similar from him. He's not a bad guy. Maybe I could have this relationship with him. I won't wake him up again. He's still sleeping. He used a lot of mana to open and close the portal. Well... I've gotten so used to a woman's body that my mind is starting to work as if I were a woman from the beginning. I've adopted feminine habits and mannerisms, because of that, they probably bullied me in the previous world, but no one here knows about it. (Turns around) I'm so tired, I had an emotional day today. (Yawns and falls asleep)
When I woke up, Diablo was asleep in the chair. I got up, took a shower, got dressed, woke Diablo up, and told him it was time for dinner, and then we were ready to go out.
We quickly had dinner and went to my father's. He is the guardian of the leader of this village. I told him that since I lost ten years, I didn't want to waste any more time for no reason, and that's why I was going to go on a trip, looking for adventures. My father smiled at me and said:
Enryu - it's your choice, this is your dream anyway.
Uta - I'm still a child, with a grown body (she hugs his father with a tearful face). Well, you have to tell Mother about this after I leave. Otherwise, she won't let me go. (gives him an envelope) After I leave, give her this letter to read.
My father agreed and secretly took Diablo and me away from my mother. On the way, while riding in a carriage, I started writing this story about what happened to me from my previous life to the present, and during this time, many sweet memories came to mind. I'm so grateful that I died in that world and came here, and from now on, a whole new world awaits me.
She puts the book aside, looks out the window again, yawns, leans on Diablo, and falls asleep
As soon as Uta fell asleep, an old man with a crutch appeared in his mind, sitting at a round table and waving at Uta, indicating that she should come this way. Uta also came and sat down at the table:
Old man - (sighs) You are so weak that it took you so long to get here.
Uta listens in surprise.
Old man - It was I who brought you into this world. (coughs) I apologize, I want to ask you something... Do you hear me?
Uta - First, I would prefer you tell me who you are. Plus, you called me here, and at the same time, you are going to ask me something?
Old man - (interrupts the conversation), Okay, but I won't have time to repeat myself, listen carefully: I am the god of this world, I created this world and founded the people, and now I watch over them from afar and stabilize this world. About 50 years ago, in this world's time, I summoned someone like you to become a hero for people by killing the demon king, but instead, he established peace between demons and people, which is good. But later, he started killing anyone he came across, regardless of race. So far, he has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Then I summoned you in the hope that I would ask you to stop him, but your spiritual power is much less than his. He was able to appear to me when he was only 6 years old, and you are 20 years old...
Uta - (interrupts), I am 10 years old, I was in the land of demons for 2 days, and when I got out…
God - you are now 20 years old, your life energy is lowed, and you can't change that. In short, I want you to defeat the former hero and bring peace to the residents there. In theory, if you don't do this, sooner or later, he will come to you and kill you.
Meanwhile, Diablo tries to wake Uta up. He checked her heartbeat, but he couldn't hear a single one. Her eyes filled with tears, she thought she was dead, and she held her heart. Suddenly, Uta woke up, looked at Diablo, who was crying with "crocodile tears", and asked why he was crying. Diablo added to his crying, but these tears were now of joy.
Diablo - Please don't turn off like that again, even though your heartbeat stopped all this time, I thought you were going to die...
Uta - Don't worry, I won't die, oh well, God ordered me to stop the hero.
Diablo - So you're okay (he sighed), did you see the hero? Are you talking about the hero Eugene?
Uta - Do you know anything about him?
Diablo - My father told me when we were at the party that no matter what the hero did, I wouldn't stand in his way.
Uta - How strong is he (she thought)
They both sat in silence until they reached their destination. As soon as they got out of the carriage, they saw a large city right in front of them. They explored the entire city until evening. Finally, they joined the guild. They were initially given a beginner rank and told that the more difficult missions they completed, the sooner they would advance to the next rank. Then they took on a task for the next day called "Kill 5 Elephrhinos and bring back their horns." Then they went to a hotel to sleep, where there was only one small room left, with a bed, a chair, and a small table. They had no other choice. There are only two hotels in the city, and the other one is at the other end of the city, so they rented a one-room hotel and climbed the stairs to the second floor to sleep.
