Chapter : 5 .
(Hong was scared, seeing the severed bodies on the middle of the road, and his heartbeat was racing faster than before.)
Hong (Thinking): Who did this now...?
(He falls to his knees and puts both hands on his head, thinking with great strain): Oh no, has another Demon arrived? The condition of these dead bodies is exactly like Suha's father's dead body. And looking at these dead bodies, it seems that the murder just happened, and no one got wind of it. This is definitely the work of another demon.
(Just then, media reporters arrived from behind, along with a man who looked terrified.)
Media Reporter: As you can see, four men have been murdered on the city's most deserted road, and the condition of their dead bodies is similar to the dead body of a foreigner murdered in the middle of the city two days ago. The man present with us informed us about this. Let's ask him.
Media Reporter: So, tell us what you saw.
The Man (Frightened and trembling): About an hour ago, I was going home from this same road. Suddenly, I heard screams for help. Then, as I turned a corner on the road, I saw a man, completely wrapped in a sheet, standing near the dead bodies of the three men. He had four human hearts in his hand. And just behind him, one more man was dead. Before that man could see me, I ran away from there and informed you. I think some Demon in human form is roaming in this city now. I request the city government to take necessary steps quickly and save the lives of its citizens.
Media Reporter: So, as you all heard this man's statement, he says that some other demon, different from the previous one, killed them. According to this man, he looks like a human and is extracting human hearts. This is a very shocking piece of news coming forward. Are many demons going to arrive in this world soon?
(Just then, Hong, who was present there and heard everything the man said, spoke): Listen, media reporter, turn towards me.
(Hearing Hong's voice, all the media reporters turn their attention to Hong.)
Media Reporter: And look, viewers, Sir Chayon's son, the city's wealthiest person, Sir Hong, is also present with us. So, Sir Hong, do you have any information about these four murdered men?
Hong: As that man said that some demon in human form killed them, I will get to the bottom of this matter and try my best to find this demon. We have all seen the previous demon with our own eyes, who was not in human form. And in tomorrow's worldwide live report, Doctor Suhon and I will present whatever we have found out about that demon.
But before that, I would like to make a request to the people of our city: from now on, no one should step out of their homes unnecessarily at night. Care for your lives. And one thing I want to tell you is that the murders that have occurred in these two days were a bit strange.
First was Suha's father's murder, whose body the demon brutally cut up and took one part, the heart. And how that demon died is still unknown. The second murder was that of the demon itself, whose body was in perfect condition, but its heart was not present in its body. The third murder happened today to my bodyguard. When my father got his body checked, the heart was also not present in his body. And now, these four murders' dead bodies are exactly like Suha's father's dead body.
But in the second case (the demon's and the bodyguard's), the heart was missing without external damage. So this means either a demon exists that cuts the body into small pieces to extract the heart, OR a demon that can extract the heart without damaging the body, OR there is more than one demon, OR there is only one demon that possesses both these powers.
For now, these four dead bodies should be sent for post-mortem. And I promise all of you that I will open all the doors to these demons' secrets. And I want to tell this city's government to issue a High Security Alert across the entire city and take necessary steps regarding this issue. In tomorrow's worldwide live report, the secrets of this demon that Doctor Suhon and I have uncovered will come before the world. I want to tell you all that there is no need to panic. I, and this entire world, will help each other solve this problem. Whatever that demon is, it just wants human hearts, and human hearts are not a toy that it will take so easily.
Media Reporter: And as Sir Hong has given us spirit with his words and has stated that he will certainly do something, he has announced to the whole world that the people of this entire world will collectively solve this problem. And now, we all await tomorrow's worldwide live report, for which the whole world is eagerly waiting.
(On the other side, Suha, who had fallen asleep while hugging Hong, suddenly opens her eyes, and she is much more frightened than before.)
Suha (Thinking): Now I remember everything. From the beginning until the end—who I am, how I came to Earth, and which Queen I have been working for all these years. And just as I had promised myself, I will tell Hong everything when my memory fully returns.
Maid in the Room: Oh, you are awake, Miss Suha. I will bring you food.
Suha: Okay, but where is Hong?
Maid: Sir Hong has gone out of the house for some work, and he instructed me that when you wake up, I should respectfully bring you food.
Suha: Yes, alright, bring the food.
(The maid goes to get the food.)
Suha (Thinking): Did hugging Hong and sleeping with him cause all my memory to return? Did this happen because of that?
(Just then, Hong returns home. His father, who was very angry, calms down seeing Hong back home, hugs Hong, and says):
Father Chayon: Why do you worry me so much, my son? You know, ever since you left home, I have been restless. Promise me that you will never go out of the house at midnight again.
Hong (Thinking): It seems Dad still hasn't found out about the murder of those four men today. But there's no point; he will definitely watch TV now, and then he will find out everything, including the fact that I was present at the murder scene and talking to the media.
Hong: Okay, Dad, I promise I won't go out of the house at night. Are you happy now, Dad?
Father Chayon: Very good, my son. And I don't want your life to be in danger in any way. So, now go to your room and rest. If you are hungry, come eat dinner first.
Hong: No, Dad, I ate outside, from a five-star restaurant. Don't worry, and I am very tired, so I will go to my room and rest, okay, Dad?
(After this, Hong goes towards his room, and Suha is waiting for Hong.)
(As soon as Hong enters his room, Suha looks at the door opening sound with great restlessness, as if she had been waiting for Hong for a long time.)
Suha: You're back home, Hong. And what work took you out of the house, that too so late at night?
Hong (Thinking): I don't want to tell Suha about the report of the blood that suddenly appeared on my hand.
Hong: Nothing, I just had to discuss a matter with Doctor Suhon, so I went out.
(Suha goes and sits on the bed and says): Okay, Hong, I know you must have done something. Come here, sit on the bed next to me. I need to talk to you about something important.
(Hong goes and sits next to Suha on the bed. Then Suha holds Hong's hands with both of hers and says): Hong, have you noticed that bad things have been happening in this world ever since I came into your life?
Hong: What kind of things are you saying? And tell me, did you eat or not?
Suha: I ate, but that wasn't the answer to my question.
Hong (Thinking): Suha is right; such strange things have been happening in this world ever since Suha came into my life, but I don't want her to feel that all these strange things started after she came into my life, otherwise, she will blame herself for all this.
Hong: No, that's not true. Even though these strange things have been happening since you came into my life, it's just a coincidence. It's not your fault in this.
Suha (Looking down): No, Hong, this is not a coincidence. I remember everything now, because of your love.
Hong (With surprise): What are you saying? What do you remember? And how is all this not a coincidence?
Suha: You said you trust me and would do anything for me.
Hong: Yes, I said that, but Suha, what is wrong with you today? You are behaving a bit strangely today.
Suha: I know you won't believe my story at all, but Hong, I swear this is the truth.
Hong: Now that you've sworn, I will completely believe your story.
Suha: Promise me that after hearing my story, you won't leave me.
Hong: I can't even think of leaving you in my dreams. Now tell me.
(Suha thinks for a while and suddenly says): Hong, the truth is that all this is happening because of me. And one more thing: I am a Kaluter, who was given human form and the power to speak every human language.
(Hong's eyes widen, and he speaks with a very strange pressure): What is this 'Kaluter' thing?
Suha: The Demon that died in the middle of the market is called a Kaluter, and in human language, it is called a Demon.
Hong: It can't be like this. You can't be a Demon. I can't be so foolish as to fall in love with a Demon.
Suha: I told you that you wouldn't believe me, but sadly, this is the truth, Hong. Calm down, I will tell you everything from the beginning. After hearing my story, the right to decide is yours, Hong. Even if you kill me after hearing my story, I will have no sorrow.
Hong: Firstly, I still don't believe you are a Demon. But if you are truly a Demon and have come here with some bad intention, then I will have to kill you, which I won't be able to do. But first, I will listen to your story. So now, tell me your entire story.
Suha: Alright, I will tell you the whole story. This is about 200 years ago, meaning two centuries ago. And my age is 210 years.
Hong: What? You are that old, and you haven't aged yet?
Suha: Because I am a Kaluter Demon in human form, who came to the human universe on a mission. And we Kaluter Demons never age. The one thing that is the same between us and humans is the Heart. So now, you keep quiet and let me speak.
Hong: You came on a mission? What kind of mission is it?
Suha: So now listen, 200 years ago...
(Queen of Kaluter): I have traveled so many universes, but I still haven't found anything so powerful that I can make it even stronger with my magic book and add it to my Kaluter army.
(Commander of the Kaluter Army): Queen, the universe we are going to now has many galaxies, and among them, 12,000 galaxy solar systems have planets inhabited by a weak species called Humans. According to our observation, those humans have a heart similar to ours.
(Queen of Kaluter): What do you mean? How can those humans have a heart like ours? If those humans have hearts, what is the difference between our hearts and theirs?
(Commander of Kaluter): Look, Queen, although we are much stronger than humans, the power you have given us in our hearts, if we put that power into a human's that human will become many times stronger than us.
(Queen of Kaluter): Oh, good. But how can I believe your words?
(Commander of Kaluter told one of his Kaluter soldiers): Go and bring that special Kaluter here.
(Then that soldier brings the Kaluter to the Queen.)
Commander of Kaluter: We captured a human a few days ago for testing. When we saw that he has a heart similar to ours, I took out that human's heart and put it into one of our Kaluters. And when I added some power to that human heart, the Kaluter became so powerful that he killed an army of 1,000 Kaluters with one hand.
(Queen of Kaluter): So, that means if I put the power of my magic book into human hearts and then put those hearts into my Kaluter army, we will be the most powerful species in the entire universe! This is truly very exciting!
(Commander of Kaluter): Yes, Queen. To make you even more powerful, we need 50 billion human hearts.
(Queen of Kaluter): I have to travel to more universes, so I won't have the time to go and kill humans. And tell me one thing, what other information have you gathered about humans?
Commander of Kaluter: I have found out about humans using my super sensing power that humans have love and affection for each other, which we Kaluters do not have. And if any of us Kaluters falls in love with a human, the power that you gave them will go to that human. And you already know that once our power goes into a human heart, it will become even stronger, or rather, I should say, your given power will go 5 levels higher when it enters a human heart. That means 5 more forms of the same power will come, and as that human grows older, the level of power will also increase with him. I have also found out that humans like beautiful things. There is a male and a female among humans. The male moves their lineage forward with the female and creates more humans like themselves. It is easy to deceive humans.
(Queen of Kaluter): Humans like beautiful things? If we give a human form to one of our female Kaluters and make her very beautiful, we can send her to the human world on a mission to extract human hearts.
(Commander of Kaluter): If we give human form to one of our female Kaluters, she will never be the same as before.
(Queen of Kaluter): Then we won't tell this to that female Kaluter. Now go and bring a female Kaluter. I have planned everything else.
(After a while, the Commander of Kaluter brings a female Kaluter to the Queen.)
(The Queen speaks to that female Kaluter): What is our purpose, Kaluter Number 453?
(That female Kaluter says): Our Queen's purpose is to gather all the hidden power in the universe into her magic book and become the most powerful species of all universes with that power.
(Queen): Very good. And now you will go on a mission. Listen, Commander of Kaluter, how many human hearts do we have right now?
(Commander of Kaluter): The Kaluter we empowered with a human heart just captured another female human, so now we have one more human heart.
(Queen): Very good. So now quickly take out that female human's heart and put it into this female Kaluter, and give her the appearance of that female human.
(Then, after a while, when the orders given by the Queen were completed, that female Kaluter was given a human heart and the appearance of the recently captured female. Then the Queen said):
Listen, now your mission is to extract the hearts of the humans of this universe. 12,000 galaxies have planets in their solar systems where humans are settled. I am giving you the power of Heart Teleport from my magic book. Now that you have a human heart, this power must have become even stronger. It means it has become so powerful that you will be able to teleport hearts from one universe to another, but that heart will only be teleported to me. You just have to go among humans, deceive them with your beauty, and extract their hearts. Point your human hand towards any human and then clench your fist. By doing this, the power of Heart Teleport will be activated, and you will be able to teleport their heart to me without any damage to the human body.
But there will be a limit: you can only teleport 100 human hearts at a time. After extracting 100 human hearts, you will have to wait for one hour. And as soon as you teleport the hearts of all the humans from one planet, you will automatically be teleported to the next planet because of my power. I hope you will complete this mission.
(The human-form Kaluter girl said): Yes, Queen, I will complete this mission for you, and I am the one who can do it.
(Then the Commander of Kaluter said): Queen, now we need to give this human-form Kaluter a human name.
(Queen): What name should I give her? You tell me, Commander.
(Commander): We should name her Suha. Humans will surely like this name.
(Queen): So, alright, your name from today is Suha. And one more thing: Do not fall in love with any human, because if you do, all your power will go to that human.
(Suha Kaluter): Yes, I understand that I will not fall in love with any human.
(Queen): Now go and complete this mission for your Queen.
(After all this, for 190 years, I kept mercilessly killing humans, and their hearts kept being teleported to the Queen. The Queen said that I could extract the heart from the human body without any damage, but that was not true. Whenever I pointed my hand towards humans and clenched my fist, their bodies would be cut into small pieces, and only the heart would not be present in the pieces, which would have been teleported to the Queen.)
I got tired of killing humans for 190 years, and I think the human heart I was given caused some sympathy for humans to arise within me. Because of this sympathy, I couldn't kill all the people of one very beautiful planet. I had almost killed all the humans on that planet, but the limit stopped me, and only 100 humans were left, who started chasing me to take revenge.
(Then, Suha told Hong all the memories that came to her in her dreams. And when Suha told Hong, her heart was changed once again. When the 100 remaining humans of that planet were about to kill her, a Kaluter saved her, and that was the same Kaluter who was first given a human heart. But because of the limit of my heart, that Kaluter swapped his human heart with Suha's human heart. The human heart that the Kaluter had, had no limit.)
(Then, as soon as Hong came to know about Suha's entire story, it was morning.)
(Suha's hands held Hong's hands, and there were tears in both their eyes. Hong tightly hugged Suha and started crying.)
(Then suddenly, a huge creature unexpectedly appeared a short distance from the city's seashore. The people present on the beach started saying upon seeing this creature):
A man on the beach (Screaming): Oh no! This is exactly like the Colossal Titan from the Attack on Titan anime!
(Hearing this, the second man said): Are you crazy? That's just an anime, but this is exactly like it!
(Everyone was scared seeing this huge creature and started calling it the Colossal Titan from Attack on Titan.)
(Then one more man said): Look closely, there is a human-like figure standing on its shoulder!
(Then, as that big Titan lifts one of its feet forward, all the people who came to the beach in the morning run away upon seeing it and spread the word in the city that Colossal Titans really exist. But what exactly was that big creature?)
