Chapter 2

The Golden Lion, General Royalfang—or Felida Ba Aurio, as he introduced himself—had a different demeanor from the white wolf demon we’d fought. That general had thrown himself single-mindedly into slaughter, driven solely by his rage; but the Golden Lion was his exact opposite. I got a sense that his feet were planted firmly on the ground, and he had the calm air of someone willing to quietly sit and observe before acting.

“So, you serve the Witch... How’s she been, then? I told her I’d let bygones be bygones if she’d learn her place and live humbly. I never would’ve imagined she’d be keeping girls like you two, though.”

We were in the depths of the forest, at the heart of an encampment guarded by layer upon layer of fortifications. The general’s den lay beneath a cloth tarp spread between the trees to form a canopy; that was where Cion and I had been brought.

I’d explained the plan to Cion in advance: We had someone within the Church who had connections with the demons, and if I used that person’s name, they might be willing to talk with us. But with her weapons confiscated and her hands chained together, it was no surprise that she was having trouble keeping her cool.

“You scared of us? We’re just a couple kids, aren’t we?”

She was putting up a calm front, but she was clearly on edge, and I was already having misgivings.

“Cion, we aren’t here to pick a fight, all right? I let you join me because you insisted, but please...”

“But... But Alicia!”

Her eyes went to my chains, then drifted over to my tail.

“Why do you look so excited?” she asked slowly.

“Wha—?”

I turned to look at the wolf’s tail or whatever it was (it was growing from my body, anyway); I hadn’t been paying much attention to it, but it had started wagging on its own. I scowled down at it.

“I’m...not, particularly...”

It felt like this tail had a mind of its own sometimes. I understood the basic principles underlying my demonification, but it really was challenging to deal with, to put it nicely...

“Gah ha ha! So that’s how it is!” Royalfang laughed. “You’re upset seeing your friend all chained up like a slave, eh, missy? Well, don’t you worry—you’re both too lean for my taste. I like my girls with a bit more flavor to ’em!”

The Golden Lion looked totally relaxed as he roared with laughter, but the atmosphere around us was obviously tense.

“Ordinarily, I’d want to dispute that point...” I sighed. But under the present circumstances, snapping back that I had plenty, thank you very much, and that my chest and butt were a perfectly normal size, wouldn’t help matters at all.

In any case, Royalfang had immediately picked up that Cion was a girl; he clearly had an excellent sense of smell. I needed to get the conversation moving before he provoked her into saying something she shouldn’t.

“In any case, allow me to get right to business. Please, withdraw your forces. If this battle continues, it could easily develop into all-out war.
