My Demon Hunting System-Chapter 11: Let me explain everything then!

While placing her right fingers on her chin, and biting her lips in worry, Erica walked here and there, pondering,

'What should I do? What if something happens to Ary?'

At first, she thought of going to protect Ary, but on the second thought, she dropped the idea of going into combat since she had no combat ability.

Sigh!

She sighed as she snapped her right fingers, and a system appeared in front of her.

With a dry smile, she glanced at the system, saying,

"Why am I just a healer? I need combat ability too!"

Meanwhile, Galiriothoxmus, with his cracked face, and Lady Selene, who was standing beside Galiriothoxmus on the right, watched the anxious look on Erica's face.

"She's surely anxious about him."

In a low voice, Lady Selene commented.

"I know. No matter how many times she denies her feelings. She's definitely in love with Ary. Youngsters are truly weird."

Galiriothoxmus commented while rubbing his cracked face with a handkerchief.

"Shh! Be quiet or else you'll get another beating for sure."

Lady Selene warned him since she had already glimpsed Erica's punch back then.

"R-Right."

In a slightly frightened voice, Galiriothoxmus nodded.

Suddenly,

Swish!

"Huh?"

As they noticed the arrival of someone, their attention shifted to the enormous trees on the left.

"A-Ary?"

Erica called out as she noticed that the person was none other than Ary.

"Hmm?"

Ary responded as his attention shifted to his front. A smile shaped his face, he stepped forward, saying,

"It's good to see you're awake, Erica."

"Ah?!"

While Erica, on the contrary, was left awestruck after seeing Ary's wounds.

She bit her lips in anger then, raised her right hand, calling out,

"Come to me—Arael!"

Swish!!

The water in the lake started quivering, and a wand about half the height of Erica appeared in her hand.

The wand had a green orb at the top with a green flame blazing inside of it.

Erica pointed her Arael at Ary, saying,

"Now, you better stand still, don't move. Got it?"

"A-Okay."

Ary replied as he stood straight.

"Is she..."

Lady Selene, who was watching this scene, called out.

"Yes,"

Galiriothoxmus confirmed and continued,

"She is casting her healing magic on Ary to boost the healing process and recover his wounds."

Every Warrior has a regeneration ability. However, their ability wasn't quick.

That's why Erica was using her magic power to boost the regeneration ability of Ary.

"Now then, heal the person in front of me, Arael!"

Erica commanded and in the next second, a green flame surrounded Ary.

"...?!"

For a second, Ary, himself was left stunned but soon enough, as the flame vanished, his wounds vanished as well.

He looked around himself and after noticing that his wounds had gone, he smiled and grabbed Erica's hands, saying,

"Thanks a lot, Erica. You're a great help as always."

"Ah, y-yeah. You're welcome."

Erica responded, and for some reason, her face turned slightly red.

"Hmm?"

Ary reacted as he noticed her blushing.

'I see. It clearly showed your affection toward me. Yet…'

He lowered his gaze, adding:

'I'm still afraid to confess to you.'

He was afraid of rejection, of course.

But then, a smile shaped Ary's face. He raised his gaze, and while looking at Erica, he complimented,

"That dress suits you well, Erica."

"It is?"

Erica responded as her face turned bright red.

"Yep, you look so cute in it."

Ary added.

"Hmph! Th-Thank you!"

While folding her arms and pouting a little, Erica replied.

'She…Is she a Tsundere or something?'

Ary pondered after seeing Erica's reaction.

"So, Ary..."

A sagacious voice was heard from the left.

"....?"

Ary responded as he turned to his left.

Galiriothoxmus, who was watching their conversation, stepped forward and implored,

"Did you bring the crystal that I told you to?"

"Oh, that?"

Ary responded as he put his right hand in his pocket and picked out a purple shining crystal and handed it to Galiriothoxmus, saying,

"Here. This is the crystal, right?"

"Yes,"

Galiriothoxmus nodded as he picked up the crystal.

"Good work."

He praised Ary and tossed the crystal into the water.

Suddenly, some bubbles appeared out of the water and started floating around.

"This is…"

Ary called out as he looked at the bubbles containing various strange types of symbols.

"These are the timelines that were devoured by the demon lord so that he could create his own realm."

Galiriothoxmus commented.

"They have such type of powers too?!"

Erica was left startled after hearing Galiriothoxmus' testimony.

"Yes,"

Galiriothoxmus nodded, adding,

"They are also called Realm Hunters because of their habits of devouring realms."

"I see…"

Ary responded but suddenly, he noticed something odd.

"Hey, Galirio."

Ary called out.

"Yes?"

Galiriothoxmus responded.

While pointing his right index finger at Galiriothoxmus' cracked face, Ary asked,

"How did your egg face get cracked from the right side?"

"Ah, well. It's just that..."

Galiriothoxmus stammered as he had already sensed Erica's deadly gaze that clearly showed that, "If you tell him the truth, then I'll break your egg-shaped face entirely."

"N-Nevermind."

Galiriothoxmus replied, adding,

"By the way, how was your experience back then? Did you gain any level up?"

"Yeah…"

Ary replied. Suddenly some thoughts crossed his head. He lowered his gaze, adding,

"By the way, would it be fine if I ask you something, Galirio?"

"Hmm? Yes, go ahead."

Galiriothoxmus replied while giving his full attention to Ary.

"Tell me…just how many warriors did you guys summon before us?"

"...?!"

Both Galiriothoxmus and Lady Selene were left aghast after hearing Ary's testimony.

"Before us?"

Erica tilted her head after hearing Ary's words.

"Galiriothoxmus…"

Lady Selene called out as her gaze fell at Galiriothoxmus, beside her.

Sigh!

Galiriothoxmus lowered his head with a sigh, and called out,

"I know you'll ask this sooner or later."

"Well then..."

Then, he opened his right palm freely, and a shining globe-like crystal came out of the lake and started floating over Galiriothoxmus's open palm.

A golden light shone inside of it, and Galiriothoxmus continued,

"Let me explain everything from the very beginning. About the Demon King and you warriors."
