"So, shall we go, my bf?"
Bringing that same toxic smile to her face, the Demon reached her hand out toward.
Himanshu’s breathing still hadn’t come under control.
"What did you say?" That was all that managed to escape Himanshu’s trembling lips.
She replied with a laugh, "To buy clothes for your gf."
The Demon’s body was still completely visible through that wet t-shirt. Her figure was clearly showing. But right now... Himanshu’s fear and panic were so high that he didn’t even have the mind to look at any of it. ’The fear of death is way stronger than any sexual feelings’—he finally understood this completely today.
Gathering himself, slowly bringing his ragged breathing under control, Himanshu reached his hand forward. His badly shaking hands were practically screaming how terrible his condition was right now.
Himanshu felt the Demon’s cold hand... and in a split second, without any effort at all, she jerked him up to his feet.
Groaning in pain, Himanshu stood up holding his waist. The pain in his body was so severe that he just wanted to lay straight down on his bed, bury his face in a pillow, and stop his flowing tears. But when the fear of death is standing right in front of you, even physical pain fades away.
...
A little while later, the Demon walked out of the room wearing some of Himanshu’s other (and slightly bigger) clothes.
By then, Himanshu had put bandages on his wounds and was lying half-dead on the sofa. One of his arms and legs rested lifelessly on the couch. His swollen, red eyes clearly showed that after the Demon went into the room, he must have cried a river all by himself.
The broken telephone lying on the floor in front of him proved that all his attempts to call for help had completely failed. He only had one smartphone, and he had given that to the Demon too.
This exact thought was making him incredibly angry at himself over and over again. The strands of hair stuck between his fingers showed that he had pulled his own hair out of pure frustration multiple times.
As soon as the door opened, the Demon’s terrifying voice made Himanshu jump up from the sofa in an instant. The moment she stepped in front of him, he lowered his eyes in fear.
Right then, he remembered—how did she hide her horns?
The moment he looked up to check, Himanshu’s eyes went wide.
The Demon had cleverly hidden both her horns using her hair design. But Himanshu wasn’t shocked by how she hid them; he was worried because this design was one of the most trending hairstyles in this world. And then it hit him—his smartphone had completely opened up this world to the Demon. It was pretty obvious she must have tried looking up a lot of other things on the internet too.
Himanshu was just snapping out of these thoughts when the Demon’s next question gave him a hundred percent confirmation.
"So, how much do you earn in a month?"
That question was honestly shocking.
"Actually... I don’t earn anything right now," Himanshu said nervously.
"What? But the phone said you can work for others once you turn 18."
"Yeah, but I just turned 18 two months ago."
"So Mom handles all our expenses?"
The Demon made a twisted face, completely insulting him, and stepped forward. "Along with being a pervert, you’re lazy too."
Saying this, her eyes fell on the broken telephone lying on the floor.
"Did you take your anger out on this?"
"No, no..." Himanshu panicked, "It fell by mistake."
"Hmm." The Demon turned around. "So tell me, where will the money for the clothes come from?"
"I have some money."
In his heart, he absolutely didn’t want to say that. He didn’t want to spend his saved-up pocket money on this monster. But he also knew very well that if he didn’t, this terrifying Demon would just snatch money from someone else. If that happened, Himanshu would be in deep trouble too. That’s why, just to save his own life, he thought it was best to give her his pocket money.
The Demon gave a deep smile and said, "You made a very smart choice. Let’s go then."
Deep down, Himanshu knew that the Queen’s wild behavior was definitely going to cause a massive problem outside. But it wasn’t like he could say anything to her. He took a long, heavy breath and walked forward.
But as soon as he stepped forward, he totally didn’t expect this... the Queen started walking right behind him without saying a word. (Exactly like an obedient gf).
Himanshu opened the main door and stepped out.
The second the Demon stepped out of the house, a cool evening breeze kissed her face. The view in front of her was nothing short of a miracle for those eyes.
In the glass reflection of a massive skyscraper across the street, she could see her own building and the clothes she was wearing. For a moment, the Demon just kept staring straight ahead, as if the world had just stopped for her.
And then she looked to the side. There was a big open hallway on both sides, one side completely open to the outside and the other side... lined up with a bunch of doors exactly like Himanshu’s front door.
The clothes of every single person walking by felt like some new design or a total wonder to her. She was staring at everyone super carefully. When one person walked past, her eyes would automatically jump to the next one.
Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Good evening, Himanshu."
A woman was standing in front of the next door. Her hand was held by a cute little 5-year-old girl. The girl’s two pigtails, big eyes, and chubby cheeks totally screamed innocence. Her red frock, matching her mom’s, made it obvious they were heading out to some party. And standing right next to them was her husband, wearing a black suit and pants.
The moment Himanshu’s eyes fell on them, he quickly bowed slightly with respect and said,
"Good evening, Mrs. Emma Johnson. And Mr. James Wilson."
That’s when Mrs. Emma and Mr. James’s eyes fell on the Demon.
Meanwhile, the Demon wasn’t even blinking. Watching all this... the Demon couldn’t even believe it. Since when did people become so pure and good-hearted? That they were actually bowing their heads to each other out of respect! Back in her cruel demonic world, people were only ever ready to slit each other’s throats. One more thing was shocking and bothering her even more—the people here were wearing whatever clothes they wanted. Just walking around freely without an ounce of fear.
All of this was shaking her so deeply that for a second, the whole world seemed to freeze in her eyes.
"How did you get so hurt?"
The smile completely vanished from Mrs. Emma’s face.
"Did you get into an accident or something?"
"No, I just fell down the stairs."
"Are you okay now?"
Himanshu replied with a forced, stifled smile.
"Yeah, it doesn’t hurt that much anymore
Gesturing toward the Demon with his hand, he said, "Meet Veloria."
Himanshu paused for a second, took a deep breath, and said— "My girlfriend."
Hearing that...
Both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson looked at the Demon at the exact same time, completely shocked. They didn’t even blink. And then... after a few seconds, they looked at each other in total surprise.
It was obvious that this news was nothing short of a miracle for them.
The Demon snapped out of her thoughts and just gave them a faint smile. Obviously, why would she ever bow her head in respect to these insignificant bugs?
Himanshu totally noticed this, but he was already prepared for it.
Anyway, after hearing the whole ’girlfriend’ bomb, who would even care about such a small detail.
Just then, Mrs. and Mr. Johnson spoke at the exact same time—
"Wait, is a ’Rental Girlfriend’?"
Honestly, that was a totally fair question.
Waving both his hands frantically, Himanshu quickly panicked and said, "No, no, she’s my real gf."
A massive smile instantly appeared on Mrs. Emma’s face. "Wow! Such a huge jump in your personality so quickly? I’m honestly so happy to see this."
"Thanks, Mrs. Emma Johnson."
"By the way, Himanshu..." Emma said, looking him up and down, "Why are you wearing your school uniform?"
Hearing this, Himanshu jerked his head down to look at his clothes. After the absolute terror and pain of everything that happened with the Demon today, he completely forgot what the hell he was even wearing!
