Chapter 155: May The Demon Burn In The Light

"Then? What did that demon hunter do? How did he help you?" Larry asked me in excitement. Theo rolled his eyes to the side in annoyance. While Emma sighed and looked away. Now I knew why Emma didn\'t come with Larry earlier and chose to wait in Theo\'s room.

"That demon hunter suddenly came and helped me at the last moment. He pulled the demon with his Holy Chain and killed it in one hit," I said in a flat tone without enthusiasm. I didn\'t know how many times Larry made me tell this.

"Then?" His eyes glinted in excitement, asking me to end my story with a compliment.

"Uh ... That demon hunter is really cool. He\'s a true hero," I continued in the same tone.

He looked happy with it.

"Of course, he is! Wahahaha!" And closed with his annoying laugh.

\'Why does he need to make it so obvious that it is him? \'I thought as I stared at Larry with a flat stare.

Unable to hold back his frustration, finally Theo opened his voice.

"Shut up, retarded snail! Can\'t you see I\'m sick ?!" he snapped irritably. From his loud voice, I was 100% sure, he would definitely recover quickly.

Larry pouted.

"Hey, my friend was just saved by a demon hunter. Please give some respect to that cool hero," he replied in annoyance.

"You\'ve made him tell us three times and I\'m tired of hearing it!" retorted Theo in annoyance.

\'Ha ... at last someone said it,\' I thought as a sigh of relief escaped my mouth. I wanted to say that since earlier, but as a victim, I should be more excited and not refuse when someone asked me to tell about my saviour. Just like how the Cretunt Bridge\'s victims were so excited to see Diamond after she saved them.

"It\'s his duty. What\'s the use of a demon hunter if he doesn\'t fight demons and only plays games at home?" added Theo curtly.

\'He\'s got a point,\' I thought. I knew maybe Larry was too happy because he managed to save me since he failed to save his other friend before, but it seems his reaction was too much.

"But that demon hunter is special. Didn\'t you hear what Ethan said earlier? He pulled the demon and killed it in one hit! I\'m sure he will become the greatest demon hunter in the world!" Larry\'s voice sounded like a politician giving his sweet promises on TV.

"How can you be so sure of it?" I said out of blue since I was getting bored of telling the same things over and over again. My eyes were still staring at him with a flat stare.

Larry gave me a confident look.

"Of course I\'m sure of it! Because that demon hunter is ---" His words stopped as he realized he almost revealed his own identity. While Emma and Theo glared at him, asking him to stop the chatter.

"--- my idol ..." he continued awkwardly. Then he pressed his lips.

Seeing the tension, Emma decided to calm us.

"Theo, how are you?"

"I feel much better," Theo answered in a calmer tone. Then he gave Larry a sneer.

"But it would be even better if that snail stopped babbling."

"Uh ... I\'m trying to cheer you up, you know? Who knows, you\'ll feel better after hearing Ethan\'s story," retorted Larry.

"Has the doctor told you when you can go home?" I tried to divert their conversation.

"They said maybe in a week or so," said Theo.

"That quite fast," I said in surprise. Judging from his HP and MP regeneration, he should be able to recover in another week, but considering his severe injuries, I didn\'t expect it to be that fast.

"Theo accident was caused by the government\'s mistake so he received special treatment," Emma explained.

"Is that so?" I concluded that the demon hunters were getting special treatment so they could go back on their duty as soon as possible.

* Beep * * Beep * * Beep *

The sound of the electronic alarm came, indicating that our visiting time was up. We got up from the sofa.

"Thank you for visiting me, guys," said Theo with a smile.

"I hope you will get well soon," I said.

"Take a rest, Theo," said Emma.

Larry remained silent, though he had stood up from his seat. His eyes were on Theo\'s wounds.

"Oi, retarded snail. Aren\'t you going to tell me something?" Theo asked curtly.

Finally, Larry opened his voice.

"You should take care of yourself well. Promise me don\'t do reckless things like before," said Larry in a serious tone.

Theo stiffened in surprise since he thought Larry would reply with a taunt or something, but he replied differently from usual. Likewise with Emma.

While I let out a breath and smiled. Yep, this was Larry. He looked like an annoying and irresponsible person but when it came to friendship, he was the type of person who could risk his life to help his friends.

"Get well soon. I will be waiting for you, Theo ..." said Larry. Then he stepped out of the room.

I turned to Theo and could see him lowering his head.

\'I wonder if he was moved by Larry\'s words.\' But a second later, I knew my thoughts were wrong since, from Theo\'s expression, he was clearly upset.

"That stupid retarded snail ...!" muttered Theo as he held back his anger. He turned to me.

"It\'s not what you think!" he said with a glare.

"Huh?" I was confused for a while, but then I just realized for the people who didn\'t know what Larry\'s meaning that he was waiting for Theo to return to his duty as a demon hunter, Larry sounded like a man waiting for his girlfriend.

"Ah ... Of course. He means he\'s waiting for you to play games with him again, right? He once told me that you guys like to play online games together," I said with an awkward smile.

Theo was silent for a moment before answering.

"Yeah, that\'s what he means." It seems he tried to find another good reason but there was none, that\'s why he just went along with my reason.

- Clek!

The sound of the door opening came and a nurse entered the room.

"I\'m sorry. The visiting time is up. Please leave immediately," he warned.

"Okay." Emma and I turned to Theo.

"See ya later, Theo." Then we walked towards the exit.

"Where\'s Larry?" said Emma as we stepped our feet outside the room and swept her gaze down the quiet hallway.

"Maybe he went to the toilet," I said as I took a seat nearby casually. Today I was not in a hurry since I had sent a message to Pearl that I would be late today. My hand patted the seat beside me, asking her to sit there. If we weren\'t in a public like this, I would ask her to sit on my lap.

Emma sat beside me and my hand crept over to grab hers. A seductive smirk on my lips.

"Ethan, not here," she whispered in embarrassment.

"I know. I just want to talk."

"About what?"

"What\'s salvation mean?" That word bothered me quite a bit since Tiffany seemed to confirm something about me from there.

"Did Tiffany say that?"

I nodded.

"That is the demon hunter battle cry as well as our secret code. If a demon hunter says \'Salvation\' then the others have to answer \'May the demon burn in the light\'," she explained.

"So she checked on me..." I muttered.

"Ethan, what happened between you and Tiffany?" she asked worriedly.

"She is my stepsister." A disappointed breath escaped my mouth.

"I thought I could meet my mom after meeting her but I was wrong." Then my mind went back to Emma\'s offer.

"Emma, you said you could check the cellphone location only from the number, right?"

"Do you want to find your mom by that number?"

"Yes. But I just found out that it is not my mom\'s number."

"What?" said Emma in disbelief.

"Another person using it, I think I know who she is. But I want to make sure of it. That\'s why I hope you can help me with this."

"Okay," she said with a smile.

Somehow her smile made me remember what we did yesterday. I glanced around me, making sure that no one was around before tightening my grip and turning to her.

"Ethan, what do you want to do?" she said in a blushed face as she realized I wanted to do something to her.

I brought my face closer to her.

"Can I have a kiss?" I said with a sweet smile.

"Bu-But we are in public," whispered Emma in objection.

"So I can\'t have it?" I made sure in a disappointed tone.

Emma was silent for a moment, before lowering her head to hide her blushing face.

"I think a light kiss is fine ..." she said in embarrassment.

"Okay, just a light kiss." My face moved closer to hers, I could see her blushing cheeks clearly. But as our lips almost touched one another, an announcement with a red box appeared in front of me.

[!!! Warning !!! ]

[Your partner, Celia Strongheart is in danger!]

[Your servant, Foxy is in danger!]

[Other Demons detected in less than 500 Meter from Celia Strongheart & Foxy.]

My eyes widened in shock and I pulled my face in reflex.

"I have to go now. Celia\'s in danger," I said in panic. My hands opened my sweater.

"What happened?" said Emma in the same panic.

"I\'ll explain it later. I\'ll leave my bag with you." Without further ado, I ran towards the toilet.
