Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 30 - . That night
Chapter 30: 30. That night
"Sometimes it really surprises me, what could possibly motivate Lord Fisher to do such a thing? To risk so much for a demi-human..."
Kree looked up at the massive cluster in the sky that was descending slowly under the moonlight—a spectacle so shocking that one might rarely witness it in a lifetime. Meanwhile, Fisher, who had returned, picked up the coat on the ground and covered his upper body with it.
Due to the burns, the pain elicited when the fabric touched his skin made him inhale sharply.
"To go to such lengths for that Dragon-man Species, what do you want from her? The tribe of the Dragon-man, slaves, or... is it just the girl's body you desire?"
Kree uttered the latter part of her statement without any expression, yet it frightened Xi Ya, the large spider beside her, who hugged herself and then took two steps back.
Fisher lit a cigarette and took a long time before giving an equivocal answer,
"Heh, it's to save the world..."
"....."
But as he pronounced this answer, even he found it somewhat amusing, so a slight smile touched the corners of his mouth, rendering the two demi-humans before him completely baffled—they thought he was joking.
Up to now, Fisher had almost confirmed that the red Dragon-man Species girl in his team was indeed the "Red Dragon Queen" mentioned in the prophecy.
She was more special than any regular Dragon-man; at least Fisher didn't think any adult Dragon-man would manifest such outrageous phenomena, nor would they have horns like hers.
He remembered searching for the "Undead Witch" in the Western Continent, only to find Renie—who was no different from other witches, except that she learned magic much faster. It took Fisher a long time to grudgingly admit that he had set his sights on the wrong person...
But now the problem was, with the subject of the prophecy being Lord Raphael, how was he to prevent it from happening?
For instance, by killing her directly.
Even though Raphael had already come of age, killing her was still feasible with the help of the over hundred magics engraved in Fisher's Handcane...
Fisher's grip on the Handcane tightened, and even the calmness in his eyes frosted over.
"Fisher, Fisher!"
He turned his head to look at the beautiful Dragon-man who was being escorted by her partners toward the lakefront. In front of her, the little Lar ran over, eager to hug him, but he stopped her from coming closer by touching her forehead with a finger,
"I've been burned. Don't touch me for now."
"Wuu... then Lar will blow on it for you, blowing on it will make it stop hurting, hoo~ hoo~"
Lar first looked a bit aggrieved, but then her eyes lit up, and she began to blow cool air towards Fisher's body with her hands in front of her mouth.
However, the effect was minimal, and it even tickled Fisher a bit.
Fisher looked at Lar in front of him, then at the other Dragon-men behind her, including Raphael who was avoiding his gaze.
Maybe, killing her wouldn't solve the problem.
Fisher suddenly thought this.
The issues between demi-humans and Humans were deeply entrenched and would inevitably erupt into the most intense conflict.
What he was doing was essentially quashing the hope of the demi-humans' rebellion, followed by Humans completely crushing the demi-humans, reducing their land to property, their lives to stepping stones, and their offspring to eternally serve as Human slaves and livestock, until another powerful demi-human was born to lead them to victory.
But what did he truly want to see?
Did he want to witness his own kind, like the prophecy's Red Dragon Queen, utterly annihilate the demi-humans?
If by any chance someone among the demi-humans got hold of the "Human Completion Manual," then the demon corresponding to the prophecy would certainly be Fisher himself.
Fisher looked down at his Handcane; no light shone to suddenly kill Raphael. He just remained silent for a long time, then stood up and patted Lar on the head,
"Alright, now that Raphael has come of age, all is well. Let's go back and rest, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow."
He then looked towards Kree and the others,
"Thanks for your help, we'll be saying goodbye tomorrow."
"Oh, it's our apology..."
Kree also bowed slightly to Fisher, her lips smiling.
...
...
At night, in the bedroom of the dragon people on Fisher's carriage.
After living with Fisher for a while, they had mastered how to turn the room lights on and off; however, they would only turn off the lights before they fell asleep. Now they would also close their door, since Fisher always closed his when he went to sleep and wouldn't bother with their room.
"Lord Raphael, please let me see your scales, please."
"Didn't you just look at them?"
Raphael, sitting on the bed, extended her hand after being pestered by Lar, who admired her beautiful scales with shining eyes.
"Wow, Lar wants to grow scales like Lord Raphael's too... huh?" Suddenly, Lar noticed something and focused her gaze on what was in front of Raphael, "Lord Raphael's have gotten bigger."
"Lar!! What are you looking at?!"
"Ouch... it hurts, Sister Mier, Lord Raphael hit me..."
Raphael blushed and punched Lar on the head, leaving her to run to Mier's arms, holding her head and crying out in pretend agony.
Mier rubbed her head, laughing,
"That's what you get for being so annoying, touching around like that... After becoming an adult, everyone goes through this, it's a sign of maturity. If we were in the tribe, Raphael would be able to participate in the tail-fitting ceremony. All the boys of a similar age would be there. With Raphael's looks, she will make many boys go through their tail-fitting..."
As soon as the tail-fitting was mentioned, Raphael seemed to think of something, shuddering, and her cheeks, which Lar had touched, turned deeper red instead of fading.
Suddenly, she thought of her reaction just now, that she could have feelings for that human...
"Hmph, by Raphael's standards, there's definitely no one in the tribe good enough for her..."
"Exactly, you agree, don't you, Lord Rapha... huh?"
Fasher and Kexier were sitting beside Raphael, just wanting to touch her body, but when they did, she jumped back as if shocked, her face turning bright red as she stared at the bewildered Fasher.
Just now, she thought... it was Fisher, that human, who had come in...
And then, as before, he had touched her scales with his hand...
Wait, why would she even think that?
Raphael's tail flickered joyfully a few times, and the pink on her cheeks deepened.

"What's wrong, Lord Raphael, why is your face so red?"
Mier, a bit worried, reached out to her but was dodged by Raphael, who hurriedly turned off the bedroom light, plunging the room into darkness.
"I'm... I'm a bit tired today, let's go to sleep."
After turning off the light, she immediately covered herself with the blanket, curled up motionless on the bed, leaving her companions puzzled.
"That's true, Lord Raphael has just come of age today and must be exhausted..."
Raphael buried her face into the blanket and didn't move, finding that human Fisher annoying for always doing strange things.
But after all, he had helped her a lot and had been kind to her companions.
When the time comes, she'll just defeat him without killing him, and make him return her companions' slave Emblems...
