Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 24 - . The Witch’s Trick
Chapter 24: 24. The Witch's Trick
"Although those two guys are indeed stupid, it's not easy to get by in this era... Let them go, and not only will all the wealth here be yours, but I'll also hand over several other hidden treasures to you, just spare their lives."
Kree looked at Fama Xi, who was bleeding on the ground, and resisted the urge to reach out, her expression still maintaining composure.
Fisher didn't think twice, the glow in his hand growing stronger,
"Hmm, not bad, but killing you and taking the visible treasures here would satisfy me as well..."
A crack appeared on Kree's calm face as she saw the light getting closer to Xi Ya's body, and she couldn't find any other way to stop Fisher for the moment.
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shouted,
"That red Dragon-man didn't come of age within the tribe, so she can't be complete. I can provide a method to help her reach her full form, and all those treasures will be yours as well, just let them go!"
But after saying this, even Kree regretted it.
Those Dragon-man Species were just this Human's slaves, and to Humans, demi-human slaves were merely objects, probably not as attractive as those treasures.
Rafael closed his eyes too, for the answer was obvious.
"..Interesting."
Unexpectedly, the light from Fisher's handcanedims dimmed, and he lowered his hand, "Your partner needs to stop bleeding. Come over and take care of it."
Kree was stunned for a second before she hurriedly floated behind Fisher, looking at the underground, closed-eyed Fama Xi. The blood on her had already dried quite a bit, but those two wounds still startled Kree.
She frantically covered the wounds with her ethereal hands, a ring she wore beginning to emit a faint light, seemingly engraved with a simple Healing Magic, but Fisher didn't bother anymore and just sat on the carriage, quietly waiting for her response.
Meanwhile, Rafael opened his eyes in surprise upon hearing Fisher's response, turning his head to look at his comrades; they were also looking at him.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Now it was Rafael who became a bit nervous and shy; his expression unchanged, his tail flicked back and forth, catching the gaze of the Human prisoners nearby.
"Kree... Fama Xi."
Xi Ya also finally snapped out of her previous daze. Kree didn't look at her; she sighed in relief after confirming Fama Xi's wounds were no longer bleeding,
"It's alright, she's still breathing."
She turned to look at the messy state of Xi Ya next to her, realizing they were definitely no match for this Human. They had robbed many surrounding Humans, but this was the first time they had encountered such a Human, an absolute monster...
"Can you now tell me the method for the Dragon-man's coming of age?"
Fisher tapped his handcan on the ground with a crisp sound, drawing Kree's still treating attention.
Kree removed her hands from Fama Xi's body and then turned to Rafael to say,
"The coming of age for the Dragon-man Species requires a ceremony to guide the growth of their Dragon Horn. Without specific Spell guidance from the Dragon-man Species, their horns will grow haphazardly and might sprout from different places. I just happened to have exchanged with a Dragon-man Tribe before for this part of the content. This Dragon-man should be coming of age in a few days, and the timing to prepare is just right."
Kree continued,
"The entire ceremony requires many items for the setup, and some things still need to be purchased from other tribes, some of which only accept Gold, not Human coins..."
Fisher glanced at the treasures they had placed in the hall, and casually said,
"Don't worry about the money."
Kree's face darkened, and Xi Ya next to her, covering her stomach, tried to speak,
"Hey, at least leave something for us."
Fisher looked at her expressionlessly, and her body suddenly weakened, not knowing what strange cases she had touched again as a blush rose on her face and the spider behind her trembled without spitting any more silk.
"I don't want your money, let these people go, help me set up the ceremony, and we're even..." he glanced at the two beaten demi-humans unable to fend for themselves and then added, "and my wallet."
Kree glanced at Xi Ya, who then took out the real leather wallet hidden inside her bra and tossed it to Fisher from a distance. Fisher first opened the wallet to count the Narliou within.
The money was fine, mainly because it also had banknotes and photos entrusted to him by Renie.
After confirming nothing had changed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tonight we'll stay here, and start preparing tomorrow. You all take care of your comrades first."
He walked up to the front of the cell, releasing everyone. Lar excitedly ran out and hugged Fisher, hanging on to him which startled his comrades,
"Lar!"
"Fisher, Fisher, I thought I wouldn't see you again, that Spiderman said you were beaten to death, scared Lar to death... I was wondering if there would be new holes in your head or somewhere else..."
"How could that be."
Fisher looked down at the lively Lar, her tail swishing lightly but her body very light and easy to lift.
Could she actually trust him, this Human, so much?
"Alright, Lar, come down now."
It was Mier who was most understanding, quickly running over to lift Lar down from Fisher's arms, "Sorry, Lord Fisher."
Fisher touched Lar's head to indicate there was no issue, then he remembered to ask Mier,
"Does the Dragon-man Species have a coming-of-age ceremony? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Ah? That... when I came of age, I was feeling awful and was mostly sleeping, so I'm not sure what my family did to me. All I know is that when I woke up, horns had grown... Sorry."
Mier felt somewhat guilty and lowered his head.
Fisher nodded his head then was about to ask how those humans were captured when suddenly, a chirping of birds came from the hall behind them,
"Chirp~ chirp~"
Fisher turned his head and saw a long-tailed lark emitting a deep purple glow flying around in the hall. It twirled in mid-air, reluctant to land, emitting clear chirping sounds.
A frustrated look crossed Fisher's face as he glanced at the demi-humans,
"Who touched the clothes on my carriage?"
Kree paused for a moment before raising her hand,
"It was me..."
"That's fine then."

Such a silly question to ask as all these demi-humans were females.
The lark caught Fisher's reflection in its eyes and joyfully landed on the shoulder of Fisher, who had just stepped out of the cell, but what it received was not a welcome but a gentle pecking sound,
"Fisher, bad man! Fisher, bad man!"
This child-like voice emanated from the lark, and with each peck, it shouted, drawing the attention of everyone in the cave towards him.
The bird was speaking in Nali Language, but due to the Brain Demon Species, everyone could understand.
Rafael, with sharp eyes, focused intently on his profile.
"Alright, Hart, does she have something to tell me?"
Fisher reached out to grab the little bird's head to stop it from pecking him, then he stroked its soft feathers and asked,
"Three things, three things..."
"Hmm?"
"First thing, first thing, stay away from those women, she touched Renie's clothes, Renie is angry, asked me to peck you."
"...And then?" Fisher inquired about her current situation.
"Second thing, second thing, Kado has not found her home, so she is planning to continue searching south."
Fisher pondered for a while before responding to the little bird on his shoulder,
"...I see."
"Third thing, third thing."
Hart, the magic lark, began chirping again,
"Renie says she misses you."
The cave fell silent, only the cute little bird Hart tilted its head looking at him, seemingly waiting for his response.
"I know."
Fisher's silence was longer than before, and it took him a while before he squeezed out a normal response and pinched his hand cane, then walked a distance toward the carriage.
"Any message you want Hart to take back? Any?"
In the cell, Rafael's gaze had always been on the human man's retreating figure, but their conversation was clear and audible, which she listened to intently, her tail still as she closed her eyes, seemingly indifferent.
"Tell her to take care of herself."
"Alright alright... Fisher says, take care of yourself, Renie, Fisher says take care of yourself..."
After hearing this, the little bird flapped its wings which began spinning faster in mid-air as rings of magic emblems appeared along its flight path. However, the movement was too rapid to discern what kind of magic it was.
As the bird's speed reached its apex, it suddenly transformed into a shooting star that shot out of the cave straight up into the foggy sky of the South Continent, until it found a specific direction in the star-filled area and vanished into the horizon.
Meanwhile, in the far-off Western Continent within Kado, buildings filled with an ascetic architectural style were engulfed in a pallor amid good weather, sunlight spilling over a spire-like hotel on the second floor.
At this moment, the southern-facing room's window was wide open, letting bits of incense drift outside, and a raven-haired beauty leaned by the window, apparently resting with closed eyes.
Waiting for that purple shooting star to return to her side, the purple lark fluttered several times at the edge of the window sill before settling down, but when it spoke again, it was no longer in the chirpy tone it had by Fisher's side.
"Alright, return my body to me, Hart."
The female opened her eyes, her vacant eyes gradually filling with a purple deeper than the starry sky until it completely filled her pupils. She then stretched lazily, gathering the now vividly chirping little bird into her palm.
Unfortunately, Fisher, that fool, was unable to discern the difference.
