Jahi: “Doux Sama, where did you take us?!”
Doux: “Ehehe, I dunno...”
Jahi: “Doux Sama! This place isn’t even our Dimension! I can’t feel the presence of any magic around here.”
“Hmm....Emmm....” Doux closed her eyes and started shuddering.
Jahi: “Doux Sama, what are you doing?”
Doux: “Feeling.....Ah! I feel! Magic this way!”
She started marching forward as Jahi put her palm on her face.
Doux: “Magic here! With Long Ears!”
She pointed at a White Elf which caused Jahi’s eyes to shrink in fear: “WATCH OUT!!!”
*BLAST!!!!*
As soon as Jahi pulled Doux and jumped, a blast of energy struck where she stood causing many trees to evaporate!
“Awawawaaa!!” Doux expressed surprised happiness.
“Terh, such power!” Jahi expressed shocked fear.
On the other side of the blast, stood Frieren shooting dagger like gazes at The Demons.
Doux: “So strong! Again, again!”
Jahi: “Doux Sama, stay back; this isn’t a game.”
Doux: “Awah?”
Jahi: “That power... It has to be her: The Elf who strikes fear in every demon, a Monster to all of Demon Kind, a Creature who sense fear and destroys everything it sees...”
Doux’ eyes glittered while hearing Jahi’s exposition.
Jahi: “You must be Frieren!”
Frieren, The White Elf, had her eyes expand for a split second, then she aimed and charged her staff!
“SHIT!” Jahi pulled Doux and jumped!
*BLAST!!!*
Frieren: “Twice huh? Either I’m getting rusty or you're very good.”
Jahi: “Dam you, Doux Sama, when I start fighting, Run.”
“Awah?” Doux looked up at Jahi while being put on the ground.
“NOW!!” The Demon Handler jumped and swung her hands unleashing fire towards The Elf which made Frieren slam her staff on the ground and create a protective barrier.
*Flowah!*
The brightness of the clash made Doux shut her eyes, but she started clapping after regaining her sight.
Frieren started focusing and charged again as Jahi jumped and started throwing many fireballs. Seeing as her attacks did not penetrate the shield, Jahi pulled her hands up and flung lightning towards The Elf, adding pressure to her shield. Frieren continued charging her spell while her shield suffered a lot, then opened her eyes instantly and pointed her staff!
*FWAH!*
Jahi jumped away as soon as she saw Frieren’s flash, dodging the attacks and creating herself a pair of wings to force Frieren to shoot upwards. During that, Doux happily watched Jahi fight in real time and was very thrilled by it, she even started walking towards her caretaker.
Frieren looked up, swung her staff, and launched a magic fire ball towards her enemy, landing a direct hit! Jahi immediately retained her balance and dove to attack Frieren head on! But Frieren jumped and swung her staff in a circle creating many Mandalas which bombarded Jahi with magic attacks.
With Jahi on the ground and Frieren gaining aerial control, Jahi planted her feet while blocking with her arms, then launched herself like a cannonball towards Frieren!
*SLAM!*
Jahi managed to hit Frieren right in the center! However, Frieren was unharmed as she looked down on The Demon Girl.
Frieren: “You’re a bold one...”
“Huh..?” Jahi’s eyes lose their luster after seeing the many blades Frieren created while being tackled.
*SWASH!*
As soon as the blades struck Jahi, her Toxic Blood splashed on The Elf’s face who realized too late what fell on her!
“AAAAHH!!” Frieren hit the ground and stepped away, “This... This is new!” She kept her hand on her burnt face.
*Slam!*
Jahi fell in front of her, presumably unconscious.
“Awah?” Doux questioned, “Jahi?” She ran towards the fallen demon.
Jahi: “Terh... Those spells... are not... otdinary...”
Frieren stepped closer to her fallen enemy, then pointed her staff towards her head.
Jahi: “That’s... unfair...”
Frieren’s staff started glowing and the brightness reflected in Jahi’s eyes, so she closed them and braced herself.
"Stoooop!!" Doux' voice echoed in their ears, "Stop pwease! Don’t fight!" Doux held Frieren’s leg with tears in her eyes.
Frieren looked down at Doux, face riddled with confusion.
Doux: “Stop fighting... Pwese!”
Her crying was genuine, like a Human Baby unable to stop herself from breaking down. Frieren tried to comprehend what she was looking at, but she then pointed her staff at Doux and started charging it.
“DOUX SAMA!!” Jahi cried, “DOUX SAMA!! RUN!!!”
Doux looked at the light getting brighter making her pupils dwindle.
. . . . . .
*Fsssss...*
Doux grabbed the light from the magic staff and turned it off.
“What?!” Frieren Questioned.
Doux: “It closed...”
Frieren’s confusion was too great to understand what just happened.
Jahi: “(That's right! Doux Sama is no ordinary demon, she is The Demon Lord’s Daughter!)”
Frieren: “That was a very destructive spell, how did she turn it off?”
Doux was just as confused, she pulled her hands up and jumped cutely, making Frieren take a step back.
"Long ears feel ouchies?" Doux wondered, “Doux help Ouchies go away!” She smiled and ran towards Frieren making back down.
Doux: “Ehehehe, ouchie ouchie go away!”
Frieren: “Stay back, Demon.”
Doux: “Ouchie ouchie go away!”
Jahi’s confusion was immeasurable; she could not believe the Baby Demon is making Frieren run for her life.
Jahi: “That's the Most Dangerous Slayer of Demons to ever walk the Earth... Backing down from My Lady?”
Doux continued running until she hugged Frieren's leg, who started shaking it to shake her off.
Frieren: “Get off me!”
Doux: "Ehehehe! Ouchie ouchie go away, Long ears ouchies go away.”
Frieren: "What is this?? What are you... doing?”
She felt her pain fading and her burns disappearing, it was...unnatural.
Frieren: “What? What magic is this?”
“Hehehe, Long ears ouchies gone! Long ears safe!” Doux expressed genuine happiness causing even Frieren to soften up!
Doux: “Long ears is strong, Jahi is strong too, but Long Ears is stronger! Long ears… So Cool!!”
Her eyes were sparkling like stars in the night sky which made Frieren blush instantly. But, she quickly shook her head to remind herself how Demons truly are.
*Yank*
She picked up The Tiny Demon and asked her directly: “What is your game? What do you gain from this?”
Doux laughed happily: “Doux wuv Long Ears, Doux wanna be friends with Long Ears.”
Frieren blushed with her eye twitching, it made Doux question with a frown: “Is that bad? Long ears don’t want to be friends?”
“No, No!” Frieren stuttered, “(Wait! What am I saying?!)” She thought fanatically.
“Hweeh? We can be Fwends?” Sparkles returned to Doux’ eyes.
“(It’s easy, just tell her no, and move on with your life.)” Frieren thought to herself, “Yes.” She blurted after seeing Doux’ precious face.
Doux: “Yaaaaay!! Ahahahaha.”
Frieren let out a sigh: “In all my years meeting all kinds of creatures, nothing would’ve evr prepared me for this...”
She admitted defeat.
Later, Doux went up to Jahi to cast “Ouchie ouchie go away” on her and helped her get up, followed immediately by Frieren demanding an explanation.
Jahi: “I really don’t know how to tell you this, but the demon lord’s daughter is too kind.”
“Demon Lord?” Frieren refused to believe her ears, “Her?” She pointed at Doux hugging her leg.
Jahi nodded to confirm.
Frieren: “But that’s impossible; The Demon Lord is Dead, I was there when he died.”
Jahi: “Oh! So this place has a Demon Lord too.”
Frieren: “Had.”
Jahi: “More importantly, we are from another Dimension actually, and we are trying to get back.”
Frieren: “Another dimension?”
Jahi nodded to confirm again: “We were practicing magic, or should I say, I was teaching her how to use her magic and she brought us here.”
Doux: “Ehehe sowwy.”
Jahi: “All I want is for us to Go Back to our world. Do you have any spells that can do that?”
Frieren: “Why didn’t you use your magic to open up a portal?”
Jahi blushed and admitted: “I’m afraid my magic prowess is nowhere near Doux Sama, for I’m a mere Caretaker and nothing more.”
Frieren: “Fine the, I’ll give you a hand.”
She stood up, planted her staff into the ground creating a magic circle around herself.
*Fowaaahh*
A Giant Wormhole Portal has opened right in front of The Elf.
Doux: “Awaaahhhh!!! Big Door!!”
Jahi immediately pulled The Little Demon and spoke to The Elf: “We won't get Evaporated after we go in, right?”
Frieren: "Supposedly, it should be fine, but I’ve never had a chance to test it before.”
“Reassuring...” Jahi expressed disbelief.
Doux: "Hehe, Bye Long Ears! See you soon!”
As they went to the portal, Doux waved happily for Frieren which made Frieren warm up and wave back.
*Fowah!*
The portal disappeared and Frieren stood still for a bit, lowering her hand slowly.
“It’s like waking up from a Dream...” She lamented, turned back, and walked away.
